[Recap]<br><br>
From Raddok: [Re:
Actions]<br>
[OOC: this seems
like a lot of stuff here, but wasn't sure<br>
whether to fill in
a couple of those days at sea in this session<br>
or not, so I did;
if unnecessary, hit me over the head, -<br>
gently -
please - lol]<br><br>
Marqi 24th
-
<br>
(Raddok is relieved when Dorhak gives the order....<br><br>
[OOC:
he plans to practice this new skill daily, if possible]<br>
OOC:
lol]<br>
[OOC:
just trying to get the skills Raddok would like to work<br>
on
while on board mentioned; the schedule is up to ship's<br>
officers - he hopes to be practicing by the morning of Marqi<br>
25th,
and already have a few days' practice in both weapons (at<br>
least
one session with each daily) by the time the first leg of<br>
their
journey is done]<br><br>
[OOC:
I would assume the cooking is being done on a stove on<br>
deck,
fastened onto a protective metal plate on the deck, to<br>
protect from embers] Raddok offers to Kiet to assist with cooking,<br>
even
if just running for ingredients, chopping them, or keeping<br>
the
fire going.<br><br>
Raddok
eats with the others whatever meals he can, listening to<br>
their
stories, and trying to understand more words. He shares a<br>
couple
funny stories of his early adventures - or misadventures,<br>
since
one tale had to do with his stumbling over his own sword<br>
in the
dark.<br><br>
After
a wet night on deck (Marqi 26th or 27th, whichever is<br>
his
turn to be outside), Raddok wonders out loud how ....<br><br>
[Marqi
28th - night]<br>
Raddok
defiantly states that hail is NO fun in a hammock,...<br><br>
[Marqi
29th]<br>
As the
port of Kasha becomes visible, Raddok asks K'leyra...<br>
GM: Ack. There is no
obligation to post. But this does bring<br>
up a
reminder I'll cover below on mini IBT. Swimming<br>
is
kind of hard to do with a spell active it would be hard<br>
to
catch up with ship. So as long as spell is in place<br>
I
doubt no one will swim. Technically at night when<br>
ship
is forced anchor (even while spell is active) one<br>
could
swim then but the current created by the magic<br>
would
be dangerous. Not to mention sharks at night.<br>
I like
the hammock scene! Funny. Original idea too!<br>
Anyone
can go ashore to get a bath/meal/etc. as to<br>
cooking since no actual food was bought cooking is null.<br>
It
seems only Travel Rations were paid for no fruits<br>
or
soups or meat. So it will be a long trip eating<br>
only
rations. :< Why supplies are critical for a ship<br>
like
this. It could be a factor for endurance/nutrition.<br>
As to
daggers will assume paid for but remember email I<br>
sent
this will make you very low on funds now. :< There<br>
are
places on deck for tents (maybe 3-4) but winds would<br>
blow
them off deck unless really secured. <br><br>
From Raddok: [Re:
Actions]<br>
That's a fighting
dagger he wants - he doesn't feel dexterous<br>
enough to use a
throwing dagger like it should be used. He only<br>
plans to use it as
a tool, not a weapon, although having an in-<br>
close weapon might
prove useful, and he might get some training<br>
in using it, if
there's time among his other practices.<br>
GM: Ack. <br>
<br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions] <br>
Besides spending
her time increasing her Seaman skill,<br>
Z'leyra loans out
her new Language Necklace when requested.<br>
Using her Watchful
Sleep brooch and after five days of<br>
recovering mana
she further enchants the Necklace to boost<br>
the Em of the
wearer*.<br><br>
 When port
is reached she will replenish the ship supplies<br>
and get new
supplies (such as a new fighting dagger w sheath)<br>
that were
suggested.<br><br>
*Using similar
technique as Necklace was first ensorceled.<br>
GM: Ack. I assume since
unclear that means supplies are paid<br>
for by
Z up to the original numbers (1k rations, etc).<br>
As to
the new enchantments you'll need to give more<br>
details on the actual spells since it was probably 10<br>
years
ago we did it and the dates since unclear.<br><br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Marqi 24th,
1636TH]<br><br>
(Raddok is relieved when Dorhak gives the order to cast off -<br>
waiting is hard
when the brain and body are both eager for<br>
action. He offers
to help, asking Z'leyra (as First Mate), what<br>
and where he might
lend a hand. [He will follow her directions,<br>
whatever they
are.] (Once the ship appears to be on course, and<br>
