"Sure thing, man. I could use some company." John says to Grungle as the two start to march off to the city.

"I don't know about you guys, but I don't have a whole bunch of extra clams to shell out at the inn. I also feel like we're missing something. Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening before? I'm scouring my brain here..."

Conrad collects the two fish that he caught and packs up his belongings as the group heads back to Byting. Along the way, he asks Gormund for more information about the town.

"Tell me sir, how long have you been in Byting? I'm interested learning more about your wonderful place. Anything exciting happening that we should be aware of? What about any troubles that your currently plagued with?

Persuasion: 13

The man is in no mood to talk, and he shrugs of your attempts at friendliness.

Hubert follows John and Grungle, jogging slightly to keep up.

"Ya lemme see if I can think of anything."

Seeing most of the guys begin to leave, Lumin asks, "You guys think it might be worth trying to camp it here, to see if anything turns up tonight? There enough of us to try and keep a solid watch."

Leo looked up from gathering seaweed. "Hey, wait up!" He jogged to catch up with the rest of the group, a mass of seaweed in his arms. "I'm gonna try drying a lot of this stuff. It should be delicious, if not beneficial."

Lumin looks for a nice piece of flotsam (perception check? 21 ), sets it to the side, piles up some of the drier wood, and starts a fire in a sheltered portion of the beach near the boat. He takes his woodworker tools, and begins widdling a small ship to match the wreck.

Stan hears Lumin's comment about camping by the wreck, as he was heading back to inn. It sounds like a good idea. "Sure. I'll camp on the beach for a night.", he says. Stan will help gather drift wood for the fire.

There is plenty of driftwood to be found, and you soon have a roaring fire going. The air has turned brisk and sharp, even though night is still a few hours distant, and you are glad for the warmth of the blaze. The shipwreck looms menacingly and the waves continue to lap at it's shattered hull, as if hungry for more. Gormund has since left you, eager to return to Byting, and you and the seagulls are the lone inhabitants of the beach.

Stan will lay out his bedding on a drier section of the shoreline, upwind from the fire. He will finish gathering enough driftwood to keep the fire burning throughout the night. Afterwards he'll sit next to Lumin. "Where did you learn to carve?", Stan asks making small talk. Meanwhile Stan will work on moving a copper coin over his knuckles to keep him entertained.

I put my bedroom down and chill next to the fire for a while 

"I used to take care of the beasties for this traveling show growing up, and I would make a little side copper with my wooden menagerie after the show. Uncle Jara took every 5th coin for his wine collection, but I didn't mind. Anything is good when you're still sprouting, but not budded." (Taking another look back at the ship) "So, have you ever heard of a ship where things just dissappeared like this no blood or anything?" Continuing to widdle the hull of his replica. 

(DM is there a sail still on the ship, and if so, what does it look like?)

"Hey Zahim,  thanks for hanging out...what do you make of all this?"

(The sail is gone, most likely resting on the bottom of the ocean.)

"John looks back as he's leaving, and sees his party members setting up tents and campfires. "Hey Grungle, maybe we should do this shopping thing tomorrow. These guys could use our help if this thing shows up." John starts running back to his party, and immediately takes out his bed roll. "Hey guys, hope you don't mind if I join y'all. I figured you all could use an archer if this thing shows up, plus the sound of the water just soothes me when I sleep."

Toward John, "waves...the kind of music just sooths your soul."

Seeing the rest of the party turn back from the town and return to the shipwreck. Conrad will follow suite. Once at the fire, he will proceed to fillet the two fish he caught and throw them on the fire for the party.

“Someone needs to watch over this lot” he tells himself and finds a place near the fire.
