During those extended 5 days Valdis talks with Amare, Nathan and the rest of the officers. He has an idea to help with the defense of the ship in the event we are boarded. He purchases ten 20gp semi-precious gems and turns them into Power Stones (he can do one a day, so only 5 will be ready by the time we leave. He can do the rest out at sea). In each gem he will put an Astral Construct that either he or Egndel can activate if needed. He will have the carpenters fashion small recesses in the wall/railing on the main deck of the ship, evenly spaced on both the Port and Starboard sides.
