<Kotono> ----
<Kotono> Ah, rest. That unremarkable and needed thing in a healthy cat's life. Being up for 8 or more hours just isn't healthy, so Pepo takes a catnap on the deck. But his fine senses disturb him - namely, the sensation of a loud thump on the deck.
<Pepo> His ear twitches and he reluctantly gets up. Perhaps they're being boarded? To find out he has to go up to the deck first, though.
<Kotono> Pepo heads on up. He has a goooood stretch and yawn, then heads on up. On top of the deck is Kamhoff, watching as a few burly men slowly carry a massive oaken treasure chest on. "Now make that double time and snappy! He says, "No fucking drops or dents, you hear?"
<Pepo> Alas, nothing so exciting. Well, he goes to find Jetina since he's awake, hoping he can at least be petted some.
<Kotono> You find Jetina. She's in her room, door ajar. She's in normal clothes today, no armor - just a plain dress. She's kneeling before her bunk, head bowed in prayer. You can hear her chant, "To he who offers unity without unity. To he who offers his cause without it being our cause. To he who offers violence without violence, for siblings must never fight."
<Pepo> Walking through the helpfully ajar door, Pepo goes up and rubs his head against Jetina's side.
<Kotono> Jetina looks up, "Hi Pepo, "She kneels there and pets him a bit, "I'm just about to go out. Want to come with me?"
<Pepo> 'Very well,' he agrees. The boat has started to get a bit cramped... especially with that lizard around.
<Kotono> "Good," Jetina says, "This place is filled with pets, isn't it? There's Macaron, that other cat of Kamhoff's and now that lizard of Veren's." She gets her sword but not her armor, heading on out. "The lizard's fascinating, don't you think? It just stares at you."
<Pepo> 'It would kill us all if it could,' Pepo says with firm certainty. 'Please ensure you are never alone with it.'
<Kotono> "Really? Where'd you get that idea?" As you head up to the deck and out, Jetina frowns. "Why all the lizard hate. It's not like it's a dragon."
<Pepo> 'Dragons can be reasoned with. They think and feel like we do,' Pepo points out. 'That thing does not.'
<Kotono> "How do you know that, anyway?" Jetina stops once you're on the docks, "Some sort of cat instincts?"
<Pepo> 'Perhaps,' he allows. He's not even sure himself, but he's certainly sure of its validity.
<Kotono> "Well come on, anyway." Jetina says, "Do you want to be carried? I'm going to go visit the market first, get something nice for lunch."
<Pepo> 'I do not mind,' he says, stopping so she can pick him up.
<Kotono> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 48 > 12 [d100=48]
<Kotono> It's an unremarkable trip. The ingredients for a nice meal are gotten, including some more fresh fish. As you walk down the streets...OOC: Perception.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+14
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 16 > 12 [d20=2]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+17
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 20 > 12 [d20=3]
<Kotono> A few more streets down, Jetina stops at a street side vendor. Fresh bread is being sold on a rolling cart, Jetina stopping him and reaching into her coin pouch - yet her hand only closes on air. "Wait, where's my coins?" she says, looking around. "Pepo, do you see my coin bag?"
<Pepo> Pepo looks around her feet.
<Kotono> No bag. Jetina looks around, "I...was I pickpocketed, or did I drop it? Dammit!" She looks around and sighs, "Do you have any kitty magic that can help, Pepo?"
<Pepo> 'I could make new money out of magic or try and divine where your money went, both would take ten minutes,' Pepo says. 'Alternatively we could take money off someone else.'
<Kotono> Jetina just shakes her head, "Try divining it," she suggests.
<Pepo> It seems a very trivial use of his magic. How much money can she have even had in a little bag? But he likes her so he obliges. 'I had thought such things only happened to Veren. Please don't jostle me while I concentrate,' he asks.
<Pepo> roll 1d100 6+ wild surge on divination, 'How will we recover Jetina's stolen money', CL 10
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 63 > 12 [d100=63]
<Kotono> Amazing, it comes back as fog and static - Pepo can tell the spell just normally failed. Urgh.
<Pepo> 'The divination failed,' Pepo informs Jetina. No doubt because it was so trivial. 'How much money did you lose?'
<Kotono> "50 gold," Jetina sighs, "Qupan gives as he takes, for charity is his cause, not mine."
<Pepo> 'I am sure it has gone to a good cause,' Pepo comforts her.
<Kotono> As the two talk, "Help, help!" Little's voice from above, coming right towards the two.
<Pepo> 'Call out to him, my voice cannot reach far,' Pepo tells Jetina, looking around for the spiny creature.
<Kotono> "Here," Jetina calls, "Down here, Little!" The gargoyle gets several looks from people nearby as he lands, but not that many.
<Kotono> "Help! Lost Hero was around ship!" He says, "I bet he looking to bad oppress! Bad oppress!"
<Pepo> 'Is he still there or did he leave?' Pepo asks, concerned for Kamhoff and his pets' health.
<Kotono> "Dunno," It says, "Little ran."
<Pepo> 'Then we should return with haste!' Pepo says, jumping free of Jetina's arms. 'Though it may prove a brutal battle, perhaps even impossible.'
<Kotono> Jetina's eyes widen, before she hurries along with Pepo.
<Kotono> OOC: More.
<Kotono> The three race back to the ship. Once there, they find an odd duo. Kamhoff is on deck, arms crossed and in a staring match with Lost Hero. The winged creature does not even blink once, only turning as the trio arrives. "As expected, you offer refuge to one of the blight."
<Kotono> "He may smell like the shit that comes out of my ass, but he's still on this ship," Kamhoff says, "We won't be fucking talking about him like something you're about to step on like a roach."
<Pepo> Pepo immediately gets to work on crafting an astral construct, as it's literally the only thing he has that can possibly hurt a creature like Lost Hero. 'Do not attack immediately, I am creating aid,' he tells Jetina, Little, and Kamhoff. 'Spells below 4th circle will fail on him, as will enchantments.'
<Pepo> OOC: augmented 8pp
<Ebiris> OOC: using muscle augment in case I forget
