Game Update #47 sequence (file #441)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin Notes: None.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Sorry...I didn't realize it was important.
yes, sell the topaz. And
anything else that seems mundane (i.e. not magical).
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Wait! Wait! I just looked up the treasure again.
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.
Since the make pretty weapons in
the Rogizini Empire, it's probably not worth anything here anyway.
GM: Ack. Yeah to be honest 99.5% of
venders wouldn't know it/s goblin.
From Kiet: [Re: Treasure]
Lemme rephrase...I think the
goblin knife might work with the sword as a
collection...just because. No deep dark secrets here...
GM: Ack. I gotcha. Sadly even in
Marentia probably 98% of folks wouldn't know what it was.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[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. ;-)]
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.
From Raddok; [Re: Actions]
[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.
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.
As to the treasure (topaz,
wooden statue, etc), Raddok is barely aware of
it, so not concerned with how it is used.]
4/18: approx noon
[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...
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.).
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.
From Raddok: [Re: Healing]
[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.
GM: Ack. Kiet isn't a healer. In order
of skill it's Z'leyra, Arawn and Fremea. But others do have items. :)
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Dorhak is rather surprised that a human country can be this
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Healer]
"Well, I am no healer, but I'll be happy to look at it."...
GM: Ack.
From Unali: [Re: Actions]
When the topic of Fomorian comes up, Unali will let Raddok know...
[OOC: she has EL60, so she might be
the best speaker, she has no clue who else speaks the language well.]
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Apris 15th, 1636TH]
[[Time: 4:03 pm]
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.
"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?"
Kiet heads to his room to get what he needs.
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.
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.
"A useful item, don't you think?"
[Apris 16th, 1636TH]
[Time: 9:12 am]
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.
He's glad that we are only staying a
few days. too dangerous otherwise.
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.
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]
Raddok approaches Dorhak concerned about no earlier response.
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."
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]
[Time: 8:23 am]
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]
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?
[Time: 9:07 am]
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.”
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?
“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.”
Kiet nods now understanding the scene with the men on the dock.
“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?”
------
The day stays cloudy all day making
temperatures range from 43 to 78. There are poor
winds allowing ship to move 18 miles only.
[Time: 4:25 pm]
A drizzle hits the ship drenching all
top side. It lasts 18 minutes and is very cold to open skin.
[Time: 7:57 pm]
A moderate storm hits the anchored
ship lasting almost 30 minutes. It has moderate lightning and thunder.
[Apris 20th, 1636TH, South Seas near]
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.
[Time: 8:58 am]
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]
Rain hits the ship again lasting 42
minutes. Barbosa vows to demand a new shift or at least get a tarp!
[Time: 6;20 am]
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.
[Time: 10:13 am]
A light drizzle hits the ship again
for 8 minutes. Mournath growls at his main map almost getting wet.
[Time: 5:45 pm]
Zabyra shows the crew and others
Rogizini style dances including veil and dagger dancing.
[Time: 7:36 pm]
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]
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.
[Time: 6:31 am]
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.
[Time: 2:00 pm]
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.
[Time: 2:32 pm]
The ship docks at Halle with gang plank lowered.
Actions? Comments?
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.

Dorhak: Assume you allow Zabyra to stay?
