2/7/2009 8:08:36 PM <Dracos>   Given combat seems to have broken, and it was alone, it seemed to be trying to make its way toward their ship.

2/7/2009 8:14:04 PM <Kythaine>   "And I doubt it's teeth are strong enough to pierce Glubtz' skull."
2/7/2009 8:14:36 PM <Kythaine>   "Go ahead and try and sleep it, Elladan."
2/7/2009 8:15:28 PM <Glubtz>   "They were strong enough to pierce through you pansy's flesh though, I think I like already!"
2/7/2009 8:18:20 PM *   Elladan focuses and throws a sleep spell at the Drake...
2/7/2009 8:21:22 PM <Dracos>   THe drake shuddered...and flapped slowly into the ground, skidding to a halt.
2/7/2009 8:24:20 PM <Glubtz>   "Why did we come inside this cave again?"
2/7/2009 8:24:47 PM <Elladan>   "Secret base.*
2/7/2009 8:25:38 PM <Glubtz>   "There IS no secret base in this cave.  Why are we even on this island anyway?  Charting or something?"
2/7/2009 8:26:10 PM <Marcus>   "That too."
2/7/2009 8:26:13 PM *   Kythaine nods. "It would be a good place to stash loot. Perhaps a whole new place for everyone to live once we free them from the Valuans."
2/7/2009 8:26:18 PM <Elladan>   "Aye. We're confiming it's location. We thought we might be able to use it as a base of operations.."
2/7/2009 8:29:48 PM <Glubtz>   "Hum.  We would have to see what the island can sustain then.  Won't be much off a secret base if we keep having to leave it for basic supplies."
2/7/2009 8:31:21 PM <Glubtz>   "And what do you louts know of construction?  I guess I can build houses and shops, but they'll come out looking like ship parts...  Which now that I think about it, would be awesome indeed."
2/7/2009 8:32:01 PM <Elladan>   "Actually.. Hmmm.. You might have something there.."
2/7/2009 8:32:42 PM <Elladan>   "If we can construct all of what we need to be self-sufficent to look like wrecked ships.. With the drake population.. Could make this island look like more trouble than it's worth to get near.."
2/7/2009 8:34:49 PM <Glubtz>   "I think the point of a secret base is for it not to be readily visible."
2/7/2009 8:36:48 PM <Glubtz>   "At the moment all this talk is pointless, we'll need a hefty working capital to even attempt such an endevour.  We need more missions."
2/7/2009 8:36:53 PM <Kythaine>   "it wouldn't be visible - as a base - if we do that."
2/7/2009 8:37:46 PM <Kythaine>   "But we do need more loot."
2/7/2009 8:37:52 PM <Glubtz>   "And we still need to find if this island could sustain us, we'll need to clear the wildlife from where we would be operating..."
2/7/2009 8:38:27 PM <Elladan>   "But, before all of that, how about we secure our sleeping friend?"
2/7/2009 8:38:34 PM <Glubtz>   "And someone tie the little fellow up before it wakes up and continues eating yall."
2/7/2009 8:39:00 PM <Glubtz>   "Not that that isn't entertaining, because it is, but I hate hearing your whining."
2/7/2009 8:39:48 PM <Marcus>   "Right now, I think the most important issues should be tying up our little captive beast so it doesn't trash around when Elladan's spell wears off, don't you guys think?" Marcus agrees with the little crazy guy. "Once he's tied up, we can consider how worthwhile this place is as a base, if not now, in the future at least."
2/7/2009 8:41:19 PM <Kythaine>   "Sure thing, Captain." Kythaine ties up the drake and checks how badly it's injured.
2/7/2009 8:46:08 PM *   Glubtz wanders over to the captive drake, turns to a new page in his journal, and begins writing. "Ahh research. Such a wonderful thing."
2/7/2009 8:46:45 PM <Dracos>   The drake seems fairly bloody, but under it, it seems mostly intact, no real broken bones or shattered limbs.
2/7/2009 8:49:17 PM *   Kythaine attempts to patch it up.
2/7/2009 8:49:37 PM *   Glubtz tears some patches off his clothes and begins using them to bind the wounds. "You have to live, live! Don't die on me you bastard! You promised to go to the fair with me!"
2/7/2009 8:49:42 PM *   Kythaine rolls 1d20+1 Heal
2/7/2009 8:49:42 PM <freya>   Kythaine rolls {1d20}[5] = 6
2/7/2009 8:50:45 PM <Kythaine>   "I think I'll just get out of Glubtz' way and let him try to patch the creature up."
2/7/2009 8:51:33 PM <Dracos>   OOC: Okaaay... Glubtz roll I guess...
2/7/2009 8:53:23 PM *   Glubtz rolls 1d20+1
2/7/2009 8:53:23 PM <freya>   Glubtz rolls {1d20}[8] = 9
2/7/2009 8:54:15 PM <Dracos>   The creature is bandaged poorly.... well, at least it wasn't going to bleed to death.  Or fly anywhere.  Or likely run away.  The spire drake began franctically flailing about.
