=== Salvage Crew, Not Pirates ===
; Duesday 1st Thaw
Two of their ships ([[#Celestial Breeze|Celestial Breeze]] & [[#Silver Phoenix|Silver Phoenix]]) will be arriving in Seagate tomorrow around noon to take us south later in the afternoon to find wrecks and business opportunities in the south.
 
We exclude Piracy, Slavery, or other outright illegal or evil acts - we'll have no part in that.
 
We get 10% of salvage from any land wrecks.
 
After introductions we split up to organise supplies, enchantments, potions, astrology.
3,600sp for Greater Enchantment.
1,400sp for Astrology.
  500sp ea for healing potions.
A good quantity of decent food is loaded into Ari's tent.
 
; W'ansday 2nd Thaw
We make our way to the port midafternoon where we're assigned hammocks in a section of the hold.
 
The Celestial Breeze has 28 Passengers, including: 4 [[#Sisters of Mercy|Sisters of Mercy]] on their way to Raniterre and a Family of 12 (parents & 10 kids) on the way to Ebola to reclaim some family lands.
 
Sailing south we anchor for the night near [[The Rookeries]].
 
; Th'rsday 3rd Thaw
Sailing east we stop at [[Blackshore]] for a few hours offloading and loading supplies, hunting in the hills, then on to [[Novadom]] for the night.

=== A Desert Diversion ===
 
As we clear the westward side of the island south of Novadom, we fall into line a few miles behind a Destinian Galley, '''Sword of Mercy'''.
 
Reaching Saktekorum just before dusk we disembark and explore the town.
 
; Reapsday 5th Thaw
Bassil Al Sharif, a trader with a shipment of Crocus (Saffron flowers) and other desert spices coming overland from the north west is overdue. The captain asks us to go seek them out.
Bassil has a trading flag, sand dunes under two moons. Usually wears a red turban.
 
Once we leave town we start flying, stopping to talk to a couple of caravans we pass they haven't seen our quarry.
2 hours (about 60 miles) NW we come to an oasis amongst some hills where we see signs of combat and tracks leading NE.
Celeste follows them about 1 mile NE towards some other hills while we fly above.
 
In the hills we call for the ambush to surrender, they try to bluff it out. I fly past some concealed archers in caves on the cliff, taunting them into revealing themselves and giving me some arrows. Celeste charges, looting more arrows.
We engage the Orc bandits and their hounds, calling for their surrender then killing them when they decline.
 
Then we head towards the ones in the cave on the hillside.

Scribe Notes

Salvage Crew, Not Pirates

Duesday 1st Thaw

Two of their ships (Celestial Breeze & Silver Phoenix) will be arriving in Seagate tomorrow around noon to take us south later in the afternoon to find wrecks and business opportunities in the south.

We exclude Piracy, Slavery, or other outright illegal or evil acts - we'll have no part in that.

We get 10% of salvage from any land wrecks.

After introductions we split up to organise supplies, enchantments, potions, astrology. 

3,600sp for Greater Enchantment.
1,400sp for Astrology.
  500sp ea for healing potions.

A good quantity of decent food is loaded into Ari's tent.

W'ansday 2nd Thaw

We make our way to the port midafternoon where we're assigned hammocks in a section of the hold.

The Celestial Breeze has 28 Passengers, including: 4 Sisters of Mercy on their way to Raniterre and a Family of 12 (parents & 10 kids) on the way to Ebola to reclaim some family lands.

Sailing south we anchor for the night near The Rookeries.

Th'rsday 3rd Thaw

Sailing east we stop at Blackshore for a few hours offloading and loading supplies, hunting in the hills, then on to Novadom for the night.

Bare knuckle fights in the bar for Celeste & Ari with Zardoz managing the bets. Peter spends the night at the local (large) Powers of Light cathedral.

Frysday 4th Thaw

The next morning we set sail south and east towards Saktekorum.

A Desert Diversion

As we clear the westward side of the island south of Novadom, we fall into line a few miles behind a Destinian Galley, Sword of Mercy.

Reaching Saktekorum just before dusk we disembark and explore the town.

Reapsday 5th Thaw

Bassil Al Sharif, a trader with a shipment of Crocus (Saffron flowers) and other desert spices coming overland from the north west is overdue. The captain asks us to go seek them out. Bassil has a trading flag, sand dunes under two moons. Usually wears a red turban.

Once we leave town we start flying, stopping to talk to a couple of caravans we pass they haven't seen our quarry. 2 hours (about 60 miles) NW we come to an oasis amongst some hills where we see signs of combat and tracks leading NE. Celeste follows them about 1 mile NE towards some other hills while we fly above.

Celeste charges, looting more arrows. We engage the Orc bandits and their hounds, calling for their surrender then killing them when they decline.

Then we head towards the ones in the cave on the hillside.
