Re: RIVER #2
The ship glides towards the Olant Docks. Thorches and Lanterns Burn to Light the docks, a few magic Globes places here and there for the same purpose.
Of Course the Light draws serpents , as can be seen from swirls in the water, or clashes in the river between some serpents that caught a hapless animals tryign to swim, or perhaps another serpent that was wounded by it last meal.
a small , one sail boat with a Dozen of so sailors in draw near..
Hail! The Ship!,,, Name of Ship and Purpose!
Vogg shouts back, We be the Soggy Hammer, from Ironmound, got some goods fer sellin' and might be buyin' if yer Slit trench of a town has any goods fer honest folk to buy!
The Speaker from the boat calls back,Right.. then ye take the Firest berthin' then we don't want Ironmound types tying up Docks fer folk who like to deal with us..
sounds goo d enough fer me...
The Skiff truns away , heading back down the line a man with a torch waved to Vogg's Ship to a rickety dock nearest to them, a good 30 yards from the main wharf.
Vogg had the ship brought about so it would be facing up river. before anchor.
LInes were cast and the ship secured, a very broad Gang plank lean up from the wharf to the ship and was secured. Two rough looking Men came up the Ramp , stoppign at the edge. Vogg met them.

The Man grins and overs his wrist to be grasped.Done!

The Man grinned , Whistled to the others and the men got up from their lean-tos and moved to start.
Flax and Ginna will go man the market space to deal witht he coin and such.. dunno get them hurt or allow them ta be hurt, , it won't be good fer ye...
The Fellow looked at Vogg evenly....you think your sailors can take us ?
ayte? But they woudna be on this ship if i wasn't sure...now.. they ain't who you have to worry about.. its me mercs..
Kree with his hood up, only his nose and chin visable in the torch lights, Ran into a frigate from Vestes... the other ship with us, is taking it back to Ironmound as a prize...there are not any vestes Marines alive...if there are any, they are whishing they were not...we had to earn our coin on the wat down to the Dung hole... do not test us....
He Truns to Vogg,we are going into town, we will meet you where we agreed...
Vogg and kree grassp wrists , he walks down the ramp, not caring if he bumped into a dock workers nor not as he walked straight down the planks.
Ivy grins , though he has his hood up as well.....do not mind him too much, he gets testy when he has not kill a human for a few hours.... Kree waits to make certain the Arrows are coming down the ramp so they can travel up the muddy path to the docks and the 'dockside market place"
