Jayce is on the Jagahn, a really evil looking sea faring ship, leading two more smaller (but still quite large) sea faring warships. (Druid could be on any one, though I would imagine he would have followed Jayce.) I was going to coordinate them landing on Tjed at "sunrise", which isn't really a fixed time away but won't be too much longer (I'm sort of letting other players get a chance to get a character over there if they want, plus Spartan has his thread going which sort of depends on it being night for the moment).
Since these are big warships, they can't really get close to land (due to the water being too shallow) so they land troops via small boats.
So to answer your question, yes, they'll probably arrive at Tjed soon, but no, the ships won't really be close enough to land for Druid to simply jump off like he did in your post.
Just let me know if something isn't clear and I'll try to explain it better. The whole method of the Dark Empire landing troops via small boats was sort of touched on way back in Chapter 3, like two years ago, so sometimes I forget not everyone has been around that long. (Heh...)
