During First Watch, Howard and Raelynn visit the prisoners in the hold. http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SearchingForAlexandria-IC#RaftPolitics
Second Watch .... Howard and Rae come up and Rae says you have another 5 minutes or so with the Zone of Truth
Thistle: Think we can wake that other guy in 5 minutes?
Thistle: He ain't protect by the spell so we should hear his side before that spell ends.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: goes down to speak with the captives.
Barrister Erlich: Hello
Barrister Erlich: A new elf, did you plan this ?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Plan what exactly?
Zayden: What's Akilah doing?
Barrister Erlich: Bring in young female elves to try to get me to talk
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: About what?
Barrister Erlich: You tell me, I woke up here in the dark
Thistle: ignores him and goes to try to wake the other guy
Human, Bleary eyes: Ahhhhheererere
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: You were dying on a raft. Better here than there.
Thistle: You awake? You better talk quick and tell us your side of it all.
Human, Bleary eyes: My
Zayden: Are these our prisoners?
Human, Bleary eyes: OUCH light
Human, Bleary eyes: Prisoner! What the hell!
Thistle: Close your eyes then, nitwit. How'd you get here?
Thistle: Er, sorry.
Thistle: On the raft?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Let us start with why you were floating half dead on a raft to begin with.
Barrister Erlich: You do understand you do not need to talk to them
Zayden: Oh these are the raft guys!
Thistle: Eh, probably smarter for you to talk to us than the guy ya put in chains.
Zayden: She makes a good point Barrister
Barrister Erlich: Would you like me to represent you ?
Thistle: Hey Zayden. You got that sugary voice people like to hear, ya? Wanna see if you can use it to get this one to shut it and this one to talk?
Zayden: Sure Thistle anything to make you happy
Zayden: which one is which?
Thistle: This one to talk
Thistle: points to bleary eyes
Thistle: And this one to shut it for a minute
Thistle: points to Barrister
Zayden: Thank you Thistle, that is very helpful
Arkady Bulygin: If you can ... wait do I want you to represent me if I chained you up?
Zayden: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 16]
Arkady Bulygin: What does that mean
Zayden: The one to talk please
Zayden: Whispers to Thistle: Which do I want?
Zayden: Arkady please!
Zayden: So like, what were you guys doing on that raft you know? Kinda weird if you think about Arkady...
Arkady Bulygin: I was there to try to sell these two scum bags
Arkady Bulygin: Where is the other one
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: The other did not make it.
Arkady Bulygin: Orion needs to be punished just as much
Arkady Bulygin: OH
Arkady Bulygin: oh
Arkady Bulygin: Thinking
Arkady Bulygin: Oh
Arkady Bulygin: Good
Arkady Bulygin: He deserved it
Arkady Bulygin: what he got
Zayden: Well you know Arkady, just because someone sold you doesn't make it ok for you to sell someone, you just take that on yourself you know
Zayden: I suggest you just let that go you know
Zayden: The best revenge is to live well
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I still am not quite understanding how this is all possible and legal, but one issue at a time.
Thistle: Why are you sellin' them?
Arkady Bulygin: I was taking them
Barrister Erlich: Sigh, you were lawfully entered into your contract
Thistle: I mean Rae made it sound like you kidnapped some political official and that usually doesn't go over well.
Barrister Erlich: You did not fulfill your side
Arkady Bulygin: HOW could I?!!
Thistle: Did he willingly enter it...?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: What did this contract entail?
Arkady Bulygin: He (points to Erlich) needs to be punished for his part of this
Arkady Bulygin: I had a good business
Zayden: what kind of punishment?
Thistle: wishes she had popcorn
Barrister Erlich: It is true that Arkady the Tanner had a nice business for several years, he looked to build more and he had someone who was willing to choose to go in with him
Barrister Erlich: In two years his new partner would own 50% of the profits
Zayden: oh that's nice
Barrister Erlich: I executed a good deal for both
Thistle: Right right but HOW did you get on a raft?
Arkady Bulygin: How was I to know that the King would die!!
Thistle: Sorry, sorry. You two continue.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Can we speak of this story with all the details instead of skipping ahead to the end? You are making the nonsense.
Barrister Erlich: If I can ask what is your name young lady?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Which young lady?
Barrister Erlich: Very nicely done
Barrister Erlich: If you could each introduce your selves that would suffice
Zayden: I'm not a young lady!
Thistle: snickers
Zayden: But my name is Zayden
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: looks confused at the barrister, feeling like she is talking to a script rather than a person.
