<x-tab> </x-tab>From Kiet:
[Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet checks around the boat to ask if anyone besides himself knows
Cerulean.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Our next port is Halle, part of the Cerulean empire.
Interesting people, but not sure...
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Yes, Zabyra may stay.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
At first, the Captain is incensed about someone stowing
away. Not paying for passage is akin to theft. Then there is
the...
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"all right. She can stay, but one little bit of
trouble and she goes overboard!" He looks at her and says,
"Youll have to sleep...
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.
Opps you did answer that question on how long to stay. BTW if need
to anchor out and rowboat in next time let me know.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Raddok: [Re: Healing]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok agrees to try the dagger & somewhat gingerly
holds it as indicated by Kiet against the...
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. See folks. That is how to post something - anything. It
doesn't change the outcome of the scene and adds flair to it which is
perfectly fine. This is how folks can still do stuff and not have
stuff to do!
<x-tab> </x-tab>From
Arawn: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn will inform the party that he speaks both Cerulean and
Fomorian. Not sure who has a 'better grasp' but for comparative purposes
Arawn has EL 40 in both.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. 40is good. If folks need to test levels without stating
private ELS (feel free to post such ELs) one can talk and judge roughly
using the language levels thing I gave Raddok awhile back.
<x-tab> </x-tab>From Kiet:
[Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet is but a rank amateur at these languages. Mostly
just learning enough to curse in them. (EL16 both)
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ack. So far not using any variant as we are talking about on the
main pnp (Wout's) Mailing list.

<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
15th, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
4;05 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet shows the healing dagger to Raddok.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok agrees to try the dagger & somewhat gingerly
holds it as indicated by Kiet against the wound as directed, trying to
hold it in place as the blade begins to vibrate. The wound is at first
painful as if protesting the movement, but quickly the pain fades &
the soreness is gone. Raddok only moves the dagger away when the
vibrations die away, & he stares at the dagger & the closed
wound, agreeing it was a very handy thing to have along, indeed!
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
19th, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
9;00 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet checks the ship for who may speak Cerulean.
"Our next port is Halle, part of the Cerulean empire.
Interesting people, but not sure about them. Certainly an interesting
government. Anyway, if anybody needs to use the language necklace
for their language, I know enough to start. Anybody got a better
grasp of their language?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Zepp hears Kiet ask and stops cold. We are heading to
Decha? It is a very bad vicious haven of cutthroats, pirates and
killers. I've heard you'll never find a more retched hive of scum
and villainy.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Finn chuckles, you sound like some old man!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Zepp continues, yeah well too bad this isn't a Cerulean or
Rogizini ship. I suggest we double our guards once a day from Decha.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali asks Arawn to speak Cerulean so she can learn and use
the necklace. Upon using the necklace she learns Cerulean.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[[Time:
9:05 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet smacks his head with the palm of his hand when he sees
Zabyra has stowed away. Geez. Of all the gin joints in all the
world...and she has to walk into this one. Or board this
ship. Fine to look at but kinda flaky. Well, at least she
brought wine.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak stares at the Dancer in front of him. Why do
all humans grin like that?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
At first, the Captain is incensed about someone stowing
away. Not paying for passage is akin to theft. Then there is
the issue of where to put her. his anger is assuaged by her offer of the
wine for sale. This would make it close to passage cost plus her
supply needs.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"All right. She can stay, but one little bit of
trouble and she goes overboard!" He looks at her and says,
"Youll have to sleep in the hold."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
'Sure! Aye Aye Captain!" Then does a mock salute and
moves to Fremea to hug her.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak continues, "We will sell the wine just as Zabyra
suggests. Also, we will replace any lost items like the hammock
that blew away. Plus food and water."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Considering the trouble some of you had in the
last port, I think we should spend a minimum time in this port.
Once all of the repairs are made and stores replaced, we will head back
out to sea. If we have to stay overnight because its finished late
in the day, Fine. Then we head out at first light."
