Role-Play The Grand Expedition

[Meliva]

The dragon chuckles

All sorts. Lizard like dogs that hunt in packs, worm like creatures that burrow into other creatures and eat them from the inside, skinless giants with various deformities. It would take a while to list them all honestly.

Vune nods

Yeah, there's a good reason why we just abandoned this place. We figured it would take way too much effort to wipe them all out-so we decided to just leave and hope they did the job for us. It isn't working out too well though. We made sure that they can't spread elsewhere though. And the worst of them are locked up in sealed buildings.

[Jack Teach]

Jack looks around and sighs

Why are we even on this island? If I could simply get a good description of each creature, we could all go home. We've covered a lot of ground, we've sailed almost everywhere, so our maps should be accurate. We can wager where most reefs are.

[Meliva]

Vune shrugs

You all can go home if you wish. I need to go and pay this mage a visit, but I can do that alone. After that it's back to my search. But I can't give you accurate details on everything on this island, I havn't been here for a long time. Honestly, this island is a place that people shouldn't come to anyway, so you can just put on your map, deadly island filled with deadly beasts and be done with it. The only other way to get details on the beasts here is to either find them yourself or ask Kortar to describe them all-and he would probably charge for that.

Kortar nods

I definitely would.

Vune starts walking toward the mountain the mage is living in and shouts to Jack

I need to go and pay this fellow a visit-if you want to get details on all the creatures here feel free to hunt them or pay Kortar for it. Or just mark this map as a bad place and leave now.

Vune teleports away, while Kortar looks to Jack waiting for a response.

[Jack Teach]

Jack looks to kortar

How much would I have to pay you?

[Meliva]

Kortar thinks for a moment

5 million gold. Or valuable treasures and trinkets worth about the same, I especially like magic items.

Zephyra searches her robes and tosses the magic necklace and whistle she took from Burt's body, along with some stuff she took from the Dag witch doctors. Kortar examines it and looks back to Jack

That's worth about half what i want. I want more.

Brian tosses his old shield, and some other items he took from the forge ages ago. Kortar nods and scoops it all up, and hands them a book.

I am satisfied with these items. That book has details of the beasts here, with the exception of the one's sealed away. I have not seen them, so i do not know of them. Our deal is concluded, unless you wish to trade more.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods and smiles

Thank you.

he looks to his friends, smiling

You didn't have to do that.

[Meliva]

Zephyra shrugs

That stuff was just magic stuff I looted off dead bodies-nothing I will miss.

Brian nods

Yeah, its not like I can use 2 shields at once, the other weapons I just took since it was free. I think we are done here, im eager to be back home honestly, so unless there's something else left to do, I vote we head home.

Carl thinks for a moment before turning to Jack

You know, Vune did say that if we offered Kortar a good sum of treasure he would fight for us, if we want to avoid fighting the Dag on the way back, maybe we can hire him to clear the path. We can make it back without him though, so its up to you.

[Jack Teach]

Jack shakes his head

Nay, we have a bunch of frigates, heavy, powerful, well-crewed frigates. Thanks.

Jack and the men walk off to their respective ships.

[Meliva]

Once all are back on their respective ships, they all wait for the order to set sail from Jack. Over at the mountain, a large explosion happens, completely obliterating it. A moment later Vune teleports back onto the ship near Jack laughing. She looks to him and Zephyra and points at the mountain.

That bloody idiot mage, I tricked him into blowing himself and the entire mountain up. I still can't believe he fell for it. That's what he gets though-bloody fool was trying to do some completely insane things. Regardless, he won't be a problem anymore. But remind me to tell you about that story later sweetie, its hilarious, I need to write that down. But we all got what we wanted. Let's head back. Zephyra, speed things up with a bit of wind magic.

Zephyra stands ready to speed everyone back home when Jack is ready.

[Jack Teach]

Jack ascends to the quarterdeck

Man the capstan! Loose the headsails! Hands Aloft to loose the topsails! Mr. Boyle, signal all ships to sail.

The ships begin sailing
