uh oh... I think I'm screwed!

[Huzurdaddi]

So I just started a game on Faerun and I'm playing Vanehiem and it looks like I have a problem:

My pretender does not have sailing.

It seems like I can not get off my starting group of islands. I also ( foolishly? ) did not give my pretender astral or air magic so teleport and air trapese are out of the question.

I tried an experimental game and it seems that boots of flying will not do the trick either.

Am I screwed? It sure looks like it to me. Dang. That sucks. I hate to go computer so early. But my pretender is kind of important!
