The fresh recruits from Nrovthbar have just finished loading the provisions for the upcoming voyage north. Having twenty eight souls to operate the ropes and sails is a tremendous improvement over fifteen. Departure procedure is completed in a half hour. While the dockhands below release the last three tethers Aredfln turns to Finch at the helm.
Aredfln-[Imperial]: "Aye, we art as the season Captain. Rejuvenated an overflowing with potential."
Aredfln claps his hand against the captain's shoulder and takes his position at the aft.
The final command is given. The smokestack valves are unshuttered and the Espiegel begins to ascend. Each of the party members take their positions on the deck. Judy was given a quick tutorial on adjusting the studding sails, enough for her to act as though she belongs.
Nearly at full capacity and graced by calm northward winds, the crew is able to continue sailing through the 'night'. An even mixture of folks from Temming's Rise and Nrovthbar leave their stations to eat their first proper meal together. The food on the first few nights of any voyage are the best. Perishables such as vegetables, cheese and even meaty stew are served at the Espiegel's first meal of the voyage. Judy sits nearby Andrea, Vala and Matyas on a cot. Agrina approaches the fresh face.
Agrina-[Imperial]: "Thou wear fine threads, an' thy features even finer. Thy pearly smile art beyond compare to all of Nrovthbar that doth smile here."
