OK, ships float on water in Tamriel, don't know about Sovere, but having a five ton Dragon waddle on board, does amazing things to a ship, I had to hold on for dear life to the hand rail, and I usually don't have any problems with seasickness, this time I had to cast a quick recovery spell to get over it. Meantime I struggled to get to the wheel, used some utility spells to loosen ropes and things and a bit of levitate against the shore to get us of the dock. Then Jemalas said " "With my wings, I can shorten that." referring to what I said about the time it will take to get to Sentinel. Now I don't know about you, but I enjoy a nice peaceful sea voyage, with the wind in my face, the deck under my feet and the rudder under my control, who needs to hurry, Oh well I thought, Jemalas is the guest, I mused, until .... Jemmy began to beat his wings. He gripped the wood, accidentally puncturing holes in the hull, but they were far above the waterline, so he used them as claw holds. Oh my poor deck was my first thought, thinking back to the days where I happily had removed all the slats and had them replaced with Magickly waterproofed mahogany, sure it took a while but I had done it with pleasure as I had done a lot of things aboard, you know a little here, a little there, it makes a place look homey and lived in, if you understand. Jemalas must have seen the look of dismay on my face, when my deck had two rip roaring holes in it, cause he threw his pack at me and told me to take a look inside, where I found a small pouch of what appeared to be platinum coins, Jemmy said that they where Soverian Platinum coins and it should be enough to buy another ship. I politely refused as I had no intention of buying another ship, and the shipwrights in Sentinel can repair anything naval, so I figured that while I was showing the group around Sentinel, there was plenty of time to get things done. I had planned to show them around Sentinel Province after I had introduced them to HRH Queen Aubk-i, as she is one of my favorite people and I like to think it's reciprocal, however with Jemalas showing such ... err un courtly manners lately, I have had second thoughts. But time has a way of doing things you can never plan for and thank Chronos for that, else life would be pretty darn boring. With Jemalas's help we made Sentinel in less than two hours, so with the sun coming up, Sentinel looked, well like only Sentinel can look during sun rise " gorgeous ". Jemalas was beginning to groan and I understood that his form was changing back again to normal, a quick thought flitted through my mind " I must tell Jemalas to watch out for those whopping great holes ", else he could easily and up in my bathroom down stairs, and being a girl I hoped that I had taken down all my underwear that was drying there > -- Regards Mea /\ /vvvvvvvvvvvv \----------Sacre-Noir------------------------. `^^^^^^^^^^\^ /ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ \/ +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "Vegemite" the power of love... | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "I didn't do it, it wasn't my fault" | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ |Homepage: http://geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/6161/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Mea Culpa Fighter - Cleric Toujour L'amour Mea Culpa Fighter - Cleric Toujour L'amour HTML Mail 1st Villa South of the Angry Porcupine Work: Would be very upsetting Vanshire Fax: N/A Menevia Home: Australia + 0411 116587 Winzip Netscape Conference Address Tamriel Additional Information: Last Name Culpa First Name Mea Version 2.1
