The large Minotaur arrives at the front of the Skien gate and coughs loudly, announcing himself to its arcane caretaker. The gate flashes to life in a whirling display of power that sets his hairs on end as the spectral gate guardian makes his presence known.
"Passage to the Island of Zenithstrand, payment has already been settled." He says somewhat nervously, clearly uncomfortable.
Before he steps through the gate, Thelonius turns his head and looks down the path, checking for anyone rushing up for last minute goodbyes.
Stepping forth from the forest beside the gate, the tall and lanky form of an Orc in colourful clothes carrying a large keg upon his shoulder chuckles as he approaches. His grin is wide as he holds out a hand to the Minotaur.
"Most radical mornin' to ya big fella, ya'll heading out already? It be chill if so, be comin' round again if ya can ya dig? Always a smooth groove ta get good folk flowing through this town. This Chieftain be praying ta tha' spirits fer ya safe travels."
-Wizwik walks over- "Hey Thelonius~ Heading out I see, even though it was short our time catching up it was good to see you again. Safe travels and Iron keep you safe" he extends a hand up for a handshake with a smile on his face-
Addis meandered out if the forest path to the ancient gate, looking at the gathered. "Until we meet again Thelonius, keep the idiots safe and see to that... problem group in my absence." He stepped over and extended his scaled hand as the others did.
Thelonius shakes each of their hands in turn.
"Aye Capri, my shores are calling me but I'll be back eventually, if only for the food you serve!" He laughs heartily.
He nods at Wizwik. "Yeah, its been good to see you again as well my diminutive friend. Were my people on Zenithstrand not gathering this evening I would stay a few more weeks, but alas, duty calls. Iron keep you safe as well."
Thelonius winks at Addis. "I've got a plan for those people, kinda proud of how clever it is actually. I'll let you know how it all shakes out in a few days, but if it works I won't even need to life my blade."
Sevatar leans against a tree watching the Minotaur. He is whistling softly for anyone close enough to hear. A tune that has become annoyingly familiar. He is waving towards the gate.
The draconian returned the wink, "Make me proud, clever is the best game to play. Without raising your blade no less, I do hope you will keep me informed on this endeavour."
"I'll do that Addis, stay safe."
Thelonius waves goodbye to the assembled figures one last time before taking up the song Sevatar is humming himself. As he disappears through the gate, the song seems to hang in the wind for a brief period before being blown away.
