by Leafiara Autumnwind of the TownCrier

Summary

Lady Larsya accompanies Landing regulars in exploring the newly opened Rusty Cutlass, a tavern constructed out of a ship moored at the North Dock! Their myriad misadventures see the conquest of a dastardly enemy Imperial, sending a rebellious crewmate off the gangplank, the perils of a mechanical bird, and more!

Later in the night, after Larsya's long gone and the revelry has calmed down a bit, Lady Casiphia arrives to welcome everyone to the Rusty Cutlass. She fields a few questions and relays some information about her goals with and hopes for her tavern.

Building Anticipation

[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 Bodom disk, the Pals disk, the Kwys disk, a gargantuan cloudy grey tiger, a fat white cat, a raven that is flying around, the Bbee disk, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the Classen disk, the Loggor disk, the Vaemyr disk, a massive snowy white tiger, the rectangular Roelon disk fashioned of oiled tanik, a fluffy white cat, some haphip root, the Mynon disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild grey dog, the rectangular Perigourd disk fashioned of oiled tanik, the Yorne disk, the Stormyrain disk, the Soleren disk, a sleek raven that is flying around, the Beso disk, the Aellis disk, a large acorn, a soft-featured air wyrdling, a mistwood serving 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: Lady Kayani, Pals, Lord Bodom, Lord Kwys, Jaffrey, Mistress Ycelacie, Bbee, Town Councilor Leafiara, Classen, Loggor, Vaemyr, Roelon, Earthdiver who is riding an emaciated black horse, Drektor, Alosaka, Magister Raelee, Arianiss, Sir Mynon, Conquerer of Reim Cryheart, Zanila, Conquerer of Reim Missoni, Perigourd, Yorne, Kayse, Stormyrain, Pukk, Soleren, Ritoshok, Apprentice Beso, Aellis

The sky is filled with a blanket of low clouds, pale and unmoving. Sounds seem muffled and the air feels thick and takes on a quiet stillness.

[General] Dwi thinks, "Goldstr I been tryin to hold Gutstorm back frem climbin inna window...dey still boarded up tho."

Cryheart says, "Perhaps we should head towards the dock soon."

[General] Kayani asks, "Where is the tavern gunna be located?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Missoni asks, "Is that where the new tavern is?"

[General] Goldstr thinks, "North Dock er verra close."

Vaemyr says, "Looks like a bit of snow to accompany the opening of the new tavern tonight."

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Around the North dock."

Roelon whispers something to Arianiss.

[General] Desorceri thinks, "What an odd time for a grand opening..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "I suppose we shall wander."

[General] Draccor thinks, "Its a trap."

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "Dwi, Yardie found me!"

[General] Dwi thinks, "Dont worry...he's harmless."

Pukk recites:

"Everybody join Cryheart!"

[General] Directed to Gutstorm, Yardie thinks, "I'm good at what I do, you know."

Out from a shifting portal, you hear Gutstorm yell, "Dont join Cryheart, he will git ye losht!"

[General] Larsya exclaims, "Argggh!"

Speaking fondly to Pukk, Leafiara exclaims, "That's our herald!"

Cryheart says, "Ok..guess we are headed to the dock soon."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I'm rusty..."

Cryheart says, "Moving out quickly."

Leafiara amusedly says, "Oh, of course Lady Larsya would be interested."

Ycelacie curiously asks, "Where are we going?"

[General] Pukk exclaims, "Arrrrr!"

[General] Leafiara agrees, "Arrrrgh!"

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Arf!"

Cryheart says, "To the North dock..where the new tavern is being opened."

Roelon deeply says, "Pukk is buyin' us ice cream it seems."

[General] Goldstr exclaims, "Hail Matey Larsya!"

Cryheart says, "Join soon."

Yardie asks, "What?!? Why?!?"

[General] Kayani thinks, "Urrrgggh."

Bbee asks, "Where we goin?"

You follow Cryheart as he steps through the shifting portal.

[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 a shifting portal, the rectangular Perigourd disk fashioned of oiled tanik, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild grey dog, a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship, a brilliant purple kitten wearing a purple collar clasped with a pair of crossed silver swords, the Gutstorm disk, some large piles of lumber, a large wood-framed foundation, a wide ramp, a stack of empty crates and a portly portmaster.

Leafiara amusedly asks, "How is Yardie somehow *still* surprised by what goes on around here?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dish shtuff tickle me nose."

Dwi heartily says, "Short cut."

[General] Larsya asks, "Argghh! Is it time?"

[General] Leafiara happily affirms, "It's time soon!"

Dwi heartily exclaims, "Ferst rounds onna Cryheart!"

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Hello Lady Larsya."

Coglock exclaims, "Awfully kind of you, Sir Cryheart!"

[General] Cryheart thinks, "And aye."

[General] Lylia thinks, "Good evening to you."

Cryheart says, "Welcome."

Ycelacie curiously asks, "Are we going to go into the tavern?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Didja grab Yardie?"

Speaking wryly to Gutstorm, Leafiara says, "Yardie, as always, is tardy to the party."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Well he wash here...."

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "I shob'd him unnder a bench."

Cryheart says, "All had a chance to join."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "But me shorta drug him troo da portal."

[General] Draccor thinks, "It was a good evening till I heard Lylia say something."

Speaking to Dwi, Coglock exclaims, "That's no way to treat a bench!"

Uniana whispers something to Teveriel.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dumb question but um."

