As the Lord and the rest of the Crew arrive up the main road 4 men stand at the gate. Mean while a small contentment of 50 armed men flank ether side of the road. Garbed in simple Black uniforms consisting of a Shirt and Trousers held up by a Leather belt. A striking red Sash slashes across the chest and a Steel medallion of a skull gripping a sword in is teeth the size of a silver piece is affixed just above the heart. As the Lord himself reaches each pair of men they snap to attention drawing their sword as they do and holding it vertical a inch from their nose(OCC: Like this) Upon the Lord arrival at the gate proper the twin towers flanking the massive gate are redressed as guards up top release Banners, the 50 foot tall towers are now covered in a banner of Black with a Thick red vertical stripe and a Massive Skull crossed with a bone and clenching a skeletal grip cutlass in its teeth. The Largest of the four, or rather of anyone standing around at the moment, steps forward, a massive Scythe in one hand he kneels down on to one knee he looks down to the lord as he is still 3 heads taller than the darkly cloaked figer despite his kneel. He then lays his scythe flat on the ground. Not breaking eye contact with the Lord, Nikbo introduces himself. "Good to see you arrive safely Lord Kealmourn. I am Nikbo, your new Shield Capetian. I received your raven with news of my posting only 2 weeks ago and made all hast upon arrive back at Blackwater Cove to embark on my duty. As you can see I have raised the standard of the guard and made a few more Changes. I also have some Maps of our lands for you to look over and matters to discuss that are better done in privet conference." (OCC: We need some canals to connect the City to the Sea, I had a Great RP written up then I remembered you could not arrive via ship.)

A skinny man wrapped head to toe in linen with a simple hooded cloak also kneels at the shield captains example. He stays silent and will remain so unless he is addressed. Besides him is a young man in a grey long coat made of burlap. He also gets down upon his knee but is unable to lower his eyes from the pirate lord as he is fascinated my the enigma. Upon closer inspection you see a mark on the boys uncovered hand which seems to have been branded recently.

Melda was by Kaelmourn's side as they approached. She was not wearing anything pirate-like, quite the opposite actually, and was never surrounded by such a large mount of supposedly disorderly vandals. She looked aroind warily as the men were actually pretty organized for a pirate group and raised a brow in confusion. Not what ones expect from a pirate base. Not at all. Regardless, she kept her hands up slightly, making her anxiousness obvious. She tried to avoid making eye-contact with anyone to avoid any misunderstandings and remained quiet. Once the large, serpent-like man however came into view, Melda was curious to find out what he was. He was nothing like she had ever seen before and was excited to realize it may have had to do something with a dragon parent. Despite her inner excitement, her body language still said ' God please, where am I walking to?'

Kaelmourn approached, currently mounted on the back of Olath Su'aco, the black wolf had grown most considerably in the past few weeks and now it was to the point that the Wolf served as his personal mount now. His dark hooded gaze fell over the small army that was assembled in their honor and his hood turned lightly towards Melda in response. "Don't be so shocked. The Blackwater Pirates will cease to be pirates in the future. They have a much more powerful destiny before them." Kaelmourn's hidden eyes then took in the sight of the rather large and impressive figure that now bowed before him.
"Nikbo..." He repeated the name, even while on Su'aco's back the towering giant's head was still at Kaelmourn's level even though he was kneeling. It was indeed an impressive sight to behold. "How fares the lands since my absense? I have been gone some time." His Elven mind really didn't register the 30-40 weeks that he was gone to be very long at all really but he knew the shorter-lived species would always think otherwise. His wolf mount watched the gathering of men carefully but didn't make so much as a sound, just making sure she protected her master.

Nikbo grabs his scythe and rises from his knee to his full height of 18'10". Stepping aside to let Kealmourn continue forward Nikbo falls in line beside him and as they approach the others signals them to do so as well with the Small army collapsing in from the rear in a 2x2 marching formation.
"In your absence and since my arrival the lands them selves have become more dangerous, and I have taken to documenting specific known threats to us and the lands at large. Several expansions have even revealed old threats and new alike. There are in fact several powerful foes who specifics are best spoken of in privet."
Nikbo then takes a look around to make sure no one is listening and sure that no once he is sure of this continues to speak.
"Prior to my posting here I took a expedition south to make for some surveys and to muscle in on a village I knew of, we discovered a grand opportunity while there that warrants your attention, again details best left to privet quarters.

Xario and the boy follow in line several paces behind Nikbo and the mounted figure. Xario stared straight ahead but the boy's eyes were locked on the man sitting upon the wolf. He was awe struck by the thought of taming such a beast.

