Fer some. he stands, still looking at the one that spoke threats to Kree. grabbing his mug, he turns and walks toward the serving girls and offers his mug for a refill, nodding to them and smiling.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

After the meal, Lysander rose nimbly, bristling with weapons, he made sure the motley crew noticed him.  They might talk loud to a monk, to their demise, but the sight of all that steel might give them pause.  Now, to the armory to see what toys he can add to his collection.

Riven took a seat at the table with a cup of caffe and a tart. She listened quietly to the conversations at hand while she took a bite from the warm tart. "Sounds like it's going to be an...interesting excursion..." she said softly, sipping from her caffe when she swallowed her bite.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Tyri sat, humming softly as she dished herself up some breakfast. “Do you really think they aren’t trustworthy?” she asked, looking to Krwyn and then to Ivy. What did they see that she did not? Yeah, they seemed a little angry but there had to be some detail that she missed...or was this just the general mistrusting given what had happened the prior night?

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

(( after the taking of The Shackled Maiden ))

  Nala    steps in from the  growing darkness,  some folk make  holy signs , as she  soundlessly make her way across   to reedrcik.

 ..Kree;'s Ship  captured  a Slaver's  frigate from Vestes .. he need s a   crew to bring it back as a price  for   Captain Gravin... My people get to  take the   Vestes Marines...

 Reedrick nods...he  calls  Dana over, , Tell Captain Wilkes  to   take   the slop  with  enough  crew  for  handle a Frigate ... he cam  Check with Kree when they get there..

 Dana    moves  quickly and his out the front  door.

 ..Kree wanted  me to report it to the Palace..

 aye?  we'll we're doin' it this way.. Gravin can bring the frigate in and  sell his   Brig or  have two ships to run?.. either way, Ironmound   won't  get thier hands on that frigate with out paying some heavy coin

 I must go.. we have Marines to transport to our lair..  reeadick   reaches into a chest and hands her  a purse  that jingled. take this, fer when ye need to buy somehting, rather then  eat the folks fer it..

 she smiled..  and   glides to the door   and was gone.

 Cala  haded   Reedrick an Ale and took a deep drink of one herself,that ever  may you  queasy?

 Reedrick  nods,every time, Lass. But, she saved Ivy, so i ain't sayin' nothin' bad, 'bout her.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

<<<<<< Luth from palace

 The   row boat took a god  hour  to go across  the    mighty Storm river.. skiffs  with   City watch  were   gliding up or  down  other shore. to make sure there wasn't  any thing  bad goignon....not that they always  caught it. In the morning the Orc cats would come, and the orcs  take what they found on the shores

 reaching the  landing area   of  small boats to the south of The Plank, music  from taverns  and even a few of the  merchant vessels   carried   through the  night  air, once they got on the  shore, Antok said,I will make my way to the   Gate Guards and borrow a horse..

he offered a Hand to Luthien,Fare you and  Princess  Dala, well...n turning to Dala,,,please don't  die, I have  no interest in finding out what the inside of a  Serpent looks like, while its  alive!

 She Gives  a very surprised  Antok, a hug..take care, Antok, and just tell Consort, 'it was time"..say those words..

Antok  awkwardly, returned the Hugged and Nodded,I will, Princess.... he  gives one last nod to  both walking up the nak  to the  streets  that would lead him to the  Gate Guard posts.

"Captain, the literal phrase over my dead body applies here. Leave it to me."

Then, Reedrick...ah, right. Friends in the Dark.

He heads towards Reedrick...

"...We'll need quick travel for 2, to Yad. I don't suppose our friends in the dark are around?"

 Reedrick  greets then  and offers them some food  and  drink...The Lads  made it there, is see...friends of the Dark.... Pricess? If it were not for the times you were here with The Captain, i would not send you.... Do You know the 'Friends in the Dark"

 Dala  reached  for a wine  and Nooded  without saying a word.

"I have not spent time with them...but I do recall they're undead."

Vampires, to be precise. Still, it's transport, they're not gonna ask him to take blood from innocents for whatever.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

 Reedrick  nodded  as  he  took a deep pull on a tankerd of dark ale.

 I Nest, one of the few outside  the ruins  or  even  in this  city. there was a  ambush   many years ago.  Ivy had a human woman who was....close...to him. when the  Arrows    reached  the  Ambush  folks, they found that  Vampire   had  ambushed them,  A young female  was   'newly turned'  Ivy had been mortally wounded. She  saved him, by giving of herself. That caused the Captain to spare the  nest. and that clan has  answered out calls. the price to pay, is  blood, of course. and  we turn over enemies to them with the only condition, they a bled to death, so we do not have to fight them again.

 The runner has been sent, it wil take a hour or two, but the representative will  arrive and  she will tell us what will come to past, if you still wish the  conveyance.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

  Reedrick grinned  as  Dala  ate a few  sweetmeats from the bowl, and sipped the wine.

