[QUOTE="jsb420, post: 5538190, member: 6672544"] [sblock=ooc]I'll just say that we'll go with Circio's plan. First Watch: Damien & Ardens Second Watch: Jesse & Ixen Third Watch: Cyrus & Fin[/sblock] After only a two days at sea, no other vessels are seen. The weather was mild with a nice head wind. Rogar seems competent and the efficiency of the [I]Salty Dog[/I] is surprising. The caravel is now approaching the last habitable island in a small archipelago on the western side of the Isle of Opposition (avoiding the isle’s main port Fulcrum and their man-o-wars piloted by corrupt officials). Maneuvering the ship past some reefs, the [I]Salty Dog[/I] drops anchor in a protected cove. Rogar, Jack and a couple of sailors row a six man dinghy to the shore. They return shortly with some barrels of fresh water, some live poultry, and some dried goods to help shore up the half-orc cook Braedin’s larder. Once aboard, Rogar gathers you together. [COLOR=green]”I was talkin’ to me mate an he’s seein’ this magic light wit his own eyes. He was out in his trawler checkin’ his crab traps – disgusting insects”[/COLOR], you actually see the usually taciturn dwarf become a little green in the cheeks. He takes a quick cleansing breath, then continues. [COLOR=green]”He said he was no more than a league north and east a the Henge. So unless ye got any ideas, we be headin’ there directly.”[/COLOR]. That said, he climbs the stairs to the stern and begins chatting with Aziim, the helmsman.

From there it’s a northeastern route towards the mystical island. The first night past the northern point of the Henge, while Jesse and Ixenvalignat were on watch, a dim white light, begins to radiate at the horizon line. It may well be lightning from a storm in the distance, but the radiance slowly starts to pulsate. Soft and diffuse it doesn’t seem to be from a natural source. Before you can shout out to the Captain, Jack materializes next to you, hands gripping the bulwark, elven eyes intently scanning the horizon.
