DAY 41

Well, as research for my opera I decided to go and see 'The Old Man of the Sea' at the opera
house next to the musicians guild. The only person I could think of to take was Lavinia so
I invited her along.
It was a good show and the evening got even better when we got back to the Vanderboren Manor!
It turns out she's had feelings for me for some time and I have been too dull witted to notice.
After a few drinks, things got a little.. well, I'd better stop here unless I say something
that might impinge on my ladies virtue, but suffice to say I got home on the morning of the
next day.

DAY 42

I happened to meet Raz at the gates, who had been at the Gul's Nest, so we crept into the
pie shop together, but we were noticed and given knowing looks by Taeghen and Bullah.

DAY 42 - 55

Over this period I spent more time on my opera, with the help of Morife from the Musician's
Guild who is a jobbing bard and works for a flat rate.

He is a good teacher though and together we have managed to get the first two acts of
the opera pretty much there.

I don't really know what the others have been up to. Shifty has spent a lot of time in
town up to the gods know what. I haven't seen much of Nobby or Raz, but Eriss has made
herself a permanent fixture in the pie shop.

DAY 56

I discovered today what Raz has been up to. He has been working as an enforcer for
one of the pimps at the Gul's Nest! Not only has he earned a few gold coins but
he can have free samples of the merchandise.

DAY 57

Lavinia invited myself, Raz, Shifty and Nobby to the manor to tell us of her next initiative.
She has decided to take the Blue Nixie to a far of island called, pleasantly, the Island
of Dread, and to the colony her parents founded there called Farshore.

Apparently she needs our help though, and another ship. We all instantly thought about
the Sea Wyvern, which we had left anchored in Kraken Cove.

Later that morning I flew over to the cove and confirmed that the ship was still there.

We hired a scratch crew and sailed to Kraken Cove.

DAY 58

Arrived at Kraken Cove. Shifty and Raz decided to go and further loot the caves. I spent
most of the day scouting the bay as a dolphin. Apparently they found all sorts of junk,
but I was interested to hear they found a saurus skull. They didn't invite me to look
at it though which I considered rather rude.

DAY 59

Arrived back at Sasserine and docked the Sea Wyvern next to the Blue Nixie.
Lots of discussion on how our new ship should be loaded for the voyage. Mostly
didn't get anywhere!