[General] Leafiara helpfully informs, "We're gathering at the North Dock in case the tavern is somewhere near here."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We shposht to finich buldin dish?"

Speaking to Gutstorm, Yardie says, "You dragged me away from here.....so I can come back here."

Speaking heartily to Coglock, Dwi asks, "Where's a bench when ye need one eh?"

Speaking to Bernadette, Pukk exclaims, "Hiya Spikey!"

Speaking amusedly to Yardie, Leafiara asks, "As I was saying earlier before we left, how are you still somehow surprised by what goes on around here?"

Speaking to Gutstorm, Yardie asks, "Whyyyyyy?"

Speaking drunkenly to Yardie, Gutstorm slurs, "Dint wantcha gitten shtampeeded."

Some commotion echoes from inside of a large moored white-masted ship.

Alosaka says, "Ah, the docks. Just where I've always wanted to go."

Bbee asks, "What we doin here anyways?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Do we need to get da mana cannonsh?"

Lady Larsya just arrived, skipping merrily.

Speaking to Bbee, Leafiara exclaims, "Rumors abound of new construction here!"

The voice of Kayani softly asks, "Waitng to be imploded?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "I don't really reside here. I am often in the East or in the Fall. Or Moonshine Manor."

Larsya exclaims, "Arggghhh!"

Vaemyr asks, "Is the tavern on the ship?"

Speaking to Bbee, Ycelacie says, "A new bar, tavern thing."

Speaking to Bbee, Coglock says, "Helping Sir Cryheart diversify his silvers."

Cryheart says, "Arrrrrgghhh."

Bbee asks, "Oh?"

Pukk yells, "Avast ye mateys! Tis a ship!"

Roelon deeply says, "Ah am nae wearin' mah sailin' kilt..."

Larsya exclaims, "All hands on deck!"

Pukk yells, "Arrrrrrr!"

Cryheart says, "Good evening lady Larsya."

Larsya joins Cryheart's group.

Larsya exclaims, "Arm yeselves!"

Leafiara recites:

"Hail the Dread Pirate!"

Cryheart asks, "We going on board?"

Commence Conquest

Larsya exclaims, "The Dread Black Pirate Larsya means to board this ship!"

Coglock exclaims, "Armed!"

Speaking drunkenly to Larsya, Gutstorm slurs, "Non-alkalol drink."

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk exclaims, "You can protect me!"

Larsya points at a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship.

Gutstorm offers Larsya a mug of fizzy ginger ale.

Yardie whines, "But I don't wanna fight!"

Larsya declines Gutstorm's offer.

Larsya gawks at Gutstorm.

Speaking to himself, Perigourd says, "I already have two arms."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Fer yoo!"

Cryheart says, "Tis close."

Larsya says, "I'm practically still a child."

Dwi recites heartily:

"If'n ye wanna chip in to Cryheart's ale fund...Imma happy to take yer 'nations."

Larsya scoffs at Gutstorm.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It ginner ale!"

Gutstorm shows Larsya his fizzy ginger ale.

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk exclaims, "I'm with you!"

Cryheart says, "The bridge is closed."

Speaking amusedly to Yardie, Leafiara asks, "Aren't you the one always talking about saving the children, but now you're wimping out?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "Perhaps you need more."

Larsya exclaims, "I will drink...the blood of our enemies that we capture and show no mercy!"

Larsya throws her head back and howls!

Larsya exclaims, "ARGGGH!"

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "It's all part of the kobold agenda."

Leafiara enthuses, "That's the spirit!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me fink she fell on her head, dish no alkalol."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "Just because many here act like children doesn't mean that they are....nor do they need saving. But if it's sincere, I'll help."

Speaking to Pukk, Yardie exclaims, "I am not working with kobolds!"

Speaking to Yardie, Pukk exclaims, "That is just what a kobold spy would say!"

Speaking heartily to Yardie, Dwi says, "With..for...same thing."

Speaking amusedly to Yardie, Leafiara says, "I'm talking about--oh, never mind, it's better if you have no idea."

Larsya yells, "Prepare to Board!"

Vaemyr says, "Dun think there's gonna be many enemies unless we're talkin a bout a bar fight tonight."

Larsya asks, "First mate Cryheart, are you ready?"

Cryheart knocks on a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship.

Larsya says, "I mean..."

Larsya asks, "Argggh you ready?"

Larsya giggles.

Cryheart nods at Larsya.

Cryheart says, "Aye, aye captain."

Larsya slings a light green wyrwood short bow off from over her shoulder.

Cryheart grins at Larsya.

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk says, "I say we throw Yardie at them to confuse them."

Speaking to Pukk, Yardie asks, "Wait, what?"

Teveriel asks, "Does the confusion begin when he starts talking?"

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk says, "He just agreed."

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "Some day we shoulda take da lass to meet some real pie rats."

Speaking knowingly to Teveriel, Leafiara says, "Oh yes."

Cryheart asks, "I am guessing the tavern is aboard that ship?"

Larsya exclaims, "Enemy imperial!"

Larsya points at Pukk.

Larsya draws back on the string of her wyrwood short bow and releases, sending the arrow straight for Pukk! You hear a *THWAP* as the suction cup sticks right in the middle of Pukk's forehead.

Larsya yanks on the string, snapping it from Pukk's forehead with a *POP*!

Pukk flails his arms about.

Larsya exclaims, "THWAP!"

Speaking playfully to Yardie, Ycelacie says, "I think you are supposed to talk like a pirate, there is a theme."

Pukk exclaims, "I'm not a imp!"

