Tycho will check this boat, searching to know more about his origin and story (and perhaps valuables). Books, maps, wine bottle, dead bodies... treasure chest.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
After the original ship sank and Amitiel spied undead sailing away, he follows. Luckily the ship is underskeletoned and essentially drifts away rather than sailing away. The angel flies over the crew and shoots at them as he goes. Before his wings wink out, he positions himself in the safe place at the lookout platform. From there, he shoots at the undead at will until they are reduced to piles of bones.

He is by no means an expert, but dropping the sails once the ship is secured should stop it dead in the water so he waits patiently for the mortals on the other ship to organize themselves over there. In the meantime, he prays, thanking his patrons for all the help in this undertaking.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: fly to the fleeing ship
Actions: shoot the skeletons, rinse, repeat until destroyed

Taking cover in the lookout basket and shooting down anything that tries to come up - push help
After skeletons are destroyed he drops the sails (cutting them down if necessary)

At no point does he expose himself by standing on the deck, just in case :)

OOC: Nah. You’re good. They’re skeletons.
You guys now have two ships. Congrats!

I’ll make a write up of what you find in a bit. You shouldn’t be disappointed.

Bunny lobs bolts of flame after the ship the skeletons are escaping on, hoping to set the ship aflame in too many spots for them to stop. Once it's out of range, she heads below deck to make sure Tycho doesn't hoard any of the good stuff!

OOC: We just captured that ship, as well.

The two ships are in...well, they work. They're old, and there are definitely parts of the wood that are rotting. But, they work, and they're seaworthy. Mostly. Your captain, Largerad, isn't impressed, but says that with a little work, they could be good ships again.

And he wants them both. He just lost the most important thing in his life, and he blames you. You can have whatever's in them, but he wants the ships.

Largerad steers the ship closer to the second one, sending a few of his men over to it to get it ready to take back to port.

You all explore the holds of the ship. There is a markedly lack of anything edible or drinkable on the ship. Or anything resembling a "Living quarters". The bunks are empty of mattresses or cloth. However, the captains quarters are full with treasure.

Each ship has 10,000 gp scattered in piles. Also, in each ship has a few items.

Ship 1:
A Fine Gold Chain set with a Fire Opal
A small wooden box.
Platinum Bracelet set with a Sapphire
A ratty bag on it side with some of the gold spilling out of it.
An Eye patch with a mock eye set in blue sapphire and moonstone
A cloak dropped over the captain's chair with spiderweb designs interwoven throughout.
In the cloak, you find another small box, and in that deck of cards. They're made of ivory.


Ship 2
A Gold Circlet set with four aquamarines
A pair of goggles stylized as eagle eyes, complete with a beak that goes over the nose.
An Embroidered glove set with jewel chips
A nice leather backpack with a number of pouches
An old masterpiece painting of the Drow city of Menzoberranzan
A large, corked metal flask
A small, fine wooden box weighing 1 pound.

OOC: Feel free to narrate what you find and what you do. You can argue with Largerad, if you like. Ball's in your court.

Galahad asks everyone to collect the items of note from the ships and sits down in one of the cabins to ritually identify any that show promise of a magical nature.

OOC: Knowledge domain spell
