Scribe Notes

With the unavailability of meeting room one due to "decontamination" due to an "Alchemical Mishap" I made my way into meeting room 2 where are employer who had been late for the main job orientation at the larger guild meeting. It turns out that the House Sulis Merchant family had succeeded in build an ocean going carrack,(a ship not typically used by the lunar empire) and was planning a maiden voyage to a merfolk colony. however with recent reports of increased deep ocean pirate activity he thought it best to "hire" some help in aiding the protection of the vessel and had come to the guild based off past good experiences. their were 7 of us + a Ram named muffin (apparently we cant use muffin to batter down doors, nor is he emergency food) in the meeting, with most of us been solid front line fighters. notable things that happened during the meeting were

• Kaitva managed to talk our employer to pay us nearly 7 times the original amount a day, as a result we nominated her party leader.
• We collectively managed to bargain our employer to provide us with greater enchantments in all four areas for the season.
• house Sulis on a reduction of two days worth of pay sourced us all a silvered lunar styled javelin incase of underwater combat needs. (I'm not good with spear like weapons)
• I volunteered as Scribe, The elf Arcadia decided to become our military strategist, tho without any Real knowledge, (none of us have military scientist)

We were informed that the vessel, Sulis Aquae Tranquillitas, would be departing in two days time at 10am.
By the end of the next day we had all gotten our greater enchantments and our silvered spears ready for the journey starting the next day. On the day of departure we are cooked a nice breakfast by Remel, and head to the docks. the ship is a slightly slimmer merchant carrack with 2 ballista's, one at each end of the ship. We are introduced to the ships officer's as we await our Chef whos running a little late. The ships cook is working for their passage to Pacifica and is none other than our fellow adventurer Snowdrop.

over the next few days of sailing we were all taught by Kaitva how to use are new javelins to a basic degree. we also had opportunities to learn about been a sailor and we participated in some climbing races up some of the rigging to the crows nest, which Arcadia narrowly won. the rough sea's made me and Kaitva feel a little bit out of our element but nothing serious resulted.... outside a bit of a loss of apatite. It took three days to get through Confederation Bay out to deep sea in the Distinian Gap

On our forth day after reaching the Distinian Gap, we encountered a strange singing that while oblivious for the most part had a charming effect, kaitva tried to counter-spell on the party but something went wrong and she has a bit of a memory issue now. we eventually came across a slightly smaller vessel flying palestrinian colours. as they approached the charming effect intensified, charming me and about half of the crew. as the ship approached us they changed their flag to pirate flags and prepared shoot their ballista headed with Greek fire of some manner, burning one of our masts. once some distance had been closed Emrys opened fire with his fire magic and set all three of the enemies masts ablaze. Remel tried to disrupt the pirate vessel choppy with water currents and foggy mist, however both were foiled by enemy mages. the vessel pulled up beside each other and I prepared an adhesive spell on the middle of the boarding ramp to bottleneck and disrupt those trying to come across and possible cause them to fall into the water as they bump into each other from the rush of momentum.
