    (Sigh. Sniped. Leaving original post in tags) Evan quietly watches the masquerade party going on before his eyes, not seeming too shocked, but noticeably impressed by the feat. He listens through the conversation until the problem of voices arises.

    "The harbor master works near salt water all day... I've fished for a living for a couple years, it tends to weigh heavily on your throat... We could be escorting the... Ahem.. Harbor master, and being his linguists... Seeing as he lost his voice recently." Evan suggests this, knowing it would take a good lie for it to all go through, but at least partially knowledgeable about the subject.

    "Really, all we need is for them to grant us permission to see over the boat. Given that, we can most assuredly find the ring, and maybe the money that the lady spent.... And possibly gather a motive, as well.


    Evan

    Evan laughs and pats Erech on the shoulder. "I thought that was wonderful mate. You'll have to try me sometime, maybe in a less public area."

    "Seems to me we've got something to go on now. I'm all for it." Evan says this with a smile, and thinks quietly to himself... Especially since I can't think of anything better..

    "When we get on the ship however, I think it'll be crucial to get the ring above all else... We can worry about the money and motives later, no?"

    Erech

    "Sure, mate. Love to," Erech growls at Evan's suggestion to try to impersonate himself, attempting to mimic Evan's accent, though with a much deeper tone.

    Erech nods his head towards the line. "S'pose we need to stay in line, at least get closer to the front, eh? And I agree, Evan, the ring is the primary concern, with the others secondary. But enough of that for now. What brings y'all to our empoyer's employ?" Erech furrows his brow, realizing that didn't sound quite right, before shrugging and looking from Evan to Lakaran.

    "I'll go first. My father's very minor nobility, and I'm the third son, so off to Church I go. Blech. Boring. Dull. Tedious. Choose your description. I was hoping to become a cleric, but I never heard The Call as they like to name it. It's just not my idiom," he says this last with a big grin. "'Sides, Heironeous is stuffy. Anyway, I took the few useful things I had picked up and exited the temple for home. Got a bit of money from my father's senechal and a letter which had arrived for me from the Lady Lavinia. The rest is history, as they say."

    Erech leans in towards his companions, whispering conspiratorially, "How does she know who we are and what we can do? Any guesses?"

    As the three of them move to the back of the line to wait to speak with the harbor master, Lakaran decides to making smalltalk with Erech would speed things up considerably. "You know, I hadn't thought about that until now. I have no idea how she knew about me, I haven't done much to give myself much of a reputation. My father used to own a large company..." Lakaran trails off. "I don't think that has anything to do with us. I've been working at Orimander's Emporium of the Soul. I came home from work yesterday and got the letter from Lady Vanderboren. I really don't understand why Lady Vanderboren chose to contact me for this, but I plan to make the most of it. I can get a few days off work to deal with this. The pay is going to be outstanding." Lakaran grins. "Should be exciting too, if nothing less." Lakaran leans up against the wall, props his foot up and settles in for the long haul. He reaches up and takes Lemix out of his pocket to pet him. After a few minutes, he sets him on his shoulder to climb around.

    Evan smiles at the question and lets both men say there stories first, moving with the line and listening to both stories with equal interest. When his turn finally comes around... "Honestly? A run in with some thugs, I think. It's the only thing I've ever done that would even run close into this kind of venture. At least we know why Tristan's here. The lady must have spotted his ego while he was out privately investigating'." Evan finishes with a mild smile, and a joking tone.. However poor the joke.

    Thinking for a moment, and then breaking the silence... "Where do you think he got off to, anyway?"

    Chuckling at Evan's joke, Erech grumbles, "He said he was going to do some investigating. I assume he's looking into Vark's background or something like that. I do know he mentioned meeting him at the Bent Goblin in the morning, though. I hope his hunting is fruitful." Erech adds quietly.

    "So we've got our stories, now. So what else can you two do?" Erech asks with a great degree of interest, curiosity clearly showing through. "I can reset my abilities each day depending on what I need to be able to do. You've seen part of what I can do today. I can also briefly force someone to do as I say for a single action. You know like jump, run, drop, fall."

    Just shrugging, Evan looks a bit past Erech when he answers. "Just your run of the mill magic user. I imagine I can be slightly useful, and I've studied alot about plants... Know a fair bit about scrolls and potions.. That's about it. Nothing near as amazing as what you can do, my friend." Evan's face turns a slight shade of red, and steps forward as the line moves.

