Escher hacks at a rope. It will be easier to deal with them if there are fewer on the deck.
[ooc]That should sever a 6" thick rope. or 4" if it's particularly strong.{/ooc]

Escher holds ready to deal with them as they board. For ranged attacks he usually throws throwing blades, and they would be lost in the water.
Escher will summon his blade and ready his shield.
As long as they are on the boat, I can handle them. In the water is another issue.
Escher puts his back into pulling Karsh'e up.
Once they bring up the boy, Esher will lower the rope for Karsh'e and hoist him up.
Knowing that he would sink in the water, Escher gets a coil of rope ad secures it to the gunwale. "If you can get the rope to him, I'll hoist them up."
"So what is it with the smoking?" Escher asks to Beren. "I've never understood that." He doesn't seem to be judging, just actually curious.
I'm okay with moving forward.
"Never underestimate the advantages of good breeding." he says with a chuckle.
The ectoplasm around him ripples, forming a sword blade. He pulls out his shield and straps it on. Prepared to repel boarders, Captain.
Escher has the coin, but keeping busy would help pass the time. He'll also go to the Bosun, "I'd also like to work. I'm very skilled at mending things, if that's something that could help out."
Ships are fine.
Escher will contribute for two wands for the party and two potions that he'll keep.
He looks quizzical and then chuckles, "No, I meant Merrix, the Son of Aeren, not Merrix the Father of Aeren. He's not dead at all."
"I know of Aeren d'Cannith, but I was designed by Merrix d'Cannith."
Escher seems as surprised as anybody. "But I'll bet he has some interesting stories..."
"We find the house Cannith compound and look for the labs. That should be a good start."
"Agreed"
"I'm not very experienced with horses. I suspect they may not like going into the mournland. We may need to travel the old fashioned way."
"I will go on this. Then again, I can be fixed with a hammer and nails." he says, looking especially at the softer ones in the gorup.
Escher turns. With the warforged down they can each focus on a kobold. He selects one of the unharmed ones, turns and swings in one movement.
Escher seems intrigued by the multiple attacks of Lambda as he moves in to join Karsh'e at the warforged. He uses the bard's wide swing to conceal his own. "This blade is my own creation. But it doesn't like you either."
Escher steps forward alongside Lambda to intercept them. His arm extends into a blade as he moves.
"Good morning Lady d'Cannth. Or at least A morning."
As they move, it becomes clear that Escher is very fast, but slows down to keep the pace of the group. He approaches the new people, "Greetings. When we get a chance, I'd love to share our stories." To Lambda, he adds, "Few have such control over their form. Was this by volition, or did this evolve over time?" Lambda will also probably understand Escher more than he understands himself. He has no knowledge: psionics. One thing you would notice is that parts of his ectoplasmic shell seem to resemble the quori.
Escher brings up the rear, his ectoplasmic sheath manifesting as a large sword.
I'm ready
I think Karsh'e would be a little better, as Beren is usually going to shoot. But I'm good with either.
The sword would have been tempting to 1st level Escher, but 2nd level Escher no longer needs a sword.
Then we each get 750 less
With 250 each and assuming we get the final messenger, then the shares are each 1483. If you want to buy items out of your share, the cost would be the same as the sell price: +1 longsword 1150
Is any of the treasure magic? Can we identify it? Do we have a list of treasure?
Escher strikes at the surprised enemy.
Escher turns to confront the other warforged.
"Bad dog." he quips as he continues his attack.
He keeps pressing his attack to his mechanical cousin.
Escer will grab his sword and attack again.
Escher will move forward to engage the dogs. Sadly he doesn't notice the rubble and his swing goes wild.
"I'll go through first." offers Escher. "You get the key and open and I'll move in."
"There is a certain common ground." he says noncommittally. Internally, he realizes the dramatic opportunity of being seen as a potential turncoat or double agent. The audience must not know which side he stands with.
"Then you must have more information about what defenses are beyond the door. Telling us will increase the chances of success." says Escher.
Do you want us to contact the police? If somebody is forcing you to do this, we'll step in. Remember 800-799-7233 if you need it. I understand if you don't think it's safe to get away. You have my sympathy and condolences.
Escher stands aside.
Escher simply strides forward. "We are at an impasse. Give up the key or fight for it."
Is this a dead end or do we have other passages?
