Wehnimer's Landing - Rescue Mission ANNOUNCEMENT This morning Mayor Walkar announced that a schooner captain in Wehnimer's Landing has volunteered to sail out to the krolvin slave trade routes to perform a rescue mission. The captain intends to sail out early tomorrow, at 10am elven on Feastday morning. The schooner will leave from the South Wharf in town and can only take ten passengers. Mayor Walkar commented, "Over the last several weeks, the krolvin have hit our town twice, each time making off with our fellow citizens whom they captured for slaves. I am tired of standing by, watching as our townspeople look over their shoulder each day, wondering when the krol will snatch them. We will not give up on protecting our people. We will find those taken from us, and we will make the krolvin bleed." OOC Note: Tomorrow morning at 10am Eastern (Saturday, 4/26) a schooner captain will select only ten volunteers to sail out on his ship to attempt a rescue mission against krolvin slavers. If you'd like a chance to be one of those heroes, then make sure you're at the South Wharf in town by 10 am eastern. Please be aware that the rescue mission will take two hours. -GM Kenstrom- Waylayer of Wehnimer's Landing Human Guru Giantmen Guru _______________________________________________________________________________________________ [Wehnimer's, Schooner Docks - 4] Narrow bouyed catwalks spider out from the South Wharf, bobbing with the frequency of the waves in Darkstone Bay. Several two-masted schooners are moored nearby. You also see the Ryjex disk, a volunteers list, a rough leather-faced dockhand and a swirling portal. Also here: Zentalin, Radeek, Gwenievierre, Lord Verson, Trumen, Avalera, Riend, Ryjex, Lady Vlarei, Grhim, Lord Demyse who is sitting, Qaatil, Lord Petru, Widmer, Kub, Geijon who is sitting, Glyhne, High Lord Turinrond, Alasatia, The A'Mazing Mumblz, Sabreon, Duonegra, Clunk, Kerl, Vultieri Obvious paths: out Zentalin huskily says, "Though the young are ambitious to prove their strength." As Mumblz bounces off you, small quantities of ash puff around you. Geijon says, "I plan to go with Kerl." You turn to Mumblz and cheer! Clunk deeply asks, "Who be tuffest?" Zentalin huskily says, "Only the strongest of our champions should attend." Demyse quietly says, "Two priests.. two empaths." Glyhne softly says, "I want to go." Clunk deeply asks, "Kerl is goin?" Mumblz squeakily says, "I nominate bremer da berewer." Kerl says, "Dunno who's goin'." Mumblz squeakily says, "She hates krovlin gud." Demyse raises his hand. Grhim says, "Whoever joins the list is going." Zentalin huskily says, "I would assist." Geijon says, "I'm less concerned with strongest. We simply need good composition." Petru says, "I am not the toughest but have been fighting with the drakes along time." Kerl says, "I'd say join the list as soon as it opens and we go from there." Vlarei huskily says, "I want kill Krol." >l list The volunteers list is currently closed. The volunteers list has the following restrictions: Account Check: Blocking characters on the same account. There appears to be no names written on the list. >ask dockhand about task You ask the dockhand a question about the task. The leather-faced dockhand says, "Reports have come in from all along the coast that krolvin slavers have been taking captives. Brave adventurers are needed to board these krolvin ships and rescue the prisoners before the krolvin make it to the Southern Waves, where the slave trade thrives." >ask dockhand about reward You ask the dockhand a question about the promised rewards. The leather-faced dockhand says, "You'll get to keep whatever booty you plunder from the krolvin." A rough leather-faced dockhand says, "Any questions about the task at hand." A rough leather-faced dockhand says, "The list holds ten names." A rough leather-faced dockhand says, "Those ten go." Speaking to a rough leather-faced dockhand, you ask, "Will you be selecting the 10?" A rough leather-faced dockhand says, "The ten will select themselves by joining the list." Weepy just opened a volunteers list for 10 signups! Geijon signs his name on a volunteers list. Grhim signs his name on a volunteers list. Riend signs her name on a volunteers list. Mumblz signs his name on a volunteers list. Kerl signs his name on a volunteers list. Zentalin signs his name on a volunteers list. Alasatia signs her name on a volunteers list.

