Project Aquarius A commotion is raised in the port town as an important-looking High Elf makes his way through the town followed by a sturdy Dwarven woman clinging to the arm of a 6 foot Forgeborn followed by several other Elves and Dwarves who don't look important at all. When they arrive at the ship's docking, the High Elf motions with his hand and the entourage gets into position to begin hoisting it onto deck with the ship's pulley. The High Elf approaches one of the crew. "Yes, would you please inform your captain that Associate Director Briarwood has- BE CAREFUL YOU BUFFOONS; THAT THING COSTS MORE THAN ALL YOUR HIDES COMBINED- arrived?" The Forgeborn and pulley operators collapse on deck simultaneously. The Dwarf runs to the machine's side. "Are you alright, dear? That didn't hurt did it? Excuse me, sir, could you help me stand him up? Hi, Metallurgy Overseer Moltenshell, how are you? On the count of 3: 1, 2, 3! There. That better, sweetie? Thank you for your help, by the way." Briarwood's shouting can be heard from the other side of town. "Oh dear. I'd better go check on him. You go introduce yourself to everyone, sweetie. I'll be right back." As Moltenshell heads towards Briarwood and the unfortunate crew member, the Forgeborn makes his way to a group of obviously quaking deckhands. "I AM DESIGNATED AQUARIUS. AS PART OF MY PROTOCOL, I AM AUTHORIZED TO BE PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE." Icon rolls (Dwarf King, Elf Queen, The Three): 4, 3, 5. Let me know if the sheet works this time.

Aquarius Aquarius manages to shake hands with Hydros as Briarwood sneers. "Bah! I don't answer to you, ruffian. I have important business with the captain." "Oh you know we're just dropping off the manual. We don't need to stand on ceremony. Hi, Metallurgy Overseer Moltenshell, nice to meet you. Oh I do hope y'all and Aquarius become good friends. Poor boy; had to spend his whole life cooped up in a lab, you know." "Can it! It's obvious we're not needed here so we'll be leaving then. Here." Briarwood hands a massive leather-bound book Thomas. "If Aquarius is to answer to you, then you'll need this. It'll tell you everything you need to know; It is essential that you read that cover to cover." "Oh he says that, but really he runs himself honestly. Still, it would be best to keep that in a safe place just in case." "Whatever. Just know I'm not taking the blame if something goes wrong." He addresses Aquarius. "Aquarius. I am transferring ownership to..." He grimaces. "...The crew of the Nemesis." "...CONFIRMED." "Good. ...Make me proud." Briarwood storms off. "Bye, sweetie. Stay safe. Bring us home a nice souvenir, like a Dragon skull maybe." Aquarius kneels down and Moltenshell kisses him on what you assume is the cheek. "COME ON, WANDA; WE GOT poo poo TO DO!" Moltenshell runs off, stopping to wave goodbye at the gangplank before chasing after Briarwood. Aquarius turns to Haggrast. "I AM DESIGNATED AQUARIUS: A COLLABORATION OF DWARVEN METALLURGY AND ELVISH MAGICS DESIGNED FOR MARITIME TRANSPORT AND CONFLICT."

Project Aquarius Aquarius loads another harpoon and takes aim at the remaining archer. Ranged attack vs. Archer: 1d20+4+3=26. Damage: 1d8+3=11. Oh wow. Twice in a row. "TARGET LOCKED." The harpoon tears through the back of the archer's skull and lodges itself in its mouth, stopping short of hitting Hydros. If its screaming, you couldn't understand it. pre:Project Aquarius, Ranger 1 HP 33/33; Recoveries 8/8 (1d8+4) AC 18 PD 15 MD 11 STR 14/+2 DEX 16/+3 CON 18/+4 INT 10/+0 WIS 12/+1 CHA 8/-1 +5 Imprinted Memories of Sailors, +3 Surprisingly Durable Equip: Harpoon gun, Wrist-mount blade, Light metal plating, 25gp
