"I know." replied Poat as he forced a smile through. He gathered up his things and got on the ship. As he settled into a cabin, a chess set fell out of his bag. Poat picked it up and recognized it as the chess set that he and Salim used to always play chess with. It is was very fine and intricate as it was inlaid with gold and rare gems. This was Salim's personal chess set that he managed to save from his kingdom when he was younger. There, Poat made an oath to himself that he will find Salim and return the chess set to him.

Osseric got out of his carriage. He remembered that he promised to the Elf that he would help him on the part of the voyage they would spend on the ship. The journey to the ship he had kept to himself, pondering how he would have his minions excavate the riches of the fortress. He had put a reasonable plan on papyrus, but it had several flaws. Osseric had his cart with tradegoods, riches and one of his coachmen return to his mannor, as it was in a different direction from the harbor.
Looking at the ship, Osseric pondered how they would get his carriage aboard as the gangplank of the ship was not wide or solid enough by far. Osseric still did not know why he agreed to this venture as the margins of profit would be slim indeed, if there were any at all. He blamed it to his preoccupation with the riches in the fortress.
Absently stroking his beard, Osseric thought outloud: "Now how are we...going to get my...'retinue' aboard?"

The three looked over at the ship. The blue-skinned one absent-mindedly said, "Now, how do we get close to them so they get killed?" The other jinn replied, "Split up. We emit to strong of a magical aura together. The other two nodded. One went to the ocean, one to the harbor, and the other crept closer and closer to the ship itself.
Meanwhile, Evelgor galloped through the lands, going steadily east. It was time to meet an old ally.

The dark elf had his eyes closed, feet dangling from over the side of the ship. He reached out feeling everything around him, practising the part of magics he hadn't used much before. Earlier he had sensed a strong presence, and focused his consentration on the source, but whatever were strong with magics parted into three. Each one closing from different angles. He smiled faintly. He could warn the others, but then again it could be fairly interesting seeing how this turned out.
He had been afraid the magic had belonged to his old master, but not everyone had the nature to be able to turn into smoke or let parts of their body wander off like this. He suspected three different beings, though they might not even be there for them he suspected that it might be so.
He turned to smoke and appeared beside Osseric. "We could carry your possessions in buckets into the ship, I am sure they have boxes, crates or chests onboard." he said, not looking at the necromancer. "I take it you also sensed the strong magic earlier on."

- We can use our crane to lift up your carriage to the ship, sir.- Said a man with a large blond beard. He was the ship's captain.- I'm sure that the ropes will hold.
Domerth exited his cabin with his blade drawn out.
- It seem's that our 'friend' is back. With company. Be ready. Captain, proceed with the loading. The majesty wants to leave as soon as possible.
- Yes my liege. You three! Man the crane! We have some extra cargo- The captain started to order his men around.

Salim rode on towards Lordring, one of the the greatest and most prosperous cities within the kingdom of Falconguard for a contract. As he rode into the bustling and beautiful city, he saw a statu that he had seen many times before, but never thought about. It was the statue of a angelic warrior pointing his lance directly west. Below the statue was a much less ornate depiction of the mural that Salim saw that seemed to refer to his family's curse. Salim noted that and then proceeded towards The Drunken Dragon, the biggest and most successful tavern in Lordring.
As he entered the tavern, he was greeted by by the smell of food, smoke, and drinks. He weaved his way through he crowd into a dark corner where he met a man dressed in simple clothing, except that he had a red Falconguard insignia upon his ring, signifying that he was part of the separatist rebel faction of the Falconguard Kingdom that supported absolutist rule in Falconguard. The man may have not been dressed like a nobleman, but Salim noticed the way he carried himself and his almost perfect chiseled features, along with the ring. Salim smiled, for this was the man he was looking for.

Oserric's wagons were loaded into the ship's cargo hold without much problem. The dwarwish necromancer chatted with Tael.
Meanwhile Domerth walked around the deck. "The Unyielding" was an old vessel, it was built when Domerth's grandfather gave the kingdom to Domerth's father. Domerth was roughly six back then. However, the quiet iddylic evening was interrupted.
- What's that over there?!- Shouted one of the sailors, while pointing near the dock. He saw a muscular, blue skinned, four armed man, trying to sneak into the ship.
- A fiend!- Shouted the captain, and drew out his falchion. Other sailors also readied themselves for combat
- There are others too! Watch out for them!- Shouted Domerth and summoned his blade. The twins ran up to the deck to also join the fight.
- Where's Rebeca?- Domerth asked Maegwyn.
- Asleep in her cabin.
- Then what in the name of Parkkun are you two doing up here? Go and protect her!
Meanwhile, Rebeca was calmly asleep in her cabin, not aware of the dangers that lurk nearby.

