Survival checks?

DC 10

Get along in the wild. Move up to one-half your overland speed while hunting and foraging (no food or water supplies needed). You can provide food and water for one other person for every 2 points by which your check result exceeds 10.

Stormwrack (pg 89) modifies this to be a DC 20 check for non-aquatic creatures.

You can survive three weeks without food, Not three months.

Survival check with 200 gnomes aiding ... most of them will survive.

All of them, actually, combined with the 1/2 lb of food for small creatures and Create Food and Water.

How do you fit 200 of anything on a ship? Considering how very few pre-modern ships could fit more than a couple dozen people...

They're very small, them gnomes. They're using the squeezing rules. And some of them know rope trick.

That sounds like a rather uninformed opinion to me.... :\

Especially given that their gnomes, not humans. A gnome only takes up around 2 square feet of space on the floor, and that's if you're giving them a reasonably comfortable amount of space to spread their legs out and not be shoulder-to-shoulder.

For reference, anyway, by the Arms & Equipment Guide a galley has a crew of 200. A smaller sailing ship is listed as having only 20 crew, but it also has a significant cargo capacity. You could easily stuff 100 gnomes on a single deck of the sailing ship, and that's assuming they're just taking up space and not actually working at the oars or on the main deck. 200 gnomes could certainly fit if using more than just 1 deck (and might just all fit on 1 deck anyway, if it's kind of tall and you have lots of hammocks or the like for some of them to rest in, above the floor).

200 dancing lights would be awfully pretty. Maybe doing that at night would spook deepwater fish to the surface, where you could eat them (cleaning and flavoring them with prestigitation).

There you go.

Actually, dancing lights would probably be pretty effective as a fish lure.

Alternately, prestidigitation could almost certainly be used to lure fish... somehow.

Well, if they are tinker gnomes you could toss them a small tool chest and a few hundred pounds of parts and watch the fur fly.

Though that might jsut be a slow way to commit suicide.
