Newfoundland [IC]

[Thels]

The jelly smells okay and tastes great. It doesn't have much substance though, so it would take a lot to still one's appetite, especially your own.

As Ben slams the two sticks together, they start emitting a bright light, blinding Larrock and Ben for several seconds. There's still a third stick in the coffin.

Stillgem occasionally scratches his body to find out he's covered with small yellow worms, about half an inch in length. They're crawling everywhere, including under his clothes.

The leaves bend a lot easier than they break, so it requires one hand to hold the leaves and another to cut it down. After about half an hour of work, you made yourself a tunnel about 15 foot in length and 5 foot in width and height. The worms keep crawling around you an on to you, and the itchy feeling remains. In addition, you start to feel quite sleepy.

OOC: Afaik, Stillgem went into the forest right away, so he's not anywhere close to Dural and Flynn, but in full sight of the rest.

Flynn doesn't recognize the plant type at all. The stalk ain't even close to any type of plant he knows about. The stalks are very straight up, the knobs are very round and the plants are really in a sharp line, always with 2 exactly next to each other.

Flynn and Dural see a flotsam carrying a person floating towards them.

Drithmyne walks a little towards the direction Flynn and Dural headed in search for new material, and comes across 2 more coffers. The rest seems to be wooden wreckage. By now, the other materials have been moved next to the treeline.

There's still about 30 feet between the treeline and the water.

Resa pushes open the lid of the coffer (the noisy one) ... ...

 

[ferretguy]

OOC: right then, thought he was with us...got a little confused oh well..

Upon seeing the person floating on the wreckage Dural starts heading out (into the water...again..arrggghhh),to try to bring him in.(that is if there aren't fins circling or things obviously trying to eat him at the time)

 

[Thels]

Resa discovers that the coffer is locked. Placing her greatsword at the right spot and putting enough force behind it, Resa manages to break open the lock. Inside she spots a cat with a completely white fur cowering in one of the corners of the coffer, looking right at Resa with big blue eyes. The rest of the contents seem to consist of clothing of fine material and some rations. There might be other stuff in there if you inspect, though.

The flotsam is too far away to wade to, though it's coming this way. Taking a carefull look, the person on the flotsam might perhaps not be a 'him'.

Trying to keep her eyes from slipping closed, Jollunia struggled to maintain her hold on the pieces of wood from the ship. She had been holding on to the assorted collection of wood and debris for what seems like days, though she's sure it's only been hours. Her arms ached, not to mention her legs, one of which seems to have been twisted in her attempt to get away from the sinking ship. The pieces of wood that she had gathered around herself were not enough to support her, so she was forced to stay conscious, or slip into the sea.

Luckily, the cold water kept the desire to sleep at bay, or at least more at bay then it would have been.

Is that surf that I hear, or is it my imagination? A pounding noise over the constant noise of the waves against the flotsam was hardly more then a hum in the distance. She strained her salt-crusted eyes in the direction of the noise, but could see nothing over the material around her.

Well, if it is surf, then hopefully the tide will bring me in. If not... then... she left the thought unfinished; for the contemplation of a dark end was the last thing she wanted to dwell on.

 

[deadestdai]

Through his anger Stillgem suddenly took more note of the yellow worms crawling over his skin. He panicked and ran towards the water-line and the other survivors, shrieking slapping and swatting at the itchy creatures. He wanted them off. All of them. Now. Before.....

*strangely, Still' felt a wee bit sleepy through all of this*

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Seeing Stillgem bolt from the trees into the water, flailing at himself wildly the entire flight, Flynn runs after the gnome.

OOC: Do I have worms on me, as well?

 

[Mithreander]

Now, surely, that was a scream! Jollunia though through the haze of exhaustion that threatened her constantly.

Once more fighting to see over the debris that surrounded her, she looked in the direction of the noise. Her eyes still hurt and she had a hard time focusing, but finally, the trees and the beach played before her eyes, looking like a heat mirage... with people there! Are they... real?

She decided to take the chance, and with the remaining portion of her strength, waved in the direction of the shore. She tried to yell, to get their attention, but her throat refused to comply.

I hope they aren't cannibals was her last thought, as finally her consciousness fled.

 

[Thels]

After a few minutes Jollunia drifts close enough for Dural for him to pull the flotsam out of the water.

Flynn runs back to the group, which takes a while (it was about half an hour walking). No worms on him. (I assume he didn't peek in the forest as he wasn't anywhere close to where Stillgem entered the forest.

 

[ferretguy]

Calling out to the other survivor of this terrible fate, Dural notes the human start to slip off of the Flotsum.Oh No! I can't let this one die Dural begins to swim out, Luckily for her she was not too far out. As her hands slip below the waves Dural manages to grap ahold of her wrist and bring her back up to the surface. Swimming back to shore (good thing she's light enough) he drags her unconsious body out of the surf. Boy, she is a pale one... Checking her for signs of life he is cheered by a strong heartbeat. Taking out his water skin he proceeds to sprinkle some around her lips and face to awaken her. As her eyes start to flicker and she grabs for the water, Carefull there Lass, don't take in to much lest ye drown on dry land.... When your fit to move we'll get you to the others....Names Dural..