things quiet down,
he looks around to find if Z'leyra might be<br>
free to answer a
couple of questions, and waits until she<br>
appears free
[around mid-day, I assume she'll have a few<br>
minutes?]. Raddok
approaches her, touching his hat brim in<br>
respect to her
on-board rank. "Excuse me, Z'leyra, but do you<br>
have just a couple
of minutes - I have a couple questions about<br>
our routine on
board." (He waits until she acknowledges she can<br>
listen, either
returning later if she asks, or going ahead with<br>
his questions…
[whenever he can ask them, here they are] "I<br>
was wondering if
you will be scheduling any weapons practice - I<br>
would like to
practice with both my mace and my sword, to keep<br>
my skills up &
hopefully improve them. I use a shield with the<br>
mace, but the
sword is two-handed. I'm willing to do two or<br>
more practice
sessions every day, for as long as you deem fit<br>
for each.<br><br>
"Also, I think Kiet, or somebody, said something about<br>
swimming lessons -
which I know we probably can't do until at<br>
anchor, but I
really need to learn.<br><br>
"Another thing." He glances directly, if slightly
cautiously,<br>
at her.(He doesn't
want to annoy her) Is there a chance that<br>
you can help me
learn Marentian? I was told by Kiet you might<br>
be able to craft a
magical means of learning, and the more<br>
practice I can get
with you folks' common language, the better.<br>
Whenever you're
ready, of course - I don't want to be pushy."<br><br>
"By the way, will we be rotating the use of the hammocks?<br>
I'll stay out on
deck if you wish, as long as my gear is under<br>
shelter in a
cabin." "If there's anything else you want me to<br>
be doing while
we're at sea, just let me know. I can carry<br>
things or assist
someone - whatever's needed." (He waits to<br>
see if she has any
answers for him, or if she'll still needs<br>
time to arrange
things - either way, he is patient and as<br>
courteous as
possible.)<br><br>
(He
has another, somewhat strange request, but suddenly backs<br>
off on mentioning
it right now - he's pushed enough already, and<br>
she might think
he's crazy if he suggests using his new climbing<br>
gear to get some
climbing practice in, by either (or both)<br>
hooking the
grapple over the side & climbing up and down the<br>
ship's sides, or
hooking it up on a spar near the mast & climb<br>
up and down the
mast using the grapple & rope - he's too<br>
embarrassed to
mention it at this time.)<br><br>
He
suddenly thinks he might see such things as practice<br>
sessions posted on
the wall outside the galley the next morning,<br>
and hopes he
hasn't annoyed her. He hopes she'll send him off<br>
with a chore, so
he can retreat with some grace. He decides to<br>
hold off
mentioning climbing practice for a few days, until a<br>
routine has been
established.)<br><br>
<br>
[Marqi 26th,
1636TH]<br><br>
Raddok
wonders out loud how he'll ever get his blankets dry<br>
(at least it
wasn't freezing) - he says he didn't realize he's<br>
used to being in
his tent, but there's no room on deck for that.<br>
He gets permission
in the morning to hang the blankets on the<br>
rails tying them
in place, where the breeze dries them, and<br>
watches the
others' blankets, too, keeping them out of the<br>
sailors'
way.<br><br>
<br>
[Marqi 28th,
1636TH] [Night]<br><br>
Raddok
defiantly states that hail is NO fun in a hammock, and<br>
covers his head
with his extra blanket - he's glad he has two<br>
spares. He falls
out trying to get it in place, and joins the<br>
laughter of his
companions, hiding under the hammock until the<br>
hail stops, then
dumps it out of the hammock, climbs back in<br>
& falls back
to sleep.<br><br>
<br><br>
[Marqi 29th,
1636TH]<br>
[Sea of Tears,
North Shore near Kasha City]<br><br>
As the
port of Kasha becomes visible, Raddok asks Z'leyra if<br>
someone could buy
him a dagger & belt sheathe while in port, as<br>
he didn't
realize until at sea how handy the things were to<br>
cutting up meat or
ropes, even if he doesn't use one to fight<br>
with. He hands her
2SC to cover the cost, & asks her to tell<br>
him if it costs
more. He also offers to help carry any new<br>
supplies on board
in this new (to him) city.<br><br>
<br>
[Marqi 30th,
1636TH]<br>
[Time: 6:41
am]<br><br>
The
ship prepares to leave the city after any supplies<br>
are
