Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[mleibrock]

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?

Radoon is at 13 of 48HP.

Radoon will help repair the ship and take healing later this evening or before we continue our movement.

OOC: Sorry, things seem to have stalled for many of our players.

Radoon finds that the ship is seaworthy and with some pumping and patching will be able to continue. After attending to the more seriously wounded, Marienna finds him tarring a seam and applies her healing magic (curing 23 points) and giving him an affectionate squeeze on the shoulder before moving on to find others.

Gnurl finds himself in the wardroom with Terry Lockspar, who pulls them both a mug of ale. Marienna comes through and provides a cure to each of you (if I remember correctly Gnurl took a little damage). Soon a halfling woman bustles in with some smoked pork sandwiches on hard bread with some pickles and spicy mustard. Terry notes, "that was a neat trick with the webs. Catching several of those undead really helped the fight."

Rook

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!

Once Rook catches his breath, he'll join the rest of the crew with the minor repairs.

 

[Scotley]

Marienna finds Rook at the rail where crewmen are trying to clear the corpses of the undead off the deck and provides a couple of touches with her staff. Rook feels the healing power course through him and is soon feeling much stronger (cures 33) though the magic leaves him hungry and the wounds a little itchy.

Radoon leans into M.'s ear as she squeezes his shoulder. "You are an old man's lifesaver." He then gently kisses her cheek.

Radoon will give the crew below a few last directions before taking his leave to give the capt. the ship's condition report.

Radoon will then find the captain ...

"Captain, the ship is hurt but not bleeding too bad and can continue but I wonder if we should. I wonder if we should try and collect more information on what is going on here. I want to save Allois as much as you, Marin has always been good to me but I am not sure if we should risk all these lives to do so. I will follow your lead, you know that but I think we owe it to our boys to make this as survivable as possible."

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Our Captain has been out of touch for some time. It will be up the rest of you to decide your next course of action. I suggest you all gather in the ward room for something to eat and discuss your next move.

"Thank you, my friend. The last I saw of him, the Captain was over the side chasing the whale. Until he comes back aboard from his 'scouting expidition,' I suggest we gather the officers in the ward room to discuss our plans. If this was but a preliminary bout, as I fear, we may well be overmatched at this point unless we're able to come up with quite a clever plan."

 

[Leif]

Thanks, Terry! I didn't feel like I was able to do very much....

 

[Scotley]

A plan?

The silence stretches on uncomfortably and Marienna finally says, "I'm sick of being a target. I want to attack. Can't we just storm the place and take Allois back? I say we rest up the rest of the day and go in with blades and bullets leading the way in the wee hours."

"Just give me time to get my spellls back, darlin', and I'll follow you to the ends of the earth!" quoth Gnurl
