Wow that much time has passed?

Anyway.. let's see, they got through the pass, the boat did not. Somebody broke their leg, and to cut it short they found a boat back to Noatun where the (The?) Vulcan is so that they can get off Niconum. Oh and also they've got an official statement promising aid so they no longer need to get to Buhr Umyord.

Days 22-24

They hear that Fi is on a nearby island, so while the others continue to Noatun to get the ship Aster takes a little dingy over to the island where he finds her and they have some character building conversation I suppose. Meanwhile Ember and the others have arrived on Noatun.
Now to get the (or The?) Vulcan back.

Day 25

Ember and the others scout ahead a bit.
I need to plan this part out more, I didn't do a lot of writing yesterday.

Day 26-30

Ah yes right. So...

Ember comes upon the village on Niconum just as some Sparkans are arriving and begining to set it aflame, she meets some farmers and the townsfolk who fled the village thinking there was no chance of defending it, and comes up with a plan for them. They set a bunch of piles of hay in the fields behind the village on fire, and because of some recent rain that soaked them, they steam quite a bit. The smoke and vapour combine to confuse the Sparkans, who then see pitchforks rising from the billowing clouds that spook them and they're chased off the island. At least for now. The village couldn't be saved, but the people decide to set sail for a fortified island where they might be able to hold out better. Ember, Aster, Fi, Europe, Sam, and Moe (actually I forgot to mention Moe a few times but we'll assume he was with Europa and Sam...) board the Vulcan and set off themselves.

Aaaand then there's just their return to Cartha and the last stand on Rantov so I guess that's it for Novmo. It's been fun. I still hope to finish by christmas, however now that I've properly planned out the climax it is seeming longer than I anticipated so I may not make it...
