After the ambush, the group tied the lone survivor to the back of a horse to be turned in to the Myzopodis authorities. Diana refused to take a health potion and revealed that she needed blood samples to create the health potions for the team to consume claiming her potions were unique. Without much further questioning the took the reigns and were on their way. Reno had fallen into a deep sleep during their travels but Diana claimed this must be normal for someone of his caliper. Diana kept a close eye on him during their travels and consistently checked his vitals to make sure he was ok.
It was a few more days together until the team managed to reach the port city. Here they were welcomed to streets filled with heavy military presence. It was almost intimidating but they kept their calm and cool. Reaching the main docks, Diana excused herself from the group to speak with the Captain in private and allowed them to walk onto the ship that they would be on. While Reno was carried from the carriage and brought onto the ship below.
Gidget shared her slight fear of being out on the seas while the others proclaimed how Winston wasn't going to be sailing the ship in any fashion. Ryver was busted by Gaius which prompted him to run up to Gidget and touch her all over her body. He was very grabby which caused Gidget to respond by grabbing his wrist. He continued examining her body before she shook him away from her. Ryver telepathically linked to Gidget and he asked her a few questions sharing that he two was a half like creature. He guided the party onto the Mad Hatter and welcomed them to The Aces.
On the main deck of the ship were three other members of the "privateer" crew. Deino Jormun, Temple, and Natsuru. They each welcomed the party in their own unique ways, some a little more friendlier than others. After showing off his centipedes, Temple questioned any dietary restrictions amongst the party. Gidget shared that she was pescatarian and primarily didn't eat much meat aside from fish or sometimes chicken. This caused Ryver to puff up and reveal his full fishy appearance. Gidget apologized and Temple told Ryver to calm down.
Captain Heartless and Diana returned from their little debriefing. Heartless started giving directions towards the crew while Diana pulled her team aside to fill them in. She informed the group that there were soldiers ship heading towards the same direction but it was best to remain in the care of the "privateers". The soldiers ships were going to be more likely attacked than this vessel. However, with that being said, the crew recently underwent an ambush. One of the individuals they rescued was kidnapped again causing the attack to occur. The person was rescued and remains now as a crew member of the ship. This potentially could lead to another attack, but assured the team that they were going to be in good hands. She informed the group that this was going to be their last time on land for a while and to make the most of it by getting some food. It was revealed at this time that Diana also had a slight fear of sailing on the ship and she was going to use them for support to get through this. Giaus assured her that everything was going to be ok calling her Delthea, with Edmund emphasizing Diana's name as a reminder to Giaus.
Ryver, coming out of nowhere, touched Diana in the same fashion as he did with Gidget. He then wanted to impress her by grabbing her arm and escorting her off the boat. The rest followed with Deino joining them. They made their was to the The Cursed Blade where they would drink and eat. Here is where Diana questioned how familiar they were with formal introductions. Edmund spoke up and explained that he understood the necessary phrasing required for their arrival. To which Diana informed that he would need to introduce Winston in the same fashion as well representing the house of Constantine. Winston, in his devil lettuce state, spoke on his nobility status and his experiences with ships.
It was explained to the group that upon their arrival to Kawit they would be docking in an area that they needed to be prepared to see. the area would be heavy in military presence and their presence alone wasn't going to help the situation at all. Diana explained that they needed to prepare themselves for the sites that they were going to see. They also needed to prepare themselves for Walden Stein, who was deemed to be a brute of a man. He was the current noble running the affairs within the grounds that they were heading to.
After some meals they turned in to sleep on the ship. Both Gaius and Diana did not sleep the night. Diana got up early to follow instructions from Heartless with the others rudely being woken by Ryver shortly after telepathically. The team got ready and were handed various items to pitch in around the ship. In exchange for the taxi, they were to help around the ship in any way. Gaius's stomach wasn't sitting pretty causing him to follow Deino's and Temple's instructions. He leaned over the side of the ship where he noticed killer whales.
Ryver jumped into the water to swim with the whales and to try and impress Diana once more. However, the whale bucked him and several other creatures landed on the deck of the ship. Sirens started making a scene while the ship was attacked by the whales. Temple transformed into a whale and managed to stop the whales from making anymore holes in the ship. Ryver took on a more sinister looking form, much like the sirens on the deck, and dragged Diana into the water but Temple scooped them up. The team fell under a siren's song, giant centipedes attacked the fish creatures, Winston fixed the holes, and more.
The battle came to an end with Diana safe on deck and a few sirens making their escape. The Aces and their new friends had saved the day.
