Dagger Silent: Nalar

Prince Toad · #81

Done. Now what?

[sage] · #82

I'll check the map for the southmost town that eysa mentioned then go to the teleportation place and teleport there.

Prince Toad · #83

You check and find that the southernmost town she mentioned is Ondril. You go to the Snowskald on duty and get teleported there. Before you go, she tells you that the Tong has buildings or areas in some larger towns that it keeps abandoned so they can teleport there without interference or notice.

Current Mission: Kill Ybring Strong-Arm

You find yourself in a small building with some spare objects lying around, as well as some wooden crates, probably a former warehouse. None of the stuff seems useful, of course-- that would have been taken long before by your comrades or other thieves. You don't hear the sea, but Eysa assured you they were all port towns, so you gather that you must be farther into town. You judge from the high windows that it's a little before sunset. There's a few doors leading out. Do what?

Go to the closest door and listen to make sure nobody's out there and then walk out.

Prince Toad · #85

You don't hear anyone nearby. You walk out.

This section of Ondril is pretty run down, which comes as no surprise to you, considering how the Snowskald described the usual teleportation areas in cities. Crumbling old buildings line the streets and figures of the seedier populace dash in and out of the dusky shadows. You think you might have caught a faint whiff of the sea, its slightly nauseating fragrance cutting through the stink of the slums. Mostly though, the filth of the area overpowers your sense of smell. You think about it and figure-- hey, any illusions you do here will be that much cheaper with one sense less to deceive. The door you chose led to a side alley just off a larger road. It's mostly deserted, although glancing around you notice some people pushing wagons or warily toting around bags of unknown content on their backs. Do what?

[sage] · #86

I'll head over to them and ask if they know of a sailor by the name of Ybring strong arm.

Prince Toad · #87

Uh, who? Some random guy in the street?

[sage] · #88

the guys you mentioned pushing the wagons...

Prince Toad · #89

Well... I mentioned a lot of guys. K... whatever.

You approach a homely middle-aged lady with a wary look on her face. She has a cart with some old foodstuffs on it in addition to a few odds and ends.

Woman: You'll get none of this! Ah!
You: I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to know if you know anyone named Ybring Strong-Arm.
Woman: Who? No, I don't.

Try again, move on, or something else?

[sage] · #90

I'll just head into the port area.

Prince Toad · #91

You guess the direction of the sea by the smell and head towards it. After a good hour and a half, you find yourself at last facing the docks. There are at least a dozen, probably more. As expected, there are numerous waterside hovels servicing the newly arrived sailors, in addition to fishermen hawking the day's catch, tough men seeking labor or passage, and the like. It's pretty crowded now, since the sun has set. Many people are coming and going to and from the area. Do what?

[sage] · #92

I'll head over to the docks, and see if i can overhear anyone talking to, or about my target.

You go to the docks and listen in. You think you overhear someone mentioning the Jorya. Glancing over, you find the ship herself in port. Nothing's happening to it just then, but they left the gangplank out in case anyone wants to board or get off. Do what?
