Post by Cantio von Lumen on Sept 19, 2022 22:52:56 GMT -5
"... Unbelievable! Just, unbelievable!"
Cantio has not really stopped complaining; he is absolutely bewildered over the circumstances. After all, he and Javal had risked their necks getting through those tunnels! They had almost burned to a crisp! And for what? To have the tablet stolen right from under their noses!? After all of that, the elves had taken the tablet and retreated to their ship: and by the time the two Tieflings managed to catch up, they were too far out in the churning waters to even think of chasing.
And he is livid!
It's less about his initiation into the Mage Guild turning into a total flop with this unexpected turn and more about the thought that the tablet is in the hands of what seem to be bandits, or thieves of some kind... and he just... let them have it! He doubts the tablet holds the key to the Mystical Archive— not wholly— but it is an important piece of history, and it is a clue to something.
He was responsible for it in a weird roundabout way; and he let the guild down, and the preservation of history down.
"So, they just up and ran off with it?" Captain Brooke asks, frowning as Cantio throws up his hands in a sign of frustration. The Tiefling has been pacing back and forth on the ship since he made it back with Javal in tow; both of them have been trying to explain to her the situation, and Cantio has been debating heavily on what to do about it.
"They just, ran off with it! The one with the arrow had some kind of smokescreen, and... just..." He should've been more attentive, and now he's in this mess. It's not Javal's fault, and it's not the crew's fault, but he is certainly a bit frustrated in himself; he's no master adventurer, and he's no mage, but he should still know better than to let his guard down. "They made it to some ship and went off that way into the fog." Cantio makes a gesture towards the direction he predicts the elves' ship took them in based on the trajectory when Javal and he had seen it.
Captain Brooke looks after his gesture, "Well... Quite an unfortunate string of events, ain't it?" she remarks, looking to Javal for his input while Cantio crosses his arms, and continues pacing on the deck. His tail flicks back and forth, with all the resemblance of an irritated cat. "Any idea where your crooks might be heading, kid?"

Javal was currently sat down criss cross on the deck of Captain Brook's ship he's bandaged up from their last fight. Although Javal was able to dodge and weave any fatal blows he did get the occasional spear thrust in the shoulder and leg. Javal was calm and thinking as Cantio was upset that they had the tablet taken right in front of them. Javal was not upset at the wicked fiends just more upset at himself, Javal was supposed to be helping Cantio get the tablet not pursue his own fun. If only he had acted normally and not acted like himself wanting to battle against wicked fiends and instead took time to survey the area before jumping in. He stood staight up in front of Cantio and bows down a deep bow and says, "I am truly sorry Cantio this is completely my fault. If I didn't charge into the battle immediately we may currently have the tablet in our hands right now my behavior was inexcusable and I am truly sorry that I caused this mess. I will make this up to you by getting it back I swore on my life". Javal then says, "They're heading to Thorock I heard one of them mention that they'd be the richest people in thorock if they got that tablet". Next goal is Thorock once we're there I can track them easy without trouble I know the entirety of Thorock like the back of my hand.

