JonnyFive said:throran will spend about an hour or so going over equipment, then head back to the inn to study spellboks and if he finds a spell he likes, copy it down.
Throran is always happy to teach the lesser races a bit about magic
[sblock=Merlis' 1st lvl spells]Alarm*, Shield*, Endure Elements*, Mage Armor, Summon Monster I, Color Spray[/sblock]
The downside is that Merlis didn't spend his initial coin like Throran did, so the elf may have to wait before he can copy down anything he likes. As LiquidBlue said he was using the 100gp rule, Throran is a little short on the coin side..
I understand if you want to wait before Merlis can get Identify from you until you can copy one as well.

The Helen of Bom
The docks of Orussus are, if not the heart, the stomach of Orussus. More than anything else they are what make Orussus the city that it is.
The Helen of Bom is easy enough to locate, a couple of questions are all that are needed to locate her.
When the adventurers present themselves at the ship, they are greeted by a sailor.
"You must be the passengers we are expecting. Ready to go to Gregsport? We should make good time with the expected weather."
OOC: The characters may continue with an Orussus activities that they desire. It should be possible to run both Orussus and Voyage activities concurrently, if necessary.

Earlier
Although mastering the spell of arcane identification had been a costly one, both in the special inks required and the dedication of time, Merlis was pleased that he had accomplished scribing it to his spellbook. Gathering his meager belongings, Merlis closed his pack and departed for the docks.
Now
Navigating to The Helen of Bom was much easier than Merlis had feared, although the others were gathering as he approached the ship's planway. Nodding his head in greeting to those who glanced his way, Merlis nodded when the man spoke of the group being the ones expected.
"I will be the first to say that I am anxious to be departing. The fact that the weather is agreeable is an added bonus as well."
[sblock=ooc]Will add the spell and deduct the gold from his char sheet.[/sblock]

Aazwen Shadewood - L1 Perfectly Normal Ranger
(OOC: Dragging Kermis along to expedite things, since we're together and not doing anything important.)
After slaughtering some time introducing Kermis to the wonders of plum pudding--the wonder being how much of it the good-natured barbarian could eat--the pair flexed a few times to remind the Red Dragon patrons how masculine they were, and exited the door into the cool air of the open street on their way to the docks. The Helen of Bom wanted to be found, as a pair of mostly lost barbarians should've had a harder time of finding it, but there it was, bobbing majestically against its moorings, waiting.
"THERE BOAT! MELEN ON BUM! I bet others already inside," says Aazwen gesticulating far too much for the simple indication of an object's presence.
He hooks an arm and waves it at Kermis in an obvious gesture for him to follow aboard. Aazwen was a little uncertain, but he was duly avoiding it being noticed. It wouldn't do for a barbarian to be seen shying away from something as routine as a boat trip.
At the gangway, the elf tentatively steps upon the obvious solid wood, daintily testing its reliability with a big-toe sticking through one boot-tip. He puckers his lip at the results, apparently suspecting a trap. Hunkering down to one knee he eyes the thing carefully, sizing up its center bow to gauge the odds of it snapping as he reached that point.
Standing again, he adjusts his gear, and smiles a moment before squinting one eye, grabbing the gecko from his head and placing it on his shoulder, and stalking confidently up the plank. A salty song full of bawdy references and seafaring jargon issue from one side of his mouth as he goes, accentuated by a few well-placed "Arrr's". There was even a "shiver me timbers" in there somewhere.
That he waltzed right past the sailor and the other elves is rather lost in the shuffle. The sailor must have correctly assumed Aazwen was with the others and wisely avoided contact.

kermis enjoys his time wandering the city and the outskirts. he is truly fascinated by the mystical goo that the elf has produced for him called "PUD - DING" and after several helping kermis realizes that the plum pudding is psosible one of the most delicious things he has ever eaten,. and plans on bringing the stuff back with him when he returns to his villiage.,
upon reaching the boat, kermis is quite shaken by the prospect of travel over the great water plain. he has been familiar with canos and rivers for quite some time but his concern was for the sake that they would be surrounded by water, DEEP water. kermis never had a problem wading across the rivers near his home, but the great ocean was far too deep for him to cross. since he couldnt really swim. making sure to carefully walk up the plank and not wanting anyone to see his weakness he stoically and proudly stalks onto the boat and stands directly in the middle of the deck. as if observing the crew, mcuh like a captain would. in reality he is judging the distance from the side of the boat he could carefully avoid the water as best as possible.
ooc-- oook sorry im late. ive been gone for quiote some timeunexpectatly. :-( blah anyways . ill try and catch up. but im ready now
kermis will stay in the center of the boat or go into a cabin if there is one. if he sees valan he will try to emulate him as best as possible so that it appears he is comfortabale with the situation.

Aazwen continues singing as he paces out the railing line, occasionally leaning far over the edge to see how far down the water was. Of course, he held onto the railing, but it still looked dangerous. His everpresent gecko continued to crawl first onto his back when he leaned over, then up to his shoulder when he stood so as to maintain his relative position upon his host.
A gruffly piratey voice suddenly issues from Aazwen's throat proclaiming, "I need a hat!" Though whether he needs one or not is immaterial to the fact that he immediately resumes his trek around the perimeter of the boat, gauging various things, measuring others by hands, and generally acting as if he were an inspector come to insure the King's Voyaging rules were being observed.
OOC[sblock]You cannot escape, Throran. It is hopeless...come here and accept sweet fate....[/sblock]

Valan spent a fun filled few days, first buying ropes and equipment and spending most of the rest of the time trying to seperate Sailors and city folk of there coin.
Getting to the ship early he continues his efforts, till the others arrive, where he greets each of them, as they arrive.
Greetings Merlis!
Kermis, Elf! How was the hunt?
Tronorn! Valan nods to the elf
As the other arrive Valan breaks off his pursuit of material gains, and counts his winning. Seeming almost a joke from Grendath himself, He broke even.
A bad omen, to go without bad or good luck and Valan seems a bit miffed.

The Journey begins
The group is lead to their quarters, which turns out to be a single room, or small hold. There are sufficient hamocks for each of them, stacked two high. A net hung from the ceiling is available to stow the party's supplies.
The party is greeted by the First Mate, a sailor by the name of Forrest, who introduces them to the ship, and briefly makes introduction with the captain, Captain Nells. Forrest informs them that meals will be served to them in their room.
Not long after the ship has left Orussus, it begins to rain. Softly at first, then as a torrent.
