Cassandra, happy to share her knowledge, gets the sails trimmed for the maximum safe speed possible in the conditions, and is assessing the ship with the crew. “Y’all pay attention, we will make a good crew. That crimson lot won’t know what’s coming for em, my mistress be praised!” She teaches the others how to steer and hold a course:
, “use the compass and the wind on yer cheek as a guide and the sun and stars help a bit when you can see ‘em ., You can hear when you’re off- see the sails start to flutter, turn a bit to starboard.. ehh that’s it”
(Fun game- I won’t be able to keep up this pace of posting tomorrow!.
Cassandra will continue to teach. In the process those with her will learn her previous ship crew quit and went separate ways when their captain retired and no one liked the new captain. She was in port looking for a new ship , captain and crew. She is convinced her goddess led you all together and that the stars seem aligned to start moving against the Crimson fleet...)
Ash listens to what’s Cassandra is say with her teaching and smiles of how much she knows of sailing now, she is proud but then a gust of wind pushed her face first onto the ground ( her wings her out and she did that proud poses). She quickly gets back up and catch’s back of with Cassandra.
Ceeshes description: An otter with a captain's hat and an otter-sized rapier, with glossy fur, beady eyes, and wiry build that makes him seem ready to spring off at any time.
He is standing on the starboard bow of the ship and studying the stars.
"We should make for one of the Northern ports, it would be suicide to go after those crimsons right now without any weapons..." Says Ceesh, sense slowly leaking back into his small head. As he stares at the stars he takes a small stone out and begins to rub it.
He suddenly scurries to one of the masts and climbs up it and shouts to the whole ship:
"We need to get away from that port and find a way to get some more gold to beef up this ship with some weaponry. We should get to one of the ports further North, there we can find some work and maybe a couple of crimsons to attack along the way."

“Aye Captain ! Setting course for the North”. Cassandra replies, and does another silent prayer as she adjusts the wheel and has the crew trim the sails for the new course. She explains about wind directions and sail angles, tacking and jibing, etc.
"I hope they have some damn food on that port, I'm starving..." Arkan was board, Hungry and a bit mad, He raises his hand and asks. "Question, Do we have cannons? Because we can't have a boat without cannons?"

"This is a merchant's ship, so no, it does not have cannons yet. But we will get some when we get more gold."

Welp. Nat 20. You discover every crumb of consumables in the hold.
350 Oil Flasks
5 Potions of Healing
200 days of rations (hardtack, dried nuts/berries/smoked meats)
4 barrels of clean water
2 barrels of salt beef
10 jars of candied fruits
These are not yours, obviously. They belong to Ceesh, but you may ask either him or the cook (once one is appointed) for some food.

O.K. I'm going to research the positions and where everyone will fit on my ship. This is OOC, so I'm just going to check put character sheets and post positions either later tonight or early tomorrow.
“Thank you very much” as she follows Cassandra
Sylhorn pays attention to any instructions given
Røwan also follows

As h takes more mental notes and helps Cassandra.
Røwan nods and follows, looking around
Now that introductions are done, it's time to organize the crew, assign positions, and chart a course.
