It is dark on the docks. The lights somehow seem dimmer than usual in the black of the new moon. The Vengeance waits in its dock, the waves lapping gently against its sides. The only sounds are the creaking of ships, the splashing waves of the bay and the occasional call or whistle from ship guards on duty.
Aloysius stood near one of the darkened alleyways with a nonchalant, almost bored expression on his face, "So it seems that we found our mark, old friend. I dare say that we have not gathered enough evidence to facilitate his capture, but his cabin must hold enough condemning material. What do you think, shall we strike now or not? The ship might not hold Esten's siblings, but think of the tale we can tell once we return to the Adventurer's guild back in the home land."
The small elephant follows up alongside his friend, looking up at Aloysius and nodding. "Mm-hm." He taps his staff lightly on the ground as he thinks. "I think we should strike now. We'll interrupt a great deal of evil if we stop him." He smirks. "And yes, it will make quite the tale won't it?"
"There's enough evidence to detain," Cassidy says, folding her arms as she eyes the ship from the docks. "Maybe not to arrest, but to detain. And that'll be more than enough to delay things til you can find whatever evidence you intend to. With implications in the warehouse incident, I could bring him in for questioning."
The ship is quiet. There are four lanters moving about on deck as sailors patrol, and two guards stand ready at the gangplank, both large and well armed by the look of things. All that remains is to decide on a course of action.
The young squirrel being turns around and nods at Cassidy, "If you say so, thought I never caught your name, miss." he says in his distinct Andrussian trill before looking back at the ship, "Also any plans on how to proceed?" he asks his two companions.
The elephant considers this for a moment. "The sneaky approach may be problematic. We'll have to secure the ship anyway, and if we get discovered we'll be surrounded. But we can't risk Mister O tossing or burning any incriminating evidence if he suspects he might be on the losing side here." he nibbles on his lip briefly as he looks up at the night sky.
"Captain Solacious," The Fennec replies, adjusting her hat. "I only request that you try not to kill anyone. At least, none but the captain. They are not acting within their own wills, and I don't want to see them die for it. I leave the plan to you. Stealth or direct. Failing all else, I can just demand for his surrender and revoke permission to leave the docks."
The squirrel being quirks his brows, "For shame captain. Suggesting that we would kill anyone unnecessarily." he says before looking around again, "Well...we could possibly jump jump into the sea and sneak from the back of the ship, the captain's cabin might be there." he remarks as he taps his chin, "Or I could do it myself and then create a distraction up there to let you two get on the ship."
"Also define not being able to control your will? Is the captain a divine mage?"
The elephant being nods. "I agree. Let's go and sneak 'round the back if we can. We might be able to clamber up onto the cabin and secure evidence before it gets destroyed. Or even better, find the guy and face him off without the rest of his cronies around."
"I would prefer stealth, yes," The foxmage agrees, looking over the other two. "Less so swimming, but all the same. Shall we?" She asks, gesturing back down the docks towards the rear of the ship. "Don't want to wait until dawn, after all."
There are no other beings around this part of the docks. It makes the night seem even darker. There will be no better time to act.
The squirrel being nods at the two other beings, "Well then, off we go." he simply says before holding onto his hat and lowering himself quietly into the water, "Hmmm, not my choice for a hearth fire." he adds before he begins swimming towards the ship. On the way he also casts a simple air maths spell to keep his hat on, it would be a shame if he lost his style during a fight!
The elephant raises his staff off the ground and gestures a small incantation, a little blessing of divine math to protect from the elements. That water looks mighty cold, after all... After the mathemagical phrase does it's job he steps towards the water and lowers himself down before starting his swim across. No need to make a noise by diving in carelessly.
Preferring not to swim, Cassidy instead takes to the air, opting to fly to the back of the ship, instead, though she makes no less effort to remain quiet, and tries to remain below the edge of the ship, so as to avoid any line of sight.
The water is cold, but certainly bearable, especially with a touch of Jugu's magic. All three beings manage to reach the rear part of the ship without incident or undue noise, though Cassidy does ellicit a bit of a clatter as she catches hold of the wood of the ship. It does not seem to provoke any outcry, however. Above the group, the Captain's state room leans out over the water, lamps lit within, and several shutter open to catch the cool night breeze.
The squirrel being begins his long climb using his daggers before finally reaching the top. There he spends a minute to wait for the others and wiggle his gain tail to dry it up a bit. "Well looks like the captain is there. You also did not tell me what do you mean by them fighting against their own will, if so how, and is there a way to stop it?" he tells Cassidy once she rejoins them.
Ever the elphant of few words, Jugu makes his climb the old fashioned way using any available hand holds to hoist himself up as carefully as he can. He stays behind his squirrely companion, more than happy to let him be the first to barge into the ship's sterncastle.
"I've reason to believe the captain is an Old One caller. And that he exerts influence over others, which is my main reason for wanting to stop him. I do not want him to leave port with a... Kidnapped crew, so to speak," she says quietly. "Stopping him should stop it."
On deck, things are still quiet. It looks like the trio has not been noticed yet. But that probably won't last if they don't move quickly. Beings carrying lanterns high are approaching from both directions.
The squirrel being nods his head at Cassidy and eyes the lanterns moving towards them, "Well, it appears that we have an unholy cultist to catch." he says before he quickly and as quietly as possibly rushes towards the rails of the upper deck before getting on them and jumping down towards the deck below, making an effort to not alert the two beings climbing the stairs, and hoping that if he does fall on someone one again, it wouldn't be that loud.
The elephant slinks onto the deck and clambers past the rails, standing in the shadow of his taller companion as he looks around. He readies his staff again as Aloysius bolts off, the pachyderm pausing for a moment before bolting after him. He leaps after his friend does, hoping for a soft landing of his own.
