Notes
Actions-
Boldwin grunts as he is struck by the creature's glancing blow, but is surprised to find himself grappled by it. Nonetheless, he makes no attempt to break its hold on him, instead swinging away at it.
Dhugal continues to sneak attack the creature.
Ambrose is alerted by the violent splashing in the water. Searching around for the source, he spots the attacking reefclaws. Armed with no weapons, he treads water and casts his only prepared offensive spell. A swirling orb of black fire appears in his hand and he hurls it at the one near Sh'torek.
Out of spells, Ambrose resorts to some quick thinking. He wracks his brain for any forgotten knowledge about reefclaws and their natural predators and conjures up a silent image of one rising from under the reef, hoping to scare them away.
Sh'torek continues his weak assault upon the lobster like creature.
Ambrose finishes off the monster holding Boldwin, while Sh’torek fails miserably to hit his.
Dughal swim closer and dispatch the monster with a well placed blow.
Reefclaws have a really tasty meat.
”All praises for Besmara! Those dammed monsters. I was afraid for a second there.”
She says and soon after, a burst of holy magic heal your wounds.
”Pity they killed the mood, right?”
Dhugal climbs back on the ship and dumps the crabs on the deck.
Once away from prying ears, he mutters darkly, "On the contrary, this has only enhanced my mood for blood. But next time, it will be Scourge and his cronies that I will sink my dagger into."
Managing to make it back with his own crab load, Sh'torek nods a firm assent to Dhugal's claim, he himself becoming tired of the treatment from the whip wielding man.
Boldwin groans, feeling sluggish despite his unsubstantial wound being healed. As he pulls the strange creature's corpse off himself, he looks down on it, frowning thoughtfully. Figuring that he didn't want to return to the ship empty-handed, he grabs the two dead creatures by their tails and heads on back with the others.
You all get back to the ship, Boldwin helps Ambrose cook dinner, and they use the reefclaw for the captain, and since you brought a lot of crabs, they were made for the crew.
After dinner, Captain Harrigan summons Boldwin. At his feet, all the gear he had before he was press ganged into service.
”They told me it was your idea, bringing those reefclaws. I appreciate it. It was a wonderful meal. For you service, I’ll return your thing. I expect you keep the good work sailor.” with that, the cabin girl, pick up the things and deliver it to you.
==/==
Things fall back in routine again; you have to work, work, and work.
Whenever you fail to complete one of your duties, you are beaten into unconsciousness by Mister Plugg, before being dragged into the crew bunk again.
"You failed me last time Ambrose. Things you were supposed to fix, and you damaged them. I did not reported you to Plugg, because I still want you as my assistant. Do not fail me again." says a tired looking Peppery Longfarthing.

The Day 14 begins, this time you were all excused from the day work. Instead of Master Scourge, you were directed, everyone, Ambrose included, to learn some vital pirate skill.
Today is the Boarding School!
Riaris Krine, the Wormwood’s master gunner, is waiting for you at the main deck (A3). Krine’s skin is darkened from countless days on deck under the sun, and her nose has the appearance of having been broken several times over. One of her legs has been replaced with a wooden peg leg, she may be the most vile-tongued wench you have ever met, and her language makes Rosie Cusswell sound like a nun.
”So here we f~$#ing are with a bunch of suckling babies. If ye were expecting go off easy, remember the only easy thing you ever got was your mother t%%%, and a whore pussy. I don’t expect any good from any of you. I doubt you even know how to jerk off. Babies one and all. Grappling hooks are an essential part of piracy, used to grapple enemy ships and draw them closer for boarding. Being able to use them is therefore considered a vital pirate skill. “
Krine orders the jolly boat on the main deck (area A3) to be launched at dawn for the day’s work. She takes two characters out at a time to instruct them in using grapples.
The pairs are: Dughal and Ambrose, Boldwin and Sh’torek.
The exercise consists of the characters in the jolly boat throwing grapples onto the Wormwood from 40 feet away, tying the rope off, and then boarding the Wormwood by climbing along the rope.
Throwing a grappling hook (Core Rulebook 155) requires a ranged attack roll, treating the hook as a thrown weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. The Wormwood’s rail is AC 5. At 40 feet away, the PCs have a –6 on their attack rolls. Once the hook is set, the PC must tie off the rope as a move action, then shimmy along the rope, requiring DC 15 Climb checks.
Krine gathered some random soldiers, to ‘help’ her in this test, once you start climbing, they will start to climb, the four pirates aboard the Wormwood hurl a variety of rotting food, garbage, empty bottles, and buckets of bilgewater at you. Each time they hit, you’ll need a reflex DC 10 to avoid falling in the water.
If you fall, a DC 10 swims to the jolly boat and await other instructions.
The attacks below are from the Sailors aborad:

