18th of Eleint, 1376, Year of the Bent Blade

 We pass by some small islands, and hear some beautiful music. We see some beautiful winged ladies. All I want to do is go to them - which I find odd. I shake my head, and all of a sudden I don't want to go, and I can see all the people reacting to - their singing? Even Vandederp is trying to get there, though thankfully Vondal and Vorest aren't.

Vondal sees that the steersman is trying to steer the boat into the winged ladies, so he runs up and fights for control of the boat, to steer away from the ladies. I figure if the ladies' song is what is drawing people in, maybe if their is a thunderstorm, or at least the sounds of one, it might drown them out. Luckily, once the booms and rumbles really get going, more people realizing what they are doing. As we see that people are snapping out, we see the ladies flying for us. One of the crew yells that the harpies are coming - I suppose that is what they are. We manage to kill two of them before they turn around and run. We also manage to wake up everybody else.

We arrive in Calimport. The Captain announces that she is done, she is retiring, she is never, ever stepping on another boat. I think she said she'd start a pub or something. We find an inn, the Sandy Sea Sprite, and talk about how we want to continue on. We consult some maps and eventually decide that a boat would still make the most sense - though I'm not sure Vondal is at all convinced.

 The Captain has been peering through her eyeglass for sometime. We ask if she is concerned about anything, and she says that she sees a ship sailing no flags. She is going  to do evasive actions, but we are warned that we might be able to.

When we can all see it, the other ship raises a pirate flag. The Captain gulps and says "That's the Dread Pirate Bloodfist."

The boat comes close and we are boarded. While we are fighting the pirates, some shark people climb up over the side and attack everybody - the pirates and our sailors alike. It is quite difficult to get everybody that doesn't belong on our ship off, but we manage to succeed. Vorest does a massive amount of healing - Vondal, Vandederp, the Captain and two of the sailors were badly hurt. There were more that we just couldn't save.

At the end of the fight, the Captain asks us to burn the pirate ship down. We find some munitions (but no pirate loot!) and blow the whole ship up.

 The lookout shouts "Manticore!" We see four of them in the distance. It was a good fight, but unfortunately a few of the sailors got hurt. Vorest healed them up after we defeated the manticores, just like she would us.

In the evening, we reach Myratma.

 The Captain warns us to be aware, the waters nearby are known to be treacherous. Fortunately nothing attacks us, and we see a plesiosaurus. Vorest is very excited.



30th of Eleasias, 1376, Year of the Bent Blade

 The captain is looking anxious, she must see or feel something that we just can't. After a little, Vandederp's sword announces trouble, and two water elementals come aboard. We manage to beat them, it's weird to fight water.

 We leave Athkatla. Sometime around noon, we see a ship. It looks exactly like us - it even looks like we are waving from the over ship. And the crew looks the same too. The Captain looks really worried by this.

 We leave the harbour in the morning. During the day, Vandederp's sword announces trouble, and we see two giant constrictor snakes swimming for us. They manage to get on the boat and attack us, so we attack back. Vorest yells at us to stop, and talks to them and then feeds them. They slither off, and the Captain thanks us.

 Today we saw a pretty cool thing - there was a "dragon" playing with some gulls. The dragon was about the same size and everything! While we watch, the captain tells us that it's a pseudodragon, and seeing them is normally good luck!

 We board the ship! We are on our way to Sheirtalar! Our Captain is Captain Kalypso. We head out, standing on a ship is and odd feeling, and before your legs get used to it your stomach might do some flip flops, like Vondal demonstrated. I hope he finds his legs, being sick the whole trip would be terrible!
