[HQ Ignorance] Scene 93: Journey Across the Rosgali Sea

[Christopher Graves]

When the party arrived at the docks, Imsa and a hulking man dressed in a
Llankhor Mhy librarian's cloak, and about 8 large chests are waiting beside
the ship.  Imsa explains that the man with her is actually her man servant.
She says his name is Go, he is mute and he is clearly immensely strong.  She
clearly intends to come aboard with the man and all her chests.  If asked
she explains that he has always been her servant and that he would surely
die if he could not accompany her.  She explains that she has experiments
and scholarly gear she cannot not bring herself to part with in the chests.
She also says that she has more than enough money to hire porters or other
beasts of burden to transport her things when they debark.

The sea air appears to agree with Imsa, after a bit at sea she seems to have
lost all signs of a drip in her nose, even the pocks on her face seem to
have faded some.  She also seems to rely less upon the strange iron
contraption on her leg.  She still moves in a shuddering, seesawing gait but
now she manuevers about the ship at a surprising fast pace.  Her movements
appear sometimes almost graceful and dance like.

OOC:  Does this ship have a captain, or are we sailing it ourselves?  What
are ships like in Glorantha?  I have to admit I have no idea, in 35 years of
thinking about Glorantha I have never put to sea!  Do we have a mast and a
sail?  If so, how many sails.

Imsa does have some basic sailing skills and a good understanding of the
coasts of the Rosgali.  She also has had some experiance with Merfolk and
speaks a little of their language.

During the loss of control of the ship she spends time looking about for
signs of the Merfolk.  She can assist with sailing the ship but her skill
would not exceed that of the crew.  She can navigate too.
