You must be feeling just as horrible as we are and you’re still doing all the work.” She drops her gaze, wipes her eyes, and finds her bow. Its string has been ruined by seawater, but she pulls a spare bowstring from her pouch and restrings it.Aerys snorts. “This is pointless,” she grumbles. But she nevertheless gets shakily to her feet.“I agree,” says Gelik. “Saving your lives is purely wasted effort.”Aerys stares down at him for a long, long moment. “My word, but you’re a repulsive little troll,” she says finally, turning away to retrieve her weapons.Oddly enough, Gelik laughs at this. He gets to his feet as well.Ishirou stares blankly out to sea, still as a man cast in stone. He seems to pay no attention to Takahaan’s words, but when Aerys gets up he rises as well and picks up his katana.The group makes its way slowly along the shore to the wreck of the Jenivere. The ship, a gaping hole in its hull, leans against the rock face like a legless drunk. Tied to it is a lifeboat, now splintered beyond repair. On the deck near the lifeboat lies the body of a crewman, face down.Unfortunately, the tide has come in somewhat, and there is no easy way to get to the ship. It might be feasible to swim, though the prospect of nasties in the water might give one pause. One also might climb around the slippery rock face to reach the deck. Both options look dangerous. The safest method would be simply to wait until the tide goes out again in the evening, but that is many hours away.[sblock=Getting to the wreck]Either swimming or climbing to the wreck requires a DC 17 Athletics check. If you fail, you still get there eventually, but you lose a healing surge.Sasha will try to make the climb if you tell her to, but it looks pretty scary to her. None of the other NPCs will make the attempt (and Jade would never be able to succeed anyway).Alternatively, you can just wait for the tide to go out, but that will happen in the early evening, and it’s only about 11am now.[/sblock]</blockquote>
