Where Kiwina grew up, it is known that the moon rises from the ocean somewhere far to the east. It's obvious, really. The moon is larger at the horizon, and gets smaller because it moves further away as it rises. And one day he will find the moon, close enough to touch. The others may already know this, as he hasn't kept it a secret.
"Listen, friends," Kiwina begins, his voice carrying the weight of anticipation. "We seem to have ended an adventure with no clue leading to another. But beyond the horizon lies a world of wonders and untold mysteries. I've dreamt of a journey that takes us where the moon rises from the ocean, casting its glow upon uncharted waters."
He gestures towards the vast expanse of the sea, where the moon's reflection dances upon the gentle waves. "Our ancestors sailed these waters guided by the spirits, and I have heard their whispers in my dreams. The sea turtles and frigate birds, messengers of the aumakua, beckon us to follow the moon's path, to chase the reflection of dreams on the open sea."
Kiwina's eyes gleamed with the fire's glow as he continued, "Imagine the thrill of sailing under the moonlight, its silvery beams illuminating our way as we navigate through the midnight waves. There are islands unexplored, each holding secrets and treasures untold. Who knows what wonders await us away from the familiar shores of Bridge Island?"
"Every sailor dreams of an adventure that transcends the ordinary, and I propose a journey that takes us beyond the horizon, into the realms of dreams and legends. We shall be the crew that sails towards the moon, not merely as observers but as seekers of the extraordinary."
As he concluded his tales, Kiwina looked into the eyes of those gathered, hoping to see the spark of adventure reflected back at him. "So, who among you dares to chase the moon with me? The sea awaits, and our destiny beckons. Let us be the sailors who turn dreams into reality and climb the moon, guided by the spirits."

Ayotnom swaps the ring of protection 4 for the ring of protection 5 (updated sheet) and gives the old 4 to Tsak as discussed.
He is all for this being sailors for a while and climbs to the crow's nest and plays lookout for a while.
Back aboard the Rose Tsak makes room in his cabin for the clockwork chest. He know's its not his alone, but it somehow makes up for the loss of Esmerelda and the smell of pearwood pleases the rangers senses. Tsak assists Ramsay and Kiwina to guide the Rose out of harbor and onto the open sea. Kiwina's dream of sailing to the moon captures Tsak's imagination and he accepts the new adventure without hesitation.

Panzer too looks over the loot and tries to figyre out how to up his defense game now that his murder game seems to be working as intended.
OOC So I was going to move Panzer over to rogue for 2 levels and then to shadowdancer. We needed a lock and trap guy and he needed 2 levels in a class that gives a stupid number of skill points to get to shadowdancer. I was waiting for my lvl 19 shadow with a zillion hp and a horrifying attack bonus all based off fighter stats. Anyway, now we are moving to 5e in January so I only get 1 more level up as Panzer next month so I think I will remain a fighter. Traps, shmaps , I'll just trigger them and let Falco heal me 8).

Panzer listens to Kiwina's tale and proposition to follow his dream. He answers the Centaur.
"Kiwina, I listened as you spoke to Redemption, and you mentioned this regret to her, never following this dream. I think it sounds like a true adventure. I would be delighted to be part of the crew that comes with you to follow this Dream."
" First though I need to solve my own regrets so I don't end up in that forest some day."
Panzer hefts his pack and heads to his bunk. Once he has shed his armor and gear, cleaned up and is calm, he opens his pack and retrieves the crystal balland a few trinkets from his pack. He holds the lock of hair his mother gave to him, and the notes his father made to introduce him to adventurers that the old badger had known when he was young. He held then and pictured his parents as he had last seen them, sad at his departure, but proud of him nonetheless. He gathers his will and suddenly the ball blazes and shows them to him. Tears fall on his shirt and he watches the scene for as long as the ball shows it.
When it fades the sits for a moment and then puts away his trinkets and memories and returns the ball and the evil blade from the Lich to the treasure room. He returns to the deck and sits with his new friends, happy to have them, and a new adventure to embark on.

