by Leafiara Autumnwind of the TownCrier

Summary

Mayor Thadston and Amos meet over what to do about the krolvin warlord Tyrrax, who wants Amos turned over to him due to Amos' warships attacking his fleet. One of the warships has departed the Landing area, as Amos says his courier Ivorel is searching for information.

People relay information about how Tyrrax's shackles control Kharusa and Amos summons his firefly Celladonna to confirm with everyone that they look like a destroyed pair in her possession.

Amos says he'll meet Tyrrax on three conditions: many accompany him to the Black Sands to be ready and prepared, Thadston isn't allowed to accompany them, and Amos gets to keep the shackles. Thadston says that if Amos uses the shackles against citizens in any wrong fashion, he'll kill him after snapping his fireflies' necks, but other than that, he agrees.

Terse Greetings

[Town Square Central]

This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see the Loggor disk, the faenor Chandrellia disk inlaid with intersecting bands of jet, the Kiyna disk, the Lankas disk, a fluffy white cat, the Vaemyr disk, the Kezoku disk, the Dwi disk, the Nyaria disk, the Kisun disk, an unstable lake spirit that is flying around, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the black Braugi disk, the Rickpickerman disk, the translucent Nairena disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a small wild rice and millet cake laced with maple syrup, some wolifrew lichen, some wolifrew lichen, a silver-traced carved mahogany cart with some stuff on it, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin and some wide stone benches with some stuff on it.

Also here: Eyona, Loggor, Town Councilor Chandrellia, Kiyna, Gutstorm, Lankas, High Lord Kezoku, Vaemyr, Town Councilor Pukk, Dwi, Conquerer of Reim Kayse, Lord Asben, Stormyrain, Blades, Jaffrey, Kisun, Lady Nyaria, Whahmo, Omarian, Town Councilor Leafiara, Lord Braugi who is sitting, Rickpickerman, Magister Raelee, Mikasaa

[General] Amos thinks, "Greetings."

Speaking heartily to Pukk, Dwi says, "I splain'd thing to him."

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Good evening Amos."

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Amos we wanna meet at yoo warehose."

Kezoku says, "What's the party for."

[General] Thadston thinks, "Look who was able to pull himself away from the mirror."

Tayler says, "Death or politics."

Tayler says, "Not sure which is worse."

Kezoku says, "Sounds halfway interesting."

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "And evening to you Mayor."

Nairena asks, "The mayor?"

[General] Gutstorm jokingly thinks, "Oh great, anudder lubbersh shpat."

Leafiara says, "Well, we're off to a promising start."

Dwi whispers to the group, "If'n we are bery bery sneeky...we kin ditch Gutstorm."

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "Amos, Mayor. Evening to you both."

Kezoku says, "I'm curious."

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "Going with five." [regarding a betting pool of how many chairs and windows get broken tonight]

Nyaria quietly says, "Well this should be interesting."

Lankas says, "Shots fired even before the meeting."

Dwi whispers to the group, "He duno Imma follerin ye...shhh."

Nyaria quietly says, "Glad i got my popcorn."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Stormyrain says, "Three."

Lankas says, "To many arrows launched."

[General] Kayse affably greets, "Fair evening, Amos."

Stormyrain says, "Two windows and a chair."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kiyna says, "Two."

Pukk says, "Oh good idea."

[General] Kayse adds, "And the Mayor."

[General] Amos thinks, "I am at the North Docks, where there are both no chairs, or windows."

Leafiara says, "How we've come to the scenario where one night Thadston's chewing out the councilors for a presumed grudge against Amos and the next night he's taunting Amos as a means of greeting, well... welcome to the Landing."

[General] Pukk thinks, "We need all the towns people to avoid walking by Moot Hall in case chairs or people are thrown through windows."

Leafiara says, "To the docks it is."

Leafiara recites:

"Join up"

Peggyanne says, "Everyone said i should attend these meetings since i have so much to say."

[General] Chandrellia asks, "Something worrying you Amos?"

Leafiara recites:

"Moving in five..."

Leafiara recites:

"To the docks..."

Tayler exclaims, "One!"

Lankas says, "Only in the landing."

Kisun says, "Two the docks.."

Leafiara recites:

"And away."

Speaking heartily to Pukk, Dwi says, "Dibs onna da desks."

