You stand awaiting at the Meese Docks, awaiting for whatever this letter is to bring.
Game: Meese, oh my!
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

The female dwarf shoulders her way to the forefront, oiled chain mail coated in a layer of smoke to resemble charcoal. A shield of similar color bears the symbol of Moradin Soul-Forger, and a warhammer with identical runes rests at her belt. Residents of Oceatree might recognize Wendealynn Urchardan-Baran, blacksmith at The Jealous Jester.
Wendealynn lights her pipe and takes a few puffs, waiting patiently.

Licking her fingers free of the last vestiges of sausage juices, Kithri bounces up to the assembled motley crew. Hi everyone! You get one of these meese letters too? she says happily.
For those just seeing Kithri for the first time, she's a tiny little halfling with aqua colored hair. Her clothes are rugged, but somewhat erratic, made up of stylistic choices from what seems like a melange of people. A goblin tribal mask covers most of her face, an orcish belt is wrapped around her waist four or five times, holding a slender elven rapier. Across her back is a well-crafted but well-loved lute. A chest drops by her feet with a thud.

Wendealynn spares a brief glance at the dropped chest before looking at the halfling. "Just a general call, lass," she says to Kithri.
Mar 20, 2018 11:36 pm
Believe it or not you would be surprised how often you could lose track of or not even notice the young Barixius. At 5’6" the red-skinned tiefling has always prided himself on being inconspicuous despite his ostentatious appearance. Sporting leather Armor underneath a set of common clothes he currently sits on a dock pylon feeding a mouse on his shoulder. Doing his best to pretend that he is not watching everyone assembled.
Mar 21, 2018 12:09 am
General call or not, you simply MUST tell me about your pipe! It looks marvelously crafted, truly a lovely piece. Is it a family heirloom? How precisely did you come to so casually enjoy it? Kithri says, clearly not one to care over-much for general social niceties.
Mar 21, 2018 12:18 am
Wendealynn stares at Kithri for a long second. Finally, she says, "Got it from the store."
Mar 21, 2018 2:36 am
A bronze hued Dragonborn stands with three other well armed individuals. Equipped with sword, small shield and scale mail, she looks as prepared, but perhaps a little more anxious than her companions. Her looks are directed in turn to each person in the vicinity and continues to shift between them like a cobra sizing up prey.
It looks as if someone has invited amateurs to this party... Wisym will have none of their nonsense.

Kithri snorts softly at Wendealynn's answer. Well now, how will you EVER impress people with a tale like that? Where's the gusto? The mystery! The marvelous legacy of dwarven dominance over all things crafted? Kithri says, still cheery and not at all put off. This lasts just long enough for the bronze dragonborn to show up. And you are simply radiant! I don't know I've ever met one of the dragonblooded! So so many questions!
Mar 21, 2018 4:01 am
No longer under the gaze of the talkative halfling, Wendealynn idly draws from her pipe while she waits.
Mar 21, 2018 2:05 pm
Approaching is a large Goliath, decked out in a tunic made from a bear with the head still attached, he's carrying a large Morning star over his shoulder. He looks at the group, and wanders past them finding a large wooden post to lean against, yawns pulls out a hand ax that he uses to pick this mornings breakfast from his teeth and waits.

