Cedrick walks over to Franz, and laying a hand on his shoulder speaks to him in a calm and soothing voice."I feel your pain my friend. I too lost my family, and if not for the kindness of an elderly priest of Helm, I do not know what would have become of me."
Then looking Franz squarely in the eyes, he adds "I give you my word, with Helm as my witness, that I will do all I can to aid you to restore your family's honor."
Franz turns and looks Cedrick up and down. Calmly, with a look that says "I am your better", he takes Cedricks hand from his shoulder, and then brushes the non-existent dust from his own hands.
"Thank you Cedrick, your help could be of value when the time comes."
While Franz seems genuine in his remarks, there is a very strong sense of "I am of a higher station, and you should know your place" about his actions.
As Zaliey finishes his spell, he turns to Franz smiles and asks, “ do you have the book? Maybe I can help you on your path. Sorry about your loss though.”

Sylrea is sitting at the front of the boat, slowly strumming her new banjo. As she is playing, she is searching their surroundings for anything that might be out of the ordinary.
As the boat arrives to the island, Zaliey looks to a spot about 10 feet above his head. Calling out to his familiar, "Striker ..... go out ahead of us and let me see what is ahead." Above him a small pop and out of nowhere a jet black hawk flys out about 100 feet ahead of the group to search the beach and treeline for anything of note. Zaliey sits down in the boat while the bird allows him to see through its eyes.
Zaliey comes out of the hawk to tell the group what is ahead. “There are wrecked ships and a huge reptile skeleton up ahead. We should probably be looking out for the skeleton or what killed it.”

Cedrick looks over the scene... the boat... the island... his new companions... 'The Oder of the Plains'... if this is Helm's will, then Cedrick will continue the journey.
"I am interested in the skeleton... what it was... how it died... there may be useful information there." He then heads to the reptile skeleton to check it out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sylrea follows the others off of the boat and continues on a little bit ahead. She stops maybe 30 feet ahead and searches around the area for any other signs of life. Just in case Zaliey's familiar couldn't see that well. She strums on the banjo just a little bit to see if there is a reaction from anywhere.

While the boat is going near to the island, Fuzzyfeet looks at the source of the smoke.

The smoke seems to be coming from the mountain, which turns out to be a volcano.

It isn't long before the boat lands on the shore of the island. A few crabs scuttle about, and a dense jungle looms ahead of you.
Pietr plants a small flag on the ground.
"I claim this island for the order of the planes!"
"I think that's a pretty good name for our group, right?"

Not much can be found, other than a few wrecked ships and a huge reptilian skeleton.

As Zaliey finishes his ritual and summons his new Hawk familiar, Franz remarks
"Ahh, a familiar if I'm not mistaken, most useful. I would greatly like to master that bit of magic myself, one day."
Franz looks out over the island
"Well, I think I'll go get the others"
Franz heads into the cabin and about a minutes later Bram emerges
Bram takes in the sweeping vista of the island with a sparkle in his eye
"Wow, this is great!"
As Zaliey give his report about the large skeleton and the shipwrecks, Bram jumps up onto the railing of the boat
"Come, Order of The Planes, adventure awaits us!"
Bram jumps off the boat and begins heading in the directing of the shipwrecks

The skeleton has slash and breaks on it everywhere, but one thing intrigues you. A single carving on the skull says:
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT
-GK
Just below it is:
GOING WEST, MEET ME THERE
-ELROY

"Turtle"
Fuzzyfeet transforms the magical boat back into a box and places it into his backpack.
"I can't remember who currently owns this so I'll hold it for now. Let's go to the west to meet Elroy."
Fuzzyfeet estimates where is the direction to west.

OOC: Did Bram find anything worthwhile about the ships? (Nireus: CONGRATS!!)
Cedrick points out the information on the skeleton, and agrees with Fuzzyfeet that the best course of action is to head west to meet "Elroy".
"Our path appears to be set before us by Helm himself, and as the ancient tomb states: 'Seek the path, and the path be found.', so let's get going."

Zaliey picks up the book to see if it is a spell book or something that might tell them where to go next.