[Wehnimer's, North Dock]

The dock's planks are dull and weathered from the salt spray of many seasons. Northward beyond the massive sea gates, a flock of ice geese passes, silhouetted against the sky over the waters of Darkstone Bay. The hulk of a derelict coastal sailer is tethered to the end of the pier. You also see the Nyaria disk, an unstable lake spirit that is flying around, the Kiyna disk, the Vaemyr disk, a huge grey imperial warship, a huge grey imperial warship, a huge grey imperial warship, a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship, a wide ramp, a stack of empty crates, a portly portmaster and a black imperial wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it.

Also here: Lady Nyaria, Magister Raelee, Kiyna, Gutstorm, Conquerer of Reim Kayse, Lord Asben, Stormyrain, Blades, Vaemyr, Lord Amos

Amos grins.

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "Appeciate the help of the ships the other night, the plinite powered pylons were quite impressive."

Amos says, "Good evening."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot sho good bout it."

Braugi squeakily asks, "What's the plan?"

Tayler asks, "Weren't there four ships?"

Speaking drunkenly to Blades, Gutstorm whispers aloud, "Dish da feller Shtormy pinesh over."

Dwi heartily says, "Still tree boats..dey aint done loaded da treasurey yet."

Amos grins at Vaemyr.

Tayler says, "We seem to have lost one."

Tayler gazes thoughtfully at a huge grey imperial warship.

Blades says, "Yes, i can't stop hearing his names it seems."

Amos says, "There are few greater pleasures than adding bloated krolvin corpses to the bay."

Amos nods at Vaemyr.

Vaemyr nods at Amos.

Kiyna says, "Aye. One of his ships left earlier this evening."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne asks, "Really?"

Lankas asks, "Where is the fourth ship?"

Tayler says, "I must have slept through that."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "I find that to be one the most enjoyable experiences."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh I must agree, in that remark, and quite a pleasures comes with words."

Dwi whispers to the group, "Oh...good we kin whisper stuff bout Cappin Stormy anna Misser Blades..dey kin hear us...so keep it down...when ye think dey gittin hitched? I think summer."

Amos asks, "Is the Mayor lost?"

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne asks, "I've dumped at least a thousand krol corpses into the Cauldron... how about you?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "He prolly nookin ferra chair."

Kayse offers, "Maybe he's bringing some chairs with him."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh no, I'm sure he is just looking for a portable chair."

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Amos says, "It must be time consuming to bid his farewells to two different people."

Speaking drunkenly to Kayse, Gutstorm slurs, "Great mindsh eh?"

Speaking to Peggyanne, Leafiara professes, "For someone who kills even more pirates than me, I'd have thought it would all be a bit dull and routine to you by now, but... well, glad you're still taking pleasure in it at least, I guess."

Amos nods at Vaemyr.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "So, find anything interesting along the coast lately?"

Nairena whispers to the group, "The real question is when are you going to find a good dwarf and marry him, Dwi?"

Peggyanne whispers to the group, "Him?"

Amos says, "The Courier is completing his work."

Amos nods at Chandrellia.

Tayler whispers to the group, "There are good dwarves?"

Peggyanne whispers to the group, "Who says she'd marry a male?"

Mayor Thadston just came marching in.

Vaemyr says, "That's good the hear."

Speaking to Amos, Kisun asks, "Storehouse work?"

Dwi whispers to the group, "Imma Shieldmaiden! Fer life!"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "Aahhh I see, anything you want to share with the citizens about it? or will this be like the Baystone again?"

Amos says, "We will know more soon."

Amos nods at Kisun.

Amos says, "Ah, Mayor."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Thats what I thought."

Amos says, "Finally."

Lankas says, "Evening, Mayor sir."

Amos smirks at Chandrellia.

Speaking heartily to her golvern greatshield, Dwi says, "I do."

Amos says, "Nothing has changed, since last we spoke."

Amos nods at Chandrellia.

Nairena whispers to the group, "I dont know how she swings. I can only assume using social nroms."

Dwi whispers to the group, "Der? nuff ceremony?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh well that is great to hear."

Amos says, "Ivorel will be completing his records, and will come with more information for us. Then we can decide our next plan of action from there."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "Who is this we, you speak of?"

