Triton's Mistress and the Isle of Eternal Blis....Hostility
Who: The Triton's Mistress Crew
Where: The Isle of Eternal Bliss
When: 7/6-7/12
What: With the race underway it's time to face their first challenge.
Warnings: PG-13
Style: Your choice
By some strange twist, the Triton's Mistress's first token lay on the shores of the Isle of Eternal Bliss. Given recent events, it was either ill-timed or fitting for this to have been their lot. On the one hand going to this island might provide them with a chance to help the indigenous people, on the other hand.. the navy had arranged for a blockade here and the locals would not be keen on receiving strangers just now. Then of course some members of the crew were more focused on the race and might insist on securing the token before any other recourse could be taken.
The island would be looking less idyllic than it was rumored to be, the scorched gardens and a few toasted businesses were the scars remaining on the landscape. Aside from that there were still the rolling hills, dozens of untouched churches and temples, and of course the villages that were more or less off limits to tourists.
In order to slip close enough to the island to begin the search for the token, the crew had taken great pains to keep from alerting the navy to their presence. In the dead of night, there were plenty of anxious moments as the Mistress avoided the main ports and settled near the less traveled section of the island. The navy's main forces of the blockade were quite literally only the width of the island away...
EDIT:
Circle Islands
The next island loomed before the intrepid crew. Although this island seemed remarkably more inviting in terms of the lack of naval ships the terrain could pose a problem. The earth shot up high into the air and formed a spearhead on top. This formation was duplicated in other spires of steeply graded formations. Rope bridges were strewn about some more treacherous to traverse than others. A curious feature to the island came in the form of it's lopsided goats. Adapted for their environment these beasts had shorter legs on one side than the other. It was a wonder that they were able to climb both up and down the slopes without losing their footing all the same.
When the Triton's Mistress neared, they were told by a man that was eager to leave the island just where they should seek the next token. It was said to rest on the tallest point.
One token richer and two crew members down, it was time to see what would await them on this island.

Slipping into Town
"The town should be on high alert. They may even see fit to alert the Navy if they discover we are among them. Keep low and watch for those in uniform."
His approach to town was done with that warning in mind, ducking from bush to corner of building to avoid being spotted by anyone walking through the streets. A fortunate thing too as no sooner had he taken to another bush than had a troop of Naval Officers rounded a turn in the street and continued their march down the road entirely unaware hos close to a potential enemy they were.

On the Triton's Mistress!
And by "them" he meant Haytham. Furthermore, why had Ban even allowed them to go off without him? He was the best retrieval specialist in Japa- no the world! Hell, he was the only retrieval specialist present in this island chain. This is the kind of thing he does for a living.. Why would you ever want to leave him behind?!Yeah- Ban was being mature- throwing a small tantrum on deck.
Sure- there had been that that one time.. where Ban had totally blown their cover in the Corsair Kingdom but that was months ago. They weren't even crewmembers on the Triton's Mistress yet. How long was this going to be held over his head?
"I have half a mind to go out there and start my own expedition. I bet I could get my hands on that stupid thing long before they could...."
