| − | '''The DM''': Following delays and discussion, the players set out at 8 a.m. aboard Engelhart's boat (does it have a name I've missed)? As 4 hours pass, bringing you 4 miles out of Stavanger, the wind stiffens a bit more and a bit more, until after noon it opens into a light breeze, swinging around from the northwest now, so that it is hitting the boat abeam, forcing you to tack back and forth. The clouds have broken up and are light and fluffy, appearing to be thinning.

| − | :If you were heading south, you'd be making better time. At 2 p.m., six miles out of Stavanger and halfway towards Jorpeland, it has come the point where you need to head straight towards Jorpeland or turn to the east into '''Hog's Fjord''', for that hex you indicated before. With this wind, you'd be reaching towards it, meaning you'd get the best speed out of your boat, making 2 miles an hour; you judge the distance to be about six miles to the southeast and then 12 to the east. With this wind, you could do that in about 9 hours.

| − | '''The DM''': Does anyone have any comments on where to journey? I recognize it's Engelhart's boat and all, but you're still a party and you still have a say. Jorpeland, the final destination, somewhere else? | + | '''The DM:''' Lexent is assaulted by a flush of who knows how many bats that come flooding out of the darkness. There's no chance to see the room beyond; Lexent is attacked four times and the other bats burst into the rest of the room. Lexent, I hit you three times, '''<span style="color:red">taking 1</span>''', '''<span style="color:red">1</span>''' and '''<span style="color:red">2</span>''' damage. |
| − | : '''[[Vafrandir]]:''' I say toward's Hog's Fjord.
| |
| − | :: '''[[Pandred]]''': Can we get a little circle on what hex you mean when you say "indicated before"? I don't think I understand what choice we're being asked to make. Is it one of the six mile settlement hexes I suggested heading towards, or do you mean the 20 mile wilderness hex? Or a third thing that I missed?

| − | '''[[Vafrandir]]:''' I'm using a little trick to keep from typing my name and bolding at the beginning of each line. I went to my [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]] page and modified my signature to <code><nowiki>'''[[Vafrandir]]:'''</nowiki></code>. To use, I type '''THREE''' (not four) <code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code> at the beginning of the line, after any indents. Four tildes will give you the timestamp. This way I save a bit of time and I can point the link directly to my character page (and avoid the default cruft of user and talk page).
