Arthanos is very surprised by the arrival of the Nereid. While he is appreciative of her appearance, having yet another strong sign of Poseidon's presence and favour show up made him very nervous.

After sitting for a few minutes listening, he decides to go visit the boat and deliver the warning.

"I don't wish to seem rude to our new guest, but I must excuse myself ma'am, it was a pleasure to meet you." he says politly to the Nereid, the looks at Aleta and Eurenomes "I'll go make sure the captain and crew on the boat are updated and will meet you back here later." He says and quickly matches actions to words.

As he leaves he decides on the way back it might be a good thing for his nerves to go back via the temple district and visit his own patron's temple.

 The evening wind, had the fragrance of jasmine and salt from the sea. It was a soothing balm, to the troubled soul,that was Lysandros. He had been upon this island for a fortnight, seeking  the sign that the oracle in the Temple of Athena,had told him would reveal itself,and point him toward his heart's desire. So far, all he had seen was goats, fishermen, more goats,and a few birds. This night, he was sitting on the beach,a jug of wine in one hand and a stone, in the other. He skipped the stone out into the incoming surf.

Aleta looks at Arthanos "I guess the rest of us will wait here. Come back soon and let us know what the Captain thinks. " she looks at Doria "Nothing against the sea but I have not been on it much. So I trust what the sea people think. "

Doria looks at her ,"I can show you my world for a time and I'd love to show you, my magic can allow it, to travel and move as I do. When I can spare magic and time for that. And how many here are performers we could perhaps work together as a troupe to make more money when on land just having me along should increase our fee I would think?"

 The door opened to admit a young looking man. He wore a tunic and sandals,with a dagger upon the wide leather belt at his waist. He was fair to behold,with Hazel eyes and dark long hair.  Seeing strangers, that where seated in the Common room, Lysandros nodded to them. " Fair travels, to you  Good Sirs and Ladies." The Noble  waited for a repsonse, before he might approach the group.

She looks at Doria shocked "Oh, I would love to do that" she says in a low voice. She can't believe she would be able to do that.

She sees the new man "Oh, greetings. Are you new to town?" the group was definitely not locals.

 The  newcomer smiled,then advanced towards the group. " In truth, I have been on this island a for man days. I am in search of something,and it has yet to reveal itself to me." Lysandros made a motion to an empty chair at their table.

"Join us for some wine friend," Eurenomes said, gesturing to the chair and extending a hand in greeting. "Eurenomes of Agros, priest of swift thinking Hermes. We are, or were, bound for my homeland but we seem stuck in these parts for the next few days."

"My homeland is over there just have to set foot in the Ocean, your homes might be impressive in size or grandeur but it pales to mine.," Doria said with a smile knowing her homeland IS the largest in the world and truly magnificent and she feels lucky.

 The  well spoken man nodded. " My thanks, I am honored to share wine with you all. " Said in his obvious, well educated words.  He sat down, and introduced himself. " I am Lysandros of Thena. So, what brings you all, to this Island?" He asked of them.

As it had turned out, Dysis had left the inn (following on the heels of many townspeople after Orion) all shortly after Doria had arrived. It also happened that Arthanos had also left the inn and company before Lysandros arrived and had introduced himself to the group as well.

---

It was not hard to track Orion. Indeed, the large warrior could be seen standing head and shoulder taller then a majority of the townspeople that had followed him out of the inn as he headed towards the guards' barracks outside of the city hall.

As Dysis followed she saw that many of the townspeople had begun to disperse. Many to the temple district, while others choose to go shut themselves into their homes and wait out what looked to be the inevitable investigation.

By the time Dysis had caught up, Orion was banging on the barracks' doors as some of the other citizens watch. "Come on, open up you cowards!" he demands. "You have failed your oath to protect the citizens of this village, and I shall speak with the Captain of the Guard!" There is no response to his pounding though.

---

Arthanos finds himself amongst a crowed of other worried townspeople who are now flooding into the temple district. Many, obviously, go to the temple of Poseidon, but there are others who go to Apollo's temple, Hera's, and Athena's just as Arthanos heads.

As he heads into Athena's temple Arthanos finds the priest there already addressing the townspeople "Calm good people, calm." The priest calls out. "I have heard the news as well..." he continues to call out trying to calm the crowd who seek the wisdom of the priest and indeed, of Pallas Athena herself. As Arthanos looks around he sees a familiar face, that of the old man Mentor, who had bright gray eyes and spoke with at the temple of Athena when the party was in Thena some time ago. The old man watches the display with interest.

She looks at Lysandros "Oh, I am Aleta, an entertainer. Our ship had to put into port, so we are here. What was your quest here? Maybe we could help"

 The Young Noble, took a seat on a stool,at the crowed table. He accepted a cup of wine,and sipped it slowly. When the comely woman asked why he tarried on this island, Lysandros did not reply at first. He seemed to consider the question,then answered. " I am not even sure myself. I was told by an Oracle to come to this place,and I would find the path, to my hearts desire. So far, the path has eluded me." He took another sip of wine.

"I lived out there, about a quarter a day and nights a Nereids swimming speed full pacing so am local as far as Nereids consider such things.," Doria said sipping some more wine.

"I was curious about dry land dwellers.," she added.

"Not a good sign, I think," offered Dysis, from off to one side.

"For one of two reasons. And, if either are true, it makes this even more serious."

She looks at Doria "I am curious about water people but I can't go down to meet you so I am glad you can come up here. So you can breath both air and water?"

"Yes, obviously, I'm not flopping on the ground gasping. Its easier than you trying to breath in water without magic.," Dori thought the question was kind of silly.

Arthanos' eyes widen then narrow at the sight of the old man. He carefully picked his way through the crowd towards Mentor, trying to make it look like he was simply getting a better position.

When he reached Mentor, he stops and stands next to the man for a minute listening to the speech before speaking.

"Well I am surprised to see you here. Did you enjoy your trip to the island?"

"Perhaps you should ask the gods?" Eurenomes suggested. The young priest looked thoughtful. "Does your family follow a divine patron?"

"Well Dori, I was just being funny. I suppose we will see what is going on here to see if there is an adventure. Can you leave the area or are you stuck to a certain area?"

 Lysandros slowly nodded. " I thank you for your counsel, Sir, but it was a servant of a God, that has lead me to this place. I offer homage to the Goddess Athena." He took another sip of wine.

"I can travel anywhere. well the Oceans and Seas are preferred by a Nereid but I have no boundaries. Exploring the world is why I'm not among my sisters I'll be of far more value with my powers stronger with experience.," Dori said with a smile.

"That's wonderful Doria. I would love to go down there at some point. Right now my favorite thing is just getting into a hot spring or hot tub" she says with a grin.

Eurenomes had fallen silent, lost in thought. "Lysandros, our comrades are bound for fair Argos. If you are on the look out for adventure and are pious and good with spear and shield perhaps you should like to accompany us? I warn you we expect difficulties on our adventure... in a way of speaking the gods are leading us too."

 The newcomer slowly rubbed his chin, in thought. "Argos, you say? Perhaps it was this group that the Oracle bespoke to me about. By the Gods, this is the first sign of good fortune,since I arrived on this island. I shall join your band." The man sounded very sure of himself,and just assumed he would be welcomed by the others.
