The entire trip from Novos, across the ocean to the outskirts of Waterdeep, took about two weeks at full speed. The ship was meant to cross the water at faster speeds than most. Since they smuggled goods back and forth quite often, it benefited Captain Coppertree to move faster on the open seas.

It might seem that I’m privy to more information but the truth is we both make sure we don’t share too much. … More Finding Balance
The two week separation of the party had come to a close. Aleera, Kaladrax, and Milo were all at the guild hall.

While Aleera, Kaladrax and Milo were restoring King’s Crest and bringing peace back to the lands around it, Hepolita and Kariss had decided to stay among the dwarves.
