"Your magisty, that was so I was lead to believe but facts do not appear to prove this out. My crew was ready to start this morning, and I agree to only daylight work only, but only the Master and I were allowed to visit the ship. My crew still waits at the dock with nothing to do right now.
As to a service for the missing and likely dead and the one known dead, I plan a sea ceremoney. The clerics of any faith on this isle is welcome to speak as well before I consign Clark to the depths."
A ship service from the ship would be better in his view, but considers that unlikely. The docks will do good enough.
"There is a little perperation requied, the body of Clark and a tilt board at the end of the dock. It can be something quickly built and quickly removed. As to Master Hammerfist idea. He speaks of a friend of yours recently with children that can fly and might lift the ship. The color nor name of the Wyrm was mentioned. His idea if there is enough rope she clould fly the Jade Srar off the rocks into the dry dock he expects to be completed tommorrow My concerns are about paying for such a service, but also rigging her safe enough to be lifted.
I perfer a rock to mud plan as a better option and should be less costly as well."

[t:121mul4d]"We have some naval ships that I will give orders to take your men out to start on repairs and salvaging.If you would prefer, you can hold your service on one of them, I can send a priestess of Tempes and a priest of Kelemvor to precide over the proceedings."
[t:121mul4d]"Your idea of the spell is a good one, and I am certain the only reason master hammerfist suggested otherwise is because no spell is powerful enough to turn all the rocks in the bay to mud, and the last time we had a wreck, with one of our ships, we did that. Unfortunatly, she was so bottom heavy from the damage she scraped anew on the coral and we almost lost her.I will speak to .."

Listens to you as you speak repectfully.
"If the lift can be made the stucture of the ship exaimened. She was built to be lifted. Ships to transport crew and what cargo that is left of course welcome. Would they be under command as to when t sail or will it be more like my making requests that the captains will consider and decide if or when to aid me by following my request? A ship for a dusk service beyound the reef would be nice as well. Master Hammerfist indicates the drydock will be completed sometime tomorrow, but I think the Jade Star should not be moved until she is as light as posible.
Your Priest and Preistess of course welcome to attend and say words.."

[t:3tfxw5c3]"I will send a guard out right now to speak to our captain. I will have him wait for you at the docks. Besides routine perimeter checks he has little else to do so he shouldn't have any problems taking your crew out whenever you wish. I will aslo inform him to have a ship available to you for your service, and send word to the temple about the priestesses."
[t:3tfxw5c3]She turns to call over a guard and she speaks to him in their own strange tongue, the guard nods and turns away,
[t:3tfxw5c3]The princess sighs,
[t:3tfxw5c3]"I was trained from birth for this , but at times I still find myself so unprepared.I constantly wonder if I am doing things right. "
[t:3tfxw5c3]"Forgive me, I digress, was there anything else you wished to speak to me about? Perhaps your opinion on using Granny to lift the ship? If the idea still makes you weary even knowing she would not charge you, please say so. "
[t:3tfxw5c3]She smiles at you, and it illuminates her face, making one realize exactly how pretty she is,
[t:3tfxw5c3]"Im not one of those tyranical nobles who decapitates any who dare voice a different opinion."

Much as he expected so does not react to your order concerning control of the ships.
"I thank you for your kindness."
Wonders at the aparent display of vuniblity, is it an act or is she truely uncertain. Still having a hard time believing assassins can get into the castle, however slowly becoming to believe that considering how easy he was allowed in with his sword and dagger.
"Nay your magisty, I was concerned about the cost and of course the rigging, if that is not a concern I welcome Granny's help getting her off the rocks. The sooner she is in water the better."
The charming smiles fails to charm him, the words of even considering decapitaction might have aided the appeal.
"My goal and duty is to get back on route as fast as I can. Aid you in your problems as payment for your kindness. I will offer any idea that can speed the process. My current concerns have been addressed, with your permission I will return to my crew and the work that needs to be done."
Bows head to you, awaiting your permission to get out of your sight.

