DM Dan - On the waves again... Monday March 23rd, 2020 7:23:26 PM
Between Falco and Angus, they manage to pull Falco back on board, just leaving the other crewmember overboard.
Kiwina is still preparing his spell, Rolth is still trying to ensure everyone is competent while Falco ties himself off and goes to help Kiwina.
Elyas goes to ensure Falco is brought back on board safely.
As Falco and Angus crash to the deck together in a heap the ship lists the other way, but with Elyas' help, both Falco and Angus make it to their feet. You can see the crewmember who has already been thrown overboard slowly slipping further away, he will be out of sight shortly. (he is perhaps 20 feet of the stern as it stands, and the ship isn't moving too fast with all this storm, but it is still moving.) You can see him wave at you as he treads water, desperately trying to keep his head above the waterline.
Ramsay and some of the other crewmembers are tying themselves off on deck as well to try and help support you wherever possible, they are just awaiting instructions.

Angus grabs a rope and after quickly checking that one end is securely fastened, he dives in with the other end to swim to the sailor who's overboard.

Kiwina (Steve M) 68/68 HP | AC:12 (armorless) | HeP: 5 | Status: None Monday March 23rd, 2020 10:23:40 PM
Kiwina ties off the rope he pulled out last round.
Meanwhile, the spirits attract the attention of a dolphin, which appears in the water beside the sailor.
DM: Highlight to display spoiler: {(The spirits use a Summon Nature's Ally I to bring the dolphin. Since I have no way to talk to it and there are no enemies for it to attack, I'm hoping it will hang out for the two rounds and that the sailor has the presence of mind not to use it but do so gently. Meanwhile, readying the rope.)}

Rolth summons a big kettle drum with a tight skin, ties it off to Kiwina's rope and hurls it as far towards the sailor in the water as possible.
STR check = 11
He will suggest to Kiwina and the crew that we slow the ship as much as possible while keeping enough headway to stay pointed into the waves.

Elyas sees the man slipping further and further away. he knows from experience as a sailor that this is very bad for the crewmember and that the window for saving him will close quickly. he has a sudden idea that he has never tried before using a new spell. he tries to go through the motions of casting this new spell while being tossed around on the rolling deck (DC = 15 + spell level = 18) first attempt = 16. hero point reroll = 23, success! 1 hero point remaining now
Suddenly to the others' view it looks like Elyas has also been swept overboard!
but then his head reappears above the railing of the ship. he's flying! he flies over to the struggling sailor and holds out a hand, grabbing the man.
Falco Ambersier (Ryan M) Status: Fatigued | 19/39 HP | | AC 19 (T15/F15) | Channel (2d6) 5/5 | Hero Point 6/6 | | +1 Longbow: +10 Tuesday March 24th, 2020 3:41:21 PM
Tied off and not sure how to help Falco looks for a light rope that he could tie off to an arrow. His bow might be strong enough to get a rope out further then a throw. He is certainly not going to swim.

Angus dives in after the cremember, while Kiwina summons a dolphin to help the man Tsak waits until the man is nearby to help haul him back on board. Rolth throws over a sort of makeshift flotation device over to the man, while Elyas begins to fly over to him. Falco attempts to find a lighter rope, and does so quickly and easily.
The man first of all grabs onto the dolphin, which keeps him afloat as Angus makes his way over to him. They both grab onto the dolphin as the rope from Rolth lands about half way between the ship and the crewmember. Ramsay and the rest of the crew begin to slow the ship down, but with the storm and the rain it is proving a bit tougher than normal.
The ship, still moving slowly forward begins pulling Angus along with it, ((Please make a Strength Check Angus to hold onto the dolphin and/or the sailor, you can choose to grab one or both. Grabbing both would be harder, grabbing the crewmember will help him and bring him along, grabbing the dolphin will keep you afloat))

Tsak helps Angus and the sailor aboard once they are close enough.
DM Dan - On the waves again... Thursday March 26th, 2020 4:16:19 AM
Angus grabs onto the dolphin, but his grip slips, however coupled with the rope around his waist and his strong swimming he manages to keep near the boat.
Kiwina helps the rest of the crew slow the ship down enough that Angus and the crewman can catch up.
Falco breathes a sigh of relief that everything seems in hand.
Rolth continues his song to inspire people to do better.
Tsak prepares to help Angus and the crewmember back on board.
The crewmember and Angus reach the side of the ship and begin clambering up it and being helped over the side by Tsak, the fall exhausted in a heap on the deck, the rest of the crew swarming to ensure they're secured. After a few moments they are all safe and secure.
"We'll have to ride out this storm, we can either drop anchor here and ride it out without moving, but it'll use up some time, or we can continue to sail through it, which'll keep us on schedule, but may be dangerous, what do you think Petals?"