Osseric observed the loading of his carriage onto the ship. His minions were loading several supplies Osseric bought onto the ship.
"Yes...I've felt them too. I've been trying...to remember the best ways...to combat Djinns. A shame I'm....not carrying any bestiaries...with me on this trip," he answered Tael.
As the seaman cried out, the undead dropped their cargo on the spot and drew their blades as one man. Swords and daggers drawn, the five undead stalked down the gangplank.
"Still we should wait....if any magic is needed."

The blue-skinned one halted and uttered a fearsome roar, then pulled out his broadswords. He sprinted toward his challengers. The dark-skinned man stepped out from behind a rock, and lifted his staff, crying a word. Three huge men made out sand, clutching swords, rose out of the ground and sprinted the to the battle. The dark skinned one fell down on his knees, seemingly spent.
Meanwhile, Evelgor was almost to his goal. He was about to raise his hand to knock on the gate, when a tall, skeletal beast pulled it open. He nodded, and went in.

Tael turned back into his elf form and made a slashing motion with his hand, the three men made of sand crumbling as they exploded in fire, then he turned back into smoke. He moved out to the flank of the dark skinned man, readying for the next time the mans guard was down. Making sure he was not possible to see in the shadows.

The man cried out angrily, staring around in search of his enemy, while uttering a complex incantation under his breath. The blue-skinned man slowed, and swung his swords at the undead assailants.

Working complex magic took concentration, and Tael used it to his advantage as he launched a volley of flames at his attacker, already the wind was getting stronger and it seemed to come from all direction straight at his opponent.

The dark-skinned one finished his incantation just before the fire hit him. With a cry, he crumpled. A huge, 10 foot obsidian figure rose out of the ground, clutching a mace. He strode toward the ship, swinging his weapon back and forth.

Salim stood outside Lordring castle about an hour after he finished meeting with his contracter. He leaned against a statue of a dragon waiting for a partner that he was to work with on this particular assignment. Exactly 2 minutes after he was supposed to arrive, a Falconguard soldier with a red Falconguard ring walked up to Salim and saluted, saying, "Greetings, sire. I suppose you are my operative partner?"
"Indeed so." replied Salim as he held up his left fist, revealing his red ring. "Next time, make sure that I am your partner with the proper signs and signals, but for now you are fine. Callsign?"
"Phoenix, sire. And yours?"
"Dune Runner"
"Excellent." replied Phoenix as he turned his head towards the castle. "Shall we proceed then?"
Salim smiled and said, "Let's get started.
The duo walked over to Lordring castle when they were stopped by a cadre of guards by the gates. A person who Salim suspected was the captain of the guard came up to them and then said, "What is your name, and to what business may you have within the residence of Prince Alberto Falconguard?"
Phoenix held up his left palm without showing the ring whilst saying, "I am Leonadros Tivellu, servant of the throne and I wish to bring a message from his majesty, Prince Alaric Falconguar of Highwind City.
"And you?" the captain asked Salim.
"Verath Armitre, servant of the throne and I wish to bring a message from his majesty, Prince Alaric Falconguard of Highwind City." replied Salim as he repeated Phoenix's actions.
"Very well, Leonadros Tivellu and Verath Armitre, servants of the throne. May I see your papers then?'
"Of course, sire." replied Phoenix as he pulled out a couple of forms and handed them to the captain.
The captain looked over them and scrutinized them a bit, until he found the hidden code within the papers that identified Phoenix and Salim as red falconguard separatists. The Captain nodded and handed the papers back with his left hand, showing his red ring to Phoenix and Salim. "You are granted passage into Lordring castle, home of Prince Alberto Falconguard. However, I have a package that was delivered here for the both of you. Please come with me."
The Captain and a couple of other guards went into the gatehouse, followed by Salim and Phoenix. As they were walking Salim quietly asked Phoenix, "Is Leonadros your real name?"
"Yes" whispered Leonadros back. "As a soldier of the Falconguard Kingdom, all of our names and other information is recorded. If I used a fake name, then I would surely be found out and executed."
"No, that's fine." replied Salim. "That's good. I just had to make sure."
When they arrived at the gatehouse, the door was shut and locked as the captain sat down at his desk. The guards the captain brought with him took positions so that they blocked the only exits out of the gatehouse. The captain grinned and took off his ring while saying, "I'm so very disappointed by you two. You couldn't even get past our security checkpoint, could you, ya turncoats?"
Salim then knew what was going on as he gripped the hilt of his sword just as the spears of the guards were directed at him.
"Dissecting the secrets and and customs of your little organization was too easy. And know you've revealed the mastermind behind it all, Prince Alaric. Alberto knew that he could never be trusted and apparently neither could Alaric's pawns." said the captain smugly. "I just wonder where you found this desert rat, Leonadros. Whatever the case, both of you will end up same despite your different places of birth."
He then said to the guards, "Escort them to Prince Alberto's throne room. I suspect the prince must have something special for these rebels. I must return to the gates to continue my search for more separatists."
Salim and Leonadros were led out by both guards, a single stroke away from instant death. They were about to enter the courtyard when one of the guards killed the other one. He then quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm one of you. We have been compromised. There's a passage that leads to the sewers from here. The sewers will take us to Rockport. One of our chapters is over there. We must notify them about the current situation unless they have ben compromised too. We must go now!"
He then went to a side passage that led downwards followed by Salim and Leonadros. They then came to a secret corridor leading off from the passage. Within there, they found an underground river and a small boat there. They quickly set off towards the city of Rockport.

