Matthew S. Co-DM - Rose Quest Day 16 morning (Co-DM Matt) d20=20 ; d20=13 ; d20=7 ; Thursday August 31st, 2017 9:17:34 PM
FAREWELL TO SCRIBNER:
Finnian is happy with the arrival of the druids and says, "If you would excuse me but I have become fascinated with what you have been able to do here. How does one learn to draw on the powers of the Wold? I have some skill in creating things from it," he showes the bow he crafted to them "and sometimes i feel like the wood speaks to me, but I wish I could work with things that aren't already dead. This Wold has so much power, can I learn t commune with it as you do?" He finishes his interrogation and meekly returns his bow to his back. One of the druid smiles. He stands in front of the others and offers a warm handshake. “The Wold has many mysteries,” he begins. “I assume you are curious about the skillful uses of the Whistal trees. The tree, itself is very kind to our intrusion. The trees are said to be magical. You are young, I would not concern yourself with wishes. You have talent and your skills with improve.”
Tsak thanks everyone for the healing.
ON THE DOCK and SHIP:
Tsak inquires about a potion to cure sickness and the vendor says he has a pair available for one token.
Kiwina offers his token for the ride on the Herald and the captain happily takes it. He turns, bites on the token and welcomes everyone to the ship.
Rolth thanks Kiwina and confirms with the Captain that they will need his services for the entire trip. Rolth searches for some backup flotation devices. A sailor, a dwarf with red hair, comments that they have some floating rings you could possibly use but it’s unlikely they will save anything bigger than an average human.
Sable and Lomocia have tokens but they are not needed at the moment. Sable is happy to head to the shoals and back to finish the taurnament.
Falco is concerned by the tale and brings up the organizers of the taurnament but, once aboard the Herald the captain tells Falco the sad truth is sailing is troublesome at times. The area around the shoals is always treacherous. The crew was experienced but had never sailed near the shoals. “It’s unfortunate.”
Gothruk replies with a vote of confidence and the captain smiles. “Ya, gotta love the seas,” the captain says.
---
The Herald sits within the water. Perception vs DC: 7 Highlight to display spoiler: { You notice that the holes in the ship sit below the waterline but strangely no water comes in. } Suddenly, the boat begins to rise and the elementals appear at the ship’s side. They lift the ship, as a crowd begins to grow on shore, then the ship is seaward bound to the Shoals.
(OOC: On the ship - DC 10 Fort save or become nauseated for the rest of the day.)
Kiwina (Steve M) (16/16 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:15) | Status: None d20+7=10 ; d20+5=24 ; Thursday August 31st, 2017 9:43:45 PM
(rolls: perception = 10, fortitude = 24)
Kiwina enjoys the ride this time even more than last. He wishes his still had is catamaran.
Rolth Niheow (MarkBat) (16/16 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 17) | Glaive +3 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +1 1d4+1 x2| Status: None d20+2=11 ; Thursday August 31st, 2017 9:44:02 PM
This time around, Rolth seems to have found his sea legs and shrugs off the rough ride. (Fort Save = 11) He spends his down time catching up on his tattoos, marking the Petals' progress through the Taurnament.
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC15 (T13/F12) 12/12 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Status: None d20=18 ; d20+5=15 ; Thursday August 31st, 2017 11:20:22 PM
(Fortitude=18, Perception for spoiler=15) Tsak buys two healing potions, handing over his token, and puts them in his sack. He lets Finnian know about the sickness potions in case he desires them for the next two trips on the Herald. He shares a grin with Kiwina as the ship takes off, then finds a place on the boat where he can have the wind in his hair and the sun on his face to enjoy the journey to the shoals.
Sable (Don) (15/15 HP | AC: 15/17; Touch: 11; Flat: 13/15; CMD: 18) | Status: Stern d20+6=25 ; d4=2 ; d20+3=15 ; Friday September 1st, 2017 2:09:18 AM
Sable is fascinated with the holes in the ship that appear not to allow water in (Perception 25), his focus on the mystery distracts him from the nautical nausea (Fort 15). Once underway, he decides to probe one of the holes see if he can reach through and touch water...
