Players: Allayanna, Rafe, ShadowHawk, Tikk, Po, Blu'Shim

The night is a calm one like it always is at the docks as the merchants are talking with the cargo ship owners trying to get that extra copper for there boxes. This is a good time to come down to see for any good deals.

Night time has always held a quality of excitement for Tikklen Oean Baer Little cloak Gaerfen Glittergild Turen, Other wise known as Tikk. Her long shirt hangs down about her person and is clenched at her waist keeping her from tripping over the hem of it. A small soft, and annoying song graces her lips as she sings out. "This is the song that never ends. Yes It goes on and on my friend." She hums a bit more before glancing around the docks and wrinkles her nose as the salty brine smell of the Fjord fills her nose. "Okay where am I again." she attempts to take an inventory of what she was doing before she went...absentminded again.

ShadowHawk comes bouncing down to the docks, for no real reason he can't go back to his home at the moment due to dragons in the area and he got bored at Stone Song so decided to go looking for some fun. Since the docks are on the way into town he figured he would start there maybe look around to see if he can find any information on the thief that is currently terrorizing the merchants in the city. He also figures he might check the spot on the dock where the giant Sea lion was killed a week or two ago.

Off of one of the other boats that has pulled into the docks, walks a small bluish coloured gnome. She looks around and gives a small smile as this has become her new home. Blu'Shim looks a little tired from her trip and just wants to get home to take a bath. She smiles as she sees her little brother bouncing around the docks. "Nice to see you meeting me at the docks little brother" she says teasingly as she knew he didn't know when she was coming home.

ShadowHawk grins over to Blu "umm yeah I knew there was a reason for me to be here tonight... Welcome back. how was your trip? did you have fun? did you bring anything back for me?" he then sees a man walk by in colourful dress all red's blues and a shock of yellow and looses his train of thought as he stares at the colourful man.

Allyanna and Rafe walk along the docks and enjoy the salt air and the sounds of the waves. Holding hands the lovers enjoy a moment away from the inn and whisper endearments to one another as they stroll along.

Tikk moves to sneak up behind Shadowhawk. she motions to Blu to remain quiet as she giggles and probably reveals her position before she moves to poke at Shadow's side. "Hey!" she says suddenly with a sudden hop to her step. "How are you.."

Po steps lightly in his dark wooden sandals. A low dirge flows softly from his soft lips as he travels the cold night. The wind carries the icy bite of the North, but it doesn't seem to phase him. His frost elf blood is used to the cold, as is apparent in his rather thin and simple clothing; a sleeveless kendogi is all that keeps him from the cold. The Shadow behind him moves on its own, moving this way and that behind its Morthidar companion. Po has yet to see all of Vintermor, and this is his first trips to the docks. He doesn't expect much. Mostly some more of the seemingly pointless activity that plagues the rest of the settlement. Not that he doesn't like pointless, but it is so common here.

Blu'Shim grins at Shea (aka ShadowHawk) "You know I did and it was great" she says to him and digs into her little bag, pulling out a miniaturized tunic and hands it to him "Here I thought of you when I saw it" she says handing him the midnight blue with small flecks of gold tunic.

A ear piercing scream is herd off to the small cargo ship called the North Starr. Seconds later a man comes out screaming "Giant Goblins on the ship he.." the

screaming starts again as a big yellowish reaches out of the door way the sailor was coming out of.

ShadowHawk grins at the tunic "I love it! Thankyouthankyouthankyoutha..what!" he says as he gets poked by Tikk, he spins around and gives her a hug "Hi do you see the great tunic that Blu' got me? Oh, and did you find Hogle I haven't seen him in the last couple days to tell him you were looking for him."

Tikk Nods a few hundred times and then stops at the scream. She doesn't even get to look at the tunic! oh now she is distracted and the little gnome looks at the other little gnomes. "Gnome power attack?" she asks and then doesn't wait for an answer from her suggestion as she breaks into a run towards the ship.

ShadowHawk's ears perk at the scream he turns towards the ship "***** ******** ****** *** **** ******* *****" he murmurs as he is covered for a moment in a glow that seemed to pour out of his eyes and hands. 'Well looks like some fun has found us.' he says as he reaches for his crossbow. He appears to be speaking in a language you do not understand.

Po looks out towards the sea, towards the North Starr. The dirge fades from his lips and he mutters, "Giant Goblins?" It takes only a moment before he is bounding towards the docks and the ship. The sleek, black wolf behind him easily keeps pace. As he approaches the docks, he reaches to his side and draws his longsword, an elegant yet simple weapon.

Rafe glances at Ally and lets go of her hand, reaching to draw his own weapon, a massive sword, attached to the back of his armor. "Sounds like someone's in trouble"

Allyanna's head snaps up at the sound of the scream and she pulls her bow off of her back knocking an arrow into place. The romantic walk forgotten at the mention of goblins. She begins to sing in an effort to give courage to those who would be heroes.