Leaf arrives last, having taken her time lounging in bed and then a leisurely breakfast, and stopping to watch some children at play while on her way to the docks. "Good morning, everyone!" the tabaxi says brightly, then approaches Kithri, her spotted tail curling around the halfling's legs. "Hey you're staying at the Devil's Respite, right? Kithri, I think you said your name was? I'm Leaf, in case you've forgotten."
Mar 21, 2018 5:44 pm
Hi Leaf! It'd be awfully damn difficult to forget someone like you! she says, immediately moving on from the dragonborn, her flitty nature becoming more and more apparent the longer she lets her mouth run.
Mar 21, 2018 10:14 pm
Out of the small building connected to the dock house, barges out a disheveled gnome male. His hair combed in places, tangled in others, and jutting out in others. His beard and mustache go every which way, creating a sort of half circle. He carries large bags under his eyes, denoting a heavy lack of sleep. As he takes notice to the crowd that has gathered, he jumps, startled, and lets out a small 'eep'. His speech is sporadic "I, oh boy; all wrong, nothing smooth. I'm Ovlet, Meese Handler and set up for the ferrying to and from Meese Island, and the one who sent out the letters you are all holding. I, boy, how to let this.... I wasn't expecting this much of an outcome to my request. I'm afraid I won't have enough to pay all of you upon completion."
There is an outcry, as the dwarf male throws his arms up, says something in dwarvish,
(those who speak it: it was a naughty word at Ovlet)
(those who don't speak it: can probably tell it wasn't anything nice, judging off the dwarfs anger) and storms off.
The elven woman, in a much more respectful manner, dismisses herself. The human male turns to the dragonborn, whispering something,before leaving.
The gnome begins to hop a finger to each of you then turns to a pouch that hangs on his side and he pulls out six gold. He holds it out towards the remaining group "It's, It's all I got at the moment. No one wants to visit the island any more with this threat spreading like wild fire. I don't care about the gold...those poor meese, such peaceful creatures, introduced to a predator. Deal with what endangers them; if my business returns, I promise I will pay you each a more fitting reward."

As everyone starts grabbing their coin from the gnome, Barixius hops off the pylon and casually steps into line to recieve the pre-payment.
Grammy what have you gotten me into?

Ignoring the halfling, Sirraah sizes up the Goliath as he approaches, she can’t help but let out a slight hiss of respect. Giant blood! This will be interesting. Undisciplined, but a worthy ally or foe in battle. Another who would fight and die with honor.
Mar 21, 2018 10:56 pm
Wendealynn sighs, exhaling a plume of white smoke. "Keep yer money for me, Ovlet," she says, walking up to the gnome with a neutral expression. "The Jester's willing to help you out."
Mar 21, 2018 11:04 pm
Sirraah crosses her arms and stands stiffly as her guild companions leave, and stiffens a little more as the last whispers to her in passing. After the smoking dwarf passes on the gold, Sirraah relaxes her stance a bit and seems to make a decision. She says to Ovlet "There iss no honor in taking your gold when the task has not even been sstarted. Pay the guild what you ssee fit when the job iss complete."

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.
Mar 22, 2018 12:12 am
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 12:50 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."
Mar 22, 2018 1:54 am
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
Mar 22, 2018 3:01 am
"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 
"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."
Mar 22, 2018 6:03 am
The dwarf nods, and without further word begins to walk towards the indicated vessel.

"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!"

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.
Mar 22, 2018 9:58 pm
Sirraah can’t help but look a the sky where the Tabaxi is pointing. "I see only a broken battle axe, lodged into the back of a dying boar, where iss the butterfly?" She looks away from the sky. Anyway, what iss your name and what sskill do you bring to this party?"

Kithri clambers into the boat, albeit a little unstable on her feet as she does so. She tries to find a seat away from the edge with enough room for her to slide her chest under the seat.
Given what we were told, anyone have any ideas as to what we're hunting? I wonder if there're good stories about them? I wonder if I could come up with a good story about it.... she says, letting her words trail off.

As you walk onto the boat, after a short second, you feel a sharp point at your neck. You see a half-orc, with a large tri-corn hat, a large gold earring, and a long black beard.
Everyone
A gruff voice that makes rum sound smooth rings out "And who's requestin' permission?"

No longer having a stranger aboard his ship, he goes about readying it for sailing.

Barixius finds himself a comfortable and out of the way spot to settle himself down in. Pulling the mouse out of his pocket and again feeds him small pieces of crackers.

Wendealynn taps out the ashes in her pipe, then walks up the gangplank and boards the vessel. "Captain," she says in greeting along with a nod, and moves to the appropriate area to stow her equipment. She then begins to remove her armor, placing the heavy chain mail next to her pack.
Clad in her traveling clothes, Wendealynn replaces her wide belt and returns to the deck.

