His vision still blurry, the man's eyes flutter open slowly, as he spits water mixed with vomit through his mouth and nose.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
Yarl heads towards the Cat. He feels great relief at not being dead and at the save from the Lizard. He is almost giddy but a small part of his mind says, "get out of the water, then be happy"

Lesh
With Yarl on their way to the dock he dives and looks around for others in the water.
OOC: Perception to find them and athletics to save them.
Perception : [1d20+5]=19+5=24
Athletics: [1d20+2]=14+2=16

Ambergris
Makes a decision that his favoured 'Green Turtle soup' is going off the menu to honour his lifesaver.
He looks at the carnage around and the devastation of the wave. Helping others to shore and scanning the harbour for the Crushing Wave cultists.

Tommy
Seeing Lesh swim to the dock with Yarl in tow, Tommy moves quickly to help. Tight behind them, the giant head of Cholms emerges, snapping at their heels. Tommy tries to pull Yarl and Tell faster to evade the great turtle's jaws but relaxes slightly when he sees Ambergris on its shell.
He eyes Ambergris and mutters, "The devil takes care of its own, I guess," before continuing his efforts to get Yarl and Tell onto the dock.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
The appearance of Ol' Cholms does little to quell the overall panic going on in and out of the water. Many folk call upon Tymora or Umberlee to save them, while others try to scramble ashore. "Eat good. Many morsels get in my belly!" the great turtle growls, even though only Ambergris can understand him at the moment...and perhaps Lesh, who is too busy diving and trying to save others from drowning.
With the combined efforts of Tommy and Hazm, Yarl is hauled out of the water, looking much like a...well, a drowned rat. The kingpin looks around a moment and spies a woman with dark hair bent over the new guy, Telurion, who has barfed all over himself and the dock and is struggling to breathe.
Ambergris lightly steps off the back of Ol' Cholms who turns bumps into the docks, and raises its head to regard the warlock with ageless eyes. "Until the sea call you home, old sea dog," it says, turning and diving back into the depths of the harbor. Folks who have half their wits about them, regard Ambergris with wide eyes and mouths agape. Even some of the Flaming Fist are taken back by the sight of the man who rode...was rescued by?...the terror of Gray Harbor.
Hacking and spitting, Telurion feels rough hands wipe his face and he blinks though bleary eyes to see an angel looking down on him. He blinks a few more times and realizes it is not an angel; his stomach and lungs hurt too much for him to be in the afterlife, so he deducts he must still be on this side of the veil. No, it is not an angel, but it is a woman with a lovely face. Talian. She laughs and pulls him too her, holding him tightly. He looks over her shoulder and sees Hazm and Yarl looking in his direction, obviously confused.
In the harbor, people are drowning and others are sinking and drowning, and Lesh has trouble distinguishing between the two; if it weren't for some actually flailing about, he wouldn't know which to save first. The strong shaman does all he can to keep Kelemvor from claiming some of their souls, rising many to the surface where Haim and the survivors of the Harbor Hands grab them and haul them out of the harbor. This goes on until there are none left to save or none who he is able to save...which actually doesn't take very long at all; it seems humans and such drown fairly quickly.
Once Lesh hauls himself out of the harbor, he is quite tired, but seeing his companions have survived the chaos brings him some relief and he approaches them gladly. Ambergris is looking around the docks and in the water, but there is no sign of the Crushing Wave cultists; they either drowned or...
"I need some answers from you," comes a sharp tone, breaking Ambergris' attention to the living and the dead. A ranking member of the Flaming Fist, along with three others, stand a few feet away. "It seems you and your friends are always a part of some catastrophe and if it ain't burning down churches, it's drowning half the city! What's going on here?"

