"Ah, they're a mighty fine steal, only one gold each! Maximum you can buy in one day, though, is 10. We can't go bankrupt, see."
The archpriest swims back down to the God Larva, a horrific serpentine mix of snake and crab. (Search of Nadir Krakens) in the water it’s hard to see exactly what’s happening, but the Archpriest surfaces after a few seconds and hands them a perfect pearl the size of their fist.
”ten flutes, please.”
*Wowzers cool*
Dante scrutinizes the pearl for a second, glancing at Hayano, who shrugs then nods.
"An absolute pleasure doin business, my piscine friend." Dante grabs 10 flutes, puts them in a small cloth bag, and hands them over happily.

...and started me on my way into my next chapter in life...
Normiah tries to silently break away from the tourist group.
Tily the wolf follows them.
Normiah points to Tily's owner. "Hey, look! I'm sure your owner has some tasty treats for you over there."
Tily barks, not understanding what they’re saying.
Normiah just walks off and hopes Tily doesn't follow.
Tily runs over to Sylvi, barks at her, and Sylvi says something to Tily.
Tily then follows.
Normiah picks up pace, hoping the dog will lose interest.
The wolf continues following, but is now hiding behind cover as much as she can. She’s still mostly visible though, just doing her best to conceal herself while keeping pace with Normiah.
Normiah doesn't see the wolf. "Finally, peace and quiet from those idiots." He takes a calm breath of the air.
The wolf continues to stay hidden, but growls slightly as he says this. Not enough to be noticeable, though.
"Nobody else here... I feel quite soothed."
*I’m basically just waiting for you to do something lol, unless you weren’t planning anything then I could have something happen*
*Literally nothing, he just went on a walk because he wanted a break from you all lol*

Hello! I am a perfectly sane gibberer. Hi! :D
Locations are dead, the Temple of Potassium has fallen but its ideals live on
*So far people have expressed far more interest in Napoli than Pompeii, so that’s where the group will be headed.*
The Party: Mound, Ash, Xi, Sylvi (and Tily), Dante and Hayano
The Map:
Ignore the watermark! Ignore it, I say!
The journey is approximately twenty miles on foot, but Mound uses a rowboat “purchased” from the Castellammare di Stabia to cut the journey down to around fifteen miles.
The boat ride is uneventful. Each explorer alternates on the oars to ensure it can move at the fastest possible speed — except for Mound, who rows endlessly without ever tiring. They reach Napoli within three hours.
The lost city looms over the sea as though angry — vengeful, perhaps, furious with its own demise.
Its stench begins at the streets — waterlogged pathways of cobblestone that zigzag between towering stone buildings. Any wood present has all but rotted away, and most of the houses have long since collapsed into the waves. Utterly lifeless, barren, ruined. Shadows dance in the streets, teasing and hinting at a more substantial presence, but they quickly melt away as the boat drifts by. The waters that submerge the buildings are calm and still. The sky above is grey, but not cloudy. It’s a sky drained of all color, sapped of its spirit.
Mound stops rowing and stands, careful not to overbalance the rowboat.
“The undead here can get a little rowdy sometimes. Best to stick to the water, at least until we can find a sturdy shelter — these buildings by the docks often crumble away without warning. Once we set up our base, we can ransack the homes and monuments and sell what we find. The Empire pays handsomely for Napoli artifacts.”
*That’d be fine. You could also intro a new character if you’d like, like a survivor of the Drownings or something. Only saying cause this is a pretty interesting place to do it.*
*But yeah he definitely could have ended up there by accident.*
*oooh, tempting to make another character. If I'm gonna intro one here, probably would be some kind of undead, since you said they run around the place a lot*
Normiah has walked peacefully. He has enjoyed his time to himself greatly, so it's just a smidge annoying when he ends up in the ruins and sees the crew's rowboat in the river.
"Why did they have to come here out of all the places..." He mutters to himself.

You can sense an aberration about twenty feet below the water. It appears to be dormant.
