Summary
They arrive in Stormroque, it raining, thieving teens are after their stuff. They don't stop too long, there's a storm coming and the second Captain they ask is willing to take them across the sea now. So much for the stay in The Leaking Roof.

Quote of the Week
“...that’s a fine price if a disguised man wants to sleep on the deck.” - Breanne

“I am fine with four on the deck, how much for someone not on the deck?” - Prince

Events
Greta says that looks damp

Adelais says to Biscuit, you need to put on your serious face - we need people to take us seriously

Stormroque, not too many prominent buildings, slopes towards the sea, intended as cobbled streets but it has not been maintained and there is vandalism. Wood framed buildings, suffering from the sea breeze, tiled roof - slate

prominent buildings stand out significantly, the church is one of them, white building - lime washed - at the front, stain-glass window, beautifully made impressionistic portrait of Ebere (as a unicorn), Ebere looks alien, much longer legs, neck and face - clearly a horse but not as we know it (pretty but unusual)

Pointy, gothic roof - foreboding

Wall around it, and yard, training yard and playground - training dummy, etc.

At the crest of one of the slopes in a Manor, looking new - looking over the town - doesn’t look like it fits

 

On the road up Jean tries to bury deeper into his latticed hood

Prince - now that we are in town what is our itinerary, driver?

Jean - where do you may perch? oui non, we make boat

Prince - and when would that be? I was wondering if we had time to look around town

 

It is rainy pretty hard

 Jean wants to go on to the boat, but Prince may have a look - It always takes time to catch a boat

 Bridge leading into town

Adelais asks Tektite to acid on the plaque (that is in memorial of Adelais but her name is not written correctly)

Tektite says “that is vandalism” “but he can try and take it off”

Mr Stevens says “that would be theft”

Tektite gets off the cart and claws at it

Adelais breaks the plaque off with her sword

Adelais said that isn’t my name and I’m not dead

Adelais says we should take our stuff to the Leaking Roof

Jean wants to get a boat today

Adelais says that it isn’t a good day for it

Prince says surely Jean has made preparation

Adelais, let’s go see about those boats then, if they aren’t going today we can set passage for tomorrow

Stevens, conditions permitted

 There’s a gang pooling up whenever you go passed alleyways, keeping parallel to the cart

They are talking too loud to be subtle

Stevens doffs his hat to them

“bloody load of weirdos, aren’t they” “yeah, but they have a wagon, probably got stuff in there”

Prince makes his eyes burn red

“that one just look at you, Trev?” “yeah” “yeah, think you could have him?” “yeah think I could”

They look to Stevens “even ‘im?” “yeah, but not need to prove it though”

“if they talk about all the crowns in the wagon, might have em”

They vanish as we get near the Church

 An unrelated group follow on the other side of the wagon

Followed on both sides as we get nearer to the port

Group of eight on the right, five on the left - late teens, some a bit older

Greta asks if we are going to the harbour

We come to a market that we have to go through

The gangs are hiding in the crowds around us

Prince asks if we get the full tour, to Adelais, since it is her hometown

Stevens says we should secure passage before we look around

Prince says Jean has this sorted right

Adelais says keep your arms and legs in the group at all times - bulky group coming through - no offence Mr Stevens

People wearing practical clothing for the rain all the time

Mr Stevens is apologising

More people move out of the way of the wagon than of Stevens

There are a number of boats at the harbour

Jean “There are no Frandellian ships here”

Prince “Was there meant to be one?”

Jean “I don’t know”

Prince says if we don’t have the right money for it we don’t get the ship, isn’t that right Jean?

