BOB 7 miles more than enough room

Rothuss Carder: Well, can we sail up to the side of it between the front and rear flippers? Does the edge of the shell come down to the water, or is it up in the air? What are the waves like in there?

BOB shell is fully in the water, so you would have to climb up somehow

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh i totally thought the shell was raised up a little

BOB THere is a huge hump up

BOB a couple hundred feet in the air

BOB This is an island

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh ok

'wyjyoon' disconnected

Vee Barlett: Matey, how ya feelin' to navigate to there?

Vee Barlett: I ain't gonna listen to dumb ideas by Rothuss, but Mel got the lore to interest me.

Rothuss Carder: So the underside of the shell is above the waterline, right? We'd have to find a way to climb up to the edge and drop a rope or something.

Rothuss Carder: Water better than wood

Inv Zora Polasis: Much

TMO (Rothuss Carder): do you want the climb rolls in the towerr, or here?

BOB So I will say that the disc fails once you start

Rothuss Carder: Well... crud.

BOB Or more appropriately Roth with the ropes keeps going up then the disc disapears and the two of them can make a dex check to grab the ropes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): anti-magic shield?

BOB The disc floats approximately 3 feet above the ground at all times and remains level. It floats along horizontally within its range of 20 yards

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ... grabbing the rope *before* I reach the top?

Rothuss Carder: AAAAACKKCK!!!!

BOB all three of you have a good firm grip on the ropes though so you are safe

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): good news

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is now holding on to the side of the shell supporting about 200 lbs off hanging women?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): roll to climb or just climb?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): *dangling

Vee Barlett: whistles while watching.

BOB Roth can pin the ropes to the shell

BOB But yes you need a graple now or just climb walls, so Zora and Roth can do that but Lirt is stuck

TMO (Rothuss Carder): does so! Immediately!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): once he reaches the top he can try to pull her up

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): can Lirt hold on to Zora's back while she climbs?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): hat eto leave her stuck

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): or if Rothuss can pull her up that is better

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Climb Walls [PERCENT:Climb Walls] (vs. Target 60) [SUCCESS by 54] [d100 = 6]

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): no she got pulled up

Inv Zora Polasis: I wonder where that net I saw came from

Rothuss Carder: tries to find a way to hook the rope up here so others can climb up if they want.

BOB There are trees, bushes, even some trails through the forest like top here

Rothuss Carder: wraps his end of the rope around a tree and holds it so folks can climb.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): no knots needed, but not permanent either

Carissa (Vee Barlett): knot only needed if you end up needing vee, but if you're attacked you can just swan dive into the water... maybe....

Rothuss Carder: See anything grand up here?

Inv Zora Polasis: I am Zora

Inv Zora Polasis: You look like you come from far away

Lirtimya: I am Lirtimya

Darfin Bharaclaiev: This is my home, it has always been my home

Inv Zora Polasis: We live on this island here but on the other side of it

Darfin Bharaclaiev: my great grandfather came here to Voltin

Carissa (Vee Barlett): from the legendary places these zaratan come from? not al quida but the non-terrorist fantasy land

Rothuss Carder: What do you call this island?

Inv Zora Polasis: Do you have a village here?

Rothuss Carder: ... island, shell, whatever.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): al-qadim I think

Darfin Bharaclaiev: Voltin is this island, the Zartan

Inv Zora Polasis: But you are not here all alone are you?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): where does he live when it goes underwater?? it just random appeared...

Darfin Bharaclaiev: We have a village a mile or two tail-ward

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): think it just came into our view - we've never been on this side of the island

Darfin Bharaclaiev: There are a few of us out hunting

Rothuss Carder: Well, we didn't expect to find inhabitants, so to be polite, are we trespassing, or do you welcome visitors?

Darfin Bharaclaiev: taking advantage of being near land

Darfin Bharaclaiev: We do not encourage visitors because of the danger of waking Voltin

Darfin Bharaclaiev: If he sleeps and drifts it is best for everyone

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...he isn't awake?

Rothuss Carder: What happens if he wakes up?

Rothuss Carder: Apparently he ate a fishing boat a few days ago.

