[Recap]
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Sorry...I didn't
realize it was important.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>yes, sell the
topaz. And anything else that seems mundane (i.e. not magical).
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From Kiet:
[Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Wait!
Wait! I just looked up the treasure again.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Kiet has a goblin
sword. It's in his gear. He thinks that the possibly goblin
dagger might 'work' with the sword, so he asks to keep it if nobody wants
it. Make set of them.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Since the make
pretty weapons in the Rogizini Empire, it's probably not worth anything
here anyway.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. Yeah to be honest 99.5% of venders wouldn't know it/s
goblin.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From Kiet:
[Re: Treasure]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Lemme
rephrase...I think the goblin knife might work with the sword as a
collection...just because. No deep dark secrets here...
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. I gotcha. Sadly even in Marentia probably 98% of folks
wouldn't know what it was.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Raddok: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[OOC note for any
points assigned for the fight with the thugs on 4/15 at the town
house/shop: Since the fight with the thugs took place on an odd-numbered
day, Raddok would have been carrying his great sword (sheath on left, as
he's right-handed). Stating this so that points can be assigned to proper
skills, Scott. ;-)]
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. I gotta add this to note file. Done. The combat
was generic and fast. Update was already delayed and long so did a
FAST version for space and time factors.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Raddok; [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[OOC: I am not
sure if the 4 rowboats listed are/were all purchased or not. If you want
comments, I was interested in the one found with the extra hold, as this
could be seriously convenient, especially if the entrance way to it could
be camouflaged for safety reasons (escaping with dwarf captives or other
cargo), & if didn't need significant repair.
If there is a discussion before leaving port, Raddok will state this
preference & his reasoning.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Also, he will
offer one SC from the pouch he won toward ship's supplies. Whether or not
Z'leyra accepts it is up to her - he wants to at least pay a bit of his
share of expenses. He will offer 1 additional silver coin, if she accepts
the first one.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>As to the
treasure (topaz, wooden statue, etc), Raddok is barely aware of it, so
not concerned with how it is used.]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>4/18: approx
noon
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[putting this in
since Dorhak has had no chance yet to respond to Raddok's question while
in Tilal. Juggle this as you see fit, Scott.] Raddok...
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Sometime the next
day (4/19), during dagger practice with Kiet, Raddok notices that Kiet
seems slightly distracted & asks is something is bothering him
(Raddok has forgotten about the mysterious message Kiet had found, since
he didn't understand any of it anyway, or much else of what was going on
that early in the voyage.).
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
All ships were only as items to buy. Extra hold? There was one with
a extra hole but no hold. These are rowboats too small for a hold
of any kind. ;) Rowboats aren't like modern Cruise ship lifeboats with
high tech gear and cabinets. Its wood, benches, oars and if you carry
gear its at your feet. :) Up to Z. She'll have to say yes/No and
how much take so i can remove. As to what Kiet talked about
previously you understood it.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Raddok: [Re: Healing]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Forgot this in earlier post, but:] on 4/16, after returning
to the ship, Raddok will ask Kiet (on the quiet) to check the minor wound
he got in the fight with the thugs, to be sure he's cleaned it well
enough to prevent infection. He will not ask for a healing spell, unless
Kiet recommends it. He will not mention Barbarosa's injury, as the sailor
doesn't want Dorhak to know about it.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. Kiet isn't a healer. In order of skill it's Z'leyra,
Arawn and Fremea. But others do have items. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak is rather surprised that a human country can be this
…
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From Kiet:
[Re: Healer]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Well, I am no healer, but I'll be happy to look at
it."...
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Unali: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When the topic of Fomorian comes up, Unali will let Raddok
know...
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[OOC: she has EL60, so she might be the best speaker, she
has no clue who else speaks the language well.]
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
It may be in my Language link on site. If I recall you learned it
near Port Doman or maybe that was a old group.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
-------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
15th, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[[Time:
4:03 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok returns to the ship and finds Kiet. HE asks to
speak privately in the smuggler's hold. Then explains the
attack. He asks for Kiet to heal him.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Well, I am no healer, but I'll be happy to look at
it." Kiet examines the wound and does his best to tell if it's a
problem or not. "You know, I do have an item that could heal
it for you. I haven't really advertised this, but it's no secret
either. One dagger I have can heal wounds, of all things.
