OOC
Ah, the smell of the sea, and the feeling of a ship beneath your heels as you cruise back home to port! Here we see a scurvy band of able sea dogs as ever a man may see: a wiry and richly dressed hobgoblin captaining a sturdy caravel crewed by creatures of the monstrous persuasion. As the vessel sails merrily into port at Rickshaw, we might see his trusted officers, a formidable bunch, his first mate, a scarred and raven-haired lass with the look of death abouts her, his loyal master-at-arms, a towering elven warmaiden, from sight identified as one of the separatists from the Sil-Merrion Empire, his quartermaster, a shifty-eyed fresh-faced youth, brimming with guile, and his spiritual adviser, a member of those mysterious men-o-the-sea, the whale beings, spear in hand and marble skin gleaming with sea-foam. Now, our crew is on the cusp of finishing a short journey to the central hub of the Isles, the mysterious and secretive Wavebreak Isle, where they go to answer a summons by the dwarven Order of the Shining One, which has called for fortune-seeking warriors. Your ship glides into dock at the foot of the mountain hold, a simple green-scummed stone quay, at the mouth of a wood-doored tunnel deeper into the mount. As you tie up, the doors creak open, and a party of seven dwarves, six soldiers in engraved stoneplate, all bearing steely halberds, escorting an elderly robed individual with a full length beard of white, carrying a staff of obsidian, topped with a shining topaz shaped as an eye. The guards part, and he steps forward to address your crew.
Ah, the Oblivion, by the grace of Sinderion! We have been forewarned of your presence. I am Forgath, current grandmaster of the Order of the Shining One. Come, let us retire to the Pilgrim's Hall, where we might discuss your employment.

[Taricus]

Raiss warily followed the dwarf, one hand resting upon the hilt of her blade that rested at her side (If only out of comfort.) "Very well then."

[Hanslanda]

Seldain busies himself with ordering the crew about, getting the ship settled in. He then sets up a shore leave rotation so everyone gets at least a couple hours at an inn or brothel today, for he knows not how long we might be staying. And he stays with the ship. (Someone will Off-Screen Exposition Dump for me, I hope. My character takes his job seriously.)

Oi, I didn't even write you into the scene !

[Weirdsound]

The captain falls silently into line behind Raiss but in front of all the other officers. "Well met Forgath. I am Captain Slicer of Many Necks of the Oblivion. Call me Slicer unless ya like tripping over syllables or can pronounce the shorter goblin translation." He states as he follows. "I can't say I was 'specting to be met by the Grandmaster himself. The stakes must be high and the consequences grim if you are willing to work this closely with my lot. I have nothing but respect for your people, and be lookin forward to sitting with you and discussing terms."

I've already got a 'Kill this one first' from the GM, I might as well steal as much screen time as I can, and make myself as useful as possible. So maybe the others will actually just resurrect Seldain instead of forcing me to roll up a new character who is not a nifty evil monster.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Genesis stands on the deck, quarterstaff in hand, looking over the scene below, trying to remain inconspicuous for the time being. He is very wary about stepping foot upon the quay, because that is no longer the Oblivion, a place where devil possession is accepted. He turns away from the bow and retreats into the wardroom but stops to speak to Seldain first.
"You're setting up a shore leave? Not much shore to leave to; there's naught but the Order on this island."

In the wardroom, he pockets his Psi-Crystal, and then focuses inward.
Malarea, I need to know everything you have on the Order of the Shining One. But more importantly, I need to know if I can walk in there with a devil in my head, and walk out again with you still in here.

"It's better than nothing. They'll get restless if they just stay on the ship all day. Might as well let them kick rocks for a few hours if it keeps them quiescent later." Seldain shrugs fluidly.

[My Name is Immaterial]

"Fair enough. If you will kindly excuse me, I need to go determine whether or not I ate something bad last night, and hence, cannot go ashore. If I did, then I would greatly appreciate it if you would cover for me."
Genesis continues on his way to the wardroom.

[Remuthra]

Hah, you're funny. Are devils allowed in the place where most of the guards are paladins? Don't worry, I'm not even here, remember?

Now, your lady friend there with the demon blood... Well, I suggest you get out there quickly, to see tonight's entertainment.

[scriver]

Surrah stands silent behind Slicer but watchfully sizes up the dwarf and his guards as they approach, greeting the grandmaster with a small flourish as he approached. Still without a word, and still keeping an eye out for trouble, she follows behind her comrades as they begin to walk away.

((Is this OOC? Is it somebody speaking? Is it a response to somebody? I have no idea what just happened.))

[My Name is Immaterial]

Hurriedly, Genesis begins to jog out of the wardroom, passing by Seldain.
"It went down just fine, as it happens. I'll be going ashore."
Remembering something, he quickly stops, spins and says to Seldain, "Lower your mental defences for a moment; with your permission, I am going to manifest a mindlink. If anything happens, we can get in contact with you instantly."

Seldain stares at Genesis blankly for a long moment. "Let's be polite and not read each other's minds, shall we? I'm sure we both have secrets we'd like to keep secret, and it would be unfortunate if a safeguard such as this caused... An issue between us. I'm not sure what this mindlink is, but I like my thoughts private. Otherwise, I accede to this request." Seldain cautiously lowers his mental defenses.

((Oh, it had a shadow. It didn't show on my phone ))

[My Name is Immaterial]

"Do not worry, it is more like mental speech. I cannot read your mind. It is a common misconception." With that, Genesis manifests Mindlink.
Opening the link to Seldain, he begins transmitting.
This will last an hour, and we can communicate from anywhere on this plane of existence.

Genesis falls in line behind Slicer, his face filled with a small smile.
"It is an utmost honor to be greeted by your Eminance. I prefer the name Genesis."
