Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[Scotley]

As Geoffrey departs for the deck he notes the dense and likely unnatural fog blanketing both ships and the compound. It reduces visiblity to only a few and largely blocking out the sun.

 

[Leif]

Is it tomorrow yet?

Gnurl rises very early and begins his study for the day's spells, which he will read as he strokes Featherwind. When he finishes that, he will wash up and visit the galley.

"Ahh yes, I was thinking perhaps some blueberry pancakes would hit the spot, with lots and lots of butter, jam, and syrup. And 4 or 5 strips of bacon and 3 scrambled eggs, as well, please? Yes, coffee sounds lovely, thank you Dearie!" says Gnurl to the rather hefty older lady in charge of the galley this morning.

ooc: EEP! I'll hush again until everyone is ready! Sorry, guys. (It's that damned anxious gnome in me!)

 

[Scotley]

The halfling in the kitchen does her best to fill Gnurl's breakfast order.

OOC: Some of the others haven't finished with the previous evening yet...

 

[J. Alexander]

Concerned about the fog and how it could be a portent of ill, Geoffrey will board the "Radiant Sun". Calling for the Ships' Chancellolr he will issue orders that the fog laterns be light and for the watc to be doubled. "The fog should not be present so close to Midday" After prayers and seeing to the ship, Geoffrey will retire for the rest of the day and the evening to his quarters.

OCC: We may need to start saving the threads etc just in case en crashes again.

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

H'Roosh will stay up for a bit with Mingo, telling her some about his time sailing with his parents (though carefully omitting or working around the part about their profession) and on the Isle of Chelestra. If she appears at all philosophical he'll spend some time discussing his ideas regarding law and Law (man's law and Nature's Law, that is), as well as the path to enlightenment and ascension.

When the conversation runs out, or when Mingo states her need to rest and prepare for the next day's battle, he'll go up on deck and find a secluded spot for meditation, then retire to his hammock for the night.

Mingo will tell H'Roosh about her life at the temple, having been sent off to keep her out of trouble. She will play devil's advocate for a while in their discussion of law and Law before telling H'Roosh about her service to Istishia, The Water Lord, along with her vows to Yondalla. Before leaving H'Roosh, Mingo will Bless H'Roosh with the blessings of Istishia.

OOC: Mingo now only down 1 Con point. Anson is at full strength.

OCC: We may need to start saving the threads etc just in case en crashes again.

OOC: I noted the same thing and have made fresh backups of all the games I DM.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Mingo now only down 1 Con point. Anson is at full strength.

OOC: If you can manage to get a night's rest the point should be recovered.

 

[Scotley]

The rest of you note the strange fog that persists through the afternoon without diminishing. Such a thing is clearly unnatural.

Mingo will ask Gnurl, "Do you think an air elemental could clear the air some?"

 

[Leif]

Gnurl Whiskerling

Mingo will ask Gnurl, "Do you think an air elemental could clear the air some?"

"I would say that he could do this in his immediate area for as long as the spell lasted. Unless, that is, there is some particularly potent magic behind the fog, and then all bets are off, madam. But I don't think that my summoning spell would last long enough for us to gain any practical value from your idea. You see, Madam Mingo, I am an Illusionist, not a Conjurer, and there are doubtless secrets to the conjuring arts that I am not privy to. My summoning would last for just under one minute's time, and I only have one such spell memorized for today. If you had mentioned this yesterday, I had two such spells memorized. Furthermore, if you had been here two days ago then you could have met a water elemental that I summoned and conversed with him to your hearts content."