Would you like to try it?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet heads to his room to get what he needs.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet will grab his dark, almost black, wooden buckler shield
plus the dagger it holds. He pulls the dagger from its sheath
(attached to the shield) and hands it to Raddok and explains how to use
it but warns him not to interrupt the vibrations from the dagger.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok holds the item to activate it. Kiet explains its a Shamaic
item so most shamans enter a trance for spells. But they use a focus like
Z'leyra's drum or Ix's bones. Raddok feels the dagger vibrate and
his eyes cloud over slightly as he feels disconnected to the real
world. Then green energy disperses from the dagger and hits the
wound. Soon the wound is healed fully. Kiet realizes the item
wouldn't be good in heat of combat.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"A useful item, don't you think?"
[Apris 16th, 1636TH]
[Time: 9:12 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak is rather surprised that a human country can be this
chaotic and dangerous. Humans! Go looking for a small craft and
find a group of dead men in the shop, and one gut-wounded. He would
have been dead eventually if Arawn wasn't there.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He's glad that we are only staying a few days. too
dangerous otherwise.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak doesn't know much about the little boats, but does
know that deck space is tight. He decides to go for the four-man
craft, and pays for the modifications to the ship to get the winch and
pulley system installed on the ship. This ship is worse than a
mansion. It's a money pit. Dorhak heard one of the sailors
say that a boat is simply a big hole in the water into which you dump
money.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak hires the craftsman to install the pulleys and
wenches to lower the ship's boat. He decides it is best at the
front of the ship just in front of the gang plank. Finn says that
the railing hole for plank can allow for fast repelling down to the
rowboat if needed.
[Apris 18th, 1636TH]
[Time: 12:08 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok approaches Dorhak concerned about no earlier
response.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok brings up the issue (again, as he's begun to fret
about it) of Fomorian-speaking at the mid-day meal, while seated with
most of the group. "Who is the best speaker of Fomorian among us?
Forgive me, but we are getting closer to Vahear now, & I would like
to know that we all will have time to use the necklace to maximize our
language skills before we encounter any Vahear (at least I do) - an
encounter which we might have, even before we reach the island's
territory. For myself, I know enough to ask for an inn, certain supplies
or weapons. I also know mining terms, like tools & landscapes or
tunneling terms, both from my prior visit there, & for my own
personal interests in mining. However, my speech is rough & obviously
foreign. I would like to have sufficient time to practice the tongue more
before we get there - even if it serves our purposes to pretend some
ignorance once we arrive, in some areas."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When the topic of Fomorian comes up, Unali will let Raddok
know she speaks Fomorian: 'I learned the language sailing these seas a
couple of years ago, but I haven't practiced much.'
[Apris 19th, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:23 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Ship is hit by a marble sized hail storm it lasts for 8
minutes and pelts the deck. But there is no real damage.
[Time: 9:05 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok and Kiet are dueling with daggers and Raddok senses
something is wrong with Kiet. A few days back he explained the
mysterious letter from hermit in Sivas. The miner understood it but
it seems to trouble Kiet, maybe since no one actually responded to his
comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
9:07 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Zabyra looks at Unali and gets help to exit the crate.
“Thanks. Glad to see you again as well Z'leyra!” She is not
wearing her clothing that covers every inch. Now she is wearing
loose fitting green tunic and brown pants. She turns to Unali, “take me
to your leader! Sorry I wanted to always say that.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra works on Barbosa fast so they can both listen to
this and rush upstairs. Unali leads Zabyra top side and Dorhak is
discussing with Mournath, reef issues entering Halle on a map. He
frowns and growls at the stowaway. Someone will pay for this and swab
some poop decks. The slender dance approaches and smiles. Dorhak is
amazed she speaks Marentian. The dancer waves at Fremea making the
dwarf confused do they know each other?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“Permission to sneak aboard Captain. Before you throw
me off the ship let me offer a proposal. I took the liberty to
acquire from my old boss-friend Toggara Wine. It is made in Tilal
and common so worth 2-3 Silver a bottle. But abroad it is worth
more. I have a crate of 20 bottles.” She glances up at the
sky to see what direction they are going. “Heading to Halle? If so
we can sell it for 2-3 times its value. That's 80-180 silver profit
to you! Just for allowing me passage. Then I can dance a few days and
earn money for passage to the Empire in the west. I decided to leave my
boss after he wanted to sell me.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet nods now understanding the scene with the men on the
dock.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“Only issue is the wine goes bad.” She looks
around. “Is that talky talky pointed ear elf around? Maybe he
or another person can preserve the bottles? What do you say Captain?”
