Role-Play The Grand Expedition

[Jack Teach]

jack looks again

Some young men, natives, can't tell if they're male or female...they're on my ship...they're carrying off some of the barrels...the rum! They're carrying off some of the rum!

[Meliva]

Vune sighs and goes over and looks into it. Seems like some young troublemakers wanting alchohol. She quickly grabs the crystal and shifts the focus to Lady terra as she's flying around the mountain. She speaks into the crystal

Hey, some youngsters are taking rum from our ships.

Terra looks confused for a moment then very angry as she looks down and dives to the young men, as some guards come, put the rum back and start beating the ever living hell out of them, while dragging them to the stocks. Terra berating them the whole way there. Vune turns the crystal off, and opens up the last barrier. She calls to Jack

You should probably have men guarding your ships. How the hell did those youngsters get that far? Regardless the next floor is the last. Then we can leave.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

They were, they must have snuck through the great cabin.

[Meliva]

The final floor is a beautiful bedroom, with a large fluffy bed, and a large bathroom nearby. A window nearby gives a beautiful view of the sunset, and dozens of paintings depict Emilia and Vune. Along with Baby portraits of Emilia's daughters. Vune looks incredibly sad seeing these portraits, as she picks up a book near the nightstand, examines it and pockets it. She say's somewhat sadly

I got what i wanted. I'd rather not linger in this room for very long. And i definately would prefer none of you snoop through it either. Let's go.

She turns and begins walking back out, Zephyra, Brian and Carl following.

[Jack Teach]

Jack and the priest walk out.

[Meliva]

The group leave the lair, as Vune seals it back up. Lady Terra is nearby, waiting as she bows to Vune and nods to Jack

The young men who tried to sneak rum have been punished. They were given a severe beating, put into the stocks and have had all privileges revoked. One is also being exiled-he has broken far too many rules of late, and is the one who rallied the others into trying to sneak rum. If you wish to take the young man you may. If not, we plan to just put him on a raft, with some food and water and ship him off. The choice is yours.

The woman flies away as Vune begins walking toward the docks. Zeph looks to Jack and asks

You ready to leave? Or check things out some more. I imagine your missing rum about now, and until we leave you can't drink any here.

[Jack Teach]

Jack thinks for a minute.

I think Michael here needs to make some scientific observations, but I'm ready to go to the ship. Think I'll take that young man as well, If he looks strong enough. We'll teach him seafaring.

[Meliva]

The woman nods and has a guard the bring the young man here. He has a very large X on his forehead, and is currently gagged and tied up. He's fairly big. She points to him

That is the man. Burt was his name I believe. The X is branded on him with magic-Once he leaves it will activate fully-so that if he ever sets foot inside the island again, he will die instantly. We will have him dumped on your ship-you can untie and ungag him there-we had to do so as he wouldn't stop screaming profanities. I also recommend you keep an eye on him. He has caused us a lot of trouble.

As for scientific discoveries-we have a library filled with most of what is on this island and what we know. He could go there to study. Unless you have further need of me, I will be going now.

The guards drag burt towards the docks, prepared to toss him onto the ship. Zephyra, Brian and Carl go to the ship as well.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods and says:

Sounds like he'll make a great sailor.

Jack walks back to his ship and Michael goes to the library.

[Meliva]

The library has beautiful marble floors, and wooden chairs and tables. They have a large variety of books, all organized neatly. A few large warrior statues line the entrance. Zeph and Vune relax on the ship, as Vune begins reading the book she took looking strangely worried, as she mutters silently to herself.
