Kora

She does not preen under the LT's affirmation, if anything, she winces a little when the LT says "Kora is correct." She thought this was still a discussion, but that seems to be the way of command, making decisions and moving on. She tries to throw Sylrie an apologetic shrug, but is unsure if it was seen or understood. (I'm narrating this because there are likely others who might see and have some insight into what is going on in Kora's head.)

"No, let's weigh our options. I just agree it could be some sort of trap. Or worse. Delthorn would give us a lay of the land and the area without pushing our luck, and resources, too far. But it does give me pause as well. We can investigate from the ground in these other two villages before moving deeper into the Reaches," She points to the two locations on the map. "We just really don't know too much else. The silence from this part of Aundair has been deafening."

Isuzu

Isuzu just shrugs at their final decision, not caring... however, observing Kora's interactions, etc. right or wrong in her way of thinking, Isuzu's take on it all is that Kora feels a need to impress those in charge and Isuzu is thus starting to view her as something of a suck up. Also in part Isuzu sees and views Kora's apologetic shrug to Sylrie totally differently, to Isuzu, who saw it as insincere rather than apologetic, thinking that perhaps Kora has a need to show up her companions in a bid for advancement, promotion or recognition.

Once the briefing is over Isuzu will seek to slink out without any discussion with anyone or make any comments, except with regard to Percival who she will approach if possible, giving him a slight smile to and ask, "how was the meal, I trust you had a pleasant evening? Perhaps next time, just you and I can go somewhere to dine and avoid the crowds?"

"The meal was excellent, you were right in suggesting that we eat at the Bistro. Yes, I think that it would be nice to have dinner with you some time. I was a little disappointed that you didn't get to eat with us, but I understand that you had personal business to attend to."

Isuzu

Isuzu seems a bit surprised by Percival's response but pleasantly so, "well next time then, just you and me, no distractions... it will give us both something positive to look forward to in the future."

"Until then." At that point, Percival bids good night to Isuzu and the rest of the company and heads to bed, preparing for what the next few days might hold.

OOC > No worries, Oddlot. People are... difficult, but rewarding. :)

Kashkaval

The minotaur sips a fizzy drink while waiting, and by that I mean his mage hand keeps tipping the bottle up to his lips so he can drink.

You can feel the list of the ship as it leaves the dock, and starts making its way slowly onto the route it will take across Lake Galifar. 

“Hope you lot have your sea boots on, not trying to smell your last meal as it spills to the deck.” Sarge says with a chuckle As he walks into the room carrying two buckets. Both empty. “The captain says we will be out of port in the better half of an hour, then smooth sailing as long the weather holds. Said there’s a storm sign to the south but said it’ll probably go towards those Brelish bastards.”

(OOC - so are we dismissed then or are we still in discussions about our plan of attack?)

Kora's probably never been on a ship of any size before... possibly never on any ship of any size...

I'm guessing the Minotaurs of Droaam don't share their seafaring ways of their cousins from say Krynn :P so its possible that Kashkaval has never been on a ship either.

[CON save: 18]

but manages to keep his lunch down :)

 ((OOG Still discussing, going over information.))

"Thank you, Sarge." Lt says to the sarge before continuing, "So, what do we do? Establish ourselves, or go towards the Towering Woods?"

((OOG Also, CON saves will not be needed just yet for you landlubbers. But Kash does have an Iron stomach right now, fizzy drinks must be good for the scourge of sea sickness! XD ))

Kora

She will keep quiet about what we should do, rethinking her life choices. :)

Percival is fine if the crew wants to go to Tall Vine instead of Delthorn. "Either way, we're helping Aundair and doing the Queen's work."

”No better honor in my eyes. We may be on ground for months. I hope we can figure out what is going on before then, but the likelyhood of this being a clean sweep just doesn’t seem like that would be possible. But we’re Greywind, we’ll figure it out and we’ll get the job done.”

