The five passengers board the ship carrying their meagre possessions while the crewmen make the ship ready to sail.
Since the ship is obviously preparing to depart an imperial tariff collector comes over to collect the tariff. The amount of the tariff is 5% of the value of all cargo leaving the province of Ilania.
The collector inspects the cargo briefly, determines that it is a load of wool, and assesses its value at eight baylo (about 600 doveko) and asks for payment of 30 doveko as the tariff.

(OOC: Lennand only paid 5 baylo and 19 doveko for the wool. This is equal to about 394 doveko, not the 600 that the tariff taker is assessing it at.)

Lennand went to the collector. "I only paid 394 doveko for this and you know that." He gives the man five doveko. "I believe I owe you 19 devoko."

The tariff taker pockets the five doveko and says, "Oh, I must have been confusing you with someone else. Your tariff is 19 doveko."
After Lennand pays him 19 more doveko as the tariff, the ship is able to depart. Nogolin casts off the mooring lines and all the crew assist in raising the sails. Soon the "Coastal Sun" is leaving Nysarinda behind and heading out to sea again.

Imars sets his sight for the charts, to head north and ferry their guests to their destination. Imars has feelings of destiny in his mind, but he is troubled over whether they are true. He wonders what more he is supposed to do.

(OOC: Actually you didn't even need to do that much, Imars. The gamemasters have just been slow to update this.)
The ship sets sail and in three days makes its way past several islands to Shalthan.

The town of Shalthan is on a point of land along the north side of the mouth of the Frog River. It is lowlying land and the town is surrounded by swamps and the river. The buildings are made of wooden frames with thatched roofs. The provincial garrison's fortress is much sturdier then the rest. It is made of stone like most Imperial fortresses in this area.
The docks are along the river and the Coastal Sun maneuvers its way there and finally finds a place to dock.
"Don't tie up the ship, then we'll have to pay docking fees," Lennand orders, "Just one mooring line to hold us to the dock long enough for the passengers to disembark."
The crewman named Nogolin jumps out and loops a single line of rope around a mooring post and holds it in place without tying it.
Lennand gestures to Rangata and his companions to leave and says to Imars, "Tell them it's time for them to go ashore now. This is Shalthan."
Rangata already seems to understand from the gestures. He and his companions get off the ship. Rangata looks back towards Imars and says, "You could come with us. This quest will change the destiny of the world."
Nogolin pulls the rope free and takes it with him as he clambers aboard ship. A crewman named Tormandana pushes the ship away from the dock with a pole while another one named Elinand helps Nogolin to get aboard.
