Landon woke up and gave a yawn as he stretched. Stepping out of the bed, he put his armor back on and the sword in it's sheath he put in his belt. Picking up his bag and shield, he stepped out of the room and closed the door. He walked along the hallways and found the others, looking like they were waiting.
"I am sorry for not waking up earlier. The bed was just so comfortable. This home of yours is quite lovely, Ellondra."
"I am sorry for not waking up earlier. The bed was just so comfortable. This home of yours is quite lovely, Ellondra."
Ra'ive welcomed the sudden appearence of Landon. Conflict resolution and tension smoothing were obviously not his strong points, he'd have to make a note of it.
Why do I get this ominous, forboding feeling as we prepare for our mission? Something tells me we aren't all coming back :S
Evela woke up, late as usual. He found his robe had been cleaned, dispite that it had never left his room, the servants had cleaned it. He stared at it in wonder, 'That was sure nice of them' he thought to himself. He began to wander his way downstairs, waving at all the servants as they walked past him. Each and evey one of them looked horrified at him.
He was walking down the stairs to greet the group. "Good morning all!" He said cheerfully, he looked out the open door, a small gust of wind came inside and carressed his face. He suddenly remembered why the servants looked on horrified, he had left his mask in his room.
His face resembles his distress as he runs back up the stairs, as fast as his legs could take him.

'And he will have my back when we are in danger, shall I stab myself now and save the enemy the trouble?'
Ra'ive shook his head disapprovingly at Evla's forgetfulness, was it so hard to remember to secure a mask in the morning?
For lack of anything to do while they waited, he took one of his claws from its position strapped across his chest and retrieved a whet-stone from a pocket. The blades weren't in need of maintenance but it would pass the time and take his mind off the mission ahead.
It might just have been the usual pre-mission anxiety but he didn't like how this job felt. He looked at Ellondra and Landon before him, who would be making it back? Would any of them be making it back? Sure this time they had Evla's healing magic but would it be enough and how long would he be able to heal them?
'I am not dying until I see Sai'ed in a pool of his own blood, I promised myself that and I intend to keep it'

Evela quickly grabbed his mask and ran back down the stairs, the servants looking at him normally again. He made back to the group, breathing heavily. He looks up at them with his mask now firmly in place, "Sorry about that" He says aloud, he looked from face to face, 'I don't think any of them had seen my scars before...' he thought to himself. The pale monk glanced over at Acento, and began to be worried, 'Oh no!' he thought to himself, 'He still doesnt know I am a mage yet does he? What does he think of my scars' as he was thinking that last part he put his hand on his mask, to make sure it was still there. He looks around his party again, "Well... Shall we go?" He asked them all.
Ra'ive smiled, it seemed Acento hadn't been informed of their companions 'skills' and he would have to fill him in. How he would take then news was anyone's guess but he might aswell take the plunge.
"Have you noticed Evla carry any weapons? Have you not wondered what his skills are? Put simply, he's a mage"
Ra'ive chuckled inwardly to himself, he really wasn't the talker of the group.

"Thank you, Sir Landon. Ah--Evela has woken." Truly the man appeared to be built of sunshine and buttercups. "Let's be on our way, dawn broke nearly an hour ago."
Ellondra's diligence spoke through her rigid stance and earnestness to move. Like Ra'ive, she had strange portents of the action in Tartungen, perhaps intensified by the news of her comrade just minutes ago in the foyer. At least prior to this, they had had a task with direct instructions: Go to the mountains, kill the gryphon, return from the mountains. This was a foray into the unknown, and... As she cast a glance at Evela, probably the mystical. She didn't like it, but if it was a battle of will, she'd win.
"Come," she said simply, and led them out.

@lewism247: Bear in mind that magic is strictly and expressly forbidden in the land. If you've got your reasons for why he's so accepting then fine, but Acento just became the most open minded person in the group and I thought I'd point that out in case you missed it.
"Well atleast you took the news better than the king. That old bastard was ranting and raving for Gyia knows how long, especially when Evela asked to legalise magic" said Ra'ive almost enthusiastically.
It had been entertaining watching the King loose it at Skaar and Evela in turn. However the thought of Skaar sobered him for a moment, now that demon also had a spot on his shit list. However he couldn't do anything about it now and it was no use dwelling on it for the time being.
As they walked Ra'ive lit his pipe once more, he'd begun getting some of the lesser symptoms of BlackRock withdrawal again and he needed something to take the edge off, if not for a moment at least.

