JACK
The snow eases in King's End, and in its place comes a downpour the likes of which Jack and the crew of The Ark haven't experienced since the monsoons had been a genuine problem back in Torchline. And y'know what? The Captain is done, at least for a short while, opting to get the fuck out of dodge before he abandons the region forever out of spite. Unfortunately for him, the journey up to the Grounds for some assorted business (and to shamelessly see what Vesper is up to) is the only reprieve they'll get from the rain.
As the ship descends to make port in Jack Tar Landing, the dark clouds are already starting to brood overhead again, threatening a storm, and he has to bite hard at the inside of his cheek not to snarl in frustration about it. Instead, they put down anchor and let down their sails, and Jack leaves the rest in Murphy's very capable hands so he can get somewhere he doesn't have to look at the rain when it inevitably arrives.
Unfortunately, it seems that the port area isn't just regularly washed out this Flowerbirth - it's also home to some weird shit. What Jack thinks, at first, is a shambling and dirty stray dog, turns out to be some kind of mud creature, and before he realises he's even done it, he's got earth magic reaching out to try and warp it forcefully in the opposite direction.
