Game Update #36 sequence (file #351)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin Notes: None.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Z'leyra: [Re: Dwarf Tongue]
Z'leyra will ask "Dorhak, would you assist me in learning
Dwarf Elder?" If yes, she asks "Please speak in Dwarf Elder
until I hold up my hand. and she will cast Tongues EL0 on
herself at x5 cost while he makes a short speech in Dwarf
Elder. Thus she will hopefully learn the language.
GM: Ack. What day was this? Why not use Necklace? :) Will have to
wait on his answer before resolve so remind if I forget.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[OOC: thanks, Scott for the IBT update. These notes reflect
that knowedge.
Apris 6, ~ 8 a.m. Raddok, having been cleared by K'leyra from
further seaman training at this time, asks Kiet about scheduling
time to learn to use his new dagger. He wants to focus on this
training for the next several days [OOC - to level 2, at least].
He helps on the ship, with the others.
Apris 7 - Raddok is one of the witnesses to Arawn's trick in
rescuing the seal caught in the whirlpool, and sends a thumbs-
up to the alfar.
Apris 8 - Raddok's dagger training with Kiet is interrupted by
the sudden heavy storm, but they use the time below decks to
teach Raddok some points of close-in combat in crowds, much to
the dismay of those nearby. Catcalls are almost loud enough
to drown out the sound of the storm overhead for a minute or
two, until people can scramble out of the way as Raddok
dodges back without looking behind him.
Apris 10 (or 11th, depending on their schedule in Provini),
Raddok takes a day's break from dagger training to again
practice swimming while in port, for the day this time, under
their appointed trainer. [OOC - I keep forgetting who's
teaching this - Kiet? - my apologies; I'm making a note the
next time I find it in the notes]
Raddok will continue to use Marentian language as much as
possible on board ship, and Dwarf Elder with Dorhak & Arawn
(& any other that want to practice/refresh their use of either
language). He hopes for a little more concentrated practice
after he feels more comfortable with his dagger. He's
beginning to think that sometime before they reach Vahear,
perhaps he should practice his Fomorian, too. He falls asleep
at night, after his watches, still planning, but glad of his
progress.
GM: Ack. Just a FYI. The stuff I do on travel is for
fluff. Temperatures and weather is just for story
progression. It is not required that folks post/react
to it. It is appreciated and welcome if you do but
not required. This is just a way of transition. Who is
K'leyra? :) As to swimming I assume in port all day I've not
heard from Dorhak so will assume all day. So that'd give
you a full day's swimming points.
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
Maelorna sighs as she looks about at all the potential food,
she has wings and considers the might chance it however, the
issue of changing into her more pretty half would cause too
much trouble with the crew.
She just winds up watching them with a wistful smile on her
face.
GM: Ack. What is this in reference to? The mermen? One of the
encounters I listed like the serpents or jellyfish?? Unclear
so unsure where to put it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Apris 9th, 1636TH - Provini Port]
The ship docks early morning and the crew tend to final
duties. Some go to town to get a nice bath and meal while
others get supplies for the ship.
[Apris 10th, 1636TH]
[Time: 7:03 am]
The crew removes any links to the docks and the ship
is directed by a tug into the deep water. The day
is overcast all day with temperatures ranging from 53 to
a hot 98 degrees. But there are good winds today which
gives the ship 27 miles of travel by end of the day.
[Time: 2:26 pm]
As the ship sails further south-west the heat is
around low 90s and it is muggy. Lunch has been done
for some time and the late afternoon chores are done.
Corona screeches from a half mile away but it seems to
be too hard to hear. But those who know the eagle know
he would not be so agitated without just cause. The
crew look around for something to worry about. The
ship is maybe a mile from shore.
Suddenly from the port aft the water seems to swirl.
This is more like a surfacing whale maybe with new
ripples and bubbles. Then it surfaces. A head with
hair. Within seconds it almost seems to rise up
as if powered by some force. It looks like a old
man of sorts that is very ugly looking. As it rises
it continues to rise and rise. Then its feet are
seen on the water and it is at least 40 feet tall!
A sea giant!
The crew panic.
This giant is holding a trident and has a net on his
back. It spots the ship and begins to walk on the
water moving fast toward it. The giant is only about
300 feet away. But based on the strides and power of
this muscular giant even with the ship's magic the
ship likely won't outrun it in time.
Horns, shouts and whistles are all blown to warn all
of the ship of the immediate danger.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday (in a week)
GM: Good and bad news. Good news this is the only encounter
until reach Tilal! Bad news this is a HUGE (pardon the
pun) encounter. I have already rolled up all the winds
and next 5 days of travel. So once this is done we
can move to next port. I did not hear from Dorhak so
I assume stay a day in port. Now here is a critical
point. My staff messed up and did math wrong on seaman
and some would actually learn it on the 10th not 5th.
So I gotta update the IBT document. Now based on my
math this is around 4pm that everyone would learn it.
Which is 90 min away. But I'm a generous GM so I
will allow full seaman (ie full OCV/DC) for this combat.
So don't fear that. I figure enough to fear about
than falling on deck. :) Below I will roll for random
locations. Now I had planned to do this update
tomorrow but I got off today. So might as well
do now. This would've been a very short update
if no encounters. For those who wish to fight
this is a great experience booster. Now next update
will be super delayed. I'm off all next week Mon-Fri
so wanna do a mini vacation and I have a project I
want to finish by 9/16 (Sunday). So I should be off
the 17th so I can work on next update then. This gives
you guys plenty of time to organize a defense. I hope
this is not a issue as I need rest!
Not many folks on deck and oddly alot of folks in the
hold? Must be a party or something? Maybe anew shipment
of rum? I dunno that's how the dice rolled. :)
Based on how fast he can move Giant will reach ship in
around 15-20 seconds. If he swam he'd be there already.
So you guys have maybe 5 phases to move to position and
prepare. Won't post a map until folks move for the
Phase 1 combat spots. Since it would be futile to
place folks on map then move you later.
