Day 5 Early Morning

"Salmon Rock? Shoalar looks surprised, "There is nothing there. Yer lookin for a long walk home or summing?" He pauses for a few minutes then says, "It's only a mile or so farther than Riverguard. I'll tell yer what, I'll drop yer off, head back ta unload, then come pick yer up, pro'lly a couple o' hours later.

You can't quite place your finger on why, but you're not sure he's telling the truth. Sholar's demeanour is suddenly artificially friendly, as opposed to closed off and malicious.

 

[Azurewraith]

Duran turns to look at his companions. Almost pleading one of them to speak. This man's sudden change of disposition is unnerving.

 

[Thateous]

J.V. speaks up, "That won't be necessary. You mentioned earlier you have other stops past Riverguard and we don't wish to inconvenience with our presence any longer than absolutely necessary."

J.V. turns to Duran and telepathically states "I wish for one these brigands to make a wrong move towards any of us. I will twist their mind to point of lunacy, which now that i think about it, probably wouldn't be too far of a stretch."

 

[Charwoman Gene]

"Our business is our own, and it will take us more than a few hours to get where we need to go from the river. It would not be worth your time to come back for us," Nariah says.

Womford
Day 5 Morning

"Well aren't you a !Little defensive" Shoalar says with his typical sarcasm, "Just tryin ta make my guests feel welcome. It's a long walk back ta civilisation is all, mind ya, yer seems pretty well prepared." he finishes, surveying your equipment.

He makes a slight adjustment to your course as Pike heads off for the bow, barking orders at one of the crew about being lazy.

You continue on past Riverguard, then Shoalar shouts a little too load, "We're here![\B]. There is a clatter of wood, a splash and the sound of steel being drawn as Pike throws the anchor overboard and the four crew ship thier poles and draw swords.

GM: The Rivermaid is 40ft long and 18 wide, there is a raised central hold that occupies a third of the boat with a narrow walk way each side. There is also a tiny cabin at the bow and stern formed by a raised platform. Pike is at the bow and Shoalar is at the rear, with the other crew members each at a corner of the hold. Roll initiative and anything higher than 16 can go.

OOC: Initiative [roll0] oh come on....

 

[Charwoman Gene]

"Deceivers! Liars!", shouts Nariah as they draw their weapons. She retreats to the center of the deck, green energy flaring up on one of the sailors. She points her walking stick at him and a blast of arcane force flies from the stick to the sailor.

OOC: Initiative: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21 Move: To the center of the hold. Bonus: Hex(Dex) on northwest sailor. Action: Eldritch Blast on NW sailor. Eldritch Blast, hex: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24 1D10+3 = [2]+3 = 5 1D6 = [3] = 3

OOC: Man these guys need to invest in AC. How fast is the river running? Would it carry someone away if they got shoved in?

 

[TallIan]

GM: It's fairly sluggish around waking pace, but would carry them away of they didn't cling to the boat or move and dash to stay level (assuming swimming at half speed) . It would however require an athletics check to get back into the boat.
