INTRODUCTION
When last we left our sewer dwelling super-heroes,
they'd found a secret smugglers tunnel
that lead beneath the city wall and out to the harbor.
Trusting that their recently captured Sewer Scout
would remain true to her word and turn herself in,
the team planned to venture forward,
hot on the trail of the missing folio.
SCENE 01 - Tunnel's End
- The team proceeds to the end to the end of the tunnel ... stealthy-ish
- OLOTUI lifts the latched lid
- BELLA misty steps to the other side to unlatch the latch
- Makes her way into the 6 door room
- The team scopes out the six doors - all seem to lead into tunnels connecting to a long warehouse
- Move through door 1 to stay on the trail
- MARCHING ORDER
- NESDALYNN
- YESDI
- EKUN
- RIHI
- OLOTUI
- Just as NES peeks her head up to look around, a fight breaks out between 5 of the dock workers, 2 actively fighting, 3 watching.
- OLOTUI disguises himself as the drunk they ran across earlier and appears to goad on the fight ... this works very well and soon all 5 are fighting for their lives.
- The team sneaks out of the warehouse and notices the following
- There are no ships AT the pier
- One ship is moving quickly away from the pier, about 1500 feet out
- It's rapidly becoming enveloped in a cloud of fog
- It's moving faster than the wind in its sails would suggest possible
- The team speaks to a dock boy about what he saw
- The thief handed him the book and told him to bring it to the old man at the end of the pier and his assistant. He did this. The old man took the book and then, with his assistant (not sure if he was male or female or what) boarded the ship and they immediately departed.
- EKUN suggests they talk to the harbormaster to see if they can learn where the ship is going.
- The HARBORMASTER immediately appears (as if by magic (or an amazing coincidence)) and after convincing himself by talking to NESDALYNN that the group is supporting NESDALYNN in her law enforcement role, he fills them in on what he knows.
- The HARBORMASTER has worked these docks for 25 years
- This ship has made sporadic and unpredictable short appearances here throughout that time
- Always the same old man present when this ship visits
- They never stay long
- No one's ever seen the old man's face long enough to provide a description (which seems odd to you since they remember his hair color ... INTEResting ...)
- The ship's "home base" is on an island about 12 hours sail (in good winds) NW of CIMBAR - surrounded by dangerous rocks and perpetual fog
- The team wants to get a ship to follow while the trail is reasonably hot
- Harbormaster provides a ship and a launch and a crew of 4, along with charts and advice
- The Plan
- Take a long rest
- Leave in the morning
- Head to the island
And that's where will pick up in Episode 7 "Gales and Rocks and Fog, O My!"