Amos says, "Contrary to half of this town's historical behavior, I will not allow us to run head first into unknown danger."

Lankas asks, "Is Ivorel your courier?"

Amos nods at Lankas.

Lankas nods.

Lankas says, "Thank you."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me really wish Thaddy brotta chair, me need to park me bum."

Thadston says, "Chairs can be arranged."

Vaemyr says, "I think primarily, we are trying to figure out our course of action for this next Day of the Huntress tonight."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Kisun says, "Just flatten out that cat, and get a nice cushion outta it."

Amos says, "I have already heard of what the aspiring warlord is seeking."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "My word travels fast."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne asks, "My spear in his neck?"

Speaking to Peggyanne, Kisun says, "Would be nice to see."

Amos grins at Chandrellia.

Amos says, "Councilor, there is no passing of wind, or blinking of an eye, that occurs in this town without my knowledge."

Speaking to a fluffy tabby cat, Tayler says, "Don't worry. I won't let the dwarf turn you into a chair."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We know ye got croniesh."

Amos says, "You would do well to remember that before ruling by emotion."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Hmm yet you told us you had no clue about the parlay, yet, nothing pases thru town with out you knowing, interesting."

Amos nods at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Just making an observation, sir."

Amos grins.

Peggyanne says, "Emotion doesnt win wars.... it starts them."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kayse reminds, "He was away when that was arranged. He has been back for a few days."

Thadston says, "We get it Amos. You think you're important."

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "Shall we get right to it? I think things are primarily in your court if you'd be willing to lay a trap for Tyrrax or not."

Thadston asks, "So if you know of the talk, and our discussion, where do you stand?"

Chandrellia says, "Yes and birds travel fast."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kayse adds, "Also, I sent him a missive."

Speaking quietly to Goldstr, Dwi says, "I wanna work fer yer "pay attention tours"."

Tayler says, "Perhaps we should not speak so openly of traps... the ocean has eyeballs, who's to say it doesn't have ears."

Amos says, "I see your one and only campaign promise has not occured yet, given those shards still deep in your arm."

Amos asks, "Is that why you still keep her at arm's length?"

Amos smirks.

Thadston asks, "I wonder, if I flay the skin off your body, will the tattoos still work?"

Thadston says, "We could find out."

Amos holds his sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me got dibsh on him tattoosh."

Blades says, "Now we definitely need chairs."

Xorus dryly says, "One does wonder if those kroderine shards might be of use on the halfling's chains."

Vaemyr says, "Gentlemen, the town first, squables later."

Raelee mentions, "... it would likely depend upon the depth of the inking and how the magic is bound to the body..."

Speaking to Blades, Kisun says, "An popcorn."

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain murmurs, "I didn't grab any popcorn, either."

Amos says, "I have not seen you so spirited since...well, you enjoyed the spirits."

Chandrellia asks, "Ok seriously, can we worry about the Haflling and our militia member still aboard the Krolvins ship?"

Thadston glances at Amos.

Thadston twists his head slightly, cracking his neck. He looks relieved.

Thadston nods.

Speaking drunkenly to Xorus, Gutstorm slurs, "No Mishesh Xorus?"

Peggyanne says, "Im hearing a lot of talk and not seeing very much action. Can we stop tugging on one another and get to the point..."

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr asks, "May I ask, one of yer warships sailed out today. To retriev da item da Krol wants?"

About Kharusa

Amos says, "Tell me of Kharusa."

Nairena says, "I dont know... maybe set aside your bickering so that we might sort out this mess and the mess thats coming towards us in a few days."

Amos grins at Goldstr.

Speaking to Gutstorm, Xorus says, "She is held up at the moment, I think."

Amos says, "Indeed, it sailed out. I am afraid I cannot discuss such matters so openly."

Amos nods at Goldstr.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Awww, come on Amos, we all frensh here!"

Vaemyr says, "She's a halfling mentalist, she seems to need to touch people to exert the full strength of her power, and it umm... tends to explode peoples heads when done."

Amos says, "Do not be alarmed. Three is plenty to remain. Only one was utilized nights ago against the krol."

Peggyanne says, "We can take refuse on The Mermaid.... my crew will take the watch."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "The halfling is a mentalist, and is being controled and held againsther wishes by Tyrrax."

