I believe I kept the timing purposefully vague, but this is what I found:
quote:
[Eryn and Ilura found out about] How Captain Frost was in a Devil's Bargain requiring her to bring bodies to someone bearing the name of The Overlord's twin brother, Yordakin Qizproteus. And that the shipment is due near the Jungle of Blossoms before the dry season is over.
[Captain Frost said,] "We'll travel south along the coast until Cliffport, then head west toward the Cane Islands. From there we'll make a quick jump over to the Lansel Peninsula and cut down across the Hazy Sea. And it will only be a short while further before we reach our destination, the sunset isles."
On the surface that sounded like a perfectly reasonable course for a ship to take. But to an experienced sailor like Sybilla, she knew it spoke of urgency. A desperate attempt to make up some lost time. For while sea beasts were possible anywhere out on the ocean, in one of those areas they were much more common. People only went through there if they were paid a lot, or they were desperate for speed.
I'll say the trip was expected to take about two weeks, plus or minus a couple of days depending on weather. It
might still be possible to get to the Sunset Isles/Jungle of Blossoms before the dry season is over by taking the safe route, but it would certainly require some luck and a good ship. If you want to repair your current ship and go, you'll either need serious magic or you'll need to accept the fact that you'll arrive late. Quite late. Your ship is in utter shambles.