Blu'Shim in the midst of saying hello to her friend Tikk, hears the screaming on the ship, she sighs as she looks towards the boat in time to see the arm. She mutters as she walks towards the ship and grabs her brother "you stay in front of me" she tells him.

ShadowHawk looks at Blu as she pulls him towards the boat. "what, just because I shot you in the Butt once you want me in front of you all the time!"

The ship top is still and calm even though there was a scary scene just a few seconds ago. The front to the cabins is still open with a human arm in front of it.

The Morthidar Po stops at the bottom of the plank, casting a spell. He looks down to the gnomes and says, "Well, little friends. Are you going to board and help, or stay here and watch like frightened children?" Po motions towards the plank and smiles. Po's wolf remains by Po's leg.

As Blu'Shim gets closer to the ship she tries to hear what she can, she turns to Shadow as they approach "There seems to be a couple of them by the sounds of it"

Rafe nods agreeing with Blu, he doesn't hesitate but moves toward the ship. Pointing "In the Cabin, two Goblins...big ones!" He breaks into a jog up the boarding ramp.

ShadowHawk's grin gets even bigger at the mention of more than one on the ship, he looks down and gets his crossbow ready. the downward tilt of his head hides the dark frown he makes at the elf's words that is then covered by an evil grin "Well Elfy boy I guess we have to board because if you go you might get some blood splashed on you and we'd all have to hear your screams of terror before you faint. Not to mention if there is a spider in the ship!"

BluShim stops and pulls Shadow to a stop "There's a couple of big freakin goblin like creatures in the cabin standing over top of a corpse" she says hoping that Tikk hears her too. She appears to be speaking in a language you do not understand (Gnomish).

Tikk looks up at Po with a growl on her lips and moves to actually take the lead on this one. Of course not after a bit of time, she takes to the shadows playing to her strengths rather then rushing in blindly to the situation. Of course, the little woman apparently is well versed in hiding. Greatly more so then moving silently. She is going to have to work on that.

Po bounds up the boarding ramp after the rest of the group, Shadow moving in tow. His steps are light and careful. Best not to make more noise than everyone else.

The one tall goblinoid pokes his head out of the door grabs the arm and takes a bite out of it but pulls back in speaking in a strange tongue when he sees the people coming on the ship.

ShadowHawk looks up as the dog comes on the ship "Hey look at the doggy, Elfy boy can't even come out without his pet!" then takes aim at the goblinoid that sticks his head out the door.

Allyanna follows the others but more slowly. She continues to sing as she nears the ship and weaves a few words of magic into the song so that she might cast a protective spell upon herself. Her bow is up as she looks for a clear shot at one of the goblins.

Stopping at the sight of the creature speaking a language she...doesn't know. The young woman moves to pull out her crossbow and loads up a shot. Taking an aim into the darkness the gnome (Tikk) fires off a shot attempting to draw out one of the baddies if not hit them...

A moment later one of the Goblinoids comes out with a table he is holding that stops the arrow from Tikks bow "Fine we eat you here." he says as he readies the table as a shield and no weapon in the other.

With a surprise with a dimension door 2 more of them came out but a even taller and beefier one misses Rafe. While the one with the improv shield claws shadow "I will eat you first midget."

Allyanna levels her bow and fires off an arrow that lands solidly in the shoulder of goblinoid #2. It doesn't bring him down but blood is drawn and her song lifts with added enthusiasm. Her chin lifts a little and a smile fills her song at the small victory.

ShadowHawk staggers back a few feet as the goblin claws him, a short exclamation of pain is torn free. He raises his crossbow and shoots at the goblin the bolt embeds itself into the table, he continues to back away while getting another bolt to load into his crossbow.

Bar 3 comes in at Blu from his dim door and misses her barely, as bar number 2 wants a ice cream flavored Po and misses him with a claw attack.

The black wolf to Po's side jumps to one side of Bar2 and quickly changes the direction of movement to jump and bite the creature's knee. Po steps to the other side of the same and takes advantage of the creature's distraction to make an elegant slash with the Morthidar's sword, spilling the creature's blood across the floor. A smile of joy comes to Po's face as he sees the blood spill.

Blu'Shim slowly sneaks out of her hiding spot after Po has slashed Bar2, the creature staggering to right in front of her and just as he turns to where she is she lunges at him swinging her hammer and bashing him right in his dangly bits and doing him a good amount of damage. She giggles as she hears the squishing of his privates exploding in his pants. "Sometimes being 3 feet tall has it's advantages" she says menacingly.

Tikk's arrow slides into the darkness, and the little woman moves to start sliding the next bolt onto the cross bow. She growls and narrows her eyes gently at the creatures that are coming out of the door. She takes aim again, and shoots off at the creature only to hit it with a soft scratch in the arm. Alright, so not she isn't happy, but that only makes the young Gnome think harder about what to do.

Rafe ducks the blow aimed at him, his massive sword missing the target as he spins a bit. Muttering under his breath he resets himself ready for another try.