[t:21l2rrls]"Then I shall speak to Granny right away. We should be able to scrounge up enough rope and rigging for such a 'flight'.You may be about your business now , Captain, I am sure you have much to do."
[t:21l2rrls]She stops you though when you turn to leave,
[t:21l2rrls]"Captain? No mind reader am I, but I have certain gifts that allow me to judge someone's character, and though I perceive you are a good man, I also see that you do not like me very much. Have I offended you in some manner? If so, pray speak of it therefor I might make amends."

Nods in agreement thar Granny should be contacted and with your permission to depart started to turn away to leave when you ask your question. She is concern she offended me is it worth something to say so. Do not trust is one thing, but nothing has been offending on the part of Mara, Ibn hiding cloaked for years more offending, Raven not reporting back after council to go wit Ibn far more offending then these strange crwatures. Not recieving command over a few captains very understandable and not offending either. If it was his island giving command to a stranger would not come easy to do. A smiles crosses his lips, perhaps telling her how offended he was the only proper way to correct would be for her to bear his child. Then speaks to you?
Nay there is nothing you have done to offend me. You have offered me much aid in continueing my vorage. As for liking or disliking you we have spook perhaps three times, hardly enough time to form a friendship. My mind is focused on my ship and my crew which might xplain why I appear unfriendly." Hopes that satidfies you sohe can return to his ship and crew. Stating that he does not trust these strange creatures would only make things harder for getting off the island.

[t:1w6n1zfk]She nods, but you see a strange glint in her eyes, almost as if something saddens her greatly, but she says nothing of it, only smiles and says,
[t:1w6n1zfk]"I'm just being silly I suppose, head on about your work , sir, and if you need me , you have only to send me word.The captain should be waiting for you at the dock."
[t:1w6n1zfk]When you return to the dock , you can see your crew assembled in front of a decent sized warship. It only holds 2 cannon, but any more would obviously make it to heavy to travel these reefs.A nymaru man in uniform approaches you,
[t:1w6n1zfk]"Good day to you, Captain. My name is Malacki and this.."
[t:1w6n1zfk]He points at the ship behind him,
[t:1w6n1zfk]"Is the Dark Maiden. I believe you wish to get your crew out to start on repairs and salvaging?"

With relerf departs the castle and heads back to the docks. He may not have impressed the princess and he hopes she has taken no insult. With an eye glanced to the sun's position, speaks with Malacki, after offering him a salute.
"The name of the ship will please my first mate. She looks a stout lady. Aya I would indeed wish to start doing what we can this day, but the afternoon is opon us and I wish a sea service at dusk for our fallen. Perhaps we have time to transport some of the crew to the Jade Star to look at damage, but salvage work I fear, other then very light, will have to wait until later. Do you sail at night? I also have an engafement with Master Hammerfist after service to discuss a few things. "

Meanwhile a bit out in the sea a dark spot can be seen hanging in the air. This dark spot is actually a man. The long cloak he is dressed with is embroidered with the symbol of Eilistraee on its back. He wears red garments with golden dragonlike symbol embroidered on them. Over his clothes he wears a strange suit of scale mail which seem to be constructed of platinum. The sword in his sheath is half-drawn and his hand grips the hilt as if his life depended on it. His head hangs down on his chest and his silver hair is soaked and hangs down across his face. With a groan he lifts his head and streches out his left hand, withdraws it and confirms that there is no rain.
"Gah, by the seven heavens that storm is finally over. Being thrown overboard was not such a good idea, luckily the blessing of the godess keeps me in air, but for how long?"
Lance slowly keeps moving forwards, trying not to overdo the magic of his cloak. Luckily the cloak is depending on the wearers will, not his body. Then Lance sees something a bit away, something green. A normal man would not had seen it but with his dragon-given vision Lance can easily discern the island.
"By Bahamut's platinum scales! An island!"
Urging the cloak forward Lance soon flies at full speed and as he knows it he knows that the magic of the cloak will soon be exhausted. As the island grows larger he begins to descend towards the water.
"No, by Eilistraee you will not fail me now!" Lance screams as he desperately struggles to ascend. Then the blessing is gone, he is no longer kept flying by the cloak. He still moves forward but down as well.
"No, I will not lose this close. I call upon the blood!" with a grunt Lance taps into his draconic powers and with a small tickling feeling a pair of draconic wings extend from his back. With a powerful flap of the wings Lance gains altitude and soars towards the island. Too tired to notice anything he looks for a suitable place to land and sees a castle or fortress of some kind.
"Excellent, I can land on the battlements!" he grunts
Lance soars towards the castle, circles and finally lands on one of the battlements. He lies on his knees gasping for air, exhausted from the flight.

