"Well, I was thinking," Tapu started. "So we’re supposedly on a mission to acquire some sort of legendary item, if you believe the Oracle. We all know it’s a heist mission. The issue I’m having is with all the people who know about our ‘mission.’ We also weren’t given any concrete information other than that we have to go to that place and find our own information. Then there’s the issue with how willingly they almost doubled the reward. I get the feeling that we’re running headfirst into a trap. What do you think?"

Kue is lounging on the deck, enjoying the wind in her hair.
I'm properly the most experienced in recovery missions. The royal flush did... what? 20 retrieval missions?
Contemplation might be competent, but the others are civilians.
No plan ever survives first encounter with reality. Improvising is key.

She notices the halfling speaking with the ranger. He could be dangerous - or an asset if his energy can be directed correctly.

She rubs her dragonmark on her chest. It always itches when close to an elemental like they are right now.
OOC:
I'm assuming we are on an airship like this one

Yes the airship looks like that, only the elemental ring is made of lightning, not fire.

"You haven't been at this long, have you." making a statement more than a question. "Double, triple, quadruple crosses, back stabbings, quite literally sometimes, let's just say overall shenanigans, are common in our business."

"I believe the oracle saw what she saw, and the gnome seems trustful, but assume there are other parties involved.That's not paranoia, just good business practice. Hopefully nothing nefarious, but if so, it looks like our little party can handle themselves."

Placing one hand on Tapu's shoulder, in a friendly gesture, eye to eye, "The key is to stay vigilant, learn what you can, be decisive, and," leaning down closer to the halfling, "quietly slip a blade in between their third and fourth rib if the need arises." the other hand doing just that, a dagger lightly pressed against the halfing, before quickly being resheathed.

Standing back up, "Any other questions?"

"Well, I am used to working alone, not answering to anyone and doing my own jobs. This is the first time anyone has called on me... I will have to keep my guard up."

"Worry not lad, I was like you one day, and look at me now." sweeping his hand across to encompass his new companions and the airship.

"A mentor of mine once said, 'making a dream work requires teamwork.' "

"Well, let’s hope that teamwork doesn’t get us killed," Tapu mumbles as he moves on to talk to the others. He sees Lady Kue. She seemed to be enjoying this voyage. Well, another unknown factor in the party to clear up. Tapu strides up to her. "Lady Kue, right? So, what’s your story?"

Chapter 01: A Strange Summons
During the war, the Kingdom of Cyre engaged me and my squad. We specialized in recovering stolen artefacts and securing valuable relics that belonged to the crown. I did logistics and everything else a quartermaster took care of - and more. I supplied my group with transport, equipment and enchantments. She unpacks a deck of cards and looks through the deck. Protection. Weapon enhansment. Environmental Protection. That kind of thing.
My squad called themselves the royal flush - I was the queen of diamonds - shorten to Lady Kue

The airship crew unties the mooring lines, and you lift off into the sky above Sharn. The ship banks around the floating quarter of Skyway, then orients to the northwest. In minutes you're across the Dagger River and on your way to Zarash'ak, the closest thing the Shadow Marches has to a capital.

Your journey is a week long one. What do you do to pass the time?

"Well, there isn't much to tell," Tapu says. "I certainly didn’t have such an illustrious career as you had. No, I usually keep to myself and work alone. I am not exactly the trusting kind and not exactly hero material. So I am not sure where the Oracle lady got my name from, and that makes me suspicious."

Contemplation watches the daily routine of the airship with genuine interest. Humans (and humanoids) fascinate her.

Kyras does the same and takes the time to learn about the crew and the group he'll be working with. He also asks around about the oracle and the gnome, trying to get a feel for them outside of what he's heard before.

The airship is crewed by the Captain and four others, a first mate and three sailors. They're friendly enough, and show you all how the airship works and talks with you as they can to help pass the time. The Captain and the First Mate take turns steering the ship, and the other three help maintain her.

They don't know much about Flamewind that you haven't already heard. Supposedly she accompanied an expedition to Xen'drik, the continent to the south, back to the University two years ago. She sometimes spouts pieces of prophecy and sometimes calls adventurers and others to hear them.

There is this interactive eberron map that I found and I have marked our flight plan in red.

Halfway through the voyage, Lady Kue approaches the captain and requests that they stick to flying over land. She is refused, and for the following few days Kue is miserable and stays cooped up in her bunk. Its only when they are over land again that she returns to her normal self.
OOC:
@JoshuaMabry as easy as it is to copy/paste images into a post (its automatly uploaded to imgur), I would suggest that you use a few visuals aids with your posts. This just some friendly feedback.
I wanted to get an idear of where we were going, that we would fly over Manta Bay, and had the idea that Lady Kue is afraid of the deep water. I wouldn't have had the idea if I hadn't seen the map.

Contemplation approaches Lady Kue after her request to avoid the water. "I am curious. Why do you not wish to travel over the water?"
