((Galingal doesn't actually see Stena come up, but he'd have heard her asking Jimjar the question.  After that, Galingal will be talking into the air where he thinks she was. Anyhow-))

"Aye. Do ye have a dagger? We can do it now. Aye'll trace it on first, or ye can get Lia to put it on there.  If ye can convince her."

"Wha! Stena?", a confused Jimjar asks.

Stena answers Jimjar,

"Did aye mubble? Which direction?"

She lifts a hand to wave in exasperation then stops.

"Wha... where's meh-"

She looks down and frantically feels up and down to ensure she is there. Finding she is still there she is quiet for a long moment.

"Aye'm here, just not visible. For whatever reason."

She grabs Jimjar  and becomes visible to him and herself. Then to Galingal as he approaches. Blinking at the change she willed before releasing the gnome and stepping back. She attempto play off any lingering concern with a gruff,

"In any case,  which direction?"

"You sure that thing didn't noodle around up there?", Jimjar asks, brushing himself off and pointing at Stena's head. "What are the odds you're gonna have a relapse and decide to go swimming again?"

"That way, I think."

Stena scowls at the question.

"Aye think any 'relapse' is going to be the fault of Neth. Aye feel fine."

((What kind of rolls for cutting up Galingal?))

((Dex, with PB if you have relevant tool prof or Sleight of Hand.))

Galingal watches Stena carefully for a few moments, curious about this new skill at disappearing in the dark she is showing. Did the encounter with the swimming creatures change her somehow? He would have to keep an eye out for any other changes.

"If Lia use magic put crow on cheek, easier Stena to follow and etch in," Galingal says, looking towards the cabin where Lia was resting.

He looks out over the water.

"We need catch food too," Galingal adds.

Stena, as you ponder scarifying Galingal, you find your dagger missing.

"Ye can ask her. Aye will do it either way."

Stena frowns as she checks her belt for her dagger, moving then to check her other items- first Eldeth's shield and hammer.

"Meh dagger is gone."

Galingal looks at Stena for a moment when she mentions her dagger is gone. He then looks around the deck and up to where Neth was sleeping.

"Where is Buppido?" he finally asks, remembering what the twins accused him of.

He goes to the entrance to the cabin and looks inside for the derro.

Buppido is on deck, at the stern of the boat, stretching and scratching himself as he gets woken up.

Galingal watches Buppido for a moment then looks back at Stena.

"Jimjar not take. Maybe bet you for it but not steal," Galingal says. "I have one. Lia, no."

He thinks for a moment longer.

"Lia's tiefling or your small drow?"

Lia has slept in… She wakes from a deep sleep, groggy and disorientated. Finding a quiet corner inside the boat, she strips down to her shredded under-vest and shorts. She cleans herself with prestidigitation  from top to toe, almost ritualistically, methodically… distracted.

As she finishes, her hand goes to the back of her neck, then reaches over her shoulder to rub an itch at her shoulder blades. Just a dream, she thinks to herself…

She cleans all her gear, unpacks and repacks her pack, then dresses for the day in her scavenged armour. She braids here hair and wears it up in a tight bun at the base of her neck. Not her usual style.

She eventually emerges onto the deck. She looks for Neth.

((iirc, Neth was going up to the roof of the cabin, so wouldn't be immediately visible on the deck to either side of the cabin.))

"Lia's tiefling hasn't been close enough.  Aye'll go ask the boy. Ye can ask Lia if she'll help. When aye get back we can start if ye're ready."

Stena heads in to where the boy is sleeping and asks in undercommon,

"Morning. Ye slept well enough?"

After waiting for his answer she'll continue,

"We don't have much food but we'll work on that as we travel. The events last night, and a couple of our traveling companions, got meh to thinking ye might need something to protect yer self with. Aye was planning on giving ye meh dagger but..."

She lightly taps where it had been,

"If... aye happened to have...dropped it and ye found it, ye're welcome to it. If not, let meh know and aye can start looking. "

Insight: 18

As Lia emerges onto the deck she hears less than half of what’s said. “Lia’s tiefling!”, she repeats quietly to herself with a smirk. She doesn’t like it… but she doesn’t hate it…

She quickly glances half-heartedly around for Neth but doesn’t see him. Maybe he’s still asleep below and she walked right past him.

She rubs her eyes and walks lazily to the front of the boat to look out across the dark dark waters. She asks anyone who’s there, “Where we headed?…”.

She listens for any hint of an echo off distant walls, or the faint noise of a city. For monsters, or for any patches of unusual silence in this silent place…

Perception (hearing) if needed: 18 (passive 15)

Galingal just gestures in the direction Jimjar was steering the boat.

"This way for now," Galingal says. "If we don't find food need shortest way to near town."

Galingal then explains what he's already said to Stena about needing the raven emblem of the Raven Queen carved on to his face. He shows her the version he's etched into the decking.

"If you can put on face, Stena will cut in," Galingal says.

Lia smiles and waves her hand, using prestidigitation to recreate the image she was shown on Galingal’s cheek… “Like this?…”, she asks, getting out her dagger to show him the reflection in the blade. “If it fades I can cast it again”, she says with a kind smile.

((Galingal can see, and will have seen before, the two tone effect of Lia’s own skin. It’s more a texture change than a colour, like some of her skin is normal while other parts are slightly pearlescent. The changes make sharp geometric shapes across most of her body and face. It’s only subtle but it’s there. It’s not been mentioned whether they are are tattoos. They don’t.. look… like tattoos)).

Galingal nods.

"Yes. Just like that," the shadar-kai says.

He looks back to the bunkhouse Lia just came out of Stena went into.

"Stena, when ready can use my dagger," Galingal calls.
