"The City
Guard will likely be here soon," Arawn warned...<br><br>
[OOC:
Invisibility, max EL, Sidh Tongue and Empathy boost]<br>
GM: Ack. Guess I forgot
about the hair thing. :) Inviso vs<br>
animals with high sense of smell. A good challenge! As<br>
to out
of sight the docks give no out of sight. Sorry.<br>
Aside
from hoping off fay horse and doing it then but<br>
someone would still probably see.<br><br>
From Dorhak: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Leopards and
wolves? What, are they critters from a....<br>
<br>
"Kiet, why
don’t you and Z’leyra go fast after that...<br>
GM: Ack.<br><br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
"Oh...sure...I can do that!'<br><br>
Kiet kicks himself
(figuratively) forgetting his...<br><br>
If I catch up to
the officer, do not close. If he ducks into<br>
a building
somewhere, Kiet would look for him using an EL4 mana<br>
sending
sphere...and if it looks like a face to face is needed,<br>
then an EL1
personal illusion changing to look like the sailor<br>
we released to the
wild. "I just happened to see you go in<br>
here..."<br>
GM: Ack. Forgot about your
horse? I thought you rode it to<br>
the
manor and then to alley? But boots work.<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
Upon hearing that
she and Kiet were to go after the officer<br>
Z'leyra offers
"Kiet, please accept this spell to hasten...<br>
GM: Ack. Spell not
cast. See below.<br><br>
From Kiet: [Re:
Actions]
<br>
I don’t think
Kiet will need the help, but it’s<br>
appreciated.<br>
GM: Ack. Two speed
spells might conflict. If it doesn't<br>
match
up fully then your legs would be so twisted and<br>
stumbling. Imagine MR 15 and MR 18. It would be<br>
like
Flash hit with a speed device. Might be awkward.<br><br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna sighs and
stands up before following Arawn, "Can't..<br>
<br>
[ooc] She can't go
invis unless she changes to her prettier<br>
half.<br>

[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Marqi Frisda
23rd, 1636TH; Sivas, Marentia]<br>
[Time 10:27:05
am]<br><br>
As the
party moved away from the alley Arawn briefed them on<br>
his actions and
insight.<br><br>
"From what my magic is able to glean, the man was telling<br>
the truth. He was
just following orders and seems to have no<br>
idea as to any
slaves which leaves the soldiers as our culprits.<br>
If we have the
right group. And I've altered his memory for now<br>
so that he recalls
us as strangers who discovered him after he<br>
was jumped. Best
to avoid any charges, especially as he seems<br>
mostly
innocent."<br><br>
"But if we need to track him down later I have the means to<br>
do
so," he said, referring to the strands of hair for
those<br>
in the
know.<br><br>
Damon
raises a hand, "stay away from me taking stuff like<br>
hair is a major
invasion to my body! Plus its just rude."<br>
He smiles.
"But the sailor sounded like from Ba'ru so if they<br>
were hired short
term that makes sense they would not know.<br>
Since it seems the
guards were there already they must be<br>
aware. It is
not very uncommon to hire short term crews for<br>
short
voyages."<br><br>
<br>
[Time: 10:28:00
am] - Sivas City Docks District<br><br>
"The City Guard will likely be here soon," Arawn warned
the<br>
party, nodding
slightly in the direction of the sailors and<br>
then the officer
who had just disappeared.<br><br>
He
watched the wolf and large cat cornering the man on deck.<br>
The Alfar seemed
unsure of what to do - it was broad daylight<br>
and things were
already complicated enough, especially as he<br>
did not know who
the innocents were. But he did not wish there<br>
to be more
bloodshed.<br><br>
Stepping out of direct view he whispered an ancient rhyme to<br>
invoke a cloak of
invisibility before making his way on to the<br>
ship.<br><br>
<br><br>
[Time: 10:29 am] -
Sivas City Docks District<br><br>
Leopards and wolves? What, are they critters from a<br>
menagerie?
Got loose on board and a good reason ,for the<br>
sailors to abandon
ship!<br>
<br>
"Kiet, why don’t you and Z'leyra go fast after that officer?<br>
The rest of us
will head toward that ship and see what's going<br>
on?"
