<strong>Upon an Unfamiliar Shore<br/>EVERYONE</strong><br/><br/>Those who had survived begin to rise from the dead and the wounded around them as flowers given life by the platinum light of the moons.<strong>Ianna and Callenda</strong>sympathies set them to task tending to those who have washed up among the remains of the Dread Horizon and they learn quickly that while many are alive, they are far beyond saving. Those who seem they will survive are able bodied enough to rise from the sand and the surf and one by one figures of familiar strangers begin to take form within the mild fog that hangs about the shore. While Ianna and Adrian have come upon each other, Callenda and Maron too have found each other alive and breathing. And still, it is possible that there are more survivors scattered across the beach.<br/><br/><strong>Cedric</strong>, immediately at the task of searching for his supplies, is largely disappointed. The lady has spilled herself into the sea, and only the ruined husk of her hull remains, along with lengths of sail that curl and dance in the tide as pale serpents. However, despite the lack of strong iron or curved wood unspoiled by the sea, he comes upon a length of wood which seems quite strong and capable, which could serve as a club should the proper situation arise. He finds, too, a wooden buckler shield floating to shore.<br/><br/><strong>Sae'Ka</strong>picks among the dead, or those close to dead. Any with weapons or armor heavy enough to be of any use can be found at the deep of the abyss, and so the only items of real value she comes upon are a small dagger tucked in the boot of a dead sailor, along with a ruined pistol, which would need a significant degree of repair. There is a small pouch for holding items, though it is necessary to dump the dead woman's useless belongings out into the sand. Amid her search, the Dark Elf comes upon the nude form of<strong>Theresa</strong>sitting alone in the sand.<br/><br/>Some time passes, perhaps a quarter of an hour, while the urgent chaos of waking in a strange place subsides and those who have survived are left with the strange and eerie quiet of this lonely stretch of beach. Those of the flesh and the arcane would notice little strange at first, but those faithful to their gods, such as<strong>Maron and Ianna</strong>, become touched by a supreme sense of isolation, as though they can feel with certainty that they are very, very far away from home.<br/><br/>Then, among the gentle roar of the surf, despite the stale and windless night,<strong> Sae'Ka and Theresa</strong>hear a most pecular sound, snarling and the scratching of claws on wood, from within a splintered portion of the ship's hull that rocks slowly with the tide in the water in front of them. Despite the slight distance,<strong>Adrian's</strong>companion, Fhyl, perks its ears.<br/><br/><em>[cedric obtained a club, buckler shield]<br/>[sae'ka obtained dagger, pouch, broken pistol]</em>
