Saturday, January 8th, 402 (12:18 p.m.) [15]: “Oh!  You’re right, sorry,” Caleb replies, embarrassed [to Reldmun’s recommendation that he keep quiet about how much money the party has]. When Reldmun mentions he’d like to round their stay up to two weeks, Caleb shrugs and replies, “I have no problem with that.  Nowhere I need to […]

Saturday, January 8th, 402 (12:15 p.m.) [15]: [I forgot to mention that the money for the silverware and crown will be available by the end of the day] [It also looks like it will be shared accommodations all around, so two rooms shared by six, with Melisana in her own room, of course!] “Oh, and […]

I’ll just move things along a small bit, giving a better idea of what the party’s cash flow situation is like, as that’s all the time I have this evening (as usual for Wednesdays, just a quick one)! Also, an important note that I don’t believe I’ve mentioned before:  To keep things simple, training to […]

Wednesday, January 5th, 402 (8:00 p.m.) [12]: Caleb, deftly using the spoon and bowl that would normally be much too large and unwieldy for someone his size, pauses from his meal to voice his agreement with the others’ plan.  “I can’t see why we’d have a use for this ship when we can travel by […]

Wednesday, January 5th, 402 (7:50 p.m.) [12]: [There is no indication from the fishermen that they are hiding anything or have any ulterior motives with the conversation at hand.  They seem like good, honest hardworking people and quickly put the party at ease with their generosity, openness and affability.] Oliviero smiles, laughs and shakes his […]

Wednesday, January 5th, 402 (7:00 p.m.) [12]: “Oh, that is terrible news!” exclaims Oliviero [to Reldmun’s explanation of how the party wound up in the state it did].  “Yes, there have been some terrible storms these last few days.  The gods are angry with us, without a doubt!  I have told my friends here [gesturing […]

Wednesday, January 5th, 402 (6:29 p.m.) [12]: [There is nothing obvious on board that could serve as a telescope for Ydoran; the cups in the serving set are made of silver (or possibly a silver-based compound), not glass, for example] [With Reldmun having handed his crossbow over to Raj, does this mean Quinn won’t give […]

Tuesday, January 4th, 402 (6:50 p.m.) [11]: [After sitting down to dinner] “I want to thank you again for rescuing me,” Melisana replies, “And for offering to take me safely home again.  I’m sure if we can just reach a larger coastal town or city I’ll be able to hire a coach to take me […]

Tuesday, January 4th, 402 (6:50 p.m.) [11]: Raj takes a look around the ship once he has regained a small fraction of his strength, and is impressed [presumably!] with the size, the beauty and the seaworthiness of the vessel [I’ve included a simple picture of what it might look like, with some notable differences*, stolen […]

Tuesday, January 4th, 402 (6:25 p.m.) [11]: With the combined help of an already exhausted Konishi and Reldmun, Raj clambers up and over the side of the boat, spilling onto the floor from his own fatigue.  The barrels come up shortly afterward, one by one, and settle alongside the partially filled* tarp.  They’re clearly full, […]
