Round 1
Allie draws her dagger and swims around towards the tail of the shark attacking the Sandman. She waits for an opportunity to strike its unguarded flank.
Standard Action: draw dagger
Move: Swim behind shark
Amamer kicks through the water, away from the sharks and aims another ray at the one attacking Conner.
"آرامش خودت را حفظ کن" she calls, and....
stupid sharks Connor is starting to get upset at his complete miss of the shark.
Sandman kicks back in surprise and throws his hands out in front of him, glad for the luck that saved him from being sharkfood.
Allende treads water. "Besmara, lets send these oversized guppies to their doom."
Connor's cutlass scraps along the sharks side but the tough hide resists being cut. Sandman's hex fails to put the other shark to sleep. The sharks begin circling the party threateningly.
Allende swims towards Ashrem, trying to fight back to back. He prepares to swing at a shark if it comes towards them.
Ashrem submerges a little below the surface and summons a burst of stormy seas around the shark close to Allende.
Allie swims in amidst her companions, hoping that the shark will not attack a group. She keeps her dagger at the ready.
Sandman grits his teeth in frustration and targets the other shark with his signature hex.
Amamer swims towards the Sandman and casts another Color Spray at the shark he didn't manage to put to sleep. (DC 15)
Conner will swim to the closest shark
Both Sharks fall asleep and being sharks they sink to the bottom and drown. You are now free to swim back to the ship in safety.
"Thank you Ananmer." Sandman rumbles, treading water and watching the sharks sink.
"Don't worry too much about Kroop seeing these. He's a good man underneath the rum. It's the rest of the officers I worry about." Ashrem tell Allie on the way back to the ship.
Kroop has sobered up some by the time you get back to the ship and worse Cutthroat Grok is in the Galley with him when you deliver the Crab and Reefclaw pincers to him. Grok see's Allie fumble retreiving the gold from one of the crabpots.
She grabs Allies hand What is this you've got here Matie?She asks
"A couple of the boys got a bit randy after our run-in with the reefclaw," Allie replies, matter-of-factly. "I made it clear to then that I would not be taken, but that I could be bought. I hid the money because I know that certain unscrupulous members of the crew would try to claim it as salvage, or outright steal it from me."
She pulls her hand away from Grok, and tucks the coins inside her bodice. She gives the half-orc an appraising look. "Are you interested in sampling my wares, as well? If so, let's negotiate. If not, that's fine, but hands off my wages."
So you had a little fun, neck deep in the ocean? Nice try girlie, now tell me the truth or you go to the captain. The half-orc woman glares at you.
"It's Ashrem's. He found it scattered on the reef. I offered to stash it for him, in exchange for keeping some of the more repugnant crew members away from me. Go ahead and take it," she says, retrieving the coin from her cleavage. "I'll tell Ashrem who took his gold, and let him deal with you," she says in a disinterested tone.
That story is a little better. Grok say. All plunder is supposed to belong to the captain until he decides to split it up. I should march you all to the Captain but Allende and Ashrem are good mates. The lot of you cut me and Kroop in for a share of what you found and This stays between us.
Allie laughs, "Shares? Sure. Considering what he managed to scrounge," she plunks 4 gold coins in pairs down on the galley table. "Any more would leave none for your good mates. Don't spend it all in one pub."
Grok laughs Your a hard one ain't ya girl. Grok pockets the offered coins. Let me give you some advice lass. Learn who your friends are and be fair with em. You'll need friend ye can depend on, especially on a ship like the wormwood.
The Captain is pleased with the crab and even more please with the Reefclaw. He give Kroop a potion of cure moderate wounds as a reward. Kroop passes the reward on to you.
After a hard day, Allie decides she could use a drink. She takes the rum without complaint.
She meets up with her gang, and returns the coins that were stashed in the pots ( paying Grok and Kroop for her own share).
"Grok caught me retrieving the coins, but I took care of it. Just don't go flashing coins all over. She thinks we found less than we did," she whispers.
The rum hitting her, Allie decides to flirt with the surly Crimson Cog. "Does anything make a crack in the stony scowl?" she asks him. "Sometimes, soft things are verrry nice, although you look like you're hard all over," she says with a wink and giggle.
Sandman takes his rum ration and joins his fellows, sprinkling a little bluish dust into it and whispering as he raises the small cup.
Amamer drinks her rum and gets particularly blitzed, after which she plops down on the deck beside Maheem and looks up at him.
"Too bad we didn't have you out at the reef today," she says, ignoring his hostile expression. "You would've made short work of those sharks I bet."
Maheem scowls down at Amamer when she first speaks to him. Go away little bug, or Maheem will eat you. he growls when the scowl fails to make Amamer leave.
Allie's teasing makes Crimson Cogward blush bright red to his ears but he stays where he is and attempts to hide a smile behind his cup of grog.
several members of the crew have minor injuries from the days work. those friendly to the group come to Sandman for care.
Sandman was his usual smiling, helpful self as he saw to the minor wounds of the injured crewmen. They all got superb treatment and simple advice for avoiding future injury.
Allende continues to try to make friends with Badger.
but the half elf just seem to have taken an unreasonable dislike to the young cleric.
He thanks Allie as he gets his share. "Sounds like you thought fast on your feet. Good Job."
The heat of the day fades only a little through the night. Bellow decks it is hot and muggy making sleeping difficult. You wake to a cloudless sky. From the moment the sun climbs above the horizon the heat hammers on the ship. there is no place to escape the heat between the decks is hotter than on deck. By noon everyone is dripping sweat and tempers are short.

Ashrem has no trouble completing his days tasks.
Fortune favors Allie today as the fish seem to be plentiful. A couple of casts of the net yield enough fish for the evening meal.
She decides to drop-in to the quartermaster's store and see what her new friend Grok has for sale.
Once again, Sandman sings sea chanteys while he hauls and coils rope, keeping up a steady practiced rhythm with Ashrem and Connor, trying to make the coils as easy for Allende to climb with as possible.
Amamer heads down to the bilges with a fearful look on her face. The last thing she wants to do is spend the day down in that heat and filth, but there is no choice. She grits her teeth and works hard, getting the job done, but by the end of the day, she barely has the energy to drag herself on deck.
With the heat of the day beating down on him, Allende uses his familiartiy with the task to make the job a little easier.
he easily finishes the job and is barely winded.
Cut-throat Grok is in a good mood today and greets Allie with a toothy grin. What can we do for you today wench? She asks.
"Well...I was curious to see what you had in stock. Anything a gal might need to be a right proper pirate?"
Well girl your a little lightly armed. I have a number of weapons here if you have the coin and the skill to use them. Grok lays out a number of weapons for Allie to look at.
a starknife
3 cutlasses
a masterwork light crossbow
3 masterwork daggers
10+ of masterwork darts
10+ regular daggers
a +1 shortsword
and a masterwork warhammer
I have armor and other gear back here as well. So tell me what you want and I may have it.
Connor also has no trouble with the days tasks.
"How much coin do I need, say for one of these?" Allie asks, picking up one of the masterwork daggers.
Well, normally a dagger this fine would cost you 300 gold pieces, buts since we are friends I can let you have it it for 200. Grok says The captain knows these are here and takes a cut of anything I sell them for, so I can't give you anymore of a break than that.
Allie sets the fine dagger back down on the counter and turns her attention to the pile of more ordinary daggers.
"How about these, what are going for?"
those are servicable enough and only cost 3 gold peices each.