Vaemyr says, "She's also a slave of Tyrrax, the warlord, and only tells him answers to exact questions that he asks."

Speaking simply to Amos, Kayse says, "She is not that strong of a mentalist it seems. Guarding your mind works well against her."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Iffin ye really get dem warchipsh der da town, dunt da town should be know where one go?"

Amos nods at Kayse.

Amos says, "Interesting."

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi asks, "Anna how fulla silber it was?"

Xorus says, "... she claims to have failed on no one else."

Pukk says, "Xorus' mind is probably a gigantic maze and that is why that halfling had trouble."

Amos says, "I had heard something along those lines."

Earthdiver says, "Tyrrax controls her with a set of enruned truthsaying shackles...that will harm her if she leaves his side for too long."

Stormyrain offers, "I would say she is also unhoned, since she cannot control her power enough to avoid killing those she is reading."

Amos says, "Tell me more of these, answers she must give."

Gutstorm whispers something to Dwi.

Amos points at Earthdiver.

Earthdiver cocks his head at Amos.

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "She is chained by some type of magical restraints, they glow different colors if she tells the truth or not to Tyrrax."

Kiwoeachi asks, "Ya'll come here often?"

Earthdiver says, "They glow different colors if she lies, or tells the truth."

Kiyna says, "If he asks her a direct question, and she tells the truth... the chains, or the runes upon them, glow blue."

Speaking squeakily to Dwi, Braugi asks, "What horrible disgusting version of common are you two speaking?"

Amos says, "I wonder..."

Chandrellia whispers to the group, "Only give enough to keep him happy, if he gets to much he may want her for himself, and as we all know, she can be used as a weapon."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Nebber."

Tayler says, "Only when there's drama."

Kiyna asks, "If she lies, or perhaps just tries to misdirect, they are... green, was it?"

Earthdiver says, "They are from the Alchemist."

Lankas says, "Yeah they went green when she was lying."

Kiyna says, "And they glowed red when she was taken from his presence. Much longer and Tyrrax claims they'd have killed her."

Vaemyr says, "Aye like Kiyna said, blue for turth, green for lies, and red if she is too far away and they begin to kill her it seems."

Amos nods in one direction, and a woman in a hooded blue cloak, with curls of green hair curling out from beneath the cowl, comes walking into view. She stands near Amos, face concealed by her cloak.

Amos says, "The shackles..."

Amos asks, "Did they look like these?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Put em on sho we can make shore dey werk."

The woman beside Amos pulls out a link of rune-etched alloy chains from her cloak. They are battered, scorched, and seem damaged beyond any real use.

Earthdiver says, "They are rune-etched alloy chains."

Earthdiver says, "Yes."

Vaemyr says, "They did."

Amos asks, "These?"

Earthdiver says, "Just like those...at least from this distance."

Amos nods.

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "Aye."

Kiyna says, "If those aren't the chains, they do look awfully similar."

Amos nods to the woman, "Thank you Celladonna." Without another word, the woman slips off into the crowd and the cover of night.

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr asks, "I see you've freed someone from those before then?"

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "Who.."

Kisun asks, "Who was that?"

Amos grins at Vaemyr.

Amos says, "One of my fireflies."

Amos nods at Kisun.

Speaking to Vaemyr, Chandrellia asks, "Does she look free to you?"

Speaking to Kisun, Peggyanne asks, "Celladonna?"

Amos glances at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Kisun, Peggyanne says, "Of course.."

Kiwoeachi says, "Empty mind means I ain't makin no coin."

Amos says, "Mind your tongue councilor. My fireflies are more free than this entire town."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Vaemyr says, "Yes she does, free to make her own choices."

Speaking to Peggyanne, Kiwoeachi says, "I love fireflies."

Tayler says, "Not as free as a river rat, though."

Speaking abruptly to Amos, Raelee asks, "... you know how to destroy them, but do you know how they work?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh, sorry, sir, I'll mind my tongue."

Dwi heartily says, "Mind yer tongue, mind yer tongue..."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "I dont think I like your tone."

Thadston says, "You never answered our question Amos."

Thadston says, "Get to it. We're not here to play in your court.";;;

Zurya says, "Holding chains is better than wearing them."

[General] Nyaria asks, "Might i get someone to voln to heal a dead Omarian please?"

