You may want to mention that a Dominion guard comes by to check on the commotion. If witnesses back up that the dead guys were the aggressors, then they probably wouldn't arrest them.
Hmm, something I probably should have mentioned at some point is that, while it is possible for mercenaries to be a part of this team, it is really a lot easier for characters to be associated with governments. Ashley worked with Rareth before, so she came well-recommended from Rareth. Hail, do you think it would be possible for Ashley to have known reganza's character at some point, that way she could recommend him as well?
Noelle is playing quite the dangerous game with that illusion. Sharee's punishment for deception like that might be a bit...painful.
Sharee was quite liking the tea. It was soothing to drink, almost to the point that it made her forget about her headache. She started on her breakfast as well, and for a moment, tried thinking of a way to get Noelle to do this for her every morning. That would probably end up being too inconvenient, though, since she had duties in the infirmary. She could probably just get Allaina to do it, perhaps move her back into the captain's cabin again.
Even if it did sound like complaining, Noelle brought up valid points that Sharee really couldn't ignore. It took a lot more than weapons and armor to run a successful pirate vessel, and at this point, they weren't exactly doing well on the armor. "Honestly, I don't really like that we had to take off all those plates, but those Imperial markings would get us killed in Dominion waters just as fast as anything. We aren't doing well financially right now, so I'm hoping to sell some of the raw materials we took off for some replacements. Find the right buyer and they won't care about the markings. Actually, if there are any other pirate vessels docked, we might be able to sell it to them. Imperial markings would make it a bit easier to operate in Imperial waters. At any rate, I have no particular interest in letting my crew die, so we'll be getting supplies for the infirmary as soon as we can. It might not be a lot of supplies, but it will be something. As for the garden thing, I think I said before what you have to do. If you can deal with watering the plants, you can do it. We have to carry enough water for the crew, and we don't have the ability to carry a lot of extra water around for plants. However, as an alchemist, I know there are ways to separate salt from seawater. It's not efficient enough to get drinking water for a whole ship, but you might be able to use that process to water some plants. I'm not going to do it, but as long as you are willing to worry about desalinating the seawater, you can have your garden. " Sharee answered. As she was talking, she couldn't help but to look over Noelle a bit suggestively. For some inexplicable reason, Noelle seemed oddly appealing. Sharee couldn't help but to feel that something was amiss. It wasn't normal for her, and she wanted to get to the bottom of it. "You know, you're looking pretty good right now." She commented.

Sure, I can talk for a while.
There are, and we can discuss it in PM.
Indeed there is. I am still giving everyone time to read up and get their bios ready.
"The fight was not fair, Sabine. The Master-Hunter never intended to give you a chance, it was not your fault. Just rest, let me heal you. It will all be alright." Meesei said, trying to comfort Sabine. She stood completely to her feet with Sabine in her arms and continued to treat her wounds with healing magic. None of her injuries were particularly threatening, but she was sure it was still a jarring experience for her.
Thorantilth sighed, shaking his head and looking down to his son. "The Master-Hunter was just looking for an excuse to attack. No matter how justified, she did attack Wulanxeex, so he used that. He answered. Looking down at Sabine in Meesei's arms, he held a concerned and sympathetic expression. She did not look too badly hurt, and Meesei seemed to have it well in hand, so all he could do was comfort her on her performance. "Do not worry, this fight is void. Zharanthixil stepped far over the line in this. If you are willing to undergo the trial again, after a period of rest of course, it will be with an opponent of my choosing, not his."
Kaleeth took one of Janius' hands in hers, then placed her other on his cheek. "I just...I didn't want any of this to happen. I feel like I caused so much pain for you and your friends. I love you, but...maybe this is bad idea. Maybe we are causing too many problems by...no!" She shouted suddenly, interrupting herself. She reached out and hugged Janius as tightly as she could. "We can't give in, it's not right. That is what he wants me to do. I can't let him win. He is a...what is word? Bully, he bullies you. Tries to hurt me, you, your friends. If we give up, it will...validate him. I'm not giving up."