Jean says you make ship to go straight, and you go to Frandelle

Adelais says don’t try to provoke anyone

Prince says this group - good luck with that

Jean - do you have the golden? how do you make ship? - to Prince

Prince gestures it’s fine

Jean says then we will look at this one - points at the fanciest looking one

Prince sees it isn’t the biggest ship, there are bigger ships in the port

Stevens can determine that most of them are fishing ships, one that Jean pointed to is a passenger ship

Prince and Adelais go towards the Ship’s Captain

it is a face that Adelais has seen

“hello, there Sir”

Prince is being snooty and looking over the boat

Adelais apologises about him and says ignore him

“I should hope not, I’m the one with the money” - Prince

“Do I know you miss?” - Captain

Adelais says maybe, I did grow up here

“you one of them, that lot *gestures with the unicorn horn*”

Adelais agrees

“I ain’t being trading nothin’ against the Church, or”

Adelais says “oh no no, not here for that at all” - we require passage to Frandelle, would you be heading that way

The Captain says the weather isn’t right

Adelais says we can pay, as Mr Prince has just confirmed

Captain says you’re hardly a boat load, but yeah I’m going there eventually

Adelais when would you be going?

When I get my fares worth

Prince - oh how much would that be?

Captain - well I’ve got 20 rooms on this ship, some of them are family - I dunno how many of the church you’ll be bringing

Adelais says just me

Prince says how much would it be to go tomorrow?

Expecting 30 or so heads on this boat, weather clears out, desperate to go - 50

Prince asks 50?

Well, it’s a ways to Frandelle, it aint silver, comes with food though like - says the Captain

Prince says well we don’t need food Stevens went with Prince

Greta is near the wagon with Jean

 Some thugs trying to hold back one of their mates, “did you hear what he was sayin bout this place?” - “I’ll knife that foreign prick”

“not worth it” - “you see that lizard face, he hangs out with the dog”

Tektite stares at one of them

“he’s seen ya, Dwayne”

 Adelais says well we’ll have a look around for other people

Prince - we’re on a mission, save the world and that

Captain says I just ferry people to-and-fro - if it’s that important maybe your Church will help ya

Adelais gives a reluctant maybe

Captain if you book what rooms you do want, I can start getting supplies ready so you have your place

Prince asks how much your best room is

Adelais says we don’t need a best room

Prince says speak for yourself

Stevens asks the Captain how long the travel will be

Captain, average 3 days, can be 5 if things go a bit ‘Stormroque’

Prince says Jean doesn’t want us to have a misery cabin

 Stevens cups his hand and creates an image in it, it’ll be a predictor of the weather in and around Stormroque, Stevens is holding a storm in his hand

“I do not think we will travel tomorrow”

Prince says we’re not going to wait a week, are we?

Adelais said let’s reconvene with the group and make a decision

Jean has been casually carting over, so he is nearly at the boat

Jean says do we now have ship?

Adelais says this ship won’t leave unless we fill all the spaces unless I can get the church to help out and the weather is going to get worst, so we probably shouldn’t set sail

Prince says with the incident with the travel Imp I don’t have enough to buy out the whole ship

Greta shows the gems he has, I’ve had this a couple of years

 Jean asks how a Church moves the boat

Prince asks what is the next pick of boat Tektite will spend some time appraising the gemstones that Greta has

Greta suggests we don’t get the gems out in the middle of Stormroque (with all the gangs about)

we can look at them inside

Tektite says that his father is a geologist

Greta asks if he is here

Tektite says no Rosevale, it’s that way *points* Adelais says the weather is going to be so bad we can’t go for a week or so

Tektite says we can stay in the Leaking Ceiling

Jean does not want to go North

Adelais says “we know” (oui non)

Jean waits - you have more to say?

Adelais says we can’t just get any boat, if it sinks on the way

 

Adelais says Mr Stevens confirmed that the storm is going to get worst

Stevens clarifies that in the next day, it won’t be clearing up tomorrow

Greta says we can stay on the outskirts of the town, we have tents and that, if Adelais doesn’t want to go back to the Church or stick around Stormroque at all

 Prince has found the second-most miserable, boat

Prince says we’re looking for passage for five to Frandelle

The Captain laughs

Prince asks if he is the Captain

 Captain “does anyone look as competent”

Prince says if he had a mirror

 how many coins are you thinking for your five?

