Oooh, I wonder if there is still food on that ship.
Lunthawg heads to the edge of the deck and peers off in the direction of the wreckage. He looks around for any possible danger, despite his desire for spoils.
Deron readies his shield and draws his sword. The tattooed man stands silently and still in the center of the deck and awaits whatever comes to them.
Lunthawg
Lunthawg starts jumping up and down and pointing towards the wreckage.
Something blurry and fast just jumped off the boat! Somebody's still there I think...or maybe whatever crashed them!
Ragnar yells: Eyes to water lads, it could be someone swimming to us us in hopes of rescue or something hoping to attack us. Either way, I will not have us caught unaware. Ragnar motions over to the longboat. Jens, Signe, prepare the longboat in case we need to get to the wreck for rescue or salvage. I'll not be risking the ship getting in close to those reefs.
Hoga asks Ragnar, Do you want me to go with the longboat?
Olaf, Jens, batten the sails and drop anchor. We'll not be leaving until we know if there are any survivors. Ragnar nods at Hoga. Go help Signe finish lowering the boat and then board it. He looks over to the rest of you. Anyone else feeling brave enough to go and look at the wreck?
Deron walks to the boat without a word and prepares to board.
On the boat!
Patch puffed up, making sure Signe saw him getting on the boat with the others. Once aboard, he drew his cutlass and scanned the waters as they approached the wreck.
Lunthawg waits and tries to stay out of the way as it is lowered. He then excitedly boards it though says nothing while doing so. He hasn't bothered to bring weapons, clearly either assuming he doesn't need them during fights or having forgotten them.
Once on board, Hoga readies his bow, and also looks to the wreck.
Percep:
Nimwi takes notice as the wreck is called out. At the call that something jumped off, he races below decks and comes back a moment later carrying a strange object under one arm and a pair of long fin looking things in the other. He looks out toward the wreck, scanning the water back to the ship.
As the longboat is lowered, Nimwi asks Ragnar, 'Would you have me look for whoever abandoned the wreck?'
Looking at the bundle and fins in Nimwi's arms, Ragnar replies; We're still a fair distance from the wreck for you to be trying to swim the whole way there. Take your gear with you on the longboat and look once you're closer.
Having finished the with the sails and anchor, Olaf now climbs up to the crows nest armed with a bow and Jens watches over the side holding a cutlass.
After the lot of you board the longboat and head off toward the wreck, those that made a check of 10 or better see
Deron sits in the boat, still and wary. He makes no move to take an oar and still has his scimitar and shield at the ready.
Lunthawg looks out into the water and doesn't row, assuming that people larger than he will want to take the oars.
Initiative:
Patch tensed, his grip tightening on his cutlass as he watched the figure speed closer. Sweat ran down the sides of his face. Something big headed our way under the water, buckos, he warned the others. And here... it... comes!
Hey, look!
Deron readies himself to attack anything hostile emerging from the water. While doing so he sits motionless in the center of the boat.
Hoga nocks an arrow, hoping for a shot.
Leaving his equipment resting at his feet, Nimwi readies his trident against attack.
Lunthawg starts to bounce up and down before staring at the creature and chanting in goblin.
npc initiative
What you see is a scaly humanoid with a long fish-like tail and hands and feet ending in webbed claws and having some really big teeth. You may make a Knowledge-nature roll to recognize a
As the creature breaches the surface of the water, it has one clawed hand reaching out towards your boat as if to grab it and the other hand is holding a trident that is pointing in your direction. It's intentions do appear hostile. It is one 5ft square from the boat when it surfaces.
Saving throw vs Hex:
Hoga, you may roll for a shot now as your readied action.
Longbow
Dmg
Deron remains sitting even as the creature emerges from the water and arrows fly. It is not until it reaches the boat that he moves and makes his strike.
Lunthawg moves away to let the more martial people get a clear shot or swing on the creature.
Can Hoga get close enough to take a swing?
If so:
If not:
Patch snarled back at the monster, slashing at it with his cutlass. Back to the briny deep, fishguts!
Nimwi takes a step forward and thrusts his own trident at the fanged maw of the vile creature.
Nimwi takes a step back to give his companions more room and draws his scorpion whip. He lashes out at the creature.
Deron, Patch and Nimwi have left the Sahuagin covered in blood, but the wounds it received has seemed to drive it into a frenzy as it finishes its climb into your boat, dangerously tipping the boat forward and making the lot you need to make an acrobatics check to maintain your balance dc 10.
It will finish its action by stabbing at Deron with its trident as it snarls in anger:
Deron attempts to balance on the now rocking boat.
Upon regaining his balance, he uses his momentum to lay into the Sahaugin with as much force as he could manage.
Patch balanced in the pitching boat, his sea legs coming in handy. He tried to help Hoga, Nimwi and Deron drive off the scaly menace, but the rocking boat made it hard.
The creatures frenzy failed to draw blood from any of you and under the onslaught of your attacks it has now fallen over the prow of the boat, floating belly up like a dead fish, his trident falling loose from his now limp hand to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Do you now continue on to the wreck or go back to the ship?
Hoga wants to go on to the wreck.
The tattooed man holds a hand out to help the goblin back into the boat. Once settled he nods towards the wreck to indicate they should move on. After washing and cleaning his sword he resumes his seat in the boat and keeps a wary eye on the water.
Rinsing his cutlass in the sea, Patch grinned at the others. If we bone it, I'll make another set of pipes! With only a quick look to see if the monster had anything of value, he settled into the boat and prepared to board the wreck.
Lunthawg takes Deron's hand and climbs back up. He looks over at Patch when he hears him speak and grimaces.
Ewww.
He says rather simply before poking at the body with one of the oars. He then sets the oar back in the boat, sitting down and seeming content to continue on.
After everyone settles back down in the boat, you start rowing out towards the wreck again. As you reach the wreck you can see how it is partially submerged with the main deck level being just a couple feet above the ocean and it seems firmly fixed upon the reef. Looking up at the side of the boat and railing you can see deep gouge marks, as though something with large claws had scaled the side and boarded the ship.
For those who board the wreck, you see a deck covered in the remains of shredded sails, busted barrels and crates and bloodstains scattered around. The doors to both the captains cabin and to below deck are hanging loosely on their hinges, from what you can see into the cabin, it appears to have been ransacked and you don't see anything in the other doorway other than stairs leading downward.
