The Four Lands - The Colony

[Neurotic]

Randal Lucius Stormweaver

Randal enjoyed the storm.

Lashed to the mast he encouraged the sailors with his inspiring songs and chants and in the worst of the weather he protected the ship from structural damage using his lyre.

When he received summons he changed into dry and clean clotches and transferred there.

OOC: I assume ship can be protected like a building...it has it's structural integrity and is big If not I'll change upper part of the post...

Pandak

Pandak revels in the storm and in Randal's singing. With a dwarf's conscientiousness he minds his safety lines whenever he's on deck (which is often) and rides it out. Once the weather clears and the summons comes he 'freshens up' and attends.

Ederin has spent the last week quite bored...he had briefly considered to shut down the storm nearby the Company's ship, but at the end he decided against it. So he just spent his time consulting with the company experts on what is needed to build the docks.

He prepares for the meeting and joins his companions.

The Meeting

As everyone gathers in the admirals overly large meeting room...an air of excitment begins to abound as individuals notice the several large charts which have been covered that rest upon easiels. Refreshments are served and the group begins to settle down when the Admiral and his two aides enter. "Gentlmen I am so glad you could come" as the assembled captains take their seat the Admiral begins to circulate among the various people attending engaging them in polite conversation. Stopping behind one captain who has a rat like appeareace he continues "Today we will discuss our sailing stagety and the navigational charts will be given out reflecing our rally point and our ultimate destination" Turning from the man he takes a step away and says "First though we must attend to some houskeeping details" At which point he quickly turns..produces a dagger and thrusts is into the seated captains ear causing him to slump onto the table with blood pouring from the wond (think the scene from the untouchables with the baseball bat)..

Alvar

Alvar first makes sure that no one stands ready with a dagger at his side. Assuming there is no immediate threat to his person he fixes his gaze on the Admiral clearly demanding an explanation with his eyes.

Ederin rolls his eyes, instantly thinking "Allright, already some traitors". The atypical priest has no patience for such nonsense, so he just waves his hands and casts something. Suddenly, a servant who was retreating in his direction clashes against an invisible barrier. Otherwise, he just glares around hawkishly.

ooc: casting antilife shell, initiative 11 and spot check 22 to see whether anyone behaves suspiciously

Alton Kanri

Alton spends the storm with his people and flocks, keeping them all calm.

Gathering in response to the Admiral's call, Alton is slightly flustered at the killing of the captain, but quickly turns to survey the response of the assembled group.

Marc looks around the room for threats but does not move, so as not to invite an attack.

OOC: Which ship did the dead captain command? What does Alton know about him or his ship?

Pandak

Pandak scans the room, gauging the reactions of the others present to the shocking death of the captain.

Randal Lucius Stormweaver

Randal jumps at sudden death, but quickly composes himself. As admiral is tested just as they were he assumes him acting in colony interest..

"But even if that was a traitor, such death is meaningless and useless. We should have interrogated the man. Hopefuly we get the explanations soon."

Seraphina quickly checks if somebody is directly threatening her or Randal and puts calming hand on his arm.
Her eyes dart from one to another present observing their reactions.

Non plussed the admiral says "Yes indeed a traitor and best dealt with directly and finally"....but i do hope his death proved a point..."we can not be lax and assume things will go our way"
