Lelouch looks up, pausing for a second to weigh up the man, then speaks.
I am Lelouch. It's nice to meet you. he says with a smile on his face as he continues his conversation. No, I don't require anything but you are welcome to join me if you wish.
"Well since you invited me, I think it would be fine for a bit. So why are you voyaging forth?" Saren asks with much curiosity of Lelouch.
Lelouch stands up and looks out to the vast Ocean, as he begins to talk to Saren.
Very well. he says, as he takes a moment to think back on the past.
Several of us lived at an orphanage during out younger years, and we were taken away by a supposed member of the Scarred Saints. He could have killed us at any time if he chose, so I don't entirely know if he was bad, but after believing my Father to be dead, he, along with the Order of the Black Sun, turned up and killed the man who lead us astray, telling us of both the Black Sun and the Scarred Saints, further elaborating that we're the successors of The Black Sun and have been chosen to carry on their lineage and purpose, by hunting and killing powerful demons, so that those living in Golarion remain safe. There will be no thanks however, as The Black Sun doesn't exist. It's unknown to all outsiders, as is what we do.
"Well that is a bit more than I bargained for, but that is amazing and a sad story at the same time. So you are another one searching out demons to destroy. My blade leads me and would possibly be willing to join you assuming those I have talked to are apart of your group. No one really seems to be much of an extrovert like to to get to know everyone." Saren says with casualness joining lelouch to view the ocean with him.
We all have our own goals. I hate my father and plan to use this inherited position to gain enough power as the leader of The Black Sun to make this world a better place. If you're loyal to my cause, I'll support you to the best of my ability. Though, I have a trick or two of my own.
Lelouch grins as he looks to Saren, before turning back to the ocean.
"Interesting, interesting care to share... no I shouldn't pry... if we adventure together and this Black Sun is good on its cause I may just have to pick up that cause and fully join you, slaying demons isn't that bad when you have good companions. Someone has to do it, otherwise they would overrun the plane. So would you eventually be heading to their plane to snuff them out or just prevent them from materializing here?"
If such a thing is possible, then yes, but why limit yourself to hunting one thing? One day I plan to have my own Kingdom where all those who travel to it are welcome.
Lelouch places his hand over one side of his face and looks down in thought.
Saren you say? Well Saren, I'm creating a new order and if you'll agree to join, you'll become my first and hopefully most loyal member as one of The Black Knights, starting now!
"An organization at my back would be great, and having a friend as a king would be even better. Ahh, I like how that sounds, I need to check with a few people on board and my companion on the main land, though you can pretty much count me in!" Saren says enthusiastically.
Let's keep it between us for now. I've known Judeau for quite some time, but don't know of his intentions. The same for Othan.
Lelouch seems happy and proceeds to sit back down with his book.
After spending about an hour staring off the bow of the ship, Othan heads back to introduce himself to the newcomers, Welcome to the mission my friends, I am Othan, a sorcerer decended from the blood of dragons. I see you have already meet my overly confident friend Lelouch. Don't be to conserned over his attitude, he as arrogent with those he has known for years as well.
I know I am still on the deck, at least one other new member of the team is still on the deck.
it is a small ship. the captains name is Westly dunsteinthe crew is small, only 8 sailors and the captain.
Gromph seems keen to puff his pipe for a bit more before settling down to make sure his weapons each are razor sharp..
Saren leaves Lelouch, and comes out to hear Othan say, "e as arrogent with those he has known for years as well."
"Who is that way?" Saren asks. "By the way I am Saren Degrad and who are you?"
Saren goes over to the side and pulls out a small casket, then pours Gromph and himself a cup each. []b"Yes, this stuff does taste of piss, I miss good dwarf drink, even elven wine is better than this stuff, though the headaches. One good considering we had a good romp with the dwarves or just because of the wine."[/b] Saren laughs at his own joke about the races and their differences.
"I would have bought some dwarven stout though the swines hadn't even heard of the stuff, inbred backwater swines." Yes he is talking about humans, and yes he is human. :P
"Oh the tattoos, well I spent many a year with them and they blessed me with these 'magical' tattoos, of course nothing has happened with them yet. Yes, I would love a smoke, but lost my last pipe after a tavern brawl with a classless group of humans, half-orcs, and even a goblin."
I honestly have many ideas what the tattoos could be, but if you want I will leave it up to you, DM. Now it would be nice since I am the tank to get +1 sacred boost to my AC for every 3 levels. I would love to be able to get shield again, though I think it is a personal spell. Oh maybe I can cast a few personal spells through it once I unlock it somehow. Maybe protecting elves? Shield would be nice, also shield other to protect someone else and gain a deflection bonus, basically I am thinking of personal spells that no one could cast on me but are not that high of a spell. Here I go again throwing out lots of ideas. :P
the ride will last a little longer my hope was to get some good PC interaction. so maybe the other two could post a little?
