[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7527671, member: 9255"] SHADOW WAR SEGMENT 020 “EVIDENCE OF INHABIATANTS” 11/24/18 LHARVION 19, 1003 “Are you sure?” asks Tabask. “Yes.” Answers Dorque. “You will join us today?” comments Xar. “Yes. Explore island.” Answers the warforged as he steps towards the rope ladder hanging off the rails of the ship. It is not pretty but the warforged carefully climbs over the rail. It creaks as he adjusts his grip to descend the ladder to the boat below. Jack is uncertain of this. He remembers how the boat stressed under his weight when leaving Sharn. Ezzy and a few sailors have already left and gone back to the ship from yesterday. So far, they seem to be doing okay. Due to the extra weight, It is only Tabask, Xar, Dorque and Jack going. Jack works the boat away from the ship and towards the reef. Dorque doesn’t seem to have any interest in the reef or the creatures below. Xar checks out a 4 ft long sea turtle as it glides by them a mere three ft under the water’s surface. “So much life is here. Strange with the curse.” “Perhaps. I am trying to figure out this curse. What is it’s function?” “To keep people away.” Comments Jack as he rows the boat carefully away from some reef that is less than three feet away. “Exactly. To keep people away…. Much like this reef. It is a deterrent.” Silence. “Most assume curses are either caste by evil magic users or are a product of magic gone awry. What if it was done on purpose…. Not for evil but protection.” Silence. Tabask decides this is not the time nor the group to discuss this with. They clear the reef and soon find themselves at the beach. They pull the row boat far up the beach. Dorque places it by a tree and waits for the next task to be done. They begin to go deeper into the island. A few trails made by boars can be found. The two trackers feel it is a mix of normal and dire boar that have used this trail. Possible food. Mid day they find an old pack. It is very weathered and has holes in it. Checking it out, they find damaged clothes, a CLW potion and one where the potion container was broken. Seems to be maybe 2-3 years old. Curious. Coming out of a thick grouping of brush, they enter a field and see something new. There are three unicorns grazing. One picks its head up and watches the group intently. “Horses with a horn.” Comments Dorque- completely without emotion. “This is a good omen.” Adds Xar cupping his eyes to better see them. From his vantage point, he can just barely see them through the tall grass. “Creatures of good. On a cursed island. This island is very curious indeed.” Comments the cleric to no one. They watch the majestic animals for several minutes before the unicorns snort and wander back into the brush and no longer can be seen. Turning back, they come into a new clearing. On the other side of a clearing is a moving mass of purple, yellow and white. They avoid it rather than investigate it. [DM NOTE: 1000’s of harmless butterflies] They return to the boat and then the ship. As they near The Azure Dragon, they notice the crew is looking over the water team’s row boat. It looks damaged. They were caught with a rogue wave that pushed them into the exposed reef. It takes on water now. It will take a few days to repair. Tabask looks it over and uses a spell he has prepared in case this occurred to them- he magically mends it. The Captain and crew are happy. Also happy when it is learned a small chest of coins was discovered. The coins date back to the Galifar government ruling. The coins are several hundred years old. [/QUOTE]
