Under Rikku's guidance, the boat deviates between runes of pure water
element (roll 15 from Water Sight 16W = 20 base + AK +3, plus 4 from
Jareena motivation, plus 4 from Isma's sailing - success, bump to
critical), along the treacherous mosquito coastline near Prax, where
swamp begins and ocean ends is uncertain at best.

Nevertheless, under Rikku's guidance and the assistance of others, the
ship navigates this path (roll 3 from difficulty 20, success, overall
minor success for players)

The ship itself is not stressed at this stage, and the Abiding Book or
Eurynome's dormal rituals have not been called. For a while, as it
hurtles along at breakneck speed, all seems well.

Then Rotterex takes a deep breath through his nostrils, and peers in a
nor'easterly direction. "Look at that", the rubble runner says, pointing
with his toothy grin. "That's quite a storm blowing in from The Wastes".

OOC: OK, this is a big one; the Storm has a value of 10W2. See if you
can accumulate the resources to prevent the ship from being battered as
the winds of Orlanth meet with that of Storm Bull.