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Cut ye way out witta dagger."

Amos grins at Raelee.

Speaking heartily to Chandrellia, Dwi says, "Mind it dont choke ye frem not sayin wotcha want to say."

Amos says, "I know many things Magister."

Speaking to Amos, Raelee says, "So do I, but that does not answer the question."

Speaking to Dwi, Chandrellia asks, "I may end up biting it in half, good thing I'm a healer eh?"

Amos says, "I think it did."

Peggyanne asks, "I could have a fleet of warship here in minutes... and this clown makes disguised threats to our leaders?"

Amos' Conditions

Amos says, "I will agree to meet the krolvin warlord on the evening of Feastday."

Amos says, "However..."

Amos says, "I have some conditions."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Knew that was coming."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "Let's hear them, then."

Dwi heartily says, "Mind yer tongue."

Speaking lightly to Amos, Kayse says, "I am sure the Mayor is waiting in anticipation to hear them."

Speaking to Peggyanne, Tayler says, "Noble as your fleet may be, they are not equipped with plinite weaponry."

Thadston smirks at Kayse.

Thadston says, "Here we go."

Speaking to Tayler, Kisun exclaims, "Yet!"

Speaking to Tayler, Kisun says, "If there's a way, Peggy will find it."

Kiwoeachi says, "I'm hoping to get some shoes from Leafi."

Amos says, "First, the initial meeting will take place on the Black Sands. You will all accompany me, for the initial hand off."

Peggyanne says, "I am in command of many well trained and salty sailors."

Speaking wryly to Kiwoeachi, Leafiara says, "You could have asked at any time over thoughts."

Goldstr asks, "Hand off?"

Vaemyr says, "I think that is reasonable."

Speaking to Thadston, Stormyrain offers, "Reasonable first request."

Nairena asks, "Whats being handed off?"

Speaking to Nairena, Stormyrain says, "He is."

Kayse says, "Amos is."

Speaking to Nairena, Kisun says, "Amos."

Amos says, "I suspect they will want me on their ship. Which will be fine. But you will all be ready, and prepared."

Goldstr says, "Ahh."

Speaking to Amos, Kisun asks, "How would we make it onto their ship, should the need arise?"

Amos says, "Ayred is already resting and prepared to wedge their portal as soon as possible. Under no condition willl that warlord be allowed into my mind. We will spill krolvin blood, and we will save Kharusa."

Pukk whispers something to Xorus.

Amos says, "Secondly, Thadston is not allowed to go with us."

Stormyrain asks, "And the scholar?"

Amos says, "Mayor, you are emotional, irrational, and heated. You will only jeopardize the mission."

Thadston asks, "Is this because of the last mission?"

Thadston smirks.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Vaemyr says, "We will do as planned I hope, and exchange Amos for the scholor in the first place."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "He shayin yer a lunatic."

Zurya says, "And Rian?"

Amos says, "No."

Earthdiver says, "There is also the militiaman - Rian."

Speaking heartily to Thadston, Dwi says, "But I kin still go."

Nazca melodically asks, "Ooo a mission of some sort?"

Earthdiver says, "His notes may be important."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Vaemyr says, "So that the scholor is freed before this all starts."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna asks, "I believe Thadston's policy has been to stay in down to defend it from surprise attack. So I suppose that works out, no?"

Amos says, "Yes, the scholar. We will save them both, and any other slaves the may have aboard. Citizens or not."

Stormyrain says, "I was not aware that was on the table, I thought Tyrrax was asking for Amos as repayment for the lost ships."

Amos says, "The final condition..."

Amos says, "The shackles will be mine."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Chandrellia says, "I can assure anything that has changed, has not come from the councilors."

Thadston glances at Amos.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Nairena says, "Then Tyrrax will have some of what he wants."

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "For what purposes? Shackles like those should be destroyed."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Those shackles shold be destroyed."

Xorus dryly says, "How familiar that sounds."

Amos says, "Those are my conditions."

Kiyna says, "Curious..."

Tayler says, "Seems reasonable."

Amos says, "Consider my decision shrouded in secrecy, with the impromptu charade of a public discussion, and now I have voted, and this is where I stand."

Amos smirks at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "I see, and what do you want with the shackles?"