    Catching Lemix as he jumped off his shoulder, Lakaran pets the small rat and replaces him on his shoulder."My parents sent me through a great deal of schooling. I eventually apprenticed under Wizard Selven Torst. I feel like I had learned a lot, but my training came to an end after the family business collapsed." Lakaran goes silent again. "Since I ended my training, I've been studying the magic items at Orimander's shop as a way to keep learning."

    After a small pause, Lakaran changes the subject. "Erech, you aren't casting spells. Or at least spells that I can tell. How do you do what you do?"

    Erech

    Erech shrugs, but smiles broadly. "They're just abilities, not spells. I suppose they're a bit easier than spells, since I don't have to worry about components or gestures," he explains. He tilts his head to one side as he continues in his gravelly rumble, "Basically, I meditate for a bit in order to get varied sets of abilities. I'm not very accomplished at the moment, but eventually I should be able to have a few different sets at a time."

    After a brief pause, he perks up and seems to take a posture of a lecturer. "You see, there are entities known as vestiges, which exist outside the normal purview of deities. In order to experience some semblance of existance again, they lend their powers to people who know the proper routines to ask for their aid." Beaming, Erech growls, "I am one of those people. We are called Binders."

    Default The Savage Tide: There is No Honor

    The night line seems to take forever and forever to progress with only a couple feet of movement after a long period of waiting. At the very least though you talk more amongst yourselves and learn some interesting facts about each other while you attempt to get in to see the harbor master. Events of note were few and far between with a couple of minor scuffles breaking out among several sailors in line seeking to advance their position. At one point there was also a great deal of commotion out in the harbor when a mishap happened during the course of the unloading of one of the ships.

    After a long and restless (and probably irritating)night though, you can watch the sun coming up over the horizon to reveal just how much progress had been made in your line. The result was...disheartening to say the least bit. With a collective groan the three head off to the Bent Goblin in order to meet up with Tristan to see what the bald man might possibly have learned.

    The Bent Goblin was a dimly lite establishment that seemed to cater to those seeking privacy in their dealings and what not. Behind the bar counter an old wizened goblin could be seen rubbing down the counter top and peering out at the patrons with sharp beady eyes. Taking a seat in one of the more...easily visible tables, you resign yourselves to wait for Tristan as business begins to pick up. Time passes and no Tristan made himself apparent...

    Just when worry begins to gnaw at you though he comes stumbling through the door way making a bee-line for the stairs leading to the second floor. Unlike his bright and aware appearence the night before, Tristan seems dead tired.

    Lakaran Tolivar

    As the three of groggy men sit around, drinking coffee to stay awake this morning, Tristan stumbles in. Without looking at them, or even realizing they are waiting for him, Tristan walks up the stairs and disappears. Lakaran points to Tristan as he walks by, half asleep. He stands, pushes his chair in, and buys another coffee to take to Tristan and himself. The little sleep he did manage to get last night was always short lived and uncomfortable. In hindsight, going home and sleeping in his soft bed would have been a much better plan.

    "What room is that man in? He's so exhausted he didn't even see us," Lakaran asks the innkeeper as he pays for the coffee. Both cups in hand, Lakaran begins to walk up the stairs to find Tristan.

    "Now, what d'ya think that's all about?" Erech growls to Evan as Tristan heads upstairs. When Lakaran follows, Erech stands and stretches, arching his back like a cat. "I suppose we should follow, too. Maybe he doesn't wish to share information with the lovely patronage of this establishment," he finishes with a wink to Evan as he heads up the stairs.

    Tristan

    Tristan was in work mode. Nothing else would come across his mind except how to handle the current task he had set for the job. Everything was completely planned out in his head; Watch until sun comes up, Watch another hour, go back and take a four hour nap, return for six more hours. Admittedly, it wasn't a particularly clever or demanding task, but paying rapt attention for the eight or so hours one should be sleeping did have a habit of being exhausting.

    Still, it was exciting, and in a way, fun, to sit around watching a boat in the dead of night for illegal activities. It was the whole reason he set out on this course of work. Perhaps if it was fun enough, he might just waive any reward of Lady Vanderboren's.

