Now that the two days have
passed they gather their things and make
their way by carriage to where the ship was docked. They luckily had
someone to steer the carriage a halfling man named tony. He wore a white shirt
with suspenders he had short black hair and a thick moustache he was someone
that escorts people from the castle to where they need to go. He was a lively
man who was the kindest guy you would ever meet and he was the type of person
to give you the shirt off his back. If you needed it this is why all the party
cherished and respected tony. Even though Xemreron had just met him he really reminded
him of his other grandfather. That had died when he was eleven he was kind brave
also he taught Xemreron the greatest value of all a real man doesn't fight for himself
but to protect others. As well as his loved one he started to tear up in the
back of the carriage the rest of the party asked what was wrong? He then told
them " it's nothing seeing Tony just remined me of simpler times that's all."
They all just kind of quietly say ok they then hears Tony's voice and he's
telling them. "Well folks sorry to cut your conversation short but we have
arrived at your location they all exit the cart and they stretch. Then tony
says "well I did my part getting yeah here, if you don't need anything else from
me I'll be on my way good luck friend and may you be prosperous and your journey
be fruitful." Xemreron than says hey Tony don't leave yet he then hands tony
four gold coins. The highest currency this mortal world has to offer Tony then thanks
him. " Oh how gracious of you I will not forget this act of kindness" he then
heads back to the kingdom. And the group finally get settled in the boat plus get
the boat on a course for their destination. Of the isolated island of Melos the
first day on the boat they did not do much, Adalade and sara made sure the boat
though it was a ship stayed on course in the right direction. While Kagen and Xemreron
spent time fishing together they ended up catching a medium sized haul. That
they stored using magic and they would do their own things in their free time. Kagen
would hone his martial arts while Xemreron trained his strength and pray to
strength his holy vows. Also he would practice casting his spells and Erin would
train with his sword to hone his skills with it, also Adalade trained her
partner drake as well as her precision with her bow, and lasty Sara trained her
cat familiar and her spells.well the fist day end smoothly the didn't stop
their pace to the island so the just took shifts of two people
…
It was now day two of
their journey to the Island of Melos. They continued their journey to the
isolated island though today was more of the same. They trained, ate, and
steered the boat most of the day went by normal. But in the afternoon they had
noticed another ship in the distance seeing this Xemreron summoned his familiar.
Which took the form of a small dragon with wings and he could see what it saw
as well as cast spells through it so he sent it to scout the ship. To see if the
appear to be hostile and to see how many are on the on this ship. He checks and
sees that's it's a group of five from what he could see the five all wore hats
plus clothing the covers all parts of their skin. He thought this was weird but
just assumed maybe they were nobles they seem to have red eyes and pale skin. And
the one in the front has a pair of binoculars and is staring in the distance of
are ship. Then one of them notices my familiar and shoots it down leaving it
to unmaterialized. Xemreron then tells
Erin to fire the cannon and aim for that ship he then says on it Adalade then
shout everyone battle position. She then tells Kagen to hold at the other cannon and be
ready to fire once they get a medium distance from us. Then with a boom!!!
The cannon ball shot by Erin hits their ship as smoke starts to rise in the
distance. Seeing the ship get close then as soon as their now a medium distance
another boom sounds. As the cannon ball from Kagen's cannon make contact with
their ship with a crashing blow then the group of five on the other ship scramble
to make it to our ship. Where Adalade, Sara, and Xemreron were prepared to
strike as soon as they arrived on their ship. The first one to arrive was the
man that had the binoculars and Xemreron was the closest to him so once he was
in range Xemreron infused his sword with his divine power to smite the man.
Causing him to be burned by this divine power which now proved the suspicions of
the group. That these people were a group of vampires. Not long after all their
guests had arrived on their ship the second one was met with a arrow fired at
them piercing their body doing small damage to them. The first of the vampires
to arrive started to speak saying "woah woah no need to be hostile we just
want." Just as he was about to finish what he was saying Erin from the upper
deck leaps towards the man sword in hand yelling out! " As if we could trust you
who started off hostile you just didn't get to act on it how about you eat this
and die you scum!!" as he lands he plunges his sword deep into the abdomen of the
vampire then twists and slices. He then retracts his sword and then vampire man
plummets to the ground his body spilling blood and other body parts out. The vampire man falls cursing him "damn you my family will avenge me!" Erin laughs yeah right then
The second vampire was fire bolted by Sara burning
his arm a bit casing his skin to start slowly burning in the sun. Just then the
the rest of the vampires now all on the ship start to scream in anguish and they retaliate with fierce
bloodlust. As a wave of fierce killing intent seeps out of
them as they rush the party ready to slaughter them. To bad Xemreron
responds with one of his spells guiding bolt to one of their chests as he to
fell dead. Now only three of them remain Kagen jumping into action dash over and
punches on of the vampires. The daughter and then hits her with a flurry of
punches and then with a single punch doing lots of damage to her. But not enough
to take her out she then attacks him in response pulling out a short sword and
with the speed of a hare appears behind him slashing towards his neck. But
missing to hit him seeing the danger Kagen is in Trouble Sara expends energy to
cast a spell called chromatic orb. Which is a one star spell the weakest of the
level of starred spell the only thing weaker are the no starred cantrips. The starred
spell system in this world exists to quantify the power of said spell it max
out at nine stars. But only the strongest of magic users could cast such grade.
