Re: THE DOCKS.

  Kree was looking out at the river  again The sky was Black now. Millions of  stars  in the  sky and the god's fire  would flash now and then.

  Captain?</Brown

 kree looked  down on the   dock, a young woman stood there, her   clock   pulling   at her in the  breeze.Aye  , Lass... what do you want?

 <Brown>..you..saved  me.... about  2 years ago..in Tou... you send me on wa wagon to ironmound... i work for  a  wool merchant now...


  Kree stood  and walked down the  ladder to  the dock and looked at the girl,..it is nice to se  one  I have aided?.. but  how did you know i was here..and  why seek me  out  at this time

 merchants from Tou bring in wool from  farmers ..the   merchant treats those who  do business to a meal for serpent and Noodles..they drink, they talk..i listen...The Tou leadership has a Bounty on your head, and your cousins.. a smaller bounty on anyone with a crimson arrow... there are riders in the plains  , just beyound   Bowshot...

 ..Thank You  Lass,, Let ne give you...

 ..no?.. You saved my life, from folks who wpild have ruined it...ended it...I bear..much ill will towards Tou... if you want to reward me... return , so i know   Tou did not win..

 Alright  Lass..best get to your quarters...


 she   turned and walked  away and went into the   alley.

 Kree sighed  and   went back up the ladder.

Senses tingling, Lysander awakens and hears quiet voices.  No sounds of alarm, just feet silently retreating.  He goes back to sleep among the crates.

Re: THE DOCKS.

As the sun comes up, so does Lysander.  He will gather his wits, quickly inventory himself - Missing a hand axe! -  and go talk to Kree.

"Okay, that was an ... interesting evening.  What next, boss?"

Re: THE DOCKS.

  the  Sun was just peaking over the trees.. Darkness  more  or less  across the way.. Kree loked through the spy glass and he  saw the    long  bloat being  rowed.. he shook his head.

  He  calmly  put the spy glass away , polishing it  with his Clack  and stick it in the back  by the wheel...he says to Lysander.... frist i great  this..."master".. then we get washed  up and food, aand make sure  we are outfitted...We  will not  find  freindly merchants Until we reach  the Furman's trail

 The   boat  drew closer.. Kree   called softly down to the   waist of the ship,After this idiot arrives.. we  all go to the Plank to eat

 MIK!!!!..You lazy urchin!.. Get the ropes  ready, didn't Ya see us  comin ye No Good fer Nuthin'..

 Kree  stood  smoothly,  his bow  up  and  the   shaft drawn  Back to the Fletchings.. he held the  bow, it didn't  move.. Until the  Man who  was shouting, suddenly saw the clocked  Figure with a Drawn Bow... as soon as  Kree's eyes  Locked on his the  arrow  sped    hitting the Master's  Clock  and  Pulling him  down in the  seat as  the  shaft  bit  deep into the wood..

 The oars Man stopped rowing and  the   Mate  stood  up . Sorry?  My aim is off a bit from the   rise and fall of the waves... I meant to stick you hand to the tiller.

 Who the 9 hells  are you!

 I am the fellow, who along with his Unti, aided Mik   and Hooka in defending this   piece of driftwood, you call a ship!..Who the 9 hells leaves  a  Boy and a over grown newt to guard a ship at night?...Brink your Own Boat in Captain,  and when you secure   your Long Boat, Come into the Plank For   Mornfest..

 The first Mate  said,..Your Name!

 kree  simple    waved   his hands  to the  arrows  who stayed with him,..let us go, freshen up , then get some food...You too  Hooka,  Lie on the    dock by the doors   the sun will be up in another  few Minutes, we'll get some fresh food  in you..Mik will want to see you fed as well..

 The dragonette stretched   and    Hopped onto the Docks to  follow the arrow  to the  Inn.

Riven stretched and watched the altercation with a passing interest. Once Kree started for the Plank, she would turn and follow.

Re: THE DOCKS.

<<<<<<<<<< from Plank

   As SHadow walked out...Right, Hooka?  Finish up..we are about to Leave...


 the dragonette  eager   Gobbled the last bits of   meat and bones.

  The taller of the mens  with a fellow  about Ivy's Size whispering to him  said,we're gettin' this straight   now.. we don't  take orders from you..Lomn Ear...


 Pointy ear, you  crab brain?..  Long eared elves  are some ki d of  missformed folk... Now?.. I really believe your friend there has his lips on you ass and is using your Mouth to  talk through?.. Why don't you step up?..or do you want your tall friend to   die in your place...

 The  Embarrassed  Man stepped forwardMen have  died for less then that, Elf boy...

 ..Indeed..almost 20 , yester eve..but? let us have this out..here and Now, so the rest of  the   cruise might be  close to looking like we have sailors on board?

 Ivy stepped out  one more tart in his had   as he watched with a amusement.

 .. we  use    blades, and not that  thing you have on your belt... a Dagger...


 Ivy laughed,

   Kree set down his  pack Bow  and   quiver his clock  and took off his leathers  and   shirt..

I'll use one of these... he   took  a throwing dagger from his left Bot, the  small leaf shaped   blade glistened in teh Sun,  the fellow  took off his  striped  sailors   shirt and the other  Crewmen Grinned..

 ..You?  Talk one  one? see if you can talk without  your  friends  sweet   word drifting up  your ass.. and  say ..'when'

  The  Tall fellow  said....GO...!

 the sailor  swirled his  Dagger  and went to close  on Kree when he reached for His belt  and Sent a throwing dagger  through the air to   LAnd  in the  base of the Man's throat...