What would be your price, Captain?

The Captain says no, you’re a savvy man, let’s see how much you think this old girl is worth

Prince says a gold a head would be fair

Captain - “fair? fair!? for the luxury of Lobo’s Teeth?”

“that’s a fine price if a disguised man wants to sleep on the deck”

“I am fine with four on the deck, how much for someone not on the deck?” - Prince

Captain - I’d like to hear how much is it for you?

Prince says, normally the price wouldn’t be a problem, ran into an imp you see, Hygardian gods, you understand

Captain says, not as honest as the sea

Prince says would gems suffice

Captain says pretty things call themselves gems, not all of them worth a pretty penny

Prince - I would expect no less, from the Sea Wolf Clan?

Captain - oh you have ties?

Prince - I’ve sailed with your ilk before

 The Captain is an orc

Captain - are these the pretty five you talk of?

Fine fellows then, trusted companions all

They are coming down the gangplank

Adelais said hello sir

Captain laughs again, I like you

Captain has made a pretty promise to buy you all space on the deck

Stevens says I require approximately seven square feet

Captain I charge extra for cargo

Captain says you have a wagon

Adelais asks how much

Captain, feel free to commune with your fellow

Greta asks if we’re doing this or what

 Breanne is the Captain’s name

Storm will gets worse before it gets better, if you want to leave today, I suppose we could

Greta says ah I don’t think we should go today or anything

Breanne said storm said to hit the town, if we hit the sea first it’s clear sailing

Prince says what I expect from someone from Delubrum

Stevens said we would rather arrive alive

Breanne says it is reason today, tomorrow it’s not a good idea

Greta says anyone know about boats, I haven’t left Hygard, it’s land locked

Adelais says since we might have to go today

Greta says Tektite look at the gemstones

He gets an estimate of how much they are worth - semi-precious gemstones

At an estimation they would be worth 30 gold, but we’d need to find a fence

Breanne heard

Prince heard

Prince says, well I did say gems

Captain says, I know a thing or two, so I’d be willing to look

Prince says there’s no harm in looking is there

 Greta says right, you’ll leave in a couple of hours - six of us and a bit of cargo

Jean is miserable

Greta says, eh, what about 10 golds worth, easy to carry, hard to lose

Captain, hard to sell

Greta says you’re a captain of resources

Greta shows all the gemstones to Breanne

Breanne investigates them

Greta says my friend has to check

On my as a ship’s captain, scoops four of the top and other of the side, “you can keep those”

Tektite looks at them, most expensive and second most expensive are the ones Greta can keep

Seems like 10 gold-ish

Tektite is happy with that

Breanne is too

Prince asks for a room upgrade

Breanne scoops the gems, and goes up to the deck

“last orders in the port, we are away!”

Adelais asks if Jean wants the horse to be taken some where safe

Jean says but I do not want to Stormroque again - This was a gold of pet

Jean goes to ask Breanne

“you! miseir capitan”

“ahh, madam la passage” - Breanne

“zis pet with me no gold”

“qui no, no golden, but, ah your language - no eat”

“no eat my pet”

“Your pet no eat”

“hmm you stay, I find food le pet” - Jean

Jean comes marching down the gangplank

Stevens goes to follow him

Jean says “someone make guard - I make food le pet”

Stevens says “I believe I understand you sir”

Prince is grinding his teeth, “this isn’t a good combination for us to get out of here alive”

Stevens is in full companion mode

 Greta asks Adelais what Tektite might be like on a boat

Adelais says like in an inn

Tektite is feeling a sneeze coming on

Greta says let’s see if we can find one for tektite with a window

They are starting to get the cargo off the cart

 Dwayne is nearby, we see him burst out of the crowd

Greta asks what is his problem

Adelais says ah that isn’t Dwayne is it

Adelais, Dwayne, what are you doing?