The sky was darkened by stormclouds, and white lightning began whipping the dockside, and heavy winds blowing towards the intruders. Ignoring this unusual squall, Domerth, along with Osseric's undead minions clashed with the blueish being. The sailors were knocked around by the obsidian giant. One of the wind wortexes reached the water. The pillar of water rose up from the sea, gaining shape of a wyrm's neck and head. The figure moved towards the giant construct and attacked it with a furious blast of water. A forked lightning stroke it, and disarmed it of it's weapon.
Domerth looked back, and saw Rebeca chanelling the spell
- I WARNED YOU OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF YOU ATTACK US AGAIN!- she yelled, and the water wyrm grabbed the golem with it's watery jaws and returned to the depths from where it was summoned, crushing the giant right before the wyrm's head reached the surface of the ocean. The squall however, continued and Domerth withdrew from hand to hand combat, and helped Rebeca to maintain the storm, adding a rain of razorsharp icicles to further reinforce the furious storm.

The journey through the underground river was relatively short, and soon they joined a sewage canal that led to Rockport's main harbor. Eventually they came out, only to find that the entire place was storming.
"Tis' a bad omen, friends." said the guard who had earlier revealed himself as Jerekyl.
He then was about to dock the boat when he saw that the nearby lighthouse had blue flames.
"They've taken Rockport too! Prince Alberto's servants are very quick indeed." said Jerekyl. "The Lighthouse keeper is one of our informants, and a good one at that too. He must've seen us come out of the sewage tunnel and set off blue flames to warn us. We must be careful."
They swung the boat around when a couple of arrows hit the boat.
"We're under fire!" yelled out Leonadros as he held up his tower shield to block the incoming projectiles.
"We won't have time to escape from here. We must smuggle onto a boat." said Salim. He looked around and then finally saw a large boat on the other side of the harbor that seemed to have quite a bit of commotion there. "There! We can get there before they do, and it looks like the sailors there would be too busy to notice us got on. Jerekyl, you paddle the boat along and Leonadros, you shield us while I provide covering fire!"
The other two nodded an set off to their tasks. Salim pulled out his short bow and arrows and started firing away. He didn't hit many of the assailants, but he wasn't trying anyways.
Just as the boat arrived at the back hull of the large ship, Salim noticed that there was fighting on the ship as well. He thought he saw someone he recognized, but before he could identify that person a final well aimed shot hit Jerekyl in the throat.
"Jerekyl!" yelled out Leonadros.
"Quiet!" whispered Salim to Leonadros."We want to sneak aboard without announcing our presence."
However, the noise of the fighting drowned out Leonadros's yell, so all was well for them. Then all of the sudden, freezing razor hail rained down upon them. Leonadros reacted quickly and shielded both of them while Salim tossed a rope up to the back of the ship and fastened it. He nimbly got aboard and then helped Leonadros up too. They cut the rope line and then sneaked their way into the private quarters of the ship.
"Where the hell is the cargo bay?!" whispered Leonadros frustratingly as he searched all around.
"Here" replied Salim.
They both tugged on the door, but it was locked shut.
"Damn it all!" yelled Leonadros. "What'll we do now?"
"I don't know." replied Salim as he looked around for an alternative.
A sailor came running into the corridor all of the sudden and Salim quickly grabbed Leonadros and headed straight into the nearest cabin before they could be spotted. The sailor then was about the enter the very cabin they came in. Leonadros and Salim hid behind the door as it was opened by the sailor. The sailor opened a chest of swords and brought out a couple. Leonadros and Salim quietly scurried away and ran off into the hallway. They looked around for a cabin that a sailor wouldn't dare intrude upon when Leonadros saw a very big fancy cabin that could only belong to a female of noble bearing.
"How about there?" whispered Leonadros while pointing at it.
"You know that's a great way to get yourself killed, not to mention that-" began Salim, but was cut off as Leonadros grabbed him and quickly got in the cabin as the sailor got out of the other one and ran back up. Once he disappeared, Salim was about to go back outside when a cadre of sailors ran through the halls. Leonadros quickly pulled him back in and then hid themselves in one of the many wardrobes in there that looked like it wasn't used very often. Once they were inside, Salim said, "I should never have taken this job..."

