Warriors Of The Coast

[stonegod]

Ari nods at the Watchman's orders, making sure all his weapons are in place. He then motions for Taviss and Nelson to come down. Making sure Jango is at least able to move, he states, "We better get going then. They'll be coming for us, it be best if we can travel a bit surpititiously. Jango, you think you can get us back that way?"

 

[Velmont]

Jango looks at his burns and wounds... they have all dissapeared. "Thanks." His mind was analyzing that phenomena... he was wondering if he couldn't duplicate such effect with his own power, but his study let him think he would never be able to do such things. "I can show you. If you have at least a dagger, or more favorably, a sword and a bow, I would be in a better situation to help you."

 

[drothgery]

OOC: Jango has had prior experience with Khalia's healing spells; he and his sister have accompanied her excavation trips before, and she's patched them up after a few scrapes. He's one of the few people in Seawell who knew she had such capabilities before the start of the adventure (the others being the elder Silversuns, Jina, Zan, and Mother Tharavar of the local shrine to the Flame).

 

[Brogarn]

Boy seems on the up and up. That's good news. Hate to be the one to break it to the old man that we're throwing his boy in the clink. Skarg shudders a bit thinking of how that would go.

If surreptitious is what you're after, they've sent the right person. It happens to be a specialty of mine. Skarg says with a grin which fades as a couple of eyebrows raise. Ahem. My apologies. I mean Skarg sneak good. Smash good too. Hate to break everyone's preconceptions on Half Orcs. he says with a bit of a sneer. I'll just be over here. Let me know when you're ready. with that, he walks off a few feet towards the direction that Jango came from and looks down the beach.

Spot check +5. Skarg's trying to see if anyone's coming from the direction Jango came from.

 

[stonegod]

Keeping an eye on the half-orc, Ari draws his old longsword and hands it to Jango. "Keep it and yourself in one piece; wouldn't want to break the news to your father that his son wasn't fine afterall." Seeing the Watchman begin to move to the trees, Ari calls just loud enough for him to hear, "Wait for Taviss. He's got enough backwoods stealth to match. It'd be a good idea to keep two pairs of eyes out."

 

[Ringmereth]

On cue, Taviss pads down the stairs slowly, leaving Nelson to keep watch if he desires. Nearly growling, he speaks to the others as he walks out the door, stopping for nothing. "Alive if w' can? We take careuhv'em. Fer' good." Bow in hand, he heads for the trail. With a glance to the half-orc, he starts searching. "Le's hunt."

 

[Brogarn]

Skarg nods once at the ranger then steps in behind and off to his right a bit, keeping Taviss in sight.

Down to business. he thinks as he concentrates on the task at hand.

Taviss & DM:

[SBLOCK]I'm not sure how fast Taviss is moving, but will be following him with a bit of space in between so we're not bunched up. I'm guessing 8 feet off, but I'm not sure if the trees will get in the way. Once Taviss starts trying to move silently, I'll follow suit. Unless he's doing that now, then I'll do the same.[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

"Thanks" Jango takes Ari's sword. "I am brave but not a fool. My spells will allow me to stay behind you... but I would rather be able to defend myself if someone can reach me." He join up Taviss. "It's that way." the elf tells, pointing the beach where it turn and the footstep the elf left dissapear behind some trees.

 

[James Heard]

"S'now we're dead certain on getting er'selves killed too?" Nelson asked, rubbing his jaw thoughtfully as he walked down the stairs.

"That seems brave n'dumb, plumb..." he frowned.

"Cuz', really, jus' because I've only seen the one...If it's jus' the one then he's pretty much going to kill the rest of us without breaking a sweat after his warmup," Nelson waved his hand expansively, " here."

"An," he continued, "if'n there's more n'one then we haven't seen 'em and without a count or a lay then we're gonna end up moppin' the lighthouse rattlin' chains alike spooks too..."

Nelson stopped rubbing his jaw and his frown became more severe as his hands dropped down to his sides and he looked each of his companions.

"No offense, I know everyone's in a great hurry to kill an' be killed 'round here. But maybe I should go talk w'these folks first an' find out a little more 'bout 'em? If I screw up then everyone gets t'continue on with the killin' an we're no worse off'n before; an' if I fixem up rit n'we find out what they're here for 'sides murderin' people - which I might remind you all doesn't seem like a particular good way to make coin anymore'n sinking ships does unless you're a lot more gill'n pirate's are like to be."

"In other words, it still smells fishy, and sometimes you catch more fish by casting out some bait and seeing how the fish react than jus' spearin' the first whiskers that wiggle in the muck."

 

[Brogarn]

Luttins... do they drop their kids on their heads as part of some ritual of birth? Skarg thinks and lets out a heavy sigh.

Yes. Fantastic plan. You go make nice with folks who are intentionally running ships aground and most likely killing entire families. Maybe they'll have tea! Let us know how that goes. he says with a sneer.

I've been given my orders and that's to go hunt the bastards down. I'm not saying we should run in, arrows flying and swinging around our swords like giant phallic symbols, but we certainly shouldn't make polite conversation and ask them if they take milk with their tea. Noone with good intent does what they've done. We should scout them out, find out their weaknesses, and take them down. That's the way I see things, anyways.

His eyes pass over those gathered.

You folks let me know what you think is the better plan. Make it quick, though. I don't think dawdling will help our cause.

If these folks aren't up to what needs to be done, I know some of the boys will gladly come help. They may not like me much, but I certainly think they like child killers even less. Skarg lets out a slight snort as he thinks Well, at least I'd hope so.
