Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Matt" data-source="post: 424561" data-attributes="member: 1213">You sail up the river for about two days, often seeing other ships pass, but never seeing combat.  Rufus often informs you of the surface time  to keep you better oriented, knowing that you really are not used to keeping time so separated from the sun.  You try to observe normal patterns of life, but you always seem to be a little disoriented and never entirely able to internalize Rufus' declarations of time.Suddenly, the boat jolts to a halt, throwing people and objects all around (but o one overboard.  The crew scrambles around to see what the trouble is, while at the same time going for their weapons just in case.  Four wooden box-shaped boats suddenly emerge from the water next to the ship and hatches open on top.  Grappling hooks are thrown onto the ship and drow stream from the boxes.  Two drow on each cover the ships rail with their repeating Xbows while others try to climb up.Rufus, organizing the crew for a hasty defense says "To arms!  Keep the boarders at bay for as long as possible and keep an eye out for the ship who sent the boxes."Aside to the PCs "Just our luck.  The Kraken!  A band of drow pirates who lock down ships using a sophisticated system of hooks and netting from below, while sending warriors in submerged watertight boxes that float with the tide and get caught in the same trap.  A few Sauhugan man the trap and cut free the weights that keep the boxes under water so that the drow can emerge and board.  They are nearly impossible to avoid, and quite fierce."</blockquote>