Dorhak tells the others.<br><br>
Dorhak
is not intending to do anything more than move over<br>
nearer to the ship
and see what can be seen. He's certainly not<br>
going on board
with a loose, um, 'jaguar', I think Kiet called<br>
it? Let
alone a wolf. Not till he knows more about what is<br>
happening.<br><br>
"Oh...sure...I can do that!' Kiet says.<br><br>
Kiet
kicks himself (figuratively) forgetting his boots will<br>
allow a swift
pursuit. Kiet activates his boots for speed only<br>
and takes off
after the officer. Kiet's not trying to apprehend<br>
him, but really
would like to see where he thinks he's going.<br>
While Kiet's
opinions on slavery differ from most of his<br>
companions, he
also knows the law here...and helping these<br>
people might just
garner some good will from t he nobility<br>
here.<br><br>
Upon
hearing that she and Kiet were to go after the officer<br>
Z'leyra offers
"Kiet, please accept this spell to hasten your<br>
steps" as she
touches Kiet with her staff.<br><br>
But
Kiet is already off and running. He turns back and<br>
grins wondering
why it is taking her so long. Z'leyra figures<br>
he has magic to
help him out already.<br><br>
Maelorna sighs and stands up before following Arawn, "Can't<br>
let me have any
fun, pity. No matter, there are others to<br>
indulge in I'm
sure," she grouses as she looks about for more<br>
chaos she might be
able to sew. She looks to the direction of<br>
the officer and
ignores him, the pair are going to wind up<br>
killing him.
'Maybe there is someone on the ship I can make<br>
into another pet,
perhaps one that isn't oriented towards the<br>
same gender.' she
thinks as she ignores the laughter from her<br>
other
half.<br><br>
[Time: 10:30 am] -
At the ship<br><br>
Arawn
dismounts off the fay horse well ahead of the others<br>
who are down the
boardwalk. He glances up to see Corona<br>
circle around the
area in a leisurely ellipse. There is just<br>
no place to hide
so just casts his invisibility spell. There<br>
are many on the
street but they seem to ignore him or just<br>
don't care.
Arawn walks up the small side dock toward the<br>
ship's
gangplank.<br><br>
Arawn
slowly creeps up the gangplank that is very noisy<br>
due to his
weight. He watches the wolf and other animal<br>
circle and
pace.<br><br>
The
jaguar turns away from apple-man and sniffs the<br>
fallen men on the
deck. Clearly some are still alive but<br>
many are
dead. The jaguar moves forward to the front of<br>
the ship and
inspects the same area with downed bodies.<br>
There are arrows
all over the deck and bodies with arrows.<br>
<br>
As
Arawn steps on the deck the jaguar moves back toward<br>
the back and
apple-man. But the Jaguar stops and sniffs<br>
the air. It
then circles in a wide arc around Arawn.<br>
the Zenhani wolf
runs toward the same area and growls.<br><br>
Arawn
is clearly detected while holding his blade and shield<br>
and stoic, so he
decides to remain and stoic. The Jaguar<br>
then approaches
closer and sniffs right up against Arawn's<br>
left leg.
Arawn could easily kill it but holds back.<br><br>
The
Jaguar growls and fakes paw at the obvious invisible<br>
leg. But
then the paws seem to change as the claws with<br>
drawl further
inward not ready for attack. The jaguar<br>
then turns to the
wolf and purrs and moves back to apple-man.<br><br>
The
apple-man who is tempted to just jump over the<br>
railing to the
cold bay below watches as both animal<br>
approach.<br><br>
"Hello?" he knows more greetings than he knows actual<br>
languages) -
"Friend?" (hands open & raised to shoulders in<br>
stop/slow/surrender gesture. He moves one hand to chest)<br>
"Raddok.
Friend?"<br><br>
The
animals do not seem to understand the words but they<br>
can sense
fear. But this man is alone it would be a easy<br>
kill to
take. The Jaguar looks back to Arawn who is now<br>
moving toward the
rear. This new person is clearly not<br>
a sailor so maybe
he can deal with the scared man.<br><br>
[Down below in the
hold]<br><br>
After
her attacker is down and unarmed, Unali relaxes a<br>
bit.<br><br>
She
sees the clothes and staff from the blind girl, but no<br>
girl. That was a
big cat that suddenly appeared. If what she<br>
thinks is correct,
the girl is going to want her clothes once<br>
she gets in more
public spaces and whatever spell that is<br>
ends.<br><br>
Unali
turns to Mournath, "You have been here longer, it<br>
appears. Did that
girl have more than just a stick and clothes?<br>
We might as well
bring it along when we follow her to topside."<br><br>
Unali
turns to the dwarves who spot the obvious crewman<br>
and stands over
the body. She tells them he needs to be<br>
questioned.
