"Oh, is that all? Hah, well, we ought to get moving."

same boat, i'm not joining any new games, just letting games that are on their last leg fall until i have more free time.
i think we had just been given vast sums of money and magical items.
message response: "Order to-go food to the ship if you want and let's get outta here."
Ebran looks to Xov. "On the way, we will need any recent intel we can pick up. Old defenses, new defenses, recent sightings in the area."
Ebran looks for any identifying marks on the warforged before whispering to Xov that they are perhaps being spied upon.
Ebran, too, keeps an eye out for trouble.
still here. I've been sinking a lot of time into ArcheAge so no problem with the slow pace. Although, this has been one of my more interesting games so i am interested in seeing things continue.
yeah the brief blurb for the classes didn't excite me
Dunno what that means, but it at least sounds cool in my mind. Although i would be interested, i haven't the time to apply to any further games.
Ebran grabs Xov's attention and surreptitiously points her out to him.
finally got ebran leveled up. not many changes.
took Returning Throw as a bonus 5th level feat from my class, and took the feat to increase the size of my dragonmark with my regular 5th level feat
Ebran, too, keeps his eyes out for their target. Her being a Cannith, he looks perhaps for folks wearing garments that seem odd in order to cover up an inopportune dragonmark.
Autosucceed on aid, +12
how long ago did we gain a level? i just noticed i am behind by one. hopefully i can get to that this weekend
"The temple, i think."
In the quiet alcove, Ebran asks of Xov, "Someone wants to meet?"
Ebran ensured docking procedures were done correctly and any requisite paperwork was attended to, then followed the dark one on his way to their meeting.
Unaware of any pressing time-sensitive element to their plan, Ebran proceeds at a swift but primarily safe pace. "Othan, how shall we do the guard rotation? Likely best that one of our group be awake at all times in addition to the regular watchbill of the sailors." When it comes time for him to rest, he proceeds to a high altitude and retires to his chambers.
"Very well. Let's get a move on, then."
i was wondering what Xov had to say, actually.
"I look to him for most of the decision-making. I'm along for the ride." Ebran says, indicating Xov.
"While he is away, perhaps we should follow up on another of our three tasks? Perhaps one is so delicate that his touch missed might be... fortunate?"
"Excellent."
"Loathe as i am to separate the party, perhaps a craftsman could be paid to handle the forgery, some sort of plaster purchased to create a cast of the object for fabrication elsewhere. I could go try to pick up some plaster. I've no skill at such handiwork."
"Well, of the two plans, one suggested by resident kook Absylon and one suggested by untested hanger-on Kirin... Ebran looks to each as he jibes them, his expression revealing that he is attempting to diffuse the tension with humor, "... I choose the plan that costs me the least gold and has the lesser chance of my incarceration or indebtedness to the dark and seedy forces that 'disappear people' at the whim of various power blocs." "Let's just find this damn pyramid. We've two more tasks ahead besides this one. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, as they say."
"Well, I'm not exactly rolling in funds at the moment. I'd rather get paid to do something than pay someone else to do it for me. If it ain't worth the money I'd make for doing it myself, then it probably ain't worth the money I'd have to shell out to have it done."
"Ah, didn't know Tharashk got down like that. I'd have figured that more of the demesne of Phiarlan."
"I don't. Spy 1 or Spy 2 might." he says, looking at Absylon and Xov.
Ebran leads them in a roundabout way through some side alleys (to check if they're being followed) to the airship (assuming they haven't been followed).
On the way out of the place, when they are no longer in the establishment, Ebran adds, "I like that. Best to have a plan, rather than do anything... silly in a moment of weakness after negotiations fall through."
Ebran says nothing to betray the veracity of the crazed one's threats. He enjoys the feel of the luxurious chair, as his stint of luxury was ruined by an assassination and attempted inter-planar theft.
"not really. Just waiting on my associate while he conducts whatever business he is up to."
"does that sort of thing happen often?"
Ebran will mull about in the foyer as well, content to allow Xov to gather info without distractions while providing a more secure escape route if anything goes awry.
Ebran walks with the party and looks around, taking note of people and what they are wearing, the stonework, woodwork of the desks, really anything. He makes it a point not to intimidate anyone, and retains a very bland face that would suggest he is simply tagging along and this was a stop on the way to a later appointment for this group.
"Oh, fine. I just didn't imagine this to be that easy, and I hadn't planned on doing any of the talking." With that, Ebran pulls the gauzy sleeves back up, renewing his magical clothing to be that of a Lyrandar noble.
Seeing the others changing their appearances, Ebran remembers that he is still wearing noble clothing. Reaching up to his shoulders, he pulls at his clothing and the glammer fades, leaving behind simple adventurer's clothing.
yeah, Ebran's immediate goals have been taken care of, he has a ship. as i add levels to him, he will get some cool ship-related powers from Windwright Captain prestige class levels. as a player i think it is the turn for us to focus on another PC's goals, since Ebran got his. Ebran is content to fade to the background, something all too easy with his stealth score.
Ebran has his ship so he is happy for the time. He's happy to let Xov handle the intrigue and questioning, chiming in when he has an idea or gathering info by spying covertly.
"Any leads on where to meet him? Or are we going to stumble into a Sivis station and ask?"
Ebran looks at Xov, expecting his answer to their future direction.
that's good. we can see to their other training a bit later. what, if any, weapons are on the ship? ballistae?
what does the crew contingent on this ship look like, if any? are we responsible for handling our own mooring and whatnot? posting our own ship security?