Darfin Bharaclaiev: We felt a shudder but it disapated

Rothuss Carder: That's Mel's greatest dream, to be able to eat while sleeping.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Inv Zora Polasis: That would be wonderful. Thank you

Mi Gaskin: (female voice) YOU NEED TO SHUT UP NYAALSIR

Inv Zora Polasis: Hello?

Mi Gaskin: Steps out of the woods

Mi Gaskin: I am sorry he is a pig

Rothuss Carder: Wow, quite the crowd we've accumulated.

Mi Gaskin: One day we will eat him for it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lolvey cannibals

Rothuss Carder: Well, not on our account. We've already dealt with one group of attempted cannibals.

Mi Gaskin: Eh, we are not typically cannibals, but if push comes to shove, Nyaalsir is first on the chopping block

Rothuss Carder: Not 'typically' cannibals. I hope your larders are good right now...

Mi Gaskin: We caught a whale the other day

Inv Zora Polasis: From the top of this turtle?

Mi Gaskin: One good thing about living on the ocean lots of salt to keep things

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how do they drag it up?

Rothuss Carder: Excellent! Well done.

Mi Gaskin: If you go out on one of the fins

Mi Gaskin: you can throw a spear into fish, sharks, whales, what ever swims by

Rothuss Carder: That sounds incredibly dangerous. And fun.

Inv Zora Polasis: That is amazing

Mi Gaskin: Almost speared a mermaid a month or three ago

Mi Gaskin: Lucky I missed

Inv Zora Polasis: gasps

Carissa (Vee Barlett): gasp!

Rothuss Carder: Very lucky indeed.

Inv Zora Polasis: There are mermaids around here? Our Captain will be pleased to hear that

Mi Gaskin: OK Jenell! You can come out they are safe,

Jenell Hendrick: a young girl walks out with a squirming bag

Jenell Hendrick: I got two rats and one bird

Rothuss Carder: Well, like I said, we didn't expect to find inhabitants. Is there anything y'all would like to trade while we're here? I'm sure we'd like a souvenir of Voltin.

Jenell Hendrick: We could use.... looks at the others

TMO (Rothuss Carder): is still between them and Zora & Lirt. ;)

Mi Gaskin: We could use some metal, that is the hardest thing to find, only from taking it from sailors

Mi Gaskin: Swords? Daggers?

Rothuss Carder: Hmm.. I'm not sure if we have anything in bulk metal on the ship. Zora?

Inv Zora Polasis: I only have my one sword but I can give you two of my daggers

Rothuss Carder: Did we keep any of the weapons from the shark dudes?

Inv Zora Polasis: I can get more when we get home

Inv Zora Polasis: Oh I think there are weapons on the ship now that you mention it

Inv Zora Polasis: That we got from the caves

Rothuss Carder: chuckles to himself

Jenell Hendrick: Can I go?

Jenell Hendrick: Please

Darfin Bharaclaiev: No

Carissa (Vee Barlett): some ugly sharkmen tridents on the ship

Rothuss Carder: I mean, we've got a ridiculously heavy stone statue that would probably look great up here.

Nyaalsir Stillhawk: Yes

Mi Gaskin: No

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we gave that statue away to the church

Inv Zora Polasis: We don't have the statue ..

TMO (Rothuss Carder): dammit, spoil all my fun

Rothuss Carder: But this would have been the *perfect* place to hide it!

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): that would be funny

Inv Zora Polasis: True

Rothuss Carder: Ah well... no statue.

Inv Zora Polasis: So I can climb down to the ship and see what we can do so you can stay up here Rothuss

Rothuss Carder: So, we have some tridents, not sure how many. What've you got in trade for it?

Inv Zora Polasis: I know you really wanted to be here

Mi Gaskin: Darfin can go with you

Rothuss Carder: Can Darfin swim?

Mi Gaskin: For what we have to give? not much that I can think of

Mi Gaskin: We make everything we need from the scraps we can harvest here

Inv Zora Polasis: We can give a few tridents as good will. I mean how many does Vee need anyway

Carissa (Vee Barlett): all of them! ;)

Mi Gaskin: This is the closest we have been to land in a decade or more

Rothuss Carder: Wow. How long have your people been on here? And how come you aren't getting off while you have land?