delivered For the first time in days the clouds<br>
roll in to make a
cloudy day. Temperatures range from<br>
33-58. There
are average winds with an average speed of 6<br>
knots but gives
the ship 16 miles of travel today. <br><br>
[Time: 8:30
am]<br><br>
A rain
storm hits the ship and lasts about 15 minutes. <br><br>
[Time: 12:!3
pm]<br><br>
Crew
spots a large ocean ancient turtle on the surface<br>
of the water. it
is big enough for a man to ride and<br>
must be hundreds
of years old.<br><br>
[Time: 1:29
pm]<br><br>
A
small marble sized hail storm pelts the ship for about<br>
eight minutes or
so. <br><br>
[Time: 10:40
pm]<br><br>
The
crew spots 5 medium sized seals in the water<br>
swimming along the
side of the ship. Some consider<br>
taking one for
dinner but the animals dive before any<br>
attempts can be
made.<br><br>
[Time: 11:44
pm]<br><br>
A
moderately powered rain storm hits the ship drenching<br>
it for about 19
minutes.<br><br>
<br>
[Marqi 31st,
1636TH]<br><br>
The
day ends up partly cloudy and signs of summer has<br>
not shown up as
temperatures only range 27-46 degrees<br>
making for cold
sailing. Average winds help the ship<br>
but Mournath due
to fog loses sight of the shore and<br>
loses bearings
slightly. The ship gets lost for 14<br>
miles before the
mistake is corrected. This only gives<br>
a overall distance
of 6 miles gained today.<br><br>
[Time: 8:40
am]<br><br>
A
strong wind storm hits the ship making steering<br>
a bit difficult to
maintain course and things have<br>
to be batten
down. It lasts about 20 minutes.<br><br>
[Time: 10:34
am]<br><br>
Fog
sets in the area for almost 2 hours as sight of<br>
land is
lost. Corona and Fremea offer to give help<br>
but the fog makes
it difficult to get bearings even from<br>
the air.<br><br>
[Time: 8:14
am]<br><br>
A
light rain storm hits the ship for about 5 minutes.<br><br>
<br>
[Apris 1st,
1636TH]<br><br>
A
dreadful overcast day makes seeing the sun near<br>
impossible
today. Temperatures range from 27-54.<br>
But the winds are
good today giving the ship 30<br>
miles to
travel. Arawn does make a mistake in his<br>
navigation at the
end of the day due to the loss of<br>
the stars due to
overcast. But it is not critical<br>
as ship was near
anchoring for the night.<br><br>
[Time: 1:03
am]<br><br>
Those
no deck are awoken by a golf ball sized hail<br>
storm but it only
lasts about 3 minutes.<br><br>
[Time: 12:41
pm]<br><br>
A
school of Eel are spotted on the port side of the ship.<br>
The sailors are
not sure if they are dangerous or just<br>
creepy.
Since it is day time they can't tell if the<br>
animals are
electrical or not.<br><br>
[Time: 3:53
pm]<br><br>
A
heavy wind storm hits the ship making the crew<br>
to batten down the
hatches it lasts for about 12<br>
minutes or
so.<br><br>
[Time: 7:50
pm]<br><br>
Suddenly the ship is struck as if hit by a wall. Those<br>
standing or on
deck are tossed back a few feet causing<br>
minor bruises and
cuts. Those lucky to be sitting are<br>
not
affected. Then suddenly the ship lurches starboard<br>
and begins to moan
and creak. The rigging begins to<br>
strain to the
force and 2 sailors rush to secure it.<br>
Two other sailors
rush to the front of the ship with<br>
lanterns to see if
its a reef. Then one yells, "Whirlpool!"<br><br>
The
rare event has happened with a force 7 style<br>
whirlpool which
means the ship is caught not moving fast<br>
enough to skirt
the whirlpool. The size of the whirl;ool<br>
is 100 feet
in circumference. But the depth is shallow<br>
at only 30 feet so
this helps.<br><br>
The
ship is rocked back and forth as it slowly rounds<br>
the perimeter of
the whirlpool for exactly 5 minutes.<br>
Those not used to
sailing are suddenly green and use<br>
the railing to
support their release of the shock from<br>
their
stomachs.<br><br>
There
is little Dorhak or the crew can do to prevent<br>
the event.
But once it is over the ship orders an immediate<br>
anchoring.
The ship must be inspected from top to bottom<br>
for damage.
The crew describe what to look for and Fremea<br>
flies along the
sides of the ship to look for damage as<br>
the crew and
passengers look for damage.<br><br>
In the
end there is minor damage. Maybe a dozen boards<br>
need to be
replaced. Since no board, nails or hammers were<br>
ever bought the
repairs must be made once in town. The crew<br>
hopes it will last
a couple more days without serious hull<br>
breaches.
