[P.S.: I am starting to save all these game mails as a draft - too many times I have lost them when they didn't send properly!  After the game I'l delete them as most of this is saved in my document files of game.]

Apr 15th (evening, after in port)
It's after dinner & Raddok spent much of the meal in silence, reflecting on this last journey at sea. He had been extremely lucky that the others had stopped the giant in time to save to ship - and his life - for he had few doubts that he could easily have been flattened or worse. He was, however, glad to have been there to protect his new companions.

Raddok had been wondering about something & decided to ask their leader about it. He went to seek out Dorhak, and asked him (using Dwarf Elder, as always with the dwarf) "Captain, excuse me, but I have a question. I was very new on this mission and may not have caught all the information we were given then, so I've been wondering - how many of us speak Fomorian? I told you that I have some basic knowledge, but I'm no expert, & the terms I learned had pretty much to do with daily needs - food, inns, supplies & stuff - but also with mining, since my work on Vahear involved clearing out a mine of an infestation of Kotothi & Chaos creatures.

"So, how many of us speak Fomorian? Should we be using the language necklace to learn it? And who knows it best? I might be able to learn some more before we get to Vahear - & I really think it a good idea to do so - for all of us.

"And since the necklace is here, is there any other language, we need to learn, or anyone to teach it to us?"

Raddok is pleased to join Unali for a drink & maybe lunch in Tilal, near the docks. He hopes to ask for a few dagger fighting tips during their visit, and wants to purchase a small sharpening stone for his blades, as his old one could get lost at some point - having a backup would be handy - or maybe he could just borrow one. He sighed for his ignorance.They find a place with the sign of a fallen tankard, & enter, ordering drink and heading for a table. It's a bit dim indoors, but he notices a dancer all in black, female from the well-clothed form, on a small stage to one side near the back & enjoys the strange music she's dancing to, but his stomach starts growling & he's more interested in pointing out to the bartender someone eating what appears to be a stew, & pointing back & forth to indicate he also wants some food. 

The man nods his head, Raddok waves in thanks & follows Unali to the table with his tankard. He looks about the room, looking for potential drunks & troublemakers, & sees some tough types scattered about, but none seem aggressive, so he sits down to join Unali. She asks him about some of the creatures he had met or fought against, & he shares with her some of his adventures in the mine on Vahear. Enjoying sharing his tale, he doesn't notice that Unali seems a bit distracted. 

She gets up to leave the table, excusing herself for a minute & Raddok just nods - his meal - a fragrant stew - has just arrived, and he digs in. He then remembers that he wanted to ask Unali about maybe converting a few of his coins to small gems, as he's aware that coin values change country to country, & some gems have a more stable value for traveling.

[OOC note: it's an even-numbered day, so Raddok will be wearing (unless the ship's officers warn him otherwise) his mace (in its sling) & his shield (on his back sling), & his dagger]

[OOC question - is he still learning dagger, when not taking swimming lessons? Approximately when will that be completed? (no rush, Scott - just want to be accurate as to his skill level). Since his mace is slung on right side of belt, the knife has its own sling on the left side, if you need to know. Hope this got all the questions answered?]
