Black Sea, Near Lordaenor

"We've been out on this frakking sea for an age and a half! Where are we supposed to be heading anyway?"

"Language boy! And to answer your queston, westwards, according to this map, there is a landmass by the name of Lordaenor in our relevent direction, it would be a good place to start, as it is the closest landmass to Slavia"

Its been a while since Marcus Fenix, had begun work on a water worthy craft that would carry them out of the magic field surrounding the Slavian Isles. This was it, the 'Exodus' was a armour plated water craft, with enough space to hold 25 people. These people included Marcus, Constantine Godfrey, 5 swordsmen, 10 veteren riflemen, and 6 ship crew. The ship itself had propellers in the back, moved by an Elzanite powered engine. The Engine worked in two ways, first, it sapped energy from the surrounding air, using the magic absorbing technology Marcus had made the few weeks before, and then, when they exited the field, ran on powdered Elzanite, shoveled directly into the engine. It wasn't the fastest, or most economic vechicle, but it worked. It was early in the morning and their current destination was the mainland of Lordaenor.

"We should arrive in 2 or 3 hours at the most, depending on the weather, and or, well, angry, confused locals"

"Oh thats VERY reassuring"

Slavia Mainland, Elzanite Production Plant, Research Depth, 3 hours eariler

A shadow moves quickly in the adsence of morning light, through the depth of the production plant. It navigates carefully laid security systems, and sleepy guards as it makes its way towards its destination. In the quaters of a engineer, it rumages through a pile of plans, broken or incomplete machinary, and trinklets, made from pure boredom, and too much time. It find what it's looking for, a bulky mini reactor, and a absorbing pylon. It didn't look like much, but higher powers requested it, so higher powers will get. The shadow, puts the pile as back as it was before its intervention, and leaves swifty. 3 hours later, the first workers arrive.

OOC: Oh fyi, the ship looks similar to this http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/civil-war-docs/images/ironclad-gunboat.gif

ooc: not to be nitpicky here, but Thrashia said no Ironclads, and that l;ooks like a Ironclad. engines guns, tis a iron clad, and I do belive use of firearms is very limited in this game/rp/kingdomofeldire.

"Captain! Captain!" a Relativly young Dwarf cried, from his perch in the masts above "There is a ship ahead" he continued as he starred down the scope

"Is it one of ours or a commercial vessel" a gruff voice answered seemily conjoured from nowhere

"No sir, the voice replied as the Dwarf clambered down the mast and thudding onto the deck below with a loud thump. "its not bearing anything we know, should we greet them?"

"Aye, change course" he bellowed to the helmsman and soon the Dwarven armoured ship was on a direct course with the newcomer.
