RP Tavern Quest: The Delivery

[MightyKeb]

**Nathaniel shrugs at the fight, leaving the two lovers to their honeymoon as he simply jumps inside the junker in search of valuables.


After the fight is over, he runs back out on the junker's top deck, "Excuse me to interrupt your lovely moment but- oh. Nevermind, it's over already. You may want to look at this however." he yells, notioning towards the lower deck.

[ShadedExalt]

*Shaded sets down the Squid, vaulting off the side and walking over to Nathaniel, gun still out and ready.*

"What... The hell... Is that?"

[MightyKeb]

"More like WHY THE HELL is there so much of it?!" He points at the extraordinary amount of crates filled with fresh water, "Forget the Oasis, this is enough to cross Anglea and back to the bar!"


He peeks his head out at the rest of the Viper crew, "Do you gents mind if we erh, obtain possession of some of these?"

He whispers back to Shaded, "By some I mean all.

[Carn]

yanking out Bloodsong Carn yells back

"Just a second."

he proceeds to search the Viper's corpse and finds among some coins, weapons, and poisons, a contract stating that he was to steal their shipment.

"Alright what is it, and your gonna want to read this."

[ShadedExalt]

"That's exactly what I mean!  He must have raided every ship he came across to collect this much...  But how did he lift it?  A Mobula or a Galleon, sure, but a Junker?  We should check the balloon, see what's what."

[George Mills]

"Carn? What should I do?"
He says taking off his goggles and placing them around his head.

[MightyKeb]

**Nathaniel glances at the paper, "Oh, this? You're surprised? Are you expecting us to go on a vendetta? No sir, this was expected from the start. I'm not sure if anyone else has this contract but they soon will, I bet. We're not carrying a bunch of bobby pins here."

[Carn]

"George hold position for now, we're gonna search this thing then we need to figure out what to do with these chumps."

to Nathaniel
"Im not gonna leave 3 men in the desert without water, scum or not thats a bad way to die, i say we strip them of they're weapon give them each a waterskin and send them off, after they go we blast whats left of this thing.  My point though is that we now know it, and whoever they are they are willing to hire some serious scum."

[ShadedExalt]

"NO!"

*Shaded gestures wildly at the water.*

"Do you have ANY IDEA HOW HEAVY THAT IS?  There MUST be something strange about that balloon!"

[Carn]

"He does have a valid point, that much water will weigh a couple hundred pounds at least, combined with the crew and weapons.....thats a freaking ton of weight.  The average junker couldn't maintain flight, let alone combat."

[George Mills]

"Guys...I found a wounded man...he's been shot in the leg."
He calls out to the rest of the group
"What should I do?"

[Adam Zehariel]

He coughs, he is clearly delirous
"Water..."

[MightyKeb]

"I'm more in line of leaving them to a born-in-desert-die-in-desert sort of fate, but I agree it may be a liiittle too much. Let's check the balloon and see what voodoo magic lies in there so we know how these guys lifted it."



"Oh, wounded man? Toss him with the Arashi I 'spose, we don't have time for babysittin'."

(My apologies Adam)

[ShadedExalt]

*Shaded calms down slightly.*

"Thank you for finally listening."

*He whips out his pipe wrench, and a trench knife.*

"Now to pry the component free, deflate the balloon, and pack it all up for later.  Think you'll have room on the 'Fish?  Dibs on it, by the way, but I'll let you guys know if I find something once we're back at The Tavern^TM."

*He turns to George, and says,*

"Bring him over here.  If he cooperates I'll see what I can do."

[MightyKeb]

"Or we can do that." He remarks at Shaded regarding the wounded man, masking back his crude nature.
