Little Green Man

Gian was standing on top of the Ravenstorm’s sterncastle. He was currently overseeing the repairs on one of the four binding struts that support the ship’s elemental ring.

As he was about to fortify the struts with one of his magical enchantment, Gian heard a pair of arguing voices coming from within the Lyrandar docking tower. Judging from the sound, it was obvious that the captain and the bookkeeper have returned and that both their missions to the city did not go according to plan.

“I told you we couldn’t trust the wizard's guild to provide us with any job!” Coreen nagged as she walked beside her half-elf companion.

“It’s not my fault the guild doesn’t have any job it can offer us for now.” Devlin ran his hand thru his now unruly hair. “Besides, it’s not as if your own contacts came up with something that could help our situation!”

Coreen looked like she was lost for words. She quickly stomped off, down the ship’s stairs heading for the crew cabins.

Taking his cue, Gian swung down from where he was and gracefully landed on the main deck in front of the Lyrandar captain.

“If you two are done fighting; There’s someone who has been waiting for your return,” Gian stated.

"A visitor?" Devlin asked.

"He arrived shortly after you guys left."

Gian led Devlin towards the ship’s forecastle where a jade green warforged was standing by the ship’s rail, watching the city below.

As the captain and the artificer approached, the warforged looked up and moved towards them.

Other than its color it was obvious that the warforged appeared a bit unusual. Unlike many of it’s kind it had a shorter, leaner and more refined body. Something not suited for a regular warforged.

“Excuse me, but I am looking for a particular individual, a certain Devlin Sain d’Lyrandar.”

Gian quickly introduced the warforged to the captain.

“I am Herald, a loyal servant of Popora ir’Boromar. Lord Popora desires a meeting to discuss a matter both of great urgency and extreme delicacy. The Lord requests you attend an audience with him and is willing to compensate well for both your time and attention.”