Beech, Spends time on the trip trying to figure out where he can help on board the ship... After a few days, and a few muttered curses and at least two, "move your lard filled butt outa the way" comments, he decides the best thing to do is stay out of the way. He also thinks back over the adventuring stories he's heard hanging out in places like the Giggling Ghost, when he was just a kid, as well as overhearing things being discussed at various councils... "Hey, guys, I think finally remembered something. In that big city where they used to use chits or something like that I think they were called, I seem to remember a big Minotaur with wings, of course I can't remember his name, but he and a few of his group were discussing flying their ship up in the sky. Well, if we are going to chase the Moon, maybe we can borrow that Ship from them." He's not sure he has the story straight, but it's an idea...

Tsak is sure that the fact the Rose is can be powered by steam as required and also acts as a submersible makes her pretty special. Adding flying would sure be something, but all the questions it raises makes his head spin. Excusing himself from the conversation he makes his way to the crows nest for some quiet contemplation and a bit of staring at the stars.

Synopsis
After several forays, the party was able to permanently rid the Wold of the Lich Acthoor. What followed their second meeting was a grand celebration and send off by the community and the Druids they had helped become the guardians of the region.
The party returned to their boat, the Rose. After settling in, the conversation turned to a destination.
Kiwina shared a dream, “to follow the moon’s path, explore unknow regions or islands, and allow the spirits, or Aumakua to guide their path. Who knows what is out there, and who will join me exploring?” Following sharing this dream, Kiwina is pleasantly surprised at how quickly his friends agreed to travel with him.
Ayotnom finds the idea of “being sailors” intriguing and spends much of his time in the crows nest, enjoying the wind and what spray catches him
Tsak gets his room back in order and has the chest “Bud” hang out there. Upon hearing Kiwina’s dream, Tsak is all for following the moons’ path
Before boarding the Rose, Mak spends time letting Elmer stretch their legs, with a simple ride through the countryside. Once Mak is onboard, and settled, and has listened to Kiwinas’ dream, he asks some follow-up questions, "What's your plan? Sail to the spot where the moon rises and let it lift us from the water beneath us?" Mak asked as he thought it over. "How do we get back? Do we rise from the depths of the ocean the next night? Will we need to breathe underwater like we did before?" All these reasonable questions do draw concerned looks from the crew who mutter about the sanity of the group
Panzer is all for helping Kiwina, sharing ”When you spoke to Redemption, and you mentioned this regret to her, never following this dream. I think this sounds like a true adventure, sign me up my friend.” Panzer heads to his room to unpack and change out of his armor. While in the solitude of his room, he pulls out the crystal ball and some personal items and uses the ball to see his parents. Once done, he returns to the deck. Highlight to display spoiler: {That dagger you took off the Lich. It is no longer evil, and no longer enchanted, but it is a cool souvenir of the battles you lived through. As far as I’m concerned it’s a MW dagger, since it would have been in order for it to be enchanted.} Following this, Panzer re-dons his armor, and pitches in where he can
Beech takes some time to reorient himself on traveling by boat, having been spoiled by magical portals. After several days of being “politely” asked to move, Beech remembers a story, ”Wasn’t there a winged minotaur with a flying ship, maybe we could borrow that to chase the moon.”
Falco shares with Beech that the Rose “has been underwater with us once, but having a flying ship would be something.”
Kiwina responds to Mak, ”Maybe we can grapple onto the moon as it passes us, then we can return to the water when it does.”
Ayotnom asks an appropriate question, ”You want me to fly out and grapple with the moon?”
Mak then provides some insight into the “how” behind he and his friends hitching a ride on or with the moon, mentioning magical rope, literally clinging onto the moon, and not forgetting to bring their folding boat.
With all the talk of flying, the moon, and travelling, Tsak takes to the Crow’s Nest to do some hard thinking.
Falco, ever the voice of reason brings up a “sticky” point, ”this whole moon plan seems awfully bad, isn’t this the sort of quest that magic would help circumnavigate.”
Panzer’s mention of teleporting and Beech brings a response from Beech that he is “working on long-range teleporting.” He does share that his mother is able to send other people great distances with her magics, but feels that she is “cheating” somehow
The size and composition of the moon has been discussed for eons, however, as Kiwina points out to Mak and his other friends, ”The only way to answer those questions is to go see it for ourselves.”
A discussion about a trip to the catacombs occurs and then is shelved as the amount of items the party has at this time doesn't seem to merit a visit.

