"Alright, looks like reaching Serenity from here will take us around 18 days, cap'n," Bayla reports. "Course is charted."
=================
(OOC: Well, it was two years ago in real time. And yeah, that's quite a lot. You could buy a new ship with that. A galleon, the best and most expensive ship, costs 50k, so you're surprisingly close to having that much.)

The ships set sail. The next 18 days are largely uneventful, but it allows the party a chance to heal up from their injuries, as well as count out their treasure.
When they dock at Serenity, they find the city hasn't changed much in the past three months. It remains a beautiful city of white marble, a monument to the goddess Octhanus. All are welcome here, regardless of race, social status or background, so long as they hold no malice in their hearts.
===============
It is now Emirad 1st, 10 AM. All HP is restored.

"Alright, everyone can get some rest," Kalana says to her crew on the Blue Moon as she disembarks from her ship to meet up with Brax and Senllip. Once she finds them, she says. "We are heading to the temple. I might be able to get another ship to help us out, and we can hire healers for the other two ships."

Senllip goes to the first mate and gives orders to dock, guard the ship and replace the guard so anyone can enjoy some shore time. Also he speaks to the crew, "Good work everyone! You earned extra coins to enjoy your stay on shore, use it as you will, but be sure to be sober when you are back on duty." he then leaves 5 SP per crew member with the first mate making sure everyone will recognize the authority.
To Kalana he answers, "Indeed, healer and maybe mage and fighter too if we can find ones. Good work with the dragons you guys! And I think we are making friends with Tiaru as well!"
====================================
(OOC: 5SP is half gold, right? I assumed it is a very nice bonus...)

Senllip gives his surviving crew some extra silver, coming to a total of 6 and a half gold pieces of worth. Once all three crews disembark, the three captains head for the temple in the heart of the city. The central temple is the largest any of them have ever seen before. A small village could probably fit inside. There are likely hundreds of priests serving here, of just about every race one can think of, all wearing vestments of azure, olive green or lavender--the colors of the three branches of the Divine Trinity. Supposedly the high priestess of Octhanus herself resides here, although tracking her down is likely no easy feat.
Just walking through the temple halls, the party sees all sorts of wonders and marvels. A number of summoned Aasimon, or angels, walk the grounds. There is a long line of people waiting to drink from an elaborate looking fountain that, according to the people waiting in line, will heal wounds and cure sickness. They pass by a room where a number of priests are trying to craft a magical box that can conjure any food or drink one can name out of nothing but air. They pass by another room where some priests are trying to create artificial limbs that can be attached to amputees.
Eventually they make it to Saren's office. It looks just as it did before, with little in the way of personal effects, just a desk and chairs, a bookshelf stuffed with tomes and scrolls, and a couple of chests on the floor. Saren himself is busy scribbling some notes on some parchment.

"Friar Saren?" Kalana asks as she steps into his office. She was hoping that he remembered her. Honestly, she doubted it would be hard for him to forget considering the people she was traveling with the last time they were in Serenity.

Saren looks up and adjusts his specs a bit. "Ah, captain...Kalana, wasn't it?" he asks, putting down his quill and standing up. "It's been, what, three months or so? I trust all is well? What brings you back to Serenity?"

"I'm not really picky with titles," Kalana says to Brax. She was unsure about being captain, so being an admiral was pushing it in her opinion especially since she only became one because of her own personal problem. Clearing her throat, she looks back to Saren. "I was hoping to recruit you in helping me. My home island, Shadowshore, is under invasion, again, from Gunn. I'm trying to build up a fleet to go take them on because I can't let Shadowshore fall under Gunn control again. I have three ships under my name, plus two other ships that were apart of the Blue Lightning before they were destroyed. If you join, that brings us up to six ships to take on their dozen."

Brax smiles and shrugs it off "Eh you know we're just doin it to joke with ya. It's more of a jesting title due to tha way things have turned around."

"Admiral?" asks Saren. "Then, congratulations on your promotion."
He listens to Kalana's plan, and says, "Then correct my math if I'm wrong, but you'd still have each ship in your armada need to defeat two Gunn warships. I don't think anyone will be able to help the people of Shadowshore from the bottom of the ocean. Do you have some kind of plan to even those odds?"

"Right now, my plan is to gather as much help as possible," Kalana says. "Once we are all together, we can come up with a plan. Out of everyone here, I know Gunn the best. I went through their siege before, and I'm technically married to the Tethys, the one ruled over Shadowshore until the Blue Lightning liberated us. A surprise attack would be difficult because I'm pretty sure Tethys is going to expect my arrival."