Cryheart says, "Good shot, Lady Larsya."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me need dat bow."

Speaking to Ycelacie, Yardie asks, "There's....a theme?"

Speaking to Pukk, Vaemyr says, "You've been got."

Pukk sticks his tongue out at Larsya, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips!

Larsya pushes Pukk to the ground and puts her boot on his chest.

Larsya exclaims, "Conquered!"

Larsya pulls Pukk to his feet.

Cryheart says, "Ye hae been conguered, Pukk."

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk asks, "So, we're married now?"

Larsya dusts Pukk off.

Larsya says, "Hell no."

Pukk says, "This isn't how I figured that would happen."

Speaking to Larsya, Bbee asks, "I not know you, me thinks?"

Speaking amusedly to Larsya, Stormyrain offers, "A good conquest M'lady."

Larsya turns to face Cryheart.

Larsya exclaims, "First mate!"

Cryheart says, "The bridge is closed."

Bbee says, "I am Bbee."

Larsya exclaims, "It is time to board!"

Larsya nods at Cryheart.

Some workers open the bridge.

Cryheart says, "Aye, aye captain."

Cryheart says, "Moving."

Dwi heartily exclaims, "Onwards!"

Cryheart abruptly kicks at a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship!

Coglock exclaims, "To victory and booze!"

Vaemyr asks, "Welp shall we?"

Speaking amusedly to Cryheart, Leafiara says, "I think she said board, not destroy..."

Asben whispers something to Earthdiver.

Cryheart says, "The bridge is closed still."

Roelon deeply asks, "Same thing?"

Larsya just nudged Cryheart.

Larsya says, "Oh..."

Cryheart grins at Larsya.

Some workers re-open the bridge.

Bbee asks, "Can't we swim it?"

Cryheart walks across the wooden planks of the bridge and enters the Rusty Cutlass.

Rusty Cutlass Grub Hall

[Rusty Cutlass, Grub Hall]

Burnished wooden planks curve out to form the massive hall of the tavern's entrance, with rows of sturdy oaken posts rising to connect with a network of rafters above. Dozens of blackened oil lanterns hang from the ceiling, their light at times a haze behind wisps of smoke drifting in from the galley. In the center rests a huge cast-iron pot surrounded by countless tables and barrel chairs. A half-circle driftwood bar is nestled in the corner beneath a salt-stained crest. You also see a wide wooden ramp and an open archway leading to a wooden plank bridge.

Cryheart says, "Ahah."

Cryheart says, "Hail to the new tavern."

Larsya gawks at a half-circle driftwood bar.

Speaking in Dwarven, Dwi heartily says something you don't understand.

Bernadette softly says, "Hail."

Larsya helps herself to some thyme-covered crawfish.

>l on bar

On the driftwood bar:

Food/Drink [30]: a skewer of marinated shrimp, some thyme-covered crawfish, some wood-smoked salmon, a flavorful tuna roll wrapped in rice, a pan-seared lemon garlic scallop, a charred and salted catfish fillet, some fried and battered squid rings, a peach rum-soaked cockatrice wing, a slab of sweet mint boar, a wine-soaked braised quail, a grilled corn on the cob, a tiny square of yellow cheese, a warm buttered bread roll, a slice of fresh banana bread, a plump dark red strawberry, a bowl of peppered clam chowder, a mug of cold pineapple juice, a cup of iced mint tea, a wide cup of lemon honey tea, a cup of smooth dark coffee, some freckled strawberry wine, a glass of iced plum wine, a goblet of red-gold beer, a flagon of roasted vanilla mead, a stein of thick black stout, a shot of crisp cedar whiskey, a bottle of brown honey rum, a mug of cinnamon apple cider, a stout bottle of ice water, a glass of pale Rooftop Riesling

Larsya gobbles down a big bite of her thyme-covered crawfish.

Cryheart says, "Now we can see."

Larsya gobbles down her thyme-covered crawfish in one enormous bite.

Cryheart says, "Yumm."

[General] Blades thinks, "So the Marshal is providin free drinks for all for the grand opening."

[General] Leafiara agrees, "The drinks are indeed free!"

Cryheart says, "Delicate."

Cryheart says, "I think this shall be my regular place to eat."

Larsya removes a glass of pale Rooftop Riesling from on a half-circle driftwood bar.

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "They have tiny cubes of cheese for you, Blades. Better hurry before they're gone."

Mollan asks, "Where is the ale?"

Coglock says, "This place needs a proper toasting and breaking in."

Cryheart says, "Love fish."

Vaemyr says, "Pretty good grub."

Yardie asks, "Where's the food?"

Speaking to a red forest fox, Drazaa asks, "Renard, have you been getting into good trouble lately?"

Speaking amusedly to Yardie, Leafiara asks, "On the bar, where else?"

Gutstorm lights a oil lantern, and a small flame flares into being, casting a dancing shadow along the ground.

Bbee exclaims, "The tea is refreshin!"

Cryheart says, "Look on the bar."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "But that's where drinks go."

Speaking amusedly to Drazaa, Severine agrees, "Always."

Meril quietly says, "Everything is still quite clean. I pray it continues that way for a while longer."

[General] Blades thinks, "Oh is this a winery? I'll pass thank you. I prefer thinly sliced halfling bites."

Roelon deeply says, "Well then."

Larsya pours herself a glass of pale Rooftop Riesling.

[General] Stormyrain amusedly thinks, "Not quite a winery, but as you wish."