Bragg, a little more sheepish moves to the front of the ship as well, he sits down staring at the stern of the ship not saying much
Mar 25, 2018 11:07 pm
When it seems there is a moment for someone in the crew to answer a question, "How long iss the trip to the Meesess Issland?" Sirraah will ask.
Mar 26, 2018 6:09 pm
As the ship is readied for take off, you notice it is only the captain prepping it along with instances of the ship seemingly prepping itself. After a moment, the ship set sails and leaves the docking building with Caespen behind the helm. "Bout an hour, give or take, if the weather favors us, it's usually around a hour and a half to two though; could be near four if the Gods decide to shit on us. Ye can never tell when it comes to sailin'." You watch as he casually scans the above sky.
Mar 26, 2018 6:14 pm
Out of boredom, Barixius begins wandering about the ship casually. Not attempting to stealth per se, but most definitely trying to not draw attention to himself.
Mar 26, 2018 6:31 pm
The ship is pretty sparse, especially given its size. Aside from Caespen, you, and the others joining you on this mission there is no one else on the ship and aside from three barrels below deck, there is no other items on the ship.

Wendealynn waits patiently. She stays out of the captain's way unless asked to assist, and otherwise stands quietly as the journey progresses.

Bragg, still looking uneasy about being on the boat, scans the Skies as well praying for favourable weather.
Mar 27, 2018 12:25 am
Sirraah stands with feet firmly planted at the bow of the ship, eyes closed, nostrils flaring as she inhales the salt air. Without opening her eyes she says aloud to Bragg. "Do you not feel the anticipation of battle giantblood? My only fear is that the threat that we are seeking requiress but a firm boot heel. There would be little honor in dispatching a small pesst."

There doesn't seem to be any sort of source, the winds never seem to remain. Walking into the winds in one spot, going back there later it no longer is there.
Mar 27, 2018 3:18 am
Captain Caespen looks over to Wendealynn before back on the sea "If'n ye don't mind me askin', lady, be there a reason of offin' ye armor when ye know ye be goin' to fight?"
Mar 27, 2018 3:27 am
Wendealynn pauses and looks at the captain briefly. "I don't doubt your skill, sir," she says, "but if the unfortunate should happen and I find meself overboard, I'd do far better afloat than plodding along the sea floor. Tell me when we're about 10 t' 15 minutes out, and I'll be back in me formals, for certain." She sticks the bit of her unlit pipe in her mouth.
Mar 27, 2018 4:04 am
Grateful for the opportunity to distract himself from the dread of sailing Bragg looks over to Sirraah, I am looking forward to a challenge but like you said if it is just a stomp to dispatch such a foe, I'm not sure I'll be interested in pursuing this assignment to futility. But something that I have learned in my travels is that many things are not what they seem, and hopefully this foe will be much bigger and stronger than we suspect!

Captain Caespen chuckles at Wendealynn's rebuttal "Fair 'nough, lady, fair 'nough."
He turns to Barixius with a raised eyebrow "Odd drafts or winds? What are...Ah." his face returns to normal "Ye be talkin' 'bout me crew most likely. Can't be havin' a mutiny if ye crew don't have brains or goals. They be a wee bit of me magic."

Never having witnessed magic such as that, Barixius is intrigued and impressed. He goes back to casually meandering about the ship, waiting for landfall on Meese Island.
Mar 27, 2018 11:52 pm
Sirrrah's mouth opens slightly and her lips pull back a bit in a smile that another dragonborn would not find unnerving, but others often mistake for an impending attack. She continues to face the wind with her eyes still closed.
Mar 28, 2018 6:43 am
The weather proves fruitful and before you realize Captain Caespen calls out "Land ho, lads and ladies; if this weather keeps up we'll reach it in about 15 minutes. Prepare yeselves, both mentally and physically for who knows what lurks for ye on land."
Within moments, you reach the island; the captain throws anchor and drops the gangplank "I'll be waiting for ye back here when ye be ready to leave or need a rest. Be wary out there."
The islands golden sands merge into the greenest plains you've ever seen that seem to stretch out forever. Rolling hills, shrubs, little lakes, and small fruit trees dot the landscape. It is a serene paradise with supposed evil lurking within.
You see a somber look on the Captain Caespen's face "Sad times indeed, the meese are usually so abundant—scurrying 'ere to there, gathering fruits and bugs—now it's like they don't even exist. May the winds fill ye sails to see ye completion swift, to the lot of ye."

