"HI GUYS! BYE GUYS!!"

Doogan looks up and sees his captin talking to some fat guy.

"Gonna get right on that job as soon as the room stops spinning sir!"

Zero hears a loud thud as the gnome hits the tavern roof.

Gnomes. I'll be damned if I ever meet one that isn't an idiot.

Zero flew off into the sky and circled around, searching for the Mage School.

The captain didn\'t turn his head, Flinch, or in any way acknowledge the fact a gnome fell from the roof except for saying
"Why thank you Doog I expect your excellent diligence on the matter.
"He never looked away from what is now a very contorted face on a very fat and confused man who said "...A Gnome...Fell...Gnome.. From the roof..."

The captian replied
"Yes yes its been known to happen from time to time"
to a look of utter incredibility on the face of the merchant as his guards were being beaten to a pulp by a very distracted Liam who seems not to have noticed Doog and his servants back away from the rather bizzare situation.
"but..But..."

"If I told you it was a prototype for my new Gnomish Weapons line would it make you feel better?"

"oh god.. is it"

"Not yet, but give me a few days, in any case I have a proposition for you..." And with the he takes a seat and begins to explain the offer has has to make. And soon the merchant forgets the fact a tiny magical creature fell from the sky and starts to contemplate the lucrative plan being set before him.

"What the shit? Was that Doog?"

*BOOM*

"Oh how I love you Doog, without you, my day just wouldn't be complete, heh."

*James sees Faceless flying off*

"Smog-Boy! When you find the school, just find me around here! I'll have worked up a disguise by the time you find it!"

*James lands on dry land, with not a single drop of water on him. He steps off, reaches into his robes, and pulls out his little 'Mage Notebook'. All of James' books can only be read by him, and if anyone else tries to read them, they go insane from the mental traps and other surprises found in every mages' books. Though another good mage could MAYBE crack the traps, James had no worries as there weren't many Mages his level around him often. James turns the book to Alteration and Illusions, and begins messing with his medallions strapped around his neck*

As the four men began to surround the captain, Liam quickly got behind one of the grunts and mutterd to him: "Wrong target"

The grunt didnt even got a chance to trun arround when lima quickly stricked him in the throath with the side of his hand, the man gasped and quickly fell down trying to get some air, the other three men turned towards Liam and quickly unsheated their swords.

As they did this, Liam smiled and pulled out his both tachis from outside of his coat and swung the fiercely against the two men with swords at the sides, The force and velocity of the swing knocked the sword from one of the man and the other stagerred as he blocked the strike, Liam them stepped toward the man in the center, evading the clumsy swipe he gave at him and got close enough to hit him in the face with one of the hilt of his blades, knocking him out cold.

He then quickly turned at his side and launched a swift swipe to the staggered grunt, the swipe cut across the side of the arm of the grunt, making him release the blade and writhe in pain, the remaining grunt didnt even bother to pick up his sword, he was now too busy tackling the tavern´s tables trying to escape.

(Decided to divide my post in two so it can make a bit more sense.)

Doogan picks himself up and dusts himself off. This kicks up quite a dustcloud. he checks and makes sure nothings broken. Good my spyglass is intact. Also make mental note. Catapulting crew to rival ships feasable.

Doog sees the Bartenders eyes go from the gnome to the hole in his roof back to the gnome. The bartender looks like he cant decide to start shouting bloody murder or break down crying.

Right time to tell a lie

Doog steps up to the bar, hops on a barstool, looks the bartender right in the eye.

"SO THERE I WAS minding my own busness taking a nap in the catapult when Brutis...you know Brutis right..anyway Brutis comes up and testfires the damned thing..you know how orcs are right? Good soldiers but not much going on upstairs. Any way i find myself flying through the air and i'm just fine untill your damned roof gets in my way.. realy you should put up a sign like "THERE'S A ROOF HERE" ... chap could get really hurt you know.. but now that i look at it that hole makes for a realy nice skylight..i realy should charge you for it... well man get me a drink and make it snappy...on you of course."

The bartender sighs and hands Doog a drink.

Liam had enjoyed himself so much he didnt even noticed doog had landed into the bar and had scared away the remaining servants around the fat guy, seeing as his captain quickly began to talk with the business man, he walked toward doog and sneered at him:

"Way to crash a party, huh dwarf?"

That looks like the right place.

He spun around in place, then descended towards the building in a long, spiraling, serpent-like cloud. He made no effort to conceal himself. He was signaling the location to the others.

Doogan sips his drink. Liam saunters over after dispatching some rough looking thugs and makes a snide comment.
good for him. now lets show him how its done

"Look Liam i know you want to try it too but i keep telling you those swords of yours cause too much lift. you'd miss the ground completely. Next thing you know captin would be making me figure out a way to harpoon you out of the sky with one of the balistas and....wait... so when do you want to launch?"

(((<<Back on the Ship>>)))

A lookout informs Daniel of the smoke signal.
Daniel takes notations and starts formula on the distance and position.
He leaves them on a note which he attaches to the catapult he found The Gunner laying in.

The note with the formulas read: "Birthday present! Are gnomes born or is there all All Gnome collective and you pop from magic? Get back to me" There is also a Sketch on the Note.

Zero spiraled towards the roof once he saw James' signal. He spied an open window on the top floor and slipped inside. Luckily, it was empty. He solidified and began searching for anything related to the alchemist the captain was talking about.

Doogan finishes his drink leaves a few silver coins on the bartable. Enough to fix the simple roof and pay for his drink. after all he might want to drink here again. stepping outside into the light he sees a smoke signal on the horizon. Good about time i got some info

Doogan presses the "Tele-Pin" James had given him.

"Hey James what kind of walls are we looking at over there?"

James sees Zero make it perfectly into the tower without trouble, and is about to enter a tower when...

*BBZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEERRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!!*

"GAH!"

James grabs his 'Tele-Pin' and adjusts the power on it, James hearing nearly shot from that.

".....kind of wall are we looking at over there?" Said the pin to him.

Hmmm... note to self, gnomes seem to have adverse effects on 'Tele-Pins'.

James pressed on his Pin, keeping his voice loud enough to hear, but low enough to not warrant any gaurds getting his attention.
"The walls aren't that thick, maybe 20 feet of hard-molded rock walls, enhanced with Durability magic. Likely, tough like standard protocol dictates for most places, tough like a mountain face, but if someone were to make the enhancements disappear, for whatever reason, it'll become just another wall."

James smiles, then thinks a second and pushes the pin again. "But if there's going to be any surprises Doog, warn me, as the last time I remember I had to blast my way out of a ruined Cathedral. THE ENTIRE CATHEDRAL DOOG WAS ON MY FUCKING HEAD!........ So some heads up would be nice."

James then clicked the Pin off, and walked to the tower where the teachers and staff usually had their offices.
