As the ship leaves the river port and begins its trip towards the delta the entire crew takes to action. When offered labor by any of the passengers the Captain is more willing to accept with the rather abrasive comment. “I don’t take lazy work, if your work, you work and if not, then get out of the way for those who do.”
The voyage down the river is an easy one and surprisingly fast, several times the ship has to use its anchors, to slow its decent in troubled areas, but the second lieutenant is a skill sorcerer with craft focused on spells for sailing.
The trip of over 100 miles takes less than 5 hours and by the time the sun reaches its zenith the Fair Treader is more than 40 miles from the coast.
Unfortunately such things are not always pleasant, as the toss of the small ship causes many of you to wish for solid land under your feet. Apparently dwarves are not the only ones who belong on land.