Wendealynn had taken the time to don her chain mail when Caespen made the announcement, and with an expressionless nod to the captain she makes her way down the gangplank. When she reaches the sand, she looks back at the half-orc. "Have you seen any of these predators?" she asks.
Mar 28, 2018 7:47 am
Caespen shakes his head "Only the bodies left in their wakes; don't know if'n I can even call them bodies, they be more like husks or empty shells. Discarded and drained of their very life source..." His thought trails off as he stares off at the island.
Mar 28, 2018 10:03 am
As we are about to hit landfall Barixius decides its time to speak up to the ground. When everyone is gathered Ok, just so everyone knows, I work best from the shadows. I have a proclivity for liberating items from people and making sure they are unaware it is I doing the liberating. I pull my dagger out. Now while I haven’t honestly done much in the way of murder or assaniation, this skillet of mine will surely come I handy should some sneaking about be required. I may perhaps even get the drop on our prey, with your all’s help of course. Distraction is a key part of deception and stealth. So, in conclusion, I hope that as we learn to work here as a team this information will help you better understand the tactics I will look to employ as we hunt our prey.
Mar 28, 2018 4:28 pm
Wendealynn listens until Barixius ends his speech. She lights her pipe and says, "Can't help but notice you led off with the part about stealing from folk, and even threw in some deception... amongst the other things you said. So I wonder, aside from your skill in sneaking about and maybe dabbling more into the murder and assassination, you looking to rob and deceive these predators that suck these meese dry... or you thinkin' of other folk being your target?"
Mar 28, 2018 5:02 pm
Barixius smiles at the implication. It was my hope that by being forthright with the lot of you that it would...absolve myself from suspicion of any ill intent towards you. I am here to earn a living, as I assume the rest of you are as well. It would not benefit me to harm or steal from any of you. At the end of the day, none of us no each other, so who's to say you wont be robbing and deceiving the rest of us? The last statement directed only at Wendealynn.
Mar 28, 2018 5:16 pm
"Not saying I don' appreciate your candidness," says the dwarf, "but it's telling that you frame your willingness to work together in terms of being beneficial to yourself.
"Still, you bring up a good point," she continues, and takes out her pipe to look at everyone. "I am Wendealynn. I work at The Jealous Jester, smith that I am, and I'm here because anything disruptin' the meese affects the livelihood of those back in Oceatree."
Wendealynn taps the symbol of Moradin on her shield. "Some o' ya might recognize the mark of the Soul-Forger, but if you don', know that by his might and his will, I seek no harm to come to any of ya... sneaks included."

He looks over to Sirraah and says I guess he's not much like us who like to meet our challenges head on then he says to Bari, while blatantly checking his pack to ensure he still has everything. If by distraction you mean beating our foe over the head then consider it distracted

Sirraah joins the forming conversation. I also appreciate your candor Barixius, and I will make no judgements today about your disshonorable career. I have agreed to work together to eliminate whatever threat liess here. She steps a bit closer When I am no longer honor bound to work with you, you besst not have me catch you in any unlawful actss. You might quickly find the hilt of my ssword nestled against your chest.
Sirrah turns to Wendealynn Lady Dwarf, I almost envy your faith. I find that mortalss cannot count on ssuch divine intervention. I trusst only in my ssword, and even that iss with much caution.