  Kree  has  either  found favor  with the gods, or has  so much favor with The Sisters, that other gods do not dare tread in their  wa... There always seems  to be a bit of a Balance. The ebst example was those Vestes  Marines  the Captain allowed the nest to take. That was  a harvest for them  I wager to stay some are still be milked. Of course  none of the
  Officers, or  even the Emperor  will admit it...but when you have people  who  make  folks into slaves, its only right, you be put into a similar situation.


 Dala looked  uneasy,what would happen , if there was not a payment  ready..

  Reedrick  shrugs and holds his arms out,I'm sure  the Captain would  find  some form or payemnt..and i think the  Clan we deal with , would understand. It would be a miske  for them to start a war with us. over a late payment

 the door to the cellar opens...Fetcher pops out.she's here,  Commander...

  Reedrick     waves to the  kitchen , a woman hustles  out  with a  Tin mug that has wisps of  steam and  wrapped in a bar towel, they all  go doen the stairs..

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

"More likely, the Captain has found people in Yad that he can pay with."

Hmm...well, there's the transport...

Luthien sort of mentally steels himself for a ride that won't feel right to him at all...Light and Darkness have trouble co-existing for long.

"Nice to meet you..."

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

 Down int he  armory of  The Plank, there are tons of  weapons, swords, axes, daggers, arrows   cowboys , shields ect.

 a  woman's  figure   took the   warm tanker  and Gobbled it  down, the slurping  sound causes   Dala to take a step back..she dabbed her  mouth with the  towel and said  in a  cold  voice.what is it  Princess... dfo you not enjoy your wine?  the difference is..i must drink this, you can leave the wine , should you wish.

 the head  turns to Luthien, we will take the Arrow  tunnel, int comes out near Bow shot. three other of  my kind await us.. two  each to  take you Yad... we could get by with one, but it is faster with two

 Nala?  Do not  fail on this. The Captain need trusted folk with him...

  I will not  fail the Captain. To fail him, would be to Fail Ivy....Let us go, the night will not beours  forever..

 fethcer take them to the  south door of the  aromory and the   4 of them  get in a  cart Drawn by somne lizard like creature.. fetcher   taps it with a long still and the    wagon  bunps  and  trundles  down the long are  tunel..lit  every 500 yards or  so with a Wizard's Light  globe.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Luthien is military enough to accept what is necessary.

"Understood...let's go..."

This doesn't feel right at all...but he's able to bear it...

While he could add light of his own, his light wouldn't be comfortable to his transporters...light and darkness can't fellowship.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

   waht seemed like hours  was   abut 40 minutes, Two   youngr  men stope the  beast, they  Unhooked it and put it  in a rather large  cage that had  food  and  water, the food  was mostly  serpents .

  Nala waved them   along   and  Fetcher  just walked  back through he Tunnel to The Plank the hustle  down in the darkness towards the  river.

 almost as if living Shadow   stepped out of the trees  by the  Shore, Three male Vampire  stepped out..

 This one is a Holyman....

 He  is an Arrow, and we will aid them

There were guards   at Bowshot, on the walls, but they didn't seem to  worried  about the people   near the river.

 The  bigger  man says,let us get this done...they showed Luthien how to hold the shoulder Straps.. Nala  did thessame with  Dala. when they were ready,, the    flew throughthe  treess, and gained hieght as they crossed the  mile wide  river.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

In reply to Luth (msg # 813):

Luthien held his peace, mostly. Well...at least it was as quick as advertised.

"I'm not the only holy person on his current roster. He still has at least priestess."

Well, one thing, they could definitely fly longer than he could on his own.

He tries not to think too hard about the fact the lack of life in the being giving him a lift. It's one of the more difficult trials he's faced.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

  soon they were airborne   the  waters of the storm  on a  few  feet   below them, the  air  cold  and getting  colder   as they   flew  towards the Mountains

 they couldn't  talk  because of the distance and the wind, all they could do... scores of camp fires  lit scattered  around like  stars on the ground, Going over  Ironwood, they say a couple  bright spots where the biggest villages  sat.

 then they followed the   Furman's  chain seeing the lights of Yad.

 Landing in a copse  trees. Nala   said  quietly,There is a Den,  to the north of  this town, we will wait there for payment, He may signal, if the payment is too fresh for him to handle alone.. Fare thee well... all  foure    rose into the darkness..

  Dala shivers,,,I...I do not like them at all...The Captain said,' any blade you hold in your  hand , is a good weapon.' she starts  walking for the road,let us find them, mayhaps we  can get  warm food.

"When next you and your kin have a self control contest, remind them of this flight and you will automatically win."

His own self control was thoroughly tested all flight long.

When Dala heads off to town he follows quickly. "I will deliver the message."
