[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7858750, member: 7015827"] The following morning, Nightal 16, dawned clear and cool. Rahnee gathered up her crew (everyone except for Aerikoth), picked up Captain Corvus at the Old Beard, and headed along the coastline to the old lighthouse and (hopefully) their salvaged ship. She set a very easy pace, complaining about the boots that were hurting her feet and swearing that she would turn Brok loose on the bootmaker who had had the audacity to think he could make decent boots. She winked at Brok when she made the complaint the first time and periodically found that she had to take a short rest stop to fiddle with the buckles on her boots. She kept an unobtrusive eye on the aged captain as they meandered along the road. Captain Corvus managed to keep up reasonably well, taking advantage of Rahnee's frequent stops to rest. [I](A thoughtful gesture from Rahnee, helping the old captain preserve his dignity on the journey - also the mark of a true leader. --C)[/I] As they approached the area with the old lighthouse, Rahnee suggested that they find a spot where the Captain could remain "in reserve" while the rest of them went forward to check out the situation. The party stopped by a small copse of trees soon after sighting the ruined watchtower in the distance. Captain Corvus agreed that it would be best to wait on seeing the condition of the ship before discussing business any further, indicating that he would remain under cover of the trees while the rest go forward. Dressed in his best Helm armor and gear, Brok-Tul meditated briefly, giving thanks to Helm before continuing forward.
