The Four Lands - The Colony

[Lou]

Alton Kanri

As the group leaves the room, Alton will wait for the Admiral to leave first, watching carefully, before continuing on his way. Alton immediately meets up with his man Marc to discuss preparation plans for an early arrival, sending Marc to warn his fowl farmers.

[sblock=for JA only]
Alton will next seek out Major Paxton Breckenridge for a lesson on how the party and others are likely to safely make landfall if the fleet arrives early.

OOC: Do you want to role-play this? Alton has others to visit after Breckenridge, namely Sister Mary Callan and Monsignor Xavier Hollander.

[sblock]we can do it as we go[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Alvar

Once the meeting breaks up, Alvar makes the rounds of his people to make sure they will have everything they need for landfall. He does not reveal that the timetable has changed, but instead asks them to plan on a landing drill to help anticipate any problems that might arise.

Alton Kanri

Before he leaves, Alton asks Ederin, "Are we still going to advance scout before arrival, or are we now waiting for His Grace's gift to simply get us there ahead of schedule?"

[sblock=for JA only]
Once away from the others, Alton asks a nearby ship officer for the ship that Major Paxton Breckenridge is on. Thanking the officer, Alton finds his way to that ship and requests a meeting with Major Breckenridge.

Decisions

The party returns to their boats to make their respective preparations. The fleet is visibly less scattered and a solid wall of ships can be seen on the horizon..

Louis
[sblock]you are given directons to a large galleon that is carrying most of the land troops[/sblock]

[sblock=for JA only]
Alton finds his way to the large galleon that is carrying most of the land troops and requests a meeting with Major Breckenridge. "Major, with your extensive experience, what sort of military resistance should we expect upon arrival? How would you recommend protecting the colonists who are unable to protect themselves?"

[Neurotic]

Randal makes rounds, contacting powerful casters.

"Is there a possibility to scry on the lands from afar? Based on the map? And would you consider casting divination asking questions based on "What can we expect upon landing?".

Also, he asks druid would he prepare commune with nature to get reading of the land and see upon landing ashore.

Other then that he returns to his boat, informs Seraphina about this new development and organizes his people readying them for landing.

Alton
[sblock]An appointment with the Major is easily secured and his question is answered. "Right now we are in the fog so to speak we know nothing of the place...if it is simply the D;shai then we will use standard tatics to deal with them..they tend to be easily managed with heavy horse as long as they dont have any dam elephants. As for the colonist we will only fight them from prepared defensive postions...[/sblock]

Randall
[sblock]there is no way to scry the land that they know if it is magically protected somehow[/sblock]

The party disperses to their ships on many errands. Soon the day is gone and night has come. The sound of massed voices overwhelms the sounds of the sea as the ships sail in a very tight formation. The light given off by the many ship's laters blot out the stars as well.

The night passess unevetfully as does the next day. As dusk settles in a sealed missive is given to each of the party. the missive reads "Tonight" and is signed by the Admiral.


Actions before we arrive?

 

[Nightbreeze]

Ederin nods to Alton and replies: Not unless we are already within 450 km to destination, which is not the case. However, we can keep ready and head out flying at high speed towards the land as soon as the travel via "gift" finishes. Are you in?

Ederin sends out news to the people he has hired for the company, that they will be arriving in two days. He tells them to prepare for a quick dissembark, and to make plan for jump-starting the activities. Also, he says that all the scouts who have trained with smoke bottles should be ready to act, because they will have to secure the perimeter.

ooc: can someone give me a link to the characters' gallery? I need to prepare the spell list.
