Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

Too weary to think straight, much less to argue, Rook drops his weapons and takes one side of the net, stepping to the opposite side of the passageway so the net fills the corridor.

 

[Scotley]

Victory!

The Captain having cleared the foredeck of foes, frees up everyone to target the whale. Finn produces another impressive display of precision fire and his shot strikes the whale squarely. It is followed closely by other shots, ballista bolts, arrows, sling bullets, a brace of crossbow bolts and a few harpoons. Just as the whale is about to strike the ship, Captain Morwyn leaps over the side and lays into the gigantic creature one last time ending its unlife. The huge body, still moving fast splats into the side of the Rumpled bedsheet with a shuddering impact and then begins to slowly roll belly up. A horrendous rotten smell hangs over the ship.

Below decks as Radoon and Rook struggle to move in with the cargo net the Yeth Hound tosses back its head and bays (everyone needs to make a DC:11 will save or become panicked for 2d4 rounds). As they toss the net, the beast vanishes, the magic that summoned it having expired.

Medic!

A weary Rook cleans and secures his weapons, and squats to rest and catch his breath in the corridor.

OOC:

I have Rook at 2 of 40 HP - came durn close to dying twice (actually went down once) that fight, and it was just a tune up! Maybe the Invisible Castle Curse is through with me for awhile now!

Radoon

will save (1d20+4=19)

Yeah, this time I am not scared...good thing too since at this point I would be frightened of my shadow only.

"Just like an evil beast to disappear before we get the satisfaction of killing it!!"

I am down too, not as bad as Rook, I am at 13 of 48.

Radoon will take Rook and support him, put his arm over my shoulders and lead him up the stairs.

 

[Scotley]

OOC:

Maybe the Invisible Castle Curse is through with me for awhile now!

OOC: I don't know, I haven't seen your will save yet...

 

[SirCaith]

Finn Hunter

Will Save (1d20+7=18)

With a sigh of relief, Finn will leave the gun station to go and assist Captain Morwyn back on board. He will also direct seamen to start determining how much damage the 'Sheet has sustained, and how seaworthy she still is. They are also to look to see if we have any more uninvited guests onboard or if anything is missing.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

Will Save (1d20+2=12)

That was close!

 

[Leif]

ain't skeered no mo!

ooc: I think we can safely assume that Gnurl was fully panicked, given his cowering below decks, and everything. When he recovers, he will compose himself and go back topside.

"Wow, that was close fellas! Good thing I came through for yas!"

 

[Scotley]

A couple of crewmen have to be restrained from jumping over the side after that last howl, while others cower below decks. A damage assessment of the ship reveals that several seams are leaking water, but the ship was not holled by the whale's attack. At the Captain's orders the dead (formerly undead) are cleared from the decks and a work crew starts to patch the leaks while others man the pumps. A couple of nearby boats offer assistance, but the Captain thinks better of allowing any of the cutthroats of the 'Rest access to the ship and for now the Rumpled Bedsheet seems to be seaworthy. Marienna is busy despensing healing.

OOC: Current hp totals for anyone who would like healing please? Actions?

 

[Leif]

I think a visit to the galley would be in order, for a stiff drink and a gnosh!
