Havok looks to Fen at her question, Awful smelling?!? Must be the sulfur from the brackish water from the bilges...
"Havok make booms, and special go-go juice"
Havok shakes his head as Lorelei and Ornotck try to sneak off, he looks to Fen with a smile, "They drunk, booze do weird stuff, they go make mommy and daddy dance!"
Hopefully that's enough of an explanation, would rather not have to teach her the dynamics of mating...
Odiseo surreptitiously avoids drinking his rum ration; he preferred waking up clear-headed, in case morning fights became a common occurrence.
When he hears Havok's explanation, Odiseo pushes away from the table. "On that note, I'm outta here. This afternoon, I saw a monkey up in the rigging; he looked hungry, maybe I lure him down with some dinner."
Havok sighs, looking at the blank look in the Halfling's eyes I'm not going to explain it to her, but I'm sure I could find the others in the act and show her.... no no, bad idea, continuing with my work is way more important.
Havok goes into his formula book and rips out a page, he hands it to Fen, "Here you need more, as you cook now" The page is what appears to be a recipe for "Havok's Fish Ball Soup", but the part that is shocking is that it is written a concise hand with exact measurements and instructions. All in perfect common.
Havok goes back to his work, once he is finished, he puts away his improvised alchemy kit and heads to his hammock for the night.
Havok relaxes in his hammock, swinging to the rhythm of the ship. "Havok cook on last ship, before crew split up. Havok miss old ship, old ship was happy..." He rolls over and tries to sleep
At the bloody hour Ragnar, Ornotck, and a rat face halfling are each put to the mast one at a time,
Scourge is talking like he is putting on a show
For spilling good rum big mouth gets 6 lashes
Ragnar
or 14 non lethal,
For sneaking around below decks at night the cripple gets 6 lashes
or 13 non lethal damage 10 lethal
For payment of his loss last night in gambling ratline gets 3 lashes
halfling
Ah now that we got that out of the way lets drink
after scourge is done talking grok comes out with a large barrel of rum, takes a large mug for herself and takes a seat, letting who ever wants a share take it, Scourge makes sure everyone takes at least one share of it.
while everyone is getting a drink Sandara walks over to the passed out body's of those punished and whispers a few words,
healing 11 lethal and 11 non lethal, bringing all three back to the waking world, Ratline nods his head at Sandara and walks off.
You two should be more careful, I wont always be able to help you, if possible i would like to talk to your new group as soon as I can. with that she walks off to take her rum.
What was that last part, oh forget it, better to talk with our actions lets arm wrestle
Havok looks to Sandara, Cleric of Besmara, eh? What she need with us?
"Hullo pretty lady, what you like to talk bout?"
We see no value in pursuing this lifeform, the voices whisper in Odiseo's ears as he cautiously approaches the monkey. It will only complicate a tenuous situation.
"Oh, do shut up," Odiseo replies. He whistles softly and beckons to the monkey. "Hey little guy, c'mere"
a few moments latter sandara walks by and takes a look at what the noise is, after seeing what is going on she says in a deathly whisper what are you two doing, I thought i told you i wanted to talk, and you why are you so drunk you only had one mug
while still next to Lorelie(let your imagination say how...) Ornotck looks over at Sandara and smiles Did you mean tonight, oh well as you can see i am in the middle of something right now (lol middle...) but if you would want to join us he wiggles his eye brows suggestively
Ragnar nods to Sandara's suggestion.
"Better to start toeing the line a bit more before I stretch her good will too far...", he thinks. He adjourns shortly thereafter to take Cog up on his challenge.
Strength:
Lorelei manages to elbow Ornotck in the lower ribs when he asks Sandara to join in. We'll be down below shortly."
Ornotck just shrugs when he gets elbowed, As the lady says we will see you when we are done here. After Sandara leaves he looks at Lorelei and says Now where were we?
cog Ah good to see you are up to the challenge, i bet you 5 gold that i will win. he says with a over confident smile, and tosses down five gold, he sets up a barrel that has shards of glass on it where your hand would land if you lose, half on one said half on another. after you beat him his hand starts to bleed a fair amount he grumbles in pain, and brings his other hand up.
Not bad, lets see how you do a second time strong guy double or nothing he puts down 10 gold
It seems they will be with us after a little while, they are umm a bit tangled up for now. Where is Ragnar and the other man anyway? Also before I forget, I managed to gather some things up from the half orc quartermaster the first day you were all drugged,
What she brings out is a Alchemist kit, a small sized sling and morningstar, along with a small sack that has something fairly small moving inside of it.
