Sally calls the unit to assemble, "We've been given a special task." She produces a small scroll, sealed with the Good King's wax, "We are to relay this to the Religious City of the Desert. Land of a thousand churches, or so they say."
Mazurek joins those outside the gate, the dragon outfitted very lightly for travel. He's always ready to lend his powers for the sake of any group, really.
Rainer rocks forward and back on the heels of his feet, currently digging in an ear for a little of the Good King's wax of his own. He falls into a loose sembelance of at attentiveness when Sally begins to speak, giving his fingers a quick flick to clear them, before bringing that same hand to give his chin whiskers a thoughtful stroke. "A thousand churches? What would one city ever need with so many. Still, it can't be as boring as that."
Violet bounces up with Bella, the Foreign Camp's contingent to help with this and that and she finally comes to a stop at the back of those picked to guard the caravan and then wriggles her way in closer to get a look at the document with her endless curiosity.
Bella stands around with Violet and those outside the gate but has to wiggle her way through the crowd to keep up with Violet, grabbing the tip of her tail to slow her down. SHe pauses to listen to Sally though, her ears perked forward.
The scroll is rolled up and sealed, for the recepient's eyes only, no doubt. "We set sail by boat. And have no fear, every church is different in a way, or so I hear. While the Creator's word is strong there, other whispers emerge from the cracks to satisfy any itch." She turns and begins marching for the docks, "Let's be off. You have twenty minutes to fetch any personal items you want to bring along."
Says Sally.
Mazurek says nothing during the brief debriefing, choosing to listen as attentively as a large dragon can. The fact that they only have twenty minutes to fetch what things they need is noted and he returns to his home to have a change of attire. Going out to the desert...well...best to dress as light as possible to avoid certain elements. When he returns to the docks he is clad only in a harness-and-loincloth type outfit, some pouches containing small items hanging from some clips within easy reach. Locating the Fox is fairly easy for him, having known her a while.
Rainer gazes quizzically down upon Violet as she intrudes her way between himself and Mazurek, though he pays her little more mind as Sally continues on becoming decidedly more enthused towards the end of her speech. "Ah, the seedy underbelly of civilization. Full of thugs, cutthroats, adventure and intruigue." He leans over to give the lizard a slap on the back, winking as he remarks, "Though hopefully not too much adventure and intruigue, or I might be inclined to stay behind when you all set sail back to Firmament!" Being a lupe of meager possessions, he's got nothing more to show than what he arrived to the briefing with when they reconvene at the docks.
Violet is a desert fox and so she doesn't need a whole lot, looking to her companion to see if she needs to go back for anything before they get going. If needed, they go get stuff and then they're back, if they left.
Bella remains at Violet's side like to kits in a litter. She's good though she doesnt have much to begin with. Stay, go.. either way, they are back in twenty minutes to catch the boat.
Sally is there, at the docks, long before the twenty minutes is up, "Everyone up!" she orders, pointing along the gangway leading onto the boat. A fair sized ship, fit to transport thirty people with ease. There are some others aboard, headed the same way, besides the sailors and captain. "We have rooms towards the back, next to each other."
Mazurek had not responded to the slap on the back other than to use his tail to tickle Rainer after it happened. He wanders aboard the boat and takes a look around, speaking for the first time this trip, "Are we allowed to help with the sailing duties at all, or are we mere passengers?"
Rainer is the first to respond to Mazurek's question with an incredulous, "Are you joking?" He throws up his hands in an exasperated gesture, heading off to check out the cabins before he gets painted with the same initiative as the giant iguana. "You ever even been out sailing before? Heh, I'll wager you'll spend half the trip bent over the rail~"
Bella returns with Violet and hurries to the ship. SHe has a few things with her and once on board, glances around curiously as she's never been on a ship before. "Hey Vi! Come look at this!" She calls out to her vixen friend.
Sally shakes her head, "Civilian ship," she notes, "It's between you and the captain. And don't you be bothering him unduly. Enjoy the trip. I doubt we'll be bothered on the water." She moves off then, to her cabin. As promised, all the cabins are beside one another. One small room to each person it seems.
Violet bounces over to join Bella after stowing her things and follows her around. They're like a couple of little kids, ooohing and ahhing over silly things.
Mazurek chuckles, "I was merely wondering what I could do to help, Rainer." He follows the wolf to the cabins, "Sailing isn't as bad as you might think. Then again, I'm comparing it to flying, which I simply cannot do for very long."
Rainer makes a subtle gesture over his shoulder to Violet and Bella, "Now that's enthusiasm I can get behind. I hope I wasn't quite like that the first time I set foot on a ship, though, that'd be a little embarassing." As they push their way to the back, he calls ahead, "Hey, Sally, you're not going to hide back here the whole trip, I hope!"
Violet grins at Rainer, not at all upset over her childlike behavior. "Why the heck not? If you're going to enjoy something, enjoy it! Boats are cool!"
Bella leans over the railing as she points at something down below but gets distracted when Violet calls back to Rainer. Straightening up, she pats at the bow strung across her back then pats her pockets before taking in a deep breath of fresh air. "I'm ready. Let's row!"
Sally neglected to mention something. Ah well. As the ship prepares for departure, its sails are unfurled, grand and wide, drawing the ship clear of the docks. Despite this, the sailors seem quite eager to prepare for something else, running around animatedly.
Mazurek chuckles, "Don't worry about them showing enthusiasm. Experiencing something for the first time always has that effect on those who don't want to hide their excitement." Being that he has joined the others in the cabins, he doesn't even notice the odd behavior of the crew. In fact, he finds one that can easily accomodate his larger size and settles in, laying on the bunk with hands clasped behind his head.
Rainer can't help laughing at Violet's enthusiasm. "You've got the right of it." he sighs with a shake of his head, reminding himself that he's Not That Old Yet. He only visits his cabin long enough to give it a looking over and to drop off his weapons, leaving them atop his bed before he goes wandering the ship, ending up back on deck again, clasping the rail and breathing deep as the breeze rustles through his fur.
Violet grins at Rainer and then goes back to giggling and exploring everything with Bella. No weapons and armor stowed here, though. They're both armed and armored, like they're used to wearing them around.
Bella roams slowly around the boat, still trying to get her sealegs, as it were and she holds onto the railing with each dip and raise of the boat. She glances to Violet with a concerned look. "This could be bad."
