OOC: I still need character sheets with items....maybe I can grovel at Liz and see if she can pull some stuff off of the server for me...but it doesn't look good so don't hold your breath...
IC
All of the party gathers on The Scallop an hour before noon, as directed by Ren. Liandra shows up as well, to talk to the group before she heads back to Yindarwe's ship for the voyage. The Scallop will indeed be stopping at Ashanti after a week, for just 4 hours to unload and reload cargo, and then heads on towards Northern Titalia. Yindarwe plans on staying out of port and waiting for The Scallop to pull out again before following. He does not want to risk Liandra's life in Ashanti.
Ren and Ilvanas are the first to arrive, and Ren quickly scurries to her cabin that she will share with Ilvanas to set up her paperwork to review. Katrina suddenly has an attack of shyness again, when confronted with a whole new crew that oggles at her, at Ren, at Liandra....she clings to Kothoses' arm tightly. The rooms are given out, and each room accomodates two people. Obviously Katrina, Kothoses, Ren and Ilvanas will stay with each other.
The ship prepares to leave at noon, and the woman captain pauses from her duties to give a leer of her own at some of the fine men in the party, although she seems a little awestruck of Ilvanas. Most of the crew give him a wide berth out of some sort of respect that his incredibly high charisma awards him.
When the sun is exactly overhead at noon, the captain starts preparations for leaving port....

Not sure if you dealt with this part yet, but Ferchil asked both the one that gave him the scroll (a priest or mage?) and then went to Ren to ask about Gia's child. (Forgot the exact phrasing, but wasn't it was something with "the .... one")

Kothoses by now used to dealing with the Crew of boats like this one, Takes Katrina to the Front of the boat and with a small Kiss he sits her down, then he takes out both his swords and gives a display of swordsman ship.
After about 40 mins of twirling his blades in a silver shimmering web of sharp pointed death, Kothoses put his magical swords away, Takeing Katrina by the hand he pulls her into him and glares at any of the crew who look at her in the wrong way.
Kothoses debates doing Saber Rattleing like he did the first time on the ship back from Ashanti, Fynna Katrina and Ren were left well alone then, but Kothoses knew that Ilvanas could deal with them in a much more effective way.
He took some of his herbs as the crew were prepareing to leave, thanking Katrina profusleywith quite a few kisses, for prepareing the mixture for him, he wondered though, if the call of her home would be too strong when they hit Ashanti.....
Kothoses sat legs dangling off the side, with her sat next to him, he looked round the boat to see if anyone was about to talk to.

Liandra spends quite some time with the others before it's time to leave. She thanks Krillian privately for taking her side the night before, giving him a nice kiss on the cheek and a warm hug. The rogue becomes a bit nervous at the thought of staying even outside Ashanti for a few hours, thinking it could endanger her friends if the Brotherhood finds out they're in port before they can leave. Before going back to Yindarwe's ship, Liandra makes a stop by the market, to buy a gift for her fiancee before she leaves. (platinum ring engraved with intricate designs, 100gp, thank you ever so much DM ) Once she's done, she heads back to the ship and offers her help, feeling sort of useless right now.

(Forgot the exact phrasing, but wasn't it was something with "the .... one") Neither the priest nor Ren know what the "promised one" means, although Ferchil has succeeded in making Ren have a complete twitch attack over something of interest existing in the world that she doesn't know about

Yay for Ferchil. IC: After this, Ferchil goes back to Gia and informs her about the message as they head to the druid's grove.

OOC : Can't remember what skills and feats Krillian had So i created him again trying to be as close as possible IC : Krillian actually blushes when kissed by Liandra and the sudden memory of a night long past comes back to him. He manages to stuter a little before grinning and kissing her back on the hand with a very awkward bow. He then offers her his arm before continuing to the port and Yindarwe's boat. "Another boat !" thinks a grinning Krillian as he reaches the ship, happy to be on with the adventure at last. It seemed like weeks to him that they had been here but it was in fact only a few days. So many things had happened though. Memories he would keep all his life, some good some bad. He smiles and pats his paunch. "Time for some ale and some meat" he thinks grinning, and heads for his cabine to unpack. OOC : are we sharing cabines ? If so who is the lucky one who tryes to fit in with a 6"3 large priest ? After a not so delicate but filling meal he heads for the bridge either to play cards with the others or to fish somewhat.

Thamior makes certain that Stormshadow has proper accomodations with the livestock on board and joins the others on deck, just in time to watch a display of swordskill by Kothoses. Noticing the rhythm with which he deftly twirls the blades, Tham begins sofly playing on his lute in time with the swordplay, almost as though Kothoses were directing. When he sees the protective manner that Koth has with Katrina, he smiles, thinking that anyone would have to be a fool to try their luck with this swordsman. He enjoys the sea air and the song of the gulls while he waits to get underway.

As Kothoses is sword swirling he hears the tune from Thamiors lute, and moves his swords to match the strangley hypnotic rrythm it was almost as if the music helped his balance, and his awareness.
As he finished they head over to the bard, Kothoses remembers how well Katrina got along with Xarthas, and he wonders if Thamior may be able to help bring her out a little "amazeing playing my friend, where did you learn the lute like that?" Kothoses asks almost reverently.

Krillian laughs at Kothoses display of fighting prowess, knowing what effect it had on the sailors. The captain passed again in the priests sight and he noticed her "interest" in his friend as he performed his deadly dance. Deciding that he couldn't let his friend have any trouble Krillian moved towards her. "It's normal to sacrifice ones self for a friend" he grins as he nears her.
"My dear Captain" he says with a bow and a smile making sure she notices how he looks her up, "my name is Krilian Darwaters priest of Jusilin. I must say i m surprised to find such a beautiful woman as yourself captain of this fine vessel."

