Tolan appeared standing next to the Captain, his hands behind his back. "Captain, I have been thinking. It was the Order that hired us for this mission. I think someone with your reputation shouldn't be bothered to have to explain why one of those hired was not delivered to our destination." He shrugged and looked at her and smiled. "Not to mention it may hurt your flawless record." pausing for a moment to let her process his statements. "All that can be avoided by letting him sail with us."

The halfling slowly walked toward the dragonborn. "I for one would feel much safer with someone of his strength defending the ship." He looked at Storm and winked. "My time aboard The Ruthless taught me that the more bodies defending the ship the better. I think he will be better at that then someone like myself."

Storm Storm agrees "Tolan. is correct I am here to help with said mission."

He continued. " But I cannot do that if you do not take me there to do so." he explained.

" As I said. Following orders is not a problem. But if my being afraid of ships and sea is a problem. I can stay in quarters UNLESS NEEDED. And out of the way."

If anything Captain Schon seems more annoyed by Storm’s initial reaction, but just as she opens her mouth to respond, the raffish half-man interjects. Schon maintains an air of nonchalance as Tolan talks, but the long pause she takes after he and Storm speak suggest that the rogue may have struck a nerve.

“I don’t need you to stay below,” Schon tells Storm as she sheathes her rapier, “just to keep your hands to yourself. But if that’s what it takes, I’ve no complaint.” Then the captain turns without another word, takes the forecastle again, and begins to direct the launch of the Journey.

Storm Storm nods to Tolan "Thank you Tolan. I need to find my quarters. Can you help with that?" And began looking for the quarters again.

Gil watched all the back-and-forth with an increasingly bemused and skeptical expression, holding his tongue as nothing he'd said so far had seemed to do any good. Some sort of conclusion was reached though he was damned if he knew what it was.

At least the face-off broke up. Didn't bode for a leisurely cruise as far as he could tell. "Huh." Gil turned to Morgan. "So, were ya wantin' ta stow yer stuff?"

Morgan
right-aligned image

Morgan saw her words have an immediate effect on the bronze-scaled dragonborn, and although she knew that there was a thin line between taking on the burdens for the sake of another and fostering their weakness through overprotectiveness, the water genasi presumed to know the difference and the pitiful behavior of the being on the floor necessitated her to create room for strength where the dragonborn's faculties seemed clearly overwhelmed by a fear of the ocean. A fear that was unnecessary for one that acted with strength or wisdom, but Morgan could imagine that the ability to breathe underwater made her different in a way that would make it impossible for her to understand the dragonborn's fear, which was another reason why she had meant to help him. As the other cleric still laid on his belly, soothed but lacking the courage to move, the new halfling packmate offered a magical artifact that would gift the wretch the same ability to breathe underwater as a water elemental like her possessed. The female genasi had no means to see through the small rogue's lie or even any reason to assume that he was lying at all, but before Morgan's new packmates were able to exchange this most thoughtful gift, Gil started to forcefully speak to the dragonborn in a foreign tongue. And all that the primordial woman understood was that the half-elven man was displeased with the other on the floor. She just had noticed how Gil's eyes had gone through a momentary discoloration, but the oddity was quickly overshadowed when the bronze dragonborn suddenly erupted into violent anger. What...?? There had been nothing Morgan could see which had provoked the dragonborn's violent reaction as he threatened to eat Gil alive, and the life cleric was deeply dismayed at the sudden conflict, one that she didn't understand and that threatened to immediately destroy the group what she had thought would be her pack.

Trust wasn't something that came easily to Morgan. She trusted in higher powers, and to some degree she trusted in herself to show strength out of the necessity to survive or to take care of those she counted as her own. She had reached the West Marches broken up by the tragic loss of her tribe in a natural catastrophe, and at first she hadn't trusted that she could ever find any group of people that she could call her own again. As a waif among the landwalkers of Westhaven's culture, one that differed so greatly from the maritime hunter-gatherers that her primordial brethren had been, Morgan had lacked trust that other adventurers would accept her. Yet during her time in the West Marches this fear had proven a shadow of her own weakness. A weakened heart that Morgan found resolution inside herself to preserve, and after those successful missions that had taught her much she had gained trust that Westhaven's adventurers would act as her pack. Not for long and only during the time they stuck together for missions, but how easily unity was found with strangers of such different ilks had astounded her. But as she now saw this violent interaction that arose between two men that had been supposed to become her pack, just as violently Morgan saw a belief that she had sought to trust in come undone. What is happening? He will eat him alive?! Gil had shown her such kindness before and her own kindness had calmed the dragonborn, yet the cleric from the sea knew not how to choose who she should support in case of a battle to the death. Mere moments after her initial shock Morgan realized from the nonchalant trade of arguments that death was unlikely to happen, so at least her instinct to break up the fight on her own strength seemed to become unnecessary. At least to preserve either's life...

