Dirk finds himself.....on the edge of a Naval Battle.
The war to Liberate Ayalos is in full swing.....not that Dirk would know anything about that. He wouldn't know Ard Ri Brian from Adam....nor know him to be a cousin. Nor would Brian know him to be Cousin....Cousin being a reflexive term.
Brian hadn't walked the Pattern yet.....Or he might have. The Amnesia curse having afflicted his mind here. Those answers about the past are still in his future.
Of Course Brian's future seems in a bad place right now. The Flagship he is on has its hull torn by a rocky outcropping. The sails have been destroyed. The battle was very bad.....for everyone but the High King of Ayalos.
Also encircling his ships are sunken ships and sharks tending to bodies floating above ground. This mountain of a man is sitting on his boat and feeding a small white Raven.
"What a fine mess you've gotten us into." The Raven Laughs. Brian shakes his head at the Bird feeding him part of the rations that likely belonged to one of the dead sailors.

A sloop approaches flying a flag with a stylized black panther on on a white background. Whoever is navigating the area is careful to not run aground themselves. From a safe distance someone is looking at Brian through a spyglass. "HELLO, THERE!" is yelled through a non mechanical megaphone device followed by "NEED ANY ASSISTANCE?"

From a safe distance someone is looking at Brian through a spyglass. "HELLO, THERE!" is yelled through a non mechanical megaphone device followed by "NEED ANY ASSISTANCE?" "I suppose I do." The Man with the very large Mohawk says.
" If you get close enough I can probably jump. A row boat might be more ideal."

A boat is lowered and is heading your way. The man rowing it has dark brown almost black hair, green eyes and the body of a swimmer. He gets close enough that you can easily join him on the rowboat. "Hello, welcome aboard."

I step onto the rowboat and off him my hand. "Brian Kane." I look at his bo
"Did you sail from Lyonesse?"

Dirk offers you a handshake "Dirk. And nope not from Lyonesse. Is there any place you want to be besides here?" He starts to row back to his ship. "I can drop you off. But it seems like you need more help."

" I might have ships in Lyonesse.....might be simpler to go there. " I look him over and his ship "Where is your home port?"

"We are a ship without a home. Let's get you back to yours."Dirk gets back to his ship and invites you aboard. When he gets a chance he reaches for a bottle of rum and offers it to you before grabbing one himself.

I point to a bank of Mist. " I can give you a vague sense of how to make it through the Mists there then."

Dirk sails for the mists and follows your directions. He stays focused on getting everyone to safety. "Are you ok? It looked like things weren't going your way out there."

He laughs a bit "You are an outlander.....And they barely accept me as one. And I've taken over leading this nascent rebellion.....Best to get me back and get you some place safer."
