PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[Rhun]

"The island is large, and we've seen little of it. We could certainly stay here and rest for a couple of days. But it seems to me if there is a way to escape this place, we will find it along the coast."

 

[renau1g]

I will admit that I have spent little time near any coasts, my people's lands were not on any waters. This was my first time aboard a boat, it seems the spirits had other plans for me, or us." Auron says.

 

[mleibrock]

The water is indeed fresh, though only time will tell whether or not it's hosting any parasites (unless you Purify it first).

Lerissa does not have purify water, she has create water. She will create water for herself to drink and watch the others for any signs that the stream is not good.

Ishirou sighs wearily as Lerissa makes her request. "I suppose I should do something to 'carry my weight.' Though I'm exhausted, so I make no guarantees I'll be of use to you.

"I realize the trek here was very tiresome for several of you. Once you get some food and water in your belly you'll begin to feel better and maybe we can see about taking the last watch so that you can get some rest first. I can tell already by your honesty that you are going to be a very useful asset."



"I thank you. Though I'm free in your eyes, the magistrates of Sargava will likely not see it that way once we reach Eleder."

"Whose to say we or you have to continue on to Eleder?"

Camp is established in short order, and a (rather bland) meal made from the rations scavenged from the wreck. As you cook it becomes apparent that the rations won't last long among the nine of you.

When the others begin speaking of hunting, Lerissa speaks up, "I've never had the occasion to hunt prey but would not be opposed to giving it a try." As far as the way off the island, "I think we should not make any big assumptions of how we are going to get off this blasted island yet. The shore is obviously the most logical but if we encounter any magic, all logic is out the window."

Abraxis nods. "Of course. With magic, anything is possible. My thought was if there happens to be a salvageable vessel, it would be along the coast. Also, I'm not sure if any shipping traffic passes close to this island, but if so we could possibly try to signal a ship."


How about some music?

"So this is the tale of the castways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb."

Nice...loved that show. I should post my pic with Bob Denver

Abraxis nods. "Of course. With magic, anything is possible. My thought was if there happens to be a salvageable vessel, it would be along the coast. Also, I'm not sure if any shipping traffic passes close to this island, but if so we could possibly try to signal a ship."

"You are right, we might well indeed be able to signal a passing ship. I however am more of a believer in the God's or some would call it fate. I feel we are here for a reason and we would be best served if we discover that reason before moving on. That said, I will do whatever the group thinks is best."

[sblock=OOC]Mike, This was said more for the NPC's so that they feel more comfortable here> Lerissa believes no such thing, she is very much a control freak and believes she should be in control of her own destiny. So I'm gonna add a bluff roll for the other comment. Ahhh, a natural one..gotta love how most see right through her.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

"Well thank you Lerissa that was... motivational." Leaf says sounding somewhat confused. "We should turn in and spend tomorrow gathering what supplies we can from the wilds. I have first watch, and since most creatures come out with the setting of the sun I think it best we have more eyes than normal."

Leaf looks over the group of castaways p) and then says, "Jask, Gelix how about taking first watch with me? It normally means you don't have to cook breakfast." the big goliath adds with a smile.

 

[Rhun]

Abraxis nods. "Well then, wake me when it is time for my watch." With that, he heads to bed.

[sblock=OOC]I gotta spread some more XP love around! I'd have given some for both Lerissa and Leaf's posting recently, but I haven't given enough out to other folks to be able to give to you again. Nice RP, anyway![/sblock]

Camp established, supper eaten and watches set, you settle in for your first night on 'the Shiv.' The smoke from your campfire is surprisingly effective at warding off the interminable biting, stinging insects . . . you're still bothered, but not nearly to the extent you were during your hike.

Your first night passes without molestation . . . either there are very few denizens of this isle or everything that lives here is still 'sizing you up.'

Everyone wakes in the morning feeling somewhat refreshed and ready to take your next steps . . . whatever they are.

[sblock=OOC (All)]Let's play out your conversations with your watch-companions in the side threads. This will allow all of them to go on simultaneously - which should save us some time and keep everyone involved - without making an indecipherable mess here in the main thread.

In case you've deleted your subscriptions to your side threads (or haven't had your own side thread yet), here are the links:
