Deep Water and Shoals - A Swashbuckling Campaign

[kenjib]

Vemuz turns in to sleep off his fatigue, but his sleep is uncharacteristically restless. In the shadows of the hold the lights dance in eyes that refuse to close shut.

Malthas listens to the story as it is told and retold about the ship.

"Man overboard, eh? Thank the lady he's back safe on board."

He takes up his position at the wheel. "Eh, Malachi, let's avoid those from now on, eh? We've shown we can handle them - no need to test us more...."

 

[Tonguez]

"Ah'll tawk t'dhe Lady" Malachi grins at Malthas as he makes his way back to the stern in order to get some kind of sounding. He has his various other instruments at hand from the primitive Kalam to crossbar and even his treasured Sextant.

Taking his reading he consults his charts, makes a few sightings along the horizon and checks the wind, swells and any other factor that might provide a clue

"Hmmm " he hmms to himself as once more he checks his calculations and then

(Navigation check 18+ 9 = 27

ps Haven't got a map yet - do you give it based on this roll?)

After making sure that Lupe survived the accident, Jonah took his rest below decks. At the morning he continues copying Lupe's map, wanting to return it to him as soon as possible.

OOC: Taking 10 at Craft, Mapmaking should give me 19. I suppose that's enough.

Before his watch, Nico changes clothes into something dry and makes sure that lupe Sanchez is hale.
'Well Mr. Sanchez, ya seem't be a'lookin safe and sound considerin' yer swim. Glad that ther' Sunrod did the Good it did.'
Nico makes his way among all of the crew (telling those he sees to pass along the Word as well).
He tells each group he talks to the following, 'Bring me a coin, a copper'l do. I'll make yer Mark on it an when and if ye fall Overboard (Calypso Protect Us), I kin find ye like'n I did wit Lupe Sanchez.I'll zero in on that Coin and fish ye right back to the ship.'
Nico then brings a small anvil and cutting chisel to do an Marks on coins as he pulls his Watch.

Malachi,

(OOC: Email sent; it contains the ship's current position, shortest course, etc, etc, etc. Yes; the map is based off the roll. My computer's been crashing most of today and a good bit of yesterday...)

Nicodemus,

Port watch quickly forms a circle around you, all handing you their coppers.

"First kind o' life preserver I've seen thet don't float," one sialors comments.

Jonah,

With swift, sure strokes of your pen you sketch out a perfect facsimile of Lupe's map (minus the bloodstains and burn marks). Of course, the map is not complete as the original was full of holes, but it is a reasonably accurate map all the same.

 

[Uriel]

Nico scribes each man's Mark upon their copper.
'Keep these close, Me'Boys, a better Luck piece you co'not have.'

OoC:I'm really glad I made an offbeat non-combat style Wizard. He seems to be useful so far.

 

[garyh]

Bimzoole handed Nico a copper. "You've already saved my life once, friend," the gnome said with a smile, "but if another opportunity arrises, I hope you wouldn't mind doing so again."

 

[Uriel]

Nico smiles at Bim ' Think nothin' of it, my friend. Tis my pleasure to do what I kin for me mates.'

 

[Bob Aberton]

All

Soon, eight bells are heard, and the sailors of Port Watch get up and head gratefully below to catch some sleep.

Mr. Lang sticks his head in the fo'c'sle.

"Starboard Watch! Get up, you shiftless tars, it's your watch!"

(OOC: Nicodemus can go below, as can Malthas, if he chooses. Bimzoole and Vemuz, it is your watch.)

(OOC Malachi: Did you get my email?)