Tsak watches his companions argue and debate about how they're planning to fly us to the moon. It reminds him of being on a boat with dwarves, well the ingeniously snarky bits anyway. A wry smile crosses his face as he realises the petals are seriously discussing something that for most beings would be a complete impossibility. Life sure is interesting as an adventurer.

Falco checks out of the moon discussion thinking they would need to do research and preparation who even knows how hot or cold the moon is or if the environment would be as bad as Wolds blood. He spends his time working about the ship and taking watches in the crows next whenever he can.
JonS Co-DM - "Hey Diddle Diddle" Thursday June 13th, 2024 8:00:42 PM
While Tsak does a bit of drinking, and fishing, or possibly vice versa, the rest of the group banters and discusses Kiwina's plan of "visiting the moon, Warrd's moon to be specific."
While there are many locations of reference materials on the subject, and a slight chance that other Wold'ians have visited said moon, Kiwina persists that the "spirits will help" the party in their endeavor to reach the moon.
As the sun begins to set, stars begin to appear in the sky. Once the sun has sunk beneath the horizon, the moons begin to rise. Tonight Warrd is brighter in the sky, possibly showing off, or just pleased to be in charge of the night sky. The sailors see this as a good omen, especially since the use of lamps may not be needed.
As the Petals look over the water, moonlight filters through the waters around them, almost pointing them in a direction.
Tsak, between "sips" of liquor, has caught several nice-sized sea bass, which the cook offers to clean and cook for a late dinner. "We have some vegetables I need to use, so I'll start them roasting and get these fine fish cleaned and cooked.!"
As the smells of roasting vegetables, and fish cooking wash over the deck, a few dolphins can be seen playfully following the Rose

Some murmur that the group is crazy, others that this sounds like an interesting trip, one in the back pulls something out from under his shirt, a small shell with symbols inlaid in silver which Kiwina recognizes as a "spirit quest" item.
Outside of the stories, the guys hanging out in the Crow's Nest (Tsak and Mak) the night passes uneventfully.
As the moons set, the sun seems sluggish, and the ocean is covered in heavy fog ... a few loud splashes are heard, which prompt sailors to look over the sides of the ship. There are two grey whales (or the Wold equivalent), gently gliding alongside the Rose, looks like mother and calf. The calf is playfully splashing water on his mother, and on the starboard side of the ship.

Ayotnom watches the 2 whales. He thinks it might be fun to swim with them but knows it isn't a good idea to leave the ship and also since it is a mother and calf, the mother might not like a random bull headed swimmer showing up.

As the ship sails steadily through the waves, Kiwina stands at the bow, gazing out at the ocean with a deep sense of awe. Suddenly, he spots a mother whale and her calf gracefully swimming alongside the vessel. His heart leaps with excitement, and he turns to the crew, his eyes shining with a mixture of joy and reverence. "Look!" Kiwina calls out, pointing towards the majestic whales. "Look at them!"
"This is a sign," Kiwina explains. "Aumakua often appear as whales, and it is auspicious when they do. They are here to protect and guide us on our journey. Whales are wise, strong, and deeply connected to the ocean. Seeing a mother and her calf together is especially powerful. It means that we are being watched over by our ancestors, that we have their blessing and protection."
"Panzer, your connection with your parents may have helped summon them. Thank you."
Kiwina watches the whales, hoping to glean some guidance from their actions. (Knowledge, nature = 18; religion = 23)

Beech just shakes his head.... Thinking to himself, This almost as bad as some of the more simpler of the clans on Liontaur Isle. Seeing signs and portents in everything. for example, a butterfly lands on a pack animal, it's taken as a sign to move the camp, but depending on who interprets said sign, determines if the camp moves the way the butterfly is facing or the other way.... He goes back to watching the whales, just enjoying the beauty of them....

