Tessa flashes a smile at Vilana. She motions at an empty chair, the other players having been discouraged by the carefree halfling's natural luck. She was left to her own devices soon enough.
Tessa informs Vilana on the appearence of the Dragonlord Kyrian, the dragon found in human form that seemed drawn to Naivara, and that they were still delayed waiting on the decision regarding the mutiny.
Finally she comes to the difficult part she says, "Sylcan has left. He has taken his entourage with him. I know not whence he has gone. I know that the two of you were close and together since day one of our awakening." Tessa reaches out a hand and gently places it on Vilana's. A rare sign of compassion and support from the mercurial halfling. "I'm sorry. The group's plans are still to continue North to secure the next items and portions of our souls. Kyrian is drawn there as well. He will accompany us."
“Thanks. I don’t mean to be callous, but part of me still regards all of this as strange and extraordinary, having me wanting to return yo my life and leave all of this behind. The more I learn though, the less I believe this to be possible... Anyway, I mamaged to get us all some gear, so we can go exploring if we have to.
That dragon, what did you think of them?”

Tessa shrugs her petite shoulders, sending her golden curls bouncing. She replies, "He was less impressive in his human form. I didn't feel drawn to him nor he to me. Naivara and he departed for parts unknown." Tessa regards the pile of goods Vilana has secured for the party.
The night passes uneventfully for the group. At one point Latrius checks in, learning that the group plans to leave in the morning. He lets the others know he will be ready, then disappears once more.
The next morning you all move to the docks again, and find Persus Neagel already there, with the half elf first-mate, now-captain, Castisha already getting the boat ready for departure.
"Persus here said you were wanting to get going this morning." The captain says as she greets you. "Come aboard, my crew got the boat supplied up yesterday, while I was detained, and we can be ready to shove off in the hour."
Other NPCs with the group: Higgul - human warrior. Walter - human rogue Nerrel the Bold 0- human thug Kel human barbarian Sivil - human rogue Morgan - human noble/barbarian
As you are all getting to the ship you would notice the day starts with a thick fog. Many lanterns have been lit around the harbor, allowing ships to navigate the area without risking running into docks or other ships. The temperature is cool, around 60 degrees, with a brisk wind around 12 MPH.
As you all settle onto the ship a lone figure come striding out of the fog and up to the ship. The dragonlords all sense him as he approaches, the same steel dragon from the previous day.
"Captain, have I your permission to board?" Palvin's deep voice cuts through the fog.
"Master Palvin..." The captain says, moving to the rail. She looks confused as she looks at the figure. As he gets closer you would see he wears clothing fitting for the northern climate, and has daggers belted at his waist. It is a far cry from the clothing he wore the previous day. "Can I help you with something?"
"I will be traveling with the treasure hunters." Palvin says with a shrug. "May I board?"
"Of course." The captain says, welcoming him aboard.
Palvin walks aboard, steel-gray eyes scanning for Naivara.
Tessa shrugs her petite shoulders, sending her golden curls bouncing. She replies, "He was less impressive in his human form. I didn't feel drawn to him nor he to me. Naivara and he departed for parts unknown." Tessa regards the pile of goods Vilana has secured for the party.
Tessa finds Vilana on the Ice Floe as the dragon boards. Tessa says to Vilana with a smile, "Now he is interesting." With that Tessa resumes her favourite perch atop the crows nest to look upon the horizon and marvel at the open sea. Any sea, even if it isn't the one she remembers.
"I thought about it long and hard, but I could not, in good conscious, let you go up there without some help." Palvin says with a shrug. "I am that help." He pauses for a moment, then pulls a scroll tube from his cloak. "This scroll is a copy of the purchase of one Ice Floe by myself. So, where my ship goes, I will go as well." He hands the scroll tube to the captain, who pulls a scroll out and looks it over.
"Well, Master Palvin, welcome aboard." the captain says with a nod at the scroll. She glances to the rest of you. "It appears Master Palvin is my ship's owner..."
Kierro greets Persus warmly and says hello to Capt. Castisha as he reaches the ship.
He replies to Kyrian: "Naivara must have piqued his interest. Besides, he's able to decide where he wants to go for himself, and I'm personally glad to have him with us - Steels are kind and powerful dragons. Worst case scenario, Master Pavlin might end up being vital to our survival as we travel."
His eyes go wide for a second as he sees the scroll of the ship's purchase. "Although I hadn't foreseen him being this invested in the whole ordeal. Not that it's a bad thing - that's some dedication. I have a good feeling about him."

Palvin sighs, glancing to Kierro. "I thought my secret might be out, but, please, keep that to yourself." He glances to the crew. "These might not know what that means, but I have little desire to have to leave my holdings here and relocate just yet." He pauses for a moment. Then, keeping his voice down as he continues. "People tend to get a bit tense when they find out my kind are living next door after all."
Vilana makes sure that everyone that needs to can get some extra furs and winter coats, snow shoes, rations, and flasks of oil for lanterns or fire. At Tessa's words, she gives a silent nod, before whispering back: "Not sure if we should trust a stray. Naivara has good intentions, but do we trust her with a potentially very strong ally along for the journey?"

Tessa flashes a devil may care grin at Vilana as she replies, "I believe we will all be joining with dragons during this journey into reclaiming these trinkets imbued with a portion of our souls in them." Tessa favors a smile of pure joy at Vilana as she continues, "Can you imagine it?! Riding once more upon the back of a dragon! The wind in your face, the target of your bounty fleeing before you. Glorious! It must be glorious!"

Kyrian growls, and whispers to Kierro "No-one told me we were taking him. What business does he have in the north."

Naivara explains everything Palvin told her about the white dragons when she initially boards. "We need to keep our guard up."
