DarkMaster,
You caught me on the hop a bit. I was expecting a few posts before we got to the ship. Xavier, Karn and Lt. Xilif are all mounted. While I'm not sure about the others, Xavier, I know would be reluctant to leave Sanfranedial on the dock. I was thinking he could travel to where ever it is the others are going on horseback and meet them there. From what I understand, its just down river, not overseas at this point.
Unless of course the ship is big enough to carry horses.
