"Indeed. The Praetors would say it is in Myneria's hands now," Lyveria agrees with Zykovian.

*As Lyveria gathers Zykovian's possessions to begin transporting them over to the Laughing Sail, Zykovian heads to his early class at the Convocation.*

(OOC: Which class did he have left today?)
 

OOC: Helmsmanship, I believe.

"Indeed it is, my dear," Zykovian replied. "Will you be at the Laughing Sail if I don't find you here, my dear? Also, you should be ready to head out at a moment's notice for I really don't know when we're leaving today."
 

"Certainly. I shall remain at the Laughing Sail until I am needed."

*Zykovian's class on helmsmanship explains the use of various types of helms, including the typical generic helm as well as some unusual helms, such as group helms, artifurnaces, and lifejammers. There is some discussion on how to manoeuvre the ship appropriately in several situations, from 360-degree turns to ramming attempts, and there is discussion on the interactions between the helm and the ship's sails and shape for manoeuvrability.*
 

Zykovian listened and learned during the class, finding that his mathematical classes in school helped him with some of the understandings. Of particular interest to Zykovian, was just how draining operating the helm was on the magical abilities of the helmsman.

OOC: What skill is necessary (if/when Zykovian levels so he can take that skill).
 

*Zykovian discovers that activating the helm drains the helmsman of magical potential for the day.*

(OOC: Hmm...normally the helmsman just moves the ship to the best of the helm's capacity and the ship + helm's manoeuvrability rating, but actually, it would be pretty cool if there was a skill to let the helmsman get extra performance out of her ship. I think I shall write up some uses for the Profession(Helmsman) skill :))
 

Zykovian had his skill with his bow to help him in those times, but he relied quite a bit on his magical talents. Hopefully, Melody was successful in getting a second helmsman so that he wasn't always without magical power.

OOC: I still have some uses left :)
 

(OOC: Or a third helmsman, if one counts Melody as a possible helmsman as well ;))

*The seminar is over after only a few hours, leaving Zykovian free for the rest of the day. As the last day of the Convocation, the Convocation staff are expecting any participants who want to join up to sign up at the Registrar's Office.*
 

*Zykovian headed over to the registrar's office to see if Melody had obtained a ship and if he was already on the crew or not.*
