Difference between revisions of "Rysn Ftori"

Rysn began to gain respect by handling successive 'omens' which appeared and troubled her crew. First, when the ship's grain was found to be infested, she consulted her notes from Vstim and directed the captain to trade with nearby [[Hexi]] nomads. They accepted the bad grain in exchange for jerky, saving the expedition's food stores. Later, when a [[santhid]] corpse washed up to the ship, she spun the arrival as a good omen and offered the crew a chance to rest ashore to pay respects to the greatshell.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{book ref|sa3.5|8}} During the rest stop, Rushu experimented with Rysn's chair and aluminum-modified fabrials discovered by Huio, leading to the creation of a prototype levitating chair. Rysn also received a spanreed communication from Vstim explaining that the Windrunners and Rushu had been instructed in secret to find the [[Oathgate]] at Akinah.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}

 

 

When both bad omens are revealed to have been Nikli plotting with the other [[Sleepless]] to scare the expedition away from Akinah, Rysn requested that Lopen and Huio remove Nikli from the ship. ''Wandersail'' continued to Aimia, and traveled the strange storm around [[Akinah]] before finding safe harbor.{{book ref|sa3.5|12}} Rysn remained on-board, intending to set foot on the island once the landing became safe, although Chiri-Chiri dove overboard into the water and left her side. Rysn was the first to recognize that the gemhearts on the shore were fake and that a trap had been set, but is caught by surprise when Nikli returned to the ship. [[Cord]] grabbed Rysn and jumped into the water in an attempt to escape.{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}
