EP40: South!

Grip manages to use both his unique mana bending and his piloting skill to lead them safely past the mass of Hulks, making up a formidable navigational hazard.

South the combined crews of the Fellowship and the destroyed ship Zephyr fall into a strong working rhythm. In this state, they manage to salvage and build a seaworthy craft. During this process, the group rescues a young, strong Kuan man named Repelli. He was sent by Lady Livia, along with provisions and Repelli's skills in shipbuilding, to render aid. As the Fellowship is overdue to have returned home, Agrippa approaches Uriah and Ovid demanding answers. Urayah acknowledges the young dragonkin as a kind of lord, telling him about the legacy of his middle name, Dawnsfire. Later, Grip attempts to convince Weisa to go with him to converse with the young dragon Tecpatl. Cooler heads eventually prevail, with Titus going so far as to kneel to Grip while making an impassioned plea for him to stay with the Fellowship. At last, the dawn comes when the stalwart adventures set off for home. Grip manages to use both his unique mana bending and his piloting skill to lead them safely past the mass of Hulks, making up a formidable navigational hazard. Once on open waters, Marcus gathers the Fellowship, declaring his loyalty and support of Titus as their leader. Strong certain words directly after Marcus then asks to function as the field leader of the group during battles, as he sits at the center of the party and has a wider field of vision than Titus, who tends to lead from the front. Titus agrees. Marcus then leads the rest of the Fellowship to formally pledge themselves to Lord Titus, each member expressing a specific sentiment. One night during the journey back, Marcus has a dream of himself back in Juramentum, in a building that does not yet exist. However, his vision is rudely interrupted by an assassin attempting to jam a blade into his throat. Sam. It's sam. Far away. Friends, welcome to season three of Darkeport. Look at us. We're going back to the island, baby. Back to the island. Hell no. I forgot my key, not the future.