Ever inspirational the LT is, she tries to bestow confidence in all who are under her. She’s as tough as dragon hide, but she actually cares for and believes in all those who are under her. She pulls out a small pipe, one of her only vices and walks out the room to take a couple pulls on it. 

Sagre settles into his bunk, kicks off his boots and pulls his cap over his eyes. In no time at all you can hear the labored breath of a man deep in sleep. “Fighting the Queen’s battles.” He likes to say about his uncanny ability to fall to sleep anywhere and at anytime. Must be the long years he’s put in as a grunt, sleep when you can where you can. 

((OOG Okay, sorry about not posting much today and last night but I’ll be on all night between Overwatch matches and making dinner. Stuffed meatloaf, it’s my first go with it so we’ll see how that turns out. 

Welcome aboard! Now, the travel will take some time. It’s not a straight forward destination and though Aundair has land locked to the lake that doesn’t make it a safe place. There will be three stops during this journey. There is a full crew of men and women working the ships sails and it’s defenses. You are not required to do either, but it is encouraged that you try to learn so if the wind takes you. [Ship pun intended.] 

Now, traveling on a ship can be fun, but it also can be boring. There are many activities you can engage in, I will list them here. OR, if you think of anything I haven’t then that’s fine too! ))

Activities to do on the Wrogar’s Vexation:

-The ships galley is run by chief cook Migio Killingsworth. A bouncy man with a deep laughter, loves to smile as much as he loves to cook. Arya Little is his number two in the galley and his only help. They both know a wide variety of dishes, being most are large enough to feed the crew for days on end.

-Navigation Officer Peetu Liberion is a quiet fellow, joined the Navy to protect the homeland and likes to stick to his charts and instruments. He is very loyal to Captain Rikkar Chezsan and to Aundair. If you can get him to open up you might learn a thing or two.

-Seaman  Jeriko Jance is the helmsmen of the Vexation. He is new to his post, but eager to be the best at it. He only helms the wheel from sunup to sundown. He is relived by an old salty dog Seaman 1st Class Razi Mer’lan. The wisecracking, foul mouthed old timer used to be a pirate in her younger days. And it shows. She has a lot of years on the water behind her and it shows. She helms the wheel from sundown to sunup. 

- Wroagar’s Mariners are a crew of twenty (they work in three shifts) that work the sails of the ship. These grunts of the ship know how important their job is, if they fail or mess around the whole ship could be lost. The crews are ran by Petty Officer 2nd Class Dirke Pitte, a blonde haired green eyed lover of the sea. He’s new to his post as well and eager to show that he can lead a team. He runs the teams during the day, at night they are ran by Alv Giordinoson. Petty Officer 3rd Class. Alv is a friendly yet large man. Tan skin, short brown hair and muscles from horizon to horizon. 

-Sergeant at Arms Wilhelm Rigaby II, the Old Merle as the men and women call him. Wilhelm has a plethora of combat experience and knowledge. You will find him most days training the young sailors in ship combat and also spending time talking to his old war buddy Sergeant Misquo Lorand. Do you need to brush up on some training? Need to stretch out your landlubbing legs while at sea? Sgt. Rigaby will make sure he takes care of you.

-Mages on an Aundarian ship is what makes them so feared. The Artillerist that work the cannons couldn’t be as proficient in their work if they didn’t have the mages behind them working their spells to keep them safe. Helping the crew move faster and work harder, but also using their skills to protect the ship while assaulting enemy forces. There are ten (10) mages on the Vexation. Lead by Lt. Commander Deku. A dark skinned man trained in Arcanix for ship combat, him and his team love their jobs.

((OOG More is coming, just got to finish dinner 😁))

Kora

Only one place for Kora. She will spend time on the ship staying out of the way of those who know what they are doing, she will do her daily calisthenics, her daily weapons forms, and she will humbly ask the Sergeant at Arms if she might participate in his training. "Sir, I would request that I might practice alongside your men while we are aboard the ship."
