The Voyage Southward

Captain's Log, The Cresting Wave by Amella Venkalie 61 days out from Sasserine

After leaving the village of Renkrue, the fleet sails south to continue its journey to the Isle of Dread and the colony of Farshore.

4 days out from Renkrue, the fleet encounters the Pearl current. It is a strong current whose width and position vary as it traverses the ocean. With some effort, the Blue Nixie and the Vicious Spanking navigate through the current after three or four days. The Cresting Wave (formerly known as the Sea Wyvern) struggles with the current for nineteen days, putting ourselves far behind the the rest of the fleet.

23 days out from Renkrue, we finally reach the wild island of Ruja. Even the obnoxiously curious Urol doesn't have too much interest to explore there. They still decide to stop and explore anyway. With Urol ashore, and Avner gone the ship will be remarkably quiet. I wonder if Z is going to stay behind.

The shore party returns after a day. The silly half-orc has got himself a new shiny stick to pound things with. Maybe he'll leave the ballista alone for a while. Z stayed behind and we worked on updating the charts, I think I'll invite him to dinner.

4 days out from Ruja, the first real storm hits us. It is very bad. We had just gotten our navigation straightened out after the Pearl Current. Now the storm has tossed us about. It may take us a day or two to regain our bearings.

8 days out from Ruja, we run aground in the largest Sargasso I have ever heard of. It is called 'The Journey's End' and I fear the worst. We are half-a-mile into the sargasso, there appears to be no way to break free from its grip. The shore party has left to go explore a nearby wreck.

9 days out from Ruja, grim news from the shore party. There are fell creatures that inhabit this place. A log from the other ship revealed a driving intelligence behind the minions of the sargasso. The shore party is leaving to explore more wrecks and try to find a way out.
