## Scenes

* Pit is invited by his magic professor and hopeless romantic, Solarin, to his summer home.
	+ Pit arrives with his fae golden lab, Lora. He is enlisted to find how magic is used in other lands outside of Faulton.
	+ Additionally, he is to clandestinely investigate a dunamantic anomaly. There could be more than one, but the only one they know of is in Omna.
	+ Solarin also gives him 600 gold and a letter for a Miss Maisel at the bar The Last Dregs
	+ Pit also presents the gift he received from his love, Jenny: a Talian Wayfinder. It looks like a rustic golden compass with zodiac runes and a feature that provides answers. If the user states a nearby person’s star sign and shakes the compass, it will point in the “most interesting direction.”
	+ Pit’s mission should last about a year.
* Hamlet arrives at Seacrest by train.
	+ While helping his horse, Ophelia, exit the train, he runs into a woman, Daphne, trying to convince her friend, Delara, to stop praying and come home.
	+ The praying woman and former concubine, Delara, informs Hamlet that she learned about Thane’s light through General Hamlet’s guidance 2 months ago and that he was leaving on the ship The Bounty Hunter.
	+ The 3 of them make their way to The Last Dregs.
* Tealo searches for answers in the Seacrest blacksmith shop recommended to him- Two Guys and a Hammer.
	+ Requesting a more private space, they move to a side room to continue their business.
	+ The gold dragonborn shop owner, Artery, finally opens the mechanism in Tealo’s sword after being paid 15 gold.
	+ Green gas billows out of the mechanism and turns into the shape of his masked master who informs him of several things:
		- These messages are to further his training
		- She is the culprit responsible for burning down the Order of Secret
		- She was placed in the Order of Secret as a spy for the Order of Lumis, a “way of truth and only truth; truth for all”
		- She enlists him to find her in Omna
		- Lastly, she informs him to “take care of” anyone who might have also heard this message
	+ Artery immediately hands the gold back to Tealo and hurries him out of his shop
	+ Upon final recommendation, he makes his way to The Last Dregs to find passage to Omna, pirate ship or not.
* Anya walks into the rowdy, pirate-filled bar, The Last Dregs
	+ She immediately sees a pirate, Captain Damien Graves, laughing and chatting with his men
	+ She sits at the bar as is met by the bartender, a Talian woman named Miss Maisel. They share a short reunion before Anya asks for a way for passage back to Kurcoza.
* Evelyn, under the pseudonym Captain Adrienne Longfellow, swaggers into the bar followed by a half-elf woman with a large crossbow, Triss Darkenwell
	+ She greets Miss Maisel warmly and gives Anya a once over before getting acquainted
	+ Butting into the conversation, a flamboyant aristocratic half-elf, Viscount Hamich Hartford, of the Hartford Hartfords, also asks for passage on Evelyn’s ship, *The Moon Wisp* back to his homeland, Omna
	+ The Viscount is followed by a Drow servent, Atten
	+ As payment, he’s willing to bring her in on the trade scheme he’s pulling: selling Faulton materials back home for inflated profit
	+ Cpt. Graves plays pirate dice against Evelyn in order to secure the deal with Hamich.
* Hamlet, Tealo, and Pit all enter The Last Dregs as they watch Evelyn secure the deal with Hamich
	+ Simultaneously:
		- Tealo pledges his support for Evelyn, to which she offers him transport to wherever he pleases
		- Pit gives the letter to Miss Maisel
		- Hamlet loudly proclaims the words “*Bounty Hunter*” in a scatter shot effort to find more information on where his father might be.
	+ Cpt. Graves informs Hamlet that *The Bounty Hunter* is his ship and that he gave General Hamlet Brandt passage to Omna 2 months ago. Moreover, he’ll never give another Hamlet passage again.
	+ Evelyn offers passage for Hamlet, though they turn it down
	+ Evelyn wins the pirate’s dice game and secure’s the 60-40 deal with Hamich while Cpt. Graves leaves
	+ Pit offers up 400 of the 750 gold that Evelyn needs for ship repairs in return for passage around the world; Tealo offers up 15 gold and his hand at helping with the ship; Anya offers up 50 gold and her skills
	+ Miss Maisel attempts to prod Hamlet into taking passage from Evelyn. Feeling the pressure mounting, Hamlet prays to Thane and asks where he is to go. Their face for merely a flash changes to Evelyn’s and then back to normal. Hamlet quickly pulls his hood over his head to hide, but not before it could be noticed by Pit and Anya. They finally cave and offer their 5 gold and work. All agreed to head to Omna
* Evelyn and her new crew prepare for the trip while the ship is repaired
	+ Hamlet readies Ophelia and vents to her about his frustrations. They read in their book that the Omna play style is all about sacrificing pawns in order to open up spaces for pawns
	+ Tealo buys a whetstone, a blanket, citrus-based drinks, foods that will remind him of home, and a paper and quill for 50 silver. He also requests a place on the ship at night for some privacy to play his lute
	+ Anya asks Miss Maisel for a drink and a space to sharpen her short swords. An ex-pirate’s child named Dalton marvels at her swords before being dragged away by his mother. An old woman is playing cards with magic and asks Anya if she’d like a card reading for 5 silver. It goes as follows:
		- Second Air Reversed
			* Suggests she’s refusing to see the obvious truth of a matter.
		- Seventh Air Upright
			* The answer you seek is within the question you ask.
		- Fifth of Air Upright
			* It is time to use your strengths to their best advantage to change the situation.
	+ Evelyn goes around to her contacts all over and finds out Captain Bloodweaver is possibly talking with pirates of other nations; She makes 150 gold and repays Treacle, plus 25 gold interest
* The next day, the new crew of *The Moon Wisp* sets sail on favorable winds, keeping them ahead of schedule over the next week.
	+ Most everyone tends to their duties well, though Tealo has some learning to do
	+ Hamlet mistakenly goes up to the crows nest for rigging work only to be met with the wild and territorial Jeth, a Tabaxi with little patience for those in his crow’s nest.
	+ Hamlet trips from the scare and falls all the way down to Tealo who catches them.
* Another week passed and the evening of the Blue Moon arrived, much to the delight of the pirates.
	+ The sun starts to set when a table is brought out and Evelyn addresses her crew and offers a blessing for Selûne, goddess of the sea and moon.
	+ The pirates give their offerings to the sea and then frantically scatter around the ship to find all the roses.
	+ Triss Darkenwell comes to comfort an uncomfortable Hamlet who vents about feeling out of place and his late mother.
	+ The new crew take a moment to enjoy and watch or get into the spirit of things, like Anya, who runs around looking for roses.
	+ Tealo finds a space for himself at the bow of his ship where he practices with his sword and thinks of his master. He cuts his hand and lets it drip into the water.
* As the ship sails through the night, another ship rises from the water as it’s captain says “Well, I finally found her”
