Sandra hugged Yazhu gratefully once the coast was clear once more. "I thought I was a goner when they showed up!"<br/><br/>By the time Ameiko and the others finished shopping and returned, they were none the wiser as to the events of the day. Ameiko sniffed the air with a curious expression on her face, but let the matter slide.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yazhu hugged Sandra back with a smile. "it's quite simple really. Like a Taldoran matador baiting a bull, you 'bait the men into doing what you want." ;)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">To Brinewall</span></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The Jade Whores had gotten along fine as co-workers in a massage parlour, but the continuous close proximity forced by travel had caused friction and made disagreements inevitable. It was hard to please everyone...<br/><br/>If Yazhu had anything to discuss with the others, now was the time, before they arrived at Brinewall.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In order to avoid the inevitable disagreements, Yazhu suggested that the ladies all play cards and games with each other. One suggestion was the traditional Tian game called Go, favored by the learned and scholars. But Yazhu quickly found out she was not good at all at Go, so suggested playing Mahjong after a few hands. During the games she decided to chat up Shalelu.<br/><br/>"Hey Shalelu, how you holding up? I know you aren't always much for talk, but I wanted you to know how happy I am we're all here together. I admit, it hasn't been easy, but I'm really glad the fates brought us all together. Things always seem a little brighter when I know we all have each other's backs."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Outskirts of Brinewall</span></div><br/>Yazhu shivered a bit at the sight of the ruined town. "To think this place used to be a happy, bustling little village," she mused. "I hope Magnimar doesn't end up like this!"<br/><br/>Looking around, the sight of a half-sunken wreck was the most obvious goal. "Hey Boss, I don't see any other sunken ships around here! Think this might be the one? Or maybe we can get a better vantage point at the lighthouse?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Yazhu's first suggested order of business will be to go to the lighthouse at Area R  to survey the land, then to the ruined longship at Area M to check and see if it's the one part of Ameiko's legacy.<br/><br/>Since we traveled south to get here, I presume Yazhu and the gang are on the northern shores?</div></div>
