Razor Coast Texas Style!

CSW was the plan, assuming Silas and the others are on board with us all getting smaller shares

I vote yes, let me know if I have any money left out of the share, havent added it yet, was waiting for expenses out of it first.

whatever Ivar said, 270 each or so after the wands.

Happy to agree.

Let me know when you are ready to go.

Ok so lets do it and go... I think after that we are ready unless someone has something else to do

I'm ready.

good to go

Lets rock and roll!

The isle is overgrown with foliage, mostly tangled
weeds and wildflowers, but the towering Beacon
Light rises from the untamed undergrowth like a
colossus. Along the Light’s sides, spirals of black
and white paint peel away, exposing the ugly gray
stone like the scales of a fish torn off to reveal the
soft tissue beneath. The Beacon Light stands dark
where once brightness shone forth, directing ships to
safe harbor.

Back at sea, It is like being home; a deck under my feet the wind in the sails, the spray of the salt water, this is the life for me. Looking at the Island as they approach and then the towering light house. she has certainly fallen into neglect. Staying near the fore of the ship, Ivar, shield and axe in hand, mentally attempts to prepare of any surprises.

Is there a shallow cove, or a dock, or are we rowing a skiff in?

You will need to row in. The western shore offers the best approach.

As they sail toward the western shore, Ivar waits for the command to drop anchor, after the anchor is lowered he uncovers on of the skiffs and using ropes and pulleys, swings it out over the side of the boat and lowers it to the water, turning to he party he says, "I do not mind helping row the skiff, but I may be of greater value under the waves to watch for anything unusual." He then shoulders his shield and dives over the rail into the warm salt water, taking the form aof a Manta Ray, keeping near the skiff.

perception: under water: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Nothing unusual in the water here.

Silas looks about. Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

What time of day is it?

About mid day

Uraisa helps the others row the skiff. She doesn't want to use her animal shifting abilities just yet. She looks around as she moves in her way to the island.

Perception 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42

You should be able to row to the island without any issues.

The most prominent feature of the island is the lighthouse which sits dark and weathered upon the hill.
Give me an order of march so we can proceed.

Uraisa should probably take her second spot to use her Perception, but with someone a little more durable in front.

I assume Oro-Tu is in the front, Ivar is happy to bring up the rear to protect all the squishy backsides :) especially when were outside and more susceptible to surprise attacks from the rear or flanks.

Plus it stops him getting frisky and putting his foot in it. My suggestion would be

Oro-Tu
Uraisa
Silas
Aurora
Leiahola
Beth
Ivar

Sounds good to me.

Oro-Tu leads the way, stalking ahead through the foliage.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Uriasa keeps her attention razor sharp as they approach.

Perception 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35

As you approach the lighthouse you find the corpse of a pirate tangled in the weedy growth that covers the island. Once a small wiry man with a scraggly unkempt beard, his lightly decomposed body lies contorted into a near impossible pose.

Oro-Tu calls for a halt, familiar with dangerous indigenous plants. He looks to see if some plant did that to his body, alerting the others.

Know nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Axe and shield in hand, Resisting the urge to bolt past his friends and attack the nearest plant, Ivar calmly searches the area behind them for any sign of attack.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 10

You can make a survival check to see what happened to him

Survival 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Uraisa looks at the scene laid out in front of her very carefully.

There is a puncture wound near the center of his chest. He appears to have been poisoned.

Uraisa points out the wound. "He's been poisoned by something. Not sure if it was a plant, animal, or humanoid that got him."

Oro-Tu approaches carefully,as no one has seen anything yet, and prods the body once with his polearm before recovering it to look the body over.

casting true strike on approach and Tracking Mark once there and have wand of bulls strength ready action for surprise/1st round for anyone near me or myself if no target available.

Uraisa, be ready with those "Barkskins" when we spot danger for the frontline, that was a good strategy before; Ivar make sur you stay with the rest of the party, you dont do well as a solo

Perception/Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Survival to identify/follow tracks: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 plus tracking mark

Ivar rolls his eyes when he hears Aurora say 'solo' smiling to himself, little does she know, she's right I do better in a shield wall keeping his axe ready and his head on a swivel.

Oro-Tu also checks the area for any signs of the cause of the poison, whether a struggle with another creature or some other sign. Survival: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

Wyvern.

Oro-Tu grunts, "Wyvern sting. Keep eyes open to the skies. Must have nest on island."

He checks to see if the man resembles the description of the missing Tulita and for anything on his person.

Silas looks about for any potential nest sites. perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

"Have a look around. We should go into the lighthouse first unless something really obviously spells wyvern nest."

A small island, Beacon Island served as an outpost for Port Shaw decades ago. A lighthouse was constructed here to guide merchant ships safely through the network of hazardous shoals surrounding Kai Bay. Five years ago, the last lighthouse keeper and his family disappeared; and since then, this accursed lighthouse stands unmanned. Passing ships report spotting a clutch of wyverns circling the top of the lighthouse.

I guess you missed this?

lol yeah missed the last line. So does it match guys description? Any items in possession? If not will continue on.

He has boots and a rapier.

Uraisa will detect magic on the items, knowing the pirate no longer needed any of his spoils where he went.

The boots are magical, the rapier is not but the scabbard is.

At Uraisia's signal he pulls the boots and the rapier from the dead man and hands them to her. He then takes up the trail again.

Spellcraft boots 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Spellcraft scabbard 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

boots of elvenkind

Uraisa calls out the properties of the boots to the others. "I know someone will make good use of these boots."

probably for now either silas or me. I would have about 13 stealth with them on. Not that the barbarian sneaking ahead is usually a good idea but if Silas ever goes sneaking I could accompany him without giving him away.

I'm on +20 though we don't tend to do much sneaking - think that's partly being on a PBP game. So probably best for Oro.

Silas has a look at the unidentified scabbard.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

I will use them for now unless someone else wants them, then.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Survival: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Oro-Tu blazes the trail watching for any hazards along the way, with the help of Uraisia's keen eyes.
