He spreads his arms wide as the skyship raises up and sets off eastward. Welcome aboard. Katniss will show you to your quarters. Try not to distract Chief in engineering or Chronos at the helm. At least until we are farther away from Sharn. Far too many towers to smash into here
Eoni coughs whilst laughing, waving her hand to clear the smoke, Who said anything about me having to be professional? That doesn’t sound like me at all...
You spend the next few days getting to know the crew as the Vagabond plows through the sky towards the Tempest Isle. Persons of note are of course Captain Ryder, the Tiefling captain, Qura Deathspeaker first mate and Kalashtar cleric, Bosun Grimgor Ironhide, Helmsman Chronos (human dragon marked spellcaster), Chief (a grizzled artificer who lives below decks with his steel defender) and Sniper Katniss Blackpowder, a feline shifter with a propensity for muskets, relatively uncommon (due to price)ranged weapons. Both Draskan and Rollo have knowledge of how these weapons operate
She looks down at Rollo and smiles. Oh? Only interested in my muskets? Just like all the other boys.... I’m kidding of course. I have a few spare ones laying around if you want to upgrade from that archaic crossbow of yours. You can’t use my personal one though. Chief made it specifically for me and it won’t fire if anyone else handles it.
She rolls her eyes and hands a bag of shot and a musket from an arms locker over to Rollo. That’s the great thing about muskets, you don’t need to be a meat head to do damage. There’s a practice range off of the art deck. Let me m is if you need any more ammo, I’ll be at my post atop the crows nest
Diomedes takes the time to speak to the various crew members, before cautiously approaching Chief after hearing about him from the others and full of curiosity toward meeting his steel defender.
The old man squints through the doors as it opens. Aah a Cannith! Welcome to the engineering deck how can I help? He welcome you into a heavily warded workshop in the bowels of the vessel. Padding backwards and forwards is a robotic mastiff, initially wary of you before making its way over to be petted.
Ah, I am actually a House Jorasco man, but I mark your meaning sir. I have come that I might meet this handsome fellow.
Diomedes dishes out many pets to the mastiff
You are his creator I take it? I would like to know more about him and his creation. I want to understand his kind as well as I do my own. I believe there is a bond to be explored in our shared unborn beginning in life. Who better to pick the brain of than one who knows every inch of his body and mind. May I talk with you while you work? I will do my best not to get in the way, despite my size.
Chief smiles warmly down at the steel defender before looking up at Diomedes You may have been given purpose by Jorasco but Cannith were responsible for your creation and sentience, I am just sorry about what they made you all do during the war. Several of my colleagues and I were a part of the movement to give all Warforged the same rights ass everyone else and while it cost me my position within House Cannith I would do it again. You are so much more than Canis here, he is loyal and brave but has no free will of his own, he requires direction, especially in combat situations, to function. They were prototypes of a sort for your race but are not truly alive, unlike you. That is why what happened during the War and directly after it was so reprehensible. We brought hundreds of thousands of you into this world and made you perform the most dangerous, thankless and brutal tasks and then your creators wanted to discard you like broken tools afterwards. I couldn't stand it..... He pauses for a breath, spotting the symbol of Boldrei on your shield.Anyway here we are. I must admit it pleases me to see that you have found faith and a focus on fixing ills not making more of them
I...I cannot thank you enough. Everything you sacrificed has benefitted my people thousand-fold.
My faith gave me a feeling of belonging so clear and powerful I did not think it possible until it was upon me. Boldrei fosters community, brotherhood, welcoming. I firmly believe this is something my people silently yearn for and her hand guides my mission. Oh, I'm sorry, I get carried away.
About Canis; is there a way to give him the same sentience as my people? Even if we could have him enjoy the same mind as that of the animal he takes the form of.
Diomedes visits Chief each day they are aboard the ship, eager to pet the pupper and hanging on every word from the Chief. Clearly hero-worship/man-crushing

Down boy, Eoni smirks, Although you being the Captain of this fine vessel, I do believe that does mean I am at your service for this voyage.
Eoni lifts her skirts and does a little curtsey with some flair.
Draskan nudges Eoni whilst engulfing her in a plume of steam with a snort Try not to embarrass us, we’re supposed to be the professionals
Eoni coughs whilst laughing, waving her hand to clear the smoke, Who said anything about me having to be professional? That doesn’t sound like me at all...
As long she remains professional when we need it most, that’s what matters mutters Rollo. He moves off to the side and lights up his pipe once more
Suck up! You you know those things will kill you right?

Rollo after a sleep explores the ship. He comes across Katniss below decks.
good morning! He tilts the front of his hat in a nod. I’m doing some exploring, and heard you have some fine weaponary to hand. May I take a look?
She looks down at Rollo and smiles. Oh? Only interested in my muskets? Just like all the other boys.... I’m kidding of course.

I wouldn’t let him handle your muskets, not that his hands are big enough Draskan let’s out a short in laughter

Hello? Sir Chief? May I come in?

Rollo accepts the musket, eyeing it over and checking the sights.
would you have any others for sale, or upgrades?
Katniss points to the arms locker, There’s some pistols in there if you prefer being a bit closer
