Hail all
Last eve my friends of the KEF and I went on a sailing expedition, to find this supposed 'ghost ship' that we'd heard of now and again. After pirate Silverwind managed to... defeat his foes, we set off into the blue waters heading north from Corwyn.
Finding that captain Trigg had no idea where to go, I scribbled some notes onto a map for the tillerman, who winked at me while saying 'aye, aye sir' to the imperious looking Trigg.
After a stormy journey, frought with peril; 20, no 30 sea serpents! Hundreds of mongbats! So many elementals that... well, aye laddie, ye caught me. We ran into nothing the whole way. We reached the last coordinate I'd scribbled, then with a quick check of the sextant, made our way a little further distance. Then, out of the mists...' I had stormy weather after we had left the wreck, so this drawing is courtesy of Angel Storm, who happened by later in the night. Ah... the drawings you missed. Sea serpents with huge fangs that ripped the KEF folk to shreds! We barely escaped with our lives! Well...
In any case, we tried talking to the ghostly fellow, but he ignored all hails and just stood looking to the north, as though expecting someone... or something! After a suitable time of 'checking for survivors' we decided to leave the quiet ghost to his lonely vigil. And it was getting dark... very very dark.