Mi Gaskin: Why would we leave?

Rothuss Carder: Maybe you need some steering advice from our ghost pirate?

Rothuss Carder: "How Not To Run Into Mountain-sized Turtles."

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: Steerin' be fine but when SOMEONE ties them knots up tight it make it hard to change the sails with the wind.

Vee Barlett: Can't loosen a sail on time can toss ya off course. It ain't simple as just steerin'

Rothuss Carder: Well, you know it wasn't me. I don't touch the knots here unless I need to cut 'em.

Vee Barlett: 'Except when you be climbin' all over me rig.

Vee Barlett: Which be all the time.

Rothuss Carder: What else is it here for?

Temperance: settles atop the barrel and watches with amusement.

Vee Barlett: To sail, dimwit!

Rothuss Carder: Look, the ropes are here so you can get up to the top if you need to.

Rothuss Carder: I mean, you have more than you need, but you've got choices of which route to take, I guess.

Rothuss Carder: or if you need to get to the outer edge of a sail to trim it.

Rothuss Carder: Although, you keep sayig to trim the sails, but I've never once seen anyone go up with a knife or anything.

BOB You make it a couple of miles away

BOB so you can get straightened out

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think I knocked Carissa out with those

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): glimber is contemplating bats

BOB Up in the sky slowly flying

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): is it a bird or a dragon?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): when did we enter Sinbad's Adventures?

Vee Barlett: Wonder if it'll land on Voltan?

BOB Could be a good guess

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): like a roc

Vee Barlett: Glimbs.... yer a bit more edible so, uh, stay close to someone, yeah?

Glimber Silvernose: So they eat you too?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 17]

Vee Barlett: Big things generally eat small things.

Glimber Silvernose: and small things eat big things!

Temperance: He should be alright, he gave a good fight against those Sahuagin, didn't he?

Glimber Silvernose: Yup!

Vee Barlett: Might not notice us if we close to the turtle...

Glimber Silvernose: grins at Tempe

Temperance: grins back.

Vee Barlett: looks at Tempe who was almost shark food but doesn't say anything.

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Temperance: suddenly feels her arm twitching where she got bit, and furrows her brow questioningly.

Vee Barlett: We just gotta keep low. If Rothuss wakes, ya got my permission to knock him out again 'cause he always loud but easy to knock out.

Temperance: Um...

Temperance: looks at her priestly wrists.

Temperance: Sure.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes.... because Rothuss *often* wakes up early in the morning.....

Vee Barlett: Maybe gotta teach ya to right hook like Matey.

BOB I will say Temp can roll a d20 to see if she attracts any attention

Temperance: Sounds fun. Always great to learn new things.

Temperance: [d20 = 4]

wyjyoon (Temperance): uh oh

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe you want low this time!

BOB So as Temp is looking around

BOB watching out for this strange bird

BOB it swoops down lower and something..... PLOP onto the deck..... someone?

BOB With a gentle land, roll, and pop up to his feet

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss isn't cleaning that up....

Temperance: flinches a little in surprise.

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): the bird guy from the BBQ?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Hello young lady, BOWS

Temperance: Er... Hello.

Temperance: bows in return.

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): no this one talks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): tempe can talk too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL again

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Glimber Silvernose: I'm not a lady!

Vee Barlett: Just seein' the sights, yeah?

Temperance: We were curious and simply observing.

Vee Barlett: And what's a handsome, uh, man? Doin', er... on me deck?

Glimber Silvernose: I'm on watch!

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am a guardian

Temperance: Definitely a surprise landing.

Glimber Silvernose: You know that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LMAO

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: coughs

Ylyndar Nightwing: Yes a Watch, thank you young gnome

Glimber Silvernose: nods

Vee Barlett: Yar, I know ye are, Glimbs. I was wonderin' about Ylyndar here.

Vee Barlett: You a guardian of this Zaratan?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Not a guardian of the Zaratan, though we try to track them

Temperance: tries to take out her quill and parchment unnoticed.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I was on my way to a visit up top, (guestures to the tops of the mountains of Borinquen) when I spotted this magnificent ancient creature and came for a look

Ylyndar Nightwing: Then I saw you and

Glimber Silvernose: Who do you guard?

