Last cycle of Aperitus, Summer of Era XIV Post Fractum

Their ship came into the city as the sun rose behind their backs. The Alchemist had spent the majority of the voyage secluded in his cabin, pouring over the maps of Paxia he had purchased in Jaedaxia. Of course, they were dated now, relatively useless except to show where things used to be. Phat would be staying here, unloading his goods and loading up what goods Paxia had to offer before returning to Jaedaxia, so the ship would be their base of operations.

He had for the most part kept out of the way of his temporary employee, they were not friends. Theirs was a relationship of employer and employee and the Alchemist felt no particular need to befriend the giant, he had made him an ally already. That would be enough. His allegiance had been bought.

Odds were he was already too late for any simple looting. Anything lying about on the surface would already have been taken by entrepreneurial citizens. Which was why he had brought the giant, as well as a decent supply of shovels, picks and similar. Still, he would need to see for himself what needed doing.

The black hat shielded his eyes from the morning sun, as he strode down and onto the docks proper. It was time to get started, time to find out what was what. He had marked down a couple of places of interest on his map. Foremost among which was the aptly named Academy of Magic. After briefly checking in with the port authorities, he with Mug in tow were headed west, towards the Academy of Magic.

"Bring the crate," he told Mug, it was a large crate. He would rather not carry it himself and if need be it would be faster than returning for it.
