Battler Tweedee just arrived, leading his group.

A gaunt watchsoul flickers into view, lading the air with a sacred warmth.

You blink.

[Oshu'k'et, Forecastle Deck]

Curving upward, the railing is thicker and reinforced here, the bow built out to provide a longer platform spaced further from the fore mast. Steam bent boards encase a braced firing cage, wrapping securely around a wide platform bearing a complicated looking weapon. A golden ghostly streamer is wrapped around the platform, currently preventing entry to all.

You also see a gaunt watchsoul and a faded red homespun cloth with several things on it.

Also here: Protector of Gnomes Razilak who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Battler Tweedee, Feral Senthic, Black Fox Faunamae and Commodore Khoheke.

Tweedee gasps!

You jump back from Tweedee!

Senthic widens his single eye like a lunatic.

You are already guarding Khoheke. To guard someone else, first type GUARD STOP.

Razilak gestures at Khoheke.

Tweedee exclaims, "Hi there!"

Faunamae exclaims, "It's Tweedee!"

Razilak says, "WHAT."

Razilak says, "IS GOING ON."

Razilak says, "GET US OUT OF HERE GNOME."

Tweedee exclaims, "Yes!"

Tweedee asks, "You want some ham?"

You say, "Yeah get out."

Razilak says, "Yes."

Tweedee gets a savory hickory-smoked ham from inside a pulsating eddy of light restrained inside the maw of a mechanical glaes skull.

You say, "After you give us ham."

Faunamae nods to Tweedee.

Senthic exclaims, "Be gone!"

You stretch out a hand imploringly to Tweedee.

Razilak exclaims, "Don't give them ham!"

You say, "We're hungry."

Faunamae says, "Theren's best."

Faunamae nods to Tweedee.

Razilak exclaims, "They're the people we're paid to kill!"

Senthic says, "Yes ham please."

Tweedee moves a massive greatsword with an orc skull pommel to his left hand.

Tweedee moves a savory hickory-smoked ham to his right hand.

You say, "Oh sweet sustenance."

Tweedee offers Senthic a savory hickory-smoked ham.

Razilak says, "GNOME."

Faunamae says, "Not dat Zuluren junk."

Senthic accepts Tweedee's hickory-smoked ham.

Senthic sweeps a jaunty tricorn hat displaying a skull and crossbones off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Tweedee at the same time.

Battler Tweedee stomps west, leading his group.

You snicker.

Faunamae smirks.

Senthic says, "We should do Bassaults more often."

A gaunt watchsoul flickers away, and the warmth of its presence ebbs.

Senthic nods emphatically.

You say, "Heroes again."

You hold out a hand towards Senthic for a highfive.

You and Senthic highfive each other and then simultaneously snap your fingers. Sassy!

Senthic says, "We're amazing."

Senthic strikes a heroic pose.

You say to Khoheke, "We scared them off, and...we haven't seen Kauga doing anything funny in the brig..."

You strike a heroic pose.

Senthic gives you an emphatic nod.

You say, "Maybe we should give him some ham."

There are forty-one bites left of the hickory-smoked ham.

Senthic says to Khoheke, "You're quite welcome, Commodore. All in a day's work."

Khoheke says, "So far, most of the fighting has been concentrated on the Isle. I am grateful."

Legendary Paladin Delph just arrived.

Faunamae swears, "I will learn from the wisdom of the wilds that no book may ever hold."

Senthic nods to Khoheke.

You nod at Khoheke, in complete agreement with his views.

Khoheke says, "Soon it will be time to fire the weapon."

You exclaim, "Oh!"

Faunamae rubs her hands together.

Faunamae says, "Ohh we kin help wif dat."

Senthic says to Khoheke, "It is thanks to our misdirection that it has stayed on the isle."

Delph ponders.

You try not to grin at Senthic.

Senthic shrugs.

You say, "Be right back."

Uroi winks.

You swagger west.

[Oshu'k'et, Foredeck]

Netted rigging runs from above to the reinforced gunwale, and numerous tools and supplies have been stored at the ready. High above, a circular crow's nest platform perches high above the spruce main mast. A pair of capstans are wound with thick rope, open slots for the axle bars showing signs of wear.

You also see a fleet of outrigger gale proas and some spruce ornithopters with lettering marked "Aloof Gannet".

Also here: Legendary Paladin Delph.

Obvious paths: east, west, up, down.

You swagger west.

[Oshu'k'et, Deck]

Immaculately scrubbed, the deck's reinforced wood bears a variety of timbers, indicative of carpentry performed where sturdy wood was available as necessary. A smoothly polished spruce rear mast has been studded with thick iron bolts to facilitate a rapid ascent to the crow's nest. Complex rigging winds between pulleys, securing the square-rigged mast, and long coils of tight rope have been carefully wound around deck-mounted cleats. The quarterdeck arches gracefully over a door to the captain's quarters, and a dark entrance leads deeper into the hold.

You also see a thick blood-red wool blanket embroidered with twining vines and some mangonels lining the deck.

Also here: Templar Maxilot, Veteran Karturis, Transcendent Ranger Kamisama, Ruffian Kytref, Sar and Grieven who is enwreathed in vaporous shadows.

Obvious paths: east, up, down.

Maxilot tugs the firing cord of a mangonel, wincing as he quickly steps back. The firing arm abruptly launches upward, sending the contents of the basket into the air and in the direction of Basalt Isle!

You swagger down.

[Oshu'k'et, Hold]

A line of shuttered ports on the port and starboard walls provide access to fire outward, and first aid stations stocked with bandages and blood staunching herbs and salves line the middle of the hold. Gaethzen orbs and deck-mounted prisms provide sparse lighting, though marines run back and forth with clear familiarity with their surroundings, affecting a grim efficiency as they tend to the various needs of the ship. A line of neatly folded and stored hammocks on the aft wall alongside a row of lockers marks the sparse crew quarters. The fore section has been caged off by a wall of iron bars serving as the ship's brig.

You also see a cloth-covered wooden podium with several things on it.

Obvious exits: up.

You drop a savory hickory-smoked ham.

You swagger up.

Obvious paths: west.

You say, "The ham has been delivered."

Senthic beams at Uroi!

Faunamae asks Senthic, "Wait is da ham...tainted?"

You see Airship Captain Uroi Odalva, Whiskey and Cigar Connosseur of Reshalia, a Halfling.

A diffuse, honey-colored light undulates lazily across his skin, swirling and eddying with every movement.

Uroi has a softly angular face with chiseled jawline and deep smile lines around his eyelids, some riveted steel sun goggles with darkly shaded lenses mostly obscuring his tilted almond-shaped ale-brown eyes and a broken nose. His frost-white hair is short and wavy. He has leathery skin and a plump build.

He is tall for a Halfling.

He appears to be in his prime.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a burning fine cigar in his right hand.

He is wearing a midnight blue woolen cloak trimmed with gold braiding, a finely tailored ivory silk shirt with billowing sleeves, a woven black mesh bandolier brushed along the edges with silver, a wide black leather belt with a large silver buckle, some black silk dress pants and some polished brown dress shoes.

Faunamae gazes at a savory hickory-smoked ham.

Faunamae frets.

You say, "And I took a bite, it wasn't poison."

Senthic asks Faunamae, "Oh. Maybe?"

Senthic praises you.

Uroi puffs at his cigar idly, filling the air with smoke rings.
