Back Story...“Listen ‘ere, mate. If we can’t find us a proper group t’ ‘andle this lil dilemma o’ ours, we might as well be readyin’ our nooses once the cap’n finds out what ‘e lost. Bloody bastard will ‘ave us ‘anging over the gallows by t’morrow’s light if ‘e finds out.”


Alecfort stared blankly at the pale grey horizon outside the tavern as he listened to the older Elezen sitting across from him. He seemed to be focused on the ominous dark pillows rolling across the gloomy sky in the distance.


“Oy!” Javeant cawed across the table, slamming a fist down to rattle the empty plates and glass placed before him in an attempt to catch the attention of the younger Duskwight, “You listenin’?”  From his peripheral vision, he could see a young couple at the other table giving him perplexed stares. He quickly turned to face them, “And just what in th’ seven ‘ells are you gawkin’ at? Piss off with those stares lest I pluck each o’ yer eyes out!”


As Javeant turned back to him after flipping the bird at the now leaving couple, Alecfort sighed. “How can I ignore you when you’ve a cry more shrill than a dying aldgoat?”, he returned his focus to his compatriot. “And are you trying to get us kicked out of the Drowning Wench once again? You know Baderon doesn’t take too kindly to you harassing his patrons.”

“That old dog? ‘e can sod off a dock for all I care.” Javeant smirked as he leaned back in his chair, both hands now resting on top of his head as his feet crossed to rest on the tabletop.


As if on cue, a challenging voice boomed from behind the cocksure Elezen,“Tha’ so, lad?”

A pale expression washed upon Javeant’s face as Alecfort shrugged as if to say “I told you.”

Baderon towered behind the seadog, one hand on the spine of the chair and the other on the table by Javeant’s feet. He smirked as the man sitting down made eye contact with him, “Feet off me table, scrag.” With that, the Hyur pulled back on the chair while throwing Javeant’s feet off the the table, causing the Elezen to fall back as Baderon let go of foot and chair.


CRASH


“B-B-Baderon! Didn’t know ye returned!” Javeant exclaimed as he stumbled on his way up from the ground, picking up and righting the chair in the process.

Offering another sigh, Alecfort nodded to Baderon. “Excuse the idiot. We’ve been a bit panicked all morning. Perhaps him more so than I.”

“What’s eatin’ ye’ lad? Don’t tell me ye’ve gone and lost another one o’ yer capn’s precious cargo now, ‘ave ye?”

“Well yes, but it’s a bit different this time around. Me and this lout were returning from Aleport by boat with a shipment of supplies meant to be taken to Vesper Bay come the morrow. It would seem the Spinner and the Navigator had different plans however...” Alecfort looked to Javeant with a look of contempt.

“Oy! Don’t be lookin’ at me as if this was my doin’!”

Baderon furrowed his brow, as if he already knew what had transpired, “So what ‘appened, eh?”

Before Alecfort could chime back in, Javeant made an attempt to redeem himself as he plopped back into his seat. “Bloody Sea Reavers! Raided our vessel and forced us t’ walk off our own planks into th’ deep!”


“We’re lucky they decided not to gut us and turn us into chum for their Sahagin friends.”

“Bah! I would’ve gutted th’ fishbacks and filleted them fer dinner had they tried!”

“That -certainly- would have helped earlier, hm? But here we are shipless and likely to be hung for our cowardice once the Captain returns from Wineport.”

Having heard enough, Baderon butted in once more. “Alright scrags, listen ‘ere. Normally I’d tell ye both t’ sod off wit’ your problems an’ take ‘em t’ someone who gave two shites, but I’ve got a personal score t’ settle wit’ th’ fishbacks and th’ reavers meself, so I s’pose out o’ me own good graces, Ol’ Baderon will ‘elp you get a motley crew t’ assist ye whelps.”

“O’ course, it’ll cost ye whelps a pretty pinch o’ gil. T’aint a free service after all, an’ I can’t be bothered t’ pay these adventuring types out o’ me own pocket.”

Javeant and Alecfort looked to one another, thinking on Baderon’s offer. Without hesitation, the two Elezen looked to the proprietor of the Drowning Wench and offered a nod....

---

Not a bell after, Baderon had sent out one of his retainers to scout for idle adventures with the promise of gil and treasure should they take up the offer. Standing in the middle of the Octant, the slender Seawolf woman looked about as men and women of all races and creeds crossed the plaza between the Chocobo Stables and the Market Alleys.


She muttered to herself something to the extent of “Damn that bloody Baderon...” before cupping her hands around her mouth and calling out in hopes someone would pause to listen.


“Adventurer’s of Eorzea! The Adventurer’s Guild of Limsa Lominsa is seeking able men and women to assist in the recovery of a lost vessel! As a reward for your services, the Guild is paying the hefty sum of twenty thousand gil to any group that can return the vessel and its cargo back to the docks of Limsa before the morrow’s dawn! Those wishing to undertake this request are asked to head to the Zephyr Gate within a bell’s time and speak to Alecfort and Javeant!”

GuidelinesWhen outside of combat, there is no turn order. However, it is requested that you wait to post again until the others have posted as well. This isn't a hard rule, just a guideline.

During normal RP, the characters have free roam as they would RPing in-game. If the RP begins to get slow or stagnant, the DM will move the story along by means of plot progression, events, or simply fast forwarding (walking from camp to the dungeon for example). 

Unless you've posted your character profile/affinity chart in the other thread, please include it in your opening post in a spoiler tag. The template can be found at the bottom of the rules thread.

For this RP, the DM will play most NPCs and all enemy characters. Players are able to introduce NPCs for dialogue pruposes. Please remember that the focus is on your characters however and not on the NPCs.

That's all for now! Feel free to post and get the RP rolling. I'll jump in to move the story along after 2 or 3 rounds of turns or if an NPC needs to talk.