Kiwina (Steve M) 68/68 HP | AC:12 (armorless) | HeP: 5 | Status: None Thursday March 26th, 2020 8:39:04 AM
Kiwina helps the crew reef the sails and batten down. They're not close enough to land to seek shelter, so he prefers the safer course.

Elyas flies over the crew member and dolphin, making sure they are safe. he keeps the flight spell active, allowing him to move around the ship easily to secure ropes and such as needed.
when the question of what to do next is raised, Elyas voices his agreement with Falco and Kiwina. no point in making a risky move when we are not on a tight timeline.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (50/50 HP | AC: 16; Touch: 12; CMD: 21) | Thursday March 26th, 2020 11:26:18 AM
Rolth agrees with the safer plan as well. He'll assist Captain Kiwina and the crew in preparing for that.

Tsak looks pver Angus, slumped and sodden on the deck. Lucky you're not a fish, I'd have to throw you back! He then sets about making sure they survive the next few hours.
DM Dan - On the waves again... Friday March 27th, 2020 7:06:52 AM
Ramsay nods.
"Agreed. We'll batten everything down, then go below decks, we will have to leave a few crewmembers up here to keep an eye out for anything... unless some of yourselves want to volunteer?"
After asking and getting the answers, Ramsay, yourselves and all the crewmen begin locking everything down, strapping it in and securing it. Then, those not on watch go below decks to stay dry and fresh.
Any of you who wish to have a rotation above deck please roll either Profession (Sailor) or Perception.

While he is, Kiwina notices the break in the storm. He informs Ramsey and the Petals -- it may be better over there, but getting there would require everyone man the deck in the storm.

Mak did his best to stay useful as the journey continued.
Elyas stays below deck for most of the time unless called up by one of the others. he tries to read his spellbook for a bit, but the tossing and moving makes that hard so he goes to his bunk, letting the motion rock him to sleep.
DM Dan - On the waves again... Saturday March 28th, 2020 5:56:23 AM
Ramsay comes on deck.
"I think we should make a break for it... even some respite would be good."
The crew all start working hard to move the ship towards the break in the storm, the ship moves along at a good speed and you quickly make it out of the storm, allowing full bright sunlight back onto the ship, and you see you have escaped the large storm handily.
As the sun goes down Ramsay calls you all together.
"We have a choice to make, tomorrow we'll be going past some reefs. We can try to sail through, it'll be harder, but also a lot quicker. Or, we can go the long way round, which will avoid the reefs but perhaps add a day or two onto our travel. You guys are in charge, so tell me what you think."

You quickly begin working together as the wind picks up, taking you swiftly towards Shipwreck Shoals, and your familiarity with it comes in very handy as you pick your way through, there are a couple of close calls, but all in all you make it neatly through. Ramsay is pleased with you.
It takes you all day to navigate your way through, but you make it well in time.
"That will have shaved about three days off our trip, we should be at Chessford in the next three or four days."
He smiles widely.
"I should have known that you would have easily made it through given you've already passed this way once before. It should be smooth sailing the rest of the way."

As the creatures get closer, you can see that they are harpies, and they're coming straight for the boat. A moment or two after this realisation, you hear Ramsay's voice call out loudly.
"FOG BANK INCOMING!!" And he points towards port, the opposite direction from the harpies, and you see what looks like an avalanche of fog, rolling towards the ship, almost moving as if it had a purpose, and was angry at you for some reason. Within just a few moments the ship is completely engulfed by the fog, reducing your visibility down to only about eighteen, maybe twenty feet. The harpies were heading straight for you, there were perhaps about ten of them, heading straight at the masts and the rigging.
((We're now in combat time, please let me know where your characters are, and where they might want to move to given the lack of vision, I'll then make up some sort of map for the combat, you have perhaps one round to prepare before the harpies arrive.))

