PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

1. how many other ship members are here?
2. how much beach is here before other terrain starts or is it all beach?
3. other than the footprints, are there any signs others have been here?
4. Did anything else wash up here yet (assuming we washed up?)

1. Five: Aerys Mavato, Gelik Aberwhinge, Ishirou, Jask Derindi, & Sasha Nevah. All were passengers on the Jenivere, not crew.
2. The main part of the island is hilly/mountainous jungle, with a fairly narrow strip of beach broken by cliffs jutting all the way to the water.
3. Lerissa noticed that the gear is stacked neatly rather than strewn about, and all of it seems to be there. (Auron noted some signs that everyone here was dragged up to their current positions rather than being washed up by the tide, but he hasn't shared that yet).
4. Just you, the passengers and everyone's gear.

 

[HolyMan]

Leaf continues to retrieve all his equipment, donning his armor (but not his boots) and checking his pack.

When he is finished he notes to everyone else. "Only the passengers here and none of the crew. That's very interesting."

He pauses looking around. And looks like he decides on something. "I think we might find a few answers there," he says pointing at the Jenivere with his trident. "Or at least we should see what we can scavenge from the ship."

"Whose up for going with me for a swim?" he asks with a grin, eyeballing the water like he is itching to dive in.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Looks like those rocks might provide a walkway - somewhat treacherous - out to the ship at low tide. Any other tide and it's a swim. Doable, but damned hard and dangerous.

 

[HolyMan]

"Or a stroll? When the tide is right." Leaf says with a smile noticing the terrain.

[sblock=OOC] How long till the tide is low enough that may decide it. [/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Leaf casts an experienced eye on the surf and judges that the tide is on its way out; you should be able to make your way to the wreck of the Jenivere in about 30 minutes. His experience with ships also tells him that the wreck won't survive too many more turnings of the tide.

Lerissa

Lerissa looks to the other ship members still unconscious on the beach. In the She will don her armor and as she does so, she sees Ishirou's sword. She picks it up and walks over to the man. She will wake him and once he's had time to get his bearings, she will present him with it.

She then wakes the others and asks them to come over to where the gear is stacked.

OOC - waiting for DM to allow all NPC's to gather with PC's

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Lerissa soon has all of the other passengers awake and gathered around the stack of gear. Ishirou thanks her gravely for the return of his sword. They're all groggy and nauseated, though as they move around sorting through the gear this begins to pass. As they begin to recover they ask the expected questions: where are we, how did we get here, why are we sick, etc. Even after they begin to recover, the other castaways are shaky and insecure and have the somewhat disconnected air that Leaf associates with shock.

By the time they're awake and have their kits back on, the tide is out to the point you could probably cross to the Jenivere without swimming.

"To who do I owe a life-debt?" the large man says, finally coming to terms with what happened. It is the most he has spoken to any of you, he kept to himself on the ship and rebuffed any attempts at conversation.

He points out the tracks from the water's edge to where people had been laying at any questions about what the man means.

Auron
As you clear the sand from your eyes and take stock of your surroundings in the aftermath of the fight, you notice footprints back and forth between your current location and the water's edge. There are several furrows in the sand as well, each leading to an unconscious castaway or to the location one of you awakened.

"No one saved your life human," Leaf states flatly. "They left you here to die, along with the rest of us."

Leaf shakes his head a slightly disgusted look on his face. This new Pathfinder was not at all what the goliath had pictured. He knew there were many humans in the Society, but none of them reminded him of the ones who killed his family and burnt his village to the ground.

None save for this Auron that is.

[sblock=OOC] Glad you took human I need someone to use for character development. Leaf's favored enemy is human btw. So this will be a long road indeed. [/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

"That is where you are wrong tall one. Someone, or something, dragged us away from the water, probably saving us from drowning. I wish to know who. Both you and the girl were standing when I woke up" the man replies, ignoring any slight from the giant.

[sblock=ooc]
Good thing Auron's got thick skin then eh? [/sblock]
