Why Character is in Harbor or at Sea During Red Gull Attack

Lou is serving on the PN (Protectorate Navy) Moon Runner, a high mast schooner designed for oceanic voyages. Moon Runner  has just returned from a four week deep voyage and is docked in the Harbor when the damn birds attack. Nobody likes those damn birds. They taste bad as well, in case you were wondering.

Tyvarus is in the area during the red gull attack because he is currently working for Boldewin's family as a guard on their merchant vessel. This vessel is nearby when the call is sounded. Tyvarus rushed on deck, sword and shield drawn...ready to do battle with these pesky "bird-demons."

Jordan has intentionally kept his wanderings of late near the harbor to test out a theory (belief) about the red gulls. As soon as he hears the cry he sprints for the nearest boat he can find that is heading out to deal with them, with the single minded intent of resolving this without having to harm the gulls. He has kept a bag of smelly fish on him and seems to believe he can just calm them at worse, and at best he has this fantasy of domesticating them. (ya... I know... this won't end well for him...)

Boldewin is currently on his way back home for summer break, he's excited to see his family again. However, the intrigue of testing his newly learned spells against actual combatants piques his interest. As he rushes off to deal with these birds his heart begins racing and his adrenaline is pumping.
