Talogan was glad to see that the members of his crew he had sent off to acquire better equipment had returned already. As he boarded the Kraken, Talogan watched as Tayang and Kulee engaged in some combat practice. Kulee fought well, but it was clear that he would need some time to get used to his new maul. Meanwhile, Tayang fought with the same amount of skill and competence he always fought with, one of the reasons Talogan had selected him for the role of first mate. Tayang held back his full strength though to keep himself from actually harming Kulee. Talogan nodded approvingly at the constructive criticism Tayang gave Kulee before sending him off to take a breather.

When the first mate called for Derrick, Talogan finally decided to catch Tayang's attention. "Mr. Iron Guts." Talogan said.
"Aye captain, welcome back." Tayang said as he waved Derrick off. "I see that everyone is still alive. Find out anything interesting?"
"We have learned much from our outing." Talogan answered. "But I will explain all in good time. For now, have the crew make ready to set sail. Certain preparations for our assault on the wreck require us to travel elsewhere. Also, I am sure you've noticed the large fleet on the horizon. I am unsure of their intentions, so I wish to err on the side of caution and take our leave before they arrive. I will be charting a course if anyone needs me." With that said, Talogan descended below deck and went to the ship's map room. Upon arriving, Talogan pulled out a map of the Transanic and laid it down on the table. He located Red Shard and then began looking for somewhere nearby that he and his crew would be able to plunder holy water from.
