"For the Last time Lorentino I have no one who can take you east." I was at a dive bar at one of the many ports of Ronerawth (because when seeking the best for your dollar, go to the place with the cheapest booze and loosest women). This had been my fifth trip to a dive bar in an as many port cities and the response was much the same at all of them. It's frustrating when everyone keeps telling you something and you can't just bribe or yell at them to change their opinion. Sadly it wasn't some great evil or anything that was keeping them from sailing east, but the damn weather and their utter lack of spines for taking on some horrible ship destroying storm that was once in a century blowing through the coasts like I didn't even care! So it was raining almost nonestop and walking outside was soaking me to the bone within a few seconds, surely some idiot err kind faithful soul was willing to take on a damn challenge!
"This is a conspiracy!" Always a conspiracy, when I wake up in the morning with drool on my pillow? Conspiracy (I do not drool, or snore, despite complaints to the contrary over centuries, thats how deep that conspiracy goes!)
"Mr. Lorentino I tried I looked up and down the coasts I've even went over what you suggested for the price for a ship, no one wants to sail east." This was my last contact for this kind of thing, not that I had a lot of contacts in shipping, but what little I did have were all completely unhelpful.
"I'm going to have to get a ship my damn self aren't I? This is ridiculous."
"That would be suicide Mr. Lorentino I really can't advise you to do that." I walked away in a huff. I figured the difficulty would come from finding the guy who locked the magic in me, not actually getting to the damn place he was! Stupid sailors! I was so angry I drank myself into a stupor (ok thats a bit of a lie I drank a lot during those days anyway, the anger just made the process go faster). When I woke up I was a on a ship sailing somewhere and my stomach felt like it was doing a dance with my ass. So you know a weird way to wake up, but not the worst way I've ever woken up!
