“Hey, while i was laying there in the sand for a bit, i couldnt help but overhear you talking to someone else. i dont recognize the voice, but there doesnt seem to be anyone else here.”
The raven caws, and flutters over to the crates. Perching itself on it.
“Oh, hey there little fella”
he slowly approaches the raven, reaching out ever slowly towards it
It tilts its head, and flutters slowly into the forest, should you follow it?
“I don’t know, but it was apparently a native who doesn’t like White Men like me. Do you want this sword?”
“Ooh! Maybe it knows where a source of water is!”
“Huh? Oh. uh, sure”
he grabs the sword and rushes off after the raven
Ding! You have equipped the sword! Shame theres no place to hold it other than your hand
They raven goes through the forest, Marcus following behind it. Soon it perches itself on a tree, overhanging an abandoned ancient temple.
((you guys ever make a sound thats a combination of oof and ugh and also kinda hoo, as in hoo boy thats sort of fear/admiration/second-hang embarassment? well im going to write that as oogh))
Oogh, that totally doesnt look creepy, he thinks.
Maybe we can use it for shelter??..
he creeps toward the temple’s entrance
It had a haunting atmosphere, as if “you probably shouldn’t fucking go in it” as it gets.
There were symbols inscribed on it
“eeeuuhh, maybe its best if i come back with the others. yeah, the others. ill come back with the others…”
“those symbols might mean something though. ill talk to them about it”
he tries to memorize the symbols as best as he can, and heads back to camp as quickly as he can without looking like hes running from something. because he totally isnt running from something, haha
The raven follows Marcus, leading him back to the wreck.
Crawford awakes from his sand nap
“What in bloody hell happened?” Crawford stands as his older body aches. He looks around for any nearby sailors, or people in general
Only Magnus remains in the sand. Jackson is standing around.
/examine the ship checking out the damage, seeing if it’s any bit fixable
Its fucked mate
marcus arrives back soon after crawford wakes
“Hey you. You’re finally awake.”
You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
(also, you can have your actions like Crawford examines the ship, to see if its fixable jsyk)
“Yeah that thing seems fucked. No way we are repairing that thing easily.” Crawford seems heavily pissed and starts pacing back and forth
“Whats on your mind?”
“My mind… that I gave up the normal life, to try and go sailing and the first time out this shit sinks. What are the odds.”
