The next morning, after Tacitus and his grogs have been fitted on the ship - which is now packed, even with Bartholomeus' shrinking magic, Calpurnia dons her talisman and heads to the front of the ship. She asks Tacitus to join her.
"Tacitus, you'll need to guide me to the covenant site. I won't be talking very much, I need to maintain concentration. Tell me as soon as you can about any turns I must make, I have to do them slowly when we're at full speed." Calpurnia activates the Eyes of the Eagle power from her Talisman.
Using exaggerated gestures and a firm voice Calpurnia casts Vessel of the Clouds. Very slowly, Calpurnia moves the boat backwards, onto the waves. Once it's clear, she slowly lifts the boat up. (Calpurnia has casting score of 62 to cast Vessel.) Guiding the direction that Tacitus suggests, over the next five minutes, Calpurnia urges the boat to travel faster.
Doubtlessly a number of the newcomers aboard are holding the rails tightly. and trying to show that they are not afraid, even if their faces are green. This isn't helped by Calpurnia's Gift, and her Disfigured looks. A number are angry, and it takes Tacitus briefly stepping away to speak to his men to get them to calm down.
As Calpurnia flies, she notices something on the ground. She slows to see the details, ending up hovering nearby. Ice crystals glow with brilliant light near the trees. (This is a vis source for 3 pawns/year of Imaginem, one of my build point expenditures.) Calpurnia marks the location and then heads on to the covenant site.
When Calpurnia sees the encampment, she slows down and makes a wide circle. She asks Maria to deactivate the Cloak of Romulus, so that the ship is visible. She does two circles over the camp, slowing further. She picks a flat spot near the lake and lands. Calpurnia's landing is not good, the back end hits first, jarring everyone. Then the front strikes hard, knocking almost everyone to the ground. Maria immediately heads below decks to make sure the children are unhurt.
[Edit] (The Folly has flown about a dozen times, it already has its first Warping point. The ship naturally wants to land in water, so every landing on solid ground is disruptive, unless Calpurnia can make a stunning Finesse roll. No one yet knows this.)
