Eric overheard the crew talking.

  On 5/22/2014 at 6:20 AM, Sandy said:

"He forgot ta mention that there ain't a pirate in these seas that would pass the opportunity to steal this ship." Jaws mutters.

"Let them come, then", he smirked as he unsheathed Godricsleif. He held the blade in the sunlight. "Let them come, so they can feel the edge of my blade. I do not fear these pirates."

  On 5/22/2014 at 11:59 AM, Khorne said:

Nur found a spot to lay down and propped a rolled up bedroll behind his head as a pillow before lowering his hat over his eyes.

"Have you even seen many battles, Nord? Those pretty boots of yours don't appear to be have much wear on them. The pirates we may face out here won't be old and decrepit like your hobbling friend there, they'll be serious opponents." Nur enjoyed throwing gibes like his companions had been earlier. "And the first thing they'll take after disarming you will be those fancy boots. Elf-made no doubt."

Throlar might have made a scathing remark, but he was too busy heaving his guts out over the rail.

Jaws took a step back.

"Luckily there ain't many pirates sailing these seas, the Bonapartes have taken a good care of that! Outside the Crystalline Sea, the going gets rough, though. The Vikings to the north, the Corsairs to the east, the Merfolk plunderers to the south... Aye, we're on safe waters fer the time being. We're likely to see only a few shady smugglers when we come near Dim Haven, and they couldn't even catch us wiv their puny boats."

Then the werepiranha realized something he had forgotten.

"Oh, since yer going where yer going, I should give ya these." Jaws took out three cards with monsters on them. "I won these in a gamble with a sailor that had just come from Port Taboo. He called them Decamon Cards, and apparently they're the new craze in Babeleth. But he said ya need at least five to play the game, so these are worthless to me. Maybe they'll help ya out there, at least to break the ice wiv the locals."

Jaws hands the cards to the party. Who will take them?

Throlar shoved himself away from the rail, moving towards Jaws.

"I'll... take those cards, thank you, they will be... helpful."

"And the first thing they'll take after disarming you will be those fancy boots. Elf-made no doubt."

"I have seen many battles. Judging the fighting capabilities by a man's boots is a strange habit, mage. I kill with my hands, I take lives with my blade. The boots are there to keep my feet warm." the Nord paused, "besides, if they do manage to disarm me or take me down in some way, they'd have every right to take my boots. Spoils of war. The strong take and the weak perish. It is the way of life. I'll see what path the gods have in store for me." A sly grin came to Eric's face and for the first time in the conversation, he redirected his gaze away from his sword and actually looked at Nur. "Of course, I won't make it easy for them to take me down. I will earn my place in the afterlife."

Behind him he heard Throlar vomit. Eric turned around and chuckled. "Weak," he thought. He did raise an eyebrow, however, when the Dwarf claimed the cards. Eric was curious, but couldn't stand the thought of having to actually ask the Dwarf if he could take a look at the peculiar cards.

  On 5/20/2014 at 7:07 PM, Jebediahs said:

"Greetings. I am En Sabah Nur. I wouldn't mind visiting all the locations this dark place has to offer, once our objectives have been completed of course. How have you been fairing in Eubric with the weather? It's a much warmer climate than you're used to, no?"

"Well, yes, it has taken some getting used to. But I haven't wandered the snowy steppes of my homeland for many years now." Avalanche's eyes darken at some old memory rushing to the fore. "As for visiting the other locations, count me out. I have no wish to converse with the undead, rather to kill them, so if that is what you propose doing, I'll come along. And I never want to so much as see a mutant again- not after what happened..." He groans and shakes his head, trying to dispel the memories.

Avalanche nodded respectfully to the Captain and his first mate, then looked on in awe as the magical blue orb propelled the ship forward.

"Pirates? I agree with the Nord. Let them come." His hands grip the bone halberd slung across his back.

  On 5/23/2014 at 8:16 AM, Khorne said:

Behind him he heard Throlar vomit. Eric turned around and chuckled.

Throlar gave Eric a look that seemed to say mock me for being seasick and I'll feed you your guts, before lurching back to the rail and recommencing his labors.

