"I am sure there will be a ferry boat" says Barak, who is still hanging around to see what the others are doing and whether he needs to meet up with them.

Sigrun points, "It's over there. When the tide is out, you can walk, otherwise you'll need a ferry. I'm going to get some fresh food and head back to the boat with Borygg."

It is about a half a watch before the low tide is at its lowest (and safest) to cross.

"Well with half a watch before we can cross safely without a ferry, we could go clean up, or we can take a ferry across now." Algared says before he continues. "Given we're representing the Daas before the king it would, I think, be good to be clean. Yet, the urgency of the mission seems to encourage going across as soon as we can, even if its by a ferry."

Kugald laughs. "Aye, ain't that the truth!"

He runs his hand though his greasy hair. "There's no time like the present. Anyone who is coming, let's get over to the beach across from the King's hall and see if we can get a ride."

Algared joins Kugald and Jurri near the bank where they hope to be able to catch a ferry ride. With a chuckle Algared says, "Orbaal must be a barbaric place, if they no longer care about appearance and cleanliness, if our task wasn't as important as it is I would insist we washed and bathed first... At least we dont smell as bad as we did at the end of our last trek."

Bjarni mimes running his fingers through hair and says in a falsetto voice "But I can't do anything with it."

Claps Jurri on the shoulder and heads off with the group to find a ferryman.

Algared Daas wrote:When given the opportunity Algared speaks with Zaoul asking where he studied and seeking some knowledge of the young man's background. "So friend, I gather you are student of lore where were you fortunate enough to study."
Zueol stops his prepations at the boat to rise up and meet Algared's gaze. "It's probably something best discussed over an ale. We need to set sail and I'd rather focus on the task at hand. We'll share words on the matter soon enough, aye?"

...

When the boat sets sail with the aid of Zeuol and the others rowing, the man seems more in sync then three days prior. He's also not huffing away as much as before. Still considering the stoutness of the others in the group, he has a long way to go in terms of physical shape.

...

Just before boarding the ferry, Zeuol takes his pack. While they argue back and forth over appearance, he simple waits for the issue to be resolved. Finally he speaks up and mentions, "Since it's likely going to be a wait, best to put in our request for the King's ear as quickly as possible. Not to mention if we head to the keep now we may be given rooms while waiting for an audience. "

Standing near the waterline the warband converse about their intentions, Shingle, standing nearby on the shoreline near his boat calls out "If'n youse be after a boat to the island I canse take youse" as he waves his arm at his boat. "It'n only cost youse two silver coins a piece for the trip and I will even wait awhile for youse to return back".

Shingle moves as if to push his boat back into the water "Well's what says ye!"

[OoC: I believe Borygg is at the boat; Sigrun and Barak are heading for the "market" or the equivalant; whilst Algared, Bjarni, Jurri, Kulguld and Zeoul are all attempting to get to the king's hall/keep/dungeon]

"Sigrun, I will accompany you, if you don't mind, as you get some supplies. I'd like to find some fresh bread, but it looks like only the meadhall is open. I will have to see what they have for sell. If the bread is too expensive, I might just enjoy a meal and a pint there. Care to join me?"

"Old eel, I will give youse an old eel!" Shingle stands upright near his boat "Two pennies from each of you" he says as he points to everyone except Bjarni and then adds "three pennies for you now, young'un" he says pointing to Bjarni.

Zeuol gets a good laugh in at Bjarni's expense and slaps him on the shoulder, "Here's a piece of wisdom. When you're trying to barter, best not to insult the only seller." He then takes out the requested two coins from his already very slim purse and hands them to Shingle. Once the coin is exchanged, the scholarly Ivinian steps aboard.

Algared pays the fair and wonders what the prices and taxes are within the thran that demands such a high fee. But then reasons that 'ol shingle likely overheard their discussion and the sense of urgency that has been discussed and also knows that within the half watch the tide will turn enough that they could walk across anyway. The desire to cross and not wait for the tide clearly emphasising that their business is indeed important (at least to them).

Algared chuckles as they cross and says, "You know we'll likely not be admitted right away and be told to walk back over there at the inn until summoned."

Time: Mid 5th watch

With the thran beginning to settle down with the coming of night, Barak and Sigrun bid the other members of the warband farewell and good luck as they head into the thran in search of food and information.

Kugald, Algared, Jurri, Zeoul and Bjarni board Shingle's small boat. Taking up positions in the bow and stern, Shingle sits amidship and picking up the two small oars heads out to sea and quickly brings his boat on a heading to Brogars Island. You make the journey in safety and Shingle remains quiet but a slight smile is on his face, perhaps he is grimacing with the exhertions of rowing such a full boat.

The warband arrives at the base of the island, the fringes of the shoal are just beginning to be revealed as the tide starts to ebb. Following the path towards the gatehouse towards the north eastern edge of a ten foot high stone wall. As you approach the gate stands open and two guards can be seen on watch.

Nearing the gatehouse you notice that it is a solid structure and would take some effort to capture. The guards carry spears and roundshields, each of them has a 3/4 helm hanging from his belt along with a small handaxe and sword, but they wear no other armour but are dressed in simple woollen tunics and leggings. Their shields are covered in leather and are painted in the typical lively colours of a standard roundshield. They eye you off as you approach. "What business?" says the taller of the two.

"Hail, good sir."

"My name is Kugald Daas, uncle's-son to the Daas. I come bearing a message from my liege lord, Cunate Daas, to the King."

"I am joined by milord's skald, Jurri," Kugald points him out, "my cousin, Algared," gesturing to him, "and three of my officers and crewmen."

"Time is of the essence. I seek an audience with the King as soon as possible to present milord's message. I have been instructed to bring his response back to Ygesdram immediately afterwards."

"Permission to pass?"

Just as the boat hits land, Zueol hops off first, and loses his balance. However, he regains his footing before falling, but looks rather awkward doing so.

...

When Kugald introduces the 'crew', the Savoryan Sage offers a nod. He stands in a relaxed manner looking up at the fortified keep.
