On Stranger Tides

Kevin goes back out to see if any of his ideals could accally be implemented. Besides he has to tend to his iron defender, it took some hits in the fight.

While the others talked, Ghillie Dhu watched the undersea world.

"Pity there are no known poisonous seaweeds or I'd harvest some while I'm down here."

Though still mesmerized, the druid asked, "How long before Shargon’s Teeth reaches Stormreach?"

"It’ll take us another day of underwater travel to get to Stormreach.

"I anticipate a calm journey here on out."

"I'd hope so. Any other surprises we can look forward to with you and this ship when we dock?"

After a couple of hours undersea, the ships takes a turn around a large island, surfaces, and the magical-mechanical wing things tuck under the sides of the ship, and it seems like a normal sailing vessel again.

The captain has the remaining crew scrub and swab the deck, making it look normal. Then the captain says, "If you give these vouchers to the Sigmund Bauerson in the Wavecrest Tavern, you will be offered free room and board for a week.

"The tavern doesn't normally have tenants, but he's a friend, and he will honor these. I am so sorry for any grievances I may have caused you."

After another two hours of sailing almost completely west, you start to distinguish floating towers, with cables and ropes and ladders and bridges connecting them to each other. The sheer size of some of the structures leaves you in awe, and you realize that this was not built by humans or the other humanoid races, but by giants of a by-gone era.

The ship moves gently towards the dock, and the crewmen yell back and forth as they coordinate the movement of the ship in the appropriate position, and secure it to the dock.

You are all at the docks in Stormreach. The Wavecrest Tavern is located in this region, the captain has described where the tavern is, and you feel confident you could arrive there without issue.

Seraphina receives an urgent summons from her order as she arrives on shore.

"It seems like there has been a change of plans, my friends! It was really nice to meet you all. I hope we meet again sometime!"

We better take the rooms at the Wavecrest Tavern, and then figure out a way to track this Raelyn character. He should have made some friends, that might be able to tell us something of his later days.
We also have to figure out if the artifact was delivered.
Any suggestion on how to go about this?

"Well, we are not to make it known who we work for, but that doesn’t mean we have to be in hiding. Let’s find out if the Storm Lord who was to get the artifact is having a party anytime soon, perhaps we can get ourselves invited if we make ourselves out to be interesting explorers or academics or the like. I quite fancy some extravagant food and drink after all that time at sea."

"One step at a time, Alin. First food, then questions and hopefully answers, then sleep. Wavecrest provides all. Once we get the lay of this city and its people at the Tavern, we can go fully exploring tomorrow."

Ghillie Dhu didn't mean to sound crotchety but the tension of the last few days had gotten to him. The longer he was on this new continent smelling exotic pollen and spore, the happier he would become.

"Have you been to the Wavecrest then? Will the wine be as good as that at a Stormlord’s party?" Alin winks at Ghillie Dhu "But you are quite right of course, no need to jump to right now. I must regain my land legs and my ability to keep food down, a night in a steady bed will do us all some good I would assume?"

"This is my first time on the continent. I doubt there will be any extravagance at Wavecrest but I do know how a good night's sleep can work wonders for the body's rhythms."

It's also my first time here. Lets get a room, food, and learn the local ways before we start kicking beehives. Kevin is a brute, but he is not stupid.

Kevin goes to the Wavecrest and secure himself a room.
