"Dung? Everyone knows dragon urine is much more valuable. I know my way around drakes though, have no fear Ralf. I would show you the burn scars, but that loa healed them. How convenient."

He put his hands to his sides, his eyes already on the lookout for dragons or other noteworthy sights. Turning to his companions, he noted the enchantments he had created on their voyage.

"Now, Ralf, I don't think I ever explained to you exactly what your shield does. Put simply, the face of the shield absorbs any energy that is directed toward it. For practicality's sake I made it efficient at absorbing kinetic energy, but less so than other forms. You wouldn't want your shield to freeze an area by absorbing all the heat in the area, would you! The best part is that the shield stores all the energy it absorbs withing itself, and can release that energy onto whatever it strikes (or strikes it) when you say the a certain code word. I picked the Asgeirian word for YIELD , I take you know it?"

He turned then to Max, who stood gripping the railing to Hirhan's right.

"As for you Max, your sword has been granted a rather unique enchantment. It will cut through magical barriers and wards like a knife through butter. This includes things like magically enhanced dragon scale, making the utility of such a blade wide indeed. I did add one loophole, an exception if you would. The properties of the blade will not have any affect on my wards. This will allow me to cast defensive barriers in-front of or around you without having to worry about you destroying them inadvertently. The enchantment won't turn off, after all."

"Leiron, your spear's enchantment was something of an afterthought, my apologies. I only had so many reagents left after the creation of Max's sword and Ralf's shield, so a simple utility enchantment was all I could manage for now. Whenever your spear is thrown it will immediately fly back into your hand after it finishes penetrating it's target. I left a few transmutional loci open, however, so I will be able to improve it substantially once I find the right reagents. Finally, as you all know, I have placed a minor enchantment on each of your belts. Since they are all rather mundane, it was the most the material could manage. Upon contact with water each of the belts will increase it's buoyancy, allowing you to float easily even if you are wearing full armor. Probably won't be of much help inland, but you never know."

Turning back to the sea, Hirhan smiled as he breathed in the salty sea air.

"I'm looking forward to this."

"Not much, I'd have to do a seance." Rani waved as Leiron left. "Are we to make a camp then?"

Ranijarashi gave the hunting knife back to Ralf, "Tank ya for letting me use it, I hope it still works well for what ya use it for."

Rani felt comfort in seeing jungle on this part of the island, reminded her of home, though it would be different from the jungle she knew. She'd start collecting wood for the fire they'd need for the night.

Most of the ship's crew had stayed on board to rest with some staying on watch looking for any dragons, the only ones they were able to see were dots on the skyline and rarely their ship is visible when they come close enough.

The crewman on the stern mast's crows nest called out, "There's somethin' in the water behind the ship!"

One crew peered off the back of the boat and looked straight down, "RUN IT'S A DRALLIGATOR AND SHE'S GOING FOR OUR RUDDER!" That crew member effectively panicked and ran for his life onto land.

The beast grabbed the lower rear of the ship (where the rudder would be and it was completely crushed and splintered beyond repair) with it's massive black talons and paw it had crushed a hole into the ship and was now dragging it back to the open ocean where it could sink.

((BTW you guys landed on the eastern shore))

"Gah! Dat ting took our ship!" Rani dropped the wood she was collecting to make fire and screamed as she witnessed the Salty Seadog get dragged to the bottom of the ocean. "How we gonna get back to da main land!?!"

Sparrow dove off the front of the ship and swam to shore vigorously. When he made it to shore he threw his soaking we hat in the sand and let loose a string of curses only a sailor could spit out. "How the hell are we going to make it back!?"

"Not sure we should we worrying how to get off just yet," Ralf answered Sparrow. "Besides, dragons fly, don't they." Ralf intended for the last bit to be something of a joke, though the idea that the dragons could fly them back wasn't entirely out of the question.

Hirhan's boots sunk into the muddy water of the shore, sending plumes of detritus where they landed. As the ship behind the party was attacked, Hirhan began to slosh though the water with wild abandon until he reached the shore. Poor souls, all of them. They made camp on the shoreline, and Ralf went to fetch some fish.

"A species of tuna, I believe" Hirhan said as Ralf heaved the net of fish. "Nothing special really, though they are rather healthy for you if my memory serves correctly."

He would go on to the rear of the camp to set up the tents. Setting up a tent by oneself is usually rather difficult, but with magic the process becomes exceptionally easy. In moments Hirhan had three tents set up by the firepit in a semicircle. His activities would then be interrupted by Rani's shout, and he would turn to see the fire pit burst into a column of flame.

"BLAZING BIRDS!" The wizard would shout, instinctively casting a minor ward around his body in reaction to the flame. As Rani ran to the ocean he would chase after her.

"Rani, are you okay? Dear, let me have a look at that burn."

Ralf kept a wary eye on Engara, watching his every move. He had developed a slight distaste for the kid and his monkey friend a. At the moment, however, Engara was seemingly trying to mend the wounds he had formed with the group by helping out. Ralf was concerned for Rani, but with Hirhan checking up on her he was somewhat calmed down and decided to talk to Engara, the newest addition to the group.

"Why don't you have a seat, kid," Ralf said rather bluntly, taking a seat by the calmed fire. He pulled the bucket of fish next to him, and then drew his knife Rani returned earlier. "What's your game? You and your monkey friend here? What is it you've come to this island for?" Ralf pulled one of the live fish from the bucket and laid it down flat on his lap. He dug the knife near its head, separating the spine from the fillet he intended to carve out.