Allyanna fires another arrow at her chosen goblinoid. Another arrow lands solidly in his arm this time. If this continues he'll be a pin cushion. She continues to sing her uplifting song of triumph against goblinoid hordes.

The taller Goblin like creature takes a swipe and hits Rafe hard "hmm you will be cooked." said tauntingly. Goblinoid number 1 getting fed up at the smurf misses him thanks for his magic spell.

ShadowHawk staggers back further at the goblinoids swing and shoots again with the bolt hitting the table next to his first shot. he reaches down and grabs another bolt to load into the crossbow.

The one Tangled with Blu gets a nice scratch in on her, As Po sees the tall Goblin creature about to cast a spell on him but Po didn't give him a chance and smacks him hard stopping the spell.

Po and his Shadow keep attacking the goblinoid, Bar2. The wolf takes a nice bite out of his flesh once more, but Po's sword only cleans itself on his armor. A clean hit, sure enough, the blood from the sword leaving the mark to prove it, but... Po's smile wanes a bit.

Blu'Shim sees the staggering Bar2 and goes to swing at him but slips on a bit of blood on the deck and misses him. She mutters curses under her breath.

Giving up with the bow for now, Tikk starts to mutter under her breathe, and then pointing at the first one of the creatures, she shouts out a simple command of "DIE." she states to it, and look at that, The creature falls over dead from the woman's spell.

Rafe keeps swinging, his sword not having any effect on the foe he's facing, maybe he'll knock him down with the wind from the misses?

Allyanna raises her bow again but the creature moves just as her arrow flies by it skittering off harmlessly.

The leader of the group sees his brother die and howls like a wolf in a fury and takes a swipe at Rafe and misses badly

ShadowHawk shoots another bolt this time missing wildly and he is slightly amused by the sailor that dives from the dock into the water to avoid being hit by it.

Seeing there brother fall Bar 3 and 2 body takes form of a shaggy wolf with a goblin/bat like face and starts to snarl heavily at the ones attacking them.

Po and his Shadow again attack at the creature, Bar2. Its new lupine shape seems to lend it more dexterity than before, and it dodges out of the way without another scratch.

Blu'Shim gets frustrated after missing last time, she watches the creatures turn into this dog like thing and twist her nose in disgust and takes a swing at 2 again and cracks him in the head with her hammer, she smiles as it howls out in pain.

Tikk growls out again and points at Bar2 she points out and mutters the mantra before firing off twin matching missiles at the creature. They slam into it bringing it near death, sadly it still lives.

There leader is falling curses as he misses Rafe.

Allyanna shoots again and misses yet again but her song does not waiver as she aids her companions.

ShadowHawk looks over at the big one bits of red flame starting to drip out of his eyes "**** **** ****** *** ****** ******* ***** ******* ****** ******* **** ****** **** ******" A bright red bolt of flame shoots from each eye striking Gbar hard. He appears to be speaking in a language you do not understand.

Blu'Shim takes a swing at the wolf like creature trying to land a blow on it's hips as it turns to run away, but unfortunately she just swings.

Bar 2 and 3 see this as a lost and start to run for the cabin area as number two is a bit slower with the blood loss.

Blu'Shim turns into a little blue ball of fury and runs after the wolf like creature and slams it from behind and smashes it to the ground.

Po and his Shadow charge after the fleeing Bar2, the wolf biting as the sword strikes true. Blood again washes the deck red as the creature falls, reverting to its goblinoid form.

Tikk Narrows her eyes slowly at The 3rd creature. Her fingers point again, and the gnome woman starts to chant again in a muttered breathe. Two small orbs, form at her fingers slowly building with energy before shooting off at the creature and knocking him square in the trunk. It falls over dead and the gnome woman looks happy.

Rafe keeps badgering away at the Barg in front of him, hoping he'll knock him down with the force of the wind his misses

Allyanna tries again and aims for the leader. Her arrow flies high and wide totally missing. Her eyes narrow as she stares at him and her song takes on a more aggressive sound.

The angry tall Goblinoid looks to the group and says "I will be back and kill you all in your sleep." with that said he disappears in a portal that forms behind him and he is gone.

Allyanna tilts her head watching him with a deep furrow in her normally smooth brow,"I'll be locking my door at night." she mutters as she moves closer now to check on the wounded and search the dead. She isn't shy about the looting of bodies nor squeamish about it either.

Po turns from the dead goblinoid just in time to see the Leader disappear. He turns again, back towards the cabin door, and runs down to secure the area and find why the creatures would be attacking the ship.

ShadowHawk moves from body to body searching for anything of value, stopping to kick the corpse before moving to the next.

Blu'Shim rummages with Tikk and Shadowhawk looking for any goods on the dead guys.

After securing the ship and searching below, Po returns for his share of the bounty.

ShadowHawk looks up at Blu "Well our job here is done, care to join me in looking for heather for some healing?"

Grinning at her little brother, Blu'Shim nods "Sounds good I've not see her in a long time" she says locking arms with Shea and skipping off (if you can skip with a limp) to the toy store.