2/7/2009 8:56:59 PM <Marcus>   "Don't worry, we're not plannign to eat you. Not unless we run low on food supply and you happen to be edible, anyhow..." Marcus consoles the panicked creature with a grin.
2/7/2009 8:57:10 PM *   Glubtz takes off his cloak and drops it on the drake to pick it up, carefully avoiding it's jaws. "Stop squirming. You'll damage your wings and not being able to fly would suck."
2/7/2009 8:57:44 PM *   Elladan kneels down and looks the Drake in the eye.
2/7/2009 8:58:15 PM <Elladan>   "He won't go away unless you quiet down, you know. You really want him hovering around you all the time?"
2/7/2009 8:58:32 PM <Glubtz>   "Don't worry," Glubtz croons.  "I'll let you bite them from time to time."
2/7/2009 8:58:55 PM <Dracos>   The creature looked even more frantic with several of them cornering it and being both tied and bandaged together.
2/7/2009 9:00:17 PM <Kythaine>   "Back off, don't crowd the thing like that."
2/7/2009 9:00:50 PM <Glubtz>   "Alright alright, nothing to see here.  Let's go back and get our reward."  Glubtz holds down the wings gently with the cloak to prevent further struggling.
2/7/2009 9:00:57 PM <Elladan>   "Blah, blah, blah. It's a drake. It's only freaking out because Glubtz is trying to mother hen it."
2/7/2009 9:01:45 PM <Dracos>   The creature doesn't seem to be calming as glubtz picks it up and hauls it off toward the boat.
2/7/2009 9:01:55 PM *   Elladan heads over to Kythaine and Marcus..
2/7/2009 9:02:02 PM <Elladan>   "So, keep looking around, or head back?"
2/7/2009 9:02:55 PM <Kythaine>   "I'd say head back, get paid.  Don't mention the only way onto the island."
2/7/2009 9:03:13 PM <Marcus>   "Let's head back for now. We've foudn our way here once, and I'd like to get somehealing done before we try to fight out the locals again," Marcus says for his part.
2/7/2009 9:03:17 PM <Elladan>   "Sounds like a plan."
2/7/2009 9:03:21 PM <Kythaine>   "We can come explore more later."
2/7/2009 9:03:27 PM *   Marcus nods.
2/7/2009 9:04:17 PM *   Kythaine heads back to the boat.
2/7/2009 9:05:49 PM <Dracos>   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/7/2009 9:06:23 PM <Dracos>   Sailing back a couple days, they managed to recover most their strength.  The drake they had cornered up in a side of the ship wasn't looking too well or too happy, not eating much either.
2/7/2009 9:06:52 PM <Elladan>   "Glubtz, it's food is comming out of your pay."
2/7/2009 9:06:57 PM *   Elladan nods.
2/7/2009 9:08:06 PM *   Kythaine finishes up the charts and directions the cartographer's guild wants.
2/7/2009 9:09:15 PM *   Glubtz continues coaxing the drake to eat, "Oh come on. I know they can't cook but it's nutricious! I think."
2/7/2009 9:09:41 PM *   Elladan rolls his eyes..
2/7/2009 9:10:06 PM <Elladan>   "Glubtz, you idiot. It's a predator. It needs to kill living things to eat. Go buy it a cow or something.
2/7/2009 9:10:07 PM <Elladan>   "
2/7/2009 9:10:26 PM *   Elladan blinks.
2/7/2009 9:11:04 PM <Elladan>   "Hey, actually.. That's not a bad idea.. If we can find some farmers who are having problems with pigs digging up their crops.. We could just let it loose for a small fee to deal with them.."
2/7/2009 9:11:09 PM <Glubtz>   "You know, you could be right!"
2/7/2009 9:11:22 PM <Glubtz>   "I'll buy it some rats or something when we dock."
2/7/2009 9:11:43 PM <Glubtz>   "Hell, I'll take it to the allies and let it eat for free!"
2/7/2009 9:12:03 PM <Dracos>   Kythaine finds his way swiftly there...  and indeed, he spots a familiar red mustached dwarf reading at the counter, not paying too much attention as he came in.
2/7/2009 9:13:43 PM <Kythaine>   "Good afternoon."
2/7/2009 9:13:43 PM *   Glubtz peers over the side of the boat, wondering if he could sneak the beast off without causing a fuss.
2/7/2009 9:18:15 PM <Glubtz>   "Buy a proper collar!"  Glubtz grabs the rope, drapes his cloak over the drake and wanders off into the slums.
2/7/2009 9:18:38 PM <Elladan>   "If he causes a comotion.. I don't know him."
2/7/2009 9:18:42 PM *   Elladan nods resolutely.
2/7/2009 9:18:56 PM <Kythaine>   "Know who?"
