MTG Salvation

Boats comes and go from Elexia all the time, be they ferries to and from the Kurrian isles or smaller boats bound for the island of Nadra. Some vessels come from even further, and deposit their travelers in Elexia after what seems an age at sea.

Regardless of how and why they get here, this section of the docks is reserved for passenger vessels, transporting people to and from whatever places they need to go.

"What injustices did I perpetrate in a past life to allow this to happen?" Wondered Colt Wyrmbane silently, as his situation dawned upon him.

Colts ship had wrecked days ago in a storm, and now, impoverished, he spied land. At first his hopes were high, until he realized that this was not his homeland. Indeed, this wasn't even the distant shore he had set sail for. But Colt was desperate, and at risk of dying of exposure if he didn't get shelter soon. He pointed his driftwood towards the dock, and feebly began to paddle.

The paddling did relatively little to help Colt get towards the shore, what may have helped more was the boat the pulled up along side him. A pair of strong arms pulled Colt up out of the water and onto the relatively small but sturdy boat.

Mysterious Arms- Who'd you piss off to end up out here?

Sad post

Colt was somewhat surprised by the suddenly appearing boat, but recovered with aplomb. Apparently boats here can just do that. Better go with it.

"I *Cough* ... I don't know" Wheezed the dehydrated barbarian.

Garr- Well, doesn't matter. We'll get you back to dock anyhow.

As Colt became more aware of his surroundings, he noticed his saviour was a garrish fellow dressed in a rather outlandish manner. Further reflection told him he was on the deck of small fishing boat, being pushed towards shore by the prevailing wind.

Even colt would consider his dress outlandish? He must be really alien or something.

Colt tried to stand on his own, with very mixed success. Partly due to the rocking of the ship, and the wobbliness of his knees. He eventually settled for trying to sit in a corner.

After propping himself in the corner, Colt found himself shivering a little. He then found himself propped on a chair and wrapped in a blanket, the garrish sailor looking him in the eye.

Garr- You alright? Waters are cold this time of year, you drifted off.

Sad post

"You are right. I have drifted far, far from my home. Now aimless, I will continue to drift across the lands."

"Hopefully I'll have colorful adventures at least."

Garr- ... right, hopefully. You gonna be alright there, champ?

Montage of badassitude

Colt stands up, suddenly finding a new source of energy: Hope.

"Yes, I'll be fine. Not only will I be fine, I'll be BETTER than Fine - I'll be AWESOME."

Lightning Strikes in the distance for no apparent reason.

The garrish sailor looked out over the seas when the suspiciously time lightning struck, he frowned a little before wiping his brow.

Garr- That's the spirit! Looks like we narrowly avoided a big storm too!

Tense, Suspenseful

Colt looks around himself, not knowing what he is going to see.

Colt is surprised to discover that he was no longer on the boat but the Elexian docks. Apparently he had passed out somewhere along the way. Regardless he was now ashore.

"I will go to a winery! And if I happen upon any swordsmen there whom I find to be snooty, I will challenge them to a duel!"

**It was at this time that a large carrack was docking in Elexia, a broad ship painted in whites with white sails. Its figurehead was a sun-in-rise made of flawless ivory, the light reflecting from its sharp-tipped rays intensifying the effect of the imagery. A loud horn echoed from its deck as it came to a stop, and a dozen men came barreling out with ropes and planks.**

**Alacritas descended from the ship with a looks of wonder and disdain. He paused briefly on the ramp, and for a moment considered turning back, but by the moment's end he had come to his senses. The man continued towards the Elexian docks.**

Kylar, a little lost, looks around for Lieutenant Rauf Kurr.

Near a rather large wooden vessel with a shepherd carved into it prow stood a yellow scaled saaur. He was dressed in bleached leather armour and wearing the blue cape that was the signature of the Elexian city guard. Given lieutenant's 'Kurr' name, this saaur was likely to be who he was looking for.

"I'm the first one here eh'? Yea I'll sit over here." said Kylar. He walks over and sits on the nearby bench and starts polishing his shield.

Rauf- You are here for the expedition, I take it?

Kylar politely nods his head.

Rauf- You seem capable enough, lets see who else turns up.

Jougo drags Akane to the docks. "Listen, we gotta get something going. The funds have run dry." He lets her go and looks around for the Shepard of Many. Finds it and walks over. "Still need people for checking out that island?" He addresses to the man most likely to be captain.

The captain of the Shepard shrugged and pointed down at the saaurian guard on the docks, stood near a black haired man sat on a bench.

Akane yelped all the way to the docks until Jougo finally let go of her ear. Then she stood up straight as he talked, trying to pay attention despite the pain in her ear. Ow! "Oh, sure thing, Mistah J! We'll make some gold No problem!" Then she stood quietly as he addressed whoever was in charge.

Guessing that meant to go wait on the bench for the trip to commence, Jougo went and sat down next to the guy there. "Hey kid. What's shaking?"
