(I've been having trouble sleeping, so I'll be posting a bit early this time. Should be a simple reset to keep things moving. I hope everyone's got clear heads now that they've had a week to rest, here we go.)<br/><br/>-=-=-=-=-[Last Arc: Start]-=-=-=-=-<br/><br/>*The seas would get a little rough on the return journey from the north, a bit of a storm passing through, Nonoke was actually driving the eye of a Hurricane away from them to throw it in the face of that tricky fox Ghistra, but a hurricane being such a large object, she couldn't stop the seas below from churning and giving them a hard time, but the wind would prove perfect for pushing the Devil along at optimal speed.*<br/><br/>*In three days, the ship was able to make the return journey back to the Jade Jungle, from there Yiggy guided Sin through the best route through the Green River delta, the Swamp where Wiska had lived most of her life. The Catfish asked to make a pit stop at her house, mostly to renew some charms but also to collect a very rare and valuable talisman a circular stone with a hole through it, she gave it to Sidon upon returning threading some fine rope through the loop.* "if you look through the hole you can see spirits...but it also lets me know where you are", *The chubby little Shaman hopped up and gave Seydo a peck on the forehead before she returned to her post in the crows nest*, "Belly time later then, once we get into safer waters?" *she'd ask him on the way up*<br/><br/>*Along the deltas main channel boatmen would appear, minor merchants, some of which were even Whiskas species, they called themselves the Vaboo, they were similar to the Aquiron tribe in that they were fish folk, only smaller and more suited to fresh, inland waters, they were exclusively catfish in species, and came in many colors, though they all were commonly plump, some to excessive degrees, there wasn't a skinny one among them. Their wares were simple, mostly artisan crafted or things gathered from the swamp like shrimp or cattails. According to Wiska they were a good source of information, so they should do business with them rather than rob them, plus if they did plunder a Vaboo's wares, they'd shoot into the water and warn all the others upriver about them. Wiska had learned much from her people over the years, but they couldn't answer the big questions, still she learned many survival skills from them that the Spirits hadn't taught her, like knot tying, and shelter crafting, and the weaving of rope, how to make fish traps...ecct. So she had a connection to many of them and knew some by name...they were quite surprised to see her aboard a capital ship, thats for sure.*<br/><br/>*As swamp became flowing river, Yiggy revealed a bit of an upgrade she'd prepared for the Devil, utilizing the steam engine below deck, she'd set up a pair of river wheels at the hips of the ship, like those seen in steamboats, so that they could travel upriver much more efficiently. The Wheels were hidden just behind the upper deck in the sides of the ship, folded up then mechanically unfolded to be used for the crews benefit.*<br/>-<br/><br/>*Jungle would turn to saplings and bushes, and on the second night the jungle would give way to grasslands and hills, Barusa using her light magic to illuminate the area in front of the ship allowed navigation by night. Then on Day four on the river, they came to a small town on the river side, the docks looked to be home to small sized boats and barges belonging to Vaboo...and a new kind of catamaran style boat with stone carved heads at the front and back of the boats, all viewed from a distance via spyglass*, "Whatcha think Capn?", *The angelic Barusa would ask Sin*, "should we make port? Skip the town? Or rob it?*