Telurion
"Talian...?" - the man stammered - "Is it really you..?" - his frown slowly gave way to a smile - "I thought... I don't know what I thought..." - he is clearly still confused from his recent ordeal.
Shaking the surprise away, he returns the hug, holding her close and whispering in her ear- "I have missed you! Why did you leave like that?"
After a long moment, he turns to he new companions - "This is Talian, my mentor and close friend" - he explains - "We... Had not seen each other in some time" - and after shaking the shock of encountering her, is reminded of what may have happened to others - "Is everyone ok after that wave?" - he asked.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
Yarl feels intense joy at the fact that he isn't dead. His giddiness manifests in his eager helping of others when he may not have been so quick on another day. When the Lizard emerges from the water Yarl wraps him in a crushing bearhug. I owe you one! He exclaims loudly. You saved my ass fer sure he says while releasing Lesh and patting him on the back with true affection. I thought I was. done.... he trails off as the Fist arrive.
Yarl shrugs at Hazm and glares at the Fist officer.
Why don't you tell us? he exclaims. First there was a bombing in Rivington and now this. The Gods damn cultists are outta hand, this is their work. If it wasn't fer us, it woulda been worse. Yarl isn't actually sure how it could have been worse considering but its better to commit to a statement then to doubt ones self. Why does the Fist only show up after everything has gone ta shit? asks the bootless wet kingpin.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
"You watch your tone, asshole!" the Flaming Fist officer retorts. "For all we know YOU caused this! Another attempt to do some of your handiwork, just like the church business a few months back. Cults my ass! You and the Urchin got balls bigger than Balderan over there. And don't think we are foolish enough to turn a blind eye to someone trying to kill off the Vanthampur family!"Computer +1 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 1:21 am Why don't you tell us? he exclaims.

The Manip is about to say something else, when two of his guards approach with "You're needed by the dock, Manip."
The officer gives Yarl another glare, saying, "Keep an eye on this rat and his friends. I'll be back."

Eager enough to leave the dock area and find any trace of surviving Crushing Wave cultists.
He gathers with Tommy & Lesh.
"Best beat it while we can. Let's find that priest."

Hazm tries to stay out of the argument with the fist. She tries to nonchalantly scan the area for a good route to exit under cover if need be.

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
Early Morning at the Docks of Gray Harbor - Putting Names With Faces
While Ambergris gathers his two companions, Lesh and Tommy, Hazm is standing off a few feet and looking for some means to escape. Meanwhile, the Flaming Fist guards continue to watch Yarl (who is abnormally silent), and the others who are huddled or hugging on the docks.
Ambergris suggests going in search of the priest, but before the trio can move on, the "drowned" man in armor, untangles himself from the woman named Talian, and introduces her to Yarl and Hazm. "This is Talian, my mentor and close friend" - he explains - "We... Had not seen each other in some time" - and after shaking the shock of encountering her, is reminded of what may have happened to others - "Is everyone ok after that wave?" - he asks.
"Hey Blacktongue!" says Haim, leader of the Harbor Hands, walking up to the kingpin. "You guys alright? I think I lost at least a couple of men. Where's True?"
Talian frowns and glances around, her eyes a bit wild. "I thought you knew. I'm being...someone is out to kill me."

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
Tommy’s fur bristles as he sees Ambergris. "You're a fucking wildcard! Why did you do that?" he snaps, shaking his head in frustration. "I can't believe you just went and toppled the table—why?" He tries to calm himself, realizing his own idea wasn’t that great either.
Taking a deep breath, he looks around, holding back further outbursts. "Yeah, we best move," he nods, glancing at Yarl, hoping they'll also avoid the guards' attention. "We'll try to go after the priests. Are you up for it?"

Re: New Year, New Faces, New Troubles
Yarl is about to burst out at the Fist but he stops himself. Soaking wet with no boots and just a knife is not the best time to roll with those fucks and Yarl is not surprised they dont believe him. Dumb shits get almost everything wrong.
Yarl is kind of lost in his own head when Haim’s question cuts through. His heart skips and he feels a rising panic. Where the fuck is True?
Fuck I havent seen him. TRUE!!! he calls out and looks around wildly.

Ambergris
Figures not to suggest the were-panther phantasm playing ball with the Orb might have contributed to the flooding disaster.
"We should be calm, as the harbour. But let's get those cultists before the wreak more havoc."
The priest had the mental premonition to go into the Upper City. So let's go check those gates and take it from there.

Telurion
Still reeling from the shock of seeing Talian alive and her revelation about someone wanting to kill her, Telurion's mind races with a mix of relief and concern. As he holds her close, he whispers urgently, "We have to get you to safety. Who's after you? How did they find you?"
As Yarl alerts them to the absence of True, Telurion is suddenly alarmed, and begins also looking for the elf - "Did anyone see him fall in?!"
