The timbers creak and groan as they are subjected to the great strain. The sailors, caught by surprise, let their dismay be known by various comments, many of them rather salty. 
Jareena glances at Riku. Why in the name of all the gods did Miranyth give the breath of the god to a Meldek when a perfectly good Orlanthi was available? Well, there is a more immediate problem. She touches Dorassa's arm to get her attention. "You must aid me in this magic." She then turns to the sailors. Raising her voice, she says in the Trade Talk to the panicked sailors (for she has observed that many of them know it) "Hear me! The speed is great, but you have face storms before this, and they were not sent in your aid! Know that Great Orlant sends now his breath as a gift! You have the wisdom to use it wisely!"

Boost Confidence 17, raised to 19 by a +2 augment from Dorassa's Restore Morale 17.
