"Well, I can see we are already off to a wonderful start on our quest," Darius muttered. He then said, "Wait, we still haven't been told what the first sword is we are retrieving, where it is, and who we have to take it from."

"Mr. fancy pants left you an intel packet." Seraph made for the door. Drae'san was the first to follow.

Tama yawned, and pulled out his sword. His crystal Katana gleamed in the light.

"Did you hear that, little guy? You get to see your brothers!"

If you listened closely, you could almost hear the sword ring in anticipation. Tama put his sword away, and followed the other people.

<What kind of arrogant, self-centered captain is he? I can tell riding in an airship with him is going to be hell.> She shook her head, then headed after Seraph to his airship.

"Wee, this is going to be fun," Darius muttered, then followed the others.

While the group was arguing about this, Uoyot managed to sneak off.
I dont know if I can work with a tempermental group like this. I will have to rethink this task. he thought as he dashed into a nearby forest.

OOC: sorry, I have to make my character disappear for a while (I'm going on a cruise over xmas break) I'm gone for about 10 days and probably wont have access to a computer. I'll try to write up what my character was doing during my vacation and try to re-integrate myself smoothly. Good luck with the quest

Seraph walked out of the museum and turned left towards a large lake. sitting in the lake was an odd shaped boat. it had two overly large sails parallell to each other on the port and starboards sides. On each sails two small wind mills.

Zato, who had gone into another one of his introspective moods, listened impassively to the exchange between Khakoi and the captain.

An idiot. But not much worse than other idiots I've seen. Still wouldn't want to work with him, though.

He fell into step behind Khakoi and Drae'san, more out of habit than anything else.

"Nice boat. Where'd ya get it?"

"It's a D.C. 404 aquatic landing airship, with the folding wings option. She needs a new paint job. I'm tired of ash gray. I'm thinking of putting polished brass plating, or oricalcum after I get paid for this mission. Maybe put in a sweet surround sound system."

Khakoi looked at the ship, then at the captain, "How much are you being paid to haul us around on this thing anyway?"

"quite nicely. The big guy looks to make sure his employees are well taken care of so he only buys the best. Getting on sweet cheeks?" he said boarding the deck and just as quickly decending into the hold.

Khakoi glared at him, "My name is Khakoi, mind you. And if you keep calling me 'sweet cheeks', it won't be my fault if you find a sword in your gut." She growled as she boarded the ship.

"<This is going to be fun.>" Drae'san said in Ali. He walked into the hold. he looked around the single room hold and saw his horse. "Proda?" he said. he walked over to his Appaloosian stallion. "I'm so happy to know you're ok." The horse nodged him. He saw a parcel near the horse with his name on it. It was next to his belongings.

Khakoi made her way down into the hold of the ship, "So any information about where we're headed first?"

"look in your packet if you want info." Seraph walked toward the only door in the hold towards the fore. He opened the door and shut it behind him. "This is your captain speaking." a voice was heard coming from all around the ship. "All aboard that's coming aboard."

Tama followed Drae'san into the stable area. He found his pure white stallion, Crystal.

"Hey there, girl. Did ya' miss me?" The horse neighed, and reared up.

"Yeah, I thought so." Tama took his packet, and opened it. A thick pad of papers fell out.

"Jeez. We got a LOT of work to do." Tama took the top paper first, and read it over.

"Hmm. Some guy has a Zweihander (OOC:Large sword, think Nightmare's sword in Soul Calibur) that has the ability to create large earthquakes. He's somewhere up north." Tama took another paper that was right after it.

"And some woman has a dagger that makes her invisible. God, this is going to be a fun trip, huh?"

"I think your mixing up your pages. those are two and ten. page one is a tomb invasion. It seems some group is after a gen 3 sword called... whirlwind?" Drae'san said looking at his packet. "We're supposed to find the tomb first and retrieve the sword."

Khakoi was looking over her packet as well, "So we just have to get to the sword before that group does, right? Sounds easy enough."

"Tomb Raider, featuring Zato Roronoa... sounds like a crappy title for a crappy play if you ask me. I'll bet we'll have to push boxes around to get from one lvel to another. Then again, I signed up for this, so you won't hear me complaining."

He turned to Kahkoi.

"I hope you're not afraid of spiders, lady. Wouldn't do to have onbe of our intrepid band knocked out with fright."

Khakoi raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't worry about me being afraid. I'm sure spiders are probably the least of our concerns."

Hiro got a packet, but never looked at it. Instead, he got up against a wall and sat down. Shifter moved the gold he took infront of him, and dropped it off, then returned to covering his right arm. Hiro stared at the gold, then started grouping them, planning on what he was going to buy with each one on their next break. He wasn't worrying about the job at all, seeing as there were several other people doing it to.
