How long is the voyage from Cape Tolya to our destination and how far along are we on it?

I think we are only 2 1/2 kegs into a 7 keg trip

Dylan reads the book on K'Thow history/customs most of the time he can.  Prefer reading in pitch blackness, as the light on the white pages gives him a headache.   He'll find a closet/store room where it's dark to read.  He's not anti-social about it, but is very happy to absorb knowledge.

Assuming 160 miles per day, if you were proceeding directly to Olan, it would take about two weeks. This is day 1

Ruby also spent a very small amount of coin on appropriate sailing attire while in Cape Tolya.  She sells the red dress that she wore to the event now that everyone has seen her in that.  She comments that Lyri says wearing a different dress to each event makes a better impression.

Your first night aboard is not restful. The crew works in three shifts and while not raucous it’s not quiet either. When you take the deck the next morning there is nothing but empty ocean in all directions. You can see the two closest frigates with the naked eye and the next pair with a spyglass. Tessa and Tadren have attached a huge kite to the stern and take turns riding it aloft. The captain has allowed it today as you are still in waters technically under Icefian control.  Nisoru leads sword instruction for the marines (there are twenty of them) and prayer before the midday meal. There are two chaplains aboard, one a cleric of Stasis the other of Lakius. Both are clearly intimidated by Nisoru.

The crew is roughly 80% human (and supermajority of that Icefian) and most of the remainder are half elves, with a few elves mixed in. The exceptions are a senior marine NCO, named Fortas, a Vass; the ship’s navigator Gaudio, a Nipit; Gullen the master of the artillery, a Plateau Gnome (who is very excited by Lord Tadren and Tessa’s presence) and his apprentice Ruben, a Goblin.

Dylan asks Nisoru " What is the point of the other ships, if Other families want to get involved, why don't we do something else? seems pointless for a army of young nobles and princes to descend on Kthow.. "

(I posted this last night but for some reason it’s gone)

He responds: Diplomacy builds trust and peace; both of which have been absent for a long time. The embassy should be about 70 people when all is done so five ships is appropriate, and safer. As for the two ships that have tagged along I mean to find out what their purpose is. Don’t worry, there will be plenty for you to do, and you are a follower of the Lady of Learning, so this is essentially a pilgrimage for you.

Please show some respect when addressing Grand Master Metakae.  Godric shoots Dylan a nasty look, but all you see is his head turn.