Ylyndar Nightwing: well you are as interesting

Vee Barlett: As are you.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am one of the sky pirates

Glimber Silvernose: I dunno if we're as interesting as a gigantic turtle

Vee Barlett: moon-eyes.

Vee Barlett: Sky Pirates? Go on.

Glimber Silvernose: pirate guardian?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Anyone who is near a Zartan like this

Ylyndar Nightwing: and is not harming or fleeing is interesting

Vee Barlett: Only met a Reach Guardian so far, but a sky pirate? Gonna make me swoon.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I will be glad to catch you

Ylyndar Nightwing: You know a good dunking in water helps that

Temperance: furrows her brows and writes "sky pirates"?? with question marks.

Vee Barlett: laughs

Glimber Silvernose: laughs

Vee Barlett: Yar not the only thing, but do be a thing.

Glimber Silvernose: Are you going to try and pirate us?

Vee Barlett: Ain't ever made to be in the water.

Vee Barlett: *mad

Ylyndar Nightwing: Do you have gems?

Vee Barlett: I am one.

Glimber Silvernose: ummm

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am always willing to steal gems

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry had to lol

Glimber Silvernose: if you try and steal from us we have to fight you

Vee Barlett: Hmm, yer a pirate who says what they like to steal?

Vee Barlett: Well he be stealin' my attention fer sure.

Glimber Silvernose: sighs

Glimber Silvernose: I don't have any gems

Temperance: muffles a laugh from behind as she observes.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I prefer not to fight

Vee Barlett: Last guardian, I traded fer his conch. Do you trade fer gems?

Ylyndar Nightwing: It is much better to tell you what I want

Ylyndar Nightwing: let you give it to me

Ylyndar Nightwing: and I fly away

Vee Barlett: Would be nice to be on the good side of other guardians

Ylyndar Nightwing: I could shake your ship a bit if you like

Glimber Silvernose: frowns

Ylyndar Nightwing: If that will help convince you

Vee Barlett: Nah. How 'bout I give ya an emerald and you give me a kiss?

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): wow

Ylyndar Nightwing: That will do

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she doesn't trade for nothing, but something about that leather I guess lmao

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): no nagging at Zora for giving old tridents away

TMO (Rothuss Carder): this from the lady who grumbled about giving away triidents?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and me never learning the value of things

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ehh he did threaten her ship

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: But no harmin' me ship, yeah?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): should make that clear....

Glimber Silvernose: I don't like you

Ylyndar Nightwing: I swear on Zardoril's wings I will only steal your gems

Temperance: Zardoril?

Vee Barlett: But ya already broke it by stealin' me attention and soon a kiss.

Glimber Silvernose: His bat probably

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 17]

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): knew that was coming

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): lol

Vee Barlett: too...uh...distracted to think who Zardoril is.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]

Ylyndar Nightwing: So about those lovely green emeralds

Vee Barlett: Wait here a second, I'll get yer gem.

Temperance: glances at Vee, notices that she's distracted, and thinks for herself.

Ylyndar Nightwing: How many am I stealing?

Vee Barlett: One.

Glimber Silvernose: You're not a guardian are you?

Vee Barlett: calls back as she heads to her cabin.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am a guardian

Glimber Silvernose: Guardians don't steal stuff

Ylyndar Nightwing: Sky Pirates do

Glimber Silvernose: Guardians are good and pirates are bad

Ylyndar Nightwing: Well I suppose Pirates do

Glimber Silvernose: can't be both

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am guarding the sea lanes, watching for those who would attack the air ships

Vee Barlett: comes back up.

Vee Barlett: comes back up.

Temperance: quietly scribbles down some more notes.

Glimber Silvernose: so a guard and not a guardian

Glimber Silvernose: there's a difference and even I know that

Ylyndar Nightwing: Very much a Guardian

Glimber Silvernose: You should stop pretending

Ylyndar Nightwing: Why do you think it is different?

