Adventure on the High Seas Tracker (Vega & Arlo please)

Off Topic
This is a tracker for a GTS adventure being run for Vega and Arlo.

All progress will be summarized to this master post at the beginning of the thread and all progress against it posted in individual posts using the template at the end of this post.

Steps in the tracker will be uncovered as progress is made by the players and secrets uncovered.

Please don't submit threads for review until after they have been reviewed in here first, after which, please follow instruction with regards to review thereafter, on a case by case basis.

Please use the following template (or something like it) when registering threads with this tracker and then I will reply with the consequences of said thread(s).

You can do this together or individually, i.e. if you wish to create seperate SOlo's where you do different/seperate things, please feel free and enjoy!

Thanks goes to Pyrre Ej'qy for inspiring this template

Tasks/Goals to fullfil Next Plot Starter(s)
Setting Sail
To leave sweet song I need to know what/who you are taking with you. Your goals for this to kick-start the adventure should include:
1) What ship/ships you are taking.
2) What NPCs (if any) you are taking with you.
3) What things/supplies of note you are taking (don't link things like typical ship and survival supplies, but if you take a magical orb of death, I want to know about this).
4) Pick a destination (North, South, That there star second on the left, The unknown!).

Solve these in one Colab, 15 Solos or one solo from either of you... It's your choice, I have not requirements in that regard. ENJOY! :-)
The former Pirate King, a grizzled figure known by the shadows of his past exploits, entered the presence of Vega and Arlo, laying out a collection of weathered maps on the table. "This is all I've got. Butcher amassed a fortune for a reason, and we've got only half the maps to get us started."

Despite his retired status, the once-scourge of the Scalvarisian Seas exuded a rough charisma, still harboring an undeniable love for the sea. Restlessness seemed to emanate from him, as if the very ground beneath his feet irked his skin, and the allure of the open water tugged at him relentlessly. Though he attempted to conceal it, excitement flickered in his eyes. Venturing back to the sea, following another's lead—something he hadn't done since youth. Then again, perhaps the tides were leaving him behind?

As the trio considered the maps before them, the Pirate King couldn't suppress a wry grin. "Butcher's riches are scattered across the Scalvarisian Seas. The man was no common cutthroat; he hid his spoils well. These maps give us a start, but don't think it'll be an easy voyage."

Nostalgia and anticipation danced in the old pirate's eyes as he shared the tales of Butcher's treasure.
Off to the North!
Complete/tackle two of the challenges listed on the right before reaching the north star (in as many or as few threads as you wish).

Please do not submit these threads for review until I have confirm to go ahead.

Please do not find what is at the North Star yet.

Off the back of these two threads, please declare:
  • One serious consequence and how you will deal with it, if you do (perhaps having only one leg is OK for a pirate).
  • Something you discover about the maps or the north star during your escapades.
Note: Your narratives don't have to be of any specific style. Please write comic, serious, social or whatever you like :-)
  • Navigate treacherous waters, including rapids and whirlpools mentioned by Dianav.
  • Encounter and deal with a dangerous underwater creature that attacks at night.
  • Write a thread featuring an odd smell, sunset and something that talks that should NOT.
  • Write a thread that ends: "...and as the sun set on the horizon, they finally admitted that this section of the treasure map was actually just a grocery list.".
  • Overcome harsh cold weather conditions as they travel north.
  • Decipher clues and solve puzzles related to the star-shaped location on the map.
  • Face potential rival treasure hunters or pirates also seeking the same goal.
  • Write a thread that ends: "As the last echo of their footsteps faded, the sea whispered back a name no one had spoken in centuries..." and add a name here! :-D
  • Manage limited resources and provisions during an extended sea journey.
  • Maintain communication with Sweetsong via some means and solve a problem for them.
Adventure AWAITS!

Appearance

When standing at his full height, Winston towers a full 1 foot and one blueberry tall. A fact he will happily demonstrate before flicking said blue orb into the air with his nose and then eating it with a snappy grin.

His eyes are dark and sharp, ringed by dark brown fur upon the bright white fur that sets off across the rest of his face.

Equipement

Winston usually carries the following on his person:
  • Cassion's Locket hangs snugly around his neck.
  • Winston's Fairy Bell hangs from his tool-belt attached to his hip. It's 'ringer' is often bound by a small piece of cloth to prevent it giving away his position while in the wilderness.

Vega's skin has a reflective metallic sheen with a red glow. Her eyes still swirl biqaj colours, but one colour is always bright red which glows like fire. She has a bright red glow in her chest, situated directly under the mark of a heart (Daia mark) in the middle of a glowing silver dragon on her chest (Xiur). She's unnaturally warm to the touch
