Hmm. I'm hoping to talk a boat to take us down the coast. Take me, at least. I'll ask about sightings, locations. For the mermaids, at least. Not sure I want to meet a sea-monster in a tiny, wooden boat.

I'm also going to ask after any traders in the area. I've heard people talk of a kingdom across the sea, or on an island in it, or something. Perhaps we might find some kind of aid, there, if this land continues to be...well, you've been here longer than I have.

Goddess, trying to learn anything about this world seems nearly impossible some days.
