Quark stands at the helm of his large sailing vessel, shouting out orders to the crew of the Twisted Fate in his heavy sailors brogue. He appears more concerned than he was when the ship set out from Saltmarsh just one day before, often searching the horizon with one hand shading his eyes against the bright noonday sun.
The other passengers seem to notice this fact as well, the adventurer types and commoners alike, but nobody dares to ask the stern ships captain about his concerns. The crew remain as tight lipped as a concubine in church, but it is easy to see that they are also concerned about their captains concerning concerns. The ship quickly plows through the moderate swells of the expansive Azure Sea all the same, making good time to this so called Big Shiny Island that everyone has been talking about.
Most of the passengers are human settlers and adventurers, but there are a few of elven heritage on board as well. There is one frail looking she elf wearing dark blue robes with silver stars who spends much of her time on deck after dark, silently staring up into the night sky and scribbling notes into a journal of some kind. Though stunning to look at, she often appears sullen and seems barely strong enough to prevent being blown off the deck.
Another good looking male elf watches her movements, as well as any other female on board. He has long dark hair and appears quite well put together. He can often be heard singing and swooning over the ladies, using his chiseled looks and suave demeanor to win them over.
A strong but quiet half-elf sits alone, watching the male elf, often with disgust, and the female elf’s actions with minor interest. She appears shy, but willingly helps out any of the poor common folk that need aid throughout the 2 day voyage. She has a pack with her that is so stuffed that it must weigh easily as much as she does. The sailors sometimes joke about the amount of gear she has with her, repeating something about kitchen sinks.
The deck is fairly full of people and crowded in places, but so far the journey has been uneventful, peaceful even. The passengers continue to mingle and chat, getting to know each other somewhat to pass the time.
Ok, go ahead and post away, let’s find out how this works.
I will jump in if/when necessary, but go ahead and RP to your hearts content in the meantime. Try to remember that these characters won’t know much about the island unless they ask around, so please don’t confuse player knowledge with character knowledge. Thanks and have fun!
