CH. 5: The Sending is Coming from Inside the House
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:43 pm
It has been three days since the sahuagin attack, but time flies when one is busy. And everyone kept busy this time around.
Val, Ouragana, Jocelyn and Areilon helped Andar and the remaining crewmen in sailing the ship. As all of the men died in the attack save Andar, he is now the only male crewman left (not counting officers). It's clear he's still pretty uncomfortable being around women after what happened to him, but he does his best nonetheless.
Val has little in the way of sailing experience; she was more accustomed to whale riding than anything else. But she is strong, so she is mostly given manual labor.
Ouragana mostly assists the first mate with navigation, while Areilon largely deals with the rigging and often takes a shift in the crow's nest, especially at night when her keen elven vision is most useful. Jocelyn is surprised by how rusty she is; it's been years since she's sailed a ship, but it mostly comes back to her over time.
On the third day after the attack, it is Seaday--a week since the party last left Narin. Jocelyn and Noah spend the day in prayer, as it is a holy day to Octhanus. The ship does not arrive in Narin until that night. In the starlight, the town seems almost abandoned, it is so quiet.
Once the vessel is docked and everyone disembarks, Dalaim says, "I suppose this is it then. I must return to my temple and begin preparations for the new expedition. Good luck to you in your future endeavors. May Gonto watch over you." He then departs.
"Well, then," Boffi says. "Thanks be to ye all for helping against the sahuagin and keeping the ship afloat until we got here. Now it's just a matter of hiring a new crew. That'll wait until the morrow, though. Ye best head to the inn and get rooms for the night; it's pretty late. Farewell."
He and his crew remain on the ship. "Shall we head to the Paragon?" asks Grey, now since healed up from his near-death experience.
=============
It is now Agate 26, Seaday at 10:00 PM.
(OOC: Casters can pick new spells.)