Lance soars towards the castle, circles and finally lands on one of the battlements. He lies on his knees gasping for air, exhausted from the flight.
After a while Lance can summon enough strength to arise. He pulls out a beautiful silver amulet from beneath his shirt, kisses it and says a prayer.
"Eilistraee and Bahamut, I thank you for delivering me here safely"
The amulet is a strange piece of work. Half of it is decorated with a dragonlike pattern while the other half is decorated with patterns resembling moons, swords and dark elves. The middle of the amulet constantly shifts between two holy symbols, a nude dark elf female with a sword and a strange symbol of a platinum scale with a star surrounded by fog (for the symbol look at [url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/draco ... g:37grepka]this[/url:37grepka] link). The irony strikes him again, his Eilistraee-blessed cloak helped him survive while his dragon-given vision made it possible to detect the island. The platinum dragon and the dark maiden working in unison saved his life again.
A scratching sound from within his bag made Lance abandon his thoughts. He reached into the bag and released a miniature version of a red dragon. The little dragon jumped out, flapped with its wings to gain altitude, looked Lance straight into his eyes and emitted a chirping sound.
"Yes, I know Shealzin. But I had to do the flying, do you imagine how wet [i:37grepka]I[/i:37grepka] am?"
The small dragon purred.
"Yes, I can imagine. Next time [i:37grepka]you[/i:37grepka] can do the flying part and I can just hold on, OK?"
The little dragon flied up and seated itself on Lance's shoulder, gave his ear a playful bite and purred again.
"No, I am just a little bit tired. Do you know anything about this island?"
Shaelzin gave a clicking sound.
"Neither do I, why would Bahamut want us to come here. And I can sense the lady's will is here as well"
Shaelzin chirped again.
"No, I do not think you can sense it. Bahamut's call but not Eilistraee's. Technically you are not one of her followers"
The little dragon looked confused at Lance.
"I do not know either, let's explore this castle, shall we? Perhaps there is someone here who can tell us about this island and whether the ship was crushed by the sea"
Shaelzin purred and looked at Lance's back.
"No, I think I will keep these for a while" Lance said, motioning at his wings. "If anything goes wrong I can just jump down the battlements and soar down"
Shaelzin clicked again.
"Yes I know you can fly but whithout the wings I can not. Let's go on, shall we?"
"Eilistraee and Bahamut, I thank you for delivering me here safely"

[t:2bge6lv7]As you start to explore the battlements you hear a voice behind you,
it speaks in a strange tongue you do not recognize. But if you turn you see a man behind you. He is wearing dress plate , decorated with a strange seal. A guard it seems , he stares at you with a strange expression on his face. Oddly enough, he too is winged. his wings are white and draconic in appearance. On his forehead are a pair of white horns that jut from his brow and back into his white hair, which is pulled back sternly with a leather thong. He is well armed, and as he stares at you he is pulling out a large bastard sword. His stance as well is strange, although he is wearing leather boots, he seems to be standing on the balls of his feet.
