The Launching point features a number of large wooden planks sitting at a downward slope going straight into the water.  On each side of the launching point there sits a large, ornate bronze figure of a light house that is used to tether the ships to the dock and keep them from casting away while the sailors prepare to board the ship. The launching point is very narrow, with large stone braces on either side of the dock.

Get on the ship or we will leave you behind Alright, lets be on our way. I can't afford to lose any more time or my target may escape  Your target? The King's Advisor. His name has been whispered in my ear and now its time to bring him to peace. Okay, well just keep your weapons away from me Careful with those. They are hand crafted from the finest steel. Worth more than this ship will ever be.  We're going to need it. We may run into sea monsters out on the seas Sea monsters?! I was told this voyage would be free from that sort of danger! You're an assassin, you can handle sea monsters