Javal steps in the path of Cantio's pacing, and the Tiefling halts— hesitating when the man bows before him apologetically. He feels a pang of guilt, realizing that he's been a bit... unwieldy after their experience in the tunnel. Ungrateful, even. How unbecoming. "No— no, no! No, it's not your fault, Javal. You have nothing to apologize for." he rushes to tell him, waving his hands in a cross. Captain Brooke, on the other hand, seems vaguely amused by the theatrics; it's not every day you see a bard crack like this.
"It was bad luck, that's all— please don't blame yourself. This was my responsibility, and I didn't notice it either. Just bad luck." he assures the other Tiefling. He holds his hands together in front of him, summoning every ounce of good will left in him to offer Javal a smile. Really, it isn't his fault at all; he just dreads telling the mage guild that it was a mistake to offer him an initiatory chance, after all. "Please don't go risking your life, okay? I'd much prefer you alive."
Captain Brooke breathes a laugh, listening to the two. "Thorock, huh?" she remarks, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. Cantio looks at her, brows furrowed slightly. "Well, this might actually be a great opportunity; we've got bandits. If their hideout is in Thorock, that's our jurisdiction. What say we pay them a visit?" The bounty hunter leans up against the railing, tipping her hat to Cantio and Javal. "Sounds like there could be a black market in play, some illegal activity; and the higher-ups want to see that kind of thing quashed. We get back your tablet, arrest some thieves— everyone wins here. Mostly."
"Well..." Cantio hesitates; there's an opportunity to get back the tablet before it's sold, or broken, or damaged... but he feels a little hesitant to put these people at danger because of a mistake of his own. He doesn't know if these bandits are just petty thieves, or... something more than that.
Captain Brooke has little worry about it, though; she pushes off the railing, giving Javal a hearty pat on the back, and saunters her way up the stairs back to the helm. "Alright! Let's go, boys! We're setting sail for Thorock! Man the sails, lift the anchor!"
Around them, the ship comes to life; and Cantio breathes a soft sigh, offering Javal a grateful look. "Thanks for your help." he remarks, feeling just... a little bit hopeful about the next steps, as unsure as he may be.
The next step is to get to Thorock, where Javal will be able to, hopefully, find their hideout.

Javal had calmed down a bit but he then said, "Although you may have forgiven me Cantio, it does not change my resolve even a bit we will get that tablet back and you will join the magic guild, A pirate's word is everything that's the only thing that they can give I gave you my word we would do this so we will!". Javal stayed sitting on the forecastle deck the whole time they made their way which was about a day at this point everything up until nowhere Javal would say they were about halfway there. Everything was fine until he got a bad feeling he turned and saw it the source of his slow unease to excitement. There making its way next to them was a pirate ship with a skull with a redbeard as its jolly Roger. Javal recognized it immediately they were the redbeard pirates. Javal had ran into the many times and every time he managed to escape with his certain ice ability. Javal yells, "All hands on deck get ready for enemy boarding and cannon fire. These are the redbeard pirates 52 members strong, they were some rookie pirate crew around when my old crew were the best pirates of the sea. They despise me and want me dead because I kind of left their captain with a scar on his eye after slashing him for disrespecting my crew and captain after the disappeared. I'm really sorry for them bringing you guys into this". Javal throws his stone chess piece and Gustave the Gargoyle appeared ready to fight.

"Well..." Cantio trails off, looking a bit nervous as Javal insists that he wants to get the tablet back; but the Tiefling seems determined. Like he wouldn't listen, even if Cantio denied him, or told him no; he breathes a sigh, smiling lightly at Javal. "Really, I do appreciate it; but my initiation means less than getting the tablet back, if we can. It's a piece of history, after all. Thank you, again." He offers the man a grateful bow as the sails of the ship unfurl, and Captain Brooke sets their course to Thorock.
It's been about a day since they set back for Thorock; Cantio has made himself about as useful as a bard can make himself on a ship (entertaining the sailors or helping in the kitchen, mostly). He's tucked himself onto a tied down crate, eeking his nerves out with a song on his viol, when he hears Javal yelling. The music stops short, and Cantio blinks himself into the present. "Huh? Enemy boarding?" he remarks; he looks towards Captain Brooke, whose face hardens as she looks out to sea. Cantio turns around, viol resting on his knee, to spot a pirate ship.
He pales, a rush of unpleasant memories taking hold of him from his last encounter with a pirate ship.
"O-oh. Oh, no." He hops quickly off the crate he perched himself on, rushing towards the helm as Captain Brooke spins the wheel. Cantio bounds up the stairs to join her, clutching onto his viol nervously as the ship's stern spins to face the Redbeard's Ship.
"All hands on deck! Prepare for enemy boarding and possible cannon fire!" she howls out; a cheer of agreement rises from the sailors down below. Cantio sees Javal throw something, and a creature emerges from it; he is not so keen to fight, himself. "Keep out of sight if you can, the crew and I can handle this." she remarks over her shoulder, loading up a crossbow against her knee as the ships glide towards each other.
"I'll— I'll be okay." he answers, and takes a deep breath; this is a little too familiar of a situation, but he pushes through. Raising his viol up to his shoulder, the sound of a quick and jaunty tune fills the air; from the feet of the sailors and Captain Brooke alike, flickers of light erupt from sun-rays beaming down on the ship through the fog— inspiring those who hear the song, and making them just a little faster. (1)
He hears Captain Brooke laughing slightly.
"Even your music's got a few tricks up it's sleeve, eh?" she remarks, leaping off the helm as the boat rocks and shudders— grappling hooks are tossed from the Redbeard's ship, and the enemies are preparing to board. He simply hopes he can help them keep an advantage.
(1) Note of Momentum — For the next three post all allies who can hear your music will have their speed increased, able to move twice as fast as they normally could. In addition an enemy that hears this note will have their speed reduced, moving half as quickly as they normally could.

