Telemachus

Above average in height at 5'10", Telemachus has a slight frame, and has grey eyes and a surprising lack of hair on his head for one his age.  The browns and tawney's of his underclothes, trousers and leather armour complemented the dark mulberry of his tunic and cloak.  From a baldric hangs a curved blade, a scimitar, and a heavy looking pouch likely has rocks or bullets for the sling that is looped on the other hip.  He gives off an aura of approachability and seems to handle conversation easily.



Ananke
The bare boat has been furnished with a number of things since the intrepid group came together.  Down in the hold there were nine hammocks strung from the rafters to sleep in.  Four large barrels were secured to the base of the mast, three holding water and the fourth filled with lamp oil for the hooded lantern that hung from the center of the rafters to cast light.  A net used for fishing hung from a spar to allow them to last longer at sea if needed.

The matching hooded lantern, as well as a more specialized bullseye lantern for when they needed to spot anything around the boat at night, hung up on the main deck in the mess.  The walls of the mess were now covered in cabinetry to hold the pots, pans, cooking utensils and mess kits for everyone as well as the dry goods that would be picked up and stored for their short journeys...Ananke wasn't designed for weeks or month long sails as it couldn't stand continued deep water rough seas for extended times like a larger carrak or galleon could.  A single table with benches dominated the middle of the room for everyone to eat around.

Out on the deck the most important missing things had been added: A proper anchor allowing them to safely anchor in waters about 35 fathoms deep and a similarly long sounding line to ensure that either the area was good for weighing anchor or that they weren't coming up on waters far too shallow for even as small a boat as the Ananke was.  Proper readings would ensure them not running aground.