Osseric's undead minions were keeping the four-armed Djinn at bay, for now. He wondered how long they would manage as the magical creature was gaining the upper hand. Undead were strong and nearly impossible to vanquish, but they lacked the skill the Djinn obviously had in measures.
Osseric was preparing to deal with the creature nonetheless. He was summoning his skull-soultrap to him. Which was difficult as he needed to navigate the item mentally from the box in the carriage on the ship into his hands.
After some effort the skull floated towards Osseric, who caught it deftly. Unfortunately Osseric had to take an extra measure to ensure that the soultrap would work and override the Djinn's inherant magics.
Holding it by the dome, with his index- and ringfinger in the eyesockets, Osseric drew his obsidian knive with his other hand. Saying a short incantation-prayer to the Death-god, Osseric jabbed the knife through his hand into the rune he had carve into the skull days ago. The rune filled with his necrotic blood, Osseric eyes flared a toxic green and he pointed the jaw of the skull towards the Djinn.
With inky smoke pouring from his nose and mouth, Osseric howled the keyword: "VENGEANCE!" The mandible of the skull opened and a myrtle-green vortex sprang forth from the skull, seemingly sucking all the light out of it's area. The Djinn faced the vortex only the be hit by it. It's very being was sucked into the vortex and as such into the magical skull. The Djinn let out a wordless and fading howl before being completely being entrapped by the vortex.

The gold clothed one watched the fight with interest. He was never one for haste. It was good for him to first view the enemies strength and weaknesses. He drew out a piece of a paper and a quill pen, and scrawled something on it. Then he stood up and left, away from the ship.

- There's one more!- Domerth shouted. The twins along with the crew of the ship had surrounded the mage. All of his magical strenght was used up to summon and maintain the obsidian golem. Seeing as the odds are against him, he focused all of his energy and teleported out of town, just a moment before Falrick's axe would cleave him in half.
With everyone on board, the storm has ceased as suddenly as it began.
"Strange... I sensed three, but one fled after a while, and second one teleported away. This is bad."- Though Domerth.
- Captain! Set sail towards Merinanth at once!- Said Rebeca.
- Yes your majesty!- he then started ordering the men around, who worked fast and precise to get the ship to move. Several minutes later it exited the harbor of Rockport. Rebeca then started conjuring another spell. Two pillars of water arose and merged together forming a circular gate. The ship sailed straight into it. When the vessel entered it, Domerth felt as if the ship was getting pulled by an invisible rope. Minutes later they emerged from another gate, straight into the open ocean, far from any land. The air here was cold, and in the horizon he saw something white. They were sailing through the frozen sea. If Rebeca opens a few more portals like that, then "The Unyielding" will reach Merinanth in no time.
- You're exhausted sister. Let me help you reach your cabin.
Domerth helped Rebeca to reached her cabin. As soon as they entered, Rebeca lied down on the bed.
- You need to get changed. You're freezing.- Domerth walked towards the wardrobe, where unkown to him, Salim and his new companion, Leonardos were hiding.
- Leave me be. I'm exhausted.
- You have to listen to what your older brother is saying.- Domerth chuckled- I'll order the cabin boy to bring some hot mead.- He opened the wardrobe and was pleasantly surprised.
- Well well. I know a goblin who's going to be very happy to see someone. Now you two perverts get yourselves up on deck and I'll see that you two won't be hanged for this stunt of yours.- Domerth calmly said to Salim and his friend.- And let's keep this as civil as possible.
