Kiet's below deck right at the moment, and doesn't yet know what's going on...

  OOC:

  By expressed your suspicion do you mean that there may be a chance of that they may not attack immediately and we may be able to run away?

  Does Kiet share his thoughts and expertise with the rest of us in the few minutes before we meet these Sea Dragons face to face in case there is something we can do to avoid a conflict?

    No, they are not Wyrms.  They are Sea Dragons.  The ship is moving about PMR 12...or MR 48...

    And Kiet has already expressed his suspicion to the GM about the Chaos orientation of the creatures...

      OOC:

      Not that I want to be discouraging but I just had a discouraging thought and wanted to share it with the rest of you.  The only thing I see in the creature list that swims and fits this general description is a Wyrm.  By my calculations 24 knots is about 48' in game terms.  Wyrm's swim at 16' but they are chaos oriented and if they were aided by some malicious chaos force and sent here to attack us with the addition of a friendly current spell could be traveling at 56' or more.

        Thanks for the information.

        Scott, could you give us an idea on how many rounds of prep time we will have before the Dragons are within bow range?

        [OOC - Followup from John H post on speeds, etc.

        Dragon A 2 miles forward, sailing toward it.
        Dragon B 2 miles aft, sailing away.

        24 knots = 24 * 1.15 = 27.6 MPH
        2 miles / 27.6 MPH = 0.07 Hours = 4.35 minutes = 4 minutes, 21 seconds
        This excludes the dragon's movement, so that will reduce contact time depending on the dragon's speed and ship maneuvering, etc.