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
21st, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
10;46 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak is on patrol at his watch. He briefly checks
the back of the ship and moves toward the smugglers hold. then he
hears grunts and moans.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mae is 2 decks down in the dark bowels of the ship.
Looking for rats to feed energy from is harder - almost as if the rats
don't like open sea compared to waters near ports. But she can also hear
grunts and moans. She knows those noises.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak goes back and forth in the darkness to see where the
noise is coming from. He realizes it is the secret hold. He
lifts the hatch and quickly descends with mace in hand. Seeing in
this darkness is not a issue for a dwarf. But once down the slight
slope (no real steps just a incline). He growls at the sight in
front of him. About 10 feet away lit by 3 dim candles is Finn naked
on his back and Zabyra naked on top of him. She smiles as she
continues her ride. Finn glances up and says, "I'm off duty
and shift! Folks...ahh..need some fun on a ship or
go...ahh..ohh..insane!"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Humans! Must they breed like
rabbits?<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
22nd, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
4;10 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Zabyra, Dorhak and Arawn - for the language - are at a wine
shop. The 4th in the last 20 minutes. Finally the vendor tastes the
sip of Tappora Wine Zabyra 'acquired'. "WE don't get this wine
that often. Most folks in Tilal refuse to export it. This
seems a fine vintage but its not so fresh. I can offer 23 Copper
per bottle."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak considers this he is into ale not wine but others
tell him good wine is much cheaper and so called fine wine is a bit more
expensive slightly. But for now its the best deal they've
heard. Then again its 'free' wine. Dorhak shakes hands and
tells where to find the wine at the docks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I'll send a wagon and someone to fetch it. Once
20 bottles...minutes this one which is less from your free samples to us
shop owners...this bottle I can give 15. So that's ..." He
jots some figures on a parchment. "451 copper."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn corrects his math to 452.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Ahh yes. Forgot to carry that..correct 452
copper. That is 45 silver. For that I'll have to get my uncle
to help escort the boy as that's a lot of money. They'll be there
in 30 minutes? I'll rush them out due to it getting dark soon."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Outside shop Zabyra turns to Dorhak, "thank you.
I will now find a place I can dance for a week or two to get money for
passage to the empire." She turns to Arawn, "tell the
others good bye. Good luck on your journey." She then
turns and heads off.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak considers giving her some of the wine coin and a
internal struggle hits his brain.
They continue to prey on other nation's vessels.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
24st, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
6;22 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
With supplies and a check for new stowaways by Dorhak the
ship prepares to leave as the sun rises. One more leg to Decha then
Vahear. Dorhak checks the skies the sailors say one can see omens
like certain clouds show future storms. But he doesn't see much
omens.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Today average winds will give the ship 19 miles of
travel. Most of the day it is cloudy with early morning
temperatures of 35 to a toasty 91 degrees mid afternoon.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
7;49 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Ship is beset by heavy fog that lasts almost 20
minutes. It causes Fremea and Corona to fly over as well as 2
watches crows nest and ship fore to guide the ship.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Apris
25st, 1636TH]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
3;00 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Third watch has been active for 2 hours now. There are
dark clouds above. The temperature isn't awful at 60 degrees. There is no
moon and starlight is pretty much impossible to see. The ship is
anchored about 2 miles west of the coast. A cool breeze makes the
Marentian flag flap and the sails pound the rigging making that tink-tink
noise it does.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea is enjoying a flying patrol with her full gear and
armor. She likes to patrol low on the water to ensure nothing
climbs on board. But she also enjoys the night air looking for
occasional glowing sea life.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath with full gear on Is a the back of the ship on
patrol listening to the waves bash against the ship.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra is in the center front tapping the deck with her