Speaking to Meril, Arianiss says, "Someone is going to throw up, and blood will be spilled by night's end."

Cryheart raises his red-gold beer in a toast!

Cryheart says, "A toast."

Larsya glances at a huge cast-iron pot.

Vaemyr says, "Interestin idea to build a tavern into a ship..."

Larsya asks, "Stew in the pot?"

Speaking to Kayse, Stormyrain says, "The strawberry wine is surprising."

Speaking quietly to Meril, Drazaa says, "This crowd might be in need of your live-saving sanctuaries."

Speaking to his tuna roll, Pukk says, "This reminds me of Albacora."

Cryheart says, "To Lad...errr Captain Larsya."

Speaking amusedly to Stormyrain, Kayse says, "So was the whiskey."

>l pot

The huge cast-iron pot dominates the center of the grub hall and is filled with some salted stew that bubbles as it cooks.

Dwi heartily says, "Bear gonna be disapointed dat dey jus gots a cheap stuff."

Larsya helps herself to a bowl of salted Mother's stew.

Stormyrain lightly says, "I'll try that next."

Larsya takes a bite of her salted Mother's stew.

Cryheart asks, "How does the stew taste?"

Leafiara muses, "Hmm, stew in the Landing that's not Helga's."

Bernadette softly says, "Me tanks to deh cheffs."

Larsya says, "Salty and rich, like you I bet."

Speaking to Leafiara, Coglock says, "You may survive it."

Larsya giggles.

Speaking heartily to Leafiara, Dwi says, "Prolley wont need yer serbices den."

Cryheart says, "Lady Larsya."

Bernadette softly says, "En bakers."

Speaking to Larsya, Thrassus asks, "I suppose the Consortium funded quite a bit of this?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Lylia says, "I do not know if she is going to be pleased at the shared work or incandescent with rage at the competition."

Bbee says, "I don't trust stew anywhere after meeting Blades."

Coglock says, "Helga has competition."

Leafiara acknowledges, "Not bad."

Larsya leans against a salt-stained crest.

>l cres

The salt-stained crest holds the image of a ferocious looking warcat, with wide tapering grey stripes running across its sleek black hair. A piece of golden amber serves as one of the feline's eyes, while the other socket is now empty. The warcat's teeth are clamped down tightly on the rusty blade of a cutlass that points out to the side.

[OOC] Ycelacie: "Nowhere here is a node." [note: the tables probably are]

Pukk says, "Must be so much better than Helga's."

Yardie confesses, "I must admit I hope this helps quell some of the tempers here."

Roelon deeply says, "Nae sure it taste the same without extra sack like Helga's."

Speaking curiously to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "Have you ever actually tried Helga's?"

Cryheart says, "Heh."

Speaking sheepishly to Pukk, Leafiara admits, "I was afraid I'd die."

Yardie says, "Food does soothe the savage beast."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I saw what she puts into it...I know better."

Speaking to a golden brown coyote, Drazaa says, "For you, dear friend."

Lylia says, "Do not fear death, Pukk. Or stew."

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "I don't fear death...but that stew is something else."

Speaking to Leafiara, Bbee asks, "Tried Helga's what?"

Speaking to Bbee, Leafiara replies, "Her famous stew."

Speaking heartily to a golden brown coyote, Dwi says, "Stay away frem Helga is wot dey sayin."

Drazaa whispers something to Stormyrain.

Caelte says, "Well this place seems festive."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Kayse urges, "Just drink it."

Speaking to a red forest fox, Drazaa says, "My kind of fox."

Lylia says, "Ysharra is going to enjoy that banana bread. I should take her a piece."

Speaking to Larsya, Vaemyr asks, "So this play got darts or any games around?"

Drazaa announces, "Have at it you two."

Lylia murmurs, "I should take me a piece."

Larsya exclaims, "Maybe!"

Speaking to Leafiara, Bbee says, "Sleepy tries Helga enough for all of us."

Larsya taps Cryheart lightly on his shoulder.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dartsh are dattaway."

Larsya points southwest.

Speaking curiously to Lylia, Yardie asks, "Madame Ysharra likes bananas?"

Speaking to Kayse, Stormyrain says, "I did--but I got a very good idea of the flavor profile from tasting it first."

Cryheart says, "Moving."

Speaking to Drazaa, Lylia says, "Livelier than a bakery, to be sure."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went southwest.

Rusty Cutlass Hold

[Rusty Cutlass, The Hold]

Faint light from the main deck above seeps in through tiny grates in the ceiling, just enough to illuminate part of the compartment's ballast in the form of piles of huge sandbags, wooden crates, and iron-banded barrels. The rest of the hold is aglow from the fire of hanging lanterns which help to display a coral-ringed dart board hung firmly on a wall. A large cloth hammock is pulled tight between two oaken posts in the far corner of the room. You also see a small round glaes porthole.

Larsya exclaims, "Arggh, the hold!"

Larsya raises a light green wyrwood short bow in the air and clamors happily!

Larsya sits carefully on a large sailcloth hammock, causing it to gently sway back and forth.

Speaking to Yardie, Lylia says, "She does not eat anything that breathes."

[General] Juspera asks, "What are you, chicken?"

Cryheart says, "Dart board."

Larsya stretches out her leg until her foot is touching the floor and pushes, causing the hammock to sway.

Goldstr just arrived.

Larsya turns to face a large sailcloth hammock.

[General] Bluey thinks, "Small roltons."

Stormyrain asks, "Out of strawberry wine already?"

