One long swim and a bad sunburn later....

((Well most of that was changing or listening so really all I did was change and speak, but the thing with the ml I don't know, if it's a problem just say it was directed at Scarlet))

Out of Character

Okay, here's how its going to work. The actions, I'm not fussed about because it wasn't truely a major action in this instance. The mind links, however I won't allow.

A dragon in Aegis can usually speak and does not need to mind link - although if it chooses, it can mind link one person at a time.

I hope this helps,

No problem, me matey's.))

Eyes widen in surprise at the odd bloke turning into a dragon

Whoa! I never said anythin' about stealin' yer ship...besides, what does a dragon want with a ship, anyways?

Looks confused, and shuffles still trying to hold Gurd up

Staggers on to the beach, oblivious to the world holding a near empty bottle of singing a bizzare version of Henry the 8th. He falls over and goes into fits of laughter

Suddenly stops laughing realising that he is not alone, Lifts his head to view the ruckus followed by a look of shock as his eyes gaze across at the minator

For a pretty lady anything but for a half dead .... er.... Cow? well thats going to cost.... Well we get to that in a sec.

Scrabbles to his feet a sways a bit. slowly makes his way over nearly falling over again.

What the devil is this.

Points at the minator

Looks at the stranger ((Other than the Dragon)) and frowns

Ain't yer worried about the dragon, over here or do you work for him?

Indicates at Pete, even though its obvious who and what he is, then looks back at Valentino

Listen, we'll forget gold for a moment, but we might have a nice little job fer yer, if you help us get to shelter away from the Aurorans...they're a little upset with us since we stole their ship an' drove it into the Aegian battleship.

Looks up at the dragon and staggers back a way. Slowly he lifts his Rum bottle and points it toward the dragon whilst asuming a duelling stance which is rather poor

Back you beast - don't worry me-lady I shall not let this beast have you for its meal - um.... do you have a sword - I seemed to of mislayed mine back at the tavern.

Laughs, unable to help herself.

I don't need lookin' after, my friend...I could probably beat you in a duel, should I needs' to.

Looks at Valentino's bottle of rum

I don't suppose you're willin' to share some of that, are yer? Whats yer name, anyways?

Looks at Scarlet for a second . waves his rum bottle in a pansy way and tucks it across his stomach whislt bowing
My name is Valentine D'Quadros, 3rd mate of the Defiant Cross, at your service.

He stands and throws his weight to far back and falls on his ass

And my rum is your rum - well whats left of it.

Grins, letting Victor carry Gurd by himself again

Aye, well a pleasure to meet yer, Valentine. Yer may of heard of me before..I'm Scarlet of the Seas.

Smirks, sitting down beside him and taking his bottle of rum. She takes a small swig then frowns looking into the bottle

Did yer drink all of this???

Well it's a pleasure to meet you seas of the scarlet.

gentle lifts scarlets arm that has the bottle and shakes it ever so slightly

It appears so. But not to worry the tavern is a short crawl from here.

Pulls himself up onto all fours and points in some vague direction

Grins, handing him his bottle back

Whilst I'd love to be goin' with you, I 'ave to go with whats left of me crew ..

Points to Gurd and Victor

He needs lookin' after. You're welcome to join us though, if you've got nothin' better to do.

Gets back up onto her feet and offers Valintine a helping hand

Pats Valintine on the shoulder and smiles

Aye, yer can expect those things, but I can't promise you'll get 'em. See, right now..we have to go an' hide. We were brave enough to invade an Icehold ball an' now the Auroran King ain't best pleased with us...

Starts to walk, following Victor and Gurd, beckoning the Dragon to follow if he wants

Well miss, if you need to lay low for a while ya come to the right place. There's a 1001 places to hide out here. No millita are stupid enough to try and muscle around Del Fuaco. I'll bet my last chip on it. Here follow my lead there is a place we can rest up - even for the dragon.

Looks up at the dragon nervously

Leads you on a ten minute walk till he reaches a fairly large waterfall. He goes around the side to a hidden caven. In side are 3 beds of straw, an up turned crate (obviously used as a table) and on it is half a bottle of Rum and a glass of ale.

This place hasn't been used in several months - the previous tenents got shot outa the water when they tried to raid a merchant ship, which turned out to be one of the queens war ships in disguise,

[[ frowns only slightly at the acquisition of yet another odd companion as they head toward the cavern. looks around the cave and nods, propping the minotaur up on a pallette of straw and settles himself at the makeshift desk.]]

Captain, you will take our new freinds out and comandeer a ship for our use, and perhaps see to it that we gain a bit more funding at the expense of the Aegis nobles and merchants.

But before you go...the tapestry...I will peice the puzzle together and when you return, we will be ready to get the last peice and be underway.

Gurd · Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 9:30 am Post subject:

A slow grumble comes from Gurd as he drifts into consciousness once more. He moves his good hand to touch the hurt shoulder, which is now bandaged, and turns his head to examine the place he's in. He's happy to see Scarlet there but not so happy about the rest of them. Especially that large thing that is moving outside the cavern.

"Wh... what happened?"

You best be resting for a while - You took a nasty wound to your sholder - as for what happened.....

Nods at Scarlet and Victor in turn

......Best be asking them.

Yer had a nasty scare there for a while, me matey. Valintine is right. Yer need to rest for a short while.

Looks at Victor and smiles slightly

I can be keepin' hold of the map for yers for now, if yer like? I'll be good at keepin' it safe.

From outside the cave comes the sound of thunderous footsteps as the huge dragon paces, unused to being ignored. He throws back his head and lets out a bloodcurdling roar before stomping away to find a clear spot to take flight from

Guest · Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2004 12:19 am Post subject:

Jumps back and faces the caves entrance

I guess we will be looking for a different ship.

places his fist under his chin with a thoughtful look across his face

Just an idea but it has come to my attention of late that there is much afoot in the these seas - alot of pirates and smugglers have set achor around here and secured most of there crew in near by stash points and caves leaving only a skeleton crew aboard their ships. It might be worth checking out these ships to see if they are.... in the market to say......but I'm not too sure how we would get close to one without getting noticed or causing too much concern.

brings up his other fist and rests it against his cheek

I leave the acquisition of the ship to those who know the trade better, as for the map, you forget Scarlet, we have but two peices, and unless you can decipher the rest of the script, we will not soon locate the third. I need the second half to find the third, and the time you take to locate a ship to decipher the mess.

Now, whilst the minotaur recovers what makes you think I am simply going to walk out of here with him acting as your scout and watch dog. leave us here and be underway, we can not afford to waste time if the combined navies wish to find us.

[[ pulls a peice of tatterred parchemtn from a thin ivory tube he carried under his cloak and lays it across the table, he turns to scarlet and waits for the second half]]

Scarlet · Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2004 4:28 am Post subject:

Rolls her eyes at Victor, hating his atttiude but knowing he makes sense. Pulling out her half of the map, she hands it reluctantly over to Victor. She gets to her feet and looks at Valentine

Yer fancy helpin' me to find a ship?

Turns to everyone else

Be sure to stay here...we'll be back. If yer's have to move..find a way to contact us. Even if its with smoke.

Gurd doesn't like a bit of what's going on around here. Who was this new human anyway? And what in the 7 seas was that creature outside the cave? The hell with it...at least it was gone. He really hates lying there like that but there was no other way. He turns to Scarlet before she leaves

"Hey captain, can you find me a real weapon in the fort? You know...a trusty BIG axe? And I must find some meat here or I will starve to death"

Even after this little nap Gurd really seems to be regaining his wits, if not his strength.
