Depths of Deception.

[Complex_Assault]

Phineas
The crowd and guard don't let you get too close, but you can make out a few figures. Ironclamp and a few others are with the apparent captain whose focus has switched to his ship- "My beautiful baby girl! I only just finished paying you off- how could this happen!?". Next to him is a women trying to calm him down, but she clearly has a rising temper. You can see some dozen or so crew-mates exhausted and hauling what goods they could spare off the ship quickly.
Looking at the ship, it's covered in barnacles, clearly left unchecked for some time. The hull of the ship has many dinks and scratches, but from this distance you cannot make them out.

Kragar
Not too far from Phineas, you don't see much more than a broken ship, but your Hawk familiar seems to notice something you don't.

Etali
From what you can make out through the rain, there are few smells you recognize, and what you do make out seems to mostly be from goods on the ship- there is one smell however you can just barely make out. It seems rancid, almost like rotten meat- and then it is gone.

[Kragar]

I try to investigate what my Hawk Familiar seems to have noticed.

[Phineas]

<<sheathing my swords, as I walk up since there is no conflict>>

<<watching the interaction between Sgt Ironclamp and the ship's captain and crew  ...  using Breeze's hawk eyesight, try to get a good look at the cargo being unloaded>>

I then, move around the crowd, watching the side areas, marking any unusual activity for later investigation. I walk over to Kragar.

Lean over and speak in a low tone "Well, my draconian friend, ideas on this."  <<pointing at all of the wrecked ship>>

[Coyotemoon]

I stick close to Phineas watching for anyone paying us too much attention. I also load a screaming bolt in my crossbow and keep it at the ready.

[Complex_Assault]

Phineas
Through Breeze, you see the cargo is mostly foreign goods, apparently from a land beyond the Trackless Sea. What's not covered by containers is skins you've never seen before, pottery, and jewellery. Now seeing the far side of the ship, it seems to be in much worse shape than originally thought. Its tilted towards the bay, with a huge hole in the hull, though not below the water level. and within this part of the ship, you are just barely able to make out a shadow moving to a corner against the outside wall.

Kragar
Isabeau seems to be hopping around, trying to get a better look around the ship. Not quite on edge, but clearly not calming down, Isabeau takes off, heading towards Breeze's direction.

Etali
Though the crowd is now dissipating, the space around you is more open to see. Loading your crossbow attracts the attention of several bystanders. Including the woman who was with the apparent Captain.

She approaches, and in near-perfect draconic says, "The hell are you up too? We're all tired and the guard is right there! If you got a problem, take it up someplace else, or put in an official complaint. Now get on outta here, and take your little birdies too."

[Coyotemoon]

In common I respond. It's rude to leave other people out of the conversation. And clearly you're tired because this is the second time these fish bastards attack tonight. They even dared to attack right under your Sgt nose. So excuse me if I don't trust you or your men to protect me or my new friends.

[Phineas]

**quick question before I say anything  ...  do I recognize the lady ?**

[Complex_Assault]

**quick question before I say anything  ...  do I recognize the lady ?**

You have some feeling of familiarity, but if you have met her it wasn't recently. She does seem to be from Lantan, human, and a little on the taller side for a woman. She wears a saber by her waist and modest clothing. Nothing else seems to make considerable impression.

[Phineas]

Since Sgt Ironclamp has the situation in hand, I am moving more into the background area.

<<watch the area and the individuals (townsfolk, etc), especially that lady; lean towards Etali and speak softly in Draconic>>

"Don't worry about her or the others, just keep an extra eye open out in the water  ...  that where I'm edgy about." 

[Coyotemoon]

I nod at Phineas and follow.

[Kragar]

"I already have my Familiar keeping an eye on things." I say to Phineas, in Draconic.  "I do not trust these people."

[Complex_Assault]

Etali
The woman does switch to common and calms herself, but hardly slows her speech. "Fish bastards? Flynn's a glorious idiot trying to save face. He got spooked by a school of ray's and put a hole in our hull during this storm. It's all well and good to look out for your friends, but this isn't the setting to draw weapons. If it's that worrying, please clear out. Away from the water, and gives us more room to work." Then walks back to the ship without a second thought.

Following Phineas, you don't see anything in the water.

Phineas
Townsfolk continue to clear out, only a few are trying to get a recount of events from Sgt. Ironclamp. The lady Is now talking with a merchant who happened to be by-standing. Flynn himself is helping move the goods onto the docks, all the while his crew avoids him- or he's avoiding his crew?
Ironclamp's guards quickly inspect whatever comes off the ship, with little issue thus far.
The crowd is all but dissipated.

Kragar and Phineas
Both hawks are now returning to you after inspecting the far side of the ship. Certainly agitated, their gaze won't leave and they hop around, moving their heads to you, then back to getting a look.

All
Suddenly, the crew members below deck burst out rallying themselves and others onto the docks, but no further. Turning back towards the ship, except one sprinting to Ironclamp, they draw cutlasses as two large figures are half visible atop the ship.

[Phineas]

<<pull shortswords and take a defensive stance>>

**whistling softly**  ...  oh boy  ...  battle stations, guys  !!!

[Kragar]

I draw my sword and prepare to go airborn.

[Coyotemoon]

***yells*** Hey lady!!! What was I just saying!!!!
Shoulders my weapon and aim down sites at the first figure.
