white deer: "so there is some kind of cult, or this is some kind of mark needed for a spell."
I think garrick has nothing more to say. Though it has been so long i'll have to reread it all. I got the general feeling that his questions woyld not be answered in a solid manner and that this dinner will be a disaster.
white deer: "solifugid? Dead person?
white deer:
"there is also the matter of the spider that was on his ship. Was that there with his knowledge? If he was to endanger this town, maybe giving this thing to him is not the best course of action." ooc:

GM: FYI i made up corundum (it is an Elder Scrolls metal, i just inserted it into Mror as the TES metal is dwarven specifically) and i don't recall if darksteel is eberron or some other DnD setting.
gm: Just thoughts here, and not necessarily all of these are eberron canon But you know what Keith Baker said about canon redd-ish orange, ...............corundum, mined exclusively in the Mror Holds and valuable, though it also has ceremonial significance to Mror dwarves Gold-ish (darker), ..................electrum

white deer: "OK, so, boy called thief by man in black supposedly had something to do with the crane, no proof there. Then spider-creature burst out upon our investigations, then while i fought it you went back. and the ship caught fire somehow..."
white deer: "How? A spirit told you?"
white deer: "You... missed... that? You knew it was there and went back for it?"
white deer: "Which was what?"
white deer: "Yes, I recall the blonde boy, I was hoping he saw something rather than just trusting the man yelling about a thief. My two interests are what really happened with the crane, if ascertainable, and what happened to you all in the boat."
white deer: "Oh, I wasn't aware of why the crane toppled over."
white deer: "So the boatman thought the blonde boy a thief. How far apart were the boy and the boatman and the man in black and the crane? We need to know what made the crane fall, among other things."
white deer: "I see. Where was this knocking? In this port?"
white deer: Garrick sits on a chair and listens to the halfling's story intently.
white deer: "Well, tell us what you saw that we could not see. I know your eyes can see more than ours. Then we must ask of you that which we don't understand."
white deer: "That may be true among the Talenta. But here, how you sound is as important as what you say. If they don't like what you have to say, they are sure to draw suspicion your way as you arrived at the same time that this incident occurred. So your words, coming from Satinder or I rather than you, would make the tale more believable, truth though it is. You'll find in these lands, at times, the truth is whatever the person with the most coin says it is. Furthermore, you have a colorful manner of speech that may confound them. If we know what it is you are trying to say, in advance, then we can smooth over the 'knots' of your idioms."
white deer: "Yes, and as Satinder and I have said we have little to offer in the way of details, perhaps if you could tell your story of events that could fill us in."
white deer: Garrick walks into the room and addresses the other two.
"So, let us pool our knowledge here and have a singular statement of events, so as to assuage doubt as far as what happened. I know what went on in the docks, but I am unsure what happened inside the ship..."
white deer: Garrick likewise takes his food in the room, eating lightly from it, just enough to sate his hunger. He quickly bathes, almost as a matter of necessity rather than desire, before quickly putting his clothes and armor back on.
white deer: "Well I, for one, am starving. However, I have a dinner engagement later as well, so I just need enough to tide me over."
i dunno who the hell Garridan Viskalai is so i didnt say anything. i figured he was from someone else's backstory or something.
Can i get a recap of the questions i owe? Gonna try to funnel a little more effort into those. Dont raise your hopes though, lots of things going on IRL
docks: Garrick nods in agreement.
docks: "And I'd like to get our details organized before the meal tonight. Shadows, they'd want us to bring you as well. But, I don't want to walk in all disorganized. Facts, together, now."
His comments start to sound more and more like someone expecting their orders followed, though one might think this tone wasn't on purpose.
docks: Looking to Satinder, Garrick said, "Well, we'd better get out of here soon if we aren't going to discuss it here."
docks: "Don't take too long, we need answers very soon and need to close this case."
docks: "Sounds good. Well, what have we made of this investigation so far, barring that piece? Monster present on board, reasons unknown. Fight breaks out, monster causes the boat to catch fire, we kill it. I still would like to know how the crane got broken letting the monster out in the first place."
docks: Walking briskly up to the other two , Garrick asks, "Did you two find anything important in the ship before it went up in flames? And Also why did it go up in flames?"
they leave tuesday, but i will try to get short answers up by then
Sorry, planned on answering these questions but visiting relatives have really sucked the life out of me and the free time away from me.
docks ooc: Garrick tries to climb out, either by way of available ropes or any nearby ladders back up to docks.
i sorta skipped those two on purpose, i didn't feel inspired enough on those topics to answer them. no fault of your own, i tend to avoid writing about certain emotions, those two being among them.
docks: "Either the splintered wood in the water or the runoff from the blood of the townsfolk... I'd say the choice was well-made."
docks: "The first one was an event we were investigating. The second was on purpose to defeat the creature. Several men were sheared in pieces to even get it to that point."
docks: "It belongs to Lord Kaijitsu, though I am currently under the assumption that the creature was not part of his planned shipment. Investigation is ongoing.
docks: "Well, Sheriff, the boat over there had this creature in it," Garrick says, pointing to the rhagodessa, "And it escaped. We managed to grievously wound it and push it into the water to put it at a disadvantage. Its body is still captive and I am not sure it is dead. Some crossbow bolts or spears sticking out of it would be mighty reassuring." he hints, looking to some of the watchmen just running up.
"Satinder went to check on the boat once more, following a halfling friend of mine. Which reminds me, some watchmen should go check on the boat as well to see what is taking Satinder so long. Men were ordered to quarantine the area to minimize civilian casualties."
docks: "Well, you get up here and we will wait around to see if it is dead. Nothing a long pike can't solve. Or a handful of crossbows."
docks: "Good work. . . dead?"
docks: Garrick grabs the rope, lowering the loop end down to the man in the water. "get the loop around your body!" He shouts down, and throws the non-loop end to the standing watchmen and prepares to pull once the loop is around the man.
docks: "Get me another rope, NOW! Tie a loop in it!" Garrick yells to the dry watchmen. He looks over the edge to judge how far down the man's hand is. He will grab any other loose rope he can and lower it, if such is available.
docks: Garrick moves over towards where they are pointing, trying to position himself such that he can't be reached by the beast to pull him in, but will be ready with blade in hand to strike the beast when it lands.
docks: "Look, if one or both of you is some kind of expert swimmer, by all means go get him. I am not. And I wouldn't tell you to do something I wouldn't do myself."
