“Asking won´t hurt you” answers Wil.
[ooc: since three of us went for the boat]
That same afternoon the party finds an available boat and his owner, a small fisherman called Rodac and agree on a 2 silver pieces per day fee (plus the food*) for leaving tomorrow. You spend what´s left of the day doing your business **, and sleep on Rodac´s home; it´s a small house, but he´s single since his wife died a couple years ago and his children already grew up and left the village –and you can understand why: it´s a boring place in the middle of nowhere.
“One of them turned to be a witch” comments Rodac. “I think that came from her mother´side. They said she was ´charming´, and they were quite right: she was able to make a man do what she wanted just speaking some funny words. I´ve not seen her for a long time, I wonder where she is.”
The next day, when the sun is already hurting Hulgyr´s eyes, Rodac leaves to prepare the boat, and soon you´re on your way. It´s a good change of pace, after ten days walking to have a rest and let the wind shower you with froth, and you wonder how a ship could sink in these waters.
“It´s not that difficult” says Rodac. “The waves are small because the Elbereth Sound bay is small as bays go and closed by those islands” the fisherman points north, to some barely seen land resting on the horizon. “But is also shallow, and dangerous, because you just need 7 feet of water to drown a man, and every rock bottom is a danger. See those white patches of white water? There are reefs there. Unless you´re a very experienced captain, you´ll use the normal routes, and only when you´re sure. That´s why they made the lighthouse: there´s a particulary difficult pass over there, and it saves a lot of time.”
At the same time, you watch the land parade at your left. At first sight, is sandy, arid, and very flat, but there are numerous groups of trees growing tightly in the places where the land is raised only a couple feet, and bushes cover most of what´s left. And sudden movements betrays the presence of many animals, and some of them must be quite big.
The sun sets and Rodac refuses to continue. “It would be dangerous to in the dark. We´ll continue tomorrow” affirms, and carefully runs aground the boat. At the light of the dying sun you see a sandy beach, and beyond more marshes. ***
