Difference between revisions of "Summary:Dawnshard"

Cord, filling in for the chef [[Nlan]] who stayed ashore, discovers that the ship's grain stores have been infested by grubs. Once again, the crew assumes that this is a bad omen and that the voyage is cursed. Using notes she took while studying under Vstim, Rysn averts the crisis by directing Drlwan to dock and initiate trade with a group of [[Hexi]] nomads. Since the Hexi are strict vegetarians (but consider grubs to be plants), they are willing to trade the bad grain for jerky made from the nomad's dead animals. Nikli recounts his success warming up to the crew, and converses with Rysn about how he ended up among the Thaylen people.

Separately, Nikli finds a private moment to contact the other [[Sleepless]] without revealing his true form to Rysn. He reports on the status of his efforts to dissuade the expedition. Although working to maintain the secrecy of Aimia, Nikli argues that he should be allowed a last attempt to dissuade the crew, before being forced to kill everyone aboard - -as had happened on the ''First Dreams''.
