understandable, only 2 years since my wedding and honeymoon, eats up a lot of time.
I have had an idea in my head for a loong time that has never really worked its way into a game, seems like an excellent time.

Without even glancing at "her" cards, Talic says "Sir, we do not know each other well enough for you to inquire into my bed time" he then checks with 1oog.
Talic briefly glances at his cards, then begins to study the other players. He smiles inwardly as Deston folds, best to not be betting against each other. To the table he says "If any of you boys wish to keep your egos and your gold, now would be a good time to fold. besides you wouldn't want everyone to know you've been bested by a young lady."
Trying desperately to hide a his excitement, Talic moves towards and open seat. Placing 300g on the table, Talic will make a quick scan of his opponents. "How thoughtful to invite me to join your little game."
"This is just wondeful, A VIP game you say, that sounds delightful" Talic will tip the staff at the table 30g (out of the 50 he stole) and follow the gamin manager upstairs.
With a genuine smile, Talic collects his winnings. "I can't believe I won. I really shouldn't bet anymore, but this is just so much fun."
As Talic tosses the dice, he asks "What is that lift over there? I've never seen one like it and would love a tour"
[i] The sooner we get this doen, the sooner i'm out of this stupid dress [i] With a sigh, Talic turns to Celeste "Why don't you show me around place, perhaps I can even try my hand at one of these interesting games." Finding a suitable table, Talic will pretend to have no idea how gambling works. [b]"Oh dear, I'm not sure what I should do, but it looks like such fun.
Would sleight of hand help him in manipulating the dice? if so...
wager 100g
"i'de liek to get a look at the locks on the vault, and check the area out to see if it's trapped or alarmed. Someone who can detect magical auras migth be handy to have along " I will lie, cheat , and steal all nigth long, but if she thuinks i'm flirting with any of these men, she's crazzy!
At the prospect of gold and Gambling, Talic's face brightens. "perhaps we can make a litle exra for ourselves as well tonight"
Talic is more quiet than usual, but he has kept a dagger and his lock picks under his clothes.
As visions of knives stabbing wildly fill his mind, the soft lifts brush his, and he looses all resolve. Looking at Celeste he says, "I will do this on one condition, when's its done you meet me back here for a shared bath."
"What have we here?' talic will pockjet the seal for more careful inspection later. "let's move these quick then!"
Talic glances about once the fight is done, then quickly searches each body. At the mention of an ally, Talic says "The sea would be ideal, as the bodies would never be found, but an Ally would buy us some time. "
I'm eatsern us as well.
Talic will move to flank the guard attacking Samisel
In that case Talic aims for the guy with the crossbow...
Talic will take cover behind the nearest cart and ready his sling to hurl a stone at the first guard that attacks the group. "Remind me to teach you guys how to be subtle", says Talic, though he throws a wink at the party to show he merely jests.
I'd prefer to stay in the shadows behind the group, see if we're being followed or walking into something unpleasant. If there's any sign of trouble, I'll signal"
Seeing nothing unusual and getting bored, Talic makes his way back to their room. As the others question the kid, Talic wonders if he could perhaps disguise himself as the child.
"If he was supposed to coinfirm our identity and then return, I expect he is overdue. I think i'll leave the questioning to you and check out downstairs to see if anyone has come lookign for him." Checking his daggers to make sure they are close at hand, Talic heads down to the common room, picking a corner table that offers a good view of the door.
"Are there any other items of importance or value in the vault that we should lookout for while we are there? It would be a shame to waste the opportunity. He smiles his devilish grin as his imagination is already running wild with thoughts of hidden treasure.
"Getting in and out will be the hardest parts. With time, I'm sure i can handle any locks and surprises they have rigged. Any chance of a map of the tunnels or the inside of the casino?"
Talic begins to fidget nervously, trying not to recall any of the multitude of unlawful things he's done in the past. "Is this really necessary?"
"Excellent spell, Qarxan. Can't say i've ever traveled with a Mage before, but know I see what i've been missing. I bet there are a lot of things we could accomplish together." Then with quick smile, Talic hurries opver to Samisel. "I've never seen an amazing creature. Can they run fast?"
Talic sees Deston's leap and races forward to assist him. As he jumps, he yells to the would be thief, "I'd surrender now, If you want to live!"
"If you gents are lookign for a mount, I'd sugegst the brothel next time!" Talic then hurls a bullet at the closest would be theif
As the group heads towards the ship Talic says"I agree, some of us should not be in attendance, but perhaps lurking nearby to see if anyone is watching the hall. It would be even better if we could....perhaps.....sneak in without being seen." Talic stares off into space for a moment then says. "Maybe I should wander by the hall ocne we are done at the ship and get the lay of the land"