    That was yet to be seen, and currently, the 'nap phase' of his stake-out plan demanded his attention. He pulls the room key from his pocket and unlocks the door, but doesn't bother locking it again once he's in. No point really if he wasn't going into complete unconsciousness.

    Default Sleep...sleeep......slleeeeeeepppp

    The inn owner's directions seem to be mostly un-need, just jerking a thumb to point at the top of the stairs and one of the two doors that are up there. One of which Tristan is opening and stumbling into. Once the three of you come into the unkept room you can easily find the bundle on the bed that is a sleep starved Tristan and a quick yank of curtains and blankets is enough to force the bald headed man to pay attention to you.

He tips his wide-brimmed hat back, folds his arms across his chest and crosses his right ankle over his left as he glares as the other bald man in the room.

    "We've all been awake a long time, now. Unfortunately, our little escapade didn't really work out so well, but hopefully we've got a plan and some information."

    Tristan

    Tristan having fallen onto the bed on his stomach, rolls onto his back to spy whoever it was that wanted to bother him. Sitting up, puts his hand on top of his head and tries to recollect the previous night.

    "Your... Your the ones I met last night, right?", he says, clearly not entirely on the ball. "Yah, that's right. Horrible pun, by the way. I wouldn't recommended making a career of it." Tristan takes a deep breath, and tries to put into words what he remembers.

    "Somethings definitely afoot here. I watched the ship all night and was rewarded. The Blue Nixie, though harbored a good distance from the dock, has plenty of activity on its deck. Sometime during the night, a foreign vessel sailed in and had some large pieces of cargo transferred to it. Otherwise, there was nothing else.

    "Now, I'm tired, but I'm not done monitoring what's going on. Some organization or gang is using the ship, and so at some point must have the people on it move on or off, or at the least have more cargo moved to it. If one of you could, go monitor the ship's activity for me and watch for any movement on or off the ship. If anyone moves off the ship, follow them, and find out who they are or who they work for."


    At this point, Tristan lets out a yawn. "As for a plan, that can wait. I'll take over watching the ship in four hours if nothing new comes up. 'Till then, I'm getting some rest." he says, falling back onto his pillow and pulling his sheet over his head.

    Realizing the extra cup of coffee isn't needed here, Lakaran turns and offers the fresh cup to the others in the room. "Coffee? Looks like he is too tired to drink it. It will be cold by the time he wakes up," says Lakaran. He takes a sip of his own. "From the sounds of it, we should go check the ship out. While we are there, we can form a plan. Sounds like more than the handful of men we bargained for will be there." Lakaran exits the room, closing the door quietly behind them and begins down the stairs. "Who wants to bet that the harbormaster is in on whatever shady dealings are happening on that ship?"

    Tristan moves under his sheet, trying to roll onto the other. In doing so, the sheet rolls with him, leaving his back uncovered (save for the shirt he did not take off). "Though I intend to rest, I'm not going to be able to reach a state of deep sleep. If wouldn't mind..." he trails off, assuming the others could guess to leave him be. Before they do, he rolls over again and adds, "Harbor Master probably doesn't have a clue, but that Vark guy sounds like he's bribed. Don't trust him farther than your willing to pay him."

    Erech nods to Evan as he departs the room. "Be careful, Evan. Just because we've been hired to take care of this doesn't mean someone else may not be interested as well," he advises with a grumble.

    Erech takes the offered coffee from Lakaran and takes a sip. "Ugh. Needs sugar," he growls as his face screws up in distaste. "Sleep well, Tristan. See you in a few," Erech adds as he follows Lakaran out of the room. "I think maybe we should catch up with Evan and check on the ship." After several moments in which he drinks the coffee down, Erech speaks up again. "I agree with Tristan on the Harbormaster. Most likely, he's simply incompetent."

    The morning finds pier five in the Merchant's District hectic as people bustle about to ready ships for departure, but it was nothing like the chaos of the Azure District from the previous night. True to Tristan's words the Blue Nixie sat out in the harbor, bobbing up and down gently in the waves with the morning sun beating down on it's deck and the nearby waters.

    All three of you peer out across the water to the ship, trying to make out an figures on board and are rewarded for your efforts. It looks as if the various grungy looking people on board are preparing to bring the ship back to the pier.

    Erech observes the movement of people around the harbor, both aboard ship and walking the piers and dockside wharves. When the Blue Nixie begins coming about and heading into dock, he stands up straight from his position leaning against the wall of one of the warehouses.