Falco wakes with the sun and goes to watch the whales and listens to Kiwina as he talks about the whales. He dismisses the talk over them being guides as he is sure a higher power would not be so circumspect at this point given their involvement in past events. After a bit he excuses himself and does his morning prayers.

Ayotnom hears some of the sailors talking about whaling the calf and walks over their way.
(OOC: Last summer I went to mystic seaport CT and they have an old whaling vessel there that you can tour and they do demonstrations)
He says, "Not that you'd want to interrupt Kiwana's omen of good fortune, but hypotethically speaking if we wanted to whale anything are we even equipped for such endeavors? I hear whaling is a tough and dirty business and besides the harpoons and rope and smaller boats to actually whale from do we have enough large vats to render the blubber? Also do you think if you attacked that calf the mother wouldn't have anything to say about it? I for one would not want to be in a rowboat with an angry momma whale out and about. Probably best to think about some other endeavor eh lads?"

Mak sits perched in the crow’s nest, high above the deck of the ship, his eyes scanning the endless horizon. The salty wind tugged at his hair and filled his lungs with the fresh scent of the sea. As the sun begins its descent, casting a golden hue over the rippling waves, Mak's thoughts drift far from his current post.
He lets out a sigh, leaning against the wooden rail of the crow’s nest. The rhythmic creak of the ship and the gentle sway beneath his feet were constants, but his mind is elsewhere. Despite the beauty of the open ocean, Mak longs for the bustling energy of a tavern. He can almost hear the raucous laughter, the clinking of mugs, and the melodic strum of a bard’s lute.
"Ah, a tavern," he murmurs to himself, a wistful smile playing on his lips. "A warm fire, a hearty meal, and a tankard of ale. That’s what I need."

Several days pass, with the sun setting, the moon showing off, and the sun rising. On the third night since the moon showed up full, the navigator seems to be having an issue, and is overheard speaking with the Captain about, "I think our heading is off, or something is off, the Moon shouldn't still be full."
The sailors who hear this look like they are going to start a discussion, and then spot the number of Petals on the deck, and go back to mending ropes, nets, and sails.
Kiwina, Panzer, and Tsak (before he wanders off to find food) watch as the whales slow their swimming and allow the ship to continue without them.

That night, the cook brings out a hearty fish stew, with many vegetables and warm drop biscuits for dinner. He also has leftovers from lunch that he has turned into meat pies. Cheese, bread, and pickles (spicy ones) are also provided.

Tsak catches bits and pieces of conversation regarding the moon and its fullness. He's not particularly worried. The whales didn't seem concerned, and the ranger places a lot of faith in animals and their finely honed senses. He just assumes any changes to the moon are the result of the Rose travelling slowly toward it.
In the galley he helps the cook out here and there, and helps himself a couple of drop biscuits straight out of the oven.

The ship sailed on, steady and true, carrying its crew through the ever-changing moods of the sea. For Mak, the crow’s nest was a place of duty, but also a place of dreams. Dreams of warmth, laughter, and the camaraderie found in the snug corners of a well-loved tavern. "Just a few more days," he told himself. "Then we'll be done, and I’ll have that ale."
Mak’s eyes continued their vigilant watch, scanning for any signs of trouble. Pirates, storms, or hidden reefs—his job was to spot these dangers before they could catch the ship unawares. But in his heart, he was already seated at a rough-hewn table, listening to the din of conversation and the occasional outburst of a hearty song.

Kiwina finds the change in the moon fascinating, and takes it as a good sign. A very powerful one. When the whales let them go unhurriedly, he takes that as good too, as if the Rose had been guided where she needs to be.
"It is important now that we remain respectful and pay attention to the natural and spiritual signs around us. This moon is both our new guide and a reminder to stay vigilant and prepared." Kiwina brings out his rod, so that his ghostly spirit companions can be seen, and talks to them about what he observes. He hopes for clear dreams tonight.

The day passes rather uneventfully. Again, dinner is fresh caught fish and vegetables. A small cask of rum is opened. When Mak and Falco switch spots in the Crow's Nest, Mak informs Falco, "I thought I saw, well something on the horizon. So keep a weather eye out." Mak then saunters on deck looking for food and drink.

