To No Man
Fuelwen: We left Great Fortress with a green crew. The first day at sea, I began the task of drilling the party. It is vital that we learn better to operate as a unit. I sense that our challenges will only get larger and more complex as time passes.
We delivered the down to No Man, and had some time to explore the island, while we resupplied for the much longer voyage to Tepu. I presented my findings to the local temple of Celestian, and once again, they were very interested, but could do nothing to help me. They will perform research, and attempt to get word to their priests in the Fan empire.
Wild Seas
Fuelwen: This voyage required us to make a crossing through the wild seas. While I could have easily weathered the storm alone, as part of a group, we had added challenges, like protecting the boat. We did what we could, but a wild storm blew up, and did serious damage to the ship. Everything aged and weathered in moments.
This left us all but adrift at sea. And not long after, a Dragon Turtle appeared on the horizon. We had, so far, been unnoticed by it, and ordered the crew to be silent. One of them wanted to know why. I foolishly assumed that he had some kind of sense, and told him. This precipitated a panic among the crew, and drew the attention of the dragon. Furious, I approached the turtle and asked what it would take for it to not destroy our ship- it wanted a snack, and to know the location of the psionic orca we had battled on the trip to DrnTg. These were both easy to provide: the crewman that initiated the panic went overboard, and we pointed the dragon in the proper direction.
We sailed, crippled, for a few days, before a ship from the Fan Empire found us, and towed us the remaining distance to Tepu.
