Savage Tide IC thread

"So we wait a day, I call up Focalor and Dantalion, and swim on down to see what's what. Trust me, there shouldn't be an issue," Sharazek says with a smile.

The spellscale looks around to the others. "So when do we leave? I'm all for going right now."

OOC: more to come later:

[sblock= Knowledge Arcana DC 20]
Dragon turtles are a seafaring turtle, similar to the sea turtle, and it is known to capsaize ships it surfaces under, it has a breath weapon made of superheated steam and are known for nasty tempers, but by Lavinia's description this one seems much nastier than most.[/sblock]

Fenrick looks up at the others meekly, shyly, "Is there a chance that we could make friends with the turtle-dragon, err, I mean dragon-turtle, and then use it like a boat?" His question seems genuine as he follows it up with a little mumble, "Because that'd be pretty cool."

 

[Myth and Legend]

The Incantatrix raised her eyes at that last remark, a slight look of amazement betraying her thoughts. "You do realize we have much safer means of travel than hopping on the back of a scaly beast with a known appetite for mammals? - she turns towards the charismatic blue tinted man. - no offense of course. I for one intend on not letting go of my Phantom Steed, although If you all are willing I can simply use magic to fly us over."

Derrenil

Her brow furrows sharply upon hearing Fenrick mention of using the dragon turtle as a boat.

"This isn't a county fair we are discussing, this is a singular creature who appears powerful enough to hold the lifeblood of this colony in its claws."

Then in a slightly quieter, highly sarcastic tone,"Of course, at the rate that they are paying us, this place can't be too successful..."

"I will divine with my goddess this evening upon this dragon turtle -- if anyone has input, I will accept it now."

OOC: Derrenil will cast Divination tonight, about the dragon turtle, I'm open to suggestions on the question to ask.

Darius

"You know I can fly on my own, but I would appreciate a steed." Darius says to the incantatrix.
"Dragons are magnificent creatures, worthy of worship, but we speak of no true dragon but a dragon-like creature. If you divine something, maybe if it is pure blooded, no dragon or demon in it's ancestry."

A look of offense crosses the young halfling's face, "I didn't suggest we ride the turtle-dragon because it was prudent or efficient," he used his fingers to quote those two words, "I just thought it'd be so cool to ride like on its head above water as it goes like so super fast," his voice raises a few pitches as he continues his outburst, "But apparently I'm in the minority here. Quick everybody, don't listen to Fenrick, he has terrible ideas."

He stops and looks at every staring at him disapprovingly. A bit of shame crossed his face and he quietly shrugged his shoulders in admitted defeat. Looking at Derrenil, who was giving him the nastiest look of all, he smiled, "Maybe if you could find out the best way to get out of its stomach in case it decides to eat one of us."

OOC: here is the rest of my previous post here:

Lavinia looks around, "I could probably double your pay if you kill Emraag and save my payment, I also will allow you to keep any treasure he might have, which should be considerable, given how much we give to him in tribute each year."

"The Sea Wyvern will depart tomorrow for Gallivant Cove, where Emraag lives, unless you have alternate means of transport, in which case you can leave when you wish." Lavinia says, she then walks away and it is clear that the conversation is done.

 

[Myth and Legend]

Elisitna let loose a little smile on the edge of her lips at Fenrick's remark, but found it difficult to retort in a non serious manner, so she simply kept her tongue still.

The reclusive Gnome stared at the floor, itching to grab her spellbook and whack Lavinia over the back of her head. Her face remained serious and she did not move an inch however, but rather addressed the others. "Let us be done with this task, the Shadow Pearls are what I truly want to secure, least we have another Savage Tide on our hands."

[sblock=OOC]sorry for flaking out there, I will do better

I'll do the voyage over a few days as there are a few interesting things you see along the way and might want to stop and see, I'll give you a little bit to respond.The voyage itself is 350 miles and will take five days in game time.[/sblock]

The Sea Wyvern is loaded up and heads out to see. Along the way, numerous shipwrecks dot the coast and poke out of the water. on some you might think that you saw a person walking on the broken deck, but then he is gone.

Later second day of travel, a large roc swoops down from above and makes several passes over the ship, looking curiously at the Dragon Figurehead.
