Lying at the mouth of the great river is The Harbour, over looked by the cliffs of Warwick, it houses many ships at all times, A lot of the city's trade come through these docks and the place is always full of merchants and sailors.

*Strides yet again puposefully towards the largest wall he can see and plasters up the poster*

Capt.LeRue

THE ELVEN QUEEN is docked here A3029780

*see lilandra boarding the Elven Queen, follows*

Captain Nuge walks into the harbour, breathes deeply, strides around a bit, look at poster, murmurs to self, goes to look at ship.

*Ren follows the white fox into the harbour, then stops and clicks his tongue in irritation*

Well, apparently he jumped overboard my friend

*Crouches down beside the fox which has stopped sniffing around and is sat gazing around the harbour*

So, either he lies at the bottom of the sea, out there alive somewhere or he found his way back. What do you think?

*the Fox turns and looks at him thoughtfully, then pads towards the edge of the water and looks out*

Ah, really? Well, we had better find something by way of transportation then. Do we think conventional transportation should be used, or something more interesting?

*he plays with the foxes white fur and squints at the horizon*

There are islands out there, my foxy friend. But they are not friendly islands. We must plan first, I need my other weapons back for a start- and some gold. I think a ship would be best *Ren stands and glances about the harbour with sharp eyes* Let us return to that.... Inn... *Ren turns and leaves*

*The Elf strides purposefully out towards the Harbour from the inn, the fox trotting along beside him*

Now... for the Harbour master

*he glances about the harbour, which seems to be emptying of people now that he has arrived*

Well.. perhaps we should just help ourselves then

*he approaches a small boat, not suited to taking far out to sea and crouches by it watching it thoughtfully*

What do you think, my foxy friend?

*The Fox approaches the boat and sniffs thoughtfully*

It could be amusing, dont you think? A ship would be far too easy

*Ren stands and turns to the people left assembled*

Tell the harbour master that a friend of a man at the inn called Cal has borrowed this boat and will return in

*Ren turns and steps into the small boat lightly so that it barely moves. The white fox hops in behind him. Ren gets out his pipe and plays a short eerie tune, the water around the boat starts to stir and suddenly the boat moves foward as if being pushed by something under the water. Ren sits cross legged in the middle of the boat as it speeds away*

Watches from a safe distance as Ren leaves the harbour*

<< Tell me when whoever plays your Captain has a plan, and where he is planning to appear etc til then I'll just wander the ocean >>
