"Remember that we promised them freedom. These noble creatures were never meant to serve us. I vote to return Chelonax to her mother, then see Magda and Lena safely home, then to this market to find out where we are exactly. But before all that, how about a drink, aye?"

Aye, aye. An having two o the beasts on our side should we need it...especially since we dinae ken these waters

With the decision made, you set your course east with Chelonax leading the way. "I didn't mean to break your boat, honest! They were making me do it!"

The crew remains vigilant against another ambush, but no threats appear for a good while.

Magda seems very interested in everything on the ship, particularly the captain. She says she's never seen a minotaur before. She also spends time at the prow, wind whipping her wispy grey hair, watching Chelonax. While she carries the baby, Lena, in her arms the whole time, she doesn't seem very motherly. She confesses she never married, and never had children.
OOC:
Anyone who wishes can interact with Chelonax and/or Magda. We will assume Zale translates for the dragon turtle.

It will take about an hour and a half to get to your destination. Everyone benefits from a Short Rest during this time.

Zale spends some time meditating but other than that he tries to learn as much as he can about Chelonax and her kind. Does she have any other family besides her mother? Does she have friends? Dragon turtles, or other creatures? Where are they now? Has she met surface dwellers before? What can she tell me about the oceans here?
OOC:
Now at 75/77hp, and 8/8 ki.

Chelonax says she's never known any other dragon turtles apart from her mom. But she's very young, barely even a century old! She's very curious about surface dwellers but her mom forbids her to approach any of their settlements or their boats, so Chelonax is glad to have met all of you. Her mom's name is Alcyestris.

Halfway to where Alcyestris was last seen, a lifeboat is sighted. It seems to be missing its oars. The little craft bobs up and down on the waves, drifting along the ocean currents directly in the Kestrel's path. There is only one occupant.
OOC:
That's your cue, @Silent! :-)

"Ahoy!" a pale skin human with short Raven hair and oddly a full red beard stands in the lifeboat. She puts on a large hat with a feather in it and continues waving to get the attention of the passing ship. "Ahoy!, I am Captain manybeards, surrender your vessel and I will allow you to be part of my crew!" she yells from the lifeboat with "The Minnow" crudely carved in the side.

If he is awake for this elbows the nearest crewman. fetch the capnhe whispers. Ahoy there, I am Ian first mate o this vessel.

Grog saunters over, two mugs in his hands as he had been drinking during his down time. He offers one to Ian before hopping up onto a crate or something close by to the railing.

"Grog! he shouts down at the strange human bobbing in their little dingy.
Apr 7, 2019 11:41 pm
Nela is quietly still in her room. She is there with Kitty, Shine, and Domare.
Apr 8, 2019 12:11 am
Sniffs the drink, if it seems safe, drinks. Ye seem to have lost yer oars Cap'n Manybeard
Apr 8, 2019 12:19 am
"Been a long time since I had a good drink, sure I'll have some grog my good man!" she shifts her attention to back to Ian "Nice to me you First Mate Ian, you wouldn't happen to know where we are or even what day it is? I lost count after day four hundred seventeen."
Apr 8, 2019 12:40 am
Bloody hell 413?! Nae, we dinae ken where we are, but the turtle is tryin t help
Apr 8, 2019 12:47 am
Grog looks mostly offended by the weirdo thinking they were being offered his mug.

" Grog's grog! Me Grog!

He then stamps his foot on top of what he's standing on.
