The three visitors from the Bullring board the Seleya. Jocelyn, Ouragana and Val all recognize Sierra, of course. Flanking her is her sister and first mate, Terra Bullring and a young elven man they have never seen before.
Terra is an attractive dwarven woman with short blonde hair, wearing a black cloak. The elf is thin with blue eyes and blond hair. There is a strange and almost random streak of crimson through his hair. Both are wearing leather armor, although the elf appears to have some serious wounds from a recent fight.
There are four people standing with Saren, none of whom Gallath recognizes, all of who look to be in their late teens.
The first is a tall muscular
male human with plain features, long, greasy and unkempt, black hair, a small black trimmed beard and several scars on his face and neck. He is dressed in leather armor. Two dogs sit at his side, one little more than a puppy. He looks like he's recently been in a nasty fight.
The second is a
human woman with long black hair and blue eyes. She is dressed in the vestments of Octhanus, like Saren. However, her vestments have been torn in several places (including the sleeves having been torn off, revealing her slender arms). Her body is covered in bite and claw marks.
The third is a somewhat tall and very slightly built woman with pale skin and hair and water-blue eyes. She is so wispy that one wonders that she isn't carried off by the breeze. She is dressed in the grey uniform of a Storm Sorceress (an order of mage mercenaries who often hire themselves out to protect and guide ships at sea).
The fourth is a half-orc woman with close cropped black hair, grey skin, brown eyes and protruding lower canines. She has a swimmer's build, and is wearing shark leather armor with no footwear at all. She is covered in bruises, having also apparently been in a fight recently.
Only after taking in these four does Gallath notice a fifth person; a middle-aged
male dwarf further in the back. He's big and burly with lots of body hair and a scruffy but full beard. He seems to favor one leg and is wearing battered chain mail.
Sierra and Terra seem to immediately recognize the three humans and half-orc, and appear surprised. "Well, well..," Terra begins, "I didn't think I'd ever see you lot again. It's been about a year, hasn't it? Fought off any dragons lately?"
Sierra nods politely to the party, but turns her attention to Saren. "So what the Nine Hells happened here?" she asks.
"A League attack, as I said. Two wizards seemed behind it, causing fires and summoning zombies and slaadi. The citizens took sides, and there were many casualties as a civil war erupted," Saren explains.
"Aye, I think we ran into them on our way here. Riding a big bone dragon and they damaged my ship and dropped several monsters on us before flying off," Sierra says. "No telling where they are now."

(OOC: I wouldn't think Gallath could hear them, as they are speaking softly and that conversation occurred before he boarded the ship.)
