CH. 6: Clockwork Horrors

[Breila]

"Do you have any orders for me, Ma'am?" Ouragana asks the captain.

[Jenara]

Arei stands by the side of the vessel holding Val's gear, letting the wind fly through her hair.

[HorizonsDream]

"A little strange," Jocelyn says as she watches Val. "But it kind of looks like fun too."

[JadedDM]

"No, that's all for now," the captain replies, rolling up the scroll and tucking it into her belt. "Good work, crewman."

[Jenara]

"If I hadbt bathed, I'd join her." Arei admits watching the Half orc splash in the water. "Noah didn't look happy."

[HorizonsDream]

"He wasn't," Jocelyn says. "He doesn't really like doing anything, if you haven't noticed."

[Jenara]

"Why do you need him? Surely you can go ahead on your own?" Arei asks as she watches Val swim. "You have grown to become a worthy Cleric." She comments, "Could you help me with this?" Pointing to the bite wound on her leg, "Doesn't really hurt unless I move."

[HorizonsDream]

Jocelyn looks down at the bite on Arei's leg. "If you don't mind waiting for a few minutes," she says. "I haven't exactly had time to pray for healing," she explains. "And, as for Noah, he is my mentor. He is the one who tells the church if I'm ready to move on or not. Plus, he really isn't such a bad guy, just a little lazy and unmotivated."

[Jenara]

"Oh, I didn't mean waste a prayer on me, the gods have Better things to do. Could you just patch it up?" Arei says with a shrug. "And if he is good for you, then he works for me."

[JadedDM]

Some time passes, and soon the ship is ready to depart. Val returns from her swim, smelling strongly of seawater. Soon, the anchor is hoisted, as are the sails, and the ship departs the town of Narin.
