Ever wanted to see new sights, explore exotic new people and eat wierd
funny fruits?

Ever looked over the horizon and thought your next meal could be over
there?

You may apply then to undertake an exploration trip to the small isles
south of Mysia! I shall be taking a small raft from there on a month
excursion trip! why...at a time like this shall I decide to take this
trip? The truth is I hear they are building ships there! HUGE ships! I
need to see that, so using my arcane date system, I have decided to
embark on this trip from that cosy fishing village first on the 19th of
Chronos 400 AF! . I hope to be back within the month sailing the first
Achaean ship, the wallowing humgii!

do you think you qualify? I am charging a modest fee of 2 million gold
per passenger on my raft, for health and safety reasons. This of course
may make this a solo journey with only squeakers to accompany me!

If say, in the unlikely circumstances I am eaten, captured, stabbed,
hexed, fried, sauteed, or made into a Can o pee by anyone or thing,
Squeakers will carry a small journal of my journey so far and indeed if
I had time what may of happened to me of course, proberably in rushed
handrwriting, but I feel I shall be fine.

I shall be "making my plans" soon!

P.S I of course deny that there is an isle of gold over there, but I I
come back in a ship made of it assume it merely coinicdential
p.p.s I shall miss quite a few of yeh over the space of this month, so I
shall say my quick goodbyes now early to save time! be well Cyrene, you
crazy people, Kuntar, you will be in charge of yarring. Laras, you will
not thwap ANYTHING, except Lyn..because I think she invented a way of
making herself even louder! Mojushai! I want you people to prepare a
wetdock for me, I think it might be hard to sail it in via the lake
murrn but why not give it a go? Yarr.
