PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[HolyMan]

Leaf wakes and after his morning prayers to The Wind and The Wave he starts to get ready for his fishing expedition. He pulls out his net and dagger setting them aside and rummages through his backpack till he finds his fishing gear.

"That hook and line are here somewhere," he says one arm in the backpack fishing around. "Ah got them." he says pulling them out. He wraps his kilt around his legs the strange white tear drop coloration showing a little on his right thigh. And pulls his hide vest on just in case.

"I'm ready, but I think someone should come with me as I will be concentrating on the water." Leaf says net in one hand, trident in the other.

[sblock=OOC] So not sure but the plan is to spend a day gathering food and then set out for the coast right? I'm not sure if we want to play through or play it step by step. If we are playing through I will roll my survival check then post what happened. How do we wish to do this?

Also leaving a lot of equipment behind so as to have a light load and armor ACP only.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Entirely up to you all how much detail you want to put into the day to day survival stuff. My minimum requirement will be a short description of your actions each day, with more detail resulting in a modifier to your rolls.

The side threads can run concurrently with this one if your wish; I don't want those threads to isolate you from each other (like in Silent Tide) - I just didn't want those possibly lengthy conversations to confuse the action here. I was also concerned that if I kept them in one thread it might mean one person - the one on watch - dominating the game for a week while the others watched, then moving to the next person. This way we can take care of all of them at once.

Metagame Alert!: Though it's somewhat unrealistic given their various classes and levels, the NPCs are not intended to fight alongside you - they're plot development tools and support staff who might occasionally throw their into a fight if it's necessary to save your bacon.[/sblock]

Lerissa

As dawn breaks, Lerissa will begin putting together some rations in the form of a breakfast and get some coffee going (hopefully we have some).

She will lead the breakfast conversation toward the journal. Found here:

Captain's journal

 

[Rhun]

Having woken and washed up in the cool water of the stream, Abraxis is ready for the day's events. He packs his gear in expectation that they wouldn't stay in this exact spot, but that they will continue to move onward in hopes of finding more food and perhaps better shelter.

After finishing this, he joins Lerissa for breakfast. Picking at the food, he assists her in reading over the Captain's log. "Well if I had to guess, I'd say the Captain and Ieana are on the Shiv, somewhere. Perhaps they were even responsible for pulling us up on the beach after running the ship aground." The aasimar shrugs/ "Though with that said, if they are responsible for the crew's death and our drugging, they will have to answer for their crimes."

After breakfast, Abraxis pulls Leaf aside to have a whispered conversation with the man.

[sblock=For Leaf and DM (Obviously)]
"Leaf, it appears that our companion Aerys may be suffering from sort of sickness. She says that she will be fine, and she doesn't want to talk about it...but I'd be appreciative if you could keep an eye on her? Perhaps you can diagnose her symptoms without letting her know that you suspect anything? If you cannot, then I will work on continuing to gain her confidence."[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=Leaf to Abraxis(&DM)] The big goliath nods once in understanding and sets out to figure a way to give the woman the examination she needs without letting her know.[/sblock]

Leaf reads over parts of the ships log till he comes to the end. The journal's lack of days startles the goliath into speaking where he would normaly had kept quiet.

"So you think they are here and didn't die on the Jenivere? They could be here somewhere, but why?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=Abraxis & Leaf]Noted! [/sblock]

The night passes without event. Jask wakes as Lerissa and Ishirou are finishing their watch. After a stretch and a quick look around, he jumps in to lend a hand with breakfast. Lerissa's watch-mate continues polishing his sword and staring into the jungle. Aerys rises late and slowly, looking wan. After she gets up, she goes to wake Gelik and Sasha, but they remain stubbornly in their bedrolls as Lerissa goes over the Captain's Log with Abraxis, Leaf and Auron.

 

[Rhun]

"So you think they are here and didn't die on the Jenivere? They could be here somewhere, but why?"

"Well, we didn't find their bodies, and they are not with us. And they indicated that they want to make this place their home. Logic would dictate that they escaped the Jenivere, and are here on Smuggler's Shiv, somewhere."

Lerissa

[sblock=Abraxis & Leaf]Noted! [/sblock]

Lerissa gives a slight smile to Jask as he pitches in with the breakfast duties. "Thank you.", she offers appreciatively.

Once breakfast if ready, she approaches Ishirou, bringing him a plate of food and cup of coffee. "Good watch last night, thank you for offering your help."

She will prepare a plate of food and more importantly, a cup of joe, for herself and settle on a seat near Aerys and speak to her quietly, "How was your sleep? I can tell you, I've surely had softer beds."

"Your logic is impeccable indeed."

 

[Rhun]

"So, what is our plan for today then?"