Glimber Silvernose: Guardians are good and help people. Guards watch things

Glimber Silvernose: you watch things and steal things

'Carissa' disconnected

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am good I do help people, mostly other sky pirates

Glimber Silvernose: That's not a guardian

Glimber Silvernose: You're not helping us

Ylyndar Nightwing: You have gems, we need gems, I am a pirate

Glimber Silvernose: You magicked the captain into giving you stuff

Glimber Silvernose: You can't magick me

Glimber Silvernose: Besides I don't have any

Ylyndar Nightwing: I would never dream of it young gnome

Temperance: puts away her quill and quietly observes the situation.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Do you know how the sky ships work?

Glimber Silvernose: magic?

Temperance: Large wingspans?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Yes, the magic of the sky ships is fed by gemstones

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): pixie dust

'Carissa' connected

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am a guardian, if there is a sky ship in trouble I am there to save them, to help them

Glimber Silvernose: you still shouldn't steal them

Ylyndar Nightwing: So I need gems to do that

Ylyndar Nightwing: bows, Pirate

Glimber Silvernose: not guardian

Ylyndar Nightwing: Both

Glimber Silvernose: folds his arms in front of his chest

Ylyndar Nightwing: If some one is a guardian of these waters, and gives you the food you need to surive

Ylyndar Nightwing: Do you question where they got that food?

Glimber Silvernose: I don't think they stole it

Ylyndar Nightwing: You do not care how they got it if they are good and saving you

Temperance: I don't know. I tend to question a lot of things.

Vee Barlett: returns from her cabin but listens and doesn't interrupt yet.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Smiles and nods to Temp

Ylyndar Nightwing: What questions do you have for me young priestess

Temperance: Trade is often plentiful around these waters. Do people above trade often?

Temperance: Perhaps encouraging such things would help you attain your gems.

Temperance: And better diplomacy between people.

Ylyndar Nightwing: There is plenty of trade it is true

Ylyndar Nightwing: Both among the various sky ships

Ylyndar Nightwing: and sometimes between the sky ships and the ships of the sea

Ylyndar Nightwing: I lack trade goods to carry on Zardoril's back

Ylyndar Nightwing: Gems are small and light and very valuable to save people with

Ylyndar Nightwing: I would never trade them away for anything

Ylyndar Nightwing: a ship without gems cannot fly

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ahh so stealing them to stop ships from falling

Temperance: I see. Still, it will foster resentment from those you wish to take from.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I conceed your point, bows Pirate

Vee Barlett: You know the ship GRY? Red circle, yellow center?

Ylyndar Nightwing: A Sky ship?

Vee Barlett: Yar. Crashed. One ya didn't save.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I have heard of them, when did they crash?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Where?

Temperance: Back in those mountains, right?

Vee Barlett: Ain't sure. We came across it long past it bein' picked.

Vee Barlett: looks at Tempe to hush.

Temperance: Where we met Violet?

Temperance: Oh

Vee Barlett: Knowledge be pricey, too.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Nods solomly

Ylyndar Nightwing: I will have a look

Ylyndar Nightwing: and if not I will spread word of where they landed for the last time

Vee Barlett: But guess that was freely given.... so one emerald will have to be payment enough for ya as well.

Vee Barlett: Who were they?

wyjyoon (Temperance): whoops sorry

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Ylyndar Nightwing: The GRY

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol it was in characterfor tempe all good

Ylyndar Nightwing: I do not know the family personally

Ylyndar Nightwing: I do appreciate your offer of a single emerald, but ..... bow..... Pirate

Vee Barlett: But?

Ylyndar Nightwing: I must insist on what you do have

Vee Barlett: And what be that?

Glimber Silvernose: takes out his pick

Temperance: steps back a tad.

Glimber Silvernose: So we fight then?

Vee Barlett: Not yet, Glimbs.

Glimber Silvernose: or you have your bat attack us?

Ylyndar Nightwing: You do not have a singular gem on this ship

Vee Barlett: We still talkin'

Vee Barlett: Not the right kind?

Ylyndar Nightwing: I am here to talk

Glimber Silvernose: See! Pirate not guardian

Glimber Silvernose: Bad man

Ylyndar Nightwing: Not to ruin your ship

Vee Barlett: We talkin' and I still got another question.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I have been generous

Ylyndar Nightwing: What other questions can I answer for a Lady Captain?

Temperance: pats Glimber on the shoulder and smiles.