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "As long as they are removed from Kharusa, I do not mind those conditions myself."

Amos nods at Vaemyr.

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "Should they not agree to those conditions you lose the only leverage you had for those shackles.. its a lose lose scenario."

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr says, "I will only come to protect wid da Mayor's approval."

Amos says, "There is no losing scenario when I am involved."

Amos nods at Peggyanne.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Keep in mind there is a process, you need to fill out paper work in triplets, and then send those off to the Mayor, the Clerk and the Marshal, to be filed, and someone will be with you in about 10 - 14 buiness days."

Stormyrain whispers something to Thadston.

Thadston whispers something to Stormyrain.

Earthdiver says, "It's not like the shackles are ours to decide their fate. I think it is safe to say, whomever takes whatever from Tyrrax is theirs to keep."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "Then you toy with our town.... since you clearly have means to get your little alloy toys anyhow."

Speaking heartily to Goldstr, Dwi says, "Could be some fun choppin tho."

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Stormyrain whispers something to Thadston.

Amos nods at Vaemyr.

Thadston sighs at Stormyrain.

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna asks, "I have a question. Of clarification. The shackles you had Celladonna show us were broken beyond function. Is that the same fate you intend for Kharusa's shackles?"

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kisun says, "Oof da paperworks."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Of coursh not Kiyna."

Tayler says, "I suspect he desires a more functional pair."

Amos says, "The shackles are only as wicked as their owner."

Chandrellia says, "If Amos means to see the shackles dispelled beyond reoair I'll agree."

Earthdiver says, "Maybe he wants to wear them...to live out a more honest and open life...and improve the lives of those around him."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "The same could be said about many weapons."

Pukk says, "Amos wants to profit. The shackles will be his profit. If he breaks them then he is just wasting his time."

Stormyrain whispers something to Thadston.

Stormyrain folds her hands behind her back.

Tayler says, "As the conditions are laid out, they seem reasonable."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "I believe that. I even understand the idea of keeping them as a trophy, as I suspect you've done with the previous pair."

Amos says, "I am sure you can see the value in clarity and truth, things the shackles can provide."

Amos says, "That makes them valuable."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Are ye really dat hard up ferra girlfriend?"

Tayler asks, "I suppose a certain Krolvin may find himself in such a set?"

Amos glances at Gutstorm.

Speaking to Amos, Kisun asks, "What truth is it that you seek?"

Amos says, "It matters not at this time."

Amos asks, "Are these conditions agreed upon then?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "Just like your boat along the coast right?"

Speaking to Thadston, Goldstr exclaims, "Sir Andrews I will act on yer orders ONLY!"

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "Toss in one of them pylons for Peggy's ships, and we gots a deal.."

Amos says, "You will all accompany me to the sands, and be prepared to board the ship when the trap is sprung. Thadston will not accompany us, and the shackles are mine. The halfing and scribe we will attempt to save."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "If Thadston agrees, I'll back him and the town, but you, are on your own if anything goes down."

Kiyna says, "I'm not the one making the decision, but I don't see any issue with these conditions."

Speaking to Kisun, Peggyanne says, "The Mermaid would prosper greatly from that kind of weaponry."

Thadston glances at Amos.

Speaking to Amos, Kisun asks, "Will there be a signal the trap has sprung? How will we know besides them throwing yer corpse overboard?"

Earthdiver says, "I will accompany you to aid Kharusa and the militiaman."

Kayse agrees, "I think it is reasonable, but it is not my decision either."

Speaking to Thadston, Vaemyr says, "Well Mayor, what say you, I do think this is our best option at getting Rian back, and learning what he knows, not to mention rescuing Kharusa and learning what she knows as well."

Speaking drunkenly to Dwi, Gutstorm slurs, "No idear how me got dish."

Amos says, "You will all accompany me."

Amos nods at Kisun.

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "But not on board.."

Lankas exclaims, "Not mee!"

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "It smells alrite."

Amos says, "Yes you will."

Speaking to Kisun, Vaemyr says, "We will be following through the portal."

Lankas says, "I stay in town."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kisun says, "Ahh."

Thadston nods at Pukk.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "No like?"

Speaking to himself, Kisun says, "I gets it now."

Amos asks, "Well Mayor?"

