The journey south was somewhat uneventful, baring Zouyu asking Kaldora whether Ashara had a breeding partner. Kaldora refused to be touched by any embarrassment by the question, but sadly was unable to provide an answer other than [color=Crimson]“Not that I am aware.”[/color] Their journey took them down towards the seaside which gave them a nice view of a whole bunch of massive crabs littering the beaches. [color=Crimson]“I did not realize how close we were to the ocean. Seafood could be a useful addition to our stocks. Perhaps we can move some of the sea beasts out here and use them to hunt things further out? If these crabs can grow this big I wonder how rich the rest of the ocean life is.”[/color] “Ye remember how hard they were to get in there in the first place?” Arthanar replied, clearly dreading the prospect [color=Crimson]“It’s not nearly as far this time. But yes, it could be quite the pain. And we’d need a ship to really get the best of the Ocean”[/color] Kaldora said, right as one came into view. Sadly the sea vessel that Zouyu had spotted had seen far better days and was now a wreck on the beach. Zouya immediately showed interest in looting the vessel for valuables to impress Rodias, before remembering that they were predominantly there for food. [color=Crimson]“Well our lord didn't really say what he explicitly desired out of this expedition. [i]We’re[/i] here for animal feed of course, but it would be a shame not to look into this. Right?”[/color] Kaldora replied, clearly just as intrigued by the prospect of booty, before glancing back at her associates and gauging their own interest. “Could be a cargo vessel. Be a shame not to check the holds for anything useful and there might be food onboard” one said, before a more morally conscious vampire asked “I wonder if there's any survivors?” [color=Crimson]“oh yes. That is a good point, where [i]are[/i] the crew?”[/color] she wondered “Hiding?” thought one “Might be really old wreck?” suggested the herbalist [color=Crimson]“Only one way to find out isn't there,”[/color] Kaldora said as she dismounted, clearly excited to get involved in a bit of adventure and mystery. She checked her weapons, called over three Skink Hounds as an escort and stepped towards the beach. A number of vampires followed after her, also on foot, as she cast [color=Crimson]“[Aura of Docility]”[/color], causing a shimmering hazy field spread out in a circle around her. [color=Crimson]“Come along Zouyu. This aura of mine should guarantee these crabs don't get prickly about us moving through them. Not that they looked like they’d get mad anyway, but it's always good to be safe. Just make sure you don't hurt any of them or it’ll break the effect.”[/color] she explained both to the were tiger and to her own associates as she began to walk through the field of crustaceans, her hands outstretched to either side with palms up as if toward the beast away. The hound and vampires followed after her, carefully picking their way through sea of crabs without disturbing them. The rest of the vampires, along with Arthanar, stayed up and mound on the dry land where they could use most of their powerful riding related skills to mount a rescue in case anything went wrong.
