”Heave to and maintain!”, cries Rogar. He shouts to the sailors as they lift the dinghy out of the hold (all the while being yelled at by the dwarf).
”We’re dead ‘n th’ water, cap’n!”, shouts Aziim.
”Stand by ta lower Loose Lady!”, responds Rogar, the ship now rigged to the davits.
”Lower away!”.
Once resting beside the
Salty Dog, Rogar turns to the assembled group,
”I’ll bring the Salty Dog about ‘n run her out o’ the weeds and back ‘n forth till we see ya. I will - nay we all will be a’ lookin’ fer ya.” He reaches out and hands some glass vials filled with a rose colored liquid.
”Here, take these in case ya run into somethin’ foul. God speed.”
He clasps each of your hands in the manner of humans, then turns away.

Aboard the floating dinghy, you see a flurry of activity as the sailors jump to work, working the halyards to set the sails. At once, the little wind fills the sails and the
Salty Dog begins to come about, picking up speed as it heads further south. Within an hour, the
Salty Dog is nothing but a speck off in the distance.
With lazy winds, supplemented with rowing, you continue making your way through the ever thickening seaweed choked waters. Early afternoon, in the distance, you see a shape that looms out of the water.
