She rolled her eyes and grinned, sitting down beside Ivy, moving one of his arms and snuggling up to him, using his shoulder as a place to lay her head. She could hear his heartbeat and focused in on that, finding it calming and hypnotic in a way. Shifting just a bit so she could see the stars, she laid there with Ivy, losing herself in the beauty of the night sky.

After a bit, Riven made her way back over to their ship. She raised a brow when she noted Tyri and Ivy and moved up to where Kree was. "So what now, Boss?" She turned to lean on the railing, looking out over the water.

  Ivy     smiles slightly and he  plays a bit  with Tyri's hair...You ever  fight Slavers... I mean..in thie r homes.... Olant is  a cess pool of slaves

..............

 Kree  Looks up  at  Riven...we wait... we can't take the chance of leaving the frigate..its  too great a prize and  Gravin does not have  enough peole to hold against the sailors if they revolt...

 we cannot  trust sailors  from the Maidan  to sail with us, and  trun the  Raining Sorrow over to the Olant.. so we  wait  , for  whomever  comes  down to   aid us... then.. we go hunting

It is very clear that Tyri enjoyed him playing with her hair. "I...have not. You have to remember...this is all fairly new to me. I know how to hold my own if needed but..." she gave a small shrug, content where she lay.

"I figured we'd wait...just making sure you didn't have any other busy work for us," she said softly, still looking out over the wait. Reaching up, she pulled the mask from the lower part of her face and sighed. The wounds on her face were pretty much healed but they left a nice scar along her jawline.

  Both Moons hung in the  Sky now, the second sister  had caught the first and the magic of thier  closeness  light  the river  with silvery light.

 The Tall Sailor    pointed at the river...Fisherman's boon.. they call that.. a Gift from the sisters..  fish rise up from the bottom to catch  the bugs the light causes on the surface.. and the fisherman, catch the fish,,,

 kree  chuckles,Skavers  and Pirates call it   'Pirates Bane'..because yorunships and boats cannot  sneak up on shore line patch houses, or   ships that anchored for the night.

Tyri let out a soft sigh at the silvery light, feeling so...at peace at the moment, laying there snuggled up to Ivy. "It's...beautiful..." she nearly whispered, resting a hand upon his stomach.

 Elandra helped the ex-slaves, and then as the Sisters did their nightly race, Elandra then relaxed laying against a railing she embraced the night and said praise to Amot.

.....The Night passes, a bit quietly. there are sounds of  animals  who strayed to near the water to get a drink, as they   are pulled into the river  by serpents .. Birds and beasts of  the  forests  and   down the way.. echoing roars of Forest runners  as the fight  for  prey and survival in the swamps.

 the Early Morning comes... the deck is  damp with  dew,  Kree had the Shackled Maiden's Cook prepare morning fest  for both ship, still conserving    the stores on the Raining Sorrow.

 from the  crows Nest of the   Raining Sorrow, a Sailor called down...I can just see  two sets  of sail!...not wure  what they be  yet! They  Come from  'The Mound'...

 Kree  calls up...Come down to sup!... Ivy will check after we eat..if the come from up stream , we should have little worries, unless a merc Group hired a vessel out, and  are on the wrong   side.

Lysander will miss the morning meal, for now, as he catches up on sleep below decks.

At some point in the night, Tyri drifted off to sleep, snuggled up to Ivy, an arm draped around his midsection. Maybe it was due to that inner peace that she felt at that moment in time but regardless, it was needed. She popped an eye open when she heard Kree call and groaned, burying her face in Ivy’s neck and almost forgetting that they were out in the open on the deck of the ship. “But...I don’t want to get up...” she murmured into his neck.

 Ivy   disentangles himself and goes to clean up for the Morningfest.

 Kree looks  brght eryed  and  ready as he stands on the quarterdec  using the   the spy glass.....Two Sloops..... They Both Might be  Arrow  Sloops , from what we captured.. we'll know.. in 5 hoiurs?..maybe  4 if the winds stay fair...

 Captain gravin    came over on a boat witht eh frist  servings of  food,oatmeal, slightly stale bread and  a chuck of sizzling   meat that looked like steak..

 as  food  was being   cut up and  served  by The Raining Sorrow's cook..Gravin Joined   Shadow, he smiled at   Kree using the spy Glass..so? what happens  now?

 I am thinking on that?... perhaps  we'll send  some of the  'normal' goods  up the Tou  to be  Unloaded  at the ferry and taken to the Timber, the rest wil be yourse to sell as well as whther you want to sell the frigate to the  City, or keep it and sell your  brig..or?.. keep them both..I will not Lie? You will get a healthy  sum for  the frigate

 I think  my people will take ship on an Arrow Sloop, and have them take us the rest of the way.. I do not what you to lose   a ship or people, after  snatching such a prize...

 Alright?.. I will go with that.. I will also  make sure the Arrows get  part of the prize  money, no matter which ship i choose to sell?..here..Take this, I found it  as i went through the logs... he handed  Kree  a spyglass, it wasn't  as expensive  as Gravins, but  it was sturdy.

 ..Thank you!.. I had lost one i had a few years  ago.. this  will help us  alot...

 what do we do witht eh sailors and the Slaves?

 as you  shift some cargo to an Arrow sloop?.. ask  which   slave  want to go to the timber, and which want to go to The Mound?, those  goign to the Timber  can help  convey the goods and find a home  there... Those going to the city  can  either  find a place to settle in, or move on from there..

