Nissa gets off the boat first, thankful to be on a solid surface that doesn't move constantly, but waits for the others to take the lead on what to do next.
D&D 5E (2014) IG's "It's a Brand New World" [IC]
- Thread starter industrygothica

Garrison is sorry that the captain is releasing the entire crew, but he does understand. This was a rough trip, and a new crew might give him peace of mind.
"I've written a note for Jon's family, Captain. Perhaps you would be good enough to pass it along when the opportunity comes." He hands the note, pulls his satchel over his shoulder. "Perhaps I will have the honour of serving with you again, sir." With that, he disembarks.
[sblock=The Note]Jon was a good sailor, and he knew his ropes. He worked hard and he fought hard. He died fighting pirates. We was all tricked, ma'am, and it weren't right. He was a good sailor. Garrison.
Garrison's writing consists of inconsistently shaped capital letters, but each is uniform in size and perfectly straight.[/sblock]

Justice frowns and looks down at his feet in guilt as the Captain addresses him. He squeezes his holy symbol so tight that his knuckles turn as white as a seagull. He wanted to promise to earn money to donate to Jon's family, but he didn't know who or where they were. He wanted to say many things. In the end, he absorbed the Captain's words in silence and vowed silently to add Jon's name to his daily prayers for those who have died and require vengeance to be meted out on the evil-doers of the world.
He gathered his meager possessions and left the ship behind with the others and found his eyes were soon staring around at the sights of Silverport and wondering what he would do next to earn coin so he could buy the gear which he needed to carry the fight to the enemy.
It was with mingled relief and a vague ache of nostalgia that Maighan debarked and set foot once again on solid land. It wasn't that being at sea was especially appealing to her...it was just something new and exciting and different, and she knew she'd miss it.
But it WAS nice have a solid surface under her feet, even if it was paved stones and not soft soil.
She gave the others getting off the ship a slight smile and a nod of recognition. They seemed like good people to her, and not at all how she'd been expecting non-elves to behave. Crass, perhaps, and sometimes a bit awkward or blundering...but they had integrity and weren't afraid of hard work.
It was good, the druid reflected. Perhaps there was common ground after all.
"It was good meeting you," she said in her accented Common speech. "May you find strength in your struggles."
With that, the elf turned and started off down the pier towards the city proper...already realizing as she went just how big it was. How was she going to find the people she needed to?

From the first moment that land is sighted, J'hanna stays up in the bow, straining for the first glimpses of her homeland. Once the ship begins to make its way through the crowded harbor though, she disappears down below, packing her gear and getting the old man's casket ready to unload. She is one of the last off the ship, carrying the casket down with the aid of a few sailors and depositing it at the base of the wharf. Local folk would help her from here, she is sure- it is just a matter of finding them in the crowded and chaotic dockside rush- plenty of folk left the farms for the sea, or the sea-side, especially after the blight began to take good land.
As she scans the crowd of dock-workers and harbor folk, her gaze falls upon the other 'outsiders' from the ship. Aedon, she knows, is bound to go with her, to see the blight for himself- and perhaps that odd Academy girl will go as well. The others seem to have no place here, but they had seemed honest enough, hard-working, at least as much as she can tell. She steps a bit closer and speaks, raising her voice to address as many of them as she can. "Welcome to the island I call my home, though I wish I could offer you a warmer greeting. Some of us are bound to return to my village, to lay an old man to his rest, and to examine certain strangeness that the masters of the Academy feel is important. It is not a long journey, but some extra hands might be helpful, and I know that the elders of the village would not begrudge some repayment for honest work in assistance. Would any of you be willing to accompany us?"

Nissa, feeling terribly lost and alone, nods and steps forward, mostly out of a selfish need to not feel abandoned.

Upon hearing the offer from the girl J'hanna, Justice turns from staring at the sights of the city around him. "I would also be glad to join your cause, but there is some equipment that I should purchase to prepare for any journey. I didn't have much with me from the island and on the raft, but I managed to keep a few coins that should enable me to get some basic gear that would be useful. Like a shield to go with this armor and sword that the pirates outfitted me with. Maybe even enough for a drink or two before we leave town? Would anyone join me in a toast to the memory of Captain Jon?"

"I'd be happy to come," says Garrison plainly to J'Hanna, "if you'd have me." Then, to Justice: "I won't need the drink, but I'll keep you company if there's time."
