Scenes from last night:
Master Jiem exposed his thoughts to the warriors:
If the empire was to be saved from the evil creatures that now inhabited the royal palace, the first step was to get to the continent unnoticed, and search for information about these creatures of darkness. He didn’t know where to start, but sensed there was someone still alive that might have a clue. Other than that, he was as clueless as you, he just counted with his memory about the geography of the land.
After some more conversation and a little coups of wine, they all went to sleep, and had pleasant dreams.
The next morning, everything started early. When the first rays of the rising sun bathed the peaceful shores of the island, the workers were already working.
Both captains had agree that traveling inland with two ships would be a foolish mistake. Instead, they proposed to remodel the old general’s ship, make it quicker and stronger. It won’t be easy, but it was necessary, as Master Jien noted.
So, every villager woke up, two hours before the sunrise, to make the necessary arrangements for the construction of the new ship. Even the baker and his daughter were there, for Leng’s delight.
When our heroes got the beach, they witnessed Wu Fen beach crawling with activity, men coming and going from the town to the sandbeach, carrying sacks of provisions and building materials of diverse nature, tools, etc. Women also helped, making the sails and new uniforms for the new vessel!
From behind came Master Jien smiling at your amusement, and placed a hand on Shen’s shoulder. “The people of Singing Island want to help us even more. Come with me, lets see what we can do to help.”
The warriors follow Master Jien, down to the beach, greeting the villagers they came across.
On top of a few boxes and barking others, the young captain sees you approaching. He shows a white smile to you and jumps down to greet you. “My friends! We are on schedule. These peoples know what hard work is about, not like my lousy sailors! Ha ha” he laughs
From somewhere near, the voice of the older captain sounded loud and clears on the fresh morning’s air. “It seems we have fresh muscle here. There’s plenty of work to be done if we wish to have the ship on the water in about 5 days, so you better be willing to suede.” He stated.
There were many things to do around. A lot of things to carry around; people disorganized, unsolved problems with the building, missing materials…. Many things….
“Time to pick your poison lads” Master Jien said, dusted his hands, and headed to where the carpenter was tinkering with some planks.
OOC: Wel!! We’ll open this chapter two with some handwork!
We’ll make a roll per day for 5 days. You need to succeed at least 4 times per day to account a success. If you fail more than 3 times, you gain a failure.
If you get 3 successes, you win the skill encounter and receive a nice bonus. If not, then you’ll have nothing.
These are the tasks you can perform:
-Old Shin Ling: the eldest woman of the town was in charge of making the sails along with most of the town’s women, but she lost her glasses and no one can find them! Without them she can’t even see where is she stepping on to, how could she oversee the task?
Searching for Shin Ling’s Glasses: Perception DC: 20
One Time Skill
-Helping Wei Dan: the weapon master is busy forging the metal components for the ship, and needs a forge assistant. It’s a hard work, if you are thin and skinny, take a step aside.
Baer with Wei Dan’s tasks: Endurance DC: 25
-Oriental Chaos: Some short witted villagers are putting all their effort in this task, but they seem to be pulling and pushing at the same time. This chaotic working will lead no nothing at the end of the day, someone must organize these people.
Find a simple way: Insight DC: 25
-Dangerous old man: Fumi Sen, the elder fireworks artisan is trying to find out a new formula, to use it to propel projectiles from the ship. His tests often result in explosions of fire. Fortunately he remains unharmed, but he is dangerously near the wood plank piles. Someone must convince him to desist, or help him find his formula before he blows the entire island off the map.
Fire Works!: Diplomacy DC 20, or Knowledge Arcana DC 20
One Time Skill
-Treasures In the sea: The wrecked ships contain quite a lot of wood and valuables for the new vessel. If someone could go there and retrieve some wood or sailing apparels, it could speed up the building process.
Swimming, climbing, jumping: You need to swim to the ship, climb aboard, take what you need and jump back to the water; swimming to the coast will not be hard, pushed by the waves. Athletics: 25, 25, 15. You’ll need to take three rolls, if you win two, you’ll have accounted for two successes for that day.
-An eye on the sky: Keeping a good control over the weather situation for the next days will help schedule the activities more effectively, thus saving time.
Forecast: Knowledge Nature DC: 25
After all has settled down, and the villagers went to their homes, the heroes stayed awake, sharing stories of their past, getting to really know each other.
