Post from Dorhak: [Re:
Actions]
<br>
While Damon and Dorhak
are at the manor, the warf is in ...<br><br>
"Z'leyra, would you
please gather here to the manor...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Kevin: [Re:
Correction]<br>
Grumble.
That was dwarf, not warf. Wasn't Warf also a<br>
klingon? Although,
Dorhak might just be uglier than Warf.<br>
GM: Ack. He was Worf. Though
Warf is like dock Wharf.:) So good.<br><br>
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]<br>
Pyan is
occasionally taking a bite of his meal...<br>
GM: Ack. Excellent long post
for you it was great! Thanks.<br>
Good
job there!<br><br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna smiles as
she walks past a few clients...<br>
GM: Ack. <br><br>

[Marqi Frisda
23rd, 1636TH; Sivas, Marentia]<br>
[Time: 8:45 am] -
Z'leyra's Manor<br><br>
While
Damon and Dorhak are at the manor, the dwarf is in a<br>
rush to get
moving. He's got some thumping to do!<br><br>
"Z'leyra, would you please gather here to the manor those of<br>
the group you can
find then head over to the docks? Damon, tell<br>
them which one to
go to. I don't know them well enough for<br>
that.
Anyway, we will meet you there."<br><br>
Then
Dorhak heads out to ready himself for some payback!<br><br>
Damon
watches Dorhak leave and leans in to Z'leyra. "Where<br>
did you find this
one? He seems....as eager as Thig or as wild<br>
as Ben'dar
was." He leans back and shrugs. Then gives
directions<br>
to the
docks. Actually it is a square due east of the said dock<br>
where a famous
leather shop is located. As he gives directions<br>
he heard Dorhak
yelling impatiently for him to come! Damon smiles<br>
and rushes the
information. Then rushes out to join Dorhak to<br>
return to the
docks.<br><br>
[Time: 9:40 am] -
City Tavern<br><br>
Pyan
is occasionally taking a bite of his meal as he goes<br>
over a tale in his
head, thinking of various ways of telling<br>
it for dramatic
effects when the steward finds him. He listens<br>
to the steward's
short message then quickly finishes his<br>
breakfast and
heads out into the city to find his way to<br>
Z'leyra's place, A
little unsure of himself after several<br>
weeks since he has
been there to manages to find his way<br>
without to much
trouble.<br><br>
When
he gets to the docks he will be at awe at seeing the<br>
ocean for the
first time. Suprised that this was so close to<br>
him the whole time
and he never even thought to go look at<br>
it, thinking it
was just another lake.<br><br>
[Time: 9:40 am] -
Z'leyra's Manor<br><br>
Maelorna smiles as she walks past a few clients she's enjoyed<br>
in the past.
Her gown, like most others is tight fitting where<br>
it needs to be and
unlike some of the tarts who wantonly show<br>
off their
wares. The velvet gown is designed more to tease<br>
and hide her
assets, thus she almost has to dance in order to<br>
entice those
watching her. Which is easy enough, as she walks<br>
with a well
practiced motion, her hips swaying in such a manner<br>
that would cause a
priest, male or female to forget their vows.<br>
<br>
Arriving at the gates she smiles at the men and ignores the<br>
inner voice
demanding to feed and make them into thralls, always<br>
it's the
same. She stops at the gate and caresses the iron<br>
bars while looking
at the guards hungrily, her eyes promising<br>
the dark delights
she can offer. She sighs and gives a<br>
petulant pout as
the steward yells out, however as she passes<br>
the guards, she
does caress each one on their should, "Perhaps<br>
later?" she
offers as she walks past them, hoping they might<br>
take her up on her
offer later after all this business is over.<br><br>
Oddly
she doesn't see the dwarf, she had assumed he would be<br>
outside waiting
for her to give her some sort of dire warning<br>
about not touching
him or his possessions. But as she failed<br>
to notice him, she
entered the front door.<br><br>
[Time: 9:40 am] -
Sivas City Pier<br><br>
For
almost an hour Damon and Dorhak have been watching<br>
the ship waiting
for the party. Dorhak paces back and forth<br>
wondering what is
taking them so long. As Dorhak gets more<br>
and more upset
other fishermen on the pier begin to leave in<br>
a bit of haste as
they become nervous.<br><br>
Dorhak
looks over to the humans fishing. Dorhak can think<br>
of dozens of other
ways to be productive.<br><br>
Thinking of being productive, Dorhak has an idea. To Damon<br>
he says "Two
of them went south off on their own, eh?<br>
Interesting.
