You can wait as long as you like. However there are rumors of other teams assembling to make a run on the lost city. Of course they are not quite sure where it is, but they could get ahead of you and maybe try something underhanded.
Dargorath looks for someone who has messenger pigeons available and checks if they can have one sent to Nkechi. He also asks if Malok has any spare magical energies to use animal messenger.
A pigeon messenger service goes between predesignated points (they are homing pigeons). The cave of a crotchety druid on a cliff face somehow escaped all the vendors as a lucrative place to stage pigeons.
"Let's just the journey ourselves."
Assume this is the morning after your whale of an ordeal.
Dargorath buys a hammer and 10 pitons on the way there, just in case some cliff climbing is required.
Once back at the pathfinder lodge, while Gellick rests, Ivar tries on his new breastplate. As their pathfinder friend explains that they will need a guide, Ivar listens to the conversation, after the new dwarf attempts to figure out how to send the druid a message. Ivar finally adds, ”Well it sounds like we’ll be doing some boating and climbing. Dargorath and Randy are right we should get some gear.” He then asks Gellick. ”Do you know a man with a boat, or will we need to rent one?” Once they are done talking to Gellick Ivar heads out into town to purchase a few sundries.
Lalali, still a bit buffled from how the rescue went, will buy additional silk rope and prepare spider climb as level 2 spell.
Malok spends the morning preparing some different spells and is then ready to get back to nature.
"Back to fresh air sounds great to me.."
With all the talk of messenger pidgeons Bart muses: "If only we had someone who was good with birds...."
"I can prepare the spell, but it seems a waste if we are going there already.."
'Good with birds. That's funny, seeing we have a 'bird' in our little group here.' Ivar smirks at Barton's comment, "Indeed."
Hearing Malok's inquiry, Ivar approaches, turning and whispering, "Didn't the gnome say the priest didn't like to be disturbed and warning him would be a good idea." Then shrugging his shoulders, "Besides it's getting late, we'll have to rent a boat. Then we need to sail the boat over to the cliffs and leave enough daylight to climb the cliffs and speak to the gentleman. Let alone climb back down and sail back across. Anyway, I need to buy supplies, going to look at arrows, you want to come along?"
"A boat in the morning sounds like a good plan."
After a good nights sleep in the lodge, Ivar heads out to the docks to rent a boat that can handle sailing and anchoring near the Pallid Bluffs.
Once he acquires the boat he heads back to the lodge and asks the team members, "Have we sent our animal messenger? If not we can do that on the way if we want to."
Once the group is ready he leads them back to the boat and attempts to sail it to the Pallid Bluffs.
"I will take care to the spell then.."
The next morning Malok prepares animal messenger and sends it to old priest with a rolled scroll requesting an auidence with him to discuss a business proposal.
You are able to rent a boat easily enough and row out to the cliffs. You luckily get there at high tide (because the module says so). However while high tide does get you clear of all the rocks, so you can land, it also means bigger waves crashing on the shore.
You are able to land the boat, and it has a small anchor with which to keep it there so you can take it back to Sargova.
Need perception checks.
Might as well do initiative as well.
Dargorath explains to Laili-re on how they rescued Gelik along the boat trip.
OK, some (3) large crabs are trying to sneak up on you, but failing miserably.
And they are slow.
Dargorath fires two arrows at the crabs."I heard crabs make good eating!"
"You heard right, hit 'em in the face, if you mess up the legs we can't boil 'em." Jumping out of the boat sword in hand, Ivar begins to rage and slashes at the nearest crab.
Dargorath hits a crab once but leaves it standing, then Ivar chops through the shell of another finishing it.
Malok casts guidance on his pet then sends forth the raptor to attack..
injured or uninjured target?
I thought Ivar attacked the same one sorry.. Injured one then.
Bart activates luck and attacks the undamaged crab.

'See if we can do this without messing up the legs, their delicious.' Ivar moves to the nearest crab, "You should have gone back into the water." and swings his greatsword at the crustaceans face.
Dargorath continues to shoot at the one that Ivar hit."What you need is a pot, some beer, some condiments and some salt. Pop the crabs in to steam!"
Bart hacks away at his target.
(power attack, luck)
Dino attacks the one grappling him..
Malok moves up to the same crab and gives a bashing..
Lalali gives the crab grappling her favorite bird a hypnotizing look.
The two remaining crabs die.
Dargorath collects the crabs. "Lunch?" He asks Ivar. "Do you have a pot big enough for these?
"Otherwise use your axe to chop them into manageable pieces so they fit the pot." Dargorath suggests.
"I don't know that we really have time for a crab boil." Bart replies to Dargorath.
"Fine, we'll throw them into a sack and get to it later."Dargorath shrugs.
