So we have our new ship, the Wind Chaser. It is big, and almost suitable for a mage of my prestige.
Before we left I went shopping - it seemed the crew wished to be all soft and trader-ish once more. But I knew the captain would eventually offend someone, or end up selling his soul, or hiring on with slavers....so I made sure I had a few more manacles just in case. One can never have enough.
I also bought a great axe for when I need one, and I had the pieces of the bloody axe that I'd taken from the old ship reforged into a new smaller battle axe.
As it happens, while we were near Jomba Town, I had cause to use it.
We saw some shipwrecked people so we went to help in our long boat. On our way in we were boarded by shark creatures. I naturally went to deal with them. Unfortunately the next thing I knew the ship was on the reef, Carlton was screaming at me and most everyone was overboard. Really. These people can't do anything without me. Very disorganised.
I dispatched the remaining sharks - with some help from the others - so that we could rescue Helene who had got into a spot of bother. She needs a bit more work as a mage. All that healing is very useful, but if she gets herself killed then her healing won't help too much. Or maybe we'd get some kind of zombie Helene who touches people and leaves behind parts of her body. That seems worse.
With my help we finally got to shore. And there...well. There was nothing. This is a problem. A real problem.
