"I've been studying the maps the Majari gave us with Be--the Captain," she says. "There's a few places that seem good to stage a breakdown."

"We can go up to the mouth of the river and then follow the coast. Once we leave the River Precinct, we'll be beyond the wards of the city, but still within sight of the bay. There's a black sand beach there, before the cliffs start rising, that should be a good place to make a stand. There's ancient lifting stones there, Orophias told me the jurgen use them to--"

She shakes her head and breaks off from her wandering, not without effort.

"But if we want to make some progress towards our other mission and Marilfjord, we could set out across the bay. I'm not sure if fighting over the water is what you want to do, but there's an island on that I marked... it's called just called Flat Island on the charts, it's not really anything, but it's on the way and puts solid land under us. The journey around the peninsula to Marilfjord would be shorter."

Or, of course, you could just fight in the middle of the bay.