 The fellow dropped  to his knees, the tall man said ....YOU CHEATED!

 Kree walked over to the man who was  holding the  tiny  hilt of the blade, even as  blood flowed  down his chest..I did not?.. I said I would use one..and I only used one...

  Kree looked at the Man whose eyes pleaded with him...I need that Blade.. when i pull it out , you will bleed and you will die, and you will make some orcs a happy meal... Unless there is a kindly  healer  about?.... should you be healed.. You will have elarned a lesson..should you die..maybe you friends will have learned... Fare you well...// Kree  jerked the balde out  swifty, and the Blood   flowed.. theman gasped  as his friends  looked on..

 Time to man the ship..get going, or Join him...

 the crew rushed to the Boat leaving the gagging man to his fate

 Daggers?  Gods be damned they did not  pick these poeple for thier  wit!

   Kree  wiped   the  Blade  and slipped it into the sheath.. then set  about getting   dressed again.

"Pity...and here I thought we were getting a show..." she stated as she passed, heading towards the ship. Whether she was referring to Kree being topless or the 'fight,' she didn't specify.

Re: THE DOCKS.

But they did not quite escape the Knight, who had not been seen up till now. He had...an extended stay at the Palace last night. He seems normal, if pensive, and his armor is shined especially bright. It's a literal mirror finish, should someone wish a reflection.

"Captain? ...A word if I may? Something...interesting has come up. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you guessed what it is."

Re: THE DOCKS.

Luthien chuckled.

"No, nothing so ill fated as that. No, your Eta spent a considerable amount of time on my behalf last night, and a certain...hunt, if you want to call it that...of mine was successful, at least in a preliminary sort of way."

Luthien's smile is...as radiant as ever it's been seen to be.

"His majesty granted his permission for me to court her Her Highness Dala. I expect...it will be about a month or so to sort that out, for good or ill."

So, he hands the Captain a scrap of leather with an arcane symbol on it, and he has another of his own.

"...That means I will have to remain here for a time. However, should something of great need come up, you can have a mage use that to contact me by spell...given the life you lead, it is not out of the question you will come upon a large enough group of slavers that assistance is required. Should you find such a nest...let me know."

But in the meantime, this particular son of the Huntress has fairer quarry in mind, at least in the short term.

 Kree  takes the   leather  and   carefully places it in his backpack. Then turns to Luthien, offering his  arm  for a wrist shake.

  we are  heading into Olant.. the  the  FurMans Way.. we  seek somethign for the Emperor. we are goign to  find our share of   Slavers, I am certain.. as well as  Some hargen reuglars , if  we   make it to Yad

Re: THE DOCKS.

Luthien claps wrists in turn.

"Your life is dark, yes. But the shadow you cast hides those who have been exploited from those who would use them. The people you save never saw the shadow you deal with, as I have. No. To those you save, you're the hero. You're the light. In your twin sisters, there is balance...and for all the dark you live in, many perfectly ordinary people find the light you leave behind. Even a Knight like myself, in open battle, must survive the darkness of war, to bring light to the people behind the lines he fights for. When the night is darkest, remember what the person you're saving feels like."

With yet another smile, "Good hunting, Captain. May the huntress help you find your quarry. I know from experience it will not escape you long."

Re: THE DOCKS.

  A very real smile  game to Kree. Closed Mouth and stern...but  real...'ware the ways of that court. There are people who hide behind  silks  and  furs, that are worse then the ones  we fight who wear leathers   and  rags...

 ..The Emperor  is good enough, to those who sure  him. I is   hard and cold to those  he views  as   foes..  Ivy   offers   Luthien  his hand  as he  is  ready to pass him.

 ..Fare you well.. we  will mists your  Healing, and  moderation.. I see many fires  and ugly Deaths where we are going, with out your watchful eye!

......

On board the ship the Master  and Mate  were getting the  crew settled, Mik and Hooks  stood  on the   docks   as the fr4esh water Casts where loaded last

As Luthien leaves, Krwyn offers him a hand: "Find your love and enjoy your stay at court! Keep an eye on the Emperor, besides the two eyes on the Princess. We'll meet again and drink a pint here in The Plank, or in your appartment in the Palace."

In reply to docks (msg # 291):

"Well...I still know how to see the darkness in men's souls, and I still see the light too. That works in court as well in the wilderness. I know that a few of suitors competing will be dark indeed, and I heard about the Allfather priest you had to...deal with."

He nods at Ivy too, "I'll remember that. And yes, it is your enemies that should be afraid. Just remember to check for bad guys that look like they don't wanna be there. Those on the wrong end of the chain don't always want to be holding it."

He clasp with Krwyn as well, "This won't be the last you see of me. Like I told the Captain, it's inevitable you'll find a big enough nest you want help. And on that day, I will fight by your side once more."

Re: THE DOCKS.

  Hooka  boarded the ship and settled  dwon near the  Bow. Mik  boarded and began to lash down crates, as the Sailors    set the riggings and  started to cast off.

   Kree would board last, he waved to Luthien,when you hear of our return, meet us at the Plank , so we might have a Normal greeting , before  we attend   the Palace.

 The Master    Pointed the the  smaller  quarters   at the Bow.....There's  room for   4  people in there.. the rest will have to sleep on deck..., my crew gets the  spaces below deck ..Me and My Mate  and Mik  sleep in the Captain's  quarters

 the  ship warped  out into  the  River, turning it  bow  towards the South.. the sails  began to catch the wind... and the Arrows  were off.
