It is cool and breezy by Serenfall lake, and the water is blue and calm. Standing by the shore, conspicuous in the absence of his employer, is a tall, tending toward plump, Grizzly bear. "Over here!" he calls, seeing being making their way around the lake, "Are you the Freeswords here for Mister Widestripe's job?"
A small cat makes his way over to the bear, having to cover a small distance that seperates the two of them. He is wearing a simple white robe with golden thread embroidery that is depicting a dying tree with it's leaves fall off, in his right hand is held a staff that is reminiscent of a shepards crook. "Greetings, my good man. Indeed I am. The message was a bit vague on what Amar needed. I assume you got more information on what is needed?"
Lucca clunks along in her ornate, if ill-fitting, dark steel armour. She follows Kastovin closely as she's still not familiar with the area. Lucca is carrying a large steel shield and having a large flail on her waist. The young bear seems excited to be doing a job, especially for a friend. "Oh hi Gavin!". Feeling her excitement isn't to professional she puts on a more professional look, or at least tries to.
The grizzly bear seems relieved that he at least recognizes the Freeswords who answered the ad. "Hello, Mister Kastovin, Miss Lucca," he says, nodding to each of them, "Mister Widestripe is very sorry that he could not be here. He has a prior engagement." The words sound a little foreign to Gavin's tongue, like something long rehearsed. "We're supposed to be getting some special shell fish for him," he explains, leading the way to the water's edge. The lake here is very clear and drops away from the shore steeply. In the depths, beds of some kind of mollusk are visible. "Some of them have pearls inside," Gavin explains, "Most of 'em aren't worth much, but some of them are special, so Mister Widestripe wants us to gather as many as we can. Problem is, there are some nasty fish down there too. You guys up to it?"
Kastovin eyes the water, up to Gavin and then to Lucca. "I can surely try. My thick coat absorbs a lot of water, so I may sink like a brick. I knew I've been meaning to get a hair cut..." He strips off his robe be undoing the gold rope that ties it together. His robe falls to the ground in a heavy thud, showing that under it he is wearing some rather loose fitting cotton pants and a thick leather chest plate. He does not wear anything else up top. He rummages though his robe and pulls out a small rod of some sort that's tipped with a crystal, he tucks it into the back of his pants. "There we go..." He smiles at Gavin "I think I am set."
Lucca seems annoyed that she'll have to lose the armour and starts taking it off carefully after leaving a large peice of cloth on the ground to lay it on. "I can swim, I also fairly sure that fish will be more afraid of bear than bear of fish." She is wearing some basic navy coloured clothing underneath, putting both the shield and weapon down to, making a few fists and stretching her arms.
"Wait for me! Wait for meeeeeee!" A small salamander runs up to the group, panting tiredly. Zuri felt like he had sprinted all the way from Firmament! Too many cream cakes and not enough physical exercise, most likely. The little guy stops next to Lucca and Kast, slumping down as he catches his breath. He shakes his head, straightens up again, and puts on his brightest smile. "Howdy folks! What are we stabbing today?" He looks at Lucca, who is currently putting his weapons down. "We are.. not stabbing things today. Huh.."
Gavin explains the mission once more for Zuri's benefit. "Just keep your eyes open," he advises Lucca, "There are all kinds of things down there, and Rime Lamprey aren't scared of beings. Ever since that Temple rose up out of the lake, you never know exactly what might be in the deep water." The grizzly steps back from the water. "I don't really swim well," he admits, "So I'll keep a watch out from the shore. We just need a couple of the unusual pearls, so as soon as we have those, I got your pay."
Kastovin pats Zuri on the back with a big grin "There, there! Get your breath, you will need it." For all of his bravado, there is an unmistakible gleam of fear in his eyes whenever he looks over to the lake, but he looks back to Lucca with a gleam of hope! "If I start to sink and struggle, someone try pulling me up, please." He walks to the waters edge, dipping a toe in and shivering "Gah! It's cold!"
Lucca notices Kastovin's concern "Uh, why not you help keep eyes on water with Gavin at first, would rather you not put self in danger if it is unneeded." she looks over Zuri "Ah, you seem well suit for this diving, you catch breath and we swim together!" she moves closer to the waters edge, waiting for Zuri to get ready and will enter when he does.
Zuri nodnodnods at all the words being spoken, smiling brightly as Gavin explains this is going to be a swim. "Woo, swimming! I love that. I swear, those water folk guys back when I did my test had -no- idea what they were on about. I was born to swim!" He smiles brightly at Kast. "Don't worry, you'll be fine!" The small 'mander takes off his armor and shrugs out of the undertunic. "Okay, I'm ready!" He walks up to Lucca and nods.
Gavin takes up a spot on the shore and picks up a crossbow in one hand and a fine, mesh net in the other. "You can just drop pearls into this as you come up," he says, "Good luck!"
Kastovin waves a hand at Lucca "And let you guys have all the fun? As if!" And with this, he takes some steps back and does a dead sprint for the water, jumping and doing a cannonball into it. He does not come back up for a few seconds, but once he does come back up he starts to cough slightly "phew... It's not so bad once you get in here!" He calls to the other two still at the waters edge.
Lucca chuckles "If I do that, there be no water left." she slowly wades in then starts swimming when deep enough "I go down for a look." She takes a deep breath and submerges in search for clams, not too concerned about any threats as she's sure she can shrug it off.
Zuri grins wide on seeing Kastovin dive in. "Last one in is a-" He pauses, watching Lucca enter the water. "-uh.. last one in is the king of Sweetwater!" He dives in, plunging and emerging after a few seconds, a few yards away. He looks around, looks at himself, looks around again, pouts. "Well, that didn't work, still not the king of Sweetwater. Ah well." He giggles and dives in after Lucca.
The water of Serenefall lake, while it does not grant kingship or hippo-ness, is cold and very clear. Sunlight filters down to the lakebed nearly thirty feet down where the clam beds are, and there is certainly no shortage of the dinner plate sized mollusks down there.