Thistle: We could, sure, or we could wait for the rest of the story.
Barrister Erlich: I can delay also, your Elven Priestess earlier tried to cast a Truth spell
Barrister Erlich: I told her that Barristers are immune to truth
Barrister Erlich: Shakes his shoulders
Barrister Erlich: and there we go now that is over
Zayden: Barristers are immune to truth? What does that mean?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: You are the barrister? It sounds as though you insult yourself.
Thistle: Darn. Well, you two can handle this now.
Barrister Erlich: It means that I am a Barrister of Loosend, I am used to Priests and Priestesses attempting to use magic to override logic
Thistle: Truth ain't logical?
Barrister Erlich: Not always
Barrister Erlich: You are a gypsy woman,
Barrister Erlich: Your truth of traveling the world is not logical to most
Thistle: We talking truth or we talking philosophy? Because truth of HOW you got on a raft is, well, pretty straightforward.
Barrister Erlich: I can say that I do not know how I got on the raft
Thistle: And ya bummed up and delayed so that guy couldn't tell us.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Clearly you are a madman and it is a waste of our time to be speaking with you. Let us gag him and speak with the other one.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: ties a gag around the barrister's head
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: turns to the other person.
Barrister Erlich: AHmm Ahhmm
Thistle: Maybe ya'll luck out and third watch with have the patience for ya, Barrister.
Arkady Bulygin: Thank you
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Perhaps you will speak more coherently.
Arkady Bulygin: What can I tell you
Thistle: How'd ya end up on a raft??
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Please tell us what events led to you all on that raft.
Thistle: questioning why she has to keep repeating herself
Arkady Bulygin: I had a good tanning business, and I just got the idea that I could do more
Arkady Bulygin: So I agreed to a loan
Arkady Bulygin: then the King of Jarvis died, and I lost 80% of my supplies
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Why did the king have your supplies?
Arkady Bulygin: but he would not change the terms
Arkady Bulygin: The Kingdom of Jarvis would supply me with the hides, I would create the leather goods
Arkady Bulygin: two years in it was just not sustainable
Arkady Bulygin: but that bastard (points at the Barrister) would not let me change the terms of the deal
Arkady Bulygin: so I brought both of them onto the river to force them into agreeing that I would get out of the deal
Arkady Bulygin: Then I lost the poles
Arkady Bulygin: and we were drifting
Arkady Bulygin: and three days later
Arkady Bulygin: I passed out
Thistle: Who was the other guy?
Arkady Bulygin: then I woke to you being there
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Wait.... wait... wait.... The dead one is the king of Jarvis?
Arkady Bulygin: Orion was the person who put up the funds for the new tanning tanks
Zayden: Sorry guys I'm totally lost, hope that's ok, want me to play some music or anything?
Arkady Bulygin: and would not wait for me to find a way to replace things
Thistle: I'm kinda lost, too...
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It sounds as though this kingdom of Jarvis owes a debt to you. Can you not sell this debt to pay of your own?
Thistle: So Barrister guy wants to toss you in jail, right? What'd Orion wanna do to ya?
Arkady Bulygin: Orion wanted to take my trade from me
Arkady Bulygin: The Barrister was on his side
Thistle: To line his pockets?
Arkady Bulygin: I ah
Barrister Erlich: werhumm
Thistle: Well guess ya won't be too upset to hear he died, then?
Thistle: Well, I'm bored. You two can keep asking whatever. Maybe third watch can figure out what to do with them.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: What of this Jarvis Kingdom? Do they not owe you for supplies you paid for?
Zayden: 2nd Thistle!
Arkady Bulygin: Jarvis is,, well was.. the Kingdom to the west upstream from Loosend
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It does not exist anymore?
Arkady Bulygin: It exists I suppose
Arkady Bulygin: four years ago the King died
Thistle: That new prince take it?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Then so does it's debt to you, does it not?
Arkady Bulygin: and no one replaced him
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: wait. Four years ago?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: When did all this nonsense happen?
Arkady Bulygin: How was I to know that the Hobgoblins would still be such a force!!!!!
Arkady Bulygin: I thought that for sure the troubles would be over in two years, so I would get a steady supply again soon
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: So.... hobgoblins took over the kingdom?
Arkady Bulygin: Sort of
Zayden: So what do you want us to do about it?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: What does this 'sort of' mean?
Arkady Bulygin: I have no idea who is really in charge
Thistle: It depends on the day.
