Overhearing the Dragonborn, Barixius, without breaking stride, smiles and takes the coin from the gnome. He turns and for the first time addresses the remaining assembled group. Grammy told me, Bari (pronounced Barry) there are three types of people in this world. Lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor and lovers of gain. Full disclosure, since it appears we are now partners at the least, I am the latter.

Barry iss it? There iss nothing wrong with gain, as long as it iss earned. Sirraah dips her head in a slight bow. I am Sirraah
Mar 22, 2018 12:27 am
Bari nods his head slightly to show respect.
Mar 22, 2018 12:50 am
I'll hold you to that promise little man 
Bragg says as he walks over and grabs his one gold piece. He then bites it in front of the gnome to ensure it's authenticity. 
ok good enough, now these meese, they're small right? So this predator can't be that much bigger right? I'm hoping this is going to be a better challenge than it sounds
He sees Sirraah eyeing him which he acknowledges with a nod

As some of you decline the coin and others promise their help, you see as if a tremendous weight has been lifted from the gnome "Thank the Maker, perhaps my luck has finally turned around." he turns and looks way up at Bragg "Meese are tiny, I'd reckon you could fit about five to ten in your hand comfortably...but that's the thing, no one saw what the predator was or if it is even a singular being. The only account was the last tour left horrified, telling there was meese strewn about the island completely drained of their life; an empty husk of death."

So meese are not like moose then,but more like mice? Sirraah looks at Bari, then back to the wild haired gnome. Who else livess on the island besidess these creaturess?
Mar 22, 2018 1:54 am
With a gleam in his eye Bragg says ok that sounds horrific which means a challenge. What are we waiting for, take us there little man

"I guess in terms that they're both rodents, yes." He pads the various pockets on him and produces a small notebook, quickly skimming through the pages before stopping and turning it to show
[ +- ] a picture.
"That is a meese, they were the only ones on the island until recently; hence the name 'Meese Island'."

Ovlet turns to Bragg "I'm sorry if I mislead you but I will not be accompanying you to the island. The description alone of what happened to those poor meese makes my stomach churn, I don't think I'd be able to handle seeing them. The normal tour guide captain will be sailing you over there; Captain Caespen. Though I doubt he'll accompany you on the island, just sail you over there and await for your return."

They are awfully adorable! Kithri says, looking at the notebook sketch. We cannot allow these little creatures to be sucked dry like a wineskin at a drunkard's party!
Mar 22, 2018 3:33 am
Wendealynn says nothing as the meese are described. Only when the captain is mentioned does she ask, "Which boat is it?"
Mar 22, 2018 3:49 am
Ovlet seems to uncomfortably ignore Kithri's descriptive metaphor and addresses Wendealynn "It should be the only boat docked, it is the only boat allowed to and from Meese Island. Just show him the paper or tell him Ovlet sent you, he'll know what it is for." With the weight lifted his eyes seem to hang even lower, as if, he feels comfortable enough to not be constantly awake "I, I need to sleep. Please end this blight on the poor meese population."

The dwarf nods, and without further word begins to walk towards the indicated vessel.
Mar 22, 2018 6:12 am
Bragg turns and follows the dwarf.
finally this could be something worth my time
Mar 22, 2018 9:45 am
Barixius falls in step with the rest of the group.
Mar 22, 2018 9:59 am
"Oooh! A boat ride! I LOOOVE boat rides! Though I've only been on one other boat ride before, to be honest."
Mar 22, 2018 10:32 am
Sirraah walks closely behind the Tabaxi. As they walk toward the boat, she queries "Excuse my forwardnesss, but I have never encountered a person ssuch as yourself. Where does your family live?"
Mar 22, 2018 10:52 am
"Never seen one like you neither! Well, not before sailing east across the Heartfill Sea. Family? Oh, it's just me, myself and I now, which was why I left home and went exploring, which I'm glad I did because now I've met you fine folk. Ooooh, look, that cloud is shaped like a butterfly!"

Bragg approaches the boat, and eyes it suspiciously. I can only hope that this ride, is short, fast to this island
He takes a pause before trying to get on, and very cautiously steps aboard. Perhaps I should have held off on the breakfast this morning...

Wendealynn stops at the gangplank even as the goliath moves ahead of her. "Permission to come aboard?" she calls out, and waits for a response.