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi asks, "Prolley stain yer teef?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "No, if you we agree to your terms that you have set just now then that is it, if someone does not wish to go that is their choice, just like it is, your, choice to do this."

Kisun says, "Ooh."

Speaking to Peggyanne, Kisun exclaims, "Nice!"

Kisun says, "Save that one.."

Thadston says, "Use these shackles against our people in any wrong fashion. I'll kill you Amos."

Thadston says, "Right after I make you watch me snap every last firefly's neck first."

Speaking to Thadston, Peggyanne says, "If you can beat me to it."

Thadston says, "Other than that, I'll agree to the conditions."

Amos grins.

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "I would believe him if I were you. I saw him throw a chair out the window."

Speaking to Kisun, Chandrellia says, "You do not have to go on that ship if you choose not to, just like Amos didnt have to agree to this if he didnt want to, the choice is yours as it was his."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kisun says, "Oh I'm going on the ship.."

Amos says, "The threats of violence are not necessary to continue to validate your worth. Yes, you have no one left, but it isn't necessary."

Amos nods at Thadston.

Thadston begins to twitch.

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "It's gotta kick...but no affer taste."

Amos seems to be waiting for something.

Thadston slowly empties his lungs.

Kiwoeachi exclaims, "Die!"

Vaemyr says, "Alright, no need for this to go further."

Valdorin deeply says, "What she said."

Thadston says, "I believe we've accomplished all we need to this night."

Kiwoeachi says, "Welp time to get back to sinking krolvin ships."

Nairena says, "Excuse me.."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "You know, I'm now wondering whose face would look better on Vlashandra, yours, or Octavia's."

Thadston says, "Feastday evening."

Kiwoeachi says, "Don't get notorious standing around talking about it."

Vaemyr asks, "Feastday, not Huntress?"

Thadston says, "I hope after the slaves are rescued, the shackles drag you to the bottom of the bay."

Earthdiver asks, "What time?"

Thadston nods at Amos.

Mayor Thadston just marched off to the west.

Nairena says, "We seem to be forgetting something."

Speaking to Amos, Peggyanne says, "Who is your tailor.. I really must know."

Amos smirks.

Vaemyr says, "Feastday it is."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Have a wonderful Wehnimer's day."

Xorus says, "There is a valuable pyramid at the bottom of that Bay."

Nairena says, "The blue wave or whatever its called."

Nairena says, "The recipe."

Goldstr says, "I hte da Krol but will nae engage dem without our Mayor's blesin."

The voice of Dwi heartily says, "Luck."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kisun asks, "Did they mention when we would be able to venture to the storehouses?"

Speaking to Xorus, Vaemyr asks, "Practicing your diving to go visit it?"

Blades asks, "That was success?"

Speaking to Vaemyr, Xorus says, "Golems."

Speaking to Kisun, Chandrellia says, "No, that got bypassed conviently."

Kiwoeachi says, "Great times."

Nairena says, "Any luck finding it because Tyrrax isnt going to be very happy if we dont show up with it."

Speaking to Xorus, Vaemyr says, "Reasonable, if they can operate under the pressure."

Speaking dryly to Blades, Kayse says, "Seemed so...."

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain says, "No one is dead, and there was not a fight that was so great that we have to repair buildings. So yes."

Xorus says, "It has been done before."

Preparations

Amos asks, "We are done then, ye?"

Blades says, "Well, i do hope that changes."

Speaking to Nairena, Kiyna says, "I expect Tyrrax will also be displeased when we storm his ship and take his slaves."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "I do have a question."

Kiwoeachi says, "Food is done, people are finished."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Nairena says, "A blood bath either way."

Speaking drunkenly to Blades, Gutstorm slurs, "Dish feller da only feller me eber met cockier den yoo and him not even an elf."

Amos says, "As he should be."

Nairena says, "Fun."

Speaking to Kiwoeachi, Zurya asks, "But you finish your dinner. Right?"

Nairena says, "More stuff to kill."

Peggyanne asks, "Who doesnt like a good bloodbath?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "We the citizens were wondering if we culd take a peek within your warehouses."

Kiwoeachi says, "That' would be my action."

Kiwoeachi says, "Not the foods."

Amos says, "Be ready for war. We will bring it to them."

Amos asks, "The Alchemist's warehouses I acquired?"