Javal and Gustave were fighting the boarding pirate crew with captain brook and her men. Javal and Gustave are currently facing Orsyk the Lizard and Koros a minotaur, members the Redbeard pirates. He looks over to the Redbeard ship and he sees him captain Redbeard standing watching him. Javal is facing Cunwen and Gustave is facing Moros this isn not the first time the group has clashes like this. Orsyk armed with a spear and Koros armed with a battleaxes. Javal slashes into Orsyk while Gustave tears into Koros with his fist. Orsyk is strong but Javal is simply stronger they go back in forth for a bit until it's clear Javal is overpowering Orsyk his battle ends with him slashing him in the chest. Orsyk immediately drops to the floor. Javal then turns around to see Koros on the floor knocked out. Then Redbeard drops onto the ship Warhammer in hand right in front of Javal and says, "Hey there, peon it's nice to see you" as he brings his Warhammer right down into the spot where Javal was standing before he dodged out of the way, his two vice-captains pop up next to him, Moros a tiefling and Cunwen and Aasmir. Javal is currently next to Gustave and Captain Brook ready to fight against Redbeard and his vice captains.

Cantio tries to remain out of combat; this entire situation hits a little too close to home for him, bringing forth some unhealed wounds. The sound of his violin carries far above the sound of fighting; and as the Redbeard's board Captain Brooke's ship, vine-like tendrils of light emerge from beneath the deck— latching to the bottom of their boots like tar. The Redbeard's are slower on the ship; Brooke's crew is faster.
Weapons are unsheathed.
Metallic clangs, clinks, and scrapes start to ring out as the two ships meet in combat; there are a few whose eyes take to him— an abnormality in the middle of combat. Someone seems to think it's he who's the cause of their sluggishness— and they're right— but Cantio has prepared himself for it this time, at least.
As a human Redbeard hurls a hand-axe towards him, a high note rings out from the helm of the ship; and in response, a wall of light erupts in front of Cantio, deflecting the weapon with a clatter. He sees the human scowl, and head towards the stairs of the ship. Cantio backs away, looking out into the chaos for Javal and Captain Brooke— and he sees them, standing side-by side before a man with a warhammer; a tiefling, and an aasimar.
Cantio drops his wall, hopping up onto the railing of Captain Brooke's ship, and ringing out another high note; a vine of light erupts from beneath the Aasimar, catching their legs together— and giving Javal and Captain Brooke just a bit of an upperhand.
Cantio turns his gaze to see the man who'd thrown an axe at him earlier step up onto the helm with him, and he takes a breath to steel himself.

