Managing an inn can be fun at first, but it quickly becomes just another job; adding up the day's take and comparing it to the workers' wages, the cost of food and drink wholesale, city taxes, etc... Having to settle squabbles between the cook and the brewer, putting up with the weekly and daily complaints of the barmaids, the barman's surly manner... And when a barfight breaks out, or someone starts dancing on tables, instead of joining in, all one can think is, "Hey! Those plates cost two silver apiece, dammit!" A vacation is needed. A sea voyage seems like just the thing, really. A wayfaring merchant out of Dyvers promotes a trip; exotic locations, a tour of fascinating ports, a chance for Glorb to sample wines and foods of many other cultures; that's right, it's a business expense! Perhaps they'll even see... pirates! No pirates. Only a thick and heavy fog out of Irongate and a hard easterly wind that blows them miles off course. The ship springs a leak. Rather than risk the ship going down with all hands, the captain makes for a small island and drops off his paying passengers, including Glorb, at the small sleepy village there. There's not much to do, but it's warm and there is a tavern and great fishing. The ship remains in the bay as the crew try to restore it to seaworthy conditions. Until the morning when the passengers look out to the bay and find the ship no longer there. Sunk in the night, suddenly, with all hands? Perhaps the damaged hull could not hold any longer; perhaps someone fell asleep at the pumps? Or perhaps the ship... sailed off without them? Hard to say. The locals are sympathetic. There are hidden reefs out there, they say, and the ship might have run into one. Or perhaps a current carried them off. Passage off the island? Of course! But you must wait until the mistral wind comes up. Without it, passage east is too hard for our little boats. Soon the wind will turn and we will take you back to the big land; a week, two weeks at most. Until then, you are our guests! Rest, relax, enjoy the hospitality of our little island. The other passengers seem somewhat molified, and even rather warm to the island. All are offered lodgings in the homes of the locals, as being more friendly and comfortable than the inn. A middle-aged man strikes up an aquaintance with a lady and soon has gone off to live with her on the other side of the island. A married couple and their son have gone off on a fishing tour with a charming local gentleman. A surly dwarven metalsmith from Irongate is taken in by a motherly old widow who bakes him delicious pies. Glorb's hosts are a man and woman with a large family of children; the children seem fascinated by Glorb. Wild and feral as young leopards, they run fearlessly along the cliffside where their small cottage is built, and dive from great heights into the water, and try to get Glorb to join in their games and treat him as another child; sometimes a bit cruel, but with laughter rather than hate of his race. Glorb may suspect there is a touch of sea in these people; merfolk, perhaps, or sea-elves; for the children swim as easily as frogs and have a touch of webbing between their fingers. A query to their parents brings only a secret smile and a touch of a finger to lips; it is not something they talk about. They warn him away from the ruins atop the highest point of the island, however; there are ghosts there, and danger, and a ruined tower! At times, from his bedroom window at night, Glorb can look up at it and see a dim light shining here and there in the rocks, and perhaps he means to go up there sometime soon with his adventuring gear! And so he does. In daylight he finds the dusty path that must lead up to the hilltop; now little more than a goat-trail with the brushpalms. He follows it a ways, though the late afternoon sun is hot and the path is steep, and he stops as he nears the summit to take a drink from a waterskin. As he stops to rest, a sound catches his keen ears. It sounds like a scream. Up the path, the way hed been going, something is now coming towards him. A young man, sword in hand and buckler on the other arm, is running pell-mell down the steep slope, giving an occasional yelp but mainly using all his efforts on running as quickly as possible. And well he might, for in slow ponderous pursuit of the human is some kind of large leafy creature, a tumbleweed tangle of vines and leaves that rolls after him, picking up increasing speed on the slope. It appears to be smouldering slightly. Chasing after the plant is a smaller figure, brandishing a spear; a gnome or a halfling, though its hard to be sure at this distance. The leading human is about 150 ft away from Glorbs position. The terrain is rocky and uneven, the only other plants are bushes and scrub about five feet high at most.