Vee Barlett: What ya know about the Necromancer of the Skies besides his cheesy name?

Ylyndar Nightwing: Have you encountered such ?

Vee Barlett: Then maybe we can renegotiate this pricey exchange.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Your young gnome's pick would be put to good use

Vee Barlett: So far only seen his work, him runnin', and his footprints.

Vee Barlett: But gonna be put back on his trail soon so wanna know what I can before that.

Temperance: takes note of this Necromancer of the Skies in her mind.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Where were these footprints? I will go investigate... we... GRY is broken you said? Were there any bodies? Did he leave anything behind?

Vee Barlett: It related?

Ylyndar Nightwing: You mention the two within minutes

Ylyndar Nightwing: you think they might be related

Ylyndar Nightwing: that is good enough for me to send word so people can investigate

Vee Barlett: Only common thread bein' yer the first I met who can tell me about the skies.

Vee Barlett: Hmm... if ya investigate, ya gonna find me again to tell me what ya found?

Vee Barlett: 'Cause ain't sure I got a choice in not goin' after this guy.

Glimber Silvernose: If he comes back he'll just want to steal more

Vee Barlett: leans back casually against the ship wheel.

Glimber Silvernose: Don't let him magick you!

Vee Barlett: I can find a way to make it worth yer while. Ain't made at ye ways, but partnerships be a good thing in these matters.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I will take your gems, Pirate, but if I see you again I will share any information I have

Vee Barlett: *mad

Vee Barlett: nods

Glimber Silvernose: sighs

Ylyndar Nightwing: More importantly I will make sure the Sky Ships know that you and your crew are friendly to their clans

Vee Barlett: Then I'll tell ya where the shipwreck was and where I saw the necromancer last so you can investigate. And I still want me kiss. Deal?

Ylyndar Nightwing: With powerful warriors on board, smiles at Glimber

Glimber Silvernose: frowns

Ylyndar Nightwing: One kiss for the ship, one kiss for the footprints, one kiss for each gem

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ylyndar Nightwing: you can go fetch as many as you want

Vee Barlett: So ya knew I'd get me two gems?

Vee Barlett: I only got two to my name.

Vee Barlett: But allies and kisses be worth it.

Vee Barlett: tells him briefly about the cave and the lake in the mountain.

Ylyndar Nightwing: I will take more gems, but not your name

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (because it's too late for me to remember any of those names)

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: grins

Vee Barlett: So I can stay mysterious?

Glimber Silvernose: rolls eyes

wyjyoon (Temperance): didn't she introduce herself earlier?

Ylyndar Nightwing: The Lady Captain of the Lady,

Glimber Silvernose: Because he doesn't care about anything but stealing gems!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she did but it might be a fae thing... or... flirty thing? i dunno lol

Vee Barlett: Lady Grim.

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh

wyjyoon (Temperance): idk either

Vee Barlett: Nah, we just got our money's worth of information and deals, Glimbs.

Vee Barlett: hands over her two emeralds.

Glimber Silvernose: You ...

Vee Barlett: Er, well I did did, ya.

Glimber Silvernose: Those could be worth hundreds of gold

Vee Barlett: Once I get me kiss.

Glimber Silvernose: Each!

Temperance: I'm not sure. You were quite reluctant to hand over those... other items earlier.

Glimber Silvernose: My family mined those and gave them as a guft

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): gift

Temperance: Is information and a press of lips really worth emeralds?

Vee Barlett: Yar, I got me reasons. We can discuss it after our lovely company leaves.

Temperance: raises her brows indulgently.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Bows low, pockets the gems, sweeps Vee over into a deep kiss

Temperance: turns around politely.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Lifts her up

Vee Barlett: nearly swoons.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Gives her a soft warm kiss for the information

Ylyndar Nightwing: and then a kiss on the forehead, for luck

Ylyndar Nightwing: Stay safe Lady Grim

Vee Barlett: definitely swoons now.

Ylyndar Nightwing: and you by good strong young Gnome

Glimber Silvernose: You're a bad man!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and here I am defying bardic stereotypes by not slutting about... :D

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao

Ylyndar Nightwing: If you do have more gems, and wish a fair trade I can send the sky captains your way

Glimber Silvernose: NO!!

