Aha! A lead! Investigate the bone.

[WillowLuman]

Aha! A lead! Investigate the bone.

The ship comes to a stop in the shallows, gently running aground. You disembark and go over to the bone. On further investigation, it's attached to an entire skeleton, wearing the remains of fine clothes. There is an engraved lead plate strung from from its neck, which just about reads

"Whomever shall find me, know that I could not bear the vision of times ahead. I hope to find peace"

[Dermonster]

"Ominous. Excellent! Time to go."

Time to exit the cove! Check ships hold for transport, animals or otherwise.

[vishdafish]

Wear the lead plate, before walking towards the forest.

Astranix:

"Arhax, I'm going to have ask you to lead the way, can't keep up the pretence of being a poor blind man if I'm the one setting the pace."

Follow Arhax, trying to see if any people's lie in the direction we're going.

[vishdafish]

"Hehe, sure."

Arhask makes his footsteps slightly louder, so Astranix can follow by sound easily.

[Xantalos]

Garalagrulon

Garalagrulon disembarks, his armoured feet sinking slightly into the wet sand.

"Ah, the mortal realms! I love the weather systems here.

Right, now then, where are we all heading? We need to get out of the cove first, but if we're splitting into three groups, why not one left, one right, one straight ahead? We scout in our directions for ... let's say a week, and if we don't find anything we head back. If we do find something like a village or somesuch, we stay there and send one of our respective parties back here to meet up with the rest. Sound good?"

[Tiruin]

Familiarize myself with the soul-crew to be able to contact them if needed. Mayhap quickly teach them our language and then get one of them to act as an entourage or spotter for each of our groups.

Then get along with Garalagrulon if he's ok with it.

"We should go where they do not. Chart our way progressively."

[Dickson of the Trinity]

Prenastous ((Didn't post at the weekend because I don't have Internet at home. Have some music, for compensation.))

I have to agree with your idea, Garalagrulon. I also hope we do minimal fighting on the travels.

Follow the leader, leader, leader. Of the group I belong. Also keep a keen eye for anything useful: equipment, materials, or any landmark.

"A scan of the area revealed a few streams and one rather large river not too far away. Where there is water life usually isn't far off. I am fine with traveling in a general direction, but if this proves fruitless perhaps we could consider following one of these?"

Make a quick scan of the deck for an empty bucket I can carry. Then make sure to keep up with Derm and Prenastous.

[ATHATH]

Idea: Make the lich your friend, and redeem him to the side of light. Then have him use his powers to channel safe amounts of the Darkness's strength into a place where it can easily be repurposed and/or destroyed.

[WillowLuman]

(So sorry for the delay!)

And so, in the annals of history, the cove would become known as Wizard's Landing, though not until much later, for their arrival had occurred in total secrecy.

The cove is surrounded on three sides by cliffs, open to the sea on the west side. The coast itself runs as far as the eye can see both north and south.

"Ominous. Excellent! Time to go."

Time to exit the cove! Check ships hold for transport, animals or otherwise.

The ship holds a cart and two mules of humble appearance yet blessed nature. However, it might be difficult to get them up the cliffs, should you seek to head inland (east) directly, though undoubtedly there's a shallower ascent somewhere along the coast.

Astranix:

"Arhax, I'm going to have ask you to lead the way, can't keep up the pretence of being a poor blind man if I'm the one setting the pace."

Follow Arhax, trying to see if any people's lie in the direction we're going.

Casting your gaze ahead, you see that there will be farmland relatively soon on any overland path taken from this point.

Familiarize myself with the soul-crew to be able to contact them if needed. Mayhap quickly teach them our language and then get one of them to act as an entourage or spotter for each of our groups.

Then get along with Garalagrulon if he's ok with it.

"We should go where they do not. Chart our way progressively."

Unfortunately, the souls must sail back. Their restored life is only temporary, and the ship must be removed from sight, to preserve the secrecy of your arrival.

I have to agree with your idea, Garalagrulon. I also hope we do minimal fighting on the travels.

You spot a skinny trail of smoke rising in the distance to the east.

The finest bucket that was ever crafted of wood by mortal hands is yours.

[NRDL]

Astranix:

Go to this farmland, with Arhax's consent, and talk to these farmers.

"My friend, there is ample farmland ahead of us.  If we are to make a good first impression, we must be on our best behaviour.  They will likely mistrust us, so in order to not cause alarm, we cannot let them know of our powers."

[vishdafish]

"Yes, that is a wise idea. Whats our story gonna be? Sailors washed on shore?"

Arhask follows Asterix to the farmland.

[NRDL]

"Hm, might open up too many questions.  There's no real answer we could give them that would make them trust us immediately.  Let's just say we're travellers.  If they rebuke us, we move into the wilderness, and you can begin your work there, and we can observe them from a distance.  If they accept us, we lie low, and learn as much about these people, and the Enemy, as we can.  Figure out how to proceed from there.", Astranix said.  General plans like that were often better than concrete ones, as they left room for improvisation.  Not everything could be foreseen, after all.