Morgan was wearing her typical blank expression as she experienced the ensuing interaction from up close, but underneath her blue skin, her emotions were roiling like a deep undercurrent. She learned that the dragonborn was called Storm, that he regarded the halfling called Tolan as a liar and cheat, that Gil had threatened Storm in their secret tongue and that some deity called Zeus had created Storm to forever be fearful of the ocean. When Captain Schon interjected herself into the conflict and rallied everybody to bow before her own law and word, Morgan made no expressions or gestures to voice any dissent or to support either of the male adventurers. The catastrophe between Storm and Gil seemed avoided and Storm was allowed to stay by some kind of technicality of their quest that Tolan raised and barely made sense to Morgan, but Schon seemed to agree and so there was a decision made that Storm's strength would stay on this ship and stay useful to this mission. The men around Morgan seemed to have easily found a shared understanding that it was all sane that this would be so, but the primordial woman lacked understanding. Were their words spoken in blind anger that they take them back so easily...? How will this pack survive if infighting, grudges and weakness threaten to undo us before we have even left the safety of Westhaven...?

All the adventuring parties that Morgan had joined had been able to strongly work together, even when there had been packmates that had showed weakness or those which the hunter-gather had been unable to comprehend. But was this a pack? Or were these just strangers that sought to mistreat each other? Storm was appeased to be allowed under deck and he just seemed thankful to Tolan who had negotiated to keep him on this voyage, and no further word was lost about the magical Ring of Water Breathing. The dragonborn casually strolled off to find his quarters and then Gil just as casually turned to ask Morgan if she wanted to stow her things. And the troubled life cleric was only dismayed. Her deep green eyes with barely visible pupils regarded the half-elf with an eery stillness as she didn't even twitch a muscle. It was an awkward moment of silence during which she didn't reply to him, but finally the homeless wanderer spoke softly. "Panicked animals... If you attack them, they will try to bite you..." Morgan wasn't able to show her judgment in her facial features, but there was a cool sternness in her stance that meant to transmit her misgiving. The sensitive woman felt like Gil had meant to corner Storm in order to build trust when he had lost it in Storm after being faced with the bronze cleric's mindless fear, yet to her, all it had done was destroy trust that Morgan wasn't sure could be restored. The water genasi couldn't tell if there was any merit in bringing a violent being that feared the ocean onto a sea voyage, yet obviously it was neither Morgan's nor Gil's choice who was brought on this quest. "We are... pack... Did you just... strengthen or weaken the pack...?" Morgan felt a deep sadness and she also felt herself helpless. "I... can protect us from threats of the outside... But... I can't protect you from yourself..." The still and quiet woman regarded the turbulent man before her calmly, her green hair waving through the air by the natural magic within her, and she didn't turn or blink as she meant to hold Gil's forest-green eyes within her own saturated depths.

"Honest, Morgan, if I knew I'd tell ya." Gil scratched his head. He'd never heard of any dragon-touched folk running from anything; it was a point of pride, almost what being dragon meant. He couldn't get a grip on why anyone would sign a contract already knowing that it wasn't their kind of job. "I mean, he was headin' off an' now he ain't. I guess that's somethin', four's more'n three. Don't know as I did any good though, didn't seem too pleased with me. Never know what's goin' on in someone's head, really."

Tolan smiled at Storm. "Sure I can help you. I know my way around a ship." In fact he was lying. He had spent time on ships, but he preferred to stay on deck. Being below deck Tolan felt confined.

The halfling grabbed his things and walked to what he thought was the door to the crew quarters. In fact it was the captain's quarters which was locked tight. "I guess we can't get in this way. Lets try over here." The rogue opened the nearest door and seeing that it went down, he nodded to the dragonborn and started toward the dimly lit interior.

By the time Tolan and Strom have descended, the Journey is already underway in every sense. Four crewmembers clear her lines and shove her off, and Captain Schon pilots the two-masted 40-footer into the harbor, drawing wind from only her foresail. It takes close to an hour to navigate to open water, but the time passes quickly, with a variety of deck activity to watch and passing ships to admire.

