God I love roleplaying Theobalt a lot sometimes, and especially in guild plots.
Like he’s the one who is the judgmental, no nonsense, demanding guy who helps get things going. And he provides just the contradictory opinions that make moments feel realistic and make the guild mates have to Rp out harder when they want to do their plans.

Northward Bound Ch. 1
Arriving in Freyharbor's port, the Coalition found it in ruins. Piers torn to shreds and buildings in horrid shape. The Elemental storms had ravaged much of the port town's docks and left much to be desired. Slowly the Amarylis was maneuvered itself into the one pier that remained in good standing. As the crew began to disembark, the bitter winds of Northrend struck at the heart of Eastcrest's Crew, but there something else was off ... An energy in the air that couldn't be ignored or denied, something wasn't right. The the harbor was empty. Not a ship in sight, no dockworkers, sailors, nor any life to be seen. An odor overtook the crew, the smell of days old fish and moldy bread. Though a welcome was scheduled, Terran and other townsfolk was nowhere to be seen. In the silence all that could be heard is the sound of claw against stonework, and unnatural groaning ...
Northward Bound
As the sun dawned on the 30th The Amarylis departed Eastcrest Estate bearing much of the Coalition's forces. Sailing south along the Nazferiti River, and arriving at Oldminster Enclave. Once stocked with supplies and boarded by Oldminster's forces, the Amarylis sailed onward exiting into the Great Sea and wrapping north through the Cape of Stranglethorn until arriving at Stormwind Harbor in the Evening. Once any stragglers were brought aboard, and final preparations were made the Amarylis made began its long voyage North.
As Northward Bound begins, Eastcrest Coalition is en route to Freyharbor, seeking to rebuild and reinforce the city so that it may act as a popular destination for adventurers on their way to the Dragon Isles. The Coalition has a lot of work ahead of them but certainly has the grit and willpower to see it through.
