The next few days are tense, with everyone watching everyone else. The chaperones spend a fair amount of the voyage crammed into the two 10x20 rooms that are the captain’s suite.
The following day a note is found attached to the mast saying that one of the sailors stole from another sailor while in port. The accused named in the note admits his guilt. The captain’s response is to announce that that sailor will leave the boat at Onuthod as well,
without pay or a cent to his name.
One day the ship rounds a horn of the island with a pair of mountain peaks that standing well away from the islands other mountains.
The next you cross a bay, and you are told the ruined city is nearby. Aprham catches sight of what he thinks are a pair of scaled, nearly human heads watching the ship as it sails by, shaugin? skum? something else? The distances are too great to be sure.
Late that day the ship anchors off a small cove, there are no apparent docking facilities, but a worn trail leads inland.
There ya go, Now get off my ship.
He will hand Hond his crossbow – you did well by me, this bow will be better in your hands than mine. You watch him Velsovuos, he is up to no good.
I am wounded Sir, an I consider this a betrayal of the trust I placed in you. I will not soon forget it. You will never recieve any further paying custom from me or any of my allies. The rest of you crew I forgive, you acted on your captains orders and with honor.
Abe pats Kylea – be careful, then. He clasps hands with Grim – Thanks for fix’n the ship. And good luck to the rest of Ya.
Talas comes out on deck to see you off as well. Squinting his eyes against the unaccustomed daylight – he hands Lareth a pair of dead mice, their tails tied together. He whispers Id give more but you’ve already won most of my gold, Ill just have to owe you the 3 silver.
Makla stays silent but as the last group rows away from the boat. Stay alive, and don’t let the next one get away, we don’t need anymore angry dragons on the loose.
OOC : The rowboat seats 3 comfortably 5 when crammed. Anyone want to play the boat crossing game? 6 PCs, Kel’leth and the banished sailor.
