Who wants to be a Wayfinder? Part 1

(blargh...where's the OOC thread...oh well, before I post IC, I need to know if there's a Magic Item Compendium item available. It's called an Artificer's Monocle...it's designed to let an artificer, or spellcaster who can cast Detect Magic, identify the features of magic items. If you don't have MIC, I can edit this post with the specifics of its cost and working)

OOC:
The captain will take the 4 MW scimitars to outfit the crew. Any gold you give them the captain will turn over to the families of the two fallen sailors. The rings are all yours.

Whisper:
Yes, you can get that item in Cliffscrape. You've got a good collection of magic items by now that I'll post when you reach town.
 

With the equipment of the pirates stripped and divided, Seria takes a rapier and tucks it into her belt. At some point on the journey back home, Seria makes her way down into the brig to question the pirates. She takers her time, focusing on questions such as to where their allegiances lie, who ordered the attack, were they looking for something in particular?
 

Whisper accompanies Seria to question the pirates, but lets her go first....remaining only a shadowy, masked figure behind her. Never speaking, rarely moving.

Show Seria's tactics prove ineffective, she moves forward and incants a spell which tugs at the pirates minds, bending them to her will... If the spell succeeds, she repeats Seria's questions to the now, hopefully more pliable captive.

(Charm Person DC 15, should they prove difficult...Cha checks as needed to convince them tot alk.)

OOC: I think I have a link to it in my sig.

Edit: Yep. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=143477

The pirates prove to be stubborn during the questioning. Seria's threats yield some basic information from them, that they work for the Cloudreavers patrolling the ocean around the island. They aren't privy to any of the captains orders, other than that they had free reign to attack and capture any ships in the area. You get the impression there hadn't been much activity lately, but they admit that a month ago they did overtake and sink a larger ship flying the Tharask flag, which you conclude was Brother Oallie's ship. Despite their position as captives, they remain staunch that their crew mates will hunt you down and pay you back.

Whispers spell takes hold on one of the captives. Once separated from the influence of his partner, Whisper and Seria find him far more pliant to their questioning. They discover that the ships are part of a larger fleet that has a port on the far side of the island. There is one other ship assigned to patrol the ocean around the island and several smaller supply ships that make regular runs to the island. Some come from the cities in the area, others from ports controlled by the Cloudreavers. The man knows nothing of the islands interior, or what takes place there.

Any other specific questions you want to ask during your interrogation time can be posted in sblocks, I'm going to move us on to the town now.


Pirate save vs Charm Person (1d20=5)
Whisper Charisma check (1d20 4=15)

You arrive once more in Cliffscrape after a week and a half of steady sailing, the strong wind at your back hurrying you home. It feels good to be back on dry land after nearly a month at sea, though it does take a while to get your land legs back.
 

Though she enjoyed sailing on open water, Seria is glad to finally have her feet on some solid ground. "Now what?" Seria asks to the others. "I suggest we send a report back to Noble Qui ap'Gwyddi detailing the fate of the ship? We found the ship, we found the pirates, but no sign of Brother Ouillie besides the journal. And what of the island?"

[sblock=pirate questions]At the mention of their attack on Brother Ouillie's ship, Seria asks if there were survivors? If so, what happened to them?

At the mention of the Cloudreaver port on the island, Seria asks some more questions. Roughly how many Cloudreavers inhabit the island? Do they allow non Cloudreavers to use the port for trade? How many ships in port at a time?[/sblock]

"Perhaps the Island should be left out of the explanation for the moment," Johan suggests.

"Really?" he asks, looking innocently confused. "Part of the fate of the ship was surely where they wound up: the island. I thought we were talking about asking the house for reinforcements to return, or have we decided to let that dragon sleep?"

"We should feel out what they know of the Island first. Perhaps it is best to play that by ear," Johan says.
