They are sailing to an island called Kol (in Alzar’s day, it’s off the Isle of Dawn). They’ll be at sea for a few days, and arrive within a week. Alzar switches to his water-friendly equipment.

The Deltara is a galley and sailing ship combo, since it was just a merchant vessel. Crew of 90 men.

That evening the Deltara comes in sight of a low rocky islet that’s about 50’ across and 300’ away. By the islet are what look like harpies and they are beginning a song. Alzar detects something else though and tries to control it. It’s undead, not harpies. It’s a vision showing the death f sailors here. Broken from the spell, Alzar moves over and pulls the ship away before it can land while everyone else is engaged with the vision.

Alzar flies over to the islet and searches and finds the ship that crashed here, and pulls out the body of the undead Vision and buries it under a small cairn he erects. That’ll end the Vision. He also finds….

Ring of Water Walking


The next day, there is a small hill of grasslands with small patches of woodlands about three miles across. Alzar heads over to check things over, and there are two Cyclopes that live on the island with about 75 giant sheep. Alzar has the vessel bend around it, and then they steer clear of any potential danger.

At dusk the next night, the ship is attacked by a large sailing ship manning by shadows that rounded a bend. The ship is made of shadow stuff as well. Alzar controls some shadow sand has them attack each other, and then controls a few more, and soon enough the ship is under attack by some many shadows that their own ship passes by, unmenaced.
