Kilsa stand at the docks near a small ship and a Pig captain, The two are exchange blows and laughing as the group approaches, "You fat badger, I swear I would have nominated my own snot as a noble before I expected you to make it." Kilsa laughed and punched the old heavy clan pig into the dirt. "Alright lass enough civil talk, I'll boat these folks for free since. " Kilsa turn to the crowd, "Alright we have a bit of an issue, The town of NearHave is pretty far north, I'll be sending you by boat to enter the town and clear out whatever ghost or creature has made the abandoned place a home. I want colateral damage to a minimum since we plan to move folk into the old houses with a little patchwork and rebuilding. Arimia, You'll be leading this operation with the exception of Mazurek here since I have no authority over him but I trust him with my life and know you can as well."
Selena takes a short bow. "I'll keep my impact to a minimum unless there's no other option." she grins. "Sounds simple enough, though. Do you have anything else you can tell us about this place?"
Arimia gives a small nod of her head, and ushers her golem onto the boat, though the raccoon stays on the shore for the moment. "How long of a journey is it? An' we'll try to keep from tearin' the town apart. But if the place is home to a bone dragon nest or somethin' I make no guarantee." She gives a shrug of her shoulders, looking at the others coming along.
Kiyasai stays behind Arimia, which makes her look a bit comic as she clutches the handle of her hammer as tightly as she can. "No, won't do anything to cause collateral damage, I promise. Won't let you down!" She seems nervous and eager at the same time.
The large dragon crosses his arms and cocks his head a bit, "She will be leading this operation with the exception of myself? What is that supposed to mean?" Maz looks more confused than anything with the choice of wording, "Also, just how far north are we talking here?" He steps up to Kiyasai and actually brushes her with his tail, "You fought admirably on the ship the other day, by the way."
Kilsa looks at Mazurek, "You are a lightbringer and thus not under my direct authority, The rest here are Ironsoul Defenders who are employed by me. I would like you to follow order but I have to put faith into you doing the right thing." She smiled and answered the rest of the question, "The trip should be only three to four hours by this little boat." The Pig next to her grunted before giving her a light jab in the arm, "Eric here will be leading running the ship, This porker is as good a Captain as he is ugly." She joked but then looked very serious, "This is not going to be an easy mission, no scouts sent there have returned, I decided that a little tougher folk were needed."
Selena nods, and turns to board the ship. "I didn't expect a cakewalk, Lady Ironsoul." she smiles. "But I prefer to ask nonetheless. Well then... What are we waiting for?"
Arimia flicks her ears, listening to the badgers words. Once Kilsa is done talking she nods her head and starts walking toward the boat, arching her body in a stretch. "So send the golem in first, got it." She boards the boat then moves to lean over the side, saying to Selena, "Presumably for the rest of you to get onto the boat!" She calls out to Kilsa next, "We'll be back when the town is cleared out, Miss Ironsoul."
Kiyasai blushes rather violently and turns around sharply, bumping into him and mewling. "T-thank you for the complement, sir. You were pretty good too!" She returns her attention to Kilsa. "No scouts huh? Are we keeping a lookout for any of them?" She gets onto the boat and wobbles a little, but gets her bearings.
A nod from the dragon to the Badger, "Your entourage is growing rapidly, Lady Ironsoul. As far as me being the only one present not of your House in any way, we have known one another far longer than I have been affiliated with Solicious or the Lightbringers." He is rather open with his friendship toward the badger, giving her a tight hug before boarding the ship.
Kilsa smile at Mazurek as the Ship starts to Move, "If you find a scout help them back but I don't think it likely." The Badger says as the ship is moving in full motion. The Captain smiles at everyone, "The lower deck have food and beds though the food aint the best and beds are hard as a frozen Fisk. Now you don't need to do much but sit back, relax and let the Flying Bacon do its thing." He chucked patting the side of the ship.
Selena chuckles at the ship's name, and waves to Kilsa as the ship departs, turning to Arimia. "Yeah, that seemed to be it." She chuckles. "What do you reckon the chances of us finding any of the scouts alive is? And possessed or reanimated don't count."
Arimia glances toward the pig as he speaks, then moves to sit down on the deck. "I'm fine up here," she says, as she settle somewhere she hopes will be out of the way and starts to go through her things, making sure everything is in order and preparing anything that needs to be prepared. At Selena's words she flicks her ears slightly and gives a small shake of her head. "Depends on what exactly happened there. But I'm thinkin' we won't find any. An' if any survived, they'll have ran an' hid. So findin' them would be more difficult."
Kiyasai sits down on the ship and tries to get a hold of her seasickness, using the fresh air on the deck to try to keep herself from making a mess of her polished armor.
Mazurek does not remain idle on board the ship during the trip. He had noted the effects on Kiyasai with regard to seasickness and moved right over to join her, resting hands on her shoulders, "Once you have been on board boats a few times you will begin to get used to how they move. I had the honor of being one of the first to experience the travel over the air on a flying ship. It was almost as though we weren't moving at all."
Eric Chuckles at Kiyasai, "Ahh I've met many that don't have there sea legs yet. Big fella you might want to hold on to her for the next bit." Four pigs with Clever folk clan seals began to preform complex math on each corner of the shift. "Alright everyone hold on to something!" The captain says as his crew rushes down into the lower decks, "Hit it!" The front two Pigs begin preforming math that causes circles to appear on the sides of the ship that suck in water while the back two pigs cause the ship to rocket forward as if caught in a water fall. The four pigs seem unaffected while the captain is gripping to side for dear life. "Wooooooohoooooo!" The Pig screams over the rushing water.
Selena nods in agreement with Arimia then looks over to Kiyasai. "I suppose we should take a look for seasickness-surpressants." she grins, before adding in a more serious tone; "Since it seems like we're going to be on the sea a lot." She sighs, though her eyes light up a little at Mazurek's mention of an airship. Choosing not to take any more time, she turns her attention to the ship and area around it. After all, it's pretty boring to just sit around doing nothing - that is, until the ship jets forwards, causing Selena to slide back a little before she regains her balance.
Arimia continues to prepare her gear, though she looks up as the pigs start performing their mathmagic. She shifts slightly to brace herself against her golem, gathering up any loose bits of gear before the boat shoots forward. She returns her attention to her gear and starts to fiddle with a wrist mounted crossbow, making sure it's in working order before strapping it on. As she does this she calls out, loud enough to hear, "When I was comin' to Firmament from Cliffside, the caravan I was with, gaurding, traveled in a boat like this on a river part of the way! You'll get used to it quick enough!"