If we give up, it will...validate him. I'm not giving up."
Thorantilth agreed with Janius and hastily spoke up. "Wulanxeex, stop! The fight is over." He shouted. The boy had his club raised in the air, but stopped mid-swing and looked up to the treeminder. He was about to get off of Sabine, but then Zharanthixil decided to interject.
"No, she has not submitted yet. You say she is strong? Prove it. Wulanxeex, continue the fight." Zharanthixil said, barking the order to the hunter initiate.
"What? No, that is ridiculous. Wulanxeex, get off of her, you've won the fight." Thorantilth said with desperation in his voice and a shocked expression. He knew of the Master-Hunter's bias against outsiders, but he could hardly believe that someone who had so selflessly protected his village would be capable of such cruelty.
Fight her! Zharanthixil shouted, which was enough to make his confused initiate stop thinking and just act. He reared back with his club and started a swing towards her head.
And that was all it took.
Meesei immediately lashed out with a well-aimed telekinesis spell that sent Wulanxeex flying head over heels and landing a few feet away, while leaving Sabine untouched. Her action was the excuse Zharanthixil needed to finally draw his weapon. Taking the spear off his back, he rushed at Meesei with his weapon poised to impale her through the chest. She, however, had other plans. Launching an even stronger telekinetic blast, she ripped the weapon out of his hands when he was only a few feet in front of him. Meesei followed through quickly with a lighting bolt just strong enough to stun him, then a very satisfying punch in the jaw to knock him to the ground. The other hunters in the area had bows and spears drawn, but were too uncertain about the confusing situation to take action. It took Zharanthixil a few moments to recover from Meesei's surprise attack, but his response was almost predictable.
"Kill her!" Zharanthixil ordered, but Thorantilth stepped in almost instantly. He moved in front of Meesei, between her and the archers aiming at her.
"You kill her, then you kill me as well." The Treeminder declared, stopping the hunters in their tracks.
"You traitor! Not only did she interfere and violate the sanctity of the fight, but she attacked me as well." Zharanthixil shouted. His expression was completely earnest, showing that he was fully convinced of what he was saying.
"She violated nothing. It was you that decided to tarnish the spirit of this trial. The fight was over, the Breton had lost. Your order to your initiate was nothing but wanton cruelty. Enough is enough, I am taking a stand. Over the past few days, myself and Reanaseer have been tolerating your behavior. Your complaints, your attempts to have our guests exiled. Every flimsy point and loose interpretation of our traditions that you have presented have been met with patience and understanding, but no more. It is clear to me that your blind hatred of any non-Saxhleel prevents you from having any rational input in this situation. You have consistently violated the teachings of the Hist that we all strive to follow. I am going to speak to Reanaseer about having you removed from any consideration as to the proceedings of the Trials, or the Ritual itself. Thorantilth responded. He looked across the hunters around them who, while they still held weapons in hand, looked confused and unsure. He sighed, then tried to give them some direction. "Just...return to your homes. There is no threat here."
Meanwhile, Meesei was staring down Zharanthixil, who was returning her scowl. He thought he was a skilled fighter, and indeed, he probably was, but no matter what he could do, Meesei could do it better, and she wanted him to know that. If he left them alone from here on out, she would leave him alone, but she would take no threat to herself or her pack lightly. As Zharanthixil said nothing further, they slowly began to return to their homes one by one. The Master-Hunter had picked up his spear and brought himself to his knees, but after a few moments of staring at his weapon, he slammed it down on the ground in frustration, stood up, then stormed off towards his own hut.
Meesei wasted no time after the threat was gone to turn her attention to Sabine. She practically ran over to her and dropped down on her knees beside her. She put her arms under her, then lifted her up off the ground. Meesei held Sabine close to her own body and began to pour restoration energy into her body. The tide of magic swept over her like a soothing balm, numbing almost all of the pain and accelerating her healing. "Do not worry, they will harm you no longer. I said I would not let them hurt you, and I meant it."
By this point, Kaleeth was sitting on the ground next to a tree with her head buried in her hands, crying from the emotional stress of the entire situation. Everything just seemed to be going so wrong. Seeing Wulanxeex mercilessly beat on that poor Breton girl with a club, and her father shouting at him to keep doing it even when she had stopped fighting back, it was almost unreal. Her father, someone she had loved and cared for all her life, had become someone she hardly recognized. Not to mention he tried to kill that Argonian woman, Meesei. When she shocked him, Kaleeth feared for a moment that her father could be killed, which only further added to Kaleeth's fear. All of it made her wish that this was all a bad dream, that she would wake up in a few minutes in Janius' arms by the river. Her father would have never found them, they could just stay secretly in love, and Sabine wouldn't have had such a tough opponent. Unfortunately, Kaleeth knew she wasn't lucky enough for that to be the case.
"No, she has not submitted yet. You say she is strong? Prove it. Wulanxeex, continue the fight." Zharanthixil said, barking the order to the hunter initiate.

I'll post as soon as I can, though I'm doing something at the moment.