Larsya stretches out her leg until her foot is touching the floor and stops the hammock from swaying.

Speaking to Goldstr, Leafiara exclaims, "Just in time as we've found the dart board!"

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie says, "Err...that's fair, I suppose."

Larsya stretches out her leg until her foot is touching the floor and pushes, causing the hammock to sway.

Larsya stands up from the sailcloth hammock, causing it to sway to and fro.

Bbee says, "It's a tea shop."

Yardie asks, "Whoa. Dartboards?!?"

Speaking to Stormyrain, Drazaa says, "I could head back for it."

Larsya lazily traces her fingers against the glass panes of the porthole.

Bringing her face close to the glass, Larsya exhales upon the smooth surface and creates a bit of fog on the porthole. With one finger she draws a series of lazy whorls. After several moments, the image fades away.

Goldstr exclaims, "Glad der be Darts!"

Bernadette softly says, "Nice setup ye gots here."

Yardie says, "Another place to practice trying to catch up to Nazarr."

Speaking to Yardie, Lylia says, "Good luck with that."

Larsya points north.

Larsya nods at Cryheart.

Cryheart nods at Larsya.

Cryheart says, "Moving."

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie says, "It's not needed, Imperatrix. Just time."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Danksh!"

Cryheart says, "Aye, aye Captain Larsya."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went north.

Rusty Cutlass Galley

[Rusty Cutlass, The Galley]

The back of the galley is dominated by an enormous red brick oven, its center set with a long oily grate above a glowing fire. A high shelf almost droops beneath the weight of bags of flour, iron pots and pans, and nearly a hundred corked bottles of rum. A wide worktable is suspended from the ceiling by heavy ropes and its surface is scattered with various meat cleavers, jars of spices, and old stains. Several crates and iron-banded barrels occupy every corner of the kitchen. You also see a stout washbasin.

Larsya plucks at the string of her wyrwood short bow, making a dull twanging sound.

Cryheart says, "Oye..the galley."

Bbee asks, "Leading us to the whoscow?"

Dwi heartily says, "Uh oh."

Uniana whispers something to Teveriel.

You see Gutstorm thrust his hand into the small fire. He jerks his hand back.

... 1 point of damage!

Minor burns to right hand. Ouch.

Gutstorm reaches out and touches something in an enormous red brick oven.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "OW."

Coglock says, "This place is dangerous; drinks everywhere."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "Fire...hot."

Speaking knowingly to Gutstorm, Leafiara teases, "Brilliant."

Cryheart says, "Dinna touch a fire."

Vaemyr says, "Fire is hot, someone get this information to Newsby."

Cryheart says, "Ahoy...rum."

Larsya glances at a long oily grate.

Juspera says, "I had an adventure."

Larsya helps herself to a leg of garlic-rosemary turkey.

Larsya smacks her lips.

Caelte says, "This is good."

Speaking teasingly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Oh, Pukk, it's your second worst nemesis, a washbashin."

Larsya licks her garlic-rosemary turkey.

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Thank you for warning me."

Vaemyr says, "Ok if I hang out here too long, I think I'm gonna get fat..."

Lylia appreciatively says, "That iced plum wine is delightful."

Larsya rolls up one of her leggings and tries to use the turkey leg as a pirate's wooden leg.

Larsya snickers.

Larsya exclaims, "Argggh!"

Bbee says, "This town would be in trouble if this crew were taken."

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie says, "This rum is rather quality."

Coglock says, "They'll use you as ballast. It's fine."

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk asks, "Well, turkey legs eh?"

Perigourd whispers something to Raelee.

Cryheart says, "Rum on the shelf."

From below a sturdy ladder, you hear Dwi yell, "Peeyoo!"

Caelte drunkenly says, "Head hurts."

Raelee whispers something to Perigourd.

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Oh dere be a shecret entrance down ere."

Larsya moves around, looking behind some crates.

From below a sturdy ladder, you hear Dwi yell, "But it stanks!"

>l behind crate

Behind the wooden crates:

Misc [1]: a sturdy ladder

Cryheart asks, "Shall we Captain?"

Caelte drunkenly says, "Huh."

Juspera says, "I don't think I want to go down there."

Larsya says, "Arggh, but be armed."

Larsya exclaims, "Dangers may lurk!"

Speaking amusedly to Juspera, Leafiara asks, "No sense of adventure?"

Speaking to Juspera, Lylia says, "I cannot imagine why not."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went down a sturdy ladder.

Rusty Cutlass Bilge and Burrow Way

[Rusty Cutlass, The Bilge]

The deepest pit of the tavern is heavily cramped, with large rocks stacked about that once kept a measure of buoyancy for the ship when it was once at sea. There is little room for anything else, save for a narrow walkway crossing from the back of the room to the ladder leading up.

Roelon deeply asks, "....rum counts as armed aye?"

Cryheart says, "Ugh..the bilge."

Larsya plucks at the string of her wyrwood short bow, making a dull twanging sound.

[General] Dwi thinks, "Dey ran it aground...dis boat aint eber leafin."

Cryheart says, "Rocks are the ballast."

>l behind roc

Behind the large rocks:

Misc [1]: a narrow crack in the wall

Bbee says, "My hands are getting all shriveled up from washing floors."

Larsya asks, "A narrow crack? Will you even fit?"

Larsya giggles.

Missoni murmurs, "A bit tight in here."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Cryheart aint fittin troo dat crack."

Larsya taps Cryheart's stomach.

