Session 68: Scallywags: The Long Rest
General Summary
The dark night is all there is, but the voice of Lady Sasha Delnoire as she and her mercantile captain beg for audience and to come abord the Horizon's Call. This is but moments after the Bloom's Radiance, and the The Crew of the Horizon's Call is unsure of how react, especially with the trio of attendants at the lady yuanti's beck and call, and the duo of giant spiders who are just as well informed about etiquette as herself. The crew murmurs: where is Valia, what did happen to the stem, and where are we to go next? Nethpione and even Pojin warn Captain Brimstone that before the night is over, he must attend to the crew's curiosities, and not just an officer's moot as Aikhon suggestions.
In the interim, Dosgratin, Smee and Kevdae get the food ready for the crew, and drinks of course too. The talk with the Lady Sasha, and she pays Brimstone to allow her and her attendants to join the Call, for they came all this way here to seek grand adventure, and seeing how this crew had already taken care of that adventure, they must be heading to another grand one too. She also seeks more inspiration to add to her grand novels, one's famous in the great city of Grindstone, and she knows their great heroes, The Coming Storm. She even knows of Mila, who trained under Ezra Cloudmount.
During this conversatoin, their insensate prisoner screams from below, despite being gagged and bound. Mila goes below, and she seeks to quiet this witch, yet she is first stopped by Teyos.
"The stories did not do you justice; my mother never told of your beauty," the gnome says.
"I didn't know there were stories written about me," Teyos says as she chuckles in disbelief.
"Not written."
Teyos then warns the gnome, and hopes she realizes, that fate has brought her here. The sea-elf has seen many waves, many storms in her three centuries, but never any thing like this. Mila is here for a reason: she will help bring peace to the Faces of the King.
Mila goes inside, gets the key from Gyc, then she goes into the cell of the insensate woman, and she pummels her until she gargles and laughs on her own blood, coughing until she is quiet. At this point, Kevdae, Dosgratin, and Smee have come downstairs to waterboard the prisoner into submission, but seeing they are not needed, and Aikhon is calling out orders for the crews to gather to hear of the tell of the Golden Stem and what they must do next. Smee waylays this announcement and story at Mila's orders as he runs up and down the steps as ablely as he may trying to warn Aikhon for Mila about the truth of their success with the 8th Bloom may not be best shared with the wayward ears of their prisoners.
Aikhon announces, and says the crew has great need for rest, and that their success was founded on their skill and prowress.
Roland then speaks to Aikhon, worried of the next steps, and jabbing at Aikhon for hte lost egg, and the need for Ganoi to look at his injured arm.
At this point, the night is interrupted by horns and torches lit from an encroaching Kings' Flier. It raises the red flag of parlay, and it asks to dock with the Call and for their captains to speak. Brimstone allows this, and Captain Will Sterrum comes down a long rope ladder, and he hopes to gain an alliance at least for the night from the ghostly ship that still persues the crews still alive after the shock of the radiant 8th Bloom.
They agree, tenuously, still wanting Will and his crew to give more about their home, and even though Captain Will Sterrum is in agreement with the actions against Uhmar and his dark inquisition, he does not want his people to suffer needlessly at the wrath of another dragonkin.
Mila follows Will back up to his flier, for he knows her presence as High Mage of the Faces will ease his crew, and perhaps even show his decision to join this Crimson Fleet, even if maybe just for one night, may actually be worth it. Mila tells him that their crew, the Call, is solid on the whole, and that he should not worry, for she can be the bridge need to help peace be found, but also the divider to help protect the citizens of the lands during this trying times.
The rest of the night is filled with songs to say goodbye to fallen frinds, Flotsam of the Scions included, and drinks and food to help ease all minds and be prepared for another day of the unknown. However, Brimstone finds his way to Auna, to finally say apologies to her for what he and his people, his crew, have down to the orcish scions, and to show her that he gave his eye to ensure the future is realized. Auna is overwhelmed with emotion, and she guides Brimstone back to his bed, and she closes the door behind her.
Mila is met by Roland as she leaves from the Flier, for Roland wants a good night of gambling with new faces. They discuss apologies and goals, about actions that were made during this crazy day, and they agree there are certain actions that needed to be made for the larger goal, the greater good. They are legends forming, and now they have to earn their new generation of peace.
Aikhon joins Saerah aboard her ship and he teaches her Liar's Dice, trying to impress on her the choice she has made will come with many who try to manipulate her to gain access to her knowledge and power. He also wants to teach her of her family, of how Mym saw her as such, and how the dragonkin now can be her new family with this new quest and purpose.
Sometime in the night, Dupois is met by 17 cats outside the privy. He defends himself well.
The Next morning, they are met hours before the sun with reports of the ghostly ship attackin a smaller orc vessel to the south, and to the north, they see the Brackish fleet destroy, as the sun rises, to other scion fleets.
Aikhon and Brimstone arrange an officers moot, and after some discussion, they decide to head north aboard the Pursuer and of the dwarven vessels, to head off with the Brackish Fleet, to hopefully find parlay if not more to scavenge.
