The Four Lands - The Great North

Anniston, in full plate armor with a large icon of the light blazoned on the breastplate for all to see, steps up behind and to the right of Vadric, lending full support to the priest's words with his presence.

Finnian steps up to address the crowd trying to soothe any ruffled feathers the priest's threats might have stirred.

"People relax. The priest is right. This man's gifts do come from the light. We were together as the priest was examining Jaroth as to the origin of his gifts when the trouble aboard first stirred. He assisted in the discovery of some conspirators and was instrumental in helping the priests prevent one demonic summoning.
"When the storm intensified, threatening to founder the ship, he came on deck to deal with the weather while we had to confront another demon. If not for this man,"
pointing to Jaroth, " we would all be trying to learn to swim in heavily storm tossed seas.
"Now if you will excuse us and calm down, we need to consult with the Captain to see how we can discover who is threatening this voyage. Do not discuss things with each other. We will need your unbiased impressions of tonight's happenings when we question you. Please stand quietly, and wqe will get back to you shortly."

Bertrand

Content to let his smooth tongued companions handle this, Bertrand merely stands nearby looking quietly competent and watching the crowd to see who the trouble makers might be.

OCC: Do i feel like being naughty or nice....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Somewhat reassured by the commanding presence of Vadric and Anniston and the silver tounge of Finnian the crowd does somewhat cease it's grumblings and off comment to "burn the heretic". The Captain howerver seems striken by Vadric's tone and lashes out "YOU forget yourself sir, this is MY ship and you have no authority here sir. Any invesitgation will be conducted only with my consent.". From the tone and the captains speech it is apparant that he means no harm but that he may be perceving the comments as an unsurpation of his authority and command. Turning to his crew he annouces..."Secure the passangers and escourt any prisoners to the brig. I want this deck cleared in ten minutes". Then facing the party he announces "You may presnet the evidenc of your friends innonence to me in my statreoom in an hour" Then once again facing the crew he barks "Do as I say now or i will have flogged any passager or sailor who fails to obey my wishes..."

[sblock]It is apparent from the Captain's tone that the events have shaken him deeply and that his harsness and abruptness is in fact a way of dealing with the immediate problems while giving himself time to think things thru.[/sblock]

For those who care to sense motive and who roll above a 25
[sblock]The Captain appears to be frightened and is radiating a sense of guilt.[/sblock]

For those who are watching the crowd and care to roll a spot above 16

For those who are watching the crowd and care to roll a spot above 22
[sblock]The young man who has interested the party turns in response to the captains orders and goes below decks. As he turns the glint of ivoy and silver can be seen as he robe parts slightly. The item appears to be in the shape of a slende piece of ivory perhaps some 18 inches long.[/sblock]

For those watching the crowd and who care to roll a spot above 26
[sblock] As the crowd disperses there appears to be a greenish/red discoloration on the deck where several people were standing.[/sblock]
 




Bertrand

Giving the Captain a reassuring look, Bertrand waits until the others have dispersed then goes to quickly tell his people what is happening before going to meet with the Captain.

OCC: Read my last post and it was kinda unclear...if you roll the number stated or above then you have made the check. Sorry if there was any confusion.