Amos peers quizzically at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Peggyanne, Nairena says, "Except Tyrrax can mantle Amos's head on the front of his ship afterwards."

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "Yes."

Amos says, "They are not here. As I informed you all nights ago."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "However many you may happen to have within the walls of Landing."

Blades says, "I suspect this truce will be over very soon. Dogs don't understand peace anyways."

Kiwoeachi exclaims, "Back to the man o war!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Ye need to lower da pricesh on dem glash amuletsh, me buy em in bulk."

Speaking to Nairena, Kayse offers, "Perhaps some gratitude that he is even agreeing to go along with this?"

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain says, "Seems as if that's true, since we're planning on breaking it in a few days."

Amos says, "The krol know no peace, nor should they be allowed to."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Kiyna says, "Aye. The warehouses are not in the Landing."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Wee we are looking for a small wooden box, that when you open it, play a sweet tune."

Braugi squeakily asks, "I agree, why don't we take the fight to them?"

Gutstorm picks up an iron-bound tanik coffer.

Gutstorm sings with jollity:

"Yoink"

Speaking to Kisun, Peggyanne says, "My crew are eager for battle."

Speaking to Amos, Kisun says, "It matters not what land they're on. When will we get to search them."

Speaking to Kayse, Nairena says, "Something about this doesn't add up. It stinks of trickery. But this is your town and I have no problem defending it."

Amos says, "When my courier returns with further details of the warehouses to the south, we'll discuss and plan from there. Ivorel is a smart man, and he has been very careful and meticilous when trying to move beyond Praxopius's wards."

Speaking drunkenly to a white-bellied inky black marmoset, Gutstorm slurs, "Me can do shame ting."

Amos says, "It has not been easy, and it has been a painfully slow process."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh I'm sure he has."

Amos says, "Not impossible, but slow."

Speaking to Nairena, Kayse reasons, "They are reasonable requests and he is assisting us."

Stormyrain asks, "If we defeat Tyrrax will it even be an issue? The formula can stay lost--can it not?"

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "Hopefully, when he returns we will have some additional ideas, or options to assist in that endeavor."

Amos says, "When we know more, you are all permitted to aid in helping."

Blades says, "You know what won't happen."

Amos says, "There is knowledge in numbers sometimes."

Speaking smoothly to Nairena, Kayse adds, "But Wehnimer's appreciates your willingness to help defend it."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Gee, danksh."

Goldstr asks, "Permitted?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Well, sir, I do believe I am done, so you enjoy the rest of your night, and do visit the Rusty Cutlass, the drinks are amazing there, and Casi has done an amazing job with the place."

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain says, "I can hope."

Speaking to Kayse, Nairena says, "That has yet to be determined."

Amos says, "Yes."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "Speaking of which... as an independent adventurer, if I come to assist, I would like to be paid commensurately."

Earthdiver says, "Finding the formula would end the Krolvin wars without ever being used."

Amos nods at Goldstr.

Nairena says, "Lets see how this plays out."

Speaking to Kayse, Peggyanne says, "He is a man with no duty to anyone but himself. He anxiously awaits the end of the truce and is bargaining with us for a a powerful artifact."

Amos asks, "Casi? or Rone? Or Mother?"

Amos peers quizzically at Chandrellia.

Speaking squeakily to Nairena, Braugi says, "We take the fight to them."

Amos asks, "Who is she these days?"

Amos asks, "All? None?"

Speaking drunkenly to Peggyanne, Gutstorm slurs, "She got shum back door deal wit Amos, no point tryin to reashon witter."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh not sure what you speak of, I only know her as Casi."

Chandrellia smiles at Amos.

Speaking to Braugi, Nairena says, "Maybe."

Amos smirks.

Speaking coolly to Peggyanne, Kayse responds, "You may have your opinion, as I have mine."

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr says, "Casi be der leader bringin dem in line."

Tayler says, "Be well, all, good luck."

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Vaemyr smirks at Amos.

Speaking to Kayse, Peggyanne says, "I know ship captains. They look at every situation and try to device a way to bend every situation to benefit them in some way or another."

Amos grins at Vaemyr.

Amos says, "Good evening to you all."

Nairena says, "I have quite the story so far written down."

Lord Amos just went west.