OOC: The captain wasn't really looking at Kothoses with interest, Krillian heh More at you and Orn and Thamior, iirc the charismas of all concerned (charisma here being a combination of looks and presence, of course). She looks at Ilvanas too, but mostly is too awestruck by him to do much. Plus Ren'd have a daggar in her heart in two seconds and then who would captain the ship? But since you're talking to her.... IC: The captain raises an eyebrow at Krillian, running a hand through her short blonde hair. "All priests of Jusilin are silver tongued devils, in my experience. They're also all damned good in bed, in my experience. Would you say this is true?" She gives him a wicked grin at that. Katrina admires Kothoses' display of swordsmanship, and has eyes only for him. She seems to enjoy Thamior's music, and follows Kothoses over to him shyly when he starts up a conversation with the bard. Thamior notices that Katrina is an especially lovely but bashful redhead, dressed in the typical Antirian garb (as is Ren) of the small bikini like top, midriff bared with a belly chain, and skirt made of a lightweight material, slits up to the hips on either side. Antirians were never known for modesty...although Antirians are also known for boldness, and Thamior guesses that this Katrina could not be an Antirian native with as much as she flushes. The ship leaves port. It being a cloudy day and choppy waters, Kothoses becomes very glad he is chock full of seasickness preventative and still feels a little out of sorts despite it. Within moments, Yindarwe's ship leaves port as well, following behind. The captain looks away from Krillian for a moment, frowning at the other ship shadowing them, then shaking her head and sighing.

The tang of salt was thick in Orn's nostrils as he took his first step aboard the ship. It took him a moment to find his balance, as a particularly large wave took that moment to nudge against the ship's side, causing it to list slightly. With one foot still on the gangplank, Orn stumbled forward onto the ship, just barely managing to keep from falling forward onto his face. (That low Dex. *shakes his head*)
Several of the sailors laugh at the sight, but one of them offers a hand to the priest to help him up, his eyes gleaming with mirth, "I'm a-guessing thizziz yer first time ona ship, eh, me lad?"
Orn accepted the hand and stood, trying his best to maintain his distinguished appearance with his bags and robes half snarled around his legs, "Why, yes it is. Was it that obvious?" he remarked with a small grin.
At this, all the sailors gave another chorus of rasping laughter, and the man who had helped Orn slaps him on the back, again nearly sending Orn to the deck in a heap, "Dontcha worry a thing, me lad. Ye'll get yer sea legs under ya inna day or two. Just sit back and enjoy the ride." he chortles.
Orn readjusted his gear as the sailors pulled the gangplank aboard and shouted to the helmsman to weigh anchor. Although his ears burned slightly from the sailor's laughter, he couldn't help watching the proceedings with an interested gaze. He had seen ships before, but this was his first chance to observe one up close. Judging by the way the others quickly dispersed to various areas on the ship, he guessed they were old hands at this mode of travel. Slinging his pack over his shoulder, he made his way to the stair below deck, proud that he only stumbled once along the way.
It took Orn only a little while to find his cabin, since it was the only one that wasn't locked yet. It was a cramped affair, with the solitary bunk taking up nearly half the room. Still, at least there was a porthole in the wall, and Orn gratefully opened the small aperture to try and disperse the sour smell of vomit and urine that still lingered in the room. There seemed to be no cupboards available, so he simply placed his bag of potions and healing equipment on the floor, wedging it securely under the bunk to make sure it wouldn't roll about during stormy weather. Which, judging by the way the ship rolled in the waves, wouldn't be far off.
A particularly high crest made Orn grab on to the door handle as he tried to make his way to the passage. His stomach lurched slightly with the motion, and he closed his eyes as he remembered the advice that one of the older Brothers had told him. What was it? Ah yes, roll with the motion. Orn tried it, and though he felt funny half waddling down the hallway, it did make him feel better.
Back on the deck, Orn makes his way to the bow of the ship, standing in the prow and gazing out over the horizon. The grey mass of stormclouds made it difficult to tell where the sea ended and the sky began, but it seemed a fitting backdrop for their quest. "And so we sail off into the unknown," Orn murmured.

Thamior bows to Kothoses and says with a smile, "My family have been performers for many generations, but your performance with the swords outshines my simple melody. The dance of your blades had a rhythm which cried out for a tune to give it life, and so I had no choice, but to make such an offer as was mine to give. Skill such as yours must have been many years in the making. The lute....I play to honor my father. It is a simple instrument, but was his favorite. It has become mine, as well. And who is your lovely lady? Enchanted, my dear," he says to Katrina. "Have you the same skill with a sword as your beloved?"

He grins just as wickedly straight back at her a twincle in his eye. Leaning back against a rail he looks into her eyes and says "Aha ! A girl after my own heart. Well "captain" " he whispers puting some presure on the word "We priests of Jusilin are trained to be the best. It's my job to show and give pleasure....And i take pleasure in my work" he winks at her and nears her, staring at her body quite obviously. "But ...As you must know priests of Jusilin are good liars ...So i suppose you won't beleive me when i say i am probably the best you have ever or will ever meet." he grins and stops a few inches separating them. "Do you have an idea on how i could prove my abilities to you ?" he asks.
OOC : Krillian will share the cabin with Orn if he doesn't mind. Have you ever seen two priests so different ? lol
