[QUOTE="(contact), post: 1093, member: 41"] [b]8-- Left adrift, Fine Manners are proved to be a function of a full belly.[/b] The ogres and gith begin the shipwrecked voyage in relatively high spirits - - they have just beaten a superior force of Wind Duke Royalists, and lived to tell the tale. They are, after all, still free. The [i]D.F.

Away from a cluster center, floating objects become more and more rare. The clusters themselves are many thousands of miles apart, each cluster administered by a different Wind Duke, each with differing levels of power, and thus, authority. The splintered remnant of the [i]Marrow Down[/i] is falling away from the populated center of this particular 'island cluster’. If they don't strike land soon, it will all be over for Ragna's Raiders -- starvation for sure. The party sets up a small section of the ship’s deck as their own demesne.