He considers if the fog is a magical effect while his hands move on their own to ready an arrow in case a target comes close enough. (Spellcraft: 28} {Readied Arros Hit: 27 | Damage: 9}

remembering the fog that was involved last time in the fight in the goblin caves against the so-called Ghost, Elyas attempts to remove the fog, trying a dispel magic spell on it before even taking the time to determine if it is magical. he assumes it might be magic based on how quickly and directly it overcame the ship.

You can barely see after the fog rolls in. Covering the ship in a thick grey soup, preventing you seeing much from far away. However you can hear it, the creatures are screeching and flying at the rigging on the ship. just loud enough and just close enough that you can make out their shapes, but cannot reach them with melee weapons, you'll either have to climb the rigging, (DC 0 climb check) or climb onto the rigging or the masts. If you want to attack them with a melee weapon you'll have to climb out onto the spars. (DC 5 acrobatics check)
Falco - Highlight to display spoiler: {The fog is not magical.}
Both Falco and Mak let loose their shots, and you hear the squawk and screech and a splash as something falls into the water, however those seemed to be lucky shots, even Falco and Mak will need to climb up to get more clear shots.
((There is the layout, I'm not sure if it's editable or not, but if not just tell me where you move and I'll move you as needed))
As they approach, four of the harpies begin singing, thankfully, Rolth's countersong immediately manages to prevent you all falling for it.
The harpies are swarming the rigging, slashing and scratching at it and the sails with their talons, causing rents and cuts all across it. They're frenzied like piranha swarming over some meat, ripping and tearing in crazed attacks.

(Attack=17, Dmg=9) Tsak yells to Angus Lets group our shots and aim for the same target, that way they are less able to evade us. What about that one? (he points to H8)
Tsak fires at the harpy which is gleefully attempting to shred the sails near him.

Kiwina can barely make out three harpies above him and nearer the mast. He casts a faerie fire at the center one (H9), hoping it might catch the others as well and maybe make them easier to follow in the fog.

Rolth moves to the mast and begins climbing (he should make it up about 12.5 feet.) He will ready another countersong in case new harpies begin to sing, and be prepared to take an attack of opportunity.

[I'm not on the map yet, just put me next to Rolth for now.]
Elyas is a little surprised when the fog is not dispelled. perhaps it was just a coincidence that it hit at exactly the same minute as the harpies? or maybe they were waiting for the fog to roll in before attacking. watching their frenzied attacks, Elyas doubts that is the case.
seeing them flying among the rigging and sails, Elyas tries to catch a few of them with a giant web strung between the mast and some of the sails and rigging. (i can't edit the map yet and I'm not sure what the relative heights are for the harpies. aiming for whatever stretch i can hit that will catch a few harpies without trapping allies. 20ft radius spread)

Mak couldn't see a thing in this fog and even when Kiwina rimmed the harpies in faerie fire the light from that was so dispersed by the mist there was only a large glowing area. Mak closed his eyes and sighted by sound alone as he fired at the screeching sounds above.

Tsak fires, into the eighth harpy, causing it to screech back at him in pain. The ninth harpy suddenly becomes illuminated, unfortunately it is only the ninth one. Rolth's new countersong helps protect you from the previous singing harpies, and the two new ones that joined in this round. Elyas' magic does nothing to dispel the fog. Mak's attack connects with the ninth harpy, causing it to screech in pain and fall down dead ((as per the e-mail, it loses the benefit of the concealment from the fog while Farie Fire is active, meaning all your attacks hit and I rolled some pretty high damage for ya)), while Falco comfortable scrambles up the rigging.
Most of the harpies continue their relentless assault on the ship itself, trying to damage it so much that it won't go anywhere. However harpy number eight has moved over to attack Tsak, whom it strikes for 3 points of damage.
The Harpies that are singing are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 in case anyone is interested.
The crewmen are desperately trying to raise the sails and drop anchor while the fog is going on, but it appears that by a stroke of misfortune, one of the harpies has managed to sever the rope to raise the mainsail, and there's no way to know which way the ship is heading now.

Rolth keeps climbing the mast, and readies another countersong in case more begin to sing. He remains prepared to exploit an opportunity attack if one of the harpies move's through his glaive's reach, with priority going to any whose singing we have not already successfully resisted.