Javal is currently fighting against three of the Vice-Captains of the Redbeard Pirates with Gustave his gargoyle and Captain Brooke against Folmet the Dwarf, Cunwen the Aasmir, and Moros the Tiefling, all known for their strength and ferocity. Captain Brooke is up against Folmet, Gustave against Moros, and Javal against Cunwen. Captain Brook is jumping around shooting bolts into Folmet while hes swinging his hammer at her but she manages to dodge and keep shooting. Gustave is fist fighting against Moros's sly dagger slashes, Gustave is getting cut but he doesn't seem to care he just keeps punching and Moros keeps dodging until finally Gustave catches him slams him into the deck of the ship knocking him out cold. Javal is having the time of his life fighting against Cunwen and his thrusting spear. He is dodging and weaving while the aasmir seems to get more and more angrier as Javal keeps dodging eventually Javal gets bored of this and catches his spear with his hand hits him with the other end to the gut and hits him in the back of the head knocking him out as well, 2/3 of the vice-captains are out and Javal sees Gustave head over to help Captain Brook against folmet. Javal doesn't join them he has bigger fish to fry with Captain Redbeard He sprints behind Cantio to join him in their fight against the foul captain. Side by side. They come face to face with the captain. Captain Redbeard facing them with a wide grin and says, "Hey there little Bluebug come to play with dear old Redbeard not so big now without some weakling crew to stand behind you are you. To think that such a pathetic man such as that clown Wilford was so close to being the king of the sea but then again it's not a suprise that the crazy bastard finally got himself killed before seeing his goal. We the redbeard pirates are much stronger than your weakling of a captain". Javal froze immediately blood turning cold, his attitude completely changed from a few seconds ago he immediately ceases his easygoing, fun-loving grin and relaxed demeanor. He stands up straight, has a serious expression on his face, you can tell he's beyond furious. He says in a furious tone, "Redbeard last time you were talking like that I left you with a giant scar on your face so every time you would see yourself you would be reminded of me and how weak you are. I have had enough of your pathetic self and won't tolerate any more disrespect on Captain Wilford and the Black Dragon Pirates. I have finally had enough I wont let you besmirch the greatest man that I have ever known in my entire life, this time I will kill you without remorse"..

Cantio takes a step back; the man with whom he is facing is not particularly tall, given he is a dwarf— but he's got an awfully mean look in his eyes. He flicks his gaze towards Javal and Captain Brooke— each fighting their own battles nobly against men he does not recognize. The sound of his violin, still, rings out amongst the clashing. "Aye... s'you who's playing that damn music?" he rumbles; Cantio can see the vines of light sticking to the bottom of his feet, dragging his ability to move— proof his music works. "Don't much appreciate that, sly devil." He spits onto the ship, raising one of his axes, and flinging it towards him. The wall of light, once again, springs forth; and the bard breathes a nervous laugh, stopping his music for only a moment, to extend his arms in a half-bow.
"That would be me, kind sir. What's a choreography without a little music, after all?" he remarks, earning a slight scowl from the man that he does not know is Captain Redbeard— not until Javal joins him. Cantio looks to his side, relieved that he's here, because he— frankly— does not want to join in on this combat; but then, the Dwarf starts to introduce himself. "This is Redbeard?" he hisses to Javal from behind the Wall of Light, a flicker of nervousness crossing his face.
Oh boy.
He was sassing off to the pirate captain.
He clears his throat, tail flicking as Redbeard starts to talk big— something about Javal's previous captain... having died? The atmosphere around Javal changes suddenly; and Cantio looks worriedly towards him as he growls to Redbeard. Redbeard snarls back, and Cantio... well, this is personal. He does not like combat, but... Javal looks dead serious; and he cannot just leave him to fight on his own. "This... is your fight, isn't it? I'll be here to back you up." he assures the other Tiefling, placing his bow on the strings, he picks up the song where he'd left off— ensuring that Javal, no matter the case— is quicker on his feet than the hefty dwarf may or may not be.