Vee Barlett: Much appreciated, Sky Pirate.

Ylyndar Nightwing: Bows

Vee Barlett: blows him a kiss.

Vee Barlett: That a freebie.

Ylyndar Nightwing: WHISTLES three times

Ylyndar Nightwing: then WHISTLES two long tones

Ylyndar Nightwing: Farewell my friends

Temperance: offers a polite bow.

Temperance: Farewell, Sky Pirate.

Ylyndar Nightwing: and turn and RUNS to the prow of the ship and JUMPS into the air reaching and catching a trailing rope ladder off of a Roc that swoops in, a single feather falling down to the deck of the ship

Temperance: Do you want that feather as a souvenir, Vee?

Vee Barlett: picks up the feather and pockets it.

Temperance: points to it.

Vee Barlett: picks up the feather and pockets it.

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

BOB Gigantic wings beat once, twice, three times, and off into the growing light

Vee Barlett: waits to make sure he's gone before speaking.

BOB You are alone

Vee Barlett: The thing ya gotta know about sailin' is we ain't supersitious. We just know the rules out here ain't the same as on land.

Vee Barlett: Ya don't get on the bad side of guardians no matter how much they piss ya off. And this one had worth. Ain't gonna be easy takin' on the skies so gotta make alliances now, yeah?

Vee Barlett: But magnificent as the Zaratan is, I ain't see much long term for an alliance with them. They gonna disappear. Plus I like grumblin' to Zora and makin' her annoyed.

Vee Barlett: Ya gotta think long term, yeah?

Vee Barlett: Worth ain't just what ya sell things for.

Glimber Silvernose: If you want to be nice to pirates, fine. But he's no guardian

Temperance: I suppose I need to read more about Guardians to understand. Because I sure don't right now.

Vee Barlett: He a massive bird who can destroy ships. He can be whatever he says he be. Guardians ain't always good. They just guard things because they got the power to.

Temperance: notes down "books about Guardians".

Temperance: Ah, so bending to those in power. That makes more sense.

Vee Barlett: The Lady still young. I ain't ready fer a massive bird to break her up. Then where we go? Back to the Zaratan where we eat rats?

Temperance: Like a pirate can guard their treasure, or things they like.

Vee Barlett: He more useful alive than us fightin' him.

Glimber Silvernose: Okay. But you have to see that makes him a bad man

Glimber Silvernose: You can give him stuff to save the ship but that makes him bad

Vee Barlett: Thinkin' he more shades of grey.

Glimber Silvernose: No bad

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (....not sure I wanted to make that pun)

Glimber Silvernose: Good people don't destroy ships because they can't steal from you

Vee Barlett: is confused.

Vee Barlett: That be called a shakedown. That ain't abnormal.

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): he was only there for a couple shades of grey

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Vee Barlett: But most shakedowns ya don't get anythin' in return. Here we did.

Glimber Silvernose: But still bad

Temperance: Agree to disagree?

Glimber Silvernose: Yeah

Temperance: smiles lightly.

Glimber Silvernose: He's a bad man

Vee Barlett: We don't gotta agree but I ain't gonna let bad things happen to me crew even if it means makin' deals with those a deem bad, yeah?

Glimber Silvernose: nods

Vee Barlett: smiles

Temperance: We are alive. There are times when we must pick our battles.

Temperance: I suppose today was just one of those days.

Vee Barlett: Yar, and I didn't offer any gems but me own. Dad won't be happy but... he'll understand.

Glimber Silvernose: Tempe didn't give hers either

Temperance: pats Glimber and smiles.

Glimber Silvernose: I'm glad for that

Temperance: I appreciate that you were looking out for us.

Vee Barlett: Yar, happy to if I get some good flirtin' in there, too.

Vee Barlett: winks

Temperance: Yes, I didn't... want to give in so easily, even if he seemed like a powerful guardian.

Temperance: Too many questions.

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Temperance: glad you enjoyed yourself, Vee.

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: Yar, thinkin' this be an investment that'll be worth more than enough of that payment down the road.

Temperance: I certainly hope so.

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): she is kidding herself

Temperance: looks a little ambivalent.

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): you just gave him gems and invited more to come
