*Keia was the first beast to the docks, her belongings all packed up neatly in their respective containers. She glances down the dock towards the sea, catching a glimpse of the Vermin's Regret coming into the port. The ship sailed through the water gently, having a smooth hull to aid it onwards. Silas appeared beside the white squirrel, still in the process of clipping his sword to his belt. He also carried his belongings, though being more of a minimalist compared to Keia.*
Ready? *She asked him as he approaches.* Just about... *Silas replies, both of them still watching the Vermin's Regret coast into the dock with a bump.*

*Lonas strolls onto the dock, watching the ships around him. The squirrel is dressed in his normal manner, but with a pack, carrying who-knows-what.* *The golden squirrel comes up behind Silas and Keia, shifting the scimitar at his side into a more comfortable position. After a moment, he inquires, *This is our ship?

Oh, hello Lonas. That looks like our ship. *Silas turns around and replies to Lonas. It was one of the nicer ships in the fleet, that was for sure. A fast coast-raider that still retained most of its class due to the detailed crafts-beastship, from the ornate stern section to the carved insignia in the bow. As the squirrel spoke an otter leans over the deckrails, calling out,* All paws on deck! Landlubbers off the port side!
*Silas looks up at the otter and grins, shielding his eyes from the sun with a paw.* Cap'n Archeio! Permission to come aboard, sir! *He performs a stiff army salute, still grinning in good humor. The otter, identified as the captain, pretends to stroke his whiskers in thought. Then he looks down at them again and replies, * Permission granted, Captain Hawkeye! We needed some extra ballast anyways. *Archeio heaves a gangplank over to the dock so they could board the ship.*

*Lonas glances up at the otter captain, then shrugs a bit and glances over the ship again.* She's a pretty one, that's fer sure. Wonder how she'll hold up in blue water, though?....this girl's a coast-hugger.
*He continues studying the ship, mostly ignoring what else is going on.*

*Danniar comes flying along the beach, shale, sand and lack of height slowing her down. She does not, however, have a heavy bag to hinder her, unlike some of the others. Tied to the rope belt around the rat's middle is a pouch holding a stale loaf of bread and two apples, and a flask containing water, which bruises Danniar's side every time she takes a step. The only other thing she has brought besides this, is a large pawful of elderberries, some of which she eats as she runs. Danniar's paws pound against the wooden pier as she reaches and rushes along it. Well, pray t' oo'ever y'like tha' they don' think you're a pira'e ra'.*

*Keia clears her throat, fidgeting with something in her paws. She turns around to face Lonas.* Are you coming, Lonas? *She asks, already halfway up the gangplank.*
*Silas was on deck no longer than one second before Archeio shook his paw heartily.* Welcome aboard, matey. Heard ye needed a lift to the Island. *He says, looking over the squirrel's shoulder to see Keia looking back at Lonas and Danniar rushing towards the ship.*

*Lonas looks up at Keia and nods. *Aye, I said I would, didn't I? *He starts to follow the white squirrel up the gangplank, looking behind him to see Danniar charging up.* Oh, there she is.

*A young hare comes walking by e. He is about to continue on his way when he notices the great boat. Happily he walks toward Silas - which who he thinks to be the leader- and a big grin crosses his face as he begins talking to the squirrel.* It's really quite unusual to have a jolly ole boat like that one at Terralux, wot. I bally well know that the only reason to have a boat here is if you are going on a jolly ole quest, and I only have one bally thing to say: Count me in, wot, wot! *With these words the hare keeps quiet and waits for an answer.*

Sure, ye can come along. *Silas told the hare.* We'll need all the help we can get. *He then looks over all the arrivals, and thinks,* With two hares, the supplies aren't lookin' that good... Hey, where is Twilight? *The squirrel peers along the shoreline for any signs of her, his mood bordering on impatient.*
*Keia sets her belongings down on the deck, and also took a headcount, noting Strongpaw's addition to the questors.* Pretty soon we'll have the whole village on the boat.

*The hare knows he should have brought his belongings (like the others), but he also knows that if he went for them now he wouldn't come back in time to board the ship so Strongpaw decides to use what he is carrying: a bow, arrows, a flask of water -which he was intending to use during his morning walk-, and a pouch of mushrooms (which he had found and was going to take back to Terralux for the cooking). After counting his possesions, the hare goes to inspection the boat.* This indeed looks like a jolly well fine boat to me, wot wot!
OOC:I will be unactive for some days due to a trip, I leave early tomorrow, 7/08/07.

*Danniar stares up at the others, finding their conversation, literally, over her head. She scurries aboard the boat, hoping to find Twilight, or somebeast else to talk to. Try no' 'o look scared or like a seara', or they'll shou' "vermin" and'll kill y' withou' askin' no questions. The rat continues to eat the elderberries in her paw, despite the thought occurring to her that she should save her food for the journey ahead. At this moment, Danni' hears Strongpaw commenting upon the boat, and - not being one to hesitate or be shy - walks right up to him and begins talking.* 'Ave y' been on a boa' b'fore, then, sir?

*A commotion came from beyond the docks. Listening to it, it sounded like a big crash, with much yelling and plenty of screaming. Pretty soon, Twilight could be seen running for her life for the ship. Looking up, the Hare spotted the gangplank, and her friends on board. Gluping, she put on double her speed, and ran up the gangplank, diving behind a pile of barrels.* Don't let them bally well see me! They think I did it, but I bally well did not! Some idiot crashed into the bloomin cook on his mornin walk, which then he rolled into the barrels outside the taven, loosin them, and tangling up several beasts in the process. And Iah was the only one in site. Now they're tryin to kill me!!!! Can we go now?

*Lonas, who had paused on the gangplank to admire the scenery, is almost shoved off by Twilight. The squirrel scowls a bit, but continues up and dumps his bags onto the deck.* *Nice ship. When do we leave?
