Chapter Three - A Modest Proposal

Daerith finds Wavedancer at one point, "How does the ship look Wavedancer? Holding up alright?" The Magus leans over the side a few times to get a look at the hull, always careful to hold the railing tightly. "Poor Berek, doesn't have his sea legs yet, been throwing up with Dolan for days now. So much for that famed dwarven fortitude." He's almost smiling about it.

After delivering the Brandy and offering apologies Chanur runs into Wavedancer and Daerith.

"Hey guys. Daerith , Wavedancer found some charts. I was wondering if you could give me a few lessons in navigation? How's are we doing, maintaining our course Wavedancer?"

Daerith smiles to the captain, "Some charts? I better get a look at them. I've been working off a good set, and with the shore within sight..." He points to the starbord side and the coastline far off. "Once we turn the corner and start heading south, that's when we get into diffuclt charted waters and the open sea."

The first weeks at sea in the relatively gentle Jeklea Bay area a time for adjustment. Daerith settles into his duties as ship's master, and is pleased to see the charts Wavedancer produces are of the open sea in the areas that you'll all be sailing in. They should prove invaluable in plotting your courses once you're forced to leave the coast.

Daerith also begins his lessons with Ariel, who proves an avid student. The magus can't always answer the questions posed by the almost-wizard, as his own training has sacrificed some magical knowledge for the time to learn swordplay. But with Daerith's help, Ariel is definitely making forward motion on her studies.

Fin tends to the passengers, including 'that windbag priest of Heironeous.' By the end, he soothes everyone well enough, though Father Ferres remains green around the gils and never entirely steady. The middle-aged priest remains upbeat while on deck, but still stays in his cot for a good part of the day, explaining that motion of the ship still makes it hard for him to properly rest. Prayer and meditation to Heironeous will ultimately prevail, he says.

Berek, not exactly a friend to the sea, stays down below with the two other dwarves on the ship, waiting for their stomachs to settle enough to have some o the ale brought aboard, and playing dwarvish games of cards and dice to pass the time.

Within the first few days, Chanur does his best to mend fences with Avner, offering the noble a very fine bottle of brandy. Knocking, and stepping into the man's cabin, he tells Avner that he has something by way of apology.

"Well, that's mighty generous of you, captain," the noble says, rising from his chair. "Do come in and have a seat."

Stepping into Avner's cabin Chanur sits.

"I realize that I was out of line with the way I acted earlier, I was hoping we could have a clean slate. I hope the Brandy brings some enjoyment to you on this trip."

Avner takes the bottle, looks down at it, and then looks up, the smile on his face more genuine than it had been before. "damned generous of you, captain," he echoes, holding out his hand. Clearly he recognizes the quality of the brandy "Would you join me in a glass to break the bottle in? Start things over on the right foot?"

Chanur gives Avner a firm and friendly hand shak and a warm smile.

" I would love too. Let's see if its as good as the rumors say."
