Miss 24 hrs and you almost miss the ship![/sblock]Earlier todayThe dark waters of the harbor hid Damash, but his eyes were able to see through the brackish haze and stare at the Blue Nixie above him. He had been under the water for the majority of the day, staring up at the ship, protected by Istishia’s body from the casual gaze. While he was unsure of the exact size of the crew, he had counted half a dozen souls since he approached the ship and felt confident that he had not counted any person twice. The ship was braced against a series of barge floats that provided him excellent cover and perhaps they could be used against those aboard the ship again later tonight. While he knew he could make the swim from the docks to them easily, of the others in the group he felt only Chongo could make the swim without having to come up for air once.Seeing the sun begin to shift again, Damash knew he had to return to the others and tell them of what he had witnessed, but first he had to prepare for tonight.Current timeAs the others gathered at the end of the pier, Damash approached and knew that he could no longer pass himself off as a simple dockworker in Sasserine. The shell greaves of his armor, the front of his buckler, and spear were all marked with the cresting wave of Istishia, but the leather bracers wrapped around his forearms still allowed him to keep his true heritage hidden for the time.‘The depths do not give up their mysteries at first sail…’As they turned as a group to face him, Damash managed to keep his face steady and voice calm, but his hands betrayed his nervousness by clenching and unclenching the spear’s haft as he began to speak. “As you see the Nixie is preparing to leave, but I have watched her all of today. At least six men are on her as we speak, but there are likely that many who were resting during the day to be ready to sail her tonight. She has not dropped an anchor to hold her steady; instead, she has allowed herself to be held in check by those floating barges. They offer cover to those who can make it underneath to reach the air pockets created and could offer an entrance point up the ropes which secure her to them.”Seeing Col’s mismatched eyes settling upon him, Damash felt his resolve weaken and he looked around uncertain for a moment. “I apologize for missing you at the appointed hour, but the tides rush for no one and would not hear my words until I had became as calm as they were. The waters will heed my call and give us what aide they can provide, but the ties here are not as strong as they once were.”'The town is built upon the water, but its focus is always on itself...'[sblock=spell selection]Damash will have the following spells: 0: Create Water, Guidance(x2); 1st: Longstrider*, Bless, Command[/sblock]</blockquote>
