BTW, what you wrote about the timing and Serge is completely false. Serge probably mentioned that about five minutes after the boat left. They needed to row all the way back to the harbor, get all the things in the boat, Malakaus needed to jont through town looking for his men, then head all the way back. That definitely took at least an hour. 

People tend to write anachronistically in this RP but that was so many degrees worse.
