The Antigrol Tide (OOC)

[unleashed]

Well, that was nearly 3 months ago, but I did recall that she had heard the name.

The reason I had Colmarr make mention of it though, was that she used the name as if calling upon her own deity, which I find very strange for someone who's heard the name only a couple of times. Apparently I didn't get my meaning across though, so I'll rephrase that bit.

 

[Mallak]

Ok, sounds good.

We've made it to a new page in the IC thread! It seems like it's taken a while, but hopefully we're back on track again.

"Malachi, please bring Naomi..."

Did you mean to use Naomi's real name, there?

 

[unleashed]

Did you mean to use Naomi's real name, there?

Oops, no I didn't, thanks for pointing it out. Fixed it now, along with a bit of the preceding text.

Mallak, do you remember if the crossbow Grondar took from the store owner is light or heavy?
In addition, I don't recall you wrote how many bolts I took from him, if there were any except the one he loaded into the crossbow

 

[Mallak]

Hm...let's say light crossbow, 6 bolts.

How many extra people would the ship hold, for that matter? Of course, the others may not cotton to Mag blithely offering seats to strangers, so it may be moot...

The ship could hold a fair number of people extra, if folks weren't opposed to getting cosy, especially now that most of the cargo is gone from the hold. However, the ship is not currently provisioned for a long voyage with many mouths. The water barrels have been filled as part of the harbor tax and will last 8 people a month or more with proper rationing, but for food, the ship carries only enough to feed 8 people for ten days. Assuming you don't stock any more food, that's enough to get down to the islands or back up to Antigrol, or maybe even across the ocean, assuming you don't land in the doldrums. To cross the Eastern Ocean to the elven continent takes about two weeks with decent winds. (The record is just over 4 days, but that team of sailors rode in on a hurricane with sustained speeds above 30 knots, or so they say. The longest any ship ever took to arrive at port was three months. Of course, there are those ships that never arrived at all.)
