foltor Posted September 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 7, 2023 You feel a warm tingle from your dragoon badge and hear a voice, almost just in your head, as though someone standing next to you were speaking softly: "Please report to the hangar for mission assignment." The hangar is a huge chamber at the back of the middle deck of the airship. The ceiling is about 40 feet high and the whole space is a square 100 feet on a side. The back wall is open to the sky - you can see a distant mountainous horizon and hear the rushing of wind and thump of propellers. It's dramatically colder here than in the rest of the airship. The center of the floor is empty, but along the side walls are dozens of shapes hidden under heavy tarpaulins. Just as you're starting to wonder if you're in the right place and perhaps there's a different hangar your were supposed to assemble at, a hugely tall, red-skinned Orc woman approaches your group. She's carrying a large duffle bag in one hand and a hefty staff with a silver headpiece in the other. "All right, line up," she commands sternly. You'd learned that the Dragoons didn't practice a lot of formal military discipline, but in this case, it seems like the right thing to do. "My name is Uraga and I am the deck sergeant here. You may address me as 'Sergeant'. Not 'Sarge'. It is my job to see that you get to where you're going and know what you're supposed to do when you get there." She tosses the duffel bag to Crastug. It's not light, but it's lighter than it looks. "Today you're going to Zybunny. It's a tiny village in the mountains of eastern Granarctia. They've reported that a bear has been prowling around." Trained in Nature If you're trained in Nature, it's immediately obvious why this is weird enough to merit a Dragoon investigation. It's the middle of winter. Bears should be hibernating. She holds up the staff. "This is your first mission, so I'll explain how the teleportation staff works. You all hold on to the staff, and it teleports you to the mission location. Actually, a short walk away from the mission location, for safety. There's a lot of you, so you'll have to squeeze in. Until it returns, the staff stays stuck where we sent you. After three days, it will teleport back to the Ghost Hymn, with or without you. If you're close enough to the staff, you can use your badge to communicate back to the ship just like calling to another badge. You can request more time, but I expect a damn good reason if you can't sort this in three days. If you finish before the time limit, you can teleport back to the ship like so." She demonstrates a series of presses on the knobs on the silver headpiece. "Remember to have everyone touching the staff when you're ready to return, otherwise you are walking back the fetch the squad member you left behind. Now, raise your hand if you speak Granarctian. These people don't have a lot of contact with outsiders, so probably not all of them know Common. The Village Headman, Krai Primor, does. He'll be your main point of contact."

He may have had some training in the past, if so he hadn't mentioned it to anyone. He listened to the story. A bear should not be any major issue for this group. A single druid or hunter would probably have sufficed. But his job was not to decide what was worthy of investigating. And the Dragoons were likely starting them slow and easy. But he couldn't help himself, he had to ask. "Sergeant, are we to bag this bear and put it back to its bed, kill it and give it to the villagers, scare it off? Offer it a place onboard? I can't see why a bear wandering in a woods is worthy of investigation?"

Ryfte Posted September 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) "The cold?" Ash grins as a slow whirl of snowflakes appears around her and the temperature drops in the immediate area. She winks, "It won't be a problem! I mean, I might throw on another layer but other than that I'll be fine." She'd met Uraga and seen her on more than one occasion and she knew that the Dragoon's weren't bad guys but she still found it difficult to be around her. The memories of her village and the pirate invaders too fresh for her to be comfortable in the sergeant's presence. Despite her discomfort she stays the course unflinching, and remains in line with the others. "If there's snow, and its deep, I might find it difficult to move through I suppose. Still, even then, if I'm not in front of the line I don't expect it will be an issue as those of you ahead of me will simply tramp down any snow ahead of me." OoC Summary: ??? Reaction: ??

Inquisitor D Posted September 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 7, 2023 The princess salutes Sargent Uraga sharply, before letting her squadmates take point with the questions. She doesn't have anything in mind, truly. There's a strange bear. They have to work out what it's doing there, and if there's a problem, they'll fix it. Simple enough. She's not excited for the cold, but one problem at a time. Still, there's one issue that does occur to the strange noble. Or rather, a possibility. "Just how isolated is this village, Sargent? They don't speak the common tongue, but would a basic familiarity with Granarctian be enough to talk with them?" She grins, righting her glasses as she already starts to think ahead. "Having the village chief as a contact is a good start. But we want the whole village on our side. The more people we can speak with, the better impression we can leave. 'The strange foreign mercenaries the Chief brought in' won't be as well remembered as 'those friends from the Dragoons who helped us work out that mystery bear problem', right?"

He listens to the lizardfolk and noble woman, wondering if the sheer energetic cheerfulness was going to be the end of him. With a roll of his shoulders he sighs. "You assume they want to talk. Some people just prefer you stay out of their business and will appreciate you more if you don't try to make friends," he says, turning his attention back to the sergeant.

She listens to the company think out loud, aware that there are two streams of dialogue, the first, Vega's exclusively, being about the bear and the second, everyone else, being about how to survive the cold in winter. So, once more she finds herself following Vega's lead.. "If a bear is walking around in winter and bears don't walk around in winter then perhaps its not a bear.", she offers up, in the kind of dreamlike tone that suggests she's thinking out loud. Continuing with her logic tree, as one might expect from one of the arcane.. "And if it's not a bear, and its actions suggest it's not, then what else can take the shape of a bear? Druid? Fey?Shapeshifter?" A ghost of a smile flits across her face as she throws in an aside.. "Anyone got silver?" Pursing her lips, clearly taken with curiosity of what might be, she continues.. "If it hasn't been seen before in the area, then why is it in the area now? If it is a bear, then it won't be food, it's winter. Searching for something? Something the villagers have taken?" She shrugs, clearly happy to let others continue the conversation.

Is there a connnection between the bear and the talk of trapping? Heavens knows life in Granartica is hard and you sell anything not nailed down, then take a crowbar to anything nailed down to hold starvation at bay.* At this point she glances over at Crastug, who is clearly carrying a crowbar. *Yes, he has the right idea. Wonder if he's Granartican too?*. Being Granartican, also explains her lack of knowledge about muster lines, since people of her land are merely exploited to the point of want and beyond and not subject to the military conscription that Vega has already spoken of. Her ignorance of such things might explain why she starts to head over to Crastug and look in the bag, only to stop and returning to the muster line after a couple of steps, looking somewhat abashedly at the Sergeant to see if she'll get reprimanded. * Note to self.