Arkady Bulygin: there is still the main encampment
Zayden: Ugh sounds like a mess
Arkady Bulygin: but there is not a lot of information coming downstream
Zayden: This is the problem with capitalism!
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: So if the hobgoblins are gone, so too are your troubles.
Arkady Bulygin: Well if you can go get rid of the hobgoblins that would make many people's lives better
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: How many hobgoblins are there?
Arkady Bulygin: BLINKS
Arkady Bulygin: I cannot imagine how many
Zayden: Are we able to get rid of the hobgoblins guys?
Barrister Erlich: weuyy wheronn eoo
Zayden: This seems like a complicated issues and I'm not sure we're equipped to adjudicate it? Or are we?
Thistle: Uhh guys? We ain't even near there or going that way, I don't think.
Zayden: So kinda feels like we a “we all got problems” type situation
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We have swords, we can adjudicate.
Thistle: Maybe sometime later if we get bored, but right now we need to know what to do with these two.
Barrister Erlich: woou whoo.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: This one belongs in asylum.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: points to the barrister
Barrister Erlich: mmmmmm
Zayden: Great points Akilah and Thistle!
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Perhaps I might perform lobotomy? Draining fluids may ease this man's madness.
Thistle: I mean, probably, but he's also a politician or something which means it might come back to bite us. And I'm done with politics.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: A barrister is not a politician.
Thistle: He's someone of some importance, though.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Is he?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: To whom?
Thistle: To Loosend, apparently.
Thistle: Don't get me wrong, he ain't winning me over, either, but you can't just perform lobotomies willy-nilly in these parts.
Arkady Bulygin: I can get a ransom for him
Zayden: So we just drop them off
Thistle: We can go sleep on it and see what third watch comes up with.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: This raft has been flowing down this river from loosend with no paddles or sails, faster than our boat with paddles and sails. What magic possesses this vessel?
Thistle: Craigh is from Loosend. He knows how it works better.
Thistle: Well... we were anchored and they were not...
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Also, why did you not paddle the raft ashore once you lost your paddles? This is a river, not the ocean. We can see the shore.
Thistle: I'm gonna go wake third watch. I need a bit more sleep after this nonsense.
Zayden: Me too Thistle
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Why would you simply lay on the raft for days to die of exposure and hunger?
Thistle: CRAISH! Er, I mean, Craigh! Go figure out this Loosend business!
Craigh: Eh, what Loosend business?
Thistle: fills him and the others on what they know before going to bed
Craigh: walks over with Thistle toward her bedroll.
Craigh: Thistle, one minute.
Thistle: Ya?
Lanek: grumbles
Craigh: I heard you're looking for someone in Loosend? Is there any way I can help? I know a few people there.
Thistle: Loosend? Nah, Rivers Bend. Where'd ya hear that?
Thistle: Wish it was somewhere you knew, though. Might make it easier.
Lanek: heavy sigh
Craigh: Oh, Rivers Bend. Of course. Well, I know a few people there too.
Lanek: ah hate third watch. I get just enough sleep to miss it
Lanek: fer some reason second watch works
Thistle: Do ya? I'll keep that in mind....
Thistle: Thanks, Craigh. And tell Yout to get his story straight next time.
Thistle: Good luck with the politics or whatever it is!
Craigh: nods.
Lanek: I still don't understand but I’ll wait til morning. brain still full of fog
Thistle: goes to bed
Lanek: looks around
Craigh: goes back over to the 'prisoners'.
Lanek: where did they put the raft? do you see it? is it tied behind?
Craigh: What do you think, Lanek?
Craigh: In the water, probably.
Zayden goes to bed
Lanek: I don't see it, maybe they let it drift
Lanek: then again this is some serious dark
Lanek: what I think? I think it stinks. it's got politics in it, so it's BS from the start
Zayden Feels confused about the previous events, and sleeps with a sense of uncertainty, but also warmth at the companionship of his watch partners. Zayden sleeps soundly
Craigh: Thieves are at least honest about their theft.
Lanek: hobgoblins sound interestin' but an unimaginable number does not sound good
Craigh: We obviously have different interests.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We do not need to kill all hobgoblins. From what I know of them, they are mercenaries. We need only take care of whoever pays them.
Lanek: hm that's a thought
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: One need only cut off the head to take care of the snake.
Lanek: how do you find out who's paying? spy on the comings and goings?
Craigh: Ask nicely, probably.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It would take some investigation for sure.