 The Sailors? you have a better  eye, then myself.. see which ones   want to join you.. and which ones are  hard  core  Vestes.. the  ones who do not join you, hand over to the Navy.

 gravin nods..Aye, that's what  I'll do... we'll be sending  more food over in a few minutes... Gravin  took his  spy glass leaving   Kree with his new toy and he   sued it to  lookign at the  two sloops again.

 Elandra helped the slaves and then finally rested for the night saying her prayers to Amot. In the morning she quickly got ready, said her morning prayers and heard Kree talking to the Captain about what they would do now. Elandra helped pass out food to the slaves, and checked on their injuries she treated the day before.

Lysander woke up about halfway through the morning and found some scraps to eat.  He found a good vantage point and watched the ships approaching.

Vilmund would take some of the food for himself, not stuffing himself, but not leaving himself hungry either. he will sit with the rest of the Arrows for morning meal.

Riven moved to take something to eat before finding a nice spot near Kree and sat. She looked out over the water occasionally, an almost wistful look in her brilliant blue eyes but she didn't say anything to anyone, just enjoyed the company and the food.

   around  High some , the lead sloop  Hailed  The Arrows ..  and in another  15   Minutes , both  sloops  sent  a  boat over  with there  commanders.

 Gravin came   other  as  well and they   sat   at the waist of the Ship.

 Of the   18 sailors  left  from  'the Maiden'  16  will sail for me  the other   two refuse...

  The Younger  Arrow commander says,I have   20  Empire troopers on my ship , waiting to   board the  Frigate  to serve as  marines

 The  older Commander  said,..we  brought  a dozen able bodied seaman

 Kree   nodded  as he  drank  some wine the Arrow  captains brought.Make sure  the  2 sailors  who didn't sign up, make it to Ironmound so they can serve in the ship building  crews.. Commander Frost.. my unit  will transfer to your ship..I leave the distribution of the good   and  slaves   to the rest of You... make sure.. if  any slave  chose to go to the Timber, that  they are taken to the ferry on the Tou? and  give them weapons .. perhaps
 suggest to the  Goblins there , to escort them to the trees.

  They all agreed,  they talked a but more   before getting  up...Kree called Out  ARROWS!!!  grab your gear, we  take  ship with The Blue  Sun for the rest of the trip!

Lysander looks forward to trying a different kind of ship.  He asks Kree "Would it be okay if I got a turn to watch par of the trip from up top, in the crows nets... I mean nest?"

Tyri danced about the deck though pausing where Kree and the commander. "Hello...who is your friend, Captain?" she looked to the other man.

Krwyn waits quite stoic till the boats and their crews are sort out. He is glad that the encounter with the frigat has been so well, but he is even so aware that more difficulties are in front of them.

 Looking  to Tyri he pauses a Moment,This is Lysander, he  has been with us a few days  now... He spent the night before  we shipped out  ,on watch  with me and  a few  others..

 Pointing to the Younger Commander,This  is  Master  Barin Hobbin, if the Sweet Water.. that  sloop that  is  unloading  troops to the Maiden

 To the older, Grizzled  Dwarf, This  is  Commander  Vogg Cress of   the Soggy HAmmer, they  once served the Empire , but Reedrick talked them into Joining the Arrows as privateers..

 The  Youner  Human , Gives a knuckle  salute to Tyri,..My Pleasure Ma'am, it is nice to see a wonderous  person  as yourself  among the  HArsh Captains  people!

 Vogg gives a snort,  'ware this Lad, Ma'am, he's  always lookin' fer a port to sail into!

  Kree chuckles  slighlty.....Vogg,  we shall go in your sloop, you have  more experiance with  night drops and the like... Barin?... You will lead the  Shackled MAiden into the  City...

 Garvin  had  approached  as he listend,..what of the   Raining Sorrow?

  Have your   first Mate sail her up the Tou to the Goblin Ferry, where they will unload  the  free folk and supplies you send  with them, When  it  returns,  The Sweet Water,  Raining Sorrow and Shackled Maiden will head  to the City...

 Garvin frowns, we don't have   any slavers or Pirates to hang from   sides fer the serpents to peck on and people to see?

 You will be led  by A Crimson Arrow   vessel...The Arrows  do not take  slavers or  Pirates  as prisoners... we kill them..

 Turning to  the Group he points to the Older looking  Sloop,Everyone..Gather  your  things  and   get ready to ferry across to  The  Soggy Hammer....lets move  smartly now..there are slavers  waiting to die!

 Vogg chuckles  at thei    and  calls out to his  slow  to ready the other   boat so they might use both to ferry  the Arrows.

Lysander grabs what little gear he carries and readies to board the launch.

 Elandra gathered her gear, she smiled at the Commander and said," May Peace be with you good Sir." Elandra smiles and then heads for the launch with the rest of the Arrows. She is still wearing her vestments over her armor, but she has found a few ways to make it look more appealing, and not so covered up.

throwing the last bite he had for himself into his mouth and following it with a last gulp of water, Vilmund grabs his shield and hammer, looking around, hmm. Me t'inks me needs m're gear. He smiles at his own personal joke and heads to the small craft. Ne'er ha'v much ta carry.

She gave Kree a flat look when he ‘introduced’ Lysander and smacked him in the shoulder. “I know who Lysander is...” Chuckling she looked at the young commander. “Oh they aren’t so bad...just rough around the edges and Vogg...I would have no problem with that but I think that one has her sights set on him...” she pointed to where Riven stood a little ways away, minding her own business. With a chuckle, she gave Kree a kiss on the cheek and danced off to gather her things.
