Send in the Claude's

[Asinjin]

A decision before we begin on Thursday as to what you are going to do with the gnome would be helpful.  Mostly, are you planning on spending more than one night in Tripsea.

[Asinjin]

Once you are in the city, it becomes increasingly clear Tripsea's purpose is much what you are using it for, a way port as ships travel.  Often that trip is from one end of Icefia to the other, but other voyages are common as well.  As mentioned, one of the three largest Icefian naval bases is here, to the west of the city as you near it.  In addition, there are many dry docks, nearly as many as wet non naval docks.

Ancorage is a good example if you want to google a picture view of it.  The city has just under 100,000 people.

I'd prefer not to take him, but I'd also like to avoid any Imperial Entanglements.


Choice 1: throw the bugger into the brig, allow him to wallow there.  Next creature that comes along needing to kill claude we feed the bazarro claude.. and the multi-verse his happy.  We live happily ever after.


Choice 2:  Leave now, and never come back to Icefia.  Hoping he doesn't have enough coin to rent a boat that can bother us.


Choice 3:  Try to "legally" deal with this. Retaining the ability to dock here.

Amare says, "We want to keep Icefia friendly to us.  We move so fast that time is not of the essence.  I say we do things legally."

Agreed.  We should find out what we can about him then hand him over to the authorities.  Lingering around here too long will attract unwanted attention.

Isn’t “attracting unwanted attention” part of our ship’s mission statement?

Amare says, "I nominate Gabriel to take the gnome to the authorities.  He is an Icefia and knows the laws better than most on the ship."

[Zunder]

We keep saying " hand him over to the authorities "  but I believe he's done nothing wrong.  In fact, he just defended himself.   So this may not go well.


I say we offer him a place on the crew in case we run into another .. um.. winged monster.. in a chance to prove that HE is the true Claude.  Which we all know he'll fail at.  But.. he's a hero underneath, so he'll jump at the chance.  ( with no pay of course )

[Asinjin]

Amare says, "He approached and threaten our crew and we subdued him without permanent harm.  Unless Icefia's laws are not typical, we will be fine."

[Windblade]

I think we will be fine as long as tell the authorities the truth.  Icefia has pretty reasonable laws. 

[master po]

Gabriel is willing to act as liaison with the Icefian authorities. 

[Hero]

Ssaskra will lend support to Gabriel.

[Hero]

We quickly realized that this creature was one of many possible unfortunate side effects of Claude's wish to have "more of himself."  We stopped there.

Wonder if we will run into a draconic version of Claude named "Clawed"?

[Malchia]

I'd be disappointed if we didn't. 

I wonder if Claude could sacrifice one of his doppelgangers to pay XP at Natsu's Emporium?  We may have found an infinite XP source for item creation...