Listening to Saren's story Gromph has a curious look on his face.. "Lived with pointy ears for a while eh? What drove you to that madness haha.. Thats a bummer about your pipe though, perhaps i could carve you up a replacement.."
Responding to Gromph, "The madness of love... it happens to the worst of us. Yeah that would be great and I can try to widdle one myself and you can give me some pointers. For I am sure you will make a pipe and I will make a mess." Saren smiles and enjoys the conversation. He kind of has a wistful look in his eyes as he remembers some of the good days. After his last few words he laughs at the comparison.
well I will check back in a few hours if judeau hasnt posted we will continue
the ship makes port in pezzack. the port is small with a few vendors and a road leading uptown.
Lelouch disembarks the boat and looks to Saren, flicking his head to the side, signalling him to follow.
Arriving at the port, Gromph hastily makes his way off the boat onto dry land.. "Good to be stable again, anyone know where we're supposed to be heading? Kinda feel like drinking some beers, wonder if this hole has a decent tavern.."
Lelouch sighs as the Dwarf speaks.
Uptown most likely. It appears that is the only direction to travel.
"Hrmmph.. Right.. Well lets get on with it..
Othan follows the other passangers off the boat, pausing to take in what little view there is then striding up the stree away from the boat using his longspear as a walking stick.
treggor?
cant post again until tomorrow night.
Saren grabbed all his gear including his massive greatsword as soon as we saw land. He was in contention with the Dwarf of being the first one off, though he let the dwarf have that honor.
Saren introduces everyone to everyone... even if they know each other. For during the trip he would have gotten to know everyone by name at least. "We all seem to be searching for demons, should we pool our strengths and work together?"
"I see no reason not to join forces and pool our resources"
Oh my I didn't even notice. Im going to have to ask that to change.
Gromph looks to his new friends.. "So are we supposed to meeting someone here for more information? Or do we know where this fiend resides?"
"I am pretty sure that he is in this town, likely in one of the large taverns. Let us head to the largest tavern in uptown. If I don't find him there I will scour the town, you may join me at that point if you want, or not. Onwards!"
Gathering information is so bothersome. Half of the people around here probably don't even know their own names. Regardless, if we find someone who genuinely knows something, we'll find our answer. I can be very persuasive.
Lelouch seems focused on his task, and lets out a slight smirk.
Saren smiles back at Lelouch, "That is good to know, actually it is good to know each other's strengths to help complement each other. I have my mighty greatsword let me sweep through my enemies. Lelouch what else can you do?" Next he would ask Gromph what he does well, then Saren will move on to the other members of their newly formed group. Going from one person to the next to make sure we know who generally has what abilities.
Good question Saren. What else can I do? Lelouch grins.
Treggor?
in that case the group of travelers finds a small tavern known as the Dancing devil. upon entering saren sees treggor sitting alone in the corner.
With a massive smile on his face Saren sees his long lost friend, "Treggor my good friend, it is great that you are alive..." he rushes up to his friend and gives him a big bear hug, lifting him out of the chair if he did not get himself out of it first.
Saren puts down Treggor and introduces him to the group, "Everyone this is Treggor my good friend, great with a bow and pretty darn hard to hit even with no armor."
On entering the tavern Gromph promptly orders a round of beer for everyone, two rounds for himself.. "By the beard im thirsty.. i took the liberty of ordering everyone a beer.. Well met Treggor, names Gromph Deepwalker.. You gonna be coming along in this little adventure?" He extends his hand and gives a hearty handshake, then takes out a pipe and packs some tobacco, awaiting his beer arrival.. "Hurry up with that Beer!"
Treggor rolls his eyes and finishes what's left of his beer after Saren makes him spill a good portion of it.
"Ho there, well met, and all that garbage." Treggor says, flagging down the bartender. "Wasn't sure I'd see you again. What are you doing across the water? And who's all this smelly lot?" he asks as he waves vaguely at the others.
the bartender brings over a round of ale for the weary travelers to converse over.
"Garbage, yeah garbage, well after you sent that message of splitting up your estate, I thought you could use some help over here, either way I wanted to see how you were and possibly adventure with you some more, buddy ole pal. These are a group of demon hunters, Gromph is a new addition to their or our crew. How ever you want to say it. You ready for some demon hunting or you got some issues we need to handle first?" Saren seems very energetic being around old and new friends.
Lelouch doesn't drink and Ale is one of the drinks he dislikes most, but he drinks it appreciative of the Dwarf's gesture, saying Thanks with a smile on his face, before turning away as the Half-Elf calls him smelly.
I'm the healthiest and cleanest person here. Why should I answer to this comment?
