I'm on a Boat!

The Welcome Wisp rocks slightly as it pulls out of the harbor of Oppara.  Cheers emanate from the crowd of pathfinders on, and below deck, as a party atmosphere permeates the sea air.  “You’re welcome to our food and our drink, our music and our stories.  For the next seven days you are our guests.”  Those comments, made by Sam, the tall, blonde pathfinder in charge of the vessel, come to mind as several wayfinder wearing pathfinders walk around the boat offering exotic food and drink from all over the realm.  A song flows from one end of the boat, as multiple voices seem to be telling tales of adventure in every corner of the vessel.  “We’re lucky” said Robyn, “Sam’s a good guy, we were confirmed together. When he learned what you did for me, he was more than happy to let you travel with us.  While boat travel is pretty safe here, few pirates would dare attack a ship full of society members.  If any of you are trained sailors, it might help with some typical sea travel issues.  If not, custom is to vomit over the side of the boat, makes less of a mess.”  Mages, bards, and warriors practice their craft over the next seven days…giving you opportunities…if you like…

  2. What opportunities for someone who uses a blade? You mean sparring on open decks? While we're at sea?
