[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6166705, member: 93930"] The captain nods and gives the order to continue at speed. The next few days pass quietly, and it's late in the evening when at last you arrive at the destination specified by the charter. A ramshackle assortment of small buildings greets you from the shore, and a long but rickety pier extends out into the ocean. The captain shakes his head. [COLOR=#ffff00]"Not a particularly good location for a port, Mister Stormforge. See how open it is? There's no shelter from passing storms. And a pier that long says to me that the waters are probably pretty shallow and full of sandbars.

The good news is that there's no rocks to wreck on, but there's plenty of places to ground a boat until a good spring tide takes you away." [/COLOR] He scratches his beard.
