The Rise of Tiamat

"Good morning Captain. Is there anything we can assist in to get us underway?", Kat asks.

"Onwards I guess. We an artefact to find in this wilderness. Let's take back to the sea!" Says Gryrig. He then tries to help the crew as much as he can with getting the boat ready for the trip.

The captain shrugs 'Do you want to go over the Ice or back to sea? Ether way, course walking is slower."

Duncan:

"Let us keep sailing, as close as we can to our goal," suggests Duncan.

Azzure nods in agreement.  “Even though I’d rather fly on this broom, I would like to rest and be carried to our destination by your ship.  Hopefully it won’t be rough..”

Torman nods. To his surprise he has become accustomed to the boat and the ice no longer looked as welcoming as it might. "Boat," he says with finality.

 Gryrig agrees. He also suggests that they take in in shifts to fly at height above the boat, as they would be much more likely to spot land (or a castle or whatever we may find) from a vantage point hundreds of feed in the air, than they would be from the deck or masthead. (Assuming similar curvature to earth, from the top of a viking longboat masthead [say max 50ft] the horizon is ~9 miles away. From 300ft up in the air it's around ~20 miles, and so on. Even with fog, should give us a better chance of finding something)

Kat makes ready to depart. She'd be willing to take shifts providing aerial support.

Gryrig takes to the skies to provide an eye-in-the-sky lookout, hoping to speed up their search. He is very glad of his magical protection from the cold, given the bitter cold winds he encounters high in the air. While he is in he air, he whistles some tunes and tries to enjoy the view.

The crew brings the ship, back to the water puts it back together, then launches it. You follow, flying or riding along. 20 miles later thru a maze of water and Ice,  you spy a mile away, can be seen caravel, . Even from this distance you can tell how wrecked it is, It's mast broken, its hull frozen in blue white ice. It took some time to launch the boat and travel said 20 miles, sunset comes.

"While I'm comfortable in the dark, I'm assuming it would be preferable to camp here and approach in the morning?", Kat asks.

"Is it worth the risk of an aerial scouting tonight? May help with planning."

"Should we ask the crew to make safe the boat and watch it, while we explore the wreck?" Gyrig seems keen to go, despite the late hour, as the travelling day was quite monotonous.

"At least a fly-by, perhaps? See if anyone has taken up residence?"

Torman shrugs, hist expression doubtful. "It's been a long day. Maybe kick the hornets nest when the sun comes up?"

“I’m keen to have a look now, scout it, then approach in the morning.  Who wants to come?”  Azzure readies himself to fly and use his Eyes of Night to survey the site in the dark, then make his way back to where they are camped.

Perception : 28 (Nat 20 + 8)

Duncan:

”I am not the stealthiest of scouts.  Perhaps I will remain at the ready from a distance, then you can call me in if you get in trouble,” suggests Duncan.

 Azzure only see's the deck of the Ice bound vessel, masts sheared with some force, lay upon its iced deck, and its side. 

Azzure flies back and lands, telling the others what he saw.  “No movement.  I got a good look, and I saw nothing.  Just turned on its side and frozen up.  Should we make our way there and approach, investigate it?  Are you all ready?”  

"I'd be up for a night time investigation of the ship. Shall we put it to a vote? All for heading in now?"

Kat raises a hand.

Duncan shrugs, then raises his hand, his newly-acquired darkvision making him game for a foray in the darkness.
