"That is what I saw." Talin replies, "But now that I think about it, my first reaction may not have been correct. I thought he was unafraid then realized that the headmasters could not handle the snakes and became fearful, but as I think about it the more I think he saw others being fearful and changed his demeanor to match. He did show surprise, but perhaps because he new such would be expected and had not thought to also act fearful. Perhaps he doesn't know the Prince's advisors and thought they would show more backbone."

The warrior nodded, "Makes sense. If he knew it was coming and then realized that he stood out by not being afraid. If he is the cause, we have a very big problem that he is safely guarded on a floating fortress. One would think though that the mages here could combat this magic."

"I suspect that, whoever or whatever he is, he is very confident that he is better than the wizards and masters here in some way. I don't know when he joined the ship, but he only took over the role of the Prince recently and the crew and 'his' advisors haven't noticed anything wrong yet. So did he take over because they were coming here or was the timing coincidental and he was going to do it anywhere he could get away from their power base to have time to dig in."

Talin pauses for a moment.

"I should share one more thing with you. While I was in town, I was able to track down a group of, let's call them opportunistically interested parties, who may have made a foray onto the ship while the crew were at the party. If they got in and out before it went to heck and I can track them down, I might be able to get some insight into what's going on aboard."

"Andariel went off to see the prince on her own." Vethalia says looking at the others. "There is definitely something off about him."

"There’s something in the archives too." Kasandra says with a shudder, "I can’t go back down there though. It’s too small and tight." She blinks, "I need to get up high though, in case I need to drop in and save her."

"What kind of something in the archives and how would we find it. We've got some smaller options. As for getting high up, I'm pretty good at that and pretty good at getting into things if needed."

"And I can get you up high if you don't mind a short flight and can't do so under your own steam."

"It’s a void knight." Kasandra says, "Or at least Andariel thinks it is. It’s in s secret compartment in the wall."

"We should probably worry about that after we make sure she’s alright." Vethalia says looking at the others, "Unless you think it could be useful that is."

"Is that a threat or is it a potential weapon against whoever we're dealing with? If it's not a threat, maybe we wait until we have some more information and we move towards the flagship now and we can protect your friend and do recon, too."

While you are discussing matters among yourself, you see the Syndicate flagship rise 5 meters above the dock. There is no way that the ship can actually leave the bubble that the wizards have placed on the monastery, but if they raise much more, they would come into contact with the barrier.
One thing is for sure: Getting on and off the ship has all of a sudden gotten much harder.

A group of 3 mages are patrolling the grounds and suggests that you retire to your quarters for the night.

"One of our witches is on the prince’s ship." Vethalia says to the mages.

"Sorceress." Kasandra says correcting Vethalia.

"Sorceresses." Vethalia says correcting herself. "She was invited aboard by the prince and now he’s moved the ship so she can’t get off."

"I can fly some of us up there, one at a time. It'll take some of my energy, but a few of us..."

Away from the patrolling mages, Talin adds in.

"I can fly myself. I can also move through the shadows though that might be riskier than usual under the circumstances. Might save that for a quick escape."

From the back of the flagship, through the large windows, you see two orange-yellow flashes.
Something is going on up there.

"Waiting just stopped being an option. If only Guesclinbert and I can get up there on our own, I'll fly up to that middeck and find a rope I can throw down. I might be able to carry Vethalia, but my wings aren't terribly strong so I wouldn't count on it."

Talin will wait a moment for answers and see if Vethalia wants him to try and carry her before flying up to the exposed deck in the middle of the ship.

OOC:

I'm going off the picture we have of the flagship where it looks like there's an open deck amidships.

OOC:

I can carry another person (at a time) for 1 stress each. Also, before I forget again, I can roll my Prayer dice

Rolls

Prayer Dice - (3d4)

(242) = 8

Vethalia winks at Talin, "I think I can manage."

She pulls a card out of her jacket and gives it a practiced flick and a swirl of blue sparks materialize from the face of the card. As she casts it on the ground a swirling blue portal materializes. A moment later on the deck of the ship an orange portal appears.

OOC:

Just to confirm.
Vethalia teleports onto the open deck of the air ship
Talin - Flies up
Guesclinbert - Flies up and carries Zandor
Falka...valdattaMadun have been offline the last 18 days, so he will not be part of the boarding of the Stormspire Syndicate's soviren flagship

Did I get it right? Public

YES!

No!

Ehm... I'm having second thoughts and would like to discuss this in-game.

Vethalia opens her portal and steps out on the deck of the Stormspire Syndicate's flagship. It's an opulent ship, with polished brass and expensive wood panelling all around.
What?! Gasps a female mage in a white hat

You again?! Bellows the sergernt you met earligere.

At the same time Talin lands on the open deck and Guesclibert drops off Zandor on the other side of the ship

Intruder! yells one of the soldiers and the sailors on deck runs for cover.
The archers turn their heavy crossbows / small balistas at you, the soldiers draw steel and the mage is gathering power.

OOC:

Color coding on the battle map bars: red = hitpoints, blue = stress, green= number of members in the horde
Blue names in my posts: PC, green names = NPC, red names = adversaries

OOC:

Players can make their actions until you roll with fear, then it's the adversary's (my) turn

[ +- ] Fear counter is 6

"Let's not fight! Something's very wrong here and it's coming from your ship. I think the Prince is not your Prince and is the cause of all this!"

Talin directs his words to the Mage, since the Sergeant has heard his argument and already decided not to listen.

OOC:

make presence roll to convince the mage, that your instructions on their ship is warranted.

Real world comparison; you have broke into a foreign embassy to tell the staff that something is wrong with the ambassador
