Wes spots the lead ape and heads for it, sword drawn.

Wes runs back to find Arwen after shouting out of the cave.
Wes gives up starting the fire and begins to stare at the statue. "Somethings fishy here mate, I don't like what it's doing to the mist. " he says to Arwen. The he calls out-which is probably a bad idea in retrospect-"Oi! Everyone should be getting to the cave very quickly! Something strange is afoot! " -Posted with Wayfinder
"Excellent, now to start a fire!" After a moments pause he says, "I don't suppose you know how to start one do you?"
Wes grabs Arwen by the arm, "Come on mate! I've gotta have some to keep company! Otherwise me bloody heads gonna explode!"
As Wes was walking along he suddenly couldn't take the awkward silence anymore. "Come on lads! All this rain and mist has me in the mood for a song! Does anyone know a good shanty?" Quietly he starts singing to himself his favorite sea shanty 'Down to Trinidad to see Sally Brown boys...'
Wes clamps his hands over his ears, but finds it of little use. He grits his teeth as he falls to his knees.

Wes looks a Desidera and shrugs, Well there are no talking gorillas for one, but the sand is so sharp that it can poke right through your boot! Hence the name "Sandpoint."
Wes manages to keep a straight face the whole time.
When Kest mentions his horse, Wes smacks his forehead. "Of course! I can't believe I forgot about Buttercup!"
"Lads-if I may- I would like two throw in me two coins. My heart lies with the sea, but a ship is a hard thing to come by, and a crew is even harder to come by. Unless there is one close at hand, a horse would be the fastest option." Quietly he thinks to himself, Not to mention that I don't know if a Kraken is lying in wait for me to set sail.
"Sandpoint? I have family in Sandpoint! I say we set sail quickly! " then he waits for a second and calms down. "Okay a plan be might be handy. " -Posted with Wayfinder
Wes claps his hands together, "Alas! Finally an idea that I agree with! Just a motley crew of adventurers, and a band of talking apes! Wadya say Des, sound like the start of an adventure to you?
"Well now, I know nothing about good or evil- I find it all a bit fuzzy in the end- but gold is something I understand very clearly. I have to say, our furry mates do seem to have the high ground on this one lads." He pats Ntanga on the shoulder and turns around to the rest of the party and stands beside Ntanga. When he is pretty sure that none of the gorillas are looking, he winks at Desidera and mouths to Aodheil 'Say the word' as he rests his hand on the hilt of his sword as casually as he can.
Wes waves his hand dismissively, "Yes, yes, fairness and righteousness and all that is fine, but the truth of the matter is that our unarmed librarian is outnumbered seven-to-one and they didn't waste their time in giving him a beating." As he is speaking, he strolls lazily towards the center of the room were Aodhiel and Jaden are. The he turns he attention to Ntanga, "Still, I see enough in my time as a... deck hand... to know that gold draws more blood than any steel. Woodes moves closer, trying to place himself a close to in between Ntanga and the nearest henchmen. [b]"Tell me mate, how much did your 'godking' pay for this tome?" Wes has his sword in his belt and his arms crossed over his his chest. He is doing his best to stay calm..
Wes starts fidgeting with a dagger that the he pulled from his belt. The way he keeps messing with it is more of a nervous tick rather than a threat. "I'm sure you know this, but watch yourself lass." He says to Aodhiel quietly. Then he looks at the Ntanga, "You seem a reasonable enough...gorilla and I'm sure you won't, but, for the sake of understanding, if you harm my new found friend, then I'll make one of yours into a fur coat." The way he said it wasn't aggressive, or threatening, but more like stating a fact with a smile on his face.
"Well if it's yours," Wes says, taking his hand off of his weapon and relaxing a little bit, "then I suppose you wouldn't mind telling us what it is, would you lad? " -Posted with Wayfinder
Just realized I was skipped in the initiative rolls, so I went ahead and rolled it, . Unless you would rather roll for it.
"Yes, yes I'm sure you're right lad." Wes sounds distracted as he stares off into space. Then, snapping back into reality, he looks at Desi and says with a halfhearted smile, "Superstition I'm sure lass, but I can't help but shake the feeling that you were right not to leave that sword at the inn."
"It's a pleasure my dear," he says to Desidera with a charming smile "and yes, I have come to see the 'Great Librarian.' I always enjoy talking to librarians, and I've never gotten the chance to talk to a great one." He's lying of course, he didn't feel like 'I'm a shipwrecked pirate looking for a chance to redeem his name" was a great way to start the conversation. He then notices their weapons, "You're all well armed for a trip to the museum, travelers perhaps?" -Posted with Wayfinder
The dashing pirate sits patiently waiting for someone in the room to strike up a conversation with him, but then he quickly remembered that patience wasn't exactly his best virtue so he decided to speak up. "Evening lads...and lasses" he tips his hat to the women in the room as he says that last part. "Wes Roberts is what I'm called."
If it's of any consequence, I added a horse and and good bit of EQ to my character. I misunderstood how much gold we had and it turns out I had 300 more gp than I thought. Also, for the moment, Wes doesn't know anyone in the room. |
