It is early morning when the crew of the Fading Dawn readies itself to leave the port of Narrowplate behind. The green waves of the Wildsea are lightly rustling in the gentle wind and shimmering and glittering with dew in the low sun, clearly visible in the clouddless sky. It appears to be a perfect day to put to sea.
Their stay in the town of simple wooden huts built on a huge – though comparatively narrow – plate of metal, undoubtedly originally part of a much larger construction from pre-Verdant times, has been a productive one. Narrowplate is a relatively old, at least a decade by now, trade town located on top of the canopy of the Thrash in a fairly well-traversed region. They managed to do some trading, fill up their rations and fuel and are now preparing their trusty ship to set out once again to traverse the green canopy of the Wildsea.
Also, describe what you are doing to get the ship ready to leave. You have the description of the Fading Dawn here. Feel free to make something up that fits.Just as their preparations are finishing up, the ship and crew are approached by a small group of three ardent, two men and a woman. As Narrowplate has no formal government, matters of community organization are overseen by a council of merchants. Each of these three is wearing a fragment of black insect shell pinned to their clothes, a sign that they are members of this council.
One of them, an old man in long, simple clothes, raises a hand in greeting and says: "Good morning, my friends." Once the wildsailors have turned their attention to him and his group, he says: "As you are departing today, we were hoping you could do a favor for us."
The woman, short and stocky with darkly tanned skin, adds: "Unless of course you already have somewhere you urgently need to go. But I am sure we can find a way to make this trip worth your while."