Well, since no-one else from Z'leyra's group<br>
have arrived,
maybe you and I should go bump into these two.<br>
'Accidentally', of
course!" He continues "Maybe they might be<br>
able to shed some
light on this attack? I'm sure they could<br>
be persuaded to
engage us in a chat. Besides, I could use<br>
the
exercise." He scratches himself while waiting for Damon<br>
to
answer.<br><br>
The
tall Captain looks down at Damon and grins. "You are a<br>
feisty little
one... remind me of someone named Varange before<br>
he...well...let's
go see what we can find."<br>
<br>
Damon
leads Dorhak off the dock. "I am unsure I can<br>
identify
them. I did not get a close-up of their face. But<br>
maybe we can get
lucky."<br>
<br>
Leaving the dock the pair move quickly south past a large<br>
warehouse.
"Should only be the small general store and maybe<br>
the local
bar. Crewers use bar not taverns since taverns sounds<br>
snobbish.
But for a eager person I hope you can question the<br>
men. I mean
that pig sticker of yours is not a good item to<br>
knock folks
out."<br>
<br>
The
first place is the general store. It is a 2 story place<br>
ships can stock up
for quick ship supplies without going to the<br>
market.<br>
<br>
"You may be a bit too over dressed..."<br><br>
Damon
enters the store a 2 story place large enough to hold<br>
50 folks easy.
There a couple dozen inside. He looks around<br>
but is a bit
confused. They look all the same. Then he waves<br>
Dorhak
over.<br><br>
"Yeah I told ya." He raises his voice to be overheard.
"The<br>
Black Depths ship
is a piece of junk. The captain wears a dress<br>
and flirts with
the dockmaster."<br><br>
Dorhak's eyes widen. Not a good thing to say with dozens of<br>
sailors in here.
Now all looking straight at Damon.<br><br>
Damon
pretends to look at some small anchors.<br>
<br>
"I heard the ship has sunk twice. The crew is known to<br>
steal
dogs."<br>
<br>
A man
steps forward who is dressed loosely but had no weapons<br>
but a dagger. But
another man stops him and shakes his head.<br><br>
>
"They will eat the dogs and have carnal sessions with
them."<br><br>
Dorhak
feels a bit nervous. This captain is mad!<br><br>
But
from some parts of the store a bit of a laugh is heard.<br>
Sailors do like
crew bashing tales. <br><br>
"Nah. These anchors not good. Let's go..."<br><br>
He
moves toward the door.<br><br>
Dorhak
wipes a bead of sweat from his head is it suddenly<br>
hot in his
chainmail?<br><br>
"Worst is I heard the Captain keeps at least 40% of his<br>
earned coins to
himself never sharing with his crew...."<br>
<br>
Exiting the store Damon quickly moves north toward the<br>
alley.<br><br>
Dorhak
stares at the mad man. A wise man would not walk<br>
into a bar and
insult all sailors and hope not to be dealt<br>
with.<br><br>
"Let's head this way to the alley..."<br><br>
Damon
pushes Dorhak down the alley and glances to the<br>
south just in time
to see 2 men exit.<br>
<br>
"We can't take too long with them. I don't want to miss<br>
the others.
Maybe we 'talk' to them quickly and decide if<br>
we bring one or
both with us to meet the others."<br><br>
Dorhak
then asks, "maybe we make certain the one that<br>
restrained the
hothead really, really wants to meet new<br>
friends." He grumbles a bit then says "At least one of
them<br>
should join us,
but having both for questioning would be more,<br>
um, fun. But
I won't cry if one of them becomes the first down<br>
payment on what
they owe me."<br><br>
Damon
smiles. "we...ahh" he lowers his voice and tsks tsks. He<br>
looks down at
Dorhak. Squatting a bit. "Do birds live in that<br>
beard?"<br><br>
The
two men come around the corner. Dorhak glares at Damon.<br>
Damon does a side
glance. "Hey boys! Got some rum? We can have<br>
fun with this
small one!" Both men stop.<br><br>
This
time the loose fitting one restrains the other man now<br>
reversing roles.
