"That's the trouble with pirate captains, Tortetart. No one knows who you are unless you make a name for yourself, then as soon as you sink or get arrested there's another ten captains after you using your ships name, saying they were the ones who took you down. I tried following some rumors, but all I found were three other captains calling their ships The Raving Maiden, none of which had a crew that I knew."

"I figure it's just like my goddess. If anyone survived that fight, they'll find me on their terms... It's been so many years already, I'm not counting on it."

"Both are very fine names! I'm sure that they'd both be honored!" He said with a sincere chuckle. "The offer is still there, remember, but I know that Mishakal has always had a way of getting you through tough times."

Anchors smile faded slightly at Tortetart's question. "No..... Nothing new in that regard. I spent some time visiting temples on the Moonshae Isles, but no one there was any use. I can still sense her presence, though, pushing me where she feels I can do the most good." Anchor caught himself and laughed. "Ha ha! I'm not even sure she's a she. Might just be the old sailor in me. What was it that the bards sang? 'My life, my love, my lady is the sea'"

"Oh! Have you considered Nectar? Why not name it after both brothers at once!" He patted Tortetart on his shell with a smile.

After his short search, Anchor finds Tortetart clearing up his campsite.

"Ah, there you are my friend!" he says, as he begins to help pick up along with Tortetart. "I see that your new traveling companion is doing well. Have you decided on a name for it yet?", motioning towards the donkey.

"I'm sorry if I've overstepped our friendship with this, but I heard from some of the merchants gossiping that the one who sold you the donkey was bragging about how much he sold it for. I won't pry to know how much, but will you be alright to get room and board for yourself once we've reached Nightstone? If not, don't fear to let me know! I still owe you more than I'll ever be able to repay."

Storm King's Thunder

Watching as the signpost for Nightstone passes by, Anchor slowly eases himself off of the roof of one of the sturdier wagons in the convoy, being careful not to put too much weight on his bad leg. It won't be long now until they reach their destination, and he'd like to check in with his friend, Tortetart, to see what his plans are upon arrival. Pulling his pea coat close to brace for the evening chill, more of an acquired habit from his time with humans than any issue with the cold, Anchor sets out.

"A fine day to arrive!", a young man says aloud as Anchor passes by. "They say that half the fun is getting there, but how sweet the other half will be!"

"A fine day indeed!", Anchor replies, in a deep and cheerful voice. "Let us hope that Nightstone is half as welcoming as our compatriots on this journey!"

With a wave, Anchor continues searching for where Tortetart could be.

Storm King's Thunder

Nah, I meant roles. That's where I'm gonna put my healing rolls. When I tank I'll make another board. ::Starts sweating::

Storm King's Thunder

Trying it out.

Storm King's Thunder

Over the past few days of this journey, Anchor has been spending his time volunteering to take watch duty shifts during the night. During the days he's spent his time conversing with a few of his fellow travelers, including his old friend Tortetart.

For those times he's found himself with no one to spend time with, he's found the highest/most easily seen spot in the caravan to keep an eye on the roads. In his travels he's found that the least experienced bandits and highwaymen will steer clear of prey that seems too well protected, and in their eyes a Goliath watching over a caravan is enough to give them pause.

Storm King's Thunder

I think I still have all my starting money, I could chip in to get you a cart. Maybe we picked one up at the caravan stop we met at?

Storm King's Thunder

10 miles doesn't seem too far to me, but with it approaching evening would we expect the caravan to be stopping for the night before we get to Nightstone?

Follow up question: would questions like this go here in ooc, leaving ic to be purely in character, or could we ask stuff like that in parantheses?

Storm King's Thunder

Made a couple minor edits to my character description to mention me knowing Tortetart, and being made aware of Nightstone by the Emerald Enclave.