Speaking coyly to Cryheart, Leafiara says, "Suck it in."

Coglock says, "Cracks in a ship make me nervous."

Dwi heartily says, "I gotted me hips thru it."

Speaking to Larsya, Perigourd says, "He gives most his food to wildlife."

Thrassus says, "Ah, a rat-hole."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went through a narrow crack in the wall.

[Wehnimer's, Burrow Way]

Part of the tunnel has collapsed here, as evident by the pile of boulders blocking part of the path. From beneath the rubble, the bony fingers of a skeletal hand can be seen.

Cryheart says, "Ahah."

Leafiara surprisedly says, "Oh."

Cryheart says, "Whoa."

Mollan asks, "Sewers?"

Vaemyr says, "And we're back in town."

Leafiara admits, "That definitely wasn't where I was expecting that to go."

Cryheart says, "Hmm..a tunnel."

Larsya says, "Burrow way? Eww."

Cryheart says, "Yep."

Lylia says, "It is precisely where I expected it to go."

[Rusty Cutlass, The Bilge]

The deepest pit of the tavern is heavily cramped, with large rocks stacked about that once kept a measure of buoyancy for the ship when it was once at sea. There is little room for anything else, save for a narrow walkway crossing from the back of the room to the ladder leading up.

Cryheart says, "And we are back."

Cryheart says, "So perhaps we should put a guard here."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Why?"

Mollan says, "Rats might wander in."

Larsya points at a sturdy ladder.

Speaking deeply to Gutstorm, Roelon says, "To keep the rum safe."

Larsya exclaims, "To the main deck!"

Cryheart says, "To make sure we dinnae get invaded."

Caelte says, "Good turkey."

Mollan says, "And drink the rum."

[travel]

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni asks, "How far did you follow the tunnel?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Goldstr says, "Well ders Mother's Stew so I thinks guard nae needed."

Larsya exclaims, "Let's clear the deck of enemies!"

Larsya points at a wide ramp.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da only people invidin dish place are in need of a drink."

Larsya looks over at Cryheart and shakes her head. [he had accidentally gone back out to North Dock]

Larsya points at a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship.

Vaemyr says, "Wrong way."

Caelte asks, "Is this ship here to stay?"

Larsya points at a wide wooden ramp.

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just wandered up a wide wooden ramp.

Rusty Cutlass Main Deck

[Rusty Cutlass, Main Deck]

The main deck of the tavern looks to be untouched by the elements, but its wooden plank flooring is marred by countless scuff marks. Guests linger and speak in hushed tones along the wooden railings, while the murmur of voices carries down from the quarterdeck above. A thick rope ladder hangs on the side of the huge wooden mainmast as lights flicker in the breeze from several tiny lanterns dangling from the ship's netting above. Two wide wooden stairs frame a tall iron-bound door. You also see an iron-banded keg and a wide wooden ramp.

Larsya raises a light green wyrwood short bow in the air and clamors happily!

Cryheart says, "Ahhh."

Larsya dances lightly across the dance floor with Cryheart.

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went northeast.

[Rusty Cutlass, Gangplank]

A pile of weathered and faded pillows provides a measure of comfort near a wide wooden railing that looks out over Darkstone Bay. The salty spray of the waters periodically splashes up to add to the stains along a copper-banded keg, while a narrow wooden gangplank juts out over the side of the deck, warped under the weight of time and use.

Larsya exclaims, "Hey!"

Larsya exclaims, "I didn't say move yet matey!"

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went southwest.

Rusty Cutlass Gangplank

[Rusty Cutlass, Gangplank]

A pile of weathered and faded pillows provides a measure of comfort near a wide wooden railing that looks out over Darkstone Bay. The salty spray of the waters periodically splashes up to add to the stains along a copper-banded keg, while a narrow wooden gangplank juts out over the side of the deck, warped under the weight of time and use.

Goldstr exclaims, "Ooooh!"

Leafiara yells, "We're over northeast!"

Larsya loads the arrow into her wyrwood short bow and turns toward Cryheart, grinning mischievously.

Speaking to Cryheart, Lylia says, "I may have gotten you murdered. My regrets."

Leafiara amusedly says, "People with so much wanderlust."

Cryheart grins at Larsya.

Perigourd says, "Nice view."

Larsya says, "Sir Cryheart...."

Vaemyr says, "So someone volunteer to walk the plank."

Cryheart says, "Aye, Captain Larsya."

Mollan says, "Shoot."

Cryheart says, "Take your best shot."

Cryheart nods at Larsya.

Cryheart folds his arms over his chest.

Larsya says, "You must jump on the gangplank, for moving ahead without my permission."

Cryheart leans to his right slightly.

Cryheart mutters under his breath.

Larsya says, "A lesson must be learned. An example must be made for the crew."

Cryheart moves to the edge of the gangplank and then jumps, free falling for a few seconds before landing in the waters of Darkstone Bay with a loud splash!

Missoni whispers aloud, "Will it hold him?"

Larsya throws her head back and howls!

Bakarus says, "We hardly knew ye."

Lylia deadpans, "Indeed. Order must be maintained, even on the high seas."

Arianiss asks, "Did he take off his armor first?"

Missoni answers, "It will not."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart just arrived.

Lylia assures, "He is also a strong swimmer."

Larsya lets out a cheer!

Leafiara reports, "He seems to be okay from my Symbol of Sight observa--"

Cryheart says, "Ta da."

Lylia says, "See? No lasting harm."

[General] Dwi thinks, "Try fer Teras next time."