They mumble a few words.<br><br>
Damon
stands and eyes the men now in better light.<br><br>
The
loose fitting is well tanned like Damon and seems to be a<br>
sailor.<br><br>
But
the other is more pale but a good 50 pounds more. He<br>
doesn't look like
a sailor. Maybe a guard or marine. Damon<br>
sees this in a
second. But Dorhak just sees 2 stupid humans.<br><br>
The
Sailor nods to guard man. Then reaches behind him and<br>
draws a long
dagger. The guard turns and runs as he shouts a<br>
few strange
words. The sailor moves forward. "Hand him over.<br>
Get coin.' He says
in a bit of broken Marentian.<br><br>
Damon
curses and shoves Dorhak right at the sailor and runs<br>
forward down the
alley. He shoves the sailor back toward<br>
Dorhak before he
can realize and keeps running.<br><br>
Dwarf
and Sailor collide. Dwarf grumbles why do folks run<br>
into him!<br><br>
Damon
yells. "Stay here with this friend. Off to stop
other<br>
before..." He
rounds the corner and his voice fades.<br><br>
Dorhak
will do as Damon says, and do his best to disarm the<br>
foolish
sailor. He will attempt to use his hand-to-hand skills<br>
as well as use his
shield to punch his lights out, and then<br>
simply pin the guy
down, especially his hand if it still holds<br>
the
dagger.<br><br>
"I am uncomfortable with this, this, trusting of a human I do<br>
not even
know."<br><br>
Dorhak
draws his mace and shield standing feet apart ready for<br>
combat. As
the sailor approaches Dorhak tries a step forward<br>
and foot swipe to
trip the sailor. But the sailor side steps<br>
and forward to
raise a elbow to do a elbow slam into Dorhak's<br>
chest. The
impact is severe as pain rocks up his arm since he<br>
wasn't expecting
armor. Dorhak swings his shield to the back<br>
of the sailor
slamming hard. The sailor lurches forward and<br>
stumbles.
Dorhak lunges at the man and uses his mace to arm<br>
brace the sailor
hitting the sailor's dagger arm at the joint<br>
forcing his arm to
pivot into a angle. The sailor uses his<br>
other arm to punch
Dorhak right in the chin.<br><br>
Dorhak
stumbles back ever so slightly. The Sailor lunges with<br>
dagger in hand but
this time with dagger blade down. The sailor<br>
tries a upper bash
right toward Dorhak's chin to knock him out.<br>
But at the last
second Dorhak brings shield up and blocks the<br>
blade.<br><br>
Dorhak
tries the top of the mace - minus the spikes - to use<br>
the flat surface
to bash the man. Dorhak hits him in the<br>
shoulder forcing
him back. The sailor does a wild swing with<br>
dagger blade up
this time but misses.<br><br>
Dorhak
then bashes the sailor's head and the man falls to his<br>
knees.
Dorhak slams the shield to the side of his head and the<br>
sailor
collapses. Dorhak climbs on the back of the man and<br>
throws the dagger
off to the side. Now to wait for the human.<br><br>
Dorhak
realizes he is facing the man's rear - butt and necks<br>
but it still
works. Suddenly the sailor lets a massive gas<br>
bomb go off.
Dorhak's eyes water as he realizes the man must've<br>
had some very
spicy food.<br><br>
It
seems like forever but is a minute or two when Damon runs<br>
around the corner.
Alone?<br><br>
"ahh...I kind of ...lost him...you wouldn't believe what<br>
happened..."<br><br>
Damon
runs fingers through his hair in a nervous gesture<br>
of worry.
"I started to chase him. We both ran for maybe<br>
half a mile.
Then all of a sudden a passenger coach turned<br>
the corner so fast
it was hard to even see till late. The<br>
man was hit by the
side of the wagon's door buckboard. He<br>
tripped and
fumbled. The man was lucky as the rear<br>
wheel ran over his
stomach so fast he didn't seem to have<br>
much damage.
