PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[mleibrock]

Lerissa

Lerissa watches the "ghost" for a few minutes. When it becomes clear to her that they are not going to be able to get its attention or converse with it, she lays back down and tries unsuccessfully to put it out of her mind and go back to sleep.

She lies quietly listening to the ghost and the others rustle. She reflects on the parties current situation of being shipwrecked and can't help but try and put the limited information she has together. Is there a possibility the captain may not have been to blame for their current situation. Ugggg, I need more information - she thinks to herself.


OOC - I'm just fine with no encounters right now. Like holy man said...our primary goal is to stay alive.

Abraxis gets a few more minutes of shuteye before waking with the dawn.

 

[HolyMan]

OCC: Plans when there is enough light: Take a swim out into the area of water the apparition was intent on. If Leaf gets into trouble he relies on his sanctuary spell to protect him till he gets back to the beach.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The sky brightens rapidly with the dawn, the sun fairly leaping into the sky over the ocean waves. Leaf strips down to his skivvies, looking forward to an early morning swim and communion with his God.

The rest of the group stir themselves from a difficult night. As Jask rises and rubs the sleep from his eyes, he gasps in wonder and looks to Lerissa. "By the All-Seeing Eye, m'Lady, you've brought us right to it!" He points off shore . . . following his direction, you turn your gazes out and behold ninety-foot-long shipwreck leaning against the cliff side and several jagged reefs, encrusted with salt and moss. Its masts remain intact, but the sails have long since rotted away. At the bow, a leering demonic figurehead of green-caked brass provides an intimidating greeting. "That's the Brine Demon, my old berth!"

 

[Rhun]

Abraxis smiles and yawns. "Well, what do you know? Now what is so important about the Brine Demon?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The old cleric's face takes on a look of . . . hunger . . . as he gazes out at the wreck. "If proof of my innocence, a way to clear my name in Sargava, is to be found anywhere it will be on that wreck. I believe the Captain of that ship - a pirate - was involved with my superiors in Sargava. If there are papers aboard that confirm this, I can take them to the Sargavan government and clear my name with them."

Lerissa

The sky brightens rapidly with the dawn, the sun fairly leaping into the sky over the ocean waves. Leaf strips down to his skivvies, looking forward to an early morning swim and communion with his God.

The rest of the group stir themselves from a difficult night. As Jask rises and rubs the sleep from his eyes, he gasps in wonder and looks to Lerissa. "By the All-Seeing Eye, m'Lady, you've brought us right to it!" He points off shore . . . following his direction, you turn your gazes out and behold ninety-foot-long shipwreck leaning against the cliff side and several jagged reefs, encrusted with salt and moss. Its masts remain intact, but the sails have long since rotted away. At the bow, a leering demonic figurehead of green-caked brass provides an intimidating greeting. "That's the Brine Demon, my old berth!"

Lerissa looks at the Brine Demon and then focuses on Jask. "Truly I had nothing to do with it. I think it is more your fate my friend, for your name to be cleared." Lerissa thinks back to the night before, Did the ghost seem to be in the area of the shipwreck?

When Leaf returns, she asks for everyone to gather and lets Jask lead the conversation as to why this ship is important to him. When he is finished, she will do her best to persuade the others that helping Jask is the right thing to do. "He has already helped all of us in any endeavor we have asked and we owe it to our fellow castaway."

OOC - Mike, she honestly believes what she is saying so I am at a loss as what to roll for a check to persuade.

 

[Rhun]

"I am not opposed to exploring the wreck. It is possible that we could also find supplies or rations on board."

 

[HolyMan]

Leaf comes back from his swim in a great mood. He stands dripping on the beach his kilt and dagger are the only items he wears.

He looks at the Brine Demon from the beach and wonders at what secrets the pirate ship might posse. "Right let me get my belongs together and I will be set." he says to the others.

Walking back up the beach to camp he adds, "Anyone see a way to get to the wreck from land?"

OOC - Mike, she honestly believes what she is saying so I am at a loss as what to roll for a check to persuade.

OOC: Is she trying to convince the NPCs? If so, diplomacy is the way to go. If it's the PCs she's working on, no roll necessary (or helpful).
