With a toothy grin, Sakkarot nodded, "Thorn must have much faith in you. If you weren't his best, he wouldn't have sent you. If you succeed, your names will be legend. Now go. Fair night to you and Hail Asmodeus."

The trip back to the ship is more or less uneventful. There are several little parties happening all over the camp. Some a much rowdier than others, but no one pays you any mind.

Getting to the ship, you find two of the crew standing guard while others appear to be sleeping.

I'm guessing with all that cargo off the ship there's more room in the hold? Also, I was wondering if we still have all those pelts and stuff that we got from those tribesmen? The ship is gonna be cold and we need something warm to make our bedding out of.

Well, the 'cargo hold' still has the food and other supplies for the journey. But the weapons, that were stored on deck, are gone.

Ravan smiles at the two guarding the ship granting them each a smoldering kiss as a reward for their duty. "Good job boys. Keep an eye out for anything unusual."

Ooohhhhhh....see I wasn't sure where we were sleeping or even where the cargo was kept. I didn't know it was on deck. Soooo....I guess we're just finding a spot and setting it up for the night?

Giggling as she watches Ravan reward her subordinates, she waves to them as well before finding some warm things to make a suitable bed with. Once she has a decent pallet set up she lays down and snuggles under the covers while holding out her arms to Ruedo for him to join her. Smiling her crooked little grin she says, "Come on, we can help keep each other warm and I wanna cuddle before I go to sleep."

Ruedo dismisses Caliban and lays down beside Eri. He wraps his arms around Eri. "You did very well today."

She shivers slightly before cuddling up against him, "I did?" She asks, her voice thick and sluggish with sleepiness.

"Yes," Ruedo answers, kissing Eri's forehead.

She smiles as her eyes close, "Mmmm...kay." She mumbles as she starts drifting off to sleep. Her breathing becoming slow, deep, and steady.

The night passes uneventfully, or mostly so given the festivities of the Bugbear camp.

With the rising of the sun, you make ready to leave for the other side of the lake. The senior crew-member suggests that it would be best to leave at nightfall to prevent being detected by any possible patrols on the southern shore from spotting you. The fates seemed to be with you as the mists shrouding the lake shifted and swirled through the morning. Taking advantage of the eerie fog, you leave just past mid-day and head south. The sun has long set by the time the southern shore. Luck favors you still as the crew manage to get you within a couple hours walking distance of the Balentyne and no patrols present.

Any last words/orders before you have them depart? This was where you were supposed to kill them and the Captain. But since that's not happening.......

*shakes head* I don't know what to them. That would be up to either Ravan or Cyrus if they want to give them additional instructions.

Making sure she has all her stuff, she waves to the crew as she departs, "See you guys later, thanks for the ride."

Ravan? Cyrus? Ruedo? Anything for the crew?

Not really.

I think Ravan has the captains chair on this one.

Looking at Ravan she asks, "Was there anything you wanted to say to them before we leave Ravan? Did you want them to do anything with that horn thingy? I'm not sure we could really take it with us....unless someone wanted to use it I guess."

Pulling the senior crew aside Ravan considers her words carefully. "I know you're all loyal.....aside from devoted in the best way possible." she says with a grin. "So I'll be honest with you. Initially, we were supposed to kill the captain and every member of the crew and burn the ship. Obviously, that isn't happening." she says while sitting on his knee.

"We have important work to do, but I trust my crew to be ready when we return. Find a safe cove to hide the ship for a bit, preferably somewhere where you can do a little banditry in the meanwhile, cant let everyone's skills get rusty. Change the sails, and the figure head with what you can manage. In a month, no one will notice a new ship on the seas, and we should be back with quite a reward for everyone.....other than me I mean."

Lol

Wow, you weren't kidding about sleeping with the entire crew were you? So glad I disabled pregnancy for this game.

Ravan could feel the crewman's enthusiasm underneath her backside. "New ship? You want new ship?"

In case it's not clear, he's asking if you want a brand new ship.

Ravanalonna let's out a throaty chuckle as she wriggles around a bit, enjoying the appreciative seat. "I was saying we should change how the ship looks so people think it's new. But if you think you could pull off stealing a new one, by all means."

The Sorceress could feel the crewman getting a little more excited, but he managed to keep himself under control. "We get new ship. No worry. Any else?"

"What are we gonna do with that stuff that we got from those guys?" She asks as she tries to suppress a chuckle at how good her friend was at winning people over.

"Sell it most likely," Ruedo says.

She looks from Ruedo to Ravan, "So...they gonna sell it for us? I guess that's okay...I don't know about them taking a ship though...it could draw more attention than we like. Unless they can do it without anyone noticing....I don't know, I'm stupid about this kind of stuff. You guys just do whatever you want and we'll deal with whatever happens later....if there's anything to deal with."