When the Journey has cleared the harbor, Tolan has long since returned to the deck, and Captain Schon calls him, Gil, and Morgan together. “What do you know about our itinerary?” she asks, and receives sufficient answer from the passengers’ body language. “Right,” she begins. “We head for Grumbulund. You know it? It is one of the small island kingdoms, a week’s sail, give or take. That’s where you’ll find your wreck. It’s on the other side of the island, near the village of…” Schon looks aside and frowns for a moment. “Fishbark,” she remembers. “That’s it. If things go smoothly, we’ll drop you at the village, and you can walk from there.

“But as you probably know,”
Schon continues, “pirates have infested these waters. Then there’s always the weather…” Schon glances at Morgan “…and the gods. May be that we’ll need to stop in Grumblbarg, the capital, on the way.

“Good winds, no trouble, we should have you there in a week. Any questions?”
Schon’s demeanor suggests a sincere openness to any.

Storm Storm feels the whole boat shift as they descend. His arms stretch out claws sink in to the nearest wood and his shoulders lock!! "Only fools get on boats to drown at sea.." he says quietly." I'm a fool I'm gonna drown! " He says. As his body involuntarily trys to turn and run. But his shoulders are locked firm and claws sunk deep. The wood cracks And creeks . But it holds for the time needed For the dragonborn's strength to give way to fear And sadness.

" We're gonna sink drown and die." He stays there for a moment but the halfling let's him know he's in a hurry. And began looking for the quarters again. He is calm on the outside except for the cold sweat ( wait dragonborn dont sweat...) But on the inside it's panic and doom. when they find their place. Storm sits huddled in a corner consigned to his grisly fate to come...

Captain Schon expanded Gil's knowledge of Grumbulund several times over just by going over the Journey's travel plans. He hadn't known where the place was, nor how far aside from a few days away.

"Don't really know more'n the Gauntlet fella said, pretty much just there's a wreck they want checked out. Knowing' why might help, I guess, just so we know what to look for. Like, was there somethin' on it they want? Or maybe they care who sank it?" Pirates about, then it figured that there must be something worth stealing about. Someplace for the pirates to pull ashore, too. "Anythin' about the pirates couldn't hurt either."

“The pirates,” Schon begins her response. “Well, I’m sure you already know something about that. It’s practically Looks directly at the camera.an epidemic, completely disrupting the supply chain. You’ve seen the shortages and the shop closings in town. But food and military supplies have been hit, too. Most of the military is deployed in warships, now, hoping to capture, kill, or at least scare a few off.

“I don’t know too much about the wreck,”
says Schon. “Just some stories. But I guess one of those Grumbulund jarls complained to their King – that’s Olgrave Redaxe – that a strange vessel crashed a mile or two away from the jarl’s hold in Fishbark."

Morgan notices a nearby crewman react when Schon refers to "stories."

Tolan returns from below deck. "Well this has been an interesting endeavor before we left the dock. I can't wait to see what happens." The halfling walked up to the group and listened to the captain talk about the pirates. "So we can hope that the military will be out in force and the pirates will leave us alone..."

"The last time I was sent to check out a ship wreck it was guarded by some fish people, and a group of pirates had taken the crew hostage. I guess we will have to see what we find when we get there."

Morgan
right-aligned image

The incident before had shaken Morgan even if it wasn't visible. But when she looked into Gil's eyes, determined to learn his measure, she couldn't find any malice. So he antagonized Storm for the pack? He was wrong, but I can tell that he does not know better... There was a conflict in Morgan because Gil reminded her a lot of other men like him that she had seen in the past. Genasi who were hunters and warriors whom she had known all her life and that would have been very likely to act with the same brashness, and just like Gil they would have assumed to be doing the right thing. At least her words had made Gil wonder. It is wrong to foster weakness, but the dragonborn's weakness was of the mind and the heart... If the mind isn't working, attacking the heart is as likely to create an enemy as it is to replace fear with anger. Gil is right... that there is no way to look into another's head... Yet he misread Storm so grievously... Morgan didn't feel confident to teach the half-elf any lessons today. He looked earnest, and not like one who had intended for the conflict to turn out as it had. But he was also a grown man, and Morgan's was faltering as she didn't trust herself that imparting any sort of wisdom could bear fruit. And who are you that he would trust you over his own instincts...? The primordial woman finally didn't dare to dive into the topic any further. In her mind Gil had failed the pack in his hot-headed approach, but she didn't have confidence that she had any influence to mend the rift it had created herself. So instead she just stared at him a few moments longer as her own hair weaved into her face, and then she was the first to look away. "I... will stow my belongings now... Please... wait for me here..." As the water genasi descended below deck, her heart was heavy and her thoughts were many.

