Game Update #36 sequence (file #351)<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Admin Notes: None. <br>
----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[Recap]<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re: Dwarf
Tongue]<br>
Z'leyra will ask
"Dorhak, would you assist me in learning<br>
Dwarf
Elder?" If yes, she asks "Please speak in Dwarf Elder<br>
until
I hold up my hand. and she will cast Tongues EL0 on<br>
herself at
x5 cost while he makes a short speech in Dwarf<br>
Elder. Thus she
will hopefully learn the language.<br>
GM: Ack. What day was
this? Why not use Necklace? :) Will have to<br>
wait
on his answer before resolve so remind if I forget.<br><br>
From Raddok: [Re:
Actions]<br>
[OOC: thanks,
Scott for the IBT update. These notes reflect<br>
that
knowedge. <br><br>
Apris 6, ~ 8 a.m.
Raddok, having been cleared by K'leyra from<br>
further seaman
training at this time, asks Kiet about scheduling<br>
time to
learn to use his new dagger. He wants to focus on this<br>
training for the
next several days [OOC - to level 2, at least].<br>
He helps on the
ship, with the others.<br><br>
Apris 7 - Raddok
is one of the witnesses to Arawn's trick in<br>
rescuing the seal
caught in the whirlpool, and sends a thumbs-<br>
up to the
alfar.<br><br>
Apris 8 - Raddok's
dagger training with Kiet is interrupted by<br>
the sudden
heavy storm, but they use the time below decks to<br>
teach Raddok
some points of close-in combat in crowds, much to<br>
the dismay of
those nearby. Catcalls are almost loud enough<br>
to drown out the
sound of the storm overhead for a minute or<br>
two, until people
can scramble out of the way as Raddok<br>
dodges back
without looking behind him.<br><br>
Apris 10 (or 11th,
depending on their schedule in Provini),<br>
Raddok takes a
day's break from dagger training to again<br>
practice
swimming while in port, for the day this time, under<br>
their
appointed trainer. [OOC - I keep forgetting who's<br>
teaching
this - Kiet? - my apologies; I'm making a note the<br>
next time I
find it in the notes]<br><br>
Raddok will
continue to use Marentian language as much as<br>
possible on
board ship, and Dwarf Elder with Dorhak & Arawn<br>
(& any
other that want to practice/refresh their use of either<br>
language). He hopes for a little more concentrated practice<br>
after he
feels more comfortable with his dagger. He's<br>
beginning to
think that sometime before they reach Vahear,<br>
perhaps he
should practice his Fomorian, too. He falls asleep<br>
at night,
after his watches, still planning, but glad of his<br>
progress.<br>
GM: Ack. Just a
FYI. The stuff I do on travel is for<br>
fluff.
Temperatures and weather is just for story<br>
progression. It is not required that folks post/react<br>
to
it. It is appreciated and welcome if you do but<br>
not
required. This is just a way of transition. Who is<br>
K'leyra? :) As to swimming I assume in port all day I've not<br>
heard
from Dorhak so will assume all day. So that'd give<br>
you a
full day's swimming points. <br><br>
<br>
From Mae: [Re: Actions]<br>
Maelorna sighs as
she looks about at all the potential food,<br>
she has wings and
considers the might chance it however, the<br>
issue of changing
into her more pretty half would cause too<br>
much trouble with
the crew.<br><br>
She just winds up
watching them with a wistful smile on her<br>
face.<br>
GM: Ack. What is this in
reference to? The mermen? One of the<br>
encounters I listed like the serpents or jellyfish?? Unclear<br>
so
unsure where to put it. <br><br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Apris 9th, 1636TH
- Provini Port]<br><br>
The
ship docks early morning and the crew tend to final<br>
duties. Some
go to town to get a nice bath and meal while<br>
others get
supplies for the ship.<br><br>
[Apris 10th,
1636TH]<br>
[Time: 7:03
am]<br><br>
The
crew removes any links to the docks and the ship<br>
is directed by a
tug into the deep water. The day<br>
is overcast all
day with temperatures ranging from 53 to<br>
a hot 98
degrees. But there are good winds today which<br>
gives the ship 27
miles of travel by end of the day.<br><br>
<br>
[Time: 2:26
pm]<br><br>
As the
ship sails further south-west the heat is<br>
around low 90s and
it is muggy. Lunch has been done<br>
for some time and
the late afternoon chores are done.<br><br>
Corona
screeches from a half mile away but it seems to<br>
be too hard to
hear. But those who know the eagle know<br>
he would not be so
agitated without just cause. The<br>
crew look around
for something to worry about. The<br>
ship is maybe a
mile from shore.<br><br>
Suddenly from the port aft the water seems to swirl.<br>
This is more like
a surfacing whale maybe with new<br>
ripples and
bubbles. Then it surfaces. A head with<br>
hair. Within
seconds it almost seems to rise up<br>
as if powered by
some force. It looks like a old<br>
man of sorts that
is very ugly looking. As it rises<br>
it continues to
rise and rise. Then its feet are<br>
seen on the water
and it is at least 40 feet tall!<br><br>
A sea
giant!<br><br>
The
crew panic.<br><br>
This
giant is holding a trident and has a net on his<br>
back. It
spots the ship and begins to walk on the<br>
water moving fast
toward it. The giant is only about<br>
300 feet
away. But based on the strides and power of<br>
this muscular
giant even with the ship's magic the<br>
ship likely won't
outrun it in time.<br><br>
Horns,
shouts and whistles are all blown to warn all<br>
of the ship of the
immediate danger.<br><br>

Update...Monday (in a week)<br><br>
GM: Good and
bad news. Good news this is the only encounter<br>
until reach Tilal! Bad news this is a HUGE (pardon the<br>
pun) encounter. I have already rolled up all the winds<br>
and next 5 days of travel. So once this is done we<br>
can move to next port. I did not hear from Dorhak so<br>
I assume stay a day in port. Now here is a critical<br>
point. My staff messed up and did math wrong on seaman<br>
and some would actually learn it on the 10th not 5th.<br>
So I gotta update the IBT document. Now based on my<br>
math this is around 4pm that everyone would learn it.<br>
Which is 90 min away. But I'm a generous GM so I<br>
will allow full seaman (ie full OCV/DC) for this combat.<br>
So don't fear that. I figure enough to fear about<br>
than falling on deck. :) Below I will roll for random<br>
locations. Now I had planned to do this update<br>
tomorrow but I got off today. So might as well<br>
do now. This would've been a very short update<br>
if no encounters. For those who wish to fight<br>
this is a great experience booster. Now next update<br>
will be super delayed. I'm off all next week Mon-Fri<br>
so wanna do a mini vacation and I have a project I<br>
want to finish by 9/16 (Sunday). So I should be off<br>
the 17th so I can work on next update then. This gives<br>
you guys plenty of time to organize a defense. I hope<br>
this is not a issue as I need rest!<br><br>
Not many folks on deck and oddly alot of folks in the<br>
hold? Must be a party or something? Maybe anew shipment<br>
of rum? I dunno that's how the dice rolled. :)<br><br>
Based on how fast he can move Giant will reach ship in<br>
around 15-20 seconds. If he swam he'd be there already.<br>
So you guys have maybe 5 phases to move to position and<br>
prepare. Won't post a map until folks move for the<br>
Phase 1 combat spots. Since it would be futile to<br>
place folks on map then move you later. <br><br>
