38.0 - Blockade Boogaloo
Holg is angery at Paritet people due to failed sanity save with Ånd.
Kallista +1 sanity check for rifts
Atani took dream research flyer
Last word on Kallista's sister was that she was heading with a squadron of Enforcers to Riner Ild. Valki, Kallsita's sister. about 5ish years younger than her (kallista's probably around 45ish?) and she's a little spontaneous and fiesty (I would assume that comes with being a tiefling.
Plot points/Scenes
Recap
With Areon providing a distraction (and gifting the Script breastplate), Atani, Kallista, and Kilith began their escape through the Corridors, winding their way through the maze of tunnels and Guards. One guard was slain and provided good incentive for others to flee as the group made their way to the large chamber of the Hole. Having just dropped in to the surprise party going on in the chamber, Holg and Sil'Ferrous find themselves face to face with a Paritet Magister and some Enforcer Guards. Rish and Yasmah take the opportunity to slip by further into the tunnels. Holg's recently acquired rage toward Paritet kicks in full force and he goes all out on the squad, while Sil'Ferrous survives in the corner until Atani, Kallista, and Kilith show up and the last of the opposing squad is encouraged to escape. Their passage to Litsteivon aboard the Blue Brand is scheduled to leave at dawn, but that may need to be expedited.The Plan
Current Day Water Cycle Day 5, Late Evening They arrive at the safe house, and get an attack from Ivory. Rish and Yasmah are gathering some of their things. Rish advises the group if they're going Group grabs their things, everyone leaves out the window, Rish tying off a rope. Board the boat, leave in the night. Aft makes the boat invis, but then needs to immediately lie down; leaves Yasmah in charge of sailing out. Rish: "What? Think I keep him around just for his company?" Long rest is possible after this point. They will probably want to identify the armor at this point.Smooth sailing, wind is strong af. 2 days to the gap between Gulgrennjor and Grewlheyde. So night of Water Cycle Day 7 is the blockade event. It will happen right as Sil'Ferrous wakes up from his rest. So night of Water Cycle Day 7 Sil'Ferrous will have another dream where he meets Bevarelse. What will Bevarelse say? Where are they talking in the dream? What information can he give Sil'Ferrous about the world? Dreaming again? They're getting stronger and more often. I've been called by the dreams too. I do not know what controls them. But it feels like it's trying to tell me something, remind me of something. Right as Bevarelse is about to reveal something is when Sil'Ferrous will get woken up by Aft rounding everyone up. Their path is blocked by a line of ships with chain nets strung between them. If they want to pass they'll need to break at least 3 of the mechanisms holding the chains up. 3 key points to this encounter: Paritet ships, elemental complications, and boat machanics (preferrably hopping). An air elemental, or several or something. Not a rift. But since And is back, it's going to start causing an abnormally early and sharp rise in wind magic. Why wind? Because And has sucked in all the Energy magic, causing a power vaccuum for the opposite magic. There's no other dragon to help balance that out, so more humans would need to do that. If we use air magic, they can use tempests to jump from one ship to another. Maybe if they want to get by the blockade unnoticed, they'll need to sneak onto each ship and undo the chain net locked on each ship. Some of the boats should have Alarm set on them.
arrive in Litsteivon port night of Water Cycle Day 9. Aft reminds them of the task, asks to shake someone's hand about it.

Captain Arvid Stjerne, Blue Brand is the ship going to litsetivon. An older looking sun-tanned elf. scars around his wrists. grey and dark grey hair pulled back into a messy bun, hardly keeping the hair from his face. He's gruff in appearance and speaking, but he himself seems pretty clean and taken care of. He goes by Aft, but rolls can be made for Stjerne and a high history check from peeps in Paritet or Isfeljor home location (just Kallista I think) will recognize that as the surname of the Representative Leader of Lyston, and by extension all of Isfeljor—Venleth Stjerne. Stjerne is Brandt Stjerne's father and Venleth's brother. He was disposed by his son with the help of Venleth, who puppets Brandt. He was framed for the murder of the previous representative of Hvithavon, and it was Rish and Yasmah who helped him escape the city. Now, he's a gruff smuggler transporting stolen and pilfered riches to those less fortunate.

Aft's statblock can be based on Laeral Silverhand
I need:
- rough "battle" map
- enemy stat blocks
- Ivory stat block
- Rish stat block
- Yasmah stat block
In the morning of Water Cycle Day 5, they hunted down the Blue Brand and its captain, Stjerne, to arrange passage. Passage was granted—it sets sail for Litsteivon at dawn on the 6th—on 3 conditions: one, they pay 200 gold. AH, don't complain, that's not even half what your total bounty is. Two, they deny they were ever on this ship if they are caught leaving it the night they dock (sneaking out of false storage areas). And three, assuming they aren't arrested or killed, they send a message to Registrar Adrona Boldstar that her sugarcane is ready for pickup.
