[pnpgm] Game Update #12 - File #140 - Ship Boredom ends -OOCUnit conversion

[Schnockel]

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.
