Zane was around the back of the building, stealthed and crouching as he inspected the area.
Ganjaru's hands were in his pockets and he glanced around, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. K'ode gnawed on his lip as he looked around. "This it?" he asked quietly, walking beside Themra. Ganjaru trailed slightly behind.

"De bane of us ell," Laz'rik chuckled, nodding in agreement. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a small stack of papers and a pen. "Feel free te read through es much es yeh went. Besic stuff like de agreed price, sefety. Borin' things. Den we cen get on de road."

"This is it..." Themra replied, scowling. "There's got to be a way in besides the front door. There's likely a kitchen in the back that has to take deliveries. Let's see if we can find it."
Character: Ivan
Location: Ratchet
Ivan skimmed through the papers, looking for anything suspicious. Not finding any, he signed it with his first name and handed it back to the troll. "Well then, let us be on our way."

"Most likely," K'ode agreed. They began to walk around the back of the building, scouting the area further. The back alley was deserted.
Ganjaru looked at the dank area and shook his head. "Ah loogout," he said, motioning to the creepy looking alley. He walked back a few paces and leaned against the wall, still smoking his pipe. He turned back to K'ode and Themra and gave a thumbs up before turning his attention back towards the main street.
Nat & Laz'rik
Ratchet
Laz'rik nodded, putting the papers back in his jacket. "Yer privete rooms ere ebove deck, in de cebins on de left. Dere should be someone up dere who cen give yeh yer keys. De... cargo... cen be moved teh below deck. Dere is eh small spot down dere wit' weys te secure de cargo in place. Feel free teh do whetever must be done to de cargo in order to get it ready for de journey, just remembeh whet we already discussed," he smiled.
"De ceptien en de crew are awere of whet is bein' trensported, but you know how dis business is. On peper as yeh saw, yer transportin' 'local furs, hides en meats'," Laz'rik grinned, holding out his hand to Ivan. "Nothin' et ell illegal."

Themra found a door in the back, near a trio of dumpsters, and found that it was quite well-secured.
Something else was interesting, though. It looked as if there had been an unusual amount of traffic recently. Themra wondered if Jeck and his business might be relocating, or even if he already had.
Character: Ivan

"Most excellent, my friend," Ivan smiled, the cornerof his mouth twitching slightly. "I do thank you for your help in this matter."

K'ode tilted his head and ran his fingers lightly over the building, thinking. He then peered into the dumpster. "Lots of stuff in here," he said to Themra quietly, his nose wrinkling at the putrid smell. "Not just food. There's nightwear, cushions.." he trailed off, climbing up the side to check it out more. "Stinks, ugh," he commented to her bitterly.
Nat & Laz'rik
Ratchet
Laz'rik smiled. "If yeh need anythin' let me know," he nodded before turning and walking away, heading in the direction of his quarters. He paused, turning to face Ivan. "Oh yeh, one more thing - clean up eny blood. De Ceptein doesn't like messes gentlemen," he said wink a small smile before turning around again.
Nat had fallen asleep despite the circumstances, the combination of malnourishment, exhaustion and the steady roll of the boat lulling her into a deep slumber.

"Again; our thanks," Sprixx said as Laz'rik walked away. He turned to Ivan. "Pass your time however, I'm going to catch a little sleep." He headed off towards the sleeping quarters.

Zepplin
The zepplin was directly in the storm now. "
Thats...strange.
" Lynch to himself as it went deathly silent. Lynch flinched a bit as a loud crack of thunder went of followled by heavy rain and wind.
"
I think we should turn back.
" Lynch told the goblin captain. All Lynch heard was something about time and money and some technical stuff he dident understand.

"Doesn't surprise me," Themra replied, frowning. "This place is designed to hold dozens of people against their will at a time. It must go through resources at an astounding rate," she paused, testing the door again, despite knowing that it wouldn't budge. "Not for much longer though..."
Character: Ivan
Location: Sea
"Naturally," Ivan smiled, heading below deck. He smiled as he observed the prisoners tied up individually, just as he'd asked. It wouldn't do to have them loose in a cage together.
He approached the troll, who was sleeping quietly. "Excuse me," he asked quietly, giving her a gentle nudge.

K'ode grunted in response, his nose wrinkled at the stench from the dumpster. He dug around a bit, picking up a cushion and tossing it to the other side. He gagged at the smell underneath, and the winced at the sight. "Oh Lo-, ugh," he coughed. "Themra... there's a
body
in here," the druid said, his voice quiet but not as calm as it previously was. "An elf.."
Zane's ears perked up, hearing Themra's and K'ode voices. He began to head towards them.

Nat groaned, her head rolling as she woke up. She blinked a few times before her eyes finally focused on Ivan in front of her. They widened.

Themra tensed up for a moment, but remained calm, walking over to Ko'de. It couldn't be Rise. She was too important to Jeck. He wouldn't let her die.
When she looked at the body, she was relieved to find that it wasn't Rise.
"Slavers don't have hearts," she explained. "To them, slaves are just a product to be sold. And disposed of when they expire..." She trailed off. "I don't think Jeck is here anymore. At least not at the moment. Let's find him."
Character: Ivan
Location: Sea
"I'm sorry to wake you, my dear, especially after all you've been through, but I just felt that we needed some one-on-one time, to get to know each other," Ivan explained, smiling as he squatted next to the troll.