Jaws gave the odd cards to Throlar, since he was the only one who wanted them.

Much to Eric and Avalanche's disappointment, no pirates attacked them in all three days they were on sea. The Fang Coast and the island nation of Pyr sped past them, and at the third evening of their journey, Captain Squidraken summoned everyone to the deck.

"Alas, *spud* *spittle* our voyage together has come to an end. *gulp* Jaws will take you into the Dim Haven by the rowboat. *gurgle* If you look ahead, you will see why."

The party looked into the darkening horizon, and saw a large cave on the side of bare cliffs rising on the shore. They got onto the rowboat and made their way to the cave. As they approached it, a sailing boat emerged from inside.

"Aye, the port be inside the grotto. That's why they calls it Dim Haven, geddit?"

True enough, as the rowboat made it past the mouth of the cave, a small village opened in front of the heroes' eyes. The hour was late, but there were still some people up and about, minding their own businesses.

"T'was a pleasure, gentlemen. Shame we have to head on, but I and the cap'n both think ye're competent enough to find yer own way back. Oh, almost forgot! Ask the Dockmaster to open you the door to the tunnel that be the way to the mainland - that be the only way ya can get out of here, save the waterway. He's the haughty fellow with a fish-shaped hat."

Jaws leaves the party at the pier, and waves goodbye as he rows back to the Flouncy Phoenix. What will the party do now?

Throlar was Amazed by this, he had spent most of his life in a city carved out of the caverns inside Mount Eagle, but an underground port? He was amazed by the idea, admittedly it was rather small and most of the structures were rather rickety and most of them were obviously hastily cobbled together, and there was very little expansion on the original cavern, he supposed it was rather hard to find skilled dwarven or goblin masons and stonecarvers here, still the idea was a good one and he should suggest that to the Titaan authorities, maybe Titaan would be able to manage it's own sea trade if it had such a port.

In the meantime he was looking around at all the different species that were gathered in one place, Selkreeth, Tethusal, Asterad, Medusa (or was she a Snakewoman?), Kappa (or Wereturtle, whatever you wanted to call it), Brownie (or House Elf, Dammit, why does almost every species have to have at least two names?), Poncanis (his eyes narrowed once he saw that one), Humans (nothing surprising there), Scarecrow, Werelion and... was that an Automaton?

Once they reached the pier and Jaws had left Throlar began to speak to his companions as quietly as possible.

"I think that before we talk to the Dockmaster we ought to explore a little, talk to people, pick up rumors, and see what supplies we can get for our journey. And I don't think we should tell anyone why we're here, or even lie to anyone about why we're here, it's better just to keep our business to ourselves, that's probably how everyone does things here."

Edited May 23, 201410 yr by Lord Duvors

"I'm hungry and have sat around long enough. Will meet up with you gents at the Dockmaster later." En Sabah Nur dons his Cobra Nemes before walking away from the stalled group. He nodded and casually grinned to those he passed until he reached the green haired woman wearing an apron.

"Good evening. Might you direct me to some place from which I can get a hot supper?"

Sarge walks up to the group next to the women with the snake-hair and asks "So yer got any wares?"

  On 5/24/2014 at 5:54 AM, Jebediahs said:

"Good evening. Might you direct me to some place from which I can get a hot supper?"

The snakes on the woman's hair hiss as she speaks to Nur.

"Aye, I'm the matron of the only tavern in this hellhole, but supper time is over. I can heat ye some leftover fish soup, though, if ye're that hungry." The woman glares at the red-haired man over at the landing above. "Could ye do me a favor? Take these cards. They're me husband's, but all he ever does is play wiv them like a child, the lazy bum."

The tavern keeper shoves six Decamon cards into Nur's hands.

"Do we look like merchants to you, gramps?"

"*whirr* *buzz* Ha. Ha. *clank* What. A. Joke. *buzz*"

"Durr, we do sell our swords, don't we?"

"Shut it, Loewe! Gollywilkins with you!"