2/7/2009 9:19:08 PM <Elladan>   "No one of any consequence."
2/7/2009 9:20:02 PM <Dracos>   "Who are you two...  well, hullo there...you were the folks investigating that island, yes?"
2/7/2009 9:23:06 PM <Dracos>   The dwarf looked at them expectingly.
2/7/2009 9:23:31 PM <Elladan>   "Aye, sir. We have, infact, returned! My compainion here has the maps for you."
2/7/2009 9:25:24 PM <Dracos>   "Well, that is quite splendid.  What did you see?  Was the view on the island good?  Tell me about it," He asked, pulling open a notebook.
2/7/2009 9:25:50 PM *   Marcus stays silent and just lets Elladan and Kythaine do all the talking, given they did it last time too.
2/7/2009 9:26:49 PM <Elladan>   "Unfortunately, the island isn't all you were hoping for.. It's surrounded on all sides by sheer cliffs.. And has some rather nasty inhabitants. Among them, we saw more than a fair share of large drakes.. And a few things that could fly."
2/7/2009 9:27:21 PM <Dracos>   "Mmm, that's unfortunate...were you able to clear them out?"  He took that down.
2/7/2009 9:28:30 PM <Elladan>   "I'm not sure there's even a reliable place to get onto the island.. Every time we tried to get close, a large number of the drakes showed up.. There seems to be a large cave system they use for breeding, and almost all of them are near the cliff sides."
2/7/2009 9:31:21 PM <Dracos>   "Hmmm...well, that was very useful," He reached down below and offered a bag of a hundred gold.  "Thank you for so diligently checking it out.  We'll be sure to steer folks away from it so tourists don't get caught by those lizards."
2/7/2009 9:31:43 PM *   Elladan nods and pockets the gold..
2/7/2009 9:31:52 PM <Elladan>   "Anything else we can help out with?"
2/7/2009 9:32:58 PM <Dracos>   "Well....nothing for me...  but I was told that Jellanda was looking for someone to make a delivery run to Nazrad if you're headed that way."
2/7/2009 9:33:34 PM <Kythaine>   "Thank you.  We'll need to check that out, then."
2/7/2009 9:35:01 PM <Dracos>   "She's over in the bar, if you haven't met her."
2/7/2009 9:35:21 PM <Dracos>   He opened back up his book. "Thanks for the help though.  If you discover anything..do let me know."
2/7/2009 9:36:13 PM <Kythaine>   "What's the standard pay for discovering a new island?"
2/7/2009 9:37:18 PM <Dracos>   "There really isn't one.  Depends on the nature of the discovery.  it's a lot more than verifying though.  I paid five thousand for the record of that lizard island for instance.  Made it up promptly on the maps."
2/7/2009 9:38:41 PM <Kythaine>   "So there's a lot more money in finding than confirming."
2/7/2009 9:39:08 PM <Kythaine>   "Sorry, saying the obvious there."
2/7/2009 9:39:35 PM <Kythaine>   "We will definitely let you know if we find more islands."
2/7/2009 9:39:49 PM <Dracos>   "It's no problem... we want to encourage folks to discover the ends of the world.  The value is much higher to us map makers as well."
2/7/2009 9:44:57 PM <Kythaine>   "Thank you for your time, then."  Kythaine excuses himself and talks with the others outside.
2/7/2009 9:45:18 PM <Kythaine>   "I think we should check with Jellada about her job."
2/7/2009 9:47:49 PM *   Elladan nods.
2/7/2009 9:47:54 PM <Elladan>   "Indeed we should.."
2/7/2009 9:49:09 PM *   Kythaine heads over to Jellada's bar.
2/7/2009 9:49:27 PM <Dracos>   Heading over to the bar, they found it still nice and early, the barmaid working on keeping all the mugs clean.
2/7/2009 9:49:36 PM <Dracos>   She favored them with a warm smile as they walked in.
2/7/2009 9:52:02 PM *   Elladan sits down at the bar..
2/7/2009 9:52:40 PM <Elladan>   "Ahh, it's good to be home! My dear, a serving of your fine food, and finer ale to go with your good company!"
2/7/2009 9:55:04 PM <Dracos>   She laughed.  "A bit early for dinner...but I'll get it up.  Just a moment."
2/7/2009 9:55:27 PM <Kythaine>   "A serving, Elladan?  I believe we're all hungry and thirsty."
2/7/2009 9:56:15 PM <Elladan>   "Ah, but my dear, I've missed far too many of your dinners already.. But, aside from that.. We hear tell you need help with something. And what kind of a gentleman wouldn't offer his aid to the woman he's courting?"

250 xp for everyone (sorry, you didn't kill very much and doubling it for plot xp doesn't kill much either).

1 Home Base, hidden within the mists of the lower sky and covered by deadly rage drakes.  Well, you have as much of it as you can survive clearing out....which seems to be one room right now.  But it's YOUR room. :)