The cook seems to relish having a helper in the kitchen as most of the sailors tend to shy away from his and his big cleaver. He begins showing Tsak ways to clean and prepare fish, as that is the major source of meat they get. ”Eating fish day in and day out, gets old. That’s why spices and the various cooking methods are great. Now, some of what we catch has to be cared for specially, some fish have poison sacs, others have spines with poisoned tips, mainly that’s their weapons and armor.”

Falco warns Ramsey to slow the Rose, which he does by lowering the main sail. As the Rose slows to almost a crawl, everyone aboard can see the glowing lilies, each the diameter of a dinner plate. The smell they put off washes away the smells of the sea, salt, body odors, and anything else.
As the flowers make their way around the ship, they begin pushing it towards the rather large moon sitting on the horizon.
Small issue is that no one can recollect watching the sun set and the moon rise.
After what feels like several hours, the flowers begin slowing the ship down to a crawl ... about 100 yards away, there is something in the water ... the something is at least 100' in diameter, and it is slowly approaching the ship.
The Petals notice that none of the crew are calling for weapons or to prepare for an attack, they seem to be in a haze. In fact, their bodies appear hazy, and change from one shape to another ... Kiwinia recognizes some of the shapes as those the Aumakua take when appearing to mortals ...

Kiwina followed sea turtles and frigate birds to find the Taur Islands. "Honu nui is not going to hurt us," he says. "Honu Nui graces us with its presence, a guardian of the sea. Let's ensure we navigate these waters with respect and gratitude."
Kiwina watches the turtle. He has seen aumaku communicate through dreams, signs, and omens, but never directly. . . At least, so far.

Tsak feels the boat slow and wakes to find the main sail being lowered. He's instantly alert, this is unusual. Getting to his feet he makes his way to the wheelhouse to see whats going on. He sees the flowers but feels no alarm. Moving to the bow and adopting his usual stoicism he patiently waits to see what will happen.

The sea turtle closes and then stops, it reaches out and rests its head on the prow of the boat, big eyes looking at everyone ... one by one the crew seem to be helped to the deck, and within a few moments are all snoring ... the turtle winks at Panzer, and then vanishes in an explosion of light. When the light fades, there is a man, woman, something shifting from shape to shape so fast its both scary and cool.
"Well gentlemen, you like my moon do you. It is nice, the light is appealing to so many, often as bright as the sun, but without all that heat."
He looks at each of you then stops at Kiwina, "You're the one. You've talked with my guides. Princess and her calf enjoyed playing with your, well they said toy, but you understand ... now, what can I do for you and your friends?"

Then there is another person? entity is more like it, there. He speaks joyfully and welcomes the Petals. He focuses on Kiwina, its her quest after all and he talks about the whales.....They had names! But of course they did Panzer, he says to himself, they weren't just any whales, they were HIS whales.
The crabs offer them a drink, and Panzer cordially, he thinks, accepts. Unlike Tsak though he waits to drink it. This fellow looks like the type that offers a toast, and Panzer wants to be sure that he has a drink in hand when it is offered.
" What can I do for you and your friends?" Well isn't that the question. Panzer has no clue. Kiwina suggested this quest, and it sounded pretty hard, going to the moon and all. But in reality they just sailed....that way until all this stuff happened. Were they supposed to ask for something? Panzer has no idea. So he puts on his best I am so happy to be here face and waits for Kiwina to rescue them by talking.

Falco takes the drink as offered keeping an eye on the new arrival. He thinks of the Saragrass incident and how that shook the Wold which dampens any excitement he might have for a higher powers direct intervention.

The drink is surprisingly bubbly and sweet. AS you drink it the cares and concerns of the last few weeks seem to wash away.
Drinking from their own larger chalice, the figure looks up at the moon, "I don't know if I've ever come across someone, well a whole group of someone's who want to visit my moon. If I could snap my fingers and make it so, we'd be there. But, as with all things there are rules. There do exist portals that can bring you my moon, you just have to find them. There are places in the Catacombs that will whisk you away to the most dangerous lands you've encountered. There is a rumor that another place exists within the Sargrass, but I've never visited it. While I can't take you there, I can offer you something from my realm. When the sun rises you shall find them."
Taking another long pull on his chalice he looks around, "Any questions gentlemen, the night grows long and I can feel the sun lurking beneath the horizon."