Grok was happy to be rid of these things as i told her they were cursed, even more so with the thing in the bag, she did not want it in her store room, Fen you should take it. Dont want our goblin to eat it after all she finishes with a teasing voice.
Ragnar accepts Cog's second challenge, putting down his whole coin purse before loosening his shoulder muscles and taking a seat at the barrel.
Strength:
As Sandara turns to leave, Lorelei comments: "Usually the problem is they don't take long enough. As for you, you know exactly where we were."
Havok grabs the alchemist kit, "ooooooo, Havok make better booms, not silly cocktail booms, but really booms, Thanks pretty Besmara lady!"
This means I can stop using the pots and pans that I lifted from the kitchen to bake my ingredients. Now where should I set this up without causing a fire?!
sandaraeather it hated being in that bag or it really likes you girl she smiles at the otters antics, then looks over at havok,
Well i hope you dont burn down the ship. But i am glad i could help, remember i scratch your back you scratch mine, oh looks like the otter is scratching her back as we speak.
then a man with two bloody hands and a blue scarf wrapped around his head comes walking up to Sandara.
cog Looks like i need some healing, if your able to, that new rigger is strong, beat me easily in arm wrestling he holds up his hands hoping for the to be fixed.
sandara looks at fen and havok how can arm wrestling do that much damage i know there is glass, but this is too much, Did Ragnar get hurt at all? or just you? she says as she looks at his hands
cog Just me, now can you fix them?
sandara Yes i will one moment
Oh i remember just checking, now to keep going. fades to black
a time latter up to Lorelei to say when we are done.
ah that was good, want to try it out tomorrow and you dont being drunk? ah i will ask you in the morning, lets go see what the red head wants. he stands up, puts himself together, and try to help Lorelei put her cloths back together.
now shall we go Ma lady? he offers his arm in a joking manner.
Ragnar scoops up his coin and nods.
"Yuh, luhz guh.", he says simply and follows Cog belowdecks.
An appropriate length of time later.....
After they're both done, Lorelei tries to fix her clothes enough so that it doesn't look like she's been doing what she has been doing. "The red head? Oh right, Sandara. Sure let's see what so blasted important it couldn't wait a bit."
Deciding everything is where it should, Lorelei casts Prestidigitation on herself as a quick way to clean up. "All right, I'm ready to head back below deck and I can walk there myself." She laughs as she waves aside the arm you offered. Why do I get the feeling tomorrow is not going to be a good day for me?
"It's okay, little one," Odiseo cajoles. "If you come with me, I'll be able to get you something to eat."
As Fen picks up the otter and looks at it, the otter stares into Fens eyes, you can feel power and knowledge flowing from it into you, time seems to stand still after you name her Maya. An other worldly voice speaks to you in your mind, Ah another awakens to power, tell us young one, what patron do you wish to serve? and what low level spells do you wish to start your journey with.
Before you the world changes, A number of statues with different words carved beneath each one are before you in a chamber, a table at your height stands in the middle of the room with a short list,
choose one of the statues the stand before you as your patron, and from the list pick 6 spells, be quick we don't have much time after you pick out your spells and patron, time starts to move once more, and you can hear yourself finishing the word Maya.
everyone else ;P
Sandara Ah looks like the two love birds made it back, and oh look it is Ragnar too, good good i think we have enough to get started then. I am sure you know this already but this is not the best ship to draw attention on, if you do it looks like you die, and the captain doesn't care. After all he can just press more people after we would die. So I have a plan, it might not be easy or even work, but better then nothing. I say each of us trys to make as much of the lower crew friendly to us, even if it is just on a one on one basis, there is strength in numbers after all. but that is just one plan, anyone else have an idea? she moves her hand around to each person giving them time to respond if they wish.
Ragnar shrugs.
"Uhn't huhd muhj luhck muhckuhn fruhnz uhn muh tuhm... luht buhttuh uht muhkuhn uhuhmuhz. Buhd uh'll truh."
The Ulfen absent-mindedly scratches at his neck just under the puckered line of scar tissue.
Odiseo stifles a triumphant laugh as the monkey accepts him. He makes his way below decks to show everyone his discovery.
