"Well we've got a source of metal for repairs covered and wood for fuel can be gathered during downtime in between trips, so those aren't major worries," Felix says.

"Food and wood won't be a problem," nods Vanire. "Metal - I know that you get different types and grades of the stuff, and I don't know the specifics of what you'd need; I can't promise anything on that front. Some types we have more access to than other types; the higher-quality steels tend to go into our swords and armour, and the type of metal is important as well."

"The food issue should be the major sticking point, at any rate. So long as that's covered," Felix says.
Felix is ready to move on whenever.

Arkady is ready to go. Arguing with David about sealant will be fun...

And the question that I should have asked last time but didn't - is there anything else that anyone wants to do, visit, or accomplish after leaving Vanire but before heading through the forest to the Ship?

Not that I'm immediately aware of. I'm ready to head back.

Unless someone else just started speaking Elene, nothing. If someone did, then Arkady is going to make inquiries.

Theresa does seem to suddenly gain fluency in the Elene tongue out of nowhere; presumably Arkady starts making enquiries. Would anyone like to answer those enquiries, offer theories and guesses, or otherwise comment on Theresa's new fluency?

If he does, Felix will say that he made an inquiry of his own and came to his own conclusion on certain temporal matters. He'll suggest to Arkady that maybe there is more to his exorcisms than he might have previously considered and that he should consult his favorite book for other things people have asked God for over the centuries beyond casting out demons.

Arkady listens, sighs, and nods. "I see. Who did you ask?"
But that said, it's travelling time.

"I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say, but you've already met them," Felix says.
Felix is also ready to travel.

You're holding this conversation while on the road. At about this point, an attentive viewer will notice a column of smoke some distance away - in the middle of the trees of Fangorn Forest. It's too big for an ordinary campfire - the smoke suggests a blaze somewhere along the size of "bonfire" or "house on fire".

"Huh... that is somewhat concerning. Probably a good idea to check that out."
Felix tries to get an idea of his surroundings so he can figure out if the smoke is coming from the ship or the same area as the ship.

The smoke is coming from nowhere near the Ship.
It is, however, coming from an area of thick forest that - due to the presence of very large trees - cannot be directly approached by truck, and must be approached on foot.

Felix would definitely like to approach. A fire of that size is noteworthy, for good or ill.