Kiwina stands at the bow of his ship, the surrounding sea bathed in the ethereal glow of the enlarged moon, which hangs low in the sky like a great silver orb. The moon lilies float serenely around the vessel, their delicate, luminous petals reflecting the moonlight and creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. As Honu Nui, the great sea turtle, approaches, Kiwina feels a profound sense of reverence and purpose.
At the great turtle's question, Kiwina explains. His voice is filled with a mix of awe and determination. "Guardian of the sea, I am a navigator. I have journeyed far and faced many trials to reach this point. Since I was a child, I have felt a calling, a destiny that compels me to sail eastward, to the place where the moon rises from the ocean. This journey is a quest for discovery, and a pilgrimage to fulfill a deep spiritual longing."
He pauses, gathering his thoughts, the moon's gentle light casting his face in a soft glow. "The stories of my people speak of a place where the earthly realm meets the celestial, where the boundaries between land, sea, and sky blur. I believe that this is where I am meant to go, to climb onto the moon and find enlightenment, to connect with the spirits of my ancestors, to ride above the land and see its geography laid out before me, and to understand my place in the universe."
"With your guidance, Honu Nui, I hope to reach the moon and fulfill the purpose that has been calling to me all my life."

Mak looked back at Tsak. "Really? The last time some guy like this messed with us he killed someone." Mak said, getting the sequence of events wrong purposely. "No wait. He made us beg to NOT kill someone." he said in exasperation as the cool liquid in the chalice called to him.
"That does look good." Mak admitted. "I suppose someone bring us libation can't be all bad." he said as he took a slow sip which ended up with the chalice bottom up and Mak Smacking his lips.

Listening intently as the figure spoke of portals and the potential to visit his moon, Mak exchanged a skeptical glance with Tsak. His memories of past encounters with powerful beings were tinged with caution and skepticism, but the allure of the moon and the promise of something new stirred a sense of curiosity within him.
"Questions, eh?" Mak mused aloud, his voice tinged with a hint of skepticism. "What exactly is the Sargrass? Is this a place we should seek out, or avoid?" His tone was measured, betraying both his curiosity and lingering reservations.
As he finished his questions, Mak raised his chalice once more, taking another satisfying sip of the glowing liquid but finding that his cup was empty. The taste was exquisite, a blend of flavors that seemed to dance on his tongue, momentarily distracting him from the weight of uncertainty that hung in the air.
"Whatever path we choose," Mak continued, addressing the shape-shifting figure, "your hospitality and this drink are much appreciated. It seems we find ourselves in your realm not by chance, but on a quest to satisfy Kiwina's life long goal. I look forward to seeing what the results of that quest are."

Kiwina listens intently, absorbing the creature's words. It becomes clear to him that literally riding the moon out of the ocean might not be the path destined for him. Instead, he understands that his journey might involve traversing these mystical portals, venturing into unknown and perilous realms to reach his goal. Though this revelation brings a tinge of disappointment, that is the way of things when the spirits are involved.
With a deep bow of respect, Kiwina addresses the creature, his voice steady and filled with gratitude. "Thank you, great one, for your wisdom and your generosity. While the path you describe is different from what I had envisioned, I am honored by your guidance and the gifts you have bestowed upon us. We will seek out these portals."

Panzer watches everything going on wondering about these “gifts in the morning.” He was also glad that Tsak got a possible escalation de-escalated.
Mak looks for information on the “Sargrass,” but is happy to support his friend
Kiwina listens to everything being said, and thanks the figure/person/spirit for their “Wisdom and generosity.” Kiwina promises to seek out one of the mentioned portals
Tsak mentions that the Sargrass is a “Weird place,” and that the Sargrass is where they got the Rose. Then his mind begins to wander back through past exploits.
Falco mentions that the Sargrass is the “center of a World changing event, which is how the Warper-Sar and their brethren into the Wold.” An event which changed Falco forever. Following some Q&A with Mak, Falco begins to reminisce about past group members and how he is still present.
Beech considers his own quest and what it might entail, and with whom, and then remembers that during this “World changing event” he was in the Culverwood, helping design a drawbridge over a river to allow trade barges to go up and down river. The whole crazy seed thing appeared to have taken care of the bridge issue
Ayotnom had asked at one point about hints or clues to the nearest portal location.

