"The command word for the folding boat is 'Desplegar,'" Zale tells his crewmates. He offers Zubak's pistol-axes to anyone who wants them. "I'm not very good with guns," he explains.

Ian finds the key in Safford Stampes' left boot.

The silvered chest contains:
• a velvet pouch containing 500gp worth of gems.
• a notebook filled with rude limericks and lewd drawings.
• a perfumed, silken handkerchief with one frayed corner.

There's more: tattooed on the sole of the dead man's left foot is a childishly drawn map. Checking the other foot, you fnd a second map. The two seem to be connected. Valrakas wrinkles his nose as he peers at the smelly, tattooed feet. "What d'ye reckon, me hearties? Worth investigatin'?"

Harold and the other old salts rub their chins and offer different opinions on exactly where this treasure island might be found. They argue for a long while but come to no consensus except that it's beyond the Great Gyre. They also warn that you should avoid the mermaids at all costs. "Don't be lured by their siren song. They'll pull you down to the deeps!"

So wax in the was then. And d ye old tars have a map o these waters? we've been blown far a field.

"Maps? Who needs maps? Are you being serious? Any idiot knows these waters by heart, and can navigate by the stars!"

"Me crew's th' finest sailors ye can ask fer, no two ways about it!" Valrakas booms. "But we be lost at sea -- these be unfamiliar waters! Can't anyone draw us some charts?"

"Well I suppose if you need something drawn, Bob is your man. You'll find his studio next to the rope maker's workshop."

OOC:
oh if this means we've pulled in to port.
At the notion of getting maps Phillip quickly makes ready to disembark and get some "souvenirs".

OOC:
Yeah we're docked.

Where do you go? What do you do?

Nela has some Rum to attend to now that the distractions are gone.
Nov 12, 2019 4:53 pm
Jineer will make her way into the market to get some new clothes.

Pelner looks at the half inflated balloon sadly, Will we be docked for an extended period? And as he says that he sees Phillip exit down the gangplank and sighs. Then starts the process to deflate the envelope and refold it into the basket.

Looking to Nela, That was some very fine work holding the enemies ship with the waves. I had thought we would be in a protracted chase but this crew has some very amazing abilities. He looks to Valrakas Captain, permission to add turret stations next to the cannons for easier placement of my monkeys.

Nela says as she heads to her RUM, The waters are always my friends. There be some rum that is friendly too.

"That's what I recruited ye fer! Do it," Valrakas says to Pelner. "Someone go see this Bob about sea charts."

The minotaur casts a sidelong glance at Astrias. "Th' triton King ain't in a hurry, is he?"
Nov 13, 2019 6:16 pm
With a quick bob of his head and a smile on his face Pelner rushes off. Right away, sir. Then starts constructing platforms off the rails at each side of the cannon batteries.

Zale dismisses his elemental and goes with Ian or whoever else are visiting the cartographer. But not before hearing Astrias' response to Captain Valrakas' question.
Nov 14, 2019 12:35 pm
Heads to the cartographer, and also to get himself some rum, and extra shot if possible
Nov 15, 2019 3:03 pm
Jineer will also like to meet the Cartographer, but needs clothes first.
Nov 15, 2019 11:11 pm
Astrias replies to the gruff captain. "He's made no specific demands on time...and besides I'm quite enjoying this adventure."
Nov 16, 2019 10:52 pm
The dwarven barb gets excited when Zale offers up the pistols, and will happily take them. 1) because he does not want to kill a "friend", or member of the pack, 2) he seemed to have lost his other pistol along the way.
After they're back in port, Grog will follow anyone going for some rum. Now be the time for drink.
