Lili'fey's womb flashes a little.  "Shadow things?" Annorus asks.  He is audible to everyone, but only barely.  "I've seen those on Drasz.  They attempted to come after me.  I managed to beat them back but I was captured by that spirit you saved me from.  When I mentioned them inside him, he knew nothing about them, or so he claimed."<br/><br/>The rest of the town is completely empty, and the boat is still not yet there.  All you see is a lack of live fish in the bay.  There are a few fish, but they are the catches displayed for sale and most of them smell funny.  The only ones that don't smell are the ones being pickled in brine.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, on the ship, dinner is being served: one hard biscuit, a few thin slices of pickled herring, and an apple, all served with a cup of stale water.  There was more, but some of the sailors had brought some cheap brandy on board the ship and last night... a few things went bad.  No-one was sent to the brig (given the crew you've seen, it's likely no-one could be spared) but the 'cook' was relieved of duty and everyone's meals suddenly became a lot lighter.  Both Mio and Phionna have their meager meals delivered by crew members, Mio with an apology and Phionna with a nervous glance at her stomach and a quick exit.
