The sea, speaking via the crrashing of waves against the side of the boat, tells you that it doesn't know what you're talking about. However, it says that there are a great many human things below you and in this area.

((The Speaker isn’t on the boat, he’s actually on the shore. I think you made the same mistake with other people as well…))
Edit: didn’t see this before…
Genesis locates Speaker, and scrawls in the dirt with his needle, making sure Speaker sees it: "YOUR TASK: Find a clipboard, notebooks, and pens/pencils. Only communicate with me via writing from now on, until you get afunctionary to give you hearing."
The Speaker nods and uses his needle to write “Ok” in the sand. He then proceeds to ask the sea if it has the items Genesis asked for, and if so, where they can be found.

The sea throws a glob of seaweed into your face for wasting its time.
"Debby? How did your efforts go?"
"According to the ocean the hammer is coming up from the bottom a few miles from here and is heading towards the town, then the waves became and arrow."
Debby then points to where the arrow had indicated.

Return to Ericson and let him know that the Hammer seems to be heading toward town. Let him speak directly to Debby through the link if he needs more info. Then ask about the use of a balloon (and guide) to fly up to the sunken town and then to the Atelier branch.

convoy. Symbol on trucks: Red Lion. Boss was called Sanders.
Town boss is named Ericson
He listens and tells you he's going to hang nets across the bay opening and get all the cannons and harpoon guns to point that way. So if it shows up, it will get ganked. Also he said the thinks it will probably attack as the storm rolls in over the town.
He gives you a note for a pilot/Guide and a balloon. Says the balloon is in a red roofed warehouse down on the water line, but that you might need help getting it up and onto the plains above. Also says the guy you're looking for is named Anders and is in a house on the third level. He says to offer him a month's paid leave to help you.
Explain to the squid that it will need to find the boat and attack any monsters that come after the boat. Then ask it to use it’s tentacles to help pull itself into the water.

Anagramist: They are able to transmute objects into other objects. This is done by rearranging and/or removing letters from the name of the object. For example, “Keyboard” into a Key, a Boar, an Oak, or a Year. They can only use this power on physical objects they can hold, and the object's name is defined as "Material Object". So "Plastic Keyboard" or something like that.
Take a bullet and put the words TALL CASTLE in my needle using METAL BULLET CASING as the letter source

You now have "Tall Castle" with a [6] in your needle. Make sure to record it as that.
Grey talks with the captain.
"We have determined that a purely magical solution is impractical and so we are ready to assist with whatever strategy you decide to put into action, captain."
Grey relays to the captain what Debby discovered in regards to the rough location of the hammer, how deep it is, and where it is headed.
Grey later examines the rifle-saber through his needle to determine if the saber-bayonet's magic is concentrated in the blade or if it's spread into the rifle as well.
Grey also determines if the Leaden Crown has any small boats attached to it, in case someone has to go out alone.
The captain also mentioned something about a fleet of smaller ships accompanying us earlier? How many are we looking at here?
By the way, I'm not sure I want to ask but where is the teleport conduit?

You tell the captain about the Hammer. He decides that the best course of action would be to position themselves between the storm and the bay and drop their bait there. He gets the ship moving that way.
Magic is stull in the blade, not in the gun.
The Ship does have about a dozen smaller boats connected to it, in addition to about a dozen life boats.
The smaller ships mentioned were the ones on this ship. Least I think thats what was mentioned.
Right now, its in the village. We'll assume in the Boss' office for the moment.
The Leaden Crown moves so that its effectively directly between the now somewhat distant bay and the fast approaching storm. It dumps half its chum containers and then waits. The captain asks anyone who can provide them with better info about whats coming to do so, and everyone else should get ready. There are already giant fish churning in the water around the ship because of the chum. Some of the sailors are firing shingle shots down at them when the break the surface, adding more meat to the expanding pool of gore. After about 10 minutes everyone hears a sort of deep whistling noise and the water appears to get rougher. The storm is still a good few miles off.
