Chapter Five - A Trip to the Tar Pits

[Trogdor]

Berek speaks up as people talk of future plans. "I've been looking at the state of the militia here," he says. "And it's in a sorry state. There are a few solid fighters. But most of the rest are half-trained townsfolk. I'm gonna take some time and teach them how to really fight."

[Vardaen]

"Good, get the new weapons into their hands, that will help them build confidence too." Daerith sips his wine, and studies their options.

"I wouldn't be much use in politics. I did live in a forest away from people after all. I am a fantastic guide or could help train those men to fight." Grask turns to the silent priest, "are you okay? You haven't said a word since we left Lord M's hall."

[Chanur]

"Berek if you stay and teach this sorry lot, who is going to show me how its done or chop his way out of giant monsters?" Chanur smiles. "I think you are right Daerith I will take some muscle but make sure you keep some around you. I don't trust Lord Meravanchi. Avner has some honor but I don't know about him. " Pulling his hat off he holds it in his hand resting it against his legs he turns to Lavinia "What have The Jade Ravens been doing? I did not see them at the meeting."

[Vardaen]

Daerith replies to Chanur, "I'll be fine especially if Berek remains in town, they won't dare come after both us of. I worry for you, if Berek isn't there the dinosaurs on this isle will have to perhaps eat you alive instead of him, and you are a bit more palatable than this sour old dwarf." He winks at Berek.

Perhaps Grask you could go with Captian Chanur and lend your skills to his venture.

"Where ever I am needed." Grask says with a slight bow of his head. "I will do what I can to help."

The Half-Elf stands and introduces himself. "I am Wavedancer, a Sorcerer of the Sea and part of the crew aboard the Sea Wyvern. I specialize in making things burn and then quenching the fires with sea water."

He too reaches out his hand looking to secure friendship with the new members.

Turning to Chanur he says "while I may have a silver tongue when needed, politics and I do not go hand-in-hand. I would be just as likely to set the Lord ablaze as I would sway villagers to our side after the filth he spewed today. I would very much like to travel with you to the ship and see what remains of it. The sea and I have been parted for too long already" he concludes. "Besides", he says with a grin towards Berek, "who will be there to keep your pretty face safe if our resident angry dwarf is staying behind to play pat-a-cake with his best friend the elf?" Wavedancer winks as Berek before he sits down again and continues his drinking.

[Trogdor]

As the meeting breaks up, the Sea Wyverns talk of some of them sailing north to recover the Sea Wyvern. Lavinia hears this discussion and comes over.

"That's an excellent idea," she says. "Another ship will give us more options when the attack comes. We'll make sure you have enough people to fix your ship up and sail both ships back. But do hurry. We also need those people working on Farshore's defenses."

GM

So, it looks like the group is splitting up. Chanur, Wavedancer, and Grask going to recover the Sea Witch, Daerith, Fin (NPC), and Berek (NPC) staying in Farshore, and Priest MIA, so his character is just standing there.

Does that seem right?

[Vardaen]

OOC

Just me all alone? But it does seem about right to me

Daerith nods, "We need our ship back. Berek and Fin and I will remain in town, the others will go get our Wyvern and bring her home. You guys should see about taking some of the crew back too, leave as many villagers here as you can."

[Chanur]

OOC

Someone should stay to RP with Daerith.

Chanurn nods "Guess its Captain time again. Don't worry Lady Vanderboren we will recover The Wyvern and have her in ship shape in no time. Watch your flank Daerith. Anything else you need to fill us in on before we go Lavinia?"
