ty all :)

You look down. Your feet sit there, as useful as ever. Your arms are the steady, practiced hands of a surgeon. Two questions that Mick will have to answer: Are Brune's hands still blood-red, and does he have a heart?

Alex's figure appears surrounded by the other figure - pale, fleshy, and toothy. It struggles around their form, as you've seen in the past. Not much has changed. The boat looks the same, but the water around it takes on a shimmering green quality.

You pass the goggles to Brune. They glint green in the sunlight.

@AncientSwordRage You don't see one. It may be a bucket sort of situation.

You step off the latter into the boat, your weight causing the boat to rock back and forth. There's a small amount of water in the boat, so your shoes get a little wet. The fuel gauge shows about half full.

You'll have to climb down the ladder and then get in.

So who's actually getting in the boat and inspecting its various parts? :)

There may once have been something, but it's too scratched and faded to tell for certain.

@Ginger Nill.

@AncientSwordRage You would have found this out when doing research over the past few weeks; any authorities related to the docks are only concerned with the industrial shipping and fishing boats. Nobody cares about the smaller craft - they basically come and go as they please.

@Sciborg Most of the boat is covered by black tarps. The hull of the ferry is painted white, and looks like it's regularly maintained. The name is painted in a dark color that on closer inspection seems to be a dark green. There's very little else to go on at the moment.

She picks up the hammer again and resumes her work. Bang, bang, bang, bang....

"Those schoolin' idiots are the only ones going out for fun. You must've spent too much time with 'em. Stay 'way from the island. Too many rocks. Only those people -" she jerks a thumb at the ferry - "get through. Must've made a deal with old Jones. Everyone else 'ventually ends up on the bottom. Also don't get caught by the fog."

"'s for transportin' stuff. Not many folks takin' joyrides 'round here. Whassa problem with yer boat?"

"Could be. Depends who's askin'."

@Sciborg As you approach, the figure resolves itself into a burly woman, hammering nails into the boat to keep the new bench in place. She doesn't look particularly familiar. She sets the hammer down and raises an eyebrow as you wheel over, but doesn't say anything.

Nothing from this distance strikes you as familiar.

Regular success. You've caught the attention of one person who seems to be working on their boat, moored a little ways over; they glance over in your direction every couple minutes while apparently swapping out a wooden bench. Nobody else immediately catches your attention as paying you any notice.

@Sciborg Make a Spot Hidden check. Different levels of success will grant different results.

@AncientSwordRage "Not it."

"Like, for everyone to get on and stay above the water? Probably the boat."

"Yeah, so before taking it on any night trips it might be a good idea to take it for a test drive, or whatever you say about boats."

Kiko looks a bit skeptical at the prospect. "In the dark? When you've never been there in person before, just relying on dreams? Sounds like quite the risk."

(170 hours, give or take - Wednesday night, one week from now)

@bobble There appears to be one sailboat - it stands out, since the wind around here tends to be upredictable, and so sailboats aren't very common. The university logo would presumably be on the sail, but it's currently furled.

@Sciborg In this area, on the opposite side as the industrial sections, it's mostly smaller boats; you see a smattering of motorboats of varying sizes, a few obviously unkept and dirty. There's one larger boat docked there as well, a clean, white, double-decker boat that looks like it could be a ferry of some sort. The name emblazoned on it says "The Elephant's Trunk".

A little ways down the dock, you find a section that extends out a bit in the water, with the boats bobbing just under the surface of the dock. You could probably tie the boat up here and then either carry Brune + chair (together or separately) onto the boat, or try to set up some sort of ramp.

The Grasping Arm bobs below, still tied up.

Those are a little harder to just pour and swallow.

@Sciborg You'll have to go a ways down to find a ramp. Someone may have to bring the boat over there as well.

It's early afternoon on Wednesday.

Our story picks up as the party purchases a boat, briefly encountering a representative of the city's criminal element, and Brune makes an emotional decision.

\o

night!

little quirks of the system that trip even me up sometimes ;)
