Re: The Burning Sands Desert
Those still left in the common room enjoy a few more drinks and some stories of travel and adventure that keeps them up until the last patron exits the inn or retires upstairs to their room. Such is the fate of those who make friends with a bard, after all, their lives are dedicated to stories and entertainment so there's never a dull moment with one around. The sun rises early the next day and finds the group of adventurers scrambling to get ready to make their appointment with Captain Broadarm aboard the questionably named Leaking Lifeboat, a name the group is just now getting to see as the large slender ship has turned in port to reveal a painted picture of a rather worried looking man in a small boat with an large spout of water coming out of the bottom of his boat with the name painted in elegant white letters bellow it.
The boat itself is about an 80 foot long ash wood caravel with two great white masts. The diverse crew is scrambling about on deck, in the rigging, everywhere getting the ship ready to leave port. Many of the crew are dwarvenkind though there are humans, gnomes, halflings, and even a tengu among them though the latter is in the crow's nest, sure to be the butt of many jokes. Captain Broadarm is pacing the deck yelling out orders to his crew with Temnir already on board eyeing the dwarf captain when he spies the group walking up to the docks as does the captain.
Broadarm grasps the railing and looks like he's about to fall over it with how far he's leaning over it and point at Raznik as he approaches, "You there, ya see the sun? See 'ow it's in the sky already? What point o' 'we leave at sunrise' don'tya understand boy? Get on up here you lot, we got distance t' make between us n' this port." He turns away and goes back to ordering the crew around as a pair of them lowers the gangplank for the group to board. Another two come forward to lead Cho'kobo down into the hold where he will stay during the voyage.
Moving so quickly to get to the meeting, the fact that the group is lacking a member and has picked up a new one gets seemingly overlooked until the ship has already pulled away from the harbor. If Temnir had noticed, he made no mention of it upon them boarding the ship.
