Great story! I was hooked from start to finish. It is about time for this kind of thread.

I shot my karve with a fire arrow trying to get a sea serpent. The flotsam, including my tomb, is still on the scene. I cannot yet sail a karve with that kind of accuracy, but I've gotten frustratingly close. If currents and the effect of wind were modeled, my stuff might wash ashore somewhere, but it's going to stay where it is until I learn how to sail.

Oh, no. I'm going to have to go for joy rides in my new karve. This game sux.
