On Sea Day, the 30th of Eldus, the 200 people of Runic's expedition set sail for Tataramoa.

Aboard the Nemesis: Runic, her sister and Rubia, Mutt (transferred from the Deja), half of Runic's Aerenidae,

Aboard the Kadje Morsi: Samaa, Seito, Jong and his oldest two daughters, Hagar Half-head, Adrik's secular forces, Sampath has augmented this crew--he'd like to do both, but at least this ship will be well-crewed in case of emergency Aboard the Deja: Jin, Adrik and his twenty missionaries, the forces from Infernus (55 total),

Aboard the Boat of the Undead: Kritot and his team, the Deathlings, Apple, the other half of Runic's Aerenidae,

As a cover, the ships are selling booze. They are bringing things from the Spiritmongers' Guild, and kegs of Gunna's craft brews. Six kegs of each are being brought (one for each of the six nations) plus pony kegs for tasting.

Seito carved an inscription on the Kadje Morsi where he killed Captain Ambermore.

"Daddy, I just puked," little Grae said, "and Gren is trying to lick it up."

The Deja and Boat of the Undead sailed down Two-Name Bay on the 8th of Mandalus. The other two vessels arrived in Westport on the 9th.

Upon landing, the Kadje Morsi was recognised: it is well known in these waters. Several red-capped men bearing halberds met them at the docks. After a tense scene, Cpt Sampath cleared up the current ownership, liberation from the Elven pirates, and re-registration in Stormundia.

A small away party investigated the Lilac Palace and visited the Rampant Lion tavern. Some of them are staying there for the immediate duration. Since there are about 200 people on this expedition, a sizeable home base needs to be found promptly. In the interim, shore leave has been restricted to small groups at a time.

A meeting with an officer of the court to set up commerce was set for the next day on the 10th of Mandalus.

Upon returning to their rooms, Gunna was huddled and frightened. "They tried to take my baby!" she exclaimed. Though Ms Backslash Em Forward-slash herself can pass as Human, her celadon complected todler cannot.

Seito talked to Benny, a textiles merchant. He was trying to get the lay of the land. Benny gave him the scoop on the Conveyors Guild, and how anything moved on or off of a ship in the Riverlands (and by extension much of the island) goes through their hands. The Conveyors are not to be messed with. Benny (and his wife) are meeting with Seito later.

Jong, Seito, and Mutt infiltrated the Conveyors' Guild. They were tasked with stopping a ship that was trying to unload upstream and bypass the guild. Seito walked into the water, staring at the approaching the launch until his eyes were underwater. From there he stole their oars. Mutt loudly commented that the other crew was, "Up shit creek without a paddle." Capturing the (sort of, but not really) smugglers got them into the guild's good graces.
