Dirty unclean bandits!

They tried to hijack our ship as it made land near to Trinsic. If it hadn't been for the swift actions of the crew in casting off again, I do believe we would all be prisoners right now, or worse. The Captain suggested that we head for the port at New Haven to rearm and repair what little damage we took from those curs trying to board us....not a bad plan as it would give me the chance to invest in some decent armour...all I have at the moment is this dress and it is not exactly the most hardy of materials.

I've been musing over some designs while I've been stuck aboard the ship and I think I've decided on a suit of leather first. Plate would be ideal, though frankly, I don't think I have the gold for a full suit. Along with those musings, I also took up practice with a bow that I was given by one of the crew. It is a rickety old bow and it doesn't feel right not being up front..

My valorian blood curdles at the thought of not being involved in a battle with a sword and shield; Honourably in other words. I know the bow is a nessicary tool and I'll use it from time to time...but it doesn't mean I have to do so without a grudge. Whoever decided that melee combat was a world for a man is in for a very rude awakening.

Also, the Captain suggested that I try and make a few contacts within the port city of New haven...it is supposed to be a fairly bustling little trade port, with a fair range of supplies and adepts of most professions present. I'm thinking...that we should stay for a little while and also give me the chance to brush up a little on my swordplay. Father's teachings were thorough...though I would still hate to be caught unprepared.

The crow's nest reported sighting land, I had best go and prepare...we aren't too far from the docks if land is in sight.