Talic stands to stretch and winces. Grabbing his left side he says "Damn mob, myside is killing me"
"We'll it seems somehting big is going on around here and I'm being dragged in quickly. I suspect that breaking into a secured vault guarded by Orca and Penderghast goons Aand breaking out a famous pirate captain has its rewards but It's definetly not a one man job. So are we all in this together or do some of us part ways here?" Looking at each of the companions, I know we promised to all stick together while in town for a short time, but this could a long term job so I'm not holding anyone to that previous arrangement."
"Orren, since you seem to have some knowlegde of mis carmilla perhaps you could enlighten us on this" Talic hands orren the message.
Hmm, chosed by a woman, first day in town, not a bad start. Not sure i like this soul searching though. Talic looks the old man over one more time, trying to get a good read on him.
"Orren, Carmella, or whoever that was in the cage, seemed to know where I was, as if she expected to see me on top of the crane getting a grand view of the events today. How did she know?" Talic is still unnerved by the way she looked at him.
Talic gauges the distance between himself and the nearest exit, weighing his chances. "figures the one time I get a nice trinket without stealing it and I'm still gonna get shot at" Not wanting to draw any more attention and not yet ready to make his escape, Talic addresses the stranger "If your thinking I stole this ring, your wrong. Why don't you grab a round of drink and join us before the entire tavern takes notice."
Carefully tucking the ring away, making sure its secure, Talic looks again at the message. "I think it's time we pay a visit to the Calypsia." after a slight pause "If we're lucky we might just find out whats going on, or where they took that girl" Although you have only been companions for a short time, it's no surprise that Talic
Talic holds the ring out to Qarxan "Qarxan, what do you make of this ring, it is unusually warm. Is it enchanted?" The halfling's eyes sparkle at the thought of an enchanted ring.
Talic quietly tells the companions about the moon faced girl"It was like she new I would be there! And those eyes! I'm not sure why, but I think she wanted me to find this ring and message."
Talic will give a half smile to Samisel and say "Sorry Pa. I'm Hungry can we go some where quiet and get somethign to eat? Once they are gathered he will nod at Deston's mention of the tavern. "We need to talk where there are less ears." Talic will keep one hand close to the pocket, protecting the shiny object. For the first time he recalls the girl with the moon shaped face. How did she know I was there and who is she? He is unusually thoughtful until the reach somewhere relatively safe to talk.
"Ouch, that will leave a mark. Aha, got it!" Noticing the guards approach Talic tries to look as innocent as possible.
As the warm updraft from Qaraxan's spell slows Talic's fall, A smile spreads across the halfling's face. I've always wanted to fly thought Talic. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Talic began the deadly game of Dodge. Through the crowd, he could cath glimpses of the object being kicked and rolled about in the sea of running boots. Hoping, rolling, diving, and ducking he deserately tries grasp that mysterious object which seems to call to him stronger the closer he gets. [ooc] acrobatics
Once more startled by the sudden message, Talic composes himself. "I need to get to that cage fast, a girl and a shiny object" Talic then begins a climb down till he's close enough to drop down. Once he lands, he will dash through the crowd searching for the object. I wonder who that girl is?
Talic nods at emmentian's statement, as the idea of sneaking in for a peak at ehat's in the cage enters his mind. He absently fingers a sling bullet, as he counts the number of guards. " I wonder who or what ORCA is?" talic says as much to his companion as to himself.
Peering out over Gold-Bottom Bay, Talic can taste the excitement and opportunity here. Though he enjoyed the feel of the sea breeze on his face, Talic is ready for a bit more freedom than the ship had to offer. Having his attention drawn to the cage and it's mysterious inhabitant, Talic's curiosity begins to grow, and upon seeing the crane, curiosity wins the day. I think I know how to find a better view With a wink and a smile at his companions, Talic will disembark as soon as possible, slipping quickly and easily among the dock traffic heading towards the crane. Giving a quick study of the crane, looking for the best climbing route, Talic will begin to ascend.

I just had a vision of him surfing on his Flying carpet across the desert listening to "magic carpet Ride" by Stephen Wolf. Well, you don't know what

1:Not picky, though my last pbp introductions broke out in song, hoping not to repeat that fiasco. 2:Balance. roll play and role paly, I like to get use out of my skills, as well as feats and weapons. 3:Talic lives day to day, rarely thinking long term. When he does, he dreams of someday owning his own Ship, be it a Sandship, captain of a pirate ship, or some air contraption from the gnomes. Anything that elts him explore a world that seems to small, even for one of his size. On a more personal level He often wonderds what happened to his aprents.
Talic here, ready to pilfer, I mean adventure ;) edit: will work on that wishlist for you.