"Let's leave it in Ravan's capable hands," Caliban chuckles.

She gets a strange kind of confused look on her face but shrugs, "Okay...she somehow always knows how to get stuff done anyways. I'm sure it'll be fine." She says with a nod of her head.

"The only other thing would be to sell any of the things we leave with you. Use what you need to equip the ship and we'll collect the rest later. Oh and of course, try not to get killed." Ravannalonna purrs.

Just so I'm clear, you want them to sell the seal pelts you have left over and the narwhal tusk?

Yes

Okay then, not what I was expecting, but then again, I wasn't expecting you to turn the crew to your side.

The crewman nods and gently slides Ravan off his lap as he stands. Walking to the ship, he stopped and turned around, "Meet where? When?"

She kind of shrugs as she looks at Ravan, "Where are we supposed to meet them? We don't know anything about this area. How are we supposed to know where to tell them to wait for us, and how can we be sure that we can get to them?" She asks, worried that being unfamiliar with the area might lead to more complications with the plan. Hopefully the sailors knew their way around and could give them a location to meet at.

"Perhaps we can return here in several days time," Ruedo suggests. "I don't know how long we'll be though."

"We'll meet back here in a week. If you do not see us, leave and come back one week later." Ravanalonna says after a moment's thought.

"Aye Mistress," The crewman said as he turned and headed back to the ship. Not long after, the ship pulled back into the darkness.

You turn and head along the coast until you come to a road with a sign reading Aldencross. A small town outside the Balentyne.

I forget, was that the way we were supposed to go? And we should probably put our disguises back on huh?

The Balentyne is your ultimate goal yes. And yes, you should probably use the circlets, at least to cover the brands.

I mean, we were supposed to go through that Aldencross place to get there? I just don't wanna get lost in the dark....I wonder if it's too late to buy cookies from somewhere on the way through. I ate up the rest of mine on that ship, trying to keep from getting sick and all. I don't like boats....but I'll deal with it if that's the easiest way to get around once we leave.

Before moving on much further she takes out her circlet of disguise and puts it on while thinking about the disguise she wanted to use. This time she changes into a young looking elven girl with large green eyes and curly red hair. Sticking out her tongue she looks at the others, "How do I look? Gross right?" She says in a voice that sounds slightly younger than her own.

Ravanalonna chuckles, her voice coming out in a smoky rasp as her own appearance shifts to that of a statuesque blonde in form fitting leathers. "You look just fine Eri."

She shakes her head, her now red curly hair swinging from side to side. "I can't believe anyone would find this....cute. But whatever, to each their own." She says as she plays with the ruffles at the bottom of her dress, "I think I'm less....I don't know....it doesn't matter. It's just a disguise to help me fit in for a bit. I just feel so....weird, but a little girl looking for cookies....well, that's just a lot less conspicuous than a hairy beast wondering around town." She says as she kind of looks off into the distance.

Ruedo assumes his guise as a dowdy human peasant with shaggy brown hair. "I think you both try too hard."

She just giggles.

Ravanalonna simply laughs as they walk.

Looking over at Cyrus she cocks an eyebrow as she looks at him curiously, "So, what are you gonna go to this party as Mr. Cyrus? Hey...should we come up with different names? I could be....Katie?" She asks as she takes in her appearance and tries to think of a name that would be fitting.

"As myself I suppose, or a version of it." Cyrus answers.

"I haven't heard of many elves called 'Katie'," Ruedo says.

She shrugs, "I'm not good with names. What would you suggest then?"

Then turning to Cyrus she says, "Don't you think we should come up with other names and maybe a cover story....you know...in case anyone asks? I don't think I should go around calling you Captain McGrumpy pants or anything...so...I can just say, 'Sir' if you like...or maybe...I don't know....Bob?" She wonders aloud.

Ruedo sighs. "Let's do our best to avoid having to use names."

"I know I know....but what if someone asks? We can't just ignore them or create a scene...it would draw too much attention. Even if just temporarily we gotta blend as much as possible so we can just move through here to get to where we need to go." She says as she explains her reasoning to him.

Ruedo sighs and points at Eri. "Caitríona."

He then points at Ravan. "Theodora."

Ruedo then points at Cyrus. "Seth."

He then points at himself. "Bert. Good enough? If anyone asks for more than that, we just say we are wandering adventurers."

She shrugs as they walk, "I guess so...but I don't think I can pronounce that, so maybe I'll just be a mute and you can tell them what my name is if they ask. Okay?"

"We can call you Katie," Ruedo says with a smirk.