Barixius, you've heard tales of these things, rum gremlins as they've been called, frequenting docks and ships causing hell for sailors. They radiate a magic aura causing drunkeness affecting anybody in that area. They are known to take great delight in the collateral damage their magic can wreak, sparking accusations and quarrels in places they inhabit before picking off isolated victims. The take advantage of the state of their victim dragging them into their lairs below docks or in the holds of ships. You can't find any reason why it is here other than perhaps food.
Bragg, it's tracks seem sporatic and hard to locate a definitive direction.
Wendealynn, it looks like they are simply drunk and should wear off with time; the magic seems to be the act of making them drunk without drinking as to a magical drunkness.
Sirraah does a simple flourish, nothing impressive normally, perhaps more so due to the fact she's drunk, but finds the sheath none-the-less.

"I have never heard of thiss rum gremlin but it hass a nasty effect, even from a distance. How can we protect ourselves from being affected?" Sirraah shakes her head vigorously. "I am affected already, so it makes sense for us to continue with me in the lead. I cant get any worsse. This iss as good a direction as any."
She straightens her shoulders and marches forward up a slight hill at a quick pace. After five strides, each progressively less steady, Sirraah stumbles and falls forward. Unable to stop the momentum of her large frame in scale mail, she falls face first on top of her shield.

Wendealynn sighs, and evidently ignores the dragonborn on the ground. "I felt something when I got close. What about the rest of you?" she says, looking at Bragg, Kithri, and Barixius.
Apr 12, 2018 5:43 pm
I felt a small twinge but nothing detrimental, hmm I like your idea Bari of following the coast and perhaps finding a ship that they might have came on

Nope! I feel right as rain! Kithri says, thinking back if she had any ill effects. Not really sure why, but definitely didn't feel any weird type feelings!
Apr 12, 2018 8:07 pm
Wendealynn considers the answer. "You and Barixius were farther away. I'd guess you have to be within spittin' distance to get the wobbly effect. Could be we have t' rely on ranged attacks when eradicatin' 'em.
"As for searching the coast," she continues, "there might be a shipwreck, or they stole aboard the Blood Rose during one of the many trips. Shipwreck would be convenient, of course, 'cause that's pro'lly where they lair if'n they like the water."

" I feel fine as well. I think their deal is that they emanate some sort of magic that makes you feel drunk...but you have to be close to them for it to affect you. So we should keep our distance if we are able to get the drop on one. And if anyone randomly feels drunk all of a sudden then its probably safe to assume we are close to another one."

The time passes uneventful, whether because whatever is terrorizing this island isn't looking for you, doesn't know about you, or has been dealt with is impossible to tell. The drunkenness effecting Leaf and Sirraah, caused by the gremlin, fade as your rest comes to an hour.

Leaf volunteers to take point but as the group moves she quickly proves to be an unreliable scout as she keeps getting distracted by every interesting flower, bird, insect, and rock that she spots.

Before they set off from thier rest, Sirraah assembles the light crossbow that was in three pieces in her pack. She takes a test shot at a tree at close range then retrieves the bolt.
Sirraah rolls her eyes when the furred one takes the lead but says nothing and follows. She doesn’t stop when their scout chases a large butterfly or pounces on a pretty seashell.

Barixius slinks into the grasses, disappearing from view and begins to scout ahead. There is no sign of any other vessel besides the one you came on or signs of any wreckage. As you move through the grass, the island is silent, any sounds drowned out by the sound of the lapping waves amongst the shore. As you move, checking your foot placement to assure silent movement, you look down just in time to stop yourself from stepping on a meese; it looks to have an injured leg.

Aside from the gremlin earlier, this is the only other sign of life you've seen and can see. It isn't moving, it's leg is bent oddly, and it's breathing is labored.

I pick it up and bring it back to the group.

If I understand correctly, thiss one is too new from the egg to be out on itss own. I was not aware there were inhabitants on the island. Iss there a village nearby?
Sirraah examines the wrappings around the baby, looking to see if they were made with care or malice. Is the baby in pain or just afraid. We should leave its mouth covered for the quiet, unless someone can feed it.

Clever enough to have somethin' at play...but what be the bigger picture?"

