"Mine's down! Who needs help?"

"That would be all of us," Krokod says, "Half of us are either down, dying, or close to it."

Krokod's sling connects with the kech on Poulain.

shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Poulain misses his target. The idea of someone trying to kill a small snake with a bow and arrow seems crazy unto itself.

Krokod

style points for skewering snakes longwise. Snake kebabs!

Sensible or not, Krokod is not approaching any foe in hand to hand at this time, not when the slightest strike could take him out. Again he slings, this time at the snake.

Combat Over

Faruq runs to the pilot house and comes back with a couple of potions and first gives one to Corax CMW 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

"Now, where were we?"

Corax comes too, groggily. She looks at the debris around her and shakes her head ruefully. "A few snakes and I couldn't last the fight."

She stands - albeit with a wobbly stance and moves to the side of the boat, looking out into the distance. She seems to be in her own world.

Angelo continues a successful impersonation of a pile of black rags kicked around on the deck. If anyone listens closely, they might hear a slight moan as the rocking of the boat causes the pile of rags to shift.

Faruq rushes over to Angelo and pours a CLW potion down his gully 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

You need to be more careful, you run back and forth without killing your enemies first, you be dead next time. says Faruq to Angelo.

"Ze poison, ees bad. Ze jungle, ees death. And zat one," indicating the recovering Angelo, "is zee fool 'oo killed your predecessor."

Angelo looks around blearily "I'll keep your advice in mind next time I try to help a comrade in distress. Perhaps Pharasma punishes me for trying to cheat her."

"But, Pharasma mi perdoni, I think I'll continue on trying to skirt the vale of the shadow. Who is most grievously hurt? Is anyone feeling ill effects of the snakes' poison?" Angelo sets about treating snake bites and bandaging wounds.

@Poulain - Angelo was going to have something complementary (and potentially witty and entertaining) to say about Poulain's outstanding shootiness. Poulain has, as usual, found exactly the right thing to say to distance himself from comradeship. :) shades of gray are a marvelous thing.

Heh. He'd probably not know how to take it!

Krokod nearly collapses from exhaustion, "I need to rest. I need time to restore my power. My apologies for not being...more effective." He will detect magic on what the Ketch left, though he doubts he'll find anything. After that, he plans to rest and heal.

Before folks prepare to rest, Angelo uses his last three CLWs on himself, Krokod, and Corax. He'll also tend everyone's wounds, using a healer's kit. He offers Faruq a replacement potion, and helps convince him to take some rest and tending.

Angelo
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Krokod
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Corax
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Poulain
heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Faruq
heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
So... everyone except Angelo and Corax get double healing rate overnight (if we get there relatively undisturbed. Corax - i dunno what to tell you, maybe you soaked up too much venom?

The big Half-Orc Faruq says, "Thank You Angelo!"

Are you ready to continue?

For the rest of the day there is no incident and you advance another 30 miles since the beginning of the day and Selim anchors the boat in order to avoid danger.

Next Day

Random Encounter morning 1d100 ⇒ 22

You wake up the next morning and continue up river and then at about 11 am, Hurg the old arthritic dwarven engineer comes out of the engine room livid as the boat slows to a stop and starts going backwards. Before the boat loses 20 feet in the opposite direction Faruq tosses the anchor.

Hurg says, "I need help with the engine, I for the life of me cain't get, sometimes fresshhh eyes is what you need"

Knowledge Engineering DC 25, please to make the fixes

Angelo continues to be intrigued by the ship's engine, though somewhat dismayed at a request to attempt to repair it. Angelo follows Hurg to the engine, and tries to understand what's wrong.

@Edwin - can't do it untrained. How does Use Magic Device grab you? or is it specifically a mechanical issue?

Not an expert at machinery, Jean-Phillipe examines the engine as best he can. perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

You can give me a profession sailor, or a magic device check

Profession: Sailor: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Poulain gets a wrench and looks around and is able to get the engine started, which then requires 1 more hour to charge up before
travel can resume. After the hour, Faruq pulls up the anchor and the River Queen starts chugging back up river.

GM Rolls Afternoon 1d100 ⇒ 92

The river queen is able to travel 27 miles during this day and nothing else of import happens the rest of the day, periodically, Angelo and Krokod cast healing on injured members of the party, from the day before and cure poison on those who were poisoned.

6th day on the boat.

GM Rolls Morning 1d100 ⇒ 44,
GM Rolls Afternoon 1d100 ⇒ 61

The boat travels up river without incident, around 2pm the boat passes the fork where the lower Vanji meets the greater Vanji