Lanek: is there any more of that crab on the fire?
Lanek: pokes around looking for something to eat
Lanek: sighs
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: At any rate, I still am fuzzy as to why we are on a boat going to wherever it is we are going. Taking care of a hobgoblin incursion sounds more interesting than aimless journeying. But that is just me. I bid you good night.
Lanek: waybread. well, okay, whatever
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: heads to bed
Lanek: gnite
Craigh: looks over the prisoners.
Craigh: So, broke merchant, captured banister, and dead king?
Lanek: I think a banister is the railing to some stairs
Lanek: I think that one's a lawyer
Lanek: Thistle was 'splainin' fast and sloppy so I don't really follow
Lanek: but it's got hobgoblins in it
Craigh: So long as they're not here, we're good.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds like the king died, which means the not lawyer couldn't get out of his loan, and the lawyer was trying to ruin him for it. Sounds about right for lawyers
Bixi Fizzlebang: I vote we toss the lawyer overboard and ask the other guy where we can drop him. Or maybe he wants to join us. Enough adventuring can recoup his losses, then he can go start his business back up or whatever
Craigh: That about sums it up, Bixi.
Craigh: I don't think Bran would approve us dumping a prisoner overboard though.
Talwin: I think when Bran is tired of nonsense, she might throw a person or a whole group overboard...but that's just me
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't mean just toss him. Like, drop him off somewhere away from us. On shore
Bixi Fizzlebang: I was exaggerating
Bixi Fizzlebang: For effect
Lanek: I dunno I like the throwing overboard
Lanek: but yeah, put some distance between them and us sounds like a good idea. we can't get all caught up in everybody's hairy situations
Craigh: Mmm.. I think we can keep them for a while. Might need to use a gag if they get too annoying though.
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: Fine with me. I have some cloth we can use
Bixi Fizzlebang: The hobgoblin thing seems like it might be something interesting. Maybe Talwin will want to practice murdering after he finishes his ninja sword training or whatever it is he's going for?
Talwin: We can keep them alive, but we don't have to make their stay a luxurious one
Bixi Fizzlebang: raises eyebrows at Talwin with her question
Talwin: Until that happy time, I'll log away the hobgoblin. I'm so tired
Talwin: One thing at a time
Talwin: And with our luck, they will come to us before I even get there
Bixi Fizzlebang: I guess we can't decide for sure until the group is all together. Anyone mind if I go down and try to talk to the non-lawyer?
Talwin: Sure
Craigh: You have my permission, Apprentice.
Talwin: But why the non lawyer?
Craigh: grins at her.
Bixi Fizzlebang: enters cargo hold
Bixi Fizzlebang: Because why would I want to talk to a lawyer?
Talwin: snorts
Talwin: fair enough
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello, which of you is not the lawyer?
Arkady Bulygin: New people?
Arkady Bulygin: Did they tell you how he is forcing me into servitude!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Look, we can talk, or you can sit here and rot and I'll have more food for my boar
Barrister Erlich: areoiur. iuupopp
Bixi Fizzlebang: Keep that one gagged for now please
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ungagged person, what is your name, and are you the lawyer?
Arkady Bulygin: I am Arkady Bluygin
Arkady Bulygin: I already told my story, I have a tanning operation
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, nice, I've heard good things about gin. Mr. Gin, where are you trying to go and why?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah yeah yeah, I heard all that
Bixi Fizzlebang: I want to know what your current plan is
Arkady Bulygin: I got him and the person who wanted to take over my business onto a raft so they would have to listen to me
Arkady Bulygin: now my plan is.... I do not know
Bixi Fizzlebang: How'd that work out for ya?
Arkady Bulygin: Well your friends told me Orion is dead
Arkady Bulygin: so that worked out well
Barrister Erlich: weruuaoo woos soo
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok
Bixi Fizzlebang: So supposing we didn't have you tied up down here
Bixi Fizzlebang: What would you want to do next?
Arkady Bulygin: Kill the barrister too
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, then after that
Arkady Bulygin: No witnesses
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ahhh, so you'd want to kill us all. Got it.
Arkady Bulygin: Oh
Arkady Bulygin: Well
Bixi Fizzlebang: I've heard enough
Arkady Bulygin: No
Bixi Fizzlebang: Have fun down here with the lawyer, I'm going to watch for more eels or something else
Arkady Bulygin: Maybe I need my barrister
Arkady Bulygin: can you ungag him ?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I can. Not going to.