Justice will be done. The dwarves seem to ignore<br>
this and
growl. But then one in the crowd steps forward<br>
and begins
speaking to the others. A small argument comes<br>
about from a few
of them.<br><br>
Mournath uses this chance to move from the back of the<br>
hold toward
Unali. As he does he glances to the far<br>
side and notices
bundles in the corner. He points to<br>
the bundles.
Then Unali notices some rope near the dwarf<br>
cages she moves
there and uses the rope to bind the downed<br>
man.<br><br>
Fremea
now in the hold helps Unali tie up the man.<br><br>
Unali
speaks to Fremea, "I am not sure who this man is",<br>
pointing to the
unconscious sailor, "but he tried to ambush<br>
me, so not too
friendly." She turns to Mournath: "Mournath, any<br>
idea who he
is." and back to Fremea: "Not sure how much he knows<br>
and how much you
want to know. If he is the captain, he<br>
probably has an
office nearby from where he appeared so<br>
suddenly. What do
you want to do with him, bring him topside?"<br><br>
Mournath blurts out something about first mate. Then points<br>
up and down the
hall. Clearly the sailor is in a bit of<br>
shock at what mess
he is in.<br><br>
[On deck]<br><br>
Arawn
approaches the apple-man and lowers his blade.<br>
He beckons the man
off the railing and tries to convince<br>
him he is not in
any danger.<br><br>
That
is when he notices the Jaguar's eyes are milk white with<br>
no iris. The
Jaguar turns and moves toward the stairs. Arawn<br>
then realizes
Fremea and Unali are missing. He wonders if he<br>
should give chase
to check on them before they are attacked<br>
by the
jaguar. But he gets a sense the animal is not in<br>
danger of
attacking them.<br><br>
The
Zehani wolf stays on deck warming to the sun and<br>
watching Arawn as
the jaguar runs down the stairs and<br>
then back to the
hold.<br><br>
But at
the same time the dwarves see freedom. They<br>
start arguing and
in mass move toward the door. Fremea<br>
and Unali step
aside as the dwarves walk over the downed<br>
man but does not
seems to walk on him just over him.<br><br>
The
dwarves run up the stairs and into the animal but<br>
they seem to
ignore it as they spot filters of daylight<br>
from above.
They run up the stairs and onto the deck<br>
and grin.
Some glare at the sun trying to adjust to the<br>
sudden
brightness.<br><br>
Mournath waves toward Unali and heads up the stairs. Fremea<br>
inspects the hold
to ensure no one else is here. As the two<br>
leave the jaguar
enter and then changes back into a nude<br>
young girl.
Fremea watches as she dresses. Then Fremea<br>
inspects the
bundles and finds clothing and gear a nice<br>
pile that must be
the girl's and dwarf possible gear.<br><br>
Unali
stops at the galley door and is tempted to kick it<br>
in but opens it to
show nothing inside. Then Mournath<br>
taps her shoulder
and points to the door at the end of the<br>
hall that must be
the captain's office.<br><br>
[On deck]<br><br>
Raddok
- apple-man moves back toward the rear rail as<br>
the elf had
indicated with his blade, looking over his<br>
shoulder to avoid
trips over any fallen men close to the stern<br>
railing, keeping
his hands raised to shoulder height. He stands<br>
still as the man
moves toward him.<br><br>
Raddok watches the
sleek animal descend and the wolf<br>
stare at him. Then he
watches as the dwarves swarm he<br>
deck from the stairs.<br><br>
("Oh,
sh!t!" (in Salaqi) (he thinks: "By all the Elder gods,<br>
what is going on here?")
(He glances briefly toward the skies)<br>
"Can I have the mad
Faerry back, please?" (in Salaqi) (He backs<br>
up against the rail, and
glances back, gauging whether he would<br>
be better off jumping
overboard, although he really couldn't swim<br>
worth a wet dog. He watches
the animals carefully, as they spot<br>
him & stops moving, the
rail at his back.) "Friend?" (he says<br>
this in Cerulean &
Fomorian first, brief pause then tries Salaqi.<br>
If no response yet, will
venture a weak-volumed & questioning<br>
Xianese. Then he tries a soft
"Help!" in the same languages.)<br><br>
Arawn smiles and
speaks in Donaran his name and tells the<br>
man he is in no danger.
