[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7028432, member: 6855204"] [sblock=The West Wind, below deck] The passengers follow the ship officer down a flight of stairs to a long hallway. So long, in fact, that it makes one wonder how the hall actually fit on the ship. There are doors to the left and the right all along the hall, and the passengers are told these are the rooms. The shut doors are occupied. The open doors are available. Most of the doors are shut, now, but there remains a number that are still open. The rooms hold two passengers each. Once the other passengers have chosen their rooms, there remains three rooms that are completely empty, and four that have only one passenger, and so are still open. Of the potential room mates, there is the Goliath from the rowboat, the gnome from the deck, a drow female, and a young dwarf. [ooc]As the first two of the party to board the ship, you have your pick of rooms. You can either take a room together, each take a separate empty room, or have an NPC roommate. We won't be on the ship long, but relationships you make now might have effects down the road.[/ooc] [/sblock] [sblock=The Tower] "Yes, the coins!" the mage said, beaming at being called a "Magus". He laid two more coins on the table. "As I told this gentlegnome here, the Academy isn't here in Llast. It's on an island. Well, it's on a number of islands. Impossible to find unless your captain knows exactly how to get there. Once there, in order to get off the boat, you have this coin. You will not be able to get off the boat without one.

He didn't bother waiting for an answer, though Zivar recognizes that this is almost verbatim, even to the inflection of his words, what the man said to him not a minute before. "Good!
