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.