They murmur at the lack of supplies for<br>
repairs on
board. The Fomorians didn't even get any<br>
as well it seems
or just sold them.<br><br>
<br><br>
[Apris 2nd,
1636TH]<br><br>
The
day ends up partly cloudy again with temperatures<br>
ranging from
16-69. The ship gets helped by average<br>
level winds giving
an average speed of 6 knots for a full<br>
distance of 24
miles made today. That evening Arawn does<br>
fail on some of
the local charts but Mournath fixes the<br>
error in the
morning. There are absolutely no weather<br>
effects today
making it a rare day.<br><br>
[Time: 12:29
pm]<br><br>
The
ship spots 3 local Bhamotin merchant ships in a<br>
tight fleet
formation sailing south probably from Kasha<br>
to the next
city. But the spell of the Friendly current<br>
makes the ship too
fast to slow down safely for any<br>
meet and
greet.<br><br>
<br>
[Apris 3rd,
1636TH]<br><br>
The
day ends up cloudy with a short duration of a bone<br>
crushing ten
degrees for about 20 minutes to warm up<br>
as hot as 86
today. Ship gains a steady average set of<br>
winds to give the
ship 22 miles today.<br><br>
[Time: 7:17
am]<br><br>
A wind
storm hits the ship and a loose spar tears<br>
a bit of the top
quadrant sails But since there are no<br>
cloth to replace
it will have to be left alone.<br><br>
[Time: 8:44
am]<br><br>
The
crew spots 3 large red and orange stripped sting<br>
ray in the
ocean. They are tempted to capture one for<br>
dinner but one
sailor says that type is full of poison<br>
and is not good at
all to eat. <br><br>
[Time: 12:09
pm]<br><br>
A
small rain storm hits the ship for about 12 minutes.<br><br>
[Time: 6:57
pm]<br><br>
The
ship makes anchor now at nightfall as usual. But<br>
Corona lands and
reports there is a city only about 2 miles<br>
away. Fremea
flies and confirms it is a large city and must<br>
be their next
destination. Mournath and Arawn consult their<br>
charts and confirm
it must be Vistair.<br><br>
Mournath warns the crew that sailing into the docks at<br>
night is
risky. But if its only 2 miles away and that<br>
would mean a
night's docking compared to docking at<br>
sunrise and
collecting supplies then would be a waste of<br>
time.
Mournath asks if Fremea can arrange a tug to help<br>
guide the ship
into port. It might cost a few silver<br>
to get the help
but it would be good to have local help<br>
who knows the
local waters.<br><br>
Fremea
returns a half hour later and a tug will help<br>
guide the ship to
a berth. Soon a small tug ship arrives<br>
with heavy lights
and guides the ship to a small dock<br>
of light merchant
berths.<br><br>
Arawn
has to dispel the magic to allow the ship to go<br>
slower and with
more caution as it is towed into the docks. <br><br>
[Time: 8:15
pm]<br><br>
The
ship docks at Vistair port and makes payments for<br>
local dock fees
and the tug captain.<br><br>
Vistair a city of 14,000 is not as big as Kasha but has<br>
the usual city
delights. <br><br>
Next
Update....Saturday or Next week (Tue/Wed)<br><br>
GM: Second leg of
travel done now in the second city.<br>
Sadly the rolls help you guys but hate me. No big<br>
combats. Darn. Maybe next time I can kill off some<br>
pcs. Some repairs sadly will be done in port so no<br>
free time for sailors due to poor supplies on board.<br>
As with last city if any plans to be made (bath, dinner<br>
of non rations, etc). Let me know. Otherwise we'll<br>
move on to the 3rd leg.<br><br>
This does bring up Mini IBT. While on board one can<br>
improve skills. I assume 8 hours to sleep. Then<br>
8 hours of possible chores. So in order to get full<br>
points you'll need to dedicate 8 hours. If less then<br>
you will get less. If no skill is given I'll assume<br>
Seamanship by default. Languages can be done by<br>
teaching or magic. If by magic Let me know which languages<br>
you want to learn if possible. The rope language item<br>
can be done once a day so its first come first serve who<br>
takes it. So at this point its been what? 10 days? So<br>
that's 10 days of magic use or so. So tell me the skills<br>
you want to learn! I'll process the actual points once<br>
Vahear is reached (not until then). If you do more than 1<br>
skill you'll get less points so 4 hours of Mace and 4 hours<br>
of shield is 0.5 (or 1 if taught) per day. Swimming will be<br>
very limited only at night and dangerous due to the spell<br>
Arawn has cast on ship.<br><br>
Also there is no obligation to post. I've gotten some<br>
in email or skype saying nothing to post. That's fine.<br>
If this was a movie it would be end of Reel A the usual<br>
travel montage where music is played while the characters<br>
travel from point A to B. This is mostly filler. But<br>
as with Raddok even he can come up with some filler. But<br>
there is no obligation to post. But it is GREAT time to<br>
get to know each other RP wise. <br><br>
