Kooz Namfooz, with two o's in each and yes, they rhyme.


Oh, and Mister, um, 'Copperhead,' is it?  Where were you planning on going, and I'll met you there!


Casts invisibility when Copperhead answers.

[Captain Obvious]

[ic]"Perhaps I will join you later. For now, I have more important things to attend to," and he return to whittling the small chunk of wood he has.[/ic]

[Bill Volk]

He points at the dockside inn from which he just emerged, the "Elf and Lobster."

[ic]That's as good a place as any - Huh?[/ic]
he says as the gnome disappears.

He feels a little uneasy, and he keeps his hand on his coin purse as he takes a step toward the ship.

[ic]um, or perhaps we should just get acquainted once we're aboard. We don't want her to leave without us tomorrow, and there's no telling what might, er, happen between now and then.[/ic]

[Captain Obvious]

[ic]From where he is sitting near the bow, Darien calls out, "If you wish to depart for a short while, I will see to it that they do not leave without you. Go enjoy yourself, but try and be back promptly."[/ic]

[Bill Volk]

[ic]All right. One round then, to show good faith. Let no one say that the Copperhead is stingy![/ic]

Owen thanks Darien and heads back toward the inn and buys a drink for any who come with him. He keeps a metaphorical eye out for any invisible larcenous gnomes.

[Gnome Ninja]

"Don't worry about me, mate, I'm just keeping this way for...business reasons.  Plus it scares the nine hells out of people like you,"
Kooz says with an invisible smile to Copperhead, "Elf and Lobster, then."

When they reach the inn, Kooz dispels the invisibility effect next to Copperhead, "So you go by Copperhead, then.  Might I query as to why?"

[Bill Volk]

[ic]Heh heh, of course you can!
I... admire the copper dragon, but I go by a title because I promised myself and my former teacher that bards everywhere would sing of me one day. A title catches the imagination and stays in the memory longer than just a name, don't you think?[/ic]

[Gnome Ninja]

Hm. So you're a warrior of sorts? And what about you Brilich? By the bow, I'd guess some sort of archer... why are you all so eager to leave?

[Ravenspath]

Brilich, shrugging his shoulder, pauses for a moment before giving his answer.

[ic]You are correct I am an archer. I don't know that I 'eager' to leave per se. But rather I am looking for something new to experience. I have spent decades in the forest. And I am sure that I will return to the green glades. But it is time for me to go beyond the woods and see what else lies ahead.  And what about you?[/ic]

[Captain Obvious]

[ooc]Do we wanna just skip past some more chatting time, and jump ahead to  hte boat leaving? people seem to have worn out their discussions.[/ooc]

[Bill Volk]

[ooc]Sure.[/ooc]

Afterward, Owen takes his place on the ship and begins to survey the "competition."

 [ooc]I've still got Presence up. I don't go anywhere that's obviously off-limits, just wherever there are other passengers.[/ooc]

[Ravenspath]

[ooc]that is perfectly fine with me also[/ooc]

[Piphtrip]

[ooc]Ok then, skipping ahead[/ooc]

The  Phoenix Royal begins to sail out of the harbor. The other passengers are wildly varied in their appearance, running from simple peasants in farmers garb to heavily armored warriors to mages in thick flowing robes, to the flamboyant costume of bards. Some of them are looking over the bow of the ship at the expanse of ocean in front of them, others are chatting with each other on the deck. A few are simply walking around the boat. The sailors themselves are busy setting the sails and rigging. The halfling from before stands at the base of the mast, directing them.

[Gnome Ninja]

[ooc]Sorry, I haven't posted in a while.  My DSL was down.[/ooc]

[Bill Volk]

Owen walks around on deck, conversing with the various passengers. He makes a particular effort to make friends with some of the bards on board.