Kiwina reaches into his haversack and pulls out a tanglefoot bag. Watching the harpies, he finds their wheeling is somewhat predictable. He throws the bag at H6, in hopes it might crash into the water.
(This is a ranged touch attack with a tanglefoot bag, with favored enemy bonuses since harpies are monstrous humanoids. It hits AC 19 if H6 is 10' away, AC 17 if it's with 20'.)

Rolth is now two thirds of the way up the mast, and his counter song is is helping prevent the harpies songs, as the last three start singing.
Mak fires at H8, and you all ear the song stop for a brief moment as it becomes injured.
Kiwina's bag brings H6 crashing down onto the deck as it becomes all wrapped up
Elyas' web has trapped H10 and H4 as they move forward to attack Rolth as he climbs up the rigging. his lightening bolt fairs well and only one of the three harpies manages to avoid the majority of the damage.
Falco fires shots, having been resistant to the Singing thanks to Rolth's Countersong!
The harpies move forward to attack Rolth on the mast, they scratch at him with their talons and slam into him with their claws and body slam him some. He takes a total of 17 points of damage, thankfully, now the harpies are caught in the web and have to free themselves.
The other harpies continue to attack the rigging, it seems to be pretty damaged at this point. You'll have to do something fast, otherwise this might take days to repair!

Rolth takes advantage of H10 and H4 being snagging in the webbing to charge out the spar toward H3. He continues to sing his furious song to hold their shrieking tune at bay, while he tears into H3 in a fit of rage.

Elyas sees that his attack was effective, but the harpies are so focused on attacking the rigging that even a lightning bolt didn't scatter them! Well, if you're not going to move, lightning is going to strike twice!
[ooc: this move is assuming that the map is correct and that H1,2,3 all stayed put and are still in line for another shot. if not the case I'll redo my move]
Elyas touches the hilt of his bonded dagger, instantly recalling his spell even though it has been cast (arcane bond to remember lightning bolt). he stretches out a hand again, and once more lightning flashes through a series of harpies.

Mak hadn't moved from his spot and was still firing blind into the fog. That he had hit one heartened him though and he took aim at another random harpy that was continuing it's horrible song. Had he been able to see through the fog he'd have been amazed that the four legged Rolth was able to scale the mast so easily.

Rolth kills H3 single handed, while Tsak and Angus finish off H8, Kiwinia stieks H7 for some damage and and earns a shriek in return, while Elyas finishes off H2 with a lightening bolt, and attracts the now very angry H1. Mak fires at H7, also earning a shriek as it moves over and attacks Kiwina.
However H10 has freed itself from the web has flown up and attacked Tsak, however it misses.
Kiwina is not so lucky and takes 7 points of damage from the furious assault of the harpy.

After two strikes of lightning one harpy is still coming right at him. Elyas yelps and runs towards more allies when he realizes he is all alone against the creature. (Move to Y-11)

Rolth sees that brave Elyas is more than in control of the situation below, and so turns his rage on the harpy already within his reach (H4). He continues his fight song as he unleashed a flurry of feline fury (full attack), but his anger seems a little unfocused after his recent successes.

Mak rested his back against the aft castle of the ship and listened as best he could. He thought he'd hit a few times, but he'd already shot quite a few arrows into impenetrable fog. He waited for a screech and targeted that sound and let three arrows fly in rapid succession. Even though Mak didn't know if he'd hit or not, the three arrows rocketed through the rigging and landed in the water hundreds of feet away. He'd missed with all three shots.

((Rolth will need to come down from the mast to get to H4 and H10, as they are on deck with Kiwina, I'm going to assume he climbs halfway down this turn and can make it down next turn))
Between all of the actions you take, you manage to fell both H10 and H4, as they had already been injured. H6 finally breaks free of the tanglefoot bag and lets out a howl, thankfully it does not begin to sing. It just screeches from the edge of the boat at all who come near.

Angus shoots at H6
(15 to hit, if successful, 7 points of damage)

Kiwina gestures at H6, which is pushed around by a sudden wind (K uses his storm burst -- ranged touch attack hitting AC 31 for 6 points of nonlethal damage. In addition, the target is buffeted by winds and rain, causing it to take a –2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round.)
While the bird-brain is discomfitted, Kiwina picks up the weapon he had to drop earlier.

