Dwarf City field trip!
So in Gendry's last post, he invited some folk to head out to Troichean Beinn. He was invited there to study smithing with a dwarven master. Sansa will be traveling with him to establish diplomatic relationships as per her father's appointment to Cothromach (which itself is a dwarven colony of sorts). A few other folk were invited or expressed interest in the trip, so this is just to hash out details!
They'll be setting out September 2nd. Thanks to a tip from the Monarchs, they'll be going by sea instead of land. If you look at the map, you'll see the "Shipyard Ring" on the southeast side of the continent. The group will travel from Caer Glaem to the Southwood Ring (a few days on horseback). At the Shipyard Ring, they'll charter a ship to take them around the southern side of the continent. This itself shouldn't take more than a week with a fair wind. From the coast of Troichean Beinn (on the west of the map), it'll be a few more days on rougher terrain to make it to the city itself. So the trip should take to 2-3 weeks, unless we arrange for some trouble on the road or at sea!
A ship has been chartered for Gendry and two others by the monarchs, but others will have to pay their way on. (But don't worry about that, Gendry has some jewels left over, so he can cash them in for coin and pay the way.)
I don't know what will happen when they get to the city. Some information provided so far is that the dwarves are neutral to the conflict. They're pretty insular and don't like to keep guests for very long. They'll try to convince shardholders to extract their shards while present, but this is known to be a very dangerous procedure. They do this so the shards can be put in a vault or sent to the respective court monarchs. While present they'll be subject to the laws of Lord Oir, the King Under the Mountain. To my knowledge, no player characters have been here before, so who knows what could happen!
In any case, this is just a post to chime in if you're still sending your character along. If you didn't talk to Gendry before but wanna jump in, gimme a heads up and we can figure something out. That said, Unseelie characters aren't likely to get invited along. You guys will have to plan your own field trip!
If you have any ideas to spice up the trip, feel free to drop in some ideas too!

I also second giant crustacean for no other reason than one claw can provide enough crab meat for the entire trip.

they better pray it's not sirensand make it more of a constant challenge in contrast to one massive monsterof course the dread brought on by the big monster arising at any point out of the waves can also make things wonderfully tense on the ship
hi, I am unhelpful and good with anything
AND NOW WITH RIGHT ACCOUNT

Man imagine the captain being like, "nobody make a sound. lower the sails. not a single breath, lads."
Then they just have to drift with this monstrously large creature just lurking in the sea around them. It will lose interest in them if it can't hear them. But just a single sound will gets its attention again...
I have no idea how to properly RP this, though.

if we go that way it might be better to have it be visible at the beginning then sink away. what's not there tends to be scarier than what is. then have their actual antagonists be smaller, faster moving creatures. best of both worlds.
