A couple of Senllip's crew remark that they have also visited the floating island of the Children of Meer, having had a bit of 'fun' while they were there.
Meanwhile, Bayla calls down, "Well, that got their attention. They are asking for permission to board, capt'n."

Brax signals for his ship to stop just behind the other two and waits to see what happens.

"Let them board," Kalana says. "And signal for Brax and Senllip to board as well."

Bayla signals back to the Lleiset and then signals again to the Salty Dwarf and The Blue Diamond. Once Senllip and Brax have boarded the Blue Moon, the Lleiset begins sailing toward them. The three have a few minutes to talk before it arrives.

"I'm going to ask them for an alliance, which means we are probably going to have to do something for them," Kalana says. "To prove our trust."

"Just to show that we are united," Kalana says.

"Just to show that we are united," Kalana says. The dwarf nods his head "Easy 'nough."

After about half an hour, the Lleiset comes into boarding range, pulling up alongside the Blue Moon. The boarding plank is extended, and an elven woman steps aboard, alone. She has wild, raven black hair, nut brown skin, and bright green eyes. She wears leather thigh boots, a green duster coat, and a leather skirt. On the top of her head is a black tricorn hat. A rapier is tied to her belt, and despite the fact she is striding aboard an unknown ship alone, she carries herself with such confidence one wonders if she could somehow be a match for an entire crew on her own.
She glances over the party in turn, before abruptly stating, "Well, I don't recognize any of you. You claim you were Blue Lightning ships?"

"We use to work under Captain Julak of the Tiaru," Kalana says. "We were thrown overboard during the attack on Tu'valie, and since then we have managed to get our own ships," she explains. "I'm Cap..er I guess everyone is calling me Admiral Kalana, and I am hoping to enlist your help. The island of Shadowshore us most likely, by now, overtaken by Gunn, and I wish to free the the innocent people from Gunn rule."

The woman sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Julak," she says with exasperation. "I still can't believe he named his ship that," she mutters, shaking her head. "Well, no matter. The Blue Lightning already liberated Shadowshore from Gunn once, we--or what's left of us--can do it again, I'm sure. What sort of numbers do they have?"

"You know what it means?" Kalana asks curiously. "I asked him about it multiple times, but he never told me what it meant. He said something about a beautiful goddess of the sea, but I don't know of any goddess of the sea," she admits. "And Gunn has a dozen ships. When we sailed by, they were just approached Shadowshore, so by now I'm sure it is fully occupied," she explains. "As for us, including you and the Tirau, we have five ships, three of which that aren't ready for battle."

"But we are equipped with courage, spirit and wit!" Senllip adds and incline his head politely.

"Gods help me," the captain says, blushing in annoyance. Clearing her throat, she says, "I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Captain Tiaru Jarok of the Lleiset."
Moving on, she says, "So five ships against a dozen. I assume you have some kind of plan then? Courage, spirit and wit are excellent but not nearly enough to take out an entire war fleet."

Brax understands the captian Tiaru Jarok's sigh and reaction "Aye we know it ain't enough that's why we're tryin ta rally as many as we can ta join tha cause. We got men, an crossbows for tha most part. But we only recently liberated two of these cargo ships. An I guess story goes that tha Blue Moon was a slaver ship that the Admiral librated with her crew." the dwarf tries to "inspire" Captain Tiaru Jarok with his reply.