Avalanche says farewell to Jaws and then leaps off the boat. He approaches the group that Sarge is talking to. "Are you mercenaries then? Sellswords?"

Avalanche says farewell to Jaws and then leaps off the boat. He approaches the wereturtle and the house-elf. "Excuse me, but where might I find the Dockmaster?" He already knows who the Dockmaster is, but he wants to start a conversation.

Upon approaching the trio, Avalanche realizes they are in fact children playing with cards similar to the ones Jaws gave to Throlar.

"Oh yeah, my Lucky Rabbit beats your Glow Worm!"

"No way, luminous totally trumps icy!"

"I heard Cally Fisher's got an Ursa Minor. It's an ethereal type!"

"You're totally lying, there's no such type!"

"There is too!"

"Nuh-uh, you're full of it! But Brock's big brother got a Succubus. It's a level four fiery type!"

"Whoooaaa!"

The children are too wrapped up in the game to even hear Avalanche's question.

Throlar wandered over to Nur, having seen the snake-haired woman give him something and being curious to see what it was.

"Excuse me," he said "what did that woman give you?"

Nur lowers his left arm and briefly

the cards with one hand for Throlar to see while obscuring them from the red-haired man by turning his right side towards the man before stowing the cards in his pocket.

"Haha! May the blessing of the serpent gods be upon your husband forever. I feel he may need it soon!" Nur grinned. "These cards do seem to have the power to enthrall. I shall take care of them for you. Do ye know who created such a game?"

The young woman's eyes widen and she shirks away from Sarge. She then tries to gather the remains of her dignity.

"Excuse me! Dorothea Cansassy is nobody's servant!"

"Err, can't we just throw the old man off the pier?"

"Goshdarnit! Didn't you see the company he arrived with?"

The group of four anxiously waits for Sarge's next move.

  On 5/24/2014 at 3:24 PM, Sandy said:

"Err, can't we just throw the old man off the pier?"

"I'll bloody throw you off the pier in a minute kitty."

Having had no luck with the children, Avalanche approaches the group that Sarge is talking to. "Are you mercenaries then? Sellswords?" He hoped to alleviate the tension.

Althior was making his way up to the dock master when he heard Sarge's bickering from across the water. What part of keep it on the down low did he not understand? He rolled his eyes before seeing Avalanche make his way towards the group. He turns back on his current path as he makes his way up to the Dockmaster. "Good day, sir!" He says as he climbs his way up, "Apologies for inconveniencing you, but this is my first time this far east. I now see why this place is called Dim Haven." Althior realizes he was turning into a wordy tourist, and quickly gets himself back on subject, "Now, you wouldn't happen to know a quick way to Vega from here, would you? My associates and I have some business to conduct," He waited for the Dockmaster's reply, trying to get as much information out of him as possible.

  On 5/24/2014 at 4:57 PM, Pyrovisionary said:

"I'll bloody throw you off the pier in a minute kitty."

"Umm, are you picking a fight? My name may be Loewe the Coward, but I'm not afraid to give arrogant old men a beating."

"*clank* *cling* This. Is. Not.. Why... We... Arrrr....... Herrrrr..... *buzzzzz* *clunk*"

The metallic knight stops moving mid-speech.

"Skinny Joe! Sir Tinkerman needs winding."

"Snickerdoodle! Why does it always have to be me?!"

"Because I say so!"

"Dagnabbit..." The living scarecrow starts to wind the key at the knight's back.

He rolled his eyes before seeing Avalanche make his way towards the group. He turns back on his current path as he makes his way up to the Dockmaster.

Before Althior can make it to the landing where the Dockmaster is apparently sitting, a Pongcanis steps in his way.

"Don't bother, sir", the pongcanis says, in a surprisingly feminine voice. "The Dockmaster said he was busy sorting out his cards, whatever that means. He told me to wait until he was done, so I don't think you would have better luck with him, either. I take it you need him to open the entrance to the surface as well? I saw you and your friends arrive just now. I've been stuck here for half an hour already."

The pongcanis gives an irritated glance up at the Dockmaster, but the officer is still focusing on his cards.
