Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

OOC: So there are lots of other boats/'buildings'/etc. close? More than just the 'Sheet will be rocked by the wave?

There are lots of other boats around. The swell passed under a floating walkway without destroying it, just bouncing it around good.

[sblock=For GNurl only]There are no other ships or floating walkways within easy Gnome leap of the side of the 'Bedsheet. There is no 'dry land' to speak of at Mermaid's Rest. If all the ships left there would only be few small rock outcrops sticking up out of the water--none bigger than a modest house. Indeed larger waves occationally overtop them.[/sblock]

Those of you coming onto the deck may roll spot checks. Please only open the spoiler for your result not the higher ones.

[sblock=0-5]You blink helplessly in the sudden brightness on deck after being in the dim cabin.[/sblock]

[sblock=6-9]Shading your eyes against the mid-afternoon sun you note several crewmen looking aft, but can't get a clear view.[/sblock]

[sblock=10-14]Moving onto a clear space at the rail you look aft and see an odd wave moving toward the Rumpled Bedsheet just starboard of dead aft.[/sblock]

[sblock=15-18]Your keen eyes note a strange mounding of water as if something large is moving behind the ship and off to the right a little. It is slowly closing with the ship.[/sblock]

[sblock=19-21]Something big is moving toward the Rumpled Bedsheet from behind. It is closely slowly from just starboard of dead astern. Fish and other sea creatures seem to be moving away from the mounding of water in fear.[/sblock]

[sblock=22-25]A very largre oblong creature is moving toward the 'Bedsheet from behind. It closes slowly. It is causing a wave of water to rise over it as it moves just below the surface. You catch just a hint of a large flat tail suggesting the beast is at least 80' long. Other sea creatures can be seen fleeing in terror.[/sblock]

spot check (1d20+5=13)

Unsure of the wave, I am figuring something is below causing it. Radoon will continue to observe and the comments, expressions of the other crew for further information.

OOC: Sorry for the delay - demanding couple of days at work.

OOC: No worries.

Finn is below decks getting some more powder for the swivel guns. The wave continues to close and a nervous crewman on the aft gun fires. There is boom and a tongue of flame licks out. The splash of shot can be seen on the wave, but it does not slow or change course. Perhaps a hundred and fifty feet seperate the ship and the wave.

OOC: Initiative? Actions?