Once again Falco is thrilled by the manner of transport AND once again he immediately becomes ill while traveling rending him nearly useless.
Gothruk Gore (Logan) AC 12 (T11/F10) 12/12HP |Guisarme +3 2D6+4| Status: None d20+3=6 ; d20+5=14 ; Friday September 1st, 2017 8:00:20 AM
Fortitude save=1D20+3=6=failure Perception = 1D20+5=Success
Gothruk is briefly surprised when his usually strong stomach gives out and he's left feeling nauseated. His attention is quickly re-directed to finding a hole he can sit near so he has fresh air and an easy place to void his stomach if need be.
Lomocia (Koby) (HP:6/6; AC: 12; Touch: 10; Flat: 10; CMD: 10) d20+4=13 ; Friday September 1st, 2017 3:49:26 PM
Lomocia is glad to be back on the ship. The waves again do not affect her much and she resides to a less populated area of the ship to be alone with her thoughts.
Finnian (Zeke) (HP:10/11; AC: 16; Touch: 13; Flat: 13; CMD: 17) Status: Hurtin' d20+6=18 ; d20=9 ; Friday September 1st, 2017 4:08:23 PM
[perception=18,Fort=9] Finnian's smile widens when the druid says that he has talent. "Thank you" he says to the druid.
Down at the docks he notices that the holes sit below the water line. it's just unnatural he thinks to himself as he steps aboard the ship and instantly becomes sick again.
Matthew S. Co-DM - Rose Quest Day 16th to morning (Co-DM Matt) d20=8 ; d20=3 ; d20=13 ; Friday September 1st, 2017 10:05:11 PM Tsak buys a pair of potions and puts them in his sack. He then talks to Finnian,Rolth, Kiwina and Lomocia seem pretty relaxed. The Herald rides along the water relatively smoothly this time, which is no help to Gorthuk and Falco and Finnian who become sick. It skates through the water easily. Sable wonders about the holes in the ship but finds that it’s solid. His hand stops just before touching the water. His perception tells him that this may just be a very good illusion. Sable only Highlight to display spoiler: { pokes the area in front of the hole, he suddenly receives a small sliver. The sliver does not appear right away but, as he pulls his hand away the sliver appears brown and stuck halfway in. } The captain tries to keep everyone busy with maintenance on the ship. Perception vs DC: 8 Highlight to display spoiler: { A storm brews ahead of the ship. It looks like the Herald is headed right for it.}
(OOC: On the ship - DC 10 Fort save or become nauseated for the rest of the day.)
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC15 (T13/F12) 12/12 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Status: Sea Sick d20+5=12 ; d20=3 ; Saturday September 2nd, 2017 12:20:26 AM
(Perception vs spoiler=12, Fortitude=3) Unfortunately for Tsak the good weather doesn't last long, and neither does his good humor. As the once friendly breeze picks up and whips the sea into a chop his stomach starts to lurch and heave. Joining Gothruk, Falco and Finnian at the rail he does his best to ride it out.
Sable (Don) (15/15 HP | AC: 15/17; Touch: 11; Flat: 13/15; CMD: 18) | Status: Stern d20+6=14 ; d20+3=13 ; d20+4=10 ; d20+1=13 ; Saturday September 2nd, 2017 2:54:46 AM
Sable's gaze goes to the horizon as the boat begins to heave (Perception 14). He is able to keep his cud down in his second stomach in spite of the nasty turn (Fort 13). Looking at the oncoming storm, he tries to gage it's severity (Knowledge Nature 10).
Finally, he begins to remove the wooden splinter from his hand. (Untrained Heal 13 = 10) and says, "I recommend you don't try and empty your stomach in one of these holes, you will just make a mess..."