The monks who dwell there can set you upon the path, if you can appease them. Though being difficult to navigate, less people die by using this route than the others.}
Mak questions Falco’s statement about the Sargrass, “I’m not sure it exists. Then prompts Falco with a question of his own, “You sure you didn’t imagine it?”
The being looks over the party, “Questions answered as well I am allowed, hearts at ease, good stiff drink to start the day, it feels like my time is up. The sun is so impatient. I can help you with one more thing though.”
An explosion of soft white and golden light erupts as the figure vanishes … when everyone can see again, the Petals notice items have been placed in their hands … Beech and Panzer recognize these, having been gifted one by Queen Maab … Falco, Tsak, Mak, and Ayotnom all find a large moonlily flower in their hands … Moonflower: Works like a hero point, does not count against the total limit of hero points. Can be "gifted" to another player in the party if needed.
Kiwina finds a heavy silver chain has been placed in his right hand – attached to the chain is a droplet shaped crystal bottle containing liquid moonlight Highlight to display spoiler: { This item provides you with 4 benefits: 1) The Spirits can aid you when making a Craft, Heal, or Survival skill check. May reroll any failed check, but you must use the new roll. No daily limit, other than you can only reroll a check once.

4) You now have a personal spirit guide, who takes whatever form you wish. The Spirit provides you access to two Druid cantrips each day, which can be changed each day.}
The other thing, which the Petals are alerted to, is that the ship seems to have changed direction, 180 degrees with a light breeze moving the Rose along. There is also a large round floating disk (10' across) which is covered in "breakfast" kinds of things, as well, two large decanters of the liquid all of you drank earlier, and another stone pot which seems to contain a hot drink (2 gallons of hot coffee).

Sounds like they need to swing by a city connected to the Catacombs on the way south. Kiwina's not sure, but suspects all major cities are. He's also heard that people don't just sail south.

Beech, knowing only one place down south... "Hook City I'm sure has a Catacombs entrance, and yeah, sailing south is just fine, it's when we come to the edge of the Wold that it becomes a problem." Beech eats but doesn't over stuff himself...

"Aren't we going to the Sargrass though? We'll miss the end of the Wold" Ayotnom says

Ok...so there's not a way to start like a new thread is there? If not then I'll talk to Mark about how we are going to torture you guys now that you're done talking to the man or woman in the moon

Panzer snores on contentedly, full of food.

Tsak slowly makes his way to his bunk. His tummy is making weird noises and his head is a little fluffy. He tucks himself in and slinks off into blissful slumber.

Falco, well fed and ready for the day, decides to spend the day working on the rigging. He moves methodically retying the various knots that make up the life blood of the ship.

Ayotnom asks, "Can we lay a course for the Sargrass? If there is no manmade harbor perhaps there is some natural cove we could anchor in and then use row boats to land? Though how far away are we from the Sargrass and does anyone know what the monks there like? Perhaps we should see if we can figure that out before headed there directly?"

OOC: You can start a new thread. On the DM side you should see a couple of "New" buttons beside the current chapter. You can also change the subject line.

Panzer continues snoring. Seems like nothing will overcome this food overload.

OOC: Thanks James, sometimes I'm blonde, well blind too, great the blind leading the blonde ugh =)
A more fun and fulfilling post is upcoming on Monday ... will the party be eaten by a whale? Seduced by siren's? Sucked into a maelstrom and sent hurtling to another world? Stay tuned for further updates, same Bat-time, same Bat-station ... remember kids, don't get into the van until you've seen the puppies =)

Kiwina confers with Ramsey about the best course to set -- first a major town for the Catacombs, then the Sargrass. They had been headed east, so perhaps somewhere in New Elenna.

Tsak awakes to a new day. He spends his time fishing off the back of the Rose.