Kaelmourn gave a slow nod and Su'aco began moving forward once again with the rather large entourage following the leading force. "Have your men ready us some horses. Melda lacks a mount to ride and we have much work to finish. I take it you have a map to detail the location of these threats?" A soft tug at the back of his mind made him turn his hooded-head back towards the sight of the Linen-wrapped man and the younger burlap-cloaked boy. The two were out of place in the uniformed mass of soldiers and Kaelmourn's curiosity grew.
"You two, what are your names?" He asked. Despite Wyatt's previous experience with Xario, Kaelmourn personally had never met the individual before. He listened to what they had to say, or lack of it if they remained silent, and turned his attention back to the giant Nikbo. "And where is the Doctor? I expected to see him upon my return, and he has a special order for me."
At Nikbo's final words of a grand opportunity the Wolf stopped quite abruptly and Kaelmourn focused his featureless hood on his Shield Captain. "If you have news to inform me of, Captain, you can say it here. Melda and Leona are my personal retinue, what I know of they may know as well."

Melda waved nervously at Nikbo when her name was mentioned, keept her shoulders dropped and head slightly low, trying to hide as she had this really awkward feeling when everyone here was so different from her. She looked at both Xario and his child-like companion with a rather inquisitive look but returned her attention to the giant Nikbo and nodded when Kaelmourn mentioned that she was his personal retinue.
"Wer darastrix fekiikic wux. Greetings, mister...uhm...Giant." Said Melda with a low voice as she bowed her head slightly. "I am Melda, the sorceress." She then cut short her usual 'greeting speech' since she felt like everyone's eyes was on her. It felt slightly satisfying to be the center of attention...But not among these people.

Nikbo looked back to the pair that Kealmourn had addressed and shot sharp looks of urgency in their direction.
"Well Speak up."
continuing forward with the group he finished his report and with the last breadths Kealmourn stops.
"If you have news to inform me of, Captain, you can say it here. Melda and Leona are my personal retinue, what I know of they may know as well."
When the more hesatant women speaks in Draconic, Nikbo lets slip a feint hint of surprise but quickly hides it before responding in kind. "fekiikiri vur sia wer tiichir di wer aurix darastrix acht wux."
Nikbo looks to the pair and solidly measures each of them up for a quick second before stepping in front of Lord Kealmourn and posturing him self in his best effort to look authoritative and respectful at the same time.
"I will not speak of it any more here. Once we are behind closed doors away from prying eyes and ears of our foes in costume i shall speak freely of it but not until then, It is far to great a risk to be spoken in the open streets.""

Xario gives a bow when he is referenced to and motions for the boy to do the same. He speaks in a baritone voice saying "I am Xario d'Pyre and this is my nephew Gerard. I am Nikbo's comrade and friend and as for the boy, I would like to ask you about his future when you are done with your other business." He seems polite and confident in his speech. The boy however speaks in a shaky voice "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Lord Kaelmourn"

Melda looked at the rude, annoyingly loud and mean woman with a glare, widening her eyes and then...just calming down and looking back at the others. She shook her head and covered her face with her left palm.
"By whatever you think is holy, woman, start acting properly, will you?" Said Melda with a hint- Well yeah not hint, obvious annoyance in her voice, her right fist clenched tightly. She felt the urge to go and punch the woman in the face, showing her what real 'brawn over brain' actually means, but decided against it. She lowered her hand from her face and then sighed deeply, trying to be positive.

Nikbo greatly disturbed by the women presence and behavior throws a extremely filthy look at the women. "The banquet is in the Guild hall, but do not expect to take Wyatts share." Turning back to Kealmourn. "If you please my lord, there is much to discuss."

Thrue the gate and a little ways in on the main street. A Tall Golant stands proudly wearing Scale mail armor fashioned in the same style as the banners covering the Tower and the Crest of Blackwater Pirate's emblazoned large across the chest. 2 smaller family crest are on each shoulder. This Golant stands shorter than Nikbo but bears a striking resemblance. However the demeanor is vastly different. This Golant gives a air of rigorous training and dicaplin off. The Scythe held by the Golant only adds to the imposing demeanor. As the parade proceeds thrue the Gate and starts to approach the fountain circle, the Lone solder snaps from a stance of rest and bears what can only be interpreted as a Salute.
Nikbo meanwhile upon seeing the display comments "Ahh, I was wondering if he would make it in time."

Xario bows to the large figure saying "It is good to meet you friend" as he tugs the wrap around his hand it falls away showing a brand similar to the boy's. The young man also does a bow and emulates the salute as best he can.