Vik'nar observed the Grim Lass and her crew as they made ready to sail. The ship was a trim and sleek xebec, perfect for tacking up along the coast when the wind was against them. A useful trait their pirate captain had likely used against ships with simple square sails, if they turned towards the wind they could slow to a crawl. Where as the xebec's triangle sails aligned with the ship, allowing it greater speed even when the wind wasn't right on their backs.
The Captain, like her ship, was barking orders from the helm with a swiftness all their own. It was a wonder the crew could keep up with the speed at which she told them to tie that down, store that there, and so on. That tall drow he'd seen yesterday was close at hand, although not taking any of that barrage of orders. Her second in command maybe? Did pirate ships even bother with that kind of stuff?

As the waves settled when they reached the inner sanctom of the harbour, the ship barely moved.
The crew was well in hand and ignored the lot that was heading toward their ship.
Enalia, the captain of the ship saw them coming and headed to them with the Drow in tow.
"Glad you have arrived. We are ready to set sail, but I am afraid I have things to do. My boatsman Evy will show you to your quarters"
The captain smiled and then faced toward Evy before walking off.
"Tell them about the incident will you?"
The Drow nodded with a smile and Enalia smiled as she walked toward the stern.
"Good morning, I am Evy Silverbreed but you can call me Evy. Your sleeping quarters are just down the hallway through that door and there is food in the brig if you can help yourself to it"
The Drow's words were warm and welcoming, making everyone feel at peace and out of danger.
His smile brought everyone's fears at ease for the time being and as he stopped, they wished for him to keep talking.
"If you would follow me, I will show you to the room where you will be staying"
Evy turned on his heel and smiled with glee to himself before nodding to two of the crew members as they passed.

'Fantastic another bile-inducingly cheery fellow'
Ra'ive rolled his eyes as he took after the man. For some reason he was more cautious than normal and found himself tensing at every loud noise, watching every mans hands and noting the entrances and exits.

The Drow's feet came to a halt and he turned to face the group.
"Ah yes. Wesburg was in short supply of ships due to the storm in the west. Most ships were grounded in either Lemsten or Stawt, so we needed to take on our obligated duty to the King and transport twelve of the prisoners being taken to Riverbank"
Evy pointed with his eyes at the town and there were a few men in chains boarding the ship across the pier.
"I assume you have seen some of the bunch. Sad that people would commit crimes on shore, it's so much easier to commit them on the seas"
The smile he gave to the group after he finished his sentance gave everyone a slight chill down their spine and Evy turned again and opened the only door in sight.
The door lead to a small pair of stairs which pointed to a tiny and tight hallway. So tight even that as one of the crew members came walking toward them, Evy had to hug the wall with his back so let the man get passed.
After the encounter, Evy waved the group to follow him downstairs and opened a door leading into a room with over seven bunkbeds, a table and some chairs and a few dressers.
It was all made out of wood, rather cheap wood, but it was kept in good shape and cleaned regularly. Or atleast what seamen would call cleaning.
There were a dozen of candles on the walls and dressers, as for one on the table but only two were lid, for the light coming in through the windows; two of them on the same wall giving view to the vast ocean, gave a good amount of light into the room.
"Please, make yourself at home. It is not much, but it is our only spare chamber. Captain Elania will come down shortly and address you herself"
Evy smiled and waited for the group to get comfortable.

"So this is basically a prison ship? Great" said Ra'ive un-enthusiastically, he'd been at sea once before and it had been far from a pleasant experience. Now it would be worse, coping with sea-sickness and trying to make sure his throat wasn't slit by an opportunistic prisoner.
Yep this trip was getting off to a crappy start, just as the last one had. Still he could do his best to make the trip tolerable. He turned to the party and declared.
"Dibs on top bunk"

Yes you read correctly! For the next couple of days prepare for Sea-sick Ra'ive! Now with 30% more sarcasm and bitching!