I had to dodge the wagon myself. When I got<br>
close the lucky
man stood and limped away. This time taking<br>
the sidewalk not
the street. He limped and jogged as fast<br>
as he could.
I was within about 10 feet when two men carrying<br>
a single sheet of
glass fit for a window without frames<br>
came out of a
store. He had looked back to check on me.<br>
I waved for him to
look but it was too late. Blam he runs<br>
right through the
glass. I was about to grab him when the<br>
worker carrying
the glass on the right side hauled him to his<br>
feet. He was
bleeding badly. The worker was NOT happy<br>
and shoved the man
back toward the street. As the man<br>
stumbled back he
fell over a horse saddle railing to tie<br>
up horses and fell
backwards. He fell right into a horse<br>
trough and hit his
head. I slowed down as he just sunk into<br>
the shallow
water. I ...um...think he died...or he might<br>
wish he
had."<br><br>
Dorhak
stares at the Captain in amazement. Is this<br>
man on
drugs? Such incompetent street tracking!<br><br>
"I backed off as did not want to stick around as the<br>
group around him
hauled him up and said he wasn't<br>
responding.
Looked like a very bad bump on his head.<br>
I didn't want to
stick around and answer bad questions."<br><br>
Damon
looks down at the sailor. "Looks like you made<br>
a
friend..." He sniffs the air where the sailor let<br>
loose a gas
bomb. "Smell alike. I mean....Looks like<br>
he may not wake up
for some time. If we just wake him up<br>
and haul him to
the street we could pretend he is a drunk<br>
or just keep him
here and use those crates to block our<br>
view? I could go
to the square and find the others?"<br><br>
[Time: 9:50 am] -
Z'leyra's manor<br><br>
Z'leyra gathers the group and says Arawn is the only<br>
one not
here. She'll leave him a note and they should<br>
head out it has
been over an hour and the dwarf may need<br>
help.<br><br>
The
group leaves the manor and heads quickly toward<br>
the
docks.<br><br>
[Time: 10:03 am] -
Sivas City Docks District<br><br>
Damon
helps carry the knocked out sailor behind the alley<br>
crates.
"I'll head to the square. It might look off if<br>
a large group just
appears here in the alley. But with<br>
this captive we
don't have much choice."<br><br>
Damon
runs out as Dorhak taps the man's face to try to<br>
wake him up. But
the man will probably be out for some time.<br><br>
[Time: 10:05 am] -
Sivas City Docks District<br><br>
Damon
paces around the square gazebo waiting. Finally<br>
he spots Z'leyra
and the others. He waves them over<br>
and quickly
explains what happened. Kiet groans at the<br>
attempt for dwarf
interrogations.<br><br>
Damon
leads the group toward the alley. "I think we<br>
should go
separately not at once. Give a few moments before<br>
the next
person. Make sure no one is looking."<br><br>
Z'leyra tells Corona to go back to the square to look<br>
for Arawn and
guide him here. <br><br>

Next
Update....Saturday...?<br><br>
GM: The above with
Damon/Dorhak was email round robin<br>
over a week or two. Now the party except Arawn is<br>
here all together with a mysterious sailor. Now what?<br><br>
For the IBT I'm basically done. It is 2100 lines so<br>
far. But I need to do 2-2 hours of spell book keeping.<br>
Then spell check it (2-3 hours). Then send it to Tobie<br>
for approval. So I need 5 or so hours? I'll try to do<br>
this saturday. Once I am done I can concentrate fully on the<br>
updates again. Sorry for any delay and only 1 update out<br>
in a week. Hopefully this will change.<br><br>
However! Next week I have to do taxes which will probably<br>
take one day (Wednesday). The following week a doc visit<br>
and that takes hours. So will have less time over the<br>
next 2 weeks. Then the following week I may have a thing<br>
to do as well. So don't be surprised if swamped with<br>
things to do for the updates. :<<br><br>
I hope this makes sense. I'm on 3 hours sleep after<br>
watching eclipse and on empty. :)<br><br>