We will only be able to stay out for two hours before krolvin reinforcements will arrive. Volunteers should be ready for combat and able to devote two hours to the voyage. Duonegra says, "Good luck." Sabreon says, "Good luck guys and gals." Widmer yells, "Avenge us all!" Speaking raspily to Kerl, Turinrond says, "Good luck to you." Glyhne says, "I can do this." Vlarei huskily says, "Good luck!" Radeek says, "Does well folks." Petru says, "I think its very dumb not taking Archales." Verson says, "Go get em sailors."

The leather-faced dockhand says, "The schooner sails in 7 minutes." A rough leather-faced dockhand nods to you and says, "Okay, Bremerial, time to board." He directs you onto a nearby schooner, which you quickly board. [Great Western Sea, Schooner - 4] Two tall masts reach skyward, each bearing a large unfurled sail. The salty sea air has smoothed and faded the blond wood of the deck and rails, although the ship's wheel maintains a rich honey hue, having been meticulously polished by an assiduous crew. An iron chain as thick as a giantman's arm secures a heavy black anchor to the ship's bow. You also see a burly sailor. Also here: Kerl, The A'Mazing Mumblz, Geijon, Grhim, Riend, Zentalin Obvious paths: none The burly sailor nods to you and says, "Glad to have yer aboard. We be sailing for der Northern Waves of der Great Western Sea in search of a krolvin warship reported patrolling dose waters. Be sure to ASK me questions to find out about yer task. When we arrive, yer need to board the warship, kill der krolvin yer find, rescue the prisoners, and raze der warship! Until we arrive, relax, get ready, get to know yer fellow boarders, and wait for der fun to begin!" Glyhne steps onto the schooner and is greeted by a burly sailor. Alasatia steps onto the schooner and is greeted by a burly sailor. Sabreon steps onto the schooner and is greeted by a burly sailor. A burly sailor exclaims, "I've seen jellyfish with more backbone than dese Krol!" The burly sailor says, "Dere's been frequent raids on coastal towns by da krolvin. We heard dere was a sighting of a krolvin warship on da Great Western Sea. We need adventurers to board der warship and rescue der prisoners dat der krolvin took." The burly sailor says, "Volunteers have two hours to raid dere warship before we expect krolvin reinforcements to arrive. The schooner sails in 5 minutes." The burly sailor says, "Dere's been frequent raids on coastal towns by da krolvin. We heard dere was a sighting of a krolvin warship on da Great Western Sea. We need adventurers to board der warship and rescue der prisoners dat der krolvin took." The burly sailor says, "Volunteers have two hours to raid dere warship before we expect krolvin reinforcements to arrive. The schooner sails in 4 minutes." >ask sailor about task Grhim asks the sailor a question about the task at hand. The burly sailor says, "Dere's been frequent raids on coastal towns by da krolvin. We heard dere was a sighting of a krolvin warship on da Great Western Sea. We need adventurers to board der warship and rescue der prisoners dat der krolvin took." You ask the sailor a question about the time limits. The burly sailor says, "Volunteers have two hours to raid dere warship before we expect krolvin reinforcements to arrive." >ask sailor about prize You ask the sailor a question about the promised rewards. The burly sailor says, "Yer can keep anything yer find on dere krolvin or da warship." >ask sailor about quit Sabreon asks the sailor a question about the promised rewards. You ask the sailor a question about leaving the party. The burly sailor eyes you and reluctantly says, "Iff'n yer really want to leave the quest, ask me again within 30 seconds. You will not be able to come back." Quitting the quest will end the quest for you. You will be sent back to the South Wharf. If you are sure you want to quit the quest, ASK the sailor about it again. >ask sailor about heal You ask the sailor a question about healing. He says, "Yer don't look like yer need a healer right now, but iff'n yer do need one just let me know. The cost will come out of yer reward, though, so iff'n yer have herbs or a healer, I'd