Rolth finishes his climb down to the deck, gestures to the Petals to hold their attacks in readiness, and calls out in fury to the last harpy, "Who sent you to attack us? Why did you try to disable our sails? What were your further orders? Tell us or you die here and now!" He also readies his countersong in case the evil thing tries to sing again.

Elyas stands behind Rolth, giving him a chance to talk to the creature. if that doesn't seem to go well he will help kill it off, but after the last incident he will not be the first one to attack someone that is being questioned by the party....
Tsak loads a bolt in readiness, but holds it to see if the creature will respond to Rolth. If it attacks, so will he. If it talks he will hear it out.

While some of you try to reason with the creature, others attack it, however the Harpy ignores all your please and screeches at Rolth unleashing a flurry of different strikes against him giving no quarter and doing 13 points of damage to him, it keeps howling and screaming, it doesn't even appear to be moving normally but in erratic, jerky ways.

We can investigate its corpse! Flank it, Kiwina!" Rolth takes a five foot step toward the side of the ship in hopes that Kiwina will move up to flank the creature, and launches his own barrage of blows.
(Add an additional +2 to each to hit roll if Kiwina or someone else is able to flank H6) Morning star to hit = 22, damage = 14 Paw 1 to hit = 15, damage = 6 Paw 2 to hit = 18, damage = 7 Bite to hit = 11, damage = 6

(Attack=29, Dmg=3) Tsak is now convinced that the harpy won't stop till it's dead. He fires again...

Kiwina moves to P10/Q11 and attacks the harpy with his longspear. (Hits AC 18 (20 if flanking) for 14 damage)

Elyas hangs back, not wanting to get in the way or hit an ally with a spell. practicing with spells he hadn't used in a while is proving to be an issue, as several of his spells today are fire-based and not a good plan on a ship...

Angus climbs down from the crows nest.
Is this type of attack normal for these creatures, maybe someone or something directed them to attack the ship?

Mak could hear everyone talking, but he still couldn’t see what was happening so he stayed put and waited on orders from the captain.

Between Kiwina, Rolth and Tsak, they manage to fell the final harpy
You defeat the final harpy, and it dies with a horrid screech as it's death rattle. Ramsay looks up at the sails and rigging and lets out a sigh.
"They've done substantial damage to it... I've never known harpies to be so aggressive or attack a ship's rigging so aggressively..." Ramsay sends a couple of crewmen to take a closer look. There are the bodies of three of the harpies on the deck, after a few minutes Ramsay speaks up again.
"Well it looks like they really damaged all the rigging and sails, it'll take us some time to repair. A day or so, less if you guys can help too."

It’s like someone is trying to sabotage our diplomatic mission. Speaking of which, what direction did they come from? Maybe that is a clue too."

Falco quickly moves to Rolth and heals hims. {Healing Rolth: 17} He then moves in further and channels for the rest of the group. {Channel: 17}

Elyas looks over the damage to the ship.
They seemed very set on disabling our ship, and didn't start attacking us until we fought them. why would they do that?
Elyas will do what he can to help get the ship fixed as quickly as possible. profession sailor = 16 to determine what needs to be done.
he will then use Mending where needed to quickly get the sails repaired, working on a small section at a time, but steadily making progress across the various rends and tears.

Although Kiwina would love to work on the problem of where the harpies came from, his firsf priority is the ship. And unless the fog burned off as suddenly as it came, he'd rather be still for the moment than sailing through it. He helps set the ship and starts inspecting the damage.
"Mak, can you see or hear trouble from up there, if any more comes on us?"
As he sets about his tasks, he appears preoccupied with the recent attack. Sailor = 22 Craft boats = 9 Perception = 21

Tsak stays in the Crows Nest keeping lookout as best he can in the fog. Every now and then he closes his eyes and concentrates on listening for a few minutes.
Mak called back to Kiwina, “Thick as pea soup here captain. I’ll make for the aft castle and see if the view is any better.
Seeing what was in front of him wasn’t a problem, so Mak moved up the steps into the aft deck and took a position at the stern rail to listen for anything that might aid them or warn them of danger.