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>------
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The day stays cloudy all day making temperatures range from
43 to 78. There are poor winds allowing ship to move 18 miles
only.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
4:25 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A drizzle hits the ship drenching all top side. It
lasts 18 minutes and is very cold to open skin.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
7:57 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A moderate storm hits the anchored ship lasting almost 30
minutes. It has moderate lightning and thunder.
[Apris 20th, 1636TH, South Seas near]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Clouds break making it partly cloudy all day but
temperatures lower to a brisk 19 to 54 degrees. A good set of winds
allow ship to go 22 miles today.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:58 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rain drops on the ship for almost 15 minutes drenching the
top deck and those on deck thoroughly.
[Apris 21st, 1636TH, South Seas near]
[Time: 4:25 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rain hits the ship again lasting 42 minutes. Barbosa
vows to demand a new shift or at least get a tarp!
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
6;20 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rest of the day is cloudy giving average winds allowing ship
to go 24 miles. It is another cold day with it going 19-77
degrees.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
10:13 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A light drizzle hits the ship again for 8 minutes.
Mournath growls at his main map almost getting wet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
5:45 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Zabyra shows the crew and others Rogizini style dances
including veil and dagger dancing.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
7:36 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
While on watch Raddok spots a water spout. The wind
picks it up for almost 3 minutes about 35 feet off shore. But it
does not get close enough to affect the ship.
[Apris 22nd, 1636TH, South Seas near]
[Time: 1:56 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab> A
heavy storm hits the anchored ship. Fremea is small enough to
protect herself. Z'leyra is drenched but Mournath just stands on
deck like nothing is going on around like lightning, pelting rain and
thunder. A normal sailor's watch it seems. The storm lasts 12
minutes and passes but those in hammocks are drenched.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
6:31 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab> The
day remains cloudy all day and very cold with as low as 11 and only as
high as 36 degrees. Hot soups are called for and hot tea. The
winds pick up all day of superior quality making it a bone cold day all
day. The sailors soon realize the winds that could give them 72
miles that day but actually give 46 miles. The 25 knot wind starts
to damage the ship so sailors demand Arawn end the spell but even then it
doesn't help. The gales are fierce. At least one hammock is lost as
it blows away into the sea. Zepp asks for help to steer as the
wheel is hard at this speed. With effort the rigging is
lowered. This helps to slow the ship but its also needed to protect
the sails from damage. The ship takes very light damage but nothing
serious Mainly items blown all over the place. Fremea and
Corona are unable to fly in this wind as well.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
2:00 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab> The
ship only needs 46 miles to Halle. A city of 26,000. But Finn
is worried. Docking at this fast speed is dangerous. One
could collide into the docks. The rigging is raised with reverse
sails to work against the wind and make it much slower. The ship
anchors but finally there is a short period the winds die. Quickly
with skill the sailors raise anchor and inch the ship to shore. A
dock is found and just as ropes are latched the winds pick up again
forcing ship to bump against the docks. It takes 8 others from the
docks to help tie the ship ropes and at least prevent further damage.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
2:32 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab> The
ship docks at Halle with gang plank lowered.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next Update...Friday??
GM: Yep. No
encounters at all. I thought this was last leg but we have one more
Halle to Dechat the longest and last leg of 240 miles. Most have
been about 100. So let me know what if anything is done. If
nothing major comes in I can work on that last leg of trip. Which
could take as short as 10 to 20 days depending on winds. Then ship
turns toward Vahear. At that point i will do IBT processing.
So I hope all characters are sent by then. I'm waiting on Tobie to
look at HDs as well. If he can fix HDs then no need to work on
ships sent to me. I am off 5 days this week and next. But last 2
weeks in December I'm not - back to normal. So any of my spare free
fun times will be over in 3 weeks. Then its back to 2 day off weeks
(Tue/Wed) until September. :< Had hoped to do some fun stuff but
these updates and delays (starting very late daily) have been a
issue. Oh well. June next year is our 20th year. So
we'll see then what the future holds. I'm still getting used to the new
format as well. :< If Tobie can't fix I still am missing 4
character sheets. Deck plans updated with ship's boat basically its at
front of ship by gangplank. So it can be lowered on right front side of
ship. It takes 2 men to lower but really 3 is best. It is 23
SC in total gear wise. Reminder: If you need to check updates check List
archives (see link on list emails or game site) these archives are
updated in real time. So if you see posts missing check spam
folders. My game site is updated when i can. :) But Archives
is current.
