Cortez: Law of the Sea

We made a few stops along the way, but we're now heading into the midst of it. I still remember the brutality of the Flotsam Sea when I first came to this world. I am more confident now, not just in my own skills as a captain, but my new body seems better suited to this world. I probably should look into what's necessary to return to my human form. Maybe a potion. Maybe a mage. I'd ask Krastus, but I somehow think he doesn't know. He'd likely have told me if he knew. Probably as a joke. But he did turn into a little human girl once. So perhaps he does know.

But back to the sea. It feels good to sail out and hunt the seas for what we need. A strange task to find a ship recently through a portal. We found a Kieran vessel trapped in a whirlpool. We risked ourselves to save them, and we were successful. They were very grateful, the captain gifted me with a new steering wheel. Enchanted he says. It does seem to glide easy during storms and calm quite the same.

Well, we've found our ship. We killed some octomen. Now we need to see if this ship contains the water we need.

We Sail The Sees, We Ignore The Krastus

So we finally set out away from the burning jungle - it felt like it had been an age. We had some things in our hold, and it seemed best to offload them as we considered what to do next.

There was a debate over what we needed to do and well, we argued for some time over destination as well - it was a normal discussion in that regard. We finally got ourselves into port - but they had no demand for our goods. So we had to go find something bigger. And we also set upon a mission - to head out to find a wreck that would have some drinkable water in its water barrel. A suggestion form Krastus. That people listened to. I did nearly die in shock.

As we made our way deep into the Flotsom Sea, we came across a ship stuck in a whirlpool. We had to help them out by shooting them with an anchor, I then used my magic to give us the speed to pull them clear. They were very thankful - for Kierans. They pointed us to a wreck, and gave us a new ship's wheel. Which was a weird gift to have lying around, but people are weird.

As we headed to this abandoned ship, we made ready to board across to it. Unfortunately ocotopods were on the ship as we tried to board it, so we had to fight them off. I helpfully made my way off the edge of the boat after a slight encounter with some of them. I must have knocked my head on the way down, I don't fully remember the rest....maybe Helene will tell us. She is always standing back and observing things from a distance. Sometimes tied up to a mast. I like those times.