“it’s you lot like, being all Stormroque. ain’t that miserable”

“to be fair, I’m allowed to say that”

“you’re poushing it, they pushed the whole way - I should push them - push you” to Greta

Greta says “fuck you”

Greta carries on

“I’m home their not”

“yeah well we’re leaving” - Adelais

“bet you dont know what it’s like, with your boots”

“I don’t know what it’s like” Greta

Adelais says “ he wasn’t sayin out,”

“maybe he shoulda”

Adelais says “why you really here, what’s up, is it your mum?”

Dwayne says “shut up”, he goes back to the crowd

“you still fell down every step”

“that was like 15 years ago, shut up” - Adelais

 One of his mates says “watch what you say”

Adelais says they’re harmless really

Greta says they're just kids, I get it, I get it - same problems all over the world

 There are certain hostilities towards Jean Midmarket as he tries to haggle at the market

Jean has to try another stall as they won’t serve him

The next merchant he gets a good deal for the feed for his horse

Jean and Stevens aren’t gone too long, about 15 minutes

Stevens is trained in small talk, will be good company, and hold anything that Jean has bought

Jean will offer, “my mother had a pet like this once”

Stevens will enquire further as to was it the same kind of model, did it look like me

Jean “it’s grande was ‘not me’” as they arrived back to the group

Stevens believes he understands that

Jean got some rations that will last specifically for people, an excessive amount of horse feed and a carrot

 

Greta, Adelais and Tektite have finished putting the cargo on the hold

Stevens attempts to continue the communicate with Jean about his mother

she is a respective house-maker, he hopes she is still alive, he has been gone a long time

Jean will pause, and then say “you make beautiful lips”

Stevens put his hat to his chest, and gives a nod

 

The carrot is for the horse

 Biscuit is sitting by the dog, guarding the boat

 Prince is talking to Greta about Jean and Stevens just coming back

“would have preferred if they had a fight”

“their friends”

“speaking of friends, where’s Adelais”

Greta is getting the cabins ready with Tektite

Greta says I don’t think Tektite is feeling well on the boat already

 Tektite is going to sneeze, uses his furs and Adelais offers her cloak instead

She asks if he is looking forward to Frandelle

he says it’ll be warm there and nice to meet new people

Tektite says and “new rocks”

 They each have a cabin to themselves, and Prince has a double bed

 Breanne will march through the ship, “if no one says otherwise, we’re off”

No one says anything

“good” - they raise anker

Greta turns to Adelais, thing is right, I aint never been on a boat either - I’m worried it might not agree with me either

Adelais says if it makes you feel any better, I haven’t been on one either

Tektite says “it’s fine, it could be worst”

they are in a cabin together talking about their sea sickness

 Stevens can get into the cargo hold, he can spend some quality time with the horse

He spends some time oily his hat and bag, and equipment

Stevens is talking to Ocean creatures

 The boat does rock out of the port, Adelais is feeling okay

Greta is feeling off “this aint right”, and Tektite is throwing up

 Greta says the cabins are nice

Greta uses alchemy to make the bucket resistant to acid, for Tektite

 Jean is in his cabin, he occasionally hangs out, he is writing poetry

 Prince is praying to his benefactor - grasping his holy symbol (the shard of the heart gem)

 Breanne looks out into the distance, sees thunderclaps - gives a grin

“smells like adventure”  

After Credits
Tektite thrashing around in his sleep, uncomfortable

Rising bubbles

murky bubbles

a bully laugh in the background, alpha mockery

Tektite claws some of the bed in the sleep

shivering a bunch

the bubbles come up and bob to a super blurry beach, further along

hard to tell if there’s anyone there

same voice muted in the underwater, “ that’s right runt, run ”

bubbles all over, flailing claws

Tektite wakes up with acid drool all down him

and the side of the boat is missing