staff as she looks out front. The snore of Ardrackle drones
on and she wonders how a man can snore and snort while passing gas at
same time?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak is the warmest in his cabin's bed under the warm
sheets dreaming of being buried alive by gold coins.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Mae has fallen
asleep in the bowels of the ship looking for rats hours earlier. Ix
is in the cargo hold with the wolf. The wolf sleeping his food
rabbits and goats is a nice treat for him.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pyan is sleeping in the northern berth room. Raddok
and Barbosa are sleeping in south port side berth. Brutto and Finn
are sleeping in the south starboard side berth room.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Ardrackle, Zepp, Unali, Arawn and Kiet are sleeping on deck
in hammocks. Depending on random shifts folks will take turns sleeping in
berths, hammocks or old.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Corona is in the crow's nest sleeping. Since it is too dark
to man the nest with a person he likes to sleep there. The ship
itself has little light. A ship with no lights is asking for
trouble. One lantern hangs near the stairs, another by the rigging,
another by the steering wheel, one in the center on the center lockers,
one near the front near the rowboat and finally one lantern hangs at
the very rear of the ship. But there are great swaths of space with
no light.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A large 24 foot lanky form swims deep
underwater. The black with bits of gray mottling swims
around the ship unseen by Fremea. It creeps closer to the
ship. Then on the port side a head full of sharp teeth pops up and
water drips from his jaw. It lowers then swims a few feet toward
the ship. The 8 foot neck juts upwards and upwards. Then as
quickly as it rises lowers. The deck is just too high. IT
dives and picks up speed. Then circles and moves quickly toward the
ship and surface. With amazing strength it jumps like those jumping
fish out of the water.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea now spots this as it leaps and turns with bow.
It is a massive beast with a long 8 foot tail, bulge of a body riddled
with fins and the long neck full of razor sharp teeth in its jaw.
It has minimal legs and not long arms of only a few feet. But on
those limbs are sharp claws.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
It lands on deck dripping water as it does right next to
Zepp's Hammock. It clamps and bites down onto Zepp's lower right side
near his stomach and takes a bite outdoing 8 points. Zepp instantly
wakes and screams.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath turns and can barely make it out. Some large
creature in the darkness. He runs to the ship's wheel which is only
feet away and rings the brass bell in alarm. He begins to yell out
a general warning.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Ardrackle who is trained to wake up fast rolls off his
hammock and stands. He pulls his dagger and sees the creature and
yells, Sea Dragon!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn, Dorhak, Kiet, Pyan, Unali, Ardrackle, Barbosa and
Brutto wake up instantly. Ix, Wolf and Mae remain asleep.
Raddok, Finn and Corona will wake up in a few seconds (phase 2).
Everyone else like Z'leyra, Fremea and Mournath are awake.

Update...Friday/Saturday??
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Since
these do not fly (no wings) nothing says they can't come
ashore or leap on a ship's deck. ;) A fun update but a
certain player thinks there should be more danger and certain doom.
So as asked for so say I. :) I don't see these things sinking ships but
they can do darn damage to it. I'm off Friday and most of
Saturday. Will try the next 2 phases then. I still
haven't heard from Tobie so I gotta sit and work on my short form charts
unless he can save the HD. Speaking of HD these things come in
3. Myself and now Wout. His server pc down. Hopefully a 3rd
pc wont' crash (Tobie be warned :)). One can verify this by loading
the List Archives if it loads its working. So if you post it may
wait a few days (probably 3-4?) and if up will send those out.
After that probably bounce. So might as well post to list and CC me
for a few days. Once back up (check archives) can do list
only. Till then I'll have to email this directly. Now let's
see who will die this combat! (evil gm laugh) For those who wake up
phase 2 that's how the dice rolled. I can only assume those on Watch are
armed/armored. For armor it will take time to don. Weapons can be
grabbed fast. I can allow leather to be worn for those in hammocks
if so desired.
GM: Arawn : Got
sheet thanks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab> Fremea I
will give you 1 phase of prep I figured may not fire bow or hit Zepp. But
if you want to get closer or do spells let me know for that 1 free
phase.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab> Ix/Mae: No
sheets so your asleep for combat. I can't see data I don't
have. :<
