One more thing.

How do I get to Nico's on Tuesday?  I will try to be there by 5:00, but it likely by 5:15 due to work and traffic.

Cheers

The Blue Hippocampus makes port at Procampur.�Marvin the Rogue takes his leave of us
with the body of Jars to return to it to its’ brethren – we warn him to beware of being eaten. We
head for the Trade District to procure new crew - where buildings are colour coded!   For 2 GP
a day we enlist the aid of a fellow who advertises and secures new crew by interview at the Green
Thumb Inn.�Cedrith settles into a room to run a hot bath.�Beregon begins questioning potential
candidates as Migwin and Grath look into procuring … wenches.

A good night of drinking ensues and the turnout for interviewees is less then stellar – old men and inept sickly townsfolk.
Inebbirated Migwin starts to negotiate for the services of a little roguish Gnomes’ apparent elven (knockout) women.�
Migwin presents himself as a G-String Inspector as Grath cannot look away from her … clevage!�Surprisingly Migwin
makes headway into his G-String ploy as Requiem appreciates his advances. We continue drinking and conversing
pleasantly enough as no real candidates enter.�Beregon learns that Requiem is a Bard and not just so much eye-candy.
Her associate is a Gnome named for several J’ words – Jonath more predominately – who is a Rogue by trade.�Migwin tries
to interview them casually by pestering on about what would they do to aid them atop a blood red Ziggurat???�Requiem replies
she would sing them strength in song – we try not to be rude.�The next day proves more of the same in potential replacements
for our Party and crew – Salty Pete will not be happy.�Before taking our leave after a poor day of interviews – we secure new
party supplies from the Gnomish couple who own the Green Inn.�Migwin is able to negotiate for a backpack by finally parting
with his hard earned and sacred chicken bone necklace! �With no better candidates for our efforts after 2 days we secure
these more than able two for our Party without a bite for Salty Pete’s crew!

We return nearly empty handed to Salty Pete not wishing to disappoint him.�Yet he is elated to see us as his demeanor
is rushed and excited to set sail! “To Sea, to Sea … to catch the Drowned Rat and find my Ship!”�We set sail for
Mullspacer in pursuit of the Drowned Rat as the day moves on.�All are scanning the Sea’s for the Drowned Rat … but …
the Sun is setting to pitch us into the black nearly 500 miles from port.  Beregon's attempts to use the all seeing crystal ball
does not yield a hint as to the whereabouts of our quarry the Drowned Rat!!!  Migwin is promoted in a brief ceremony to the
post of Salty Pete’s First Mate for the Blue Hippocampus as new crew were scarce.�Congratulations are had all around
 …egads … The Drowned Rat closing from mid-ship Port from the cover of night!�Salty Pete and Migwin make the ship
ready for attack and/or boarding!  The Drowned Rat is closing dangerously ... will they RAM US???

Migwin issues orders to stand ready as he casts Bull’s Strength.�Beregon casts fly and whisks high into the air to stave
off the oncoming ship.�Cedrith is not far behind him as is Migwin.�Cedrith is fighting near the stern among … Were-Rats!
as Migwin engages combatants from the bow of the Drowned Rat!�Beregon illuminates the night with his lightening.�
WHOOSH!!! GOES THE FIREBALL to all those still onboard the Blue Hippocampus!�Jonath takes his fire-ball and sets
himself into an epic tumble – nearly RIGHT INTO MIGWIN’s fighting butt! Grath evades his fireball and not to be outdone
GLIDES to mid-ship in the midst of the melee.�He now flanks with Cedrith and from somewhere … comes a song???�
Singing from Requiem so enchanting and alluring (worthy of her beauty as it helps us with +8).�We make sort work of
them and manage to turn off the charging ship!!!�Betcha you were worried eh???

All but three of the Were-Rats were dispatched.�Salty Pete and Migwin press them into service of ship and crew after
nothing new can be gathered from them.�The Drowned Rat is searched from stem to stern and nothing is found of interest
other than a locked ironbound chest and some charts.�Salty Pete surmises that the Drowned Rat was headed for the
Dreaded Pirate Isles.�A new course is set after the abandoned Ship is dealt with.�Beregon and Cedrith determine that the
Drowned Rat must be scuttled as an evil curse looms upon its’ deck – It turns crew into Were-Rats.�Before scuttling the
ship a friendly rogue contest is had between the Gnome and Hadozee!�Who can safely open the ironbound chest!�
The Hadozee is brash and quickly springs open the lock – SUCCESS!!!�GRATH DID NOT CHECK FOR TRAPS and gets
 a green POISION DART in the face! OH CEDRITH!!!�Some how the trap resets itself and Jonath safely disarms it!

The Drowned Rat is scuttled as The Blue Hippocampus sets a course for the Pirate Isles.�The crystal ball can offer us no aid.
Beregon then sets upon the task of teleporting us ahead to meet the Captain and Migwin at a later date.�So Beregon, Cedrith,
Grath, Jonath and Requiem are whisked away to the very edge of Raven’s Bluff.�On to our next meanderings!

That was the best I could remember from last nite! �Apologies if I forgot something important.�I did take some creative
licence again – to fill in my lack of note taking – I think it is fairly okay.�Gonna try to be short or more concise
(hard as I love story telling!) I.e. I cannot remember for the life of me why we teleported ahead which is kina important.
I think I will have to stick to some shorter note taking as the computer doesn’t allow me to stay focused on the action.
Generally 1 posting from now on though.�If anyone has a correction though – make sure I get it guys!

Thanks Again for a great nite Guys!
