Imsa continues to watch out for Merfolk, or any other marine creature that might speak their language, in the hopes of making contact and requesting that they petition the local spirits, shamans, priests, whatever, in making sure the ship remains afloat in the coming storm.<br>

</div>Under Rikku's guidance, the boat deviates between runes of pure water<br>
element (roll 15 from Water Sight 16W = 20 base + AK +3, plus 4 from<br>
Jareena motivation, plus 4 from Isma's sailing - success, bump to<br>
critical), along the treacherous mosquito coastline near Prax, where<br>
swamp begins and ocean ends is uncertain at best.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, under Rikku's guidance and the assistance of others, the<br>
ship navigates this path (roll 3 from difficulty 20, success, overall<br>
minor success for players)<br>
<br>
The ship itself is not stressed at this stage, and the Abiding Book or<br>
Eurynome's dormal rituals have not been called. For a while, as it<br>
hurtles along at breakneck speed, all seems well.<br>
<br>
Then Rotterex takes a deep breath through his nostrils, and peers in a<br>
nor'easterly direction. "Look at that", the rubble runner says, pointing<br>
with his toothy grin. "That's quite a storm blowing in from The Wastes".<br>
<br>
OOC: OK, this is a big one; the Storm has a value of 10W2. See if you<br>
can accumulate the resources to prevent the ship from being battered as<br>
the winds of Orlanth meet with that of Storm Bull.<br>