Lynch
Zepplin
The rain and winds were really picking up now and to make matters worse thunder had already hit the zepplin a few times. The goblin captain was shouting orders trying to get the zepplin under control.
Lynch just stood there as he usually did, staying out of the way. Suddenly thunder hit the zepplin one after another and parts of the zepplin started to burn. After a few seconds of silence a massive thunderbolt hit the zepplin knocking Lynch off his feet.
All the power to the zepplin was fired and they started to nose dive. "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" The goblin captain shouted as they plummeted toward a nearby island. Lynch couldent do much but grab something and hope he dident die....again.

K'ode nodded, gagging once more as he clambered out of the dumpster. "I wonder where they've headed..." he said quietly. "Why would they just up and abandon their establishment? It's not like these kinds of business are illegal around these areas. Something big must have happened."
Zane turned the corner and saw K'ode and Themra. He unaligned himself with the shadows, appearing far enough away that he didn't startle them. "Looks like it's abandoned, but I found a way to get in da building. Dunno if it'll help us, but we can look."

Nat scowled at him and said nothing.

Charater: Ebony Gang Ships
Location: Off the Coast of Tirisfal Glades
The Ebony Gang Ships were ironclad vessels designed for the transport of goods - be they objects or people. The metal-encased ships were a much better deterent to pirates than any wooden one would be, making the need for heavy artilery non-existant. Of course, that hadn't stopped Ebon, and later his daughter, from purchasing the best cannons on the black market and outfitting these and his personal ironclad cruise ship - which was not present - with them.
There were three of these cargo ships in total surrounding the island (a two-mile wide spit of land that was covered in nothing but dirt and grass), and the captain in charge of these ships and monitoring the island watched as the zepplin went down. "Gather a group and take the longboats to search for any survivors. Our orders were clear; anyone that came within sight of us was to be either turned around or captured."
The gangster the captain was speaking to saluted and hurried off to prepare such a search party.

Island
Goblin screms filled the air as the zepplin hit the edge of the island. The crash seem to rock the whole island as wood and metal were scattered everywhere. The last thing Lynch remembered was heading for the ground before he lost consciousness

Charater: Ebony Gang Ships
Location: Off the Coast of Tirisfal Glades
The Ebony Gangsters arrived at the crash site a few minutes later, and immediately began to search through the rubble for survivors. "Do you think there could have been any that ran inland?" one mused as he kicked a goblin corpse
"Wouldn't make any sense," a second, and leader, replied. "Gather up the bodies, and cuff this one," he kicked Lynch. "No way to tell if he's still... alive or not."
"What if they fled when they saw us coming?" the first gangster pointed out, gathering up the bodies as he did.
The leader fell silent. "Point taken. I'll take a few men and search the inland as thuroughouly as we can, the rest of you take these bodies to the brig. The boss will want to make use of them."
The gangsters nodded and slowly loaded the bodies into the longboat - Lynch's body restrained as ordered. When the last of them was accounted for, they began the trip back to the ship. The group leader and three gangsters lifted their weapons and headed inland to search for any survivors hiding there.

Lynch was dozing in and out of consciousness. Not knowing what was going on yet.

The gangsters reached the ship and lugged the bodies onboard and below deck. There they opened up a cell that already had an occupant and tossed the goblins in. Lynch they carried in and chained to the wall next to their original prisoner.
Amanda the Shadowheart could only watch as company was brought to her, the magic-cancelling cuffs she had been forced into preventing her from taking any action against her captors. The majority of the gangsters left, but two guards with semi-automatic weapons remained behind to keep an eye on the prisoners.

Lynch finally regained consciousness. He dident move or open his eyes. He could feel that he was be restrained by some chains. Lynch remained calm and tried to think of a plan to escape.

"Well, anyone who makes their living in the trade of people will make their enemies," Themra replied with a nod. "Case in point, me. If he felt he or his business was in danger, he might have relocated for safety's sake. Or perhas moving into a larger facility," she paused, shrugging. "It's also possible he's only leaving temporarily. If he got a large order, he may be supervising the shipment. If he's not here, it might be worthwhile to break in and look for clues."
Character: Ivan
Location: Sea
"Not feeling talkative?" Ivan chuckled, sitting down with his arms around his knees. "That's fine. I'll start. My name is Ivan. Don't worry about the surname. I am currently in the business of recruiting slaves. Boring work. I used to be a breaker, a sort of slave reeducation specialist. I specialized in women. I loved that..." He paused, smiling as he fondly remembered.
"Alas, I couldn't keep the job. Too often I'd end up damaging them, either disfiguring them physically or turning them into a gibbering idiot. Either way they'd end up unfit for meaningful service.
"The bosses didn't like that.
"So here I am now..." He smiled pleasantly. "I suppose my point is this: I have been very easy on you so far, because I am afraid that if I go hard on you, I will lose control again and render you worthless. If you test my ptience again like you did today, however, I will not have a choice. I will hurt you. Do I make myself clear?" He asked, still smiling but with an unsurpressed seriousness in his voice.

"It's not like we have any other options. It will be a dead end if we don't explore," K'ode said with a slight shrug. Zane nodded. "Where's Gan?" the rogue asked.
K'ode motioned behind him. "Keeping watch. I'll go get him." K'ode walked to the corner of the alley and clicked his tongue, making a waving motion. A few seconds later, Ganjaru appeared around the corner.
"Well, now dat we're all hear, follow me," Zane said quietly.
Nat & Laz'rik

Nats scowl darkened, and she bared her fangs at the human. Her fear was evident in her eyes and in the fact that her heart was pounding but she really hoped he didnt see it. "Yahs a monsta," the troll said quietly, spitting the words. "And ah
will
get oudda here."
