Expedition
The Iron Wolves travel to Zhalvazho and do a small extermination job on the way.
The Iron Wolves, after all of their trials, decided to take up Admiral Hall's offer to work as hired mercenaries within Xhalvaxho. They would be headed to the wild lands to the north of the Ocean of Aber. Leaving the morning after Captain Ira Doga's trial finished, the Iron Wolves spent the next month at sea. The time was spent in training, relaxation, and bonding. Pranks were had from getting Lyle drunkenly tied to the mast in the crows nest to Daniel troubling Kain's concerns of his psionic capability while in close military proximity and limit freedom. Aside from the fun though, much of everyone's time was spent on practices and activities they had prepared before the journey
Zeran's personal downtime was spent in puzzles. A majority of it was practicing with his newly acquire lockpicking tools trying to figure out the basics of the craft on two locks he had purchased for the journey. The rest of it was in comraderie and dice with the other sailors. Kain, too, worked with the sailors but not on their downtime. Kain took full advantage of this voyage to better learn the art of the naval vessel. While Kain was above deck in the salt, spray, and wind, Daniel was below deck, developing a pair of miniature printing presses to expedite their card crafting. The rest of the illusionist's time was spent in creating the glammered special cards for their packs. Deeper down than Daniel was Lyle, spending the bulk of his time amid ocean life in ocean forms. Over the course of the month, growing in tune with the currents of the ocean. Eventually, these pulls brought him down low, into the darks beyond the sun's touch. Down their, he found contact with The Dancer on Currents as she introduced him to one of her pets. While she was an archfey of abiotic nature, her pet could barely be described as living. Lyle looked upon miles of twisted tendrils, ribboned and microscopically barbed. The mess of strands had caught within it whole sea turtles. Above the waters, Gregor also attempted to contact a higher power. Practicing the coldwork of smithing, he began to rig-up a means of using his shield despite missing his arm. Outside of this, he spent time in mediation with Zeran to better understand his astral projections.