Javal says, "Cantio my friend please stand back a bit things are going to get bloody here alright, and stop using your power on redbeard please I need to do this myself" His companion backs off standing at the stairs now. It is Javal vs Redbeard round two this time lives are on the line and Javal knows that he is not going to be the one to lose this battle. Javal stands compelty focused on a serious stance meant only for killing he focuses his katana ready for battle this isn't the usual cheery Javal style of fighting that is just about having as much fun as he can, Javal is furious beyond belief and is going to kill redbeard with the style of fighting he only uses when he truly hates his opponent. Redbeard and him charge at each other Redbeard with both of his hand axes and Javal with his katana. Redbeard overpowers him at the beginning. He's physically stronger as any dwarf would be but Redbeard is not skilled so Javal begins slowly overpowering his handaxes against his blade and as soon as he breaks through he is able to katana slash his arms off handaxes and all. Redbeard screams, "You worthless tiefling scum" and tries to charge at Javal with a handaxe in his mouth but both of them know that it is over. Javal slashes him 3 times across his body and sheaths his sword back. Redbeard quickly says, "This does nothing you know that right your Buffon of a captain is dead alongside your crew you'll never see them again and will die all alone" and laughs hard Javal then slashes his head off. Javal then screams out, "Redbeard Pirates the battle is done leave with your remaining members and never show your face to my or my friends again or you'll end up like your captain. The surviving members scramble back to their ship and go the opposite way of Captain Brooke's Ship. Javal is just standing at the helm looking distraught letting Redbeard's words sink in.

It's less Javal, and more of the rest of the crew that Cantio worries for; but the bard takes his bow off the strings, and offers a short bow to the two men. "Of course," he agrees hesitantly; he backs towards the stairs, looking over his shoulder at the fighting crewmates down below. He sees Captain Brooke kick a man in the chest, launching him square over the railing; swords clash, and men shout and holler as the battle progresses. Cantio waives a hand; a wall of light appears behind Captain Brooke, deflecting an arrow heading towards her back.
She looks over her shoulder, then nods approvingly at him.
He turns to look back at Javal— standing ominously across from Redbeard— and then, the two charge into motion. Cantio takes another step back as Javal and Redbeard clash, in what he can only understand as a fight to death— a fight of honour, of sorts. He wants to intervene, to help Javal— particularly when he seems to be struggling against the dwarf at first— but he holds off.
The battle is... bloody. Intense.
Cantio takes a step off the staircase, looking over his shoulder; but as Redbeard screams his final words, the pirates of his ship seem to have ceased in their onslaught— eyes wide as their Captain falls. Cantio squints his eyes shut, tail flicking back and forth, as Javal shouts out.
"Off! Off with ya! Dang, bloody bastards!" Captain Brooke spits after the fleeing crew, lips drawn back in a slight snarl. "'Bout had it up to here with these pirates..."
Cantio looks out at the damage done; the injured slouched against railings, being supported to somewhere safe. Bodies of the pirates are thrown overboards, and it's... strangely nostalgic, to a night that Cantio would rather not remember. He closes his eyes, taking a breath to steady himself, and looks at Javal. Hesitantly, he steps up the stairs, joining the other Tiefling. Cantio sets a supportive hand on his shoulder, offering him a sympathetic smile. "He was just trying to get under your skin," he assures him. "I may not know your captain— but whoever he was, to have earned such loyalty from you? I'm sure he was a grand, honourable man... don't take those words to heart." He, very purposefully, does not look at the aftermath that is Captain Redbeard. "Take your time if you need a minute, okay? No rush, but... I do need to help heal up the injured."
Cantio pats his shoulder, and moves to descend the stairs to assist the injured crew down below.

Javal stands breathing hard and heavy he grabs the the dismembered remains of red beard and throws it to the red beard ship he yells Make sure your captain gets a proper burial. Javal fells a hand on his shoulder and words of encouragement from his friend cantio he smiled weakly and says, “Don’t worry about me cantio I’m completely fine just a little rustled is all”, you could completely tell Javal is lying, Javal is a horrible liar after all. The crew manage to recover pretty well and continue their voyage Javal sits on the helm silently people upon the ship all try to cheer him up, even captain brook tries to regale him about Captain Wilford but Javal just smiles and listens. He continues being lookout until they arrive to Thorock nothing eventful happens. The crew dock at thorocks port Everyone starts leaving this ship and heading down to docks. Javal stays on the ship alone quiet until finally he yells, “Captain Wilford wherever you are I promise to make you proud of me”. He then sprints down to catch up with his friends he’s back to normal. “Alright to find our wicked fiends we’ll have to meet some friends of mine and my family lets first go to my family’s tavern.

