I'll nod to Shaliko, "Let's go.". With that I'll open the door to let him go through it first, following behind him if he does so. We can head down to the docks together, I'll be looking for cheap passage to our next destination.
"For the next leg of our journey we're going to be heading a bit further north...see here on the map? We just need to find someone who'll take us up that way. Once we're back on land we could pass through any number of these villages en route to our next destination, I'm thinking that's where we'll get a lot of information on what we're hunting." Since we're in public, I'm omitting any specific references to exactly what it is we're hunting.
If we can't see any ships offhand, we might be able to get some information from the harbormaster, so I'll look around for his building too.

Re: Czlaplon Quest
I just can't escape. "Alright, I'll help...but I'm sure you know as much as I do. Probably more." There isn't much else I can do now until Isaac brings back the information of what ship we'll be on and when, so there isn't really any rush. "I guess...we start with finding Mekhitar, and then tell what he told us. Along with confirming that he isn't Horror-marked or tainted."

Re: Czlaplon Quest
Isaac, if you have Haggle or any similar negotiation Talent or Skill, make a Test with it. Otherwise, make a CHA Test.
Torana, make a PER Test.
Torana, make a PER Test.

Re: Czlaplon Quest
I got a 7 on the Charisma role. Not really my forte, so I'll be relying mostly on Shaliko for this one. Just mainly along so we know exactly where we're going.

Re: Czlaplon Quest
Side note: This campaign is now being documented on the Fortetsa Hebo wiki. See http://fortetsa-hebo.com/pmwiki-2.1.27/ ... n.Czlaplon for the index page.
Isaac and Shaliko are turned away by the first ship outright. "No, adepts are weird and dangerous and we don't carry your kind." Shaliko tries to use logic, which utterly fails. He's a Vorst. They're not a charismatic people. He seems annoyed that the crewman doesn't understand the necessity of your quest, or how he would benefit from it. The second ship doesn't go any better. At the third, however, the mate that you speak with is an older woman, with a couple of old weapons scars. "You want to go north? Yeah, we could take your party as far as the Syrtis border, drop you off in Tansiarda. Run you eight silver a person per day, that's six days' travel, that's forty-eight silver a person."
Gudrun gets a bit frustrated with Torana, after the third time Torana says "but before that", and sets aside her inkpot and quill and good parchment, taking out an old piece of well-scraped parchment and a charcoal pencil. "Let's get the facts in order first, shall we?" she grits out, obviously determined to get through a painful exercise without losing her cool. Torana, Gudrun, and Garsevan spend the next couple of candlemarks getting a coherent report together. Finally, Gudrun says, "I have sufficient information and clarity. Go away and let me write the formal version in peace." Garsevan is out the door before anything further can be said.

Re: Czlaplon Quest
"Maybe we shouldn't have mentioned that we were adepts. Oh well, I suppose it's obvious anyway." I'll say to Shaliko after the second failed attempt at getting a boat. On the third try, I'll look a little perturbed at the price but all things considered it looks like the best one we're going to get. "Let's see...there's you and I, Torana, Gudrun, Kolbeinn, Mekhitar...and Torana's animals as well, I wonder if there's an extra charge for that. That's at least 240 silver..." I'll grumble a little. "That's really not the kind of money I carry on me every day."
Turning to woman I'll ask. "Is there a branch of the Overland Trading Company around here? I can get the money you need there. I've not, I'll need some time to deliberate with my companions."

Re: Czlaplon Quest
"See? This is why I just draw pictures." My first thought is to just go and spend the time until Isaac gets back with the ice flyers and Andine...but Kolbeinn still needs help. Of course...I can talk and groom at the same time. "Kolbeinn, why don't you come with me? We can work on your Throalic while I take care of the animals."

Re: Czlaplon Quest
Isaac: The mate grins. "Well, duh," she says. "Overland is right over there." She points across a canal to the next islet, where there's a couple of large buildings, one with the Overland Trading shingle hung out. "If you've got animals, yeah, that's going to cost you more. Horses?" Shaliko laughs but leaves it to you to explain.
Garsevan and Mekhitar are at the bar, having a beer and trading stories. They have no interest in going along to do animal tending. Kolbeinn goes along with Torana, and help out with her animals, although he's not very good at it. He asks for a small bit of the jerky you're feeding to the ice flyers, chews it for a moment, then spits it out with obvious disgust. "There," he says, rinsing his mouth with something strong from a flask, "now I can make more of that if your supplies run low."

Re: Czlaplon Quest
"Right...it's not exactly horses...it's some ice flyers and a big cat." I'll think about this for a moment. "Listen, I need to go take out some money if I'm going to be boarding anything at all. It'll give me some time to consider your present offer as well. So let me think about it, okay?" I'll tip my hat to her and walk away. While on the way to the overland trading office, I'll talk to Shaliko.
"After careful consideration, I think I've deduced that we're both terrible at this. If only people would listen to reason instead of the jingle of coin purses, but I guess that's the way the world works. So maybe we should seek a third opinion on this." I'll think for a moment. "I don't entirely trust Mekhitar, but this is booking a boat, and he might want to prove that we can trust him. So maybe he could be useful here. How about we talk to him after I get some money?"
Regardless of his response, I'm going to get some money from my account at the overland trading company anyway, I'm running a little low. I'll take out 250 silver.