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (16/16 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 17) | Glaive +3 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +1 1d4+1 x2| Status: None d20+2=15 ; d20+7=13 ; Saturday September 2nd, 2017 8:04:11 AM
Rolth continues to enjoy the salt spray of the open ocean. (Fort save = 15, success) He eyes the coming storm, but trusts the Captain to manage his ship, and sets about the maintenance tasks with gusto. (Perception = 13, success) As they work, he sidles up to Sable and companionably says, "Ho, Bridge Isle brother. So far, the liontaur and centaur have each claimed a Rose. I think it would be auspicious for you to complete the trifecta if it can be so arranged. I suspect that this quest is about more than Roses, and it would be good if we can be a symbol of the coming unification of all Taurs, allowing our noble nature to show forth once again."
Kiwina (Steve M) (16/16 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:15) | Status: None d20+7=11 ; d20+3=17 ; Saturday September 2nd, 2017 11:04:49 AM
(Rolls: perception = 11, fortitude = 17)
Kiwina is practically back home on this ship. He makes himself useful while she speeds towards the shoals. Still, he is not quite comfortable about the storm, thinking that the captain has proven his worth with water elementals but not yet with air.
Gothruk Gore (Logan) AC 12 (T11/F10) 12/12HP |Guisarme +3 2D6+4| Status: None d20+5=24 ; Sunday September 3rd, 2017 8:47:07 AM
Gothruk heeds Sable's advice and moves from the hole he was at to the railing. He also noticed what's on the horizon. (Perception 1D20+5=24) He'll listen into Rolth's convocation with Sable. "I wouldn't mind it if the group let me secure the final flower" He thinks to himself. "It would be of good use in stories or occasional bragging." This make him smile briefly before his stomach, affronted by the lack of attention, nearly brings up his last meal.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (16/16 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 17) | Glaive +3 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +1 1d4+1 x2| Status: None Sunday September 3rd, 2017 9:36:07 AM
Rolth notices Gothruk's ears perk up during his conversation with Sable, and remarks, "I intend no disrespect to you, Gothruk, you certainly have earned my respect and more than carried your weight with the Eight Petaled Rose. I merely brought this suggestion to Sable first because we started this quest together with Kiwina on Bridge Isle, with this common purpose in mind.
I am sure that Sable would not begrudge you this honor if fate brings it within your grasp, is that not right, Sable?
For we all have multiple ties that tug on our souls, like mine with Finnian here, my WLA brother in arms. Right, Finnian?"
(OOC: BatMark is fine with anyone winning us the Rose, but the interaction with Sable was in character role playing based on our shared backstory. ADM BatMark also offers this as a chance for Sable and Finnian to get their fifth post in for the week with a simple reply, in case they were at a loss for anything else to do after vomiting or not :)
Sable (Don) (15/15 HP | AC: 15/17; Touch: 11; Flat: 13/15; CMD: 18) | Status: Stern Sunday September 3rd, 2017 1:27:19 PM
Sable says, "No problem if someone else finds the last Rose, but I would not mind harvesting one as well. What I do want, is a return trip to Centaur Isle later for a chance to trade for some wood."
Finnian (Zeke) (HP:10/11; AC: 16; Touch: 13; Flat: 13; CMD: 17) Status: Hurtin' d20=4 ; Sunday September 3rd, 2017 6:42:46 PM
[fort=4...] Finnian continues to retch during the journey and even though he can hear the conversations going on around him he has no desire to participate.
Falco Ambersier (Ryan M) (7/7 HP | AC: 13; Touch: 13; Flat: 11; CMD: 12) | 7/7 Acid Dart | Lt Crossbow +3 1d6 x2 | Status: Mage Armor AC17 d20+2=7 ; Monday September 4th, 2017 8:10:18 AM
Falco's mode quickly went from excited by the ship to crestfallen to once again find himself sick. He perks up hearing Rolth's conversation, wanting to join in "belch" is all he gets out. Shaking his head he trys to find a spot to lay down.