Cantio is not terribly convinced with his friend's answer; his actions, and his body language, speak what he won't admit; but people are also hurt, and Cantio cannot just leave them, either. Still, Cantio offers Javal a sympathetic smile as he turns, heading towards the crew.
It takes some time and energy, but Cantio assists Captain Brooke in patching up the crew; given its ability to mend wounds, magic can be invaluable at times like this.(1) He may not be a fighter, but he does hope to assist in other ways. With time, the crew are able to make a considerable recovery; and once again, the ship sets sail towards Thorock. Cantio breathes a soft sigh, spending most of his time tending to crew members; and allowing Javal room to breathe, given how shaken he seemed from the fight with Captain Redbeard.
Thankfully, the rest of the ride goes without much of a hitch.
The ship docks in Thorock, and Cantio looks out from the stern of the ship, tail flicking nervously as he feels the ship slow to a stop near the docks. "Thorock, huh..." he remarks softly. He winces as Javal, from up above in the crows nest, hollars something about his Captain; he looks up, watching Javal sprint down towards them, seemingly... okay, all things considered. Cantio offers the Tiefling a smile, "Oh?" he remarks, giving Captain Brooke a glance as she approaches them.
"Go carefully." she bids them farewell with a small wave. "We'll be your backup, but we need to anchor down, first. Go on ahead— we'll catch up, eh?" She winks playfully at the two of them; Cantio laughs nervously, offering her a wave. He looks back at Javal, smiling weakly at him. "So... your family's tavern? Lead the way."

The town itself was then awakes Javal is playing with the kids talking with every vendor he knows he dances with the all the women and high fives all the men everyone yells out “the hellboy has returned”.

As soon as javal opens the door 5 figures all amubush him in a group hug. He embraces them all and then says,”Cantio these is my family this purple tiefling with curly black hair is my mother Pauline, this red tiefling here with a harp is my younger sister mersaria, this purple tiefling with googles and a burnt apron is my younger brother Nicolaus, this human secretary with red horns and red hair is my youngest sister riezala, and this human looking boy with blue and black horns with blue hair is my youngest brother damion. We’ll spend the night here resting and recovering. Tomorrow we’ll meet my two best friends in the entire world and former black dragon pirates they’ll help us find this fiends.

By all accounts, Javal seems to be back to his cheery, old self... Although, it's hard to tell if he's acting, or if he's being genuine. He had seemed so truly distraught at the time, that seeing him now so cheerful in such a short amount of time is a bit surreal... yet, Cantio can only trust his friend to be truthful. As they walk along together through the streets of Thorock, they do so in mostly silence— but as they close in on an unfamiliar tavern, Javal suddenly speaks up. "Huh?" he frowns, shaking his head. "No, no— of course not! Not at all." he objects, stepping into the tavern behind the Tiefling.
As Javal steps in ahead of him, he hears a chorus of excitement; Cantio steps in behind him, a bit awkward as an excited tavern of men and women crowd about Javal, almost in celebration. He laughs softly, tail curling around one of his legs as he steps around the group hug occurring at the entrance. The Tiefling smiles and nods as Javal introduces him to his family, and offers them a bow with a small flourish in greeting. "Hello! It's such a pleasure to meet the lot of you," he says, lifting himself up to his full height. "My name is Cantio von Lumen; I've had the privilege of traveling with your son. You've raised a wonderful and talented young man— and what an honour to meet his family, as well!"
The minstrel looks to Javal as he continues, telling him they'll rest tonight, and awaken tomorrow. "Ah... right! Of course." he agrees with a nod. "I'll look forward to meeting your friends, in that case! Probably a good idea to get some rest; we've had... quite the past few days."
