A light song rings out in the softly dawning light. Xath, with a smile and encouraging nod leads us in a more rowdy ballad suited best for the cheap dock taverns. With the rising spirits and voices from each individual as the song made it’s way through the ranks, any objections died at the song’s context.Though Arfin and Farathier made sure to bring fresh men to help, we were still hard pressed for speed. Farathier’s buddy Freckles had managed to rig up a special harness for Yoshi. With him pulling the middle and everyone grabbing one of the two side ropes we slowly inched our way inland. The mages walk behind covering in the deep trench the pulled ship is making. Once far enough inland, we drop the ropes and unload a few cannons onto a, again Freckles inspired, special pad built for Yoshi. The earth mage finishes covering the ship with dirt and rock, so now it looks simply like a small hill barely a mile from the rolling tide. A quick tired cheer goes up from those all around us. The circle looks to each other smiling through grit and grim. We have the proof, and though dirty and exhausted we are still alive. For the next few hours everyone makes the long march back to Hwyrl.A cry from inside the city goes up and a small collection of people flood out. Starting even now the stories run faster through the city then we can walk to the gates of Hywrl. Those within the New Oceanus camp seemed to grasp at this new straw of hope. As we entered the palace trying to push off the exhaustion for just a little longer, we were immediately taken to the Duke to give our report.</blockquote>
