[QUOTE="industrygothica, post: 6446481, member: 23298"] [i]- Kingsport[/i] The Blackthorn Arcanists respectfully raise the casket onto a newly conjured floating disk and lead it onto [i]Weeping Mary[/i]. A pair of crewmen guide the wizards below deck, and soon the casket is out of sight. A tall man approaches you all and extends his hand. "I'm the captain of [i]Weeping Mary[/i], and this is Jon, my first mate. This'll be his last journey with us, as he'll be calling Silverport home with his new baby boy there. Jon, too, extends his hand in greeting. He stops at J'hanna and looks at her solemnly. "We're deeply sorry for your loss, dear. Please let us know if there is anything you need." Soon the greetings are over, the sun begins to peek over the horizon, and [i]Weeping Mary[/i] sets out to the open Grieving Sea. [i]- Somewhere, Out There[/i] "Damn near burned himself to death, what with all that fire and smoke." The voice was distant, unfamiliar. "Still, it was smart of him. We'd never have seen him otherwise." "Did he at least give you a name before he passed out?" A different voice, raspy and hard to hear. But still, it was a voice; something he hadn't heard in... how long? "No Cap'n. Didn't say anything really; just kept mutterin' somethin' about 'justice' over and over again. Must'a said it a hunnerd times before he went out. Whatdya wanna do with 'em?" "Take him below deck, see to those burns. Don't waste too many supplies on him if it looks like he's not going to make it. If he pulls through, well... we'll see about that." [i]- Weeping Mary[/i] The days pass without incident, albeit slowly. The ship's crew have gone out of their way to make their Blackthorn guests feel welcomed, even when it is obvious they are not. Maighan, however, seems to be a genuinely welcomed part of the crew. The captain is generally a quiet and reserved man. He's nice enough, but tends to keep to himself until something needs his attention. Then his loud, baritone voice sings through the ocean air for all to hear and act upon. It is the first mate Jon who is the sociable one. He spends all the time he can with the visitors, and with Maighan, for he does consider her a visitor as well, despite the bargain she stuck with the captain. He lets her work, but does his best to ensure her comfort as well. He seems to know people, to be able to read their expressions and body language to tell what they're thinking or feeling. And several days into the trip you know all about him, too... and his wife and new son, Erik. You've heard some of the crew members suggest that he may swim the way to Silverport should something happen to [i]Weeping Mary[/i] while she's at sea. Fortunately, nothing has happened.
