Fortune struck!
While I was able to secure a suit of battered ring-mail and a shield to use, we also managed to start repairs on the ship...while I have no doubts that it will be repaired eventually, it is still an expense that I do not need on my meagre purse. The Captain was the first to admit that we would be here for anywhere up to a tenday, while the carpenters saw to our beleaguered vessel.
At first glance, perhaps not so fortunate right?
Well, after speaking with the local armsman at the established fort here, I was sent out on an errand to put some of the skeletons that still haunt old haven to rest. Not glorious work, that's for sure...though it needs to be done. My good fortune came when I happened upon a fair-graced woman by the name of Minerva....she was apparantly some kind of leather worker, because she gave me a suit of fine red leather armour to replace the battered ring-mail I had been using. Who was I to complain?
This leather was in fine taste and masterfully worked to boot. At the very least, I will be protected until I can get my hands on a proper suit of full plate mail. The warrior blood raging in my veins demands no less than the very best when it comes to knightly combat.
What is doubly interesting is that I was given a book of runes as well. I'm not entirely sure where they all lead yet, or whether I'll be able to course the magic stored within them to life....we will see though.
It is a shame that the moon has since moved out of alignment, as it would have been so much simpler to take a moongate to Trinsic instead of a ship. Thiough, deep down, I think I'm enjoying my naval experiences, rocky as they are.
Oh well. Time for more writing later, I have skeletons to chase away.
