"Over here!" Valithor says. He is lying on a cot with his chest wrapped in red stained bandages. The man tries to sit up, winces, and returns to his previous position.
The group approaches them. The leader speaks. "I'm Aleix. These are Beatriu, Charis, Eloi, Pere, Sevan, and Stijn." He introduces each of them in turn. "We've been sent to find you by Alpida Makrinorasi."
LegoBuilder: We really need to move this plot line forward. I want it to finish about the same time Alpida and Karthon's does.

LegoBuilder : Please respond to this action so we can keep the plotline going.
"Alpida.... where have I heard that name before.... ah, yes. The woman from the Pine Forest. The one with the morning star and gray skin. Why is she looking for me?"

"She wants to let you know she's brought an army to help you fight. Right now, she's working on taking out some of the Xain leadership."
Karthon blinked at Alpida's mighty feat, briefly baffled at the lightning speed at which it was executed.
"Well," Karthon said to Dubhan, "what are we waiting for?" And with that charged after their ally to achieve their destination in his own fashion and joined the battle with the Grayling.
On the ship, the enemies are more than ever before. The three of them are hard-pressed just to keep fighting. But with the help of Natasa, they are able to focus their attention on the ordinary soldiers and make steady progress.
With Karthon more exhausted then ever, he lowered the power of his attacks to conserve energy, nonetheless keeping good form seeing it sufficient enough to keep the enemy at bay.
Just then the sea sprayed across the deck with some smacking neatly into Karthon's eyes. He retreated a few paces with his hand clasped over and wiping his eyes. He blinked furiously until red hot pain shot up his left arm. Leaping to the side to avoid being speared by the Xain pikeman who just attacked him and grasping his wound, fell behind Alpida to recover. But the Xain was rather persistent in his offensive and charged, but only to meet an oncoming knife thrown by the now wounded rogue.

Alpida tells Dubhan to keep Karthon safe. She runs to a high point of the ship, fending off Xain soldiers, and shouts. "We know your leader is here! Bring him to us!"

Karthon, now aided by Dubhan, continue fighting the Xains in an offensive-defensive style. And when Alpida called out for the Xain in command the rogue searched for any sign of their quarry, to see if he turned at his name or retreated.

The soldiers pause momentarily at Alpida's words, unsure what to do. Karthon sees some motion at the other end of the ship. But before he can tell what it is, the Xains begin fighting again.

Karthon used this unexpected pause to regain his composure, and as the fighting resumed he yelled to Alpida and motioned towards the end of the ship.
"Alpida! There!" And fought on through the pain of his wound once he saw the Grayling receive his message.

Alpida gives him a nod and hops down from her position, fighting towards the direction that Karthon indicated.
