[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7371963, member: 59816"] The following day began pleasantly enough - and early. The morning air was relatively cool with stiff breeze off of the sea as the group made their way to the Harbour Ward carrying their canoe. The long boat was awkward for those not accustomed to carrying it, but Qawasha insisted that they would have to learn, and it was far better to get the hang of it here than in the jungle, where they would have to watch for zombies in the underbrush and poisonous snakes underfoot, all while being eaten alive by mosquitoes and worse. They eventually made it to the docks, in spite of a few difficult moments, such as when they were negotiating a steep incline that also rounded a corner where an immense long-tailed beast was going up while they were going down. The creature had nearly swept the legs from under them with its tail, and the canoe had nearly been lost over the ledge. But it was safely in the water now, to be towed behind the larger sailing vessel that was the [I]Brazen Pegasus[/I]. The gnomish captain, Ortimay Swift-and-Dark, welcomed them aboard and introduced them to her mate, Grig Ruddell, a hulking man with a face almost totally obscured by a heavy beard streaked with grey. [B]"Ruddy doesn't say much,"[/B] Captain Swift (as she was known for short), [B]"But he's got a nose for rain. He says we'll be expecting a mighty downpour. We'll see how long we can outrace it for, but expect to be soaked to the skin by nightfall."[/B] She nodded to Ruddy who yelled, [b]Cast off!"[/b] and the six crewmen of the small vessel went about their work, raising the sails (rather large for a small ship) and coiling the mooring lines. The ship moved slowly as it passed by the statue in the middle of the harbour and it began to pick up speed as it sailed past Fort Nyanzaru. By the time it rounded the lighthouse, the crew had unfurled a mass of canvas which caught the wind and the ship heeled far over to its port side and slid through the choppy water at ever increasing speed. They passed the beautiful Temple of Sune on its high rock that jutted from the sea and pretty and pampered worshippers waved at them as they passed. A sailor called out a rude remark, which could not have been heard from the shore, but Ruddy yelled at him and he shut his mouth, though continued to smile. [ooc]The Temple of Sune is like a spa on a rock with overly made-up french-court style worshipors. I suspect the sailors might have something to say about them. Feel free to talk to NPCs if you like, then I'll rush us forward a bit.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