Lorelei shrugs. "Sure, why not. I can be friendly and give your plan a try. Not like I had one of my own other than just trying to jump ship at the first chance. 'Course that doesn't always work either."
Oh i am sure i will make lots of friends, Ornotck gives Lorelei a wink.
Looks over at Odiseo as he walks to them Is that a monkey. ha, looks like he made a friend already.
Sandara well unless anyone else has something to say, lets try our best on this, after all we don't want to be keelhauled, and a friend is less likely to report on us.
day 3
ragnar you are look out today, make a climb and perception check.
fen, you have to go fishing for turtles, make a survival check,
ornotck Lorelei, you are both runners today make a acrobatics check and a con check,
Odiseo, you are manning the bilges make a strength and con check
havok, you are swabbing the deck, make a strength or con check, you pick
No one dares to harass the group as you go up for your daily tasks, not after what happened yesterday.
Lorelei you have a slight headache and part of the night is a little blurry, but you know you could put it together if you tried.
Ornotck you are quite satisfied with how last night went, mostly the part after the whipping.
Havok, sandara is swabbing the deck with you, as are a fair number of the crew,
Odiseo, a young man named jack is down in the bilges with you.
fen, as your trying to catch turtles, it seems that Maya wants to help you, your call if you use her help.
Ragnar, Plugg makes fun of you a little and tell you a code you should use if you see something, because you cant speak normally,
take your actions as you will.
day action influence Samms Toppin
Now i am being nice about this, we can have this ride be easy or hard, if you see me or any of my friends doing anything, you say nothing, and we will all get along just fine, you got it?
Ragnar weathers Plugg's mockery without comment and ascends to the crow's nest, diligently attending to his duties and leaving the socializing for tonight.
Climb:
Perception:
As she wakes with an aching head, Lorelei tries to remember last nights events. Everything clicks into place when she realizes her head isn't the only body part aching. I can't believe I actually did that...More than that, I really can't believe I enjoyed it.
Lorelei is a bit slow as she goes about her daily duties, blushing when she sees Ornotck and cursing the bright sun that's making her head still ache. Maybe I should lay off the rum for a bit. Give my head time to clear.
Feeling back to her normal self after dinner. Lorelei finds one of the other female pirates (not one that attacked them eariler if possible) and starts up a chat with her. The topic being girl type problems encountered when living on a ship and tries to casually ask where she thinks the best place on the ship is to get a little privacy when needed. Blushing a bit as she manages to recall being interrupted not once, but twice.
Havok goes about his swabbing duties, content that he has his full allotment of recipes again. He notices Lorelei blushing throughout the day and shakes his head. Will never understand the appeal of "mating". Female goblins are beyond hideous... although... those two halfling woman are rather fetching.... He shakes his head to clear that line of thought. Would have to get rid of my social deterrent before I am able to attract a mate. Maybe I will look into bathing...
Havok grabs his rum ration and pockets it into one of his flasks.
Should really look into making this stuff into a better alcohol, I'm sure someone would appreciate not drinking this stuff, smells awful.
Havok goes to find Rosie, "Hi pretty Halfling lady, you like fiddle back? You play song for Havok? Havok likes songs!"
"Ugh." Odiseo groans as he mucks about in the bilge. As he sees Jack out of the corner of his eye, he remembers what Sandara had said last night.
"Y'know, when I heard stories about pirates when I was a kid, there was never any mention of being ankle deep in sludge at the bottom of a ship; it was all sword fights and swinging on ropes.
"What about you... it's Jack, right? Is this what you had in mind when you became a pirate?"
havok, fen, Lorelei, what are your day actions, the list of possible actions will be posted on discussion area, Lorelei need your job check as well.
day 3 partial results
Ragnar, You are able to make it safely up, and are able to see the area around you clearly, you can make a Knowledge (geography) or Profession (sailor) check to know where you are with a +2 from your vantage point if you wish. when you are done for the day Plugg says he has seen better work from a monkey.
Not this, that is for sure. I thought it would be all gold and women not this muck. but good to see someone else has to do this with me. Cant wait till we are done. Oh ya, here is a small gift i have been working on, after all now we are muck brothers he says with a smile, he hands you a small bone carving of a shark.
when the two of you are done Plugg can tell you did not do a passable job, Your lucky we already have tonight entertainment lined up with that he walks away. you are fatigued now.
night 3 partial actions
Everyone else that has not done your night actions do so now.
