Erekose's Savage Tide - Act 1: There is No Honour

[Rystil Arden]

"I've no idea why I'm climbing onto a burning ship...I guess it's just more poor judgment, or I'm the opposite of a rat. Or is that a sinking ship?" Alix wonders, "We need to do something about that fire pronto--don't let Vark pull a Vanthus with yet another Vanderboren ship, right guys? But we also need to be careful--it sounds like there could be dangerous creatures below, though now we know what he was smuggling. If we want to test for creatures, I suggest using Vark's body as bait to see if anything pounces on it. It is unfortunate that we lack the healing to convalesce further before proceeding, but we will just have to make do."

*Alix looks around for buckets or anything else to help put out a fire. Maybe Jerrell knows how that is handled on a ship, but Alix doesn't offhand. If it weren't for the previous Vanderboren ship burning, Vanthus's work and maybe Rowyn's as well, he suspects, thinking of a boat afire when it is surrounded by water would be quite incongruous to him.*

Running to the body of the fallen smuggler, Nathan ignored the first wisps of smoke coming from below decks as he searched the man for any vials that carried the common healing marks. While he might have been content to have his cohorts suffer their wounds, Nathan hoped that Vark did not share that same feeling.

[sblock=ooc]I know it is a long shot, but I don't want to leave Julian down if I can help it.[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Question like that, does gunpowder exist in this world. Just a doubt like that...

Round 8

Alix climbs up on deck while Nathan tries desperately to find another source of healing. Unfortunately none of the bodies on deck have any sort of healing available. At least Julian is stable. Tereg moves closer to the grate over the hold to see if he can make out anything down below.

The smoke continues to build though no sight of yellowish orange flames make their appearance. A loud crash and a cry for help echoes out of the hold as many of the animals' voices rise in volume. The cry for help was definitely human and was quickly silenced (or drowned out by the cacophany).

 

[Rystil Arden]

"What an idiot--Vark's arsonist trapped himself down there, or maybe the animals got him. We need to put out the fire, but we also need to be careful of what might be down there. Tereg, do you have any idea of the fire's source? Be careful."

 

[Manzanita]

Julian coughs and moans, helplessly.

 

[Velmont]

As soon as Jerrell hear the human shout for help, without hesistation, he quickly go into teh boat to seeks the person trapped in the fire.

 

[Ayden]

Hoping that the fire can be dealt with quickly, Nathan picked up his dropped crossbow and followed the longshoreman below decks.

~A summon water spell would be very handy right now...~

[RL Intrudes]

I've emailed Manzanita, RA, and Velmont on this already I think, but I just wanted to let all of you know here that I've recently run into a bit of time issue with work and gaming on here. I'm currently trying to extricate myself from some of the more time consuming obligations that I have on the boards such as judging LEB and LEW. This is one game that I'd like to try my hardest to hang on to. As I clear other things off my plate though, this game needs to lag a bit.

I'm going to take a hiatus for about a week on this one as I straighten other things out. After that week I'll come back and see how things are coming together and let you know at that time.

 

[Manzanita]

OOC: We're all veterans here, having been around for years. This is why I signed up for this game. I"m hoping it will creep along, and have some good months here & there. I'm in it for the long haul.
