Well, I know just about exactly where you're at, Heron -- in the seas just a little beyond where Talrik is. If you haven't guessed, you're not the first person to end up on that sandbar -- and you won't be the last. I guess DW Bradley thought we'd figure out that if Talrik got stuck there, we might get stuck as well.

But don't fret -- you have at least three options.

The first (and most drastic) is to go back to a previous savegame or revert the game back to just before leaving Brimloch Roon. That will always work, but you probably don't have to go that far.

The second option is to cast the Moon spell Vanish. That will make the ship reappear somewhere nearby. You may still be stuck, or you may end up on land, but you'll most likely end up in the water. Just don't go back there again

The third option is the most guaranteed, and that's to swim out away from the boat (and away from the sandbar) and cast Create Portal. Then get back in the boat and cast teleport, and *presto* -- you should be at the portal location, ship and all. Make sure you get on the ship when you do this -- click the wheel -- or else it will be just you teleported over there.

There is, of course, a fourth option -- and that's to ditch the boat, choosing instead to swim everywhere. It's just about as fast, and a lot less hassle IMHO.

Now, go get 'em!

Yep - Bungleau has covered everything! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do enjoy sailing on the ship but there isn't any real reason to use one except to avoid some encounters in the sea. Swimming is a great way to get all the shells you're going to need for Collasium so if you can't free your ship, you do have some advantages to swimming!