Day 12
Day 13
Day 14
Shtorek looks upon the task and mentally sighs, but keeps his outward appearance stoic as he moves to take his turn. Raring back, he tosses the hook...
...and barely manages to catch it on the railing of the boat. Tying off his end, he takes a deep breath and begins climbing.
Dhugal will take 10 on the climb checks.
He successfully dodges the food and garbage.
@Dughal.
Boldwin merely nods to the captain in gratitude, knowing better than to speak to him directly. The brass knuckles and armor had been all he really needed up to that point, but it was nice to have his belongings back.
The two days go on without a hitch, even when Kroop is drunk out of his mind.
Boldwin makes it about five feet before falling into the water with a loud splash. Muttering about how much he hates ropes, the dwarf swims back to the boat, fully expecting to get beaten again.
"Well there goes my streak o' decent days..."
Dugal also falls in quickly.
Ambrose bows his head. "It will not happen again, Ms. Longfarthing." He grinds his teeth, remembering the sorry state of the old instruments. That day he makes sure to double and triple check every bit of rope and piece of stored sail. Taking stock of the rum stores, he notices a substantial quantity that appears to be missing. Even taking into account the extra rum the Kroop must consume on his own, it doesn't add up.
"Mister Kroop, in taking stock of our rum stores today I have discovered an alarming discrepancy. I was hoping that you might be able to shed some light on the matter. I certainly do not expect that you yourself have managed to consume nearly half a tun in the last three months, but perhaps you might know if someone has been helping themselves? I understand that there are a number of those among the crew that might be complicit. Please understand, I am in no way interested in seeking punishments for anyone; I merely seek to resolve the matter."
Checking the log book is a simple, if tedious, matter. As is typical of the written records, they seem almost obsessively well-kept. Bemused by this, Ambrose raises the matter with Peppery. "Ms. Longfarthing, the records aboard the Wormwood seem curiously tidy for a pirate ship. I have observed you to be a diligent and attentive officer, but this seems a bit...excessive."
While performing his nightly prayers to Asmodeus, Ambrose overhears Maheem scoffing, muttering something that sounded blasphemous. Regarding him coolly with his red-on-black eyes, he matter-of-factly responds, "Fear not, you godless cur. Asmodeus has a special place for you and yours. By his command, Belial will have your soul cast into a brick and you will have the honor of being part of Hell's masonry for all of eternity. Perhaps you might even be built into the library where record of your transgressions is kept."
After an impressive display of incompetence with a grappling hook, Ambrose takes a rotten cabbage directly to the skull, knocking him into the water. Stunned, he flails about in the water, unable to properly swim.
Krine look at you all, evident disgust in her face ”What ya all f#!& think we are f$#~ing doing here? Stop playing like f~~%ing whores and climb the f~%@ing ropes again! And someone help that f~+%ing embarrassing piece of s+~$ that can’t even swim!” she yells.
Boldwin is able to climb out about ten feet on his second attempt, holding on even when a bottle breaks against his shoulder. Nonetheless, he ends up losing his balance and falling into the water again.
Once again he swims back to the boat, unammused.
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4
Dhugal again falls in the water after being hit in the head with a cabbage.
Round 1
Grabbing a hold of the rope and beginning to climb, Sh'torek sees trash being flung his way. As he deftly avoids it, he loses his grip and falls in anyway, becoming more and more agitated at the stupid test as he swims back.
Ambrose sputters water as he's hauled back aboard the jolly boat. He takes a long look at the Wormwood and smoke begins to leak from his eyes as he fumes. Drawing arcane sigils in the air, he mutters the words for a spell and a thick fog appears along the rails of the ship. Satisfied, he sets to work with his grappling hook.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Ambrose use a spell to block the sailors line of sight, while he climb the rope.
But before he has even started to climb the rope, she fall in the water again, his concentration being broken and the spell vanishing.
Dughal managed to climb the boat, but Krine spared him only a glance.
Her attention focused in the others that were still trying.
She smiles when Ambrose uses the spell to block the vision, and laughs really hard when he falls into the water.
”Is that the best ya got?” she spits ”Boys” she says turning to the sailors throwing stuff at him ”you don’t need to throw anything at him this time. He’ll fall all by himself!” she says laughing.
Then she turns to the others.
”have you no f##@ing shame? Get that filth ass up here. Climb the damn rope!”
But the sailors are ready to trown at you.
Again, Boldwin makes it about ten feet before falling into the water.
Tired and agitated from the constant climbing, Sh'torek grabs for the rope with one hand, then throws his other hand up to grab on as well. Misjudging it terribly, he falls in once again.
Once again Ambrose tries to climb, only to fall.
Krine makes another disgusting face, looking at the three of you still unable to climb.
”We are done for today. I’m praying for a battle, only to see you die, trying to climb aboard the enemy ship.” she then spit and leave you in the deck.
After the boarding ‘school’ things get back to the same routine in the woornwood.