Larsya says, "You are still."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just went south.

Rusty Cutlass Forecastle

[Rusty Cutlass, Forecastle]

The surface of the forecastle rests in the shadow of the topsail and its wooden planks are a stark contrast to the main deck below. Old stains from a mixture of blood, ale, and fish guts have discolored the flooring along every board near the railings. A few wooden barrels sit in the center of the main railing, each one crowded with some tackle boxes, lures and tiny metal hooks. Some carved wooden benches rest on each side of the sculpted bronze figurehead that faces out towards Darkstone Bay.

Larsya says, "You've earned the right back matey."

>l fig

The bronze figurehead has been sculpted into the shape of a ravishing yet faceless siren with locks of bluish-black hair tapering in layers down her back. Several metallic scales are missing along the fish tail that serves as her lower body. One hand holds a small, battered buckler, while the other hand clutches a severed heart in its grasp, holding it close to her own chest.

Larsya says, "Hmm..."

Cryheart says, "Thank ye Captain."

Larsya leans against a sculpted bronze figurehead.

Larsya says, "Tackle boxes..."

>l bench

Carved into the back of one of the wooden benches' legs are the letters, "D, A, R, C."

Cryheart asks, "Fishing?"

Larsya digs into her satchel to pull out a fishing rod.

Cryheart says, "Hmm..nice."

Larsya leans back and lets the line of her oak fishing rod go with a sharp *WHOOSH!*, the hammer-shaped lure flying through the air before landing with a soft *plink* quite a large distance away from the boat.

Lylia says, "Woman after my own heart. Or someone's heart, at any rate."

Earthdiver says, "Feesh."

Ycelacie curiously asks, "How do we get between decks?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oh."

Cryheart says, "Impressive."

Xorus says, "I wonder if the blunt impact from falling into still water, from a great enough height, under the effect of water walking magic would shatter one's legs."

Goldstr asks, "Whose heart?"

Larsya takes in some of the slack from her oak fishing rod.

Cryheart says, "I hae strong legs."

Vaemyr says, "So you can fish here."

Vaemyr says, "Neat."

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Dwi, dey got a fisher dock."

Larsya takes in some of the slack from her oak fishing rod.

Goldstr asks, "We kin fish here?"

Larsya takes in some of the slack from her oak fishing rod.

Larsya nods at Goldstr.

Leafiara says, "Welp, another place to inform Beldannon about."

Severine takes a drink from her spiced mulberry rum.

Her face flushes and her eyes water.

[General] Dwi slyly thinks, "I aint bein bait agin...I still gots sand inna be boots frem last time."

Larsya put a knotted oak fishing rod in her gold-stringed satchel.

Arianiss exclaims, "Remember, any sea thraks caught must be returned.. save the sea thraks!"

Speaking lightly to Severine, Leafiara says, "I think maybe you've had too much."

Larsya exclaims, "Back to the main deck!"

[Rusty Cutlass, Main Deck]

The main deck of the tavern looks to be untouched by the elements, but its wooden plank flooring is marred by countless scuff marks. Guests linger and speak in hushed tones along the wooden railings, while the murmur of voices carries down from the quarterdeck above. A thick rope ladder hangs on the side of the huge wooden mainmast as lights flicker in the breeze from several tiny lanterns dangling from the ship's netting above. Two wide wooden stairs frame a tall iron-bound door. You also see an iron-banded keg and a wide wooden ramp.

Larsya points at a thick rope ladder.

Cryheart says, "Here we be."

Conquerer of Reim Cryheart's group just climbed up a thick rope ladder.

Rusty Cutlass Crow's Nest

[Rusty Cutlass, Crow's Nest]
The top of the main mast reaches its peak at the crow's nest, which has been crafted to resemble a huge wooden barrel held together by bands of sturdy iron.  From this vantage point more than half of Wehnimer's Landing can be seen, as well as far out onto the waters of Darkstone Bay.  You also see a thick rope ladder, a long brass-fitted telescope and a long twisted rope.

Larsya raises a light green wyrwood short bow in the air and clamors happily!

Pukk says, "Woah."

Vaemyr says, "Oh can see all the way to the black sands."

>peer tele

You lean forward and look through the lens of the telescope.

[Lower Dragonsclaw, Grasslands]
Growing among the warm grasses are a few scattered trees.  It is hard to tell if the forest you can see to the west is encroaching upon the grasslands or if it is slowly being harvested and replaced for grazing.  You also see a large stone outpost.

>peer tele

You lean forward and look through the lens of the telescope.

[Wehnimer's, Middle Dock]
Laboring dockworkers and strolling seamen mingle here on the weathered planks of the dock, between the hulls of large seafaring merchantmen.  The groan of ships pulling at hawsers, the clatter of feet upon gangplanks, and the swearing of the dockworkers mix with the cries of seabirds and the cadence of waves against the pilings.  You also see the Bbee disk.
Also here: Bbee

Larsya dusts off her wyrwood short bow, gazing at it with particular fondness.

>peer tele

You lean forward and look through the lens of the telescope.

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]
Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet.  As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away.  Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor.  You also see a doorman, a scorched oak sideboard with some stuff on it, a purple modwir bin and the porch steps.

Pukk exclaims, "I can see to Hearthstone!"

Caelte drunkenly says, "Too see."

Earthdiver says, "Cute."

Coglock exclaims, "Yar, thar be roltons!"

Coglock exclaims, "Fire the 'pults!"

Bernadette softly says, "Ahh."

