Terani is directed down below, where he reads his note. It's the same as April's. Meanwhile, the crew finishes loading up the last of the supplies, and begin casting off. The sails are raised, the anchor is pulled up, and the gangplank retracted. Slowly, the ship begins moving away from the docks, heading out into the sound proper.

"Hi, captain! I'm Poppy!" - she introduces herself to the man. - "So, they told you were the only crazy enough not to turn down this job. So... Thank you, for being crazy enough."
To April she asks: "Do you want to discuss the content of the note or is it a private matter between you holy people?"

"The note says specifically not to tell you, so no," April tells Poppy, nodding politely to the nearby captain.

"How mysterious and distrustful... Okay then." - she turns toward the captain again. - "So, Pisces, what happens if we encounter one of those ravenite ships?"

"Then it depends on what kind of mood the Ravenites are in," Pisces answers. "We might be able to talk our way out of it. Or failing that, at least bribe them to leave us alone. We might need to rely on your skills, though. I'm told you're all capable warriors."

"How many ravenites are usually on those ships? We are capable, but there is only 6 of us!"

"Depends on the ship," Pisces answers. "If it's a small scout or a full blown warship. If the latter...including rowers, it could be up to a hundred folk. So...let's hope that luck is with us."

"If our intel is correct, we might not have to worry about warships for the time being," Kalinda says.

"Well, that's good news," Pisces says. "Maybe this trip will be easier than the last one. Anyway, if you need anything, just ask me or any of my crew. Excuse me, I need to go plot our course with the navigator." He nods and heads to his cabin.

Returns to top deck. "All ready?" He says, feeling fresh and bouncy in the seas gentle rock of the boat.

"Seems like we are on our way," Kalinda says. "So should we start talking about how we are going to do this?"

“So, we land in Maplewood. What then?” April asks. “Where do we start?”

"I can scout from above," Blitz offers, flexing his wings a bit.

"If what Syltax said is accurate, a two-days trek to the north awaits us. Then we'll arrive in Suù." - she say, recalling what the advisor said. - "Now, personally. I think we'll have to lay low. Let's us avoid anything that could catch unwanted attention, for example: I think you two should hide your holy symbols once there." - she says to Terani and April.

Terani tucks away any visage of his piety. "Agreed. Once they've entered and settled should be a prime time... Just before they rest, which should give us the night by which to make a lead before the disappearance is noticed."
