Re: DoS: Elasis 20 - Helmsport
DM/OOC-
Does it look like she¡¯s making preparations to depart??Is the crew
loading? Unloading??
Sailors are casually loading the ship. There does seem to be an impending departure but not any time soon. Several sailors are even just hanging about talking or staring
out to sea.
Is the tide incoming or outgoing??
The tide is low and appears to be going out. There seems to be enough water to prevent the ship from going around, but that is probably why they aren¡¯t fully loading it
at this time.
Has anyone in the immediate area seem to have noticed their sudden magical arrival?
No. Your arrival is on the outskirts near the jungle treeline south of the city. You notice a few farmers in fields a couple hundred yards away to the west but if anyone
did notice you they might think you just walked out of the wilderness.

Stepping through the magic portal, you suddenly find yourself on the outskirts of a moderately sized port city just beyond a market square near the coast. Lively yet comfortably manageable, the port itself is active with several small local
fishing boats, and one large?seafaring ship which dominates the port, its sails marked with unfamiliar symbols. The cool sea air is a blend of fish, saltwater and unusual spices.
The streets are well-populated but not congested, filled with a mix of mostly Amnian sailors in distinctive clothing interspersed with Payit locals in practical attire. Market stalls and small shops line the roads, offering everything from
fresh regional produce to intriguing looking crafted items.?
At the city¡¯s center stands a modest yet impressive stone keep, serving as a focal point for the community. Its sturdy walls and imposing presence provide a sense of security and authority. Several heavily armed and armored guardsmen mill about
its gates.?
Surrounding the keep, the buildings are functional, some adorned with modest decorative elements and subtle aromatic incense enhancements. Stone and mortar rowhouses complete the city center with wooden farmhouses and smaller thatch shanties
just beyond the borders nearer the jungle.
Overall, the port city exudes a vibrant, engaging atmosphere that feels bustling without being overwhelming, offering the party a sense of both opportunity and intrigue.
And what do you do?

Re: DaleOfShadows: Maztica, 14 Eleasis OOC
Cerina stayed in the back while Tabby gave her hugs. The ritual used to open the gate was fascinating. Once the gate was open, Cerina watched William prepare for combat. She shook her head, and would rely on her breath attack if something jumped them on the other side. "It was nice meeting you all. You have a very enjoyable jungle."

North scrunches his face.
"I've got to admit, I'm kind of tired of being poor." He sighs.
"The diamond could probably fetch us even more than the appraisal price... As long as I sprinkle a little magic over it." He curls a devilish little smile.
"We will need supplies for the voyage and we have little money. Our reputation might get us somewhere but I don't know how far."
He starts to sound sarcastic "I guess - you know - if we have to get a little shady in town I can - you know - make things happen." "Maybe even SW can persuade some merchants for some deep deep discounts." He nods his head and folds his arms. Then he takes whatever feather is left and uses it as a toothpick. He digs deep into the back of his mouth. It honestly looks like he's so deep that he's past the teeth. Then he pulls it out and a walnut sized ball of dark and chunky debris comes out. He stares at it for an extended moment and then looks at the rest of the group to see if they're watching. Then he just whips it off the feather on the ground. He then slides the feather into his robe and moves on with his life.

"Speaking of chicken, we should pack some for the voyage." he nods his head and licks his lips.
Tabby was pleased that some in her group liked her song! If they didn't, oh boy, are they going to suffer!
"Eh.", Tabby shrugged, "I had snake before in a soup. Wasn't that tasty. And It did not taste like chicken. Only chicken tastes like chicken!", she added.
"I heard merfolk can be kind of nasty.", she turned her attention to her bard-buddy, "They're scaly, but they don't have pretty scales like Miss Cerina, and they have really nasty teeth that they use to eat lusty humans they trap and gobble up."

Brother Ashley groans at the thought of another sea voyage. He¡¯s only just recovered his stomach from the last one. ¡° Merfolk and
Sahuagin and Kuo-Toa,¡± he moans. ¡°Not to mention the clawed fish creatures and giant water snakes and other sea monsters.¡± He takes a deep breath. ¡°And then there¡¯s the
Pirates and Dragons!¡±
He¡¯s not looking forward to another ship ride.
¡°Water spouts. . . Tidal waves. . . Whirlpools . . .¡± he goes on and on muttering to himself.

Cerina grins, "You're correct William. I have heard that well-basted gnome tastes like chicken..."

"And we love seafood don't we!" he looks?at Tabby. "We need to get?some fishing poles... AND the spyglass..." He nods his head and looks at his other companions.
North will begin to try and craft some type of magic that he can turn living creatures into food object... He will cast his intelligence incarnate wand on himself to aid in this theory crafting.

Listening in, North thinks too of all the different types of sea creatures that would like to eat him.
He shakes his head... 'Probably more than would be in a maze.' he thinks to himself.
"That's what the spyglass is for! So we can see the monsters coming - I'll see 'em, and we can just steer around them."
