"This Captain Jon Brown ,..We need to get a message to the Baron.. the wedding planner drugged the crew and attempted to kidnap Lillianna, but failed.,She has escaped and is no longer on board. Our manifest is otherwise unchanged,. We would like to talk to the Baron about helping Seth to provide additional security, Asante may have others onboard."
The yeoman shook his head and the content on the message and sat for awhile wondering what to do. He didn't know anyone this guy was talking about nor understood the threat suggested. Protocol would be to deny them docking and notify authorities but they were on the list of docking authorized and they were bringing guests for The Baron. Last thing the Yeoman wanted to do was upset the Baron. He wondered if the Captain of the ship was trying to be funny. After all, these Tramp freighter people were one step away from loony-ville anyway. He pressed his comm link and dialled a number.
"Hello, Baron Fairchild's Residence." A lovely feminine voice answered.
"Hello. The Is Yeoman-Purser Burl Smith. We have contact with the transport "Destiny" and it is making approach to dock."
"Excellent. The Baron wants to meet them when they do. How long until they are fully docked?"
"Umm, About 10 to 15 minutes Ma'am. There is just one thing. The Captain, named Jon Brown is ... well he is talking about a kidnap attempt and someone named Asante is no longer abroad. Here. let me play back the message to you."
The Woman on the line listened to the message and then there was a long pause. Yeoman Smith was pretty sure she was consulting with the Baron. "Thank you Yeoman Smith for your diligence. We appreciate you contacting us. have you informed security or anyone else of this?"
"No but I can if you'd like."
"No. We have taken precautions about the kidnapping threats and they were obviously successful. I believe the Captain was not properly apprized of the situation but the Baron will speak to him. Please let him that the Baron will met him in person when he docks and all will be made right."
"Yes Ma'am. Thank you Ma'am."
"No, thank you Yeoman. I will make sure we speak highly to your captain for your excellent work and discretion."
The Yeoman disconnected and smiled at the thought of someone complimenting his work to the captain. He reconnected to Destiny , "Captain Brown. The Baron is aware of your situation and will be meeting in the docking bay upon your arrival. Proceed to Docking 4b. Rim's Dream out."
Grace informed the Captain that she was going to remain in her room and monitor from the cameras in the docking bay. She did not want to risk the chance of Templeton seeing her so she felt this was the best course of action.
AJ and Rick reported to the Captain that they would have to follow their orders of meeting the Baron upon docking and leave with him. They would need all their stuff and an idea of what you wanted them to do after that.
Seth reported that Lilianna was not in the mood to see her father so he was willing to come out and talk to the Baron in her stead.
Stephanie came around with a orange flavoured drink for everyone on board. It was a vaccine to the drug that Asante used on you so that it could not affect you again.
Tess docked the ship with ease and soon the auto-latch engaged and the seal was created between ship and ship. The cargo bay doors opens to reveal a very clean docking bay with a lot of silver and white. Two armed security guards stood behind protective plastic barriers while three motion detecting machine guns located high above in the dock whirled into position to point toward you. Standing between the two guards is an older man in a very nice suit waiting you with a pleasant smile on his face. He is not armed beyond a cane in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. A feminine but computerized voice intones "Welcome to the Five Star Liner's Rim's Dream. No weapons are allowed pass this point. Have a nice day."
The Baron steps forward and says loudly, "So which of you is Captain Jon Brown? I believe we have much to discuss."
OOC: OK. I need to know who is there beyond the Captain, the Brothers and Seth. Do you want JC there with Angela in the background?

Great Post Tann, gives me something to work with.
Mmv is mired in school work right now so I will be posting her actions within my post. I have to respect her desire to keep schoolwork as her #1 priority.
As Ody has suggested a post coming today, I will await Monday to update this game.

Not a big fan of replacing players.
And the three I would be replacing would be Keeper, Tann and Kyle as they have not posted for over a month.

So the statues are within the first 20 feet and 90' of the entrance passage is shrouded in the darkness. Within the great cavern, the top of the embankment is also completely dark.

Subject: sneaky sneaky
Sparrow examines the footprints in the dirt by the statues. She has seen these before although not quite as big - Were-rats. Judging by their gait and foot print, Sparrow would estimate they are probably slightly bigger than an average man and there seems to be a lot, although it is hard to tell exactly how many.
Lun's divination to detect evil proves to be a mistake. She is quickly overwhelmed by the intensity of evil that comes from all parts of the cave - the walls, the floor and the ceiling. She has to dismiss the spell quickly as she feels her sanity beginning to slip deep into the abyss that stared back at her.
Maximus moves forward into the cave, passed the statue and the inky blackness while holding Hoth in his hand. It allows his to see the walls and floor before him, but not much more. He continues slowly, checking for traps as he goes and then the cavern turns and the darkness limit is reached. Before the large thief is a huge cavern, illuminated by moss that gives off a din light. The cavern is long and wide and there are three large cave mouths on one side. On the opposite side, the side a dirt hill that ascends from the back of the cave upwards to 30 feet high. The hilltop is completely covered with the same pure blackness that he came through to get here.
There are creatures moving with great haste in here, all of them large ratlike creatures walking like men. Except these were-rats all have four arms and wear a banded armour. They have sheaths of javelins on their back and spears in the lower sets of hands. As Maximus watches, many of them run up the embankment and into the cover of darkness.
Maximus retreats from his hiding spot and returns to the party to let them know what is waiting for them - an ambush.
OOC: a map is coming

I can picture the reaction of the poor crewman to Jon's message. A WTF look and a "this guy is nuts" shrug.
You know that the Brothers are suppose to report to the Baron immediately. Seth will want to do so as well.
Lilianna wants nothing to do with her step-father at this point and is staying in her room.

As I read this, the Thief, Bard, Ranger and Cleric are going into the cave further. If I receive no correction to this impression, I will post on that basis this weekend.

Albert has a sick Mother at home right now and will be attending to her for the next little while. During that time I will be NPCing him.
Right now in the story, I see Wolf would go to the tower, talk to the grounds crew there and order a systems purge and fueling. This would leave talking to Hairy dude and his Captain to Jade and the control tower to her as well.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: Posting for Maximus
Sparrow asked aloud, "Anyone have any ideas on how to fight something we can't look at?"
Maximus steps forward, "Well, it is time for me to earn my pay," he says and moves towards the cave. He gives a brief nod to Sparrow, to ask for the ranger to cover him as best she can.
He sees the Bard move forward behind him with her sword aloft. He appreciated the back up and smiled at the cleric but asked, "Stay behind me a ways as I am going to try to go into the cave a ways and then report back."
Maximus moved towards the statues, slowly, eyes and hands scanning the area before and around him to make sure there were no traps ready to spring. There were prints in the dirt - lots of them. Big feet with claw like toes - looked like giant rats - but really big giant rats if there were such a thing.
The statues have been placed here, much like the scarecrow human on the bridge. The positioning is too straight, too aligned for this to be a party caught by a basilisk. The statues seem to have been here for awhile. There is dirt in cervices of the armour and sand accumulated on the hats or helms, but not 75 years worth. If Maximus were to guess, he'd think these were old statues recently moved here and dusted off.
The big rogue looks to the darkness and decided to try something, He withdrew Hoth and looked to the darkness. The sword was enchanted with a light only the wielder could see, so he wanted to know if it could pierce the darkness. Peered into the abyss before him with sword unsheathed and could see further, although not as far as he could normally (30 feet).
Maximus walked back to report his findings to the group and to volunteer to go deep into the deep dark blackness.