use dem first!" >ask sailor about raise You ask the sailor a question about a raise. He says, "Yer don't look like yer need a cleric right now, but iff'n yer die on the schooner and need one just let me know. The cost will come out of yer reward." A burly sailor signals to his crewmates, who unwind the gangplank's anchoring. When it is completely free, the sailors step to the top of the gangplank and, moving as one, pull it aboard to stow for safe-keeping. The burly sailor says, "Dere's been frequent raids on coastal towns by da krolvin. We heard dere was a sighting of a krolvin warship on da Great Western Sea. We need adventurers to board der warship and rescue der prisoners dat der krolvin took." Kerl says, "Alright, let's make it happen." Having cast off from the wharf, the schooner steers into the choppy waters of Darkstone Bay. The burly sailor says, "Volunteers have two hours to raid dere warship before we expect krolvin reinforcements to arrive. Our men will extract any stragglers in 2 hours and 0 minutes. We need to be clear of here when dere backup arrives!" The vast Great Western Sea encompasses the view as the schooner navigates from the bay. The schooner continues to sail through the white-crested waters. The schooner cuts into the rougher waters, bobbing up and down as she skirts the Great Western Sea. A large warship appears on the horizon. Judging by the colors she flies, she's krolvin. Kerl says, "There she is, coming into sight." Sabreon says, "Be ready." Zentalin huskily exclaims, "Ship ahoy!" The krolvin warship lowers its sails and drops anchor. It seems to be waiting for you. You join Kerl. Sabreon recites: "Join kerl" With the warship aport, the schooner skims the water to stay alongside the sea vessel. Sabreon recites: "Be ready" Two burly sailors appear carrying long chains with grappling hooks. They take aim and let the chains fly! Each makes contact with the krolvin warship, and the hooks hold fast, resulting in a grappling gangplank linking the two ships. A burly sailor says, "Good luck, team!" Kerl's group just went across a grappling gangplank. [Krolvin Warship, Bow - 4] Carved with intricate geometric patterns, the weathered oak railing stretches aft on both the port and starboard sides. Carved to resemble fish bones are evenly spaced support posts that keep the warped railing at about six handspans above the deck. Just beyond the bow, where the railings meet in a horozontal arc, is the top of a dusky blue figurehead. You also see a grappling gangplank. Also here: The A'Mazing Mumblz, Geijon, Grhim, Riend, Zentalin, Glyhne, Alasatia, Sabreon, Kerl Obvious paths: east Kerl says, "Go for it Mumblz."

A burly sailor exclaims, "Look lively, everyone! It's time to go!" The sailors hurridly prepare the schooner for departure, urged on by the thick smoke and flames issuing from the krolvin warship. One of the sailors, still on the krolvin warship, disengages the chains linking the two ships and sends the chains hurtling back onto the schooner. Sailors on the schooner quickly wind the chains. The sailor jumps onto the schooner's deck just as the smaller ship begins to pull away. Flames leap from the krolvin warship, and acrid black smoke fills your lungs. The oppressive heat radiating from the krolvin warship wanes as the wind catches the schooner's sails, drawing her away from the flaming ship. A tall column of smoke from the burning warship is all that remains visible from the battle as the schooner sails away. A burly sailor exclaims, "Krolvin are so ugly, iff'n I scraped the barnacles off me hull using one of der faces, it'd be an improvement!" Slowing her speed, the schooner navigates into Darkstone Bay. The schooner pulls up along the spindly docks extending from the South Wharf. The crew quickly set about mooring the vessel to the dock. A burly sailor grins widely and says, "Good job, team. You rescued all of the prisoners and burned down the warship!" His look becomes grim as he turns his face toward the horizon and murmers, "Unfortunately, there is always another." For your service, you will receive our sincere thanks." You are escorted off the schooner and onto the South Wharf.