Like she had said to Gil, Morgan returned to the deck just after equipping her metal warhammer and after putting most of her unwieldy belongings away. Maybe with her personality it didn't stand out that she was exceptionally quiet after coming up again, but with how Gil had welcomed her to this quest she also didn't have the heart to put distance between each other right now. The waif still wished for a connection with him and considering how ostracised she already was on Captain Schon's ship, even if Morgan still didn't know how this band of adventurers would be pack she didn't want to stay alone right then. She had been alone for so long just in Westhaven, and while contemplating these new packmates and how she could be with them would probably have been easier if she had secluded herself again, somehow she just couldn't make that choice. So the daughter of the waves stood with Gil as she watched The Journey navigate out of the harbour and to open water. It was the beginning of a voyage in a man-made vessel unlike any Morgan had ever joined, and although she somehow felt lonelier next to Gil than when she had stayed away from people in Westhaven's harbour, she also was filled with a grim determination to stand her ground in this quest. Giving up would have been a severe failure right in the face of Umberlee, and somehow Morgan had learned enough to realize that it also would have wounded her heart even further. I can... I will stay strong for the entire Journey...

When Schon eventually called the adventurers together aside from Storm, the captain explained to them about Grumbulund, Grumblbarg, Fishbark, the shipwreck and the many pirates that seemed to scour the region. Morgan listened to all of it attentively in all her eery calmness and she managed to put her feelings of confusion about Gil aside when he inquired more useful knowledge about the pirates and why exploring a shipwreck was of interest to the Order that had hired them. The female hunter-gatherer had actually explored many shipwrecks in the past when she had been young, and although her tribe had rebuked her for it, her curiosity for things of low import for survival had taken her back to scavenge again and again. Now that she was the former speaker of an extinct people, a life cleric and adventurer of the West Marches, Morgan felt both nostalgic, yet even more curious that the people of Grumbulund needed adventurers to resolve their own interest in the crashed ship. Something about how Schon mentioned there were stories about the ship appeared peculiar to the primordial woman, and when she noticed a man react visibly she committed his face to memory in case she would want to ask him about it later. For now though, asking Schon seemed like the encouraged option. Morgan found it difficult to talk to Schon like nothing had happened, but she didn't know better than to hope that Schon wouldn't turn on her again. "What... stories...? What... strangeness...?" The follower of the Wavemother was immediately worried that an unrepentant blasphemer like Schon would not be willing to speak on matters that didn't fit her distorted worldview. Yet Morgan also felt obligated to at least make the attempt of learning from the other woman. Her deep-green gaze was hefted on the captain's features, trying to discern what Schon believed, and which possibilities Schon intentionally ignored just because she didn't want them to be true.

Gil looked out over the water as the Journey left dock, Westhaven shrinking to the west, the mouth of the harbor growing wider and then falling behind as the ship reached open water. Morgan, who seemed to have a knack for uncomfortable silences, was sometimes there and sometimes not.

Captain Schon laid out the situation, Gil thought it over. Pirates were always around, no different than bandits on land, just sort of a hazard of travel like wildlife, and just as likely to kill you if they got the jump on you. Enough pirates to short an entire town of basics, to send the whole guard to sea...Gil wasn't good with numbers, but it sounded like a hell of a lot of pirates.

Tolan had stories, Morgan had questions, Gil had memories of another ill-starred departure driven by needs and circumstances not too many years ago. Shaman had said Tribe is simple, but because tribe is simple, tribe is complicated. "Tolan, where's Storm bunkin' at?" He went below decks.

Gil tapped on the door of a cabin, hoping it was the right one. "Ey, Storm? Gil. I got an awful tendency ta shoot off at the mouth first an' ask questions never. Sorry 'bout what I said, I ought not of said it like that. My fault."

"One thing I can't say, I can't promise nothin' 'bout the waves, nor the boat, nor the weather. That ain't in my hands or anyone's. Not goin' to give you a promise I can't back up. Can't ask that o' anyone."

"One thing I can say. Somethin' goes wrong, I got your back as much as I can. That's how it is, yeah? We're all in it?"