Scourge You now know the drill, Ragnar, Ornotck get up here and take you beatings. For spilling rum, Ragnar gets 6 lash's, he leaves it at that, leading everyone to guess why Ornotck is getting a lashing.
Plugg Well that was fun, now to drinking Grok brings out a large tub of rum, taking a large share for herself and sits down.
Sandara sneaks her way over to Ragnar and Ornotck, healing them I cant keep doing this for you two, learn to not get in trouble.
You manage to find Grok, the half orc quarter master sitting with her rather large cup of rum. As you start to small talk her the question you have comes up. grok Oh ya that problem, I bet with you newbies luck it was Plugg or scourge that found you, that would be funny. But i do have a place that I like to use for my own fun with who i want, You can use it for an hour when you ask me, she leans over and whispers into your ear, it is the quarter master room, it can lock from the inside. But if you take anything from there i will gut you. she backs away and laugh's. Giving a blush of her own when fish guts walks by.
Ya ya I know, cant keep needing you, but it was worth it this time. now off to make some friends Ornotck gets up and takes his share of rum
“Badger” Medlar
chat up for influence check
I am sure you have eather heard or saw what happens yesterday morning, I am sure you don't want to make us mad at you. so if you see me or any of my friends doing something, you don't say anything.
After this, Ornotck goes to find Lorelei. And sneaks up behind her grabbing her waist So you up for another round tonight, I bet we can find a better hiding spot then last time.
As she runs about the ship, Lorelei's a bit startled by the sight of the fellow tar/feathered and chained up. Looking about to make sure no one else is around, Lorelei takes a few minutes to try to talk to him. "Hello there, you seem to be quite the mess. Why was someone trying to dress you up like a chicken? Need any help getting cleaned up?
Later on, Orn completely fails to surprise Lorelei. "Well, it would be pretty darn hard to find a worse spot than last time. I'm honestly surprised I wasn't called up there for some lashes of my own. You sure you wanna risk more lashes just for another go round with me?"
|
Fen looks unsure for a minute as her new pet splashes around in the water, then looking around quickly, jumps in after her with a shriek of glee followed by a large splash.
Later that night at dinner she decides she's still not quite ready to try another dose of rum and quietly dumps it under the table.
Havok smiles as Rosie plays her song, he waits until she is finished, he takes a quick look around to make sure no one else is looking before speaking "You know, my smell is simply a social deterant. I've been thinking of bathing as it was never a priority before. Seems I left it too long now and the smell is now overpowering..."
If anyone passes by, "Havok think that good idea! Havok think you play beautifully..."
Day actions resolved complet
Night actions
Night actions still needed are, Fen, Ragnar, and odiseo. I will wait till tomorrow night, and if no actions are taken then you just go to sleep early and we start day 4
Ornotck looks at Lorelei up and down and smiles. You bet I want another round with you, those hits were nothing, so shall we go have some fun? after hearing Grok laugh at there expense he looks over at Lorelei. Oh what is this about a new spot, seems you wanted another round with me as much as i want one or more with you. Lead the way Grok we have some fun to get to He winks at Lorelei and offers his hand.
"Well, nice to meet you Owlbear, my name's Lorelei." Lore will hold out her hand to shake his and casts clw on him when he takes hold of her hand. Since she can't see underneath the tar, she has no idea if her still has any burns from its application. I'd really like to clean the poor fellow up, but they'd prolly just tar and feather him again and then lash me for cleaning him...
Lore blushes a little at Grok's laughter, but nonetheless takes Orn's hand as Grok leads the way to what she really hopes is a more private place than where they were last night.
Ragnar nods to Sandara, wincing as he rises. This time, he just drinks the damn rum.
Fortitude save:
Still punch-drunk from his lashes, the liquor hits hard. Ragnar stumbles back below decks and climbs into his hammock to recuperate.
About ten minuets after you get your day job assignments, all of you on deck can make a perception check
Scrimshaw rushes on to the deck, his face ashen. He talks with Mr Plugg and a group of large rats attacked him while he was cleaning the bilge.
Plugg gathers each of you up, You are all my "Volunteers" to go and look in the bilge, You have ten minuets to get down there and gather any thing you might need. Don't come back up unless everything down there is dead.....What are you waiting for move He moves his hand to his belt for a whip.
You can use this time to gather your gear, go shopping to buy/rent gear from grok, and no this will not count as your day action.