Solitary is strange you say? Do they typically hive, like bees? Or are they more of a burrowing group, like rabbits? OOOH, are they familial? Does anyone know, can anyone be close enough to them and feel sober enough to actually study them? Kithri says, piping up now that something seems to be of interest to her. Her charcoal stick moves furiously over the notebook, recording everything she can about the rum gremlins.

"Aye, strange indeed. Wouldn't say a hive; thee largest group recorded was seven, typically they run around three to four. Don't know 'bout their family ties, can't say I care too much eiter; they're all thee same to me—vermin." He pauses a moment to make sure the injured meese is comfortable before continuing "Not many people choose to study them; for many reasons I assume. One; this'n be for the lucky ones, it's kinda hard to write when yer tossed off yer shitter. Two; hard to think about iff'n they keep it all in thee family while yer busy drowning to death, drunk off yer shitter. Three; they be about as interesting as rat droppin's on the bottom of yer shoe."

Bragg motions to the little meese that the Captain is holding, Please let me know how he fares I am a little impartial to him
Bragg takes his morning star and hits it against his shield stating
I am about ready to smash some of these little boozing bastards

"Well, I think we need to leave the infant here with the captain then and continue searching the island to see if more of these creatures are around. Maybe we start heading the other direction or we can split up to cover more ground. Thoughts?

"If these are what have been killing the meese, why hass it been such a mystery? These sseem to be known though I have never encountered them."

Bragg nods at Sirraah's comment, I too agree, but that is not going to resolve the problem. Let's go the other direction as Bari suggested, but I don't believe splitting up is the best idea
Bragg walks off the boat ready to head in the other direction.

Sirraah readies her crossbow, and stands with Bragg. She says loudly, Now iss not the time for napss!

Bari nods and once again attempts to disappear into the woods and scout ahead...this time in the opposite direction.

Unless someone shakes her awake Leaf will continue to doze, happily dreaming of rainbows and unicorns.

Bragg starts to loko impatient.... then abruptly goes aboard below deck and flips the hammock, Just wanting to see if what they say is true, do you land on your feet? He chuckles

"The gremlin was eating the meese, yes," says Wendealynn, looking for a shaded spot to set up a small hammock for the infant. "Don't know if it sucked out the innards first, so we could be looking for something else besides. And, given how the babe was found far ashore, seems like it was dropped off rather than washed in with the tide, and this gremlin don't seem the type to be a nanny."
As Bragg shifts the sleeping Leaf, Wendealynn huffs, "Let 'er rest. If'n she wakes, she can help the cap'n or watch the kid." She finishes her makeshift cradle inside the cabin and returns to the deck.
"Hope ya don't mind the extra passenger," she says to Caespen. "I can't see how it'd have come from one-a yer charters, unless you and Ovlet have a habit of not rememb'ring those ya ferry."

Leaf falls flat on her face on the deck. "Ow! What the-? Is it dinner time already?"

Bragg let's out a hearty laugh, looks like I just proved that wrong. Leaf let's get going, and perhaps we'll get us some dinner on shore

Kithri quickly stuffs her notes back into her pack before scrambling off after Bragg and company. I am certainly intrigued! Perhaps with enough documentation about their cultures and habits, we could have a handbook that could help other travelers! she says excitedly as she hurries to catch up.

OOC:
No, I believe you all slept it off.Update: I've been meaning to put something up on the absence boards but haven't had much time, as if that hasn't been obvious. I don't plan on ending this game but there will be times where I'm too tired to think and put a solid thought together; for example, tonight I need to do a three person shift, alone, with the intention of no overtime.
I will get to continuing this story eventually, just wanted to let you all know first of why I've been a ghost. I want to thank everyone for their patience and the continued input to this game; I'm enjoying the in between with the characters. So to put those wheels in motion, to make things easier for me: Wendealynn, if you put down the baby, perception check.

Wendealynn settles the infant in the hammock, giving a casual inspection that things are secure.

Wendealynn pauses, staring at the child. She then turns and tromps out to rejoin the party on shore. "Let's go."

"We're coming, we're going..." Leaf yawns and stretches, then shrugs follows the others.
