<strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>The airship was moored at the docks, floating there in the sky. It was round and somewhat small, like a freighter or private passenger liner. Still, suspended as it was above the city, the ship deserved some respect. Though they were in the consciousness of most everyone in the world, few people ever actually rode in them. Adventuring was the same way. Most everyone watched the Games, even if they had never seen a professional adventurer in person.<br/><br/>The ship itself was definitely of Aeune make. Not hobbled together from spare parts like the goblins east favor, nor was it made with aesthetics in mind like most of the private airshipwrights do. This one was built from factory parts with text painted on the side, 'Laft Hanza 005'<br/><br/>There didn't seem to be a bridge or anything allowing anyone to access the ship itself. For a man seeking employees, he sure wasn't being very receptive about it. There didn't seem to be a sign or really any way to contact him short of getting up there to meet him in person, if he<em>was</em>in his ship.<br/><br/><strong>Ivette</strong><br/><br/>The troll cowered in fear of reproach from the leader as he presented an angry fist. In committment to his demands, one of the trolls left to find the chains. The remaining two began a very one-sided conversation that often led the smarter and wiser of the two trolls to lose his temper. From what Ivette could gather from their conversation, the women were being offered as gifts to the trolls from the Grand Lord to gain their loyalty. When they had proven their fidelity, it was alluded that the trolls would soon be released in assistance to some unspecified aim of Grand Lord's...<br/><br/>The third troll returned soon after, his hands quite absent of any chains with which they could bind their prizes with. "Boggra, I loooooked but I d-"<br/><br/>Boggra growled and threw his arms up as he walked past, "You stupid oafffff! Youuu already forgot!? Come witthh mee- I show you!"<br/><br/>The two trolls stepped forward to follow, but Boggra shouted over his shoulder, "Yoouuu stay back, Worrow!! Watch them!"<br/><br/>The third scrag halted in his place and scratched his head. Before long, Ivette and the women were left alone with him.<br/><br/><strong>Dexter</strong><br/><br/>"Dun' suppose you ever learned how to swim, Dex?" Dirae asked, peering over the side of the ship into the murky depths below, "I dun' know what kind of beasties are floating around in there, though..."<br/><br/>"But if that thing goes all the way down to the ocean floor... Well shit, we ain't getting down there jus' by diving."<br/><br/>Upon closer inspection, Dexter recognized some magical runes carved upon the statue, though they were weathered and worn from years of abuse by the sea. Still, if this was from Ongwyn's time, the statue must have been magically warded against the elements to have remained it such a state since those ancient times.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Knowledge(Arcana) and Knowledge(Religion) please.