Day 16
Day 15
Boldwin is more than happy to share a drink with Kroop, who turns out to be not so bad when he is sober. He shows genuine interest in Kroop's stories, for a moment remembering the times he used to spend back at port. The dwarf lays it on a bit thick with the flattery this time around, trying again to curry the cook's favor.
Day 16
The previous day was fun, but leaves Kroop dead drunk. Luckily, Boldwin does really need his help this time around.
Surprised by Peppery's little tantrum, Ambrose barely suppresses his mirth. "Rejection was never my intention, Ms. Longfarthing. I simply mean to see that I do not wear out my welcome. And," he adds after a moment, "between you and Scourge, my back does require some time to recover."
Dughal is a suspicious person, almost every night he sneaks out while Sh’torek and Boldwin snores loudly in their bunks.
Every night, spying on Mr Plugg and Scourge, but his suspicious is not unfunded; every night Scourge does his best to convince Plugg that his friends are trouble. Last night, as it seems, Plugg if finally convinced of that too.
==/==
Using his ‘free’ time, Ambrose ventures into the bilges, collect the maces, and sell it to Grok. Using this as excuse, he starts a conversation with the always half-drunk half orc.
After some more conversation, he is able to convince the woman that it’s best interest for all, to have the group retrieve their belongings.
Therefore, once again, begins your day in the wormwood. However, things seems to be different now.
Part of the crew, that one didn’t cared about you, now seems unfriendly. Those you knew that didn’t liked you, are way more hostile.
As you walk about, it’s not hard to happen you bump into someone, chances that they use to deliver a punch, a kick. If Scourge sees it, he pretend he didn’t. Worse, Mr Plugg has taken directly interest in you all. Wherever you go, there’s someone observing you, whenever he has a change, he humiliate you in from of the crew, making them laugh about you.

Boldwin is more than happy to spend time in the kitchen again, even with Kroop drunk. Anything to get away from the other crew members. Usually he wouldn't pass up a chance to punch in someone's nose, but even he could tell that something was up.
Day 17
The dwarf practically butchers the pig with his eyes closed. Unfortunately, he totally botches the actual preparation. He simply sighs in resignation, fully expecting to get the crap beaten out of him
Day 18
With Kroop sober and doing most of the work, Boldwin asks some questions about cooking, figuring that it was about time he actually get good at it instead of relying on miracles.

You eat breakfast, and head to your work, vile as it is. But Plugg and Scourge stops you before you can get there.
”Well, well, look who is here. The lady rescuer, the storm swimmer.” says Plugg and Sourge laughs at appears to be an inside joke.
Both of then, however grab you, and search for any hidden weapon.
Then, they sent you on your way.
==//==
@Sh'Torek
As you get in the bilges, there are two others pirates working there.
Maheem,a big Rahadoumi with a permanent scowl and Slippery Syl Lonegan. You remember them from your second day. The same ones that went down to pick a fight with you.
Both carries a hidden dagger.
Sh'torek looks curiously at Plugg and Sourge as they laugh, wondering what it is they find so funny. As he moves down to the bilges, he then understands. Seeing two of the crew he clearly remembers, he catches sight of their weapons but says nothing and proceeds to get to work. Noticing several items, he picks up the shield first, the tanglefoot bag next and then the rest.
You start working and between the pest killing, you pick up the items.
Not one hour has passed when the one pirates accuses you of slacking.
”ye sea rat, stop messing ‘round and work!” Maheem says and he is soon joined by Lonegan. ”Me have bin watchin you since start! Ya done nothing but to kill time!”
”We’ll show you how to kill time, f@%*er!” says Maheem drawing his hidden dagger, Lonegan doing the same.