Bixi Fizzlebang: You can try your luck with one of these fellows
Bixi Fizzlebang: motions to whoever else is down here
Arkady Bulygin: Looks around to Lanek, Talwin and Craigh
Arkady Bulygin: If you could let him talk
Arkady Bulygin: Maybe he can help
Craigh: is leaning against a mast.
Craigh: Nicely interrogated, Bixi.
Human, Bleary eyes: against a wall in the hold down below
Talwin: I think I heard enough too. As reigning knight, I hereby order you to be thrown overboard. Do you have anything you would like to say?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... Talwin
Arkady Bulygin: Wait wait, you mean throwing us overboard without the raft?
Talwin: Yes Bixi?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Don't you think the elves at least will get upset if you just toss them overboard?
Arkady Bulygin: Can you untie us? give us a place?
Craigh: is sitting by the hatch leading into the hold.
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: Let me ask the elves first
Talwin: I would hate to step on their toes
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: They will get over it
Bixi Fizzlebang: They get pretty sensitive about these things
Craigh: It can wait until morning. They're not going anywhere.
Talwin: Well. Apparently you are spared until I can wake the elves. Feel free to give the watch any useful information. My sentence is hereby ordered until I get confirmation. I would think about useful things to say. I've had a rough week
Arkady Bulygin: Wait Wait I want my Barrister!
Talwin: Give a lazy salute. “Bixi? They are all yours. I'd like your opinion too before I toss them overboard”
Craigh: He has.
Talwin: I want a million gold pieces, but we can't always get what we want now can we!
Talwin: But if you try sometimes, you get what you need!
Talwin: And right now, Bixi and elves are keeping you from being overboard

Raelynn: That should hold you all over for now. This early in the morning... I can't use all my spells healing you all.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Thanks Rae
Raelynn: Mhmm, please don't go trying to die on me again, okay?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I was only a third of the way dead, max
Craigh: Too close. Glad everyone's okay.
Raelynn: Bixi... you aren't that, um...
Lanek: I wasn' zackly tryin'
Raelynn: Well, okay. Optimism is good, I suppose.
Zayden: Thanks Rae!
Youtargim: Very well done Bixi
Youtargim: and everyone
Youtargim: Squeezes Rae
Talwin: I need a drink
Youtargim: I will be ok
Lanek: me too
Talwin: Sigh. Turns to Bixi
Raelynn: Licornah, do you mine giving Yout a quick look? He might need a little more healing.
Talwin: You okay?
Talwin: Yout
Youtargim: I think maybe Bixi can give us a drink?
Raelynn: smiles
Talwin: Bixi and Yout, why don't you relax downstairs and take breather
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm great! I love it when the food just comes to us like this. I might have to take up swimming and think about living on a boat
Talwin: gags
Youtargim: I will be good with you just staying nearby Rae
Talwin: shudder
Raelynn: (quietly to Yout) I think someone was a little more worried than he wants to let on.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh by the way, the non-lawyer said he wants to kill the lawyer and all the witnesses, which would be us so...
Raelynn: signs
Youtargim: Whispers to Rae (Yeah but you and I can handle things until we get where we are going)
Raelynn: I really need more sleep before dealing wi those two...
Youtargim: HUH Bixi
Bixi Fizzlebang: whistles while she goes to start cooking
Youtargim: that would be a hard pass on my part
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: He does not seem to think things through properly
Talwin: Wait, does that mean we are all in favor of tossing them overboard?
Youtargim: I say keep the lawyer, he will know how to justify anything
Talwin: Asks hopefully
Raelynn: NO
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: One is mad, the other is an idiot.
Talwin: Clearly let down
Talwin: Ah
Lanek: we should put them both ashore. on opposite banks
Raelynn: Oh good goddess, you all can't solve things by tossing them to sea.
Talwin: Sure I can. I can solve a lot of problems by tossing them into the sea!
Bixi Fizzlebang: yells up “I wouldn't mind tossing them, actually!”
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Especially when there is no sea.
Talwin: Outraged
Youtargim: River not Sea he says softly to Rae
Talwin: Sigh
Raelynn: If it's your sword, maybe, Talwin.
Talwin: Fine. I suppose we can drop them off at opposite sides
Talwin: Grumbles unintelligibly
Raelynn: (To Yout) Shhh! My point still stands
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Everyone yells at me for calling a ship a boat but no one can tell the difference between a river and sea
Talwin: Snorts a laugh
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: How dare she!?
