CH. 10 - Chasing the Lleiset

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax chuckles "Yeah, probably wouldn't hurt ta have somethin wit a bit more range and stronger bite."

[Daos]

"Saw a fellow on the docks selling a pepperbox," Thom tells Brax.  "Pricey as the Nine Hells, but superior in every way to a dagger pistol."

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax considers the prospect of owning one and orders another drink "One more, drink an I'll find out I s'pose."

[Daos]

Once everything is settled, Bayla enters and approaches.  "Admiral, I prepared a course for Tu'Valie.  We should arrive in about 25 days.  We can leave tomorrow, if you want."

[HorizonsDream]

"It seems we have found all the people we can find here, so we will set sail tomorrow," Kalana says to Bayla.

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax nods his head agreeing "Aye, t'would be good ta set sail soon dun want tha crew gettin too relaxed."

[Daos]

The following day the three ships set sail for Tu'Valie with their new crewmen and artillery weapons.  Over the next 25 days, Brax practices with one of his new double-barreled pistols, until he feels as confident with it as his old pistol dagger.

The party arrives in Tu'Valie the morning of Agate 16th.  It's been a couple of months since the last time they were here, and the city has seen significant repair since then.  While hardly back to its old glory yet, many buildings have been reclaimed and fixed up and life is beginning to return to normal after the attack.  Now that the slaadi and undead are cleared up, the city is largely safe again, although there is still a significant presence at the docks still as many people are awaiting their homes and shops to be rebuilt fully.

The Tiaru, the Lleiset and the Seleya are already docked in the harbor, awaiting the party's arrival.

=============

It is now Agate 16th, 10 AM.

Kalana lets out a deep breath as she disembarks from the Blue Moon. They were still sorely outnumbered to take on the Gunn ships, but she didn't know where else to look for help in the matter. With a good plan, maybe this could work.

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax disembarks the Salty Dwarf and follows the admiral "What's tha matter admiral?" the dwarf captain asks seeing that the admiral is thinking and concerned by something. "Yer still thinkin' bout how we're sorely outnumbered ain't yah? Well what about that there gnome cleric didn't yah say he was helpin some temple round ere? Maybe they can help us find more ta join tha cause, than ere maybe them mercenaries are still round ere and mine be willin ta help."

[HorizonsDream]

"I doubt they have ships, but I know of a few people that would be willing to help still," Kalana says to Brax. "But they are going to want a plan too, and I don't have one. I was never aboard Gunn ships before, so I don't know how they operate tactically. I can tell you how they operate when it comes to their army on land though. Not only that, but I have all of these people risking their lives for my home, and I'm not even really sure any of you should be doing that."

[GreyWolfVT]

Brax listens intently and nods his head saying not much other than "Aye."

[HorizonsDream]

"I guess we should go greet everyone," Kalana says. With that said, she goes to greet all the captains of the ships she managed to recruit.

[Daos]

Kalana leads the way to the local waterfront inn.  Once a temporary shelter for all the displaced citizens, it's now back to just being a regular inn and tavern.  She spots Julak, Tiaru and Saren sharing a table together in the back, along with their first officers.

[HorizonsDream]

Before joining the three captains, Kalana walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep about any mercenary groups that might be in town.

[Daos]

"With the slaadi and undead gone, most of 'em have moved on to greener pastures," the innkeeper answers.  "But I think there are still three left.  Aata's Adventurers, Sisters of the Sea, and Black Sun."
