very well, I ditch my shield and grab the sword
okay, how far is the creature?
okay, how far is the creature?
if it is forty feet away, I'm charging:
Arinka can act.
Since my character is sickened he is doing badly...
I want my thrush to also attack with me.
Not a strong attack but if it hits it always does 1 nonlethal.
alright initiative
Janrose and Malchi both charge in at the small creature which is threatening Caasi, but their nausea, and the shifting sands beneath their feet hamper them. Malchi's staff strikes the sand, and Janrose's swing goes above the creature.
Caasi steps back and fires off a second arrow, hastily drawing it from the quiver dangling loose in his hand. The arrow strikes the sand right between the clawed thing and Malchi's feet.
Meantime Klania heads for her gear and begins grabbing for her rapier and dagger.
Fighting back her queasiness, Arinka surveys the situation and then with a complicated gesture and a word, she sends a bolt of energy from her fingertips, unerringly striking the sea beast. The bolt shatters against the creature, flipping it up and almost over. The creature stops moving.
I shall gather my gear now, particularly my spellbook.
I shall return the borrowed katana to its spot and retrieve my shield and begin looking for my stuff...
I would like to retrieve the rest of my gear. I'd also like to survey my surroundings if there is anything to see.
I will also make sure i have everything but before everyone gets to far away i will channel forth warmth of life back into them (Channel Energy)
As soon as each of us have our equipment i look for any survivors. I will also ask outloud, "Did anyone suspect this to happen?"
[ooc] I didn't heal much but my character (only one hurt) can stand 1 point of damage and it would be a big waste to hit just me with a healing spell. [/occ]
I want to finish gathering my gear and look around to try and see what had happened. (like a shipwreck)
"No little gnome, I did not. But for now, let us try to find any other survivors..."
The battle done, you each begin to collect your gear and your wits. You are standing upon a beach, and it appears to be dawn, as the sun is just rising over the horizon. To the south of you, there is a wall of green, a jungle, filled, by the sounds of it, with a cacophony of life. To the east and west, ragged arms jagged rocks reach out to embrace a wave-tossed cove, while to the north, the waters of the sea surge and churn between the beach and a line of racor-sharp rocks.
There are ten of you on the beach. The other five are just now beginning to stir. Malchi channels out a wave of positive energy. Caasi feels better, the soreness from his leg where the creature pinched him completely disappears.
Some of your gear is wet, but it all appears to be there.
I would like to make a Knowledge (geography) skill check. How do I do that?
"I see a shipwreck down the western half of the coast, could be the Jenivere. The tide is low, we should make our way towards it if we can. If it is the Jenivere, no doubt we will find supplies there. Maybe even more survivors."
"If there is a shipwreck we should check it out."
I would like to make a Knowledge (geography) skill check. How do I do that?
can i instead a profession medic?
If so
if not
"I agree. Searching the wreck will be the most useful thing we can do. If anything that is firewood, and hopefully some supplies that the wreck didn't destroy. We can also see if there is any clues as to what just happened."
"if were going to walk to it, we should try walking along the edge of the cove"
"Itis interesting, is it not, that our gear is in separate piles?"
Heal: 22
Malchi's thrush flutters down and lands on his shoulders.
On the beach, Ishirou stands and looks around blurrily. "What happened," he asks, "Where are we?"
Sasha and Aerys are both beginning to move, as is the Garundi man, whom, you notice, is in shackels.
Gelik remains completely prone.
Knowledge (geography) = 20
oh then can i go and check Gelik? is he breathing? Dead? Unconscious?
Striking conversation with my rogue kin, Klania while on my way to poke Gelik with a stick:
“Judging from the rocks in the water, and the bearings the Jenivere had been traveling over the past few weeks, this is a small island in Desperation Bay, north of Eleder named Smuggler's Shiv"
mmh, looking at the map the DM gave us and knowing that we were going to be near the Mwangi area. maybe we went through the hurricane and floated over here. maybe although that is a long time to float. might explain the gnome unconsciousness.
"There are many rumors about this place. I have heard it said that the shores are haunted by the ghosts and ghouls of those sailors and smugglers who died on the rocks around the island.. also a group of Chelish soldiers were supposedly stranded on the island about 70 years ago, another failed colonization attempt, their cannibalistic descendants still hunting the island looking for shipwrecked sailors to eat. So if we do run into anyone, if the rumors serve to be true, they wont be Mwangi.”
ok.
ok.
Let me know if you find something.
ok.
"Smugglers shiv, Huh? That's welcoming"
oh then can i go and check Gelik? is he breathing? Dead? Unconscious?
You can, and you do.
He is breathing, and as you near, his eyelids flutter.
"Oh, what happened?" he mutters
Also, your ship sailed around the Eye several weeks ago... So it is doubtful that you got caught up in the perpetual hurricane.
“While we are all here still; based on what I know about the island I believe that there might be a lighthouse, on the southwest shore of the island maybe; the remnants of a failed attempt to colonize the island perhaps. Perhaps viable shelter as well, a good place to establish a camp and signal for help? The ship is more or less in that direction. We should look for it after we finish with the wreck.”
The other five, begin gathering up their gear as well, all of them looking a little pale. Malchi notices, however, that his stomach is already feeling some better...
"A place to camp would be nice," says Aerys, she pulls a flask from her hip and then ruefully realizes that it is empty. She does not appear very happy.
You told me it was on the western half of the beach, the jungle to the south, leaving the ocean to the north.
"Did you say Smuggler's Shiv," says Ishirou. He appears thoughtful.
"Sounds like a horrible place," says Sasha, but she is smiling, as if thinking of something pleasant, belying her words.
