RD's Skull & Shackles: Wormwood Mutiny (Inactive)

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

Well, there is nothing we can do right now, is it? Let's keep it up?

"Well, that was dangerous, really. Shall we keep moving to the shackle then?"

"Yes, need to press on. If we're quick we can get back to civilization and get people treatment before the disease becomes particularly dire. "

You would need anti-plague

Gotcha. I'm getting old, I can't keep these things straight anymore.

You search the fields and it appears there are no more nasties. Would you like to head inland to what looks like a man made area, or keep searching around by the beach?

"We should check out that structure. "

I agree, let check the structure.

"Indeed." Talfryn adds, holding his gun once more.

sorry about the gap. i tried posting yesterday but the stupid forums seemed down all day

You head up the path into a jungle. A well-built timber stockade surrounds a small lodge in a jungle clearing. Vines wrap and strangle a great tree that rises next to the lodge, blocking light from above. Next to the tree is a bubbling spring.

Jothas will take a careful look around. Any signs of life?

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Jothas sees a weathered spyglass sticking out above the stockade wall. He also notices that the spyglass has been deliberately fixed in that position. Also, there is a gate that is ajar.

"Anyone see anything? There's a spyglass yonder, but I don't see any movement and the gate is open. If we don't see anything I guess we ought to go in and check it out. "

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

I don't see anything, let's go check it out.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Looks clear to me."

The party goes in the stockade, and nothing jumps out at you. There is a tiny lodge, plus the spyglass that is fixed in its position.

Let's go.

"Might as well look in the lodge. "

again perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 to scope out the area inside the stockade.

You go in the lodge. It is a single chamber, loaded with furniture that looks like they came from a boat years ago. There is a huge stench of rot, and it is over powering. Flies are all around it.

Hanging from the rafters is a dead man with a wide leather collar attached to a chain.

On your way in, you turn towards the spyglass for just a second. You realize no one has examined it closely.

Johender stifles a gag reflex upon seeing the dead man, then quickly turns back toward the yard. I think I'll go examine the spyglass.

Johendar takes a peek through the spyglass. Low and behold..it is pointed at an area of the island where there are a pair of grindylows cavorting in the water of the cove.

Also, Jothas notices finds a silver ring sitting on the table inside the lodge.

"Somebody know how to figure out what killed him?"

Johender hustles back to tell the party what he saw. Looking through the spyglass, I spied grindylows!

Heal;Untrained: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Does his death appear to have happened recently? Did Grindylows kill him?

"Grindylows you say?" Talfryn asks looking closely at the body.

He appears dead for a while. However, when Talfryn inspects the corpse, it begins to move. It is an evil undead.

Linark garantees the body is not moving at all, before finding an alcove to bury it, if he can.
"Undeads everywhere! You've spotted the grindylows, you say? Shall we go after them now?"

Do we still have time before sundown?

Should we head down to where the creatures are...cavorting?

"Well that is the mission. We ought to get on it. "

You expect it to get dark pretty soon.

"Though looking at the hour, maybe we should rest up. I think we can make this place secure without much trouble. "

"It's better than the open field."
Linark starts to put aside his extra equipment, but will take a walk around the place before removing his armor to sleep.

Johender begins looking for a place to sleep. We should set watches obviously, and I doubt we should attempt a fire.

"Agreed, a fire might attract the grindylows."

"Let's just secure the gate set watches and get some rest. I can take middle watch I suppose. "

You secure the gate and go to night watch sleep mode.

Everyone roll a fort save, as you have all been bit my mosquitoes.

Also, who got sick with the fever?

Johender got sick.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

If you didn't get sick yesterday, you are doing a DC13 fort save.

fort save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

woohoo! I am awesome!

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Shew!

fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Linark has takein a little bit of disease.

Is that what you mean?

I admit, I looked to check who the heck was Ariel...

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 Yay, saved!

Is that everyone? Are we ready to move on?

ready

READY!