    "She's coming in. I'll assume we're still in observe mode until Tristan arrives?" he growls out, though not in an unfriendly manner. "Maybe I'll saunter a bit closer and see what I can hear." So saying, Erech steps back into the shadows. His features and appearance change somewhat to look like a common dockworker, plain and unremarkable. "Ahoy!" he grunts to the wizards. "Whaddya think?"

    "Looks great on yah. Mate."

    When the ship makes it back to the pier. Evan does something nuts. He walks over to the closest method of entry onto the ship, and will take a better look aboard.

    (About how big is the Nixie? And from where Evan is, how far would the 'farthest' part of the ship be?)

    (The Nixie is roughly 55-60 feet in length. And I don't know what your asking with that second question.)

    Evan's mode of entry, or at least the best one, proves to be a single extended gangplank. Once it came to the pier anyway. Once he started up it towards the main deck he spies two rough looking men and a woman bustling about with various ropes and other sailor things. They were busy bringing the ship into port after all, but they paused when one of them caught sight of Evan and they glanced at each other worriedly as one descended below decks and the other two approached. Hands drifting down to the daggers on their belts as the woman called out to him.

    Erech Agius

    Erech smacks his forehead at Evan's maneuver, but quickly recovers. "Lak? Cover us if you're able if this blows up in our faces." With that he rushes from their hiding spot and heads towards the Blue Nixie.

    "Oy! Bim!" he shouts as he approaches the ship's gangplank. "Sorry, mates. M' brother's a bit simple, but he loves the boats. This'n's pretty nice, eh?" Erech says as he tries to take Evan by the elbow. As he does so, he whispers to Evan, "Act simple, Ev. Avoid me while you make it a game."

    Aloud, Erech says, "C'mon, Bim. Let's go!"

    (The second part of the question was more a range theory, but your last post nullified it.. And I had worded it poorly to start.)

    Evan

    Evan quickly adopts the 'stupid brother' routine, but doesn't let himself be pulled much farther from scene than the end of the gangplank. Safely on the pier, Evan looks back to the Nixie to see if the man who went below decks resurfaces, and if so, whom with.

    Quietly he looks over to Erech and mutters... "If we just grab Tristan and Lakaran, we'd be good.. Assuming there ain't twenty of them below decks..."

    And then loudly... "Oh commin' then bro'fir! Just a peak! These men 'prolly let us on 'fer a few shinies, and we's got plenty!"

    Not quiiiiite sure if it'd work as a separate check, not that my roll would matter much, but can't hurt, and might be considered 'aid other'.

    Lakaran Tolivar

    Lakaran watches as the two men approach the ship from the base of the pier. He makes himself look busy by talking to Lemix. The shouting from the ship draws his attention, and he tries to listen without looking too interested.

    Lakaran watches for anyone who walks down the pier towards the Nixie, hoping the other two men don't send up an alert on the ship.
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.

    Default Penny for your thoughts...

    Both of the sailors gave each other knowing looks as Erech and Evan played the part of 'simple' brother and the parenting one trying to keep the simple one out of trouble. And with it came the almost audible sound of success as a greedy look came to the man's eyes when he glanced over quickly the woman who looked back with an equally wicked glimmer in her eyes.

    "I suppose we could let'em look around for a price, what do ya think?"

    "...coudn't hurt to let Bim have a quick look around the deck...for a gold or two." The man said practically salivating at the thought of the money. On the other hand the female sailor looked fairly dissuaded with the price, after all what commoner could afford that sort of price?

    Almost expectantly the man jabbed his hand out palm up for the offering while the other came to rest on the hilt of his dagger in a not so subtle suggestion to pay or get away.

    Erech Agius

    Erech seems to consider the offer a moment, then shakes his head as he reaches into his belt pouch. If it'll get Bim ta calm down and come back, I don't see it'll hurt much, seein's how I just got inta port an' paid. He steps forward and places a coin into the man's palm, then flips another to the woman. It'll make things a bit lean, but we'll make do. He says with the sigh of infinite patience of an older brother resigned to dealing with his simpleton brother.

    A'right, Bim. Get yer gaze on, hm? He turns to the man, trying to set him at ease and involved in a conversation. She is a lovely ship, mate. How long ya been crewin' her?
    I have returned!! Not that most of y'all know whom I am.