Now that the spell was finished she could chose what element the orb of energy
was and she chose fire as the transparent orb ignited into a small ball of red
and orange fire. As she hurled it at the daughter who attacked Kagen as soon as
the spell made contact with her body. She was erupted in small flames that
quickly spread all over her as she screamed in bloodcurdling agony. As her body
was burned to a crisp. Now fallen over Kagen pats her down to extinguish the
flames. Their was only two of the vampires remaining the mother and the son who
attacked Adalade with a knife he was smarter then all the others. He walked up casually
and started to say "ok your guys are too strong I'll surrender just please
don't kill me and spare my mother she's all I have left." now he's sobbing she then kicks him on the ground.
As she puts her attention on the mother and shouts "do you yield just as your son
had it be futile to resist and die while you could surrender and live." just then
from be hind her she her "surrendering is for the weak as she was pierced
through the back by a dagger. It went all the way through to the front of her
body as she curses in anger "damn you snake." He then whispers in her ear "that's
the name of the game sweetheart you just haven't been in the game as long as
us." as she collapses in his arm and is unconscious as he puts his dagger up to
her neck. In retaliation her drake tried to attack him but he kicks it away and
now starts to yell!"What why the silence my friend vampire caught your tongue well
here how this is going to go you bring me and my mother where we need to go or
your friend going to take a trip to the other side where you sent my family good deal." he
then points "you their dragonborn man you'll be my helmsman." Having no choice
Xemreron went to the wheel of the ship with the son and followed his orders. As
he yelled at the rest to work on the other parts of the ship as his mother
stood up front with him. While sara had a plan she spent time mopping the top
deck of the ship. While she was using one of her sorcerer unique ability silent
casting. She was mopping while silent casting ice knife a one star spell but she
was casting it as a two star spell this was know as upcasting. As soon as the
spell was ready she went down on the stairs and dropped something this caused
the son to send his mom to deal with it. She saw the mess she made and the mom
told her. Let me do this job you humans are just useless she then got to the upper
deck. Then unleased the ice knife on the son hitting him doing a lot of damage as
she yells "Xemreron now!" As he caught Adalade and thrusts his sword through the
sons chest killing him. As the mom was now frantic and then Erin rushed the mom and
stabbed her through the back and sliced finishing her off. Well now that they
were finished they loot the bodies. And got rid of them they ended up finding gold as well as some trinket type
items. they also had some ok weapons like
the daughter had a plus one short sword
that Adalade took. Being it was the most useful for her a plus one weapon means it
did slightly more damage than that of the average version. It benefits were that
it made it a little bit easier to hit one's target and the more damage part.
Well she was happy with this find also now that Xemreron was still at the helm. He asked Adalade " hey I know you just almost died but help he rechart our
course to are destination." She replies on it and now Xemreron is steering the
ship to the island as they spend the rest of the day sailing. And into the night
they took shifts just as they had the previous night. By morning at around four
thirty A.M. they have finally seen the island off in a distance. It's a bit
shadowy but they can see it more and more as they continue getting closer and closer to the
island. Inch by inch but they finally arrived at their destination the island of
Melos. When they arrived they went to the
nearest inn they could find so they could get some quality sleep. The inn they
arrived at was called Hero's inn when they entered they were greeted by a human
man. That had tanned skin curly brown hair and was skinny and about five foot
four in height. He says to them " Hello
their and welcome to the mightiest in on our island how can I be of service to
you?" After hearing this Adalade says "well we our adventures who have traveled
far to make it here. We are tired also in need of rest and need five rooms." Hearing
this he tell her "of course just the type of guest I love to get just like you,
I was an adventurer back in my youth I traveled far and wide and conquered many
a beast." He the gives her five room keys and says "down the hall to your right."
Adalade pays him one gold and the group heads to their rooms and get their much needed rest.