Speaking drunkenly to a long brass-fitted telescope, Gutstorm slurs, "Anyone in dere?"

Caelte says, "And the chubby dockmaster."

Bakarus says, "Bbee is in the middle dock."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Lylia says, "Yes, but they are too small to hear you."

Bakarus says, "Resting."

Teveriel thoughtfully says, "I recall a time when Hearthstone's porch was never so empty."

Larsya asks, "Where does the rope go?"

Goldstr whispers to the group, "What a Fantastic peice of work!"

Speaking to Larsya, Perigourd says, "The east tower roof." [well, to be precise, the river tower east, heh]

Caelte exclaims, "I see Bbee!"

[General] Dwi thinks, "I wish! So many boats."

Lylia says, "As do I. But in this case, it could be because we are all here."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Roof of a buoldin."

Larsya turns to Perigourd and cheers!

>get rope

You grab onto the rope tightly and prepare yourself to push off and swing on it.

>push rope

You push yourself off while holding the rope, swinging out of the area!

[River Tower East, Roof]

A small, roofed structure provides some weather protection on the open top level of the guard tower. The view north across the bay affords a valuable vantage point, looking out towards the island of Glaoveln, home port of the warlike Ice Krolvin. To the west and south, the blue rivers and rocky slopes of the Lower Trollfang region provide a breathtaking vista. You also see a long twisted rope, a glowing blue-white pylon, some polished steps, a modwir wood ladder that descends through a square opening in the slate-covered roof and an iron banded barrel.

Speaking drunkenly to Lylia, Gutstorm slurs, "If ye fall, me will catcha."

Lylia says, "Thank you. I shall keep it in mind."

Xorus says, "I was expecting moons and stars. It was only Bbee."

Vaemyr says, "That was fun."

Speaking drunkenly to Missoni, Gutstorm slurs, "Da hunter neber letsh up on da prey."

Rusty Cutlass Quarterdeck...

[Rusty Cutlass, Quarterdeck]

Two wooden stairs lead up to the expansive quarterdeck that provides a wide view of the deck and forecastle beyond. A notched ship's wheel juts up from the center, while far behind it several tables and chairs for guests have been positioned about with each wooden leg nailed into the deck. Several blued steel lanterns hang from a long wooden railing. You also see a rust-covered treasure chest.

Vaemyr says, "The mysterious door, of where noone has gone before."

Vaemyr says, "Or the stairs."

...Detour to the Silver Knave Table

Following Kayse, you head over to the Silver Knave Table.

[Silver Knave Table]

A stout ceramic vase filled with dark purple wolfsbane flowers sits in the center of the table, surrounded by several detailed images etched into the wooden table. The carvings depict ships floating on a bay, toppled bags of coins, and the corpse of a lion in the depths of an open grave.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dat chest aint wot it shaysh it sh."

Cryheart says, "Errr."

Caelte drunkenly says, "Where."

Vaemyr says, "We uhh went to a table."

Larsya points at an oversized peanut bowl on a round table.

>l on tab

On the round table:

Special [1]: an oversized peanut bowl

Larsya helps herself to a peanut.

Larsya cracks open the peanut and scatters the shell on the ground. She quickly pops the contents into her mouth.

>l in bowl

The bowl is overflowing with peanuts, both shelled and unshelled, along with numerous empty peanut husks. Curiously, the rim of the bowl shows an abundance of teeth marks, as if something or someone has been feeding from it.

Lylia asks, "On the floor?"

Cryheart asks, "Hmm..rats?"

Xorus says, "Those flowers look edible."

Caelte says, "Oof."

With a casual flick of the wrist, Arianiss sends his peanut into flight, striking Raelee in the back of the head!

Rusty Cutlass Cabin

[Rusty Cutlass, Cabin]

Several high-backed chairs hug the side walls of the cabin while a long glass-topped desk that stretches out before a row of tall arched windows overlooks part of the town and the bay. A huge rust-covered bronze bird rests in one corner, opposite of it stands a salt-stained bookcase cluttered with tomes and trinkets. Hanging on one wall are a heavy oak placard and a polished wooden weapon rack. You also see a tall iron-bound door.

Larsya reaches out and touches a long glass-topped desk.

Larsya shrugs at a heavy oak placard.

Yardie says, "Behind the bookcase."

>l book

The bookcase appears warped and seems to be fashioned together by different pieces of old driftwood, yet meticulously sanded down to keep a smooth finish. Several tomes pertaining to local history and imperial customs line a few lower shelves, while the top shelves house several trinkets, including a string of blood marble prayerbeads, a headless troll miniature, a bent silver stiletto, and a burnished copper urn.

Bbee says, "Nay lose me again."

Goldstr yells, "Freedom Takes Root!"

Bbee says, "Please."

Pukk says, "I see that map of landing...I don't understand anything else."

Kayse pulls a huge rusty bronze bird.

With a smooth whoosh of well-oiled gears, the bronze bird turns its metallic eyes toward Arianiss, then quickly as a striking snake, snatches his up in its mouth and swallows him whole!

With a final click of its mouth, the bird settles back into a quiet crouch.

>l desk

Several parchments are wedged and secured beneath the thick glass top on the desk, ranging from colorful charts of the western seas to sketched maps of the streets and docks of Wehnimer's Landing and its environs. Also preserved beneath the glass is the dried-out orange blossom of a small butterflyweed flower.

Larsya walks over to the chair and settles down.

Uniana worriedly says, "Oh, that was not intended."
