GM:
After a while the children begin to run about the boat, causing mischief, petting familiars and getting in the way. There are four in all, three boys and a girl varying in age from about 7 to 12 years in age. Two of the boys seem especially enamoured with Kobal, whilst the girl goes and sits next to Amara, smiling shyly.
Kobal looks at the boys sternly, before giving them a brief smile, and tousling the taller boy's hair.
At the same time, he sends a command to his Manul kitten. "
Haaro, make your way towards the front of the boat. When the fighting starts, I'd rather those thugs can't get their hands on you."
quote:
Handsome Desi whispers to Kobal and whomever else is close "You got a plan then?"
No one who is not a Ranger is close enough to hear, though one of the scribes looks up with interest. He and his companion, keeping their packs close to hand, sit with their backs to the boat's rail, talking quietly to themselves and then occasionally to the three Black Eel women. The men look hardy and at ease on the boat, probably well used to living on the far reaches of their empire.
"
I told you before: shut your mouth," Kobal raises his voice. He kicks the chained man for good measure, tries to aim for a fleshy part of his thigh, to minimise any real pain.
He starts to walk slowly up and down the sides of the boat, as if on sentry duty for potential threats, but sees
Ohanzee talking to the wizard, and decides to wait before moving towards the thugs.