The glances behind him to see<br>
the dwarves. So it is
true. A slaver ship. But the<br>
death on deck is a problem for
the party now on deck of<br>
a murder scene.<br><br>
The wolf seems to
watch as others approach the gangplank.<br>
Dorhak, Pyan and Mae.
Dorhak with full gear isn't scared<br>
and walks up. While the
other two wary of the animal stands<br>
on the deck unsure if they
should board the ship.<br><br>
Dorhak looks
around at the arrows and downed guards and<br>
sailors then groans.
Fremea had her fun. Then he notices<br>
the group of dwarves and
smiles. It is always good to<br>
see his own kind! But as
he approaches the scent of the<br>
stored dwarves hits him.
Dorhak has been ripe before but<br>
man these folks need a serious
bath!<br><br>
[Second deck]<br><br>
Mournath and Unali
approach the door. As they door<br>
Mournath enters his cabin and
grabs his weapons. But<br>
Unali continues. As she
approaches the other rooms are<br>
empty and open. But she
smells a bit of smoke form inside<br>
the room. Candles?
Lantern? No something is burning<br>
like - parchment.<br><br>
Unali checks the
door and it is locked. A heavy wooden<br>
door. If the captain is
inside burning stuff they need to<br>
stop it fast. She
glances behind her as Mournath comes out<br>
of the cabin with spear in
hand.<br><br>
[Time: 10:33 am]<br><br>
--------------------<br><br>
<br>
[Time: 10:30 am]<br><br>
As the others
board the ship Z'leyra and Kiet run east<br>
toward the man who has rounded
the corner.<br><br>
Z'leyra realizes
Kiet is slightly faster and assume it must<br>
be his acrobatic
agility?<br><br>
Those who have
been ignoring the group now are fully paying<br>
attention to the fast running
couple. They are moving 1.5 times<br>
faster than normal
folks. So this is a bit unusual. Eyes are<br>
now drawn on the two and in
turn now to the ship since there is a<br>
nice unusual fay horse on the
dock in front. Eyes then scan the<br>
ship and notice the
wolf. Folks begin to stop in mid walk or<br>
ride. The only things
that continue on are wagons. Any tact is<br>
now lost to the
group.<br><br>
About 10 seconds
later Z'leyra nods to Corona and gestures<br>
to follow. They could
use aerial support.<br><br>
As the two move
they also notice a couple sailors but it<br>
is unclear if they are sailors
from ship in question or<br>
the one further east.
But the sailors seem to be in a<br>
urgent run off the
ship.<br><br>
[Time: 10:30:40 am]<br><br>
Some forty seconds
pass before the fast runners make<br>
the distance to the corner the
man turned. By now the<br>
other sailors went the same
way. They figure he has maybe<br>
100 feet head start
now.<br><br>
This side street
is a double alley that links the boardwalk<br>
with a larger
thoroughfare. The running couple can see<br>
wagons, passenger coaches,
single horses and walkers<br>
moving east and west. It
is about 200 feet ahead.<br><br>
In this side alley
there are 4-5 others moving back and<br>
forth north to south or vice
versa. As the couple round<br>
the corner their estimate is
shot when they see the man<br>
near the boulevard. If
he gets mixed up in traffic he<br>
could be lost.<br><br>
The couple notice
the sailors shortly behind and they begin<br>
to shout and yell for
guards. Both Kiet and Z'leyra glance<br>
at each other. They must
be sailors from the second ship<br>
looking for help<br><br>
That's when in the
distance far to the south beyond the<br>
4 way crossroads the couple
notice city guards riding fast<br>
this way. It seems
warning was already placed earlier. The<br>
guards are on horses and
moving fast this way north.<br><br>
The guards cross
the busy intersection and meet the<br>
sailors who gesture back
north. Kiet and Z'leyra both<br>
realize they are either being
pointed at or they mean their<br>
ship? The guards ride
fast forward. There are 5 guards<br>
on fast horses with two of
them armed with missile weapons on<br>
their back.<br><br>
Z'leyra glances
back and sees Corona turn the corner<br>
and she realizes the eagle
never saw the man so how could<br>
he go after him?<br><br>
Kiet and Z'leyra
stare at the officer cross the intersection<br>
and then suddenly a passenger
coach followed by a covered<br>
freight wagon passes. In
the next instant there is no sign<br>
of the man.<br><br>
Kiet and Z'leyra
glance at each other.<br><br>
[Time: 10:31:00 am]<br><br>
