[X] "Well met, Yrten Sword-Sunder. I must admit, the Golden Wind is truly an impressive vessel. Rarely have I seen its equal." We can flatter you so hard your brain dribbles out of your ears, but we'll rein ourselves in for now. But be aware that we find your ship pleasing to the eye, and should you attempt to double-cross us, it will make a fine addition to my hoard. Addressing the Tiefling Mage, "Greeting, Wisdom, we have not yet been introduced. I am known as Scalathrax Ashbringer." -[X] "My retinue and I have just returned from translocating three Efreeti Turtle Vessels, captured by sword, spell, and claw less than an hour ago, to my realm far from the Plane of Fire. Although two were taken completely intact, I regret our enthusiasm was too great for the third to withstand. Still, I am certain my vassals are capable of salvaging something of worth from its broken keel." --[X] "The Efreeti overseers were slain, of course, but the remaining crews seemed quite amenable to entering my service." ---[X] "I believe our credentials speak for themselves, yes? And what of you and your crew, Sword-Sunder? A fine vessel and skilled crew does not necessarily make one capable of successfully taking a Devil-crewed treasure barge." -[X] Varys will relay to us the pertinent information she is able to glean using Mindsight, including the number of Intelligent crew members, and whether there are any Efreeti or Devils aboard. -[X] Ask of Yrten what he knows of our prey, its crew of Devils and other malignant beings, and whether or not it has escorts, and how many.
[x] Excepting Waymar, for his talents obviously lie in another direction, the least spellcaster among us is of the sixth circle.
-[x] As for where I was, why, I've just finished transporting three captured Efreeti Turtle Ships back to my realm not a few moments ago. They were a decent bit of sport, so I assume that's enough?
--[x] Point out the divine casters on the group.
-[x] If you wish to know more, perhaps you should lean on any contacts you have on Armun Kelisk or the Opaline Vault.
-[x] Ask about her skills, and the crew's.
--[x] If they expect half the spoils, they better pull half of the weight.
-[x] Ask if they have more information on the target, or an actual plan.

Addressing the Tiefling Mage, "Greeting, Wisdom, we have not yet been introduced. I am known as Scalathrax Ashbringer." -[X] "I do dabble in scholarly pursuits on occasion, and would be happy to trade tales, lore and perhaps some items of power but battle is upon us soon. -[X] Excepting the two very fine Knights here, those with me are mages of the sixth circle or higher. -[X] For injuries, *point to Tyene* my ally here has a paradime well suited to that problem, as do *point to Dany* and myself, if to a lesser extent. -[X] What circle have you reached, and in what direction do your talents lie? (Generalist, transmuting, blasting). -[X] What can you tell us of the ship in question (You mentioned divinations)? Does it have escorts. What weapons and known or likely wardings are we likely to face. Do you have an idea of crew numbers on the ship generally? What is your current plan of attack, and how fast can this ship get to the target? -[X] Varys will relay to us the pertinent information she is able to glean using Mindsight, including the number of Intelligent crew members, and whether there are any Efreeti or Devils aboard.
