From the measurements of the landmarks indicated on the map, Dirk is able to find the entrance to the first shadow path. He also begins to get a feeling for the writing on the map and what a few of the symbols might mean.
The way along the path is even more difficult than the way in Amber. Adding to the difficulties is the fact that if they drift out of the path then they will be lost in shadow with no way to get back into the path other than by returning to Amber and working through the measurements again.

When Dio and Maeve reached the shore she clears a bit of ground to comfortably sit down. Sitting on her knees she seems to take a pose of prayer.
Then carefully raising the Logrus to her mind. She creates tendrils to carefully reach through shadow.
She knows where she got her dress. So something similar will do. This time two. Her regular simple white dress and a lavender one for Maeve.
When she found them she pulls them through shadow towards her.

Maeve sits down next to Dio, concentrates and reaches out to get two simple sharp daggers and pulls them to her.

Dirk stays on course paying strict attention to staying on the shadowpath. He's trying to see if there's any signs of Dio and Maeve.

While Dio and Maeve sit in the rain and wait they hear the sound of drums from somewhere in the jungle behind them. They sound far off at this time.

For Dirk, the trip is worse than he could have expected. Winds shift suddenly threating to drive the ship onto the shoals or far away from the shore, currents tug and twist at the hull making a steady course impossible. It feels as if the shadows themselves are attempting to force him from the path.
The count of days is lost to him and the crew. It is a battered and leaking ship that finally reaches the end of the path. They rest a few hundred meters from a rocky shore. Becalmed in a drizzle of cold rain. The sea is purple and full of snakes. Along the shore is a jungle of orange trees. The faint sound of drumming comes from somewhere ashore.

Maeve points out the ship arriving on the waters. She checks rigging and build of the ship. "That should be Dirks ship."

Dio pulls her typical white dress over her head and hands the lavender colored one to Maeve.
Dio looks back to where the sounds come from.
"It sounds far of enough."
Looking to where Maeve points she nods
"We could quickly shift and move to the ship. Are we sure it is Dirk?"

Maeve pulls over her tunic and hands a dagger to Dio.
"The rigging fits, size and build fits but it is to far off to get a look at the name."
"We can take some of the palm leaves and weave. If it is someone else we can hide in the forest."

Dirk notices the damage his ship has suffered. 'We'll have to go ashore to get supplies to fix the ship."
He prepares to do just that. If he has a pinnace left he lowers it and asks for volunteers to go with him.

There are enough volunteers to fill the boat. The others, most of whom are afraid of rowing over snake filled waters, work at pumping and bailing out the water in the bilge. As long as none of the snakes slither into the ship.

Maeve watches the boat leaving for the shore and signs Dio for to sneak with her to the place where the sailors might land.
