[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6196869, member: 79141"] [b]Session 90d - A Bear in Bosum Strand[/b] I'm including this for completeness' sake, because I wrote it up for the players, but can't take any credit for it whatsoever, as it is pretty much verbatim from the published adventure: Meanwhile, on the other side of town, down at the docks in Bosum Strand to be precise, Unit B had been assigned a prestigious but somewhat humdrum escort duty, guarding Brakken of Heffinata, the mediator for the forthcoming Peace Talks. They had already been waiting a couple of hours for their charge to arrive. Now his ship the [I]Fuego Duradero [/I]was finally in, a surly lizardman bosun had hissed at them that would need to wait a while longer. To make matters worse, it was raining, and their new leader, Professor Ludo Marcione, had not elected to join them. Nor could the team shake the feeling that they were being watched. A goblin crewman from the Beran ship argued with a docker, and succeeded in gaining control of dockside crane. This was hooked up to a crate so heavy that it caused the cables to strain under the load as it was hoisted upward. At last, the cables snapped, dropped the crate onto the stone dock. It broke on impact and the contents clawed their way out: an enormous dire bear. Dockers ran for cover and the movement startled the creature, causing it to rear up on its hind legs. The officers remained calm, as the crew of the [I]Fuego Duradero [/I]did not appear to be concerned. Booming footsteps on the gangplank presaged the arrival of Brakken of Heffinata – a minotaur in Beran robes with brightly coloured stitching. Short for a minotaur, but enormous compared to everyone else except the bear. “Feroz!” he called out to the creature and it turned and plodded to his side. Professor Marcione showed up at that very minute, greeting the ambassador on behalf of the RHC – for all the world as if he had been stood on the docks all that time. In a rumbling but low and soothing voice, Brakken thanked the officers, and warned them that his task in Flint would require more legwork than they might otherwise have expected: Brakken was not content to ensconce himself in the Hotel Aurum – he wanted to see Flint and understand its people.