Lanek: oh, I didn't realize that was a question
Raelynn: This floating vessel on a body of water. Whatever this all is!
Youtargim: I agree with you, drowning is not a good option softly to Rae
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Stupid fluffy elf
Lanek: if it all flows downhill one way, that's a river
Lanek: if it's vast and surges back and forth, it's a sea
Raelynn: Neither is bleeding to death. I suppose she's busy so here.
Raelynn casts an additional Orison spell to heal Youtargim.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Hey you guys got some awesome prey. Chill out for awhile. I mean, they almost ate Bixi! That's awesome prey. Not that they almost ate her,....but you know what I mean!
Raelynn: Yes, yes water moves and is called different things depending where and how it moves.
Raelynn: EITHER WAY
Youtargim: (Warm smile thank you so much love ) to Rae
Raelynn: We're not tossing them overboard.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: It does not make the elf less stupid
Raelynn: raises a brow
Youtargim: Yes Rae is right we cannot toss them overboard
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: But as far as the prisoners go, neither seems to have much wits about them.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Keeping a known enemy around is not smart
Craigh: Are we under any obligation to keep them though?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We should drop them off at separate ports.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): At this point, you are becoming a known enemy. Lay off or you'll join the frogs. You are welcome to leave any time you want
Youtargim: I think we should make sure they have no way of attacking or harming us, then decide where is a safe place to leave them
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: so they do not kill one another.
Raelynn: If you're using my title, I'm still a Suitor, not a Lover, but I rarely use it for obvious reasons. And if you're not trying to use my title, well, don't go too fast there, sir.
Youtargim: When Indigo wakes up he might know?
Craigh: Well, as was said, there are river banks available too. Or we can take them to the next port.
Craigh: Oh, or we can make them row.
Raelynn: Different ports is the first sensible solution I have heard so far.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: They clearly do not have the survival instinct to survive in the wild. Leaving them on the banks is the same as tossing them in the water.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: First of all, that's nonsense. I can't move on my own, I am a sword. Second of all, I am only looking out for you. The prisoner said it wanted to kill you. AND YOU ALSO WANT TO TOSS THEM OVERBOARD WHY ARE YOU MAKING *ME* SOUND LIKE THE BAD GUY HERE?
Thistle: YES! They should row. I'm tired of rowing.
Youtargim: Softly to Rae, I apologize, it was an expression of gratitude and .... companionship, more but...
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: What idiot gets stuck on a raft for days, unable to paddle himself to the nearest bank?
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I think we are talking about different things. The prisoner is one thing, I thought you meant toss over my gang
Youtargim: We should move back into the channel
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Clearly they cannot take care of themselves.
Youtargim: and then as we are downstream can decide
Raelynn: Mhmm, just remember things are... different here. Wouldn't want misunderstandings, yes? Well, actually, you probably do...
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: I meant the prisoner. I'm not entirely against the other idea, but it was not what I was attempting to discuss
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: They will clearly die of exposure or starvation on their own.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yeah, I'm still in favor of that, but if the group want's them around I suppose I'll suffer.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Assuming they do not murder one another first.
Raelynn: We'll leave them in separate towns. They can survive in a town or find a way back to wherever they need to go.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: You always suffer for others, and never think of yourself
Youtargim: I do wish we had kept that raft
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Hey I got some nice things. I also got you, so it's not too bad
Raelynn: What would we do with it? It's just more cargo.
Youtargim: We could put one of them on it now
Raelynn: Which brings us back to that being no different than tossing them overboard.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: And do these nice “things” make you happy? Or does throwing enemies overboard make you happy?
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): ..........Both?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: No need to torture them. Stupidity is its own punishment.
Craigh: But it also punishes the people around them.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Hey I'm just saying. Collecting money is a great way to one day maybe “retire” into a full killing mercenary company you never know it could happen. Oh! Or maybe we'll get lucky and Bran will go to war! We'll have lots of fun then!
You do sail/row down stream for a while
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: I will try to be patient. For you.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Likewise....but now I need to figure out a politically correct way to start a war....(half joking)
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: If you get serious about it, I'm always there to help you, friend
as you are sailing along and encounter a ship in the river in front of you
weaving back and forth to block your path
flying a skull and crossbones
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): And that makes it all the more fun! Let me know if you see a fun way to kill stuff in a way that we don't get in trouble. I'm down to clown
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Mostly because I am trapped in an inanimate object
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Eh, Potato, Inanimate Object
