You told me it was on the western half of the beach, the jungle to the south, leaving the ocean to the north.
To be clear, you are on the southern edge of a u-shaped cove that has walls to the east and west. The jungle is south of you. The ocean is north of you. The ship is also north of you, along the western edge of the cove, but there is more ocean out past where the ship is.
"Did you say Smuggler's Shiv," says Ishirou. He appears thoughtful.
"Sounds like a horrible place," says Sasha, but she is smiling, as if thinking of something pleasant, belying her words.
"Indeed I did, thats what the voices in my head told me... though they seem to be giving me conflicting information about the specific geography of this place."
I relay the information about the island I had told Klania to the two of them.
The lighthouse is to the southwest. The ship is to the west. Go to the ship and logic says we will be closer to the lighthouse than we are now. Unless of course we overshoot, but that wont be an issue because a lighthouse would be on the coast. Find the western coastline and you find the lighthouse. Trust me, I am a ranger. I reached the rank of life in Elf-Scouts.
"I wonder where all the crew of the ship are? And our good captain, not to mention the first mate, and the bookish Ieana."
Let me re-consul the voices in my head about the geography of this place.
Let me re-consul the voices in my head about the geography of this place.
Can I draw a copy of the map in the sand and show the others?
You could try...
You could try...
What do I do to roll that?
"Do any of you know who drugged our food," My gnome says bluntly, "It might help us find out what happened."
Also i want to try to do my best as a healer to find ways to make Gelik more comfortable.
if medic won't work heal will be
"This is symptoms of poisoning and from my understanding the symptoms are of poison that people will apply to food and which apparently was is supper...last night? a week ago? I have no idea how long we were out."
Gelik brushes away Malchi's help.
"I'm alright," he says, "If you can't get up on your own, other's shipwrecked with you will never take you seriously, and they'd be quite right not to."
As the minutes pass, it is clear that everyone is starting to feel better.
Caasi draws a hooked tear-shape in the sand, crudely, and points to a spot near the top narrow part indicating where he thinks you have been beached on the island he thinks you are on.
It doesn't help a whole lot, but perhaps he can get some better map making tools somewhere.
"It doesn't help us a whole lot," says Aerys, unhappily "what we need is a way off, if indeed we are on an island, which I suppose could indeed be the case. Do any of you have anything to drink?"
I call water spirits to fill some mugs with water. (Create water). If you are wandering i do have mugs.
"That does not answer the question. Do anyone know who poisoned us." I look expectantly to PC and NPC alike.
"Not a clue," says Sasha, she scans the treeline with interest. Ishirou shakes his head.
Aerys looks at the mugs. "Unbelievable," she says with exasperation.
Gelik takes one of the mugs and quaffs down the water. "Good show, lad," he says, "just the thing."
The manacled Garundi man speaks up for the first time, "I would not mind a drink," he says, "If you could spare one. I don't suppose any of you have a key for these things?"
"No not a Key persay, But Perhaps, good Klania may Be able to contrive something for you in that department. What were you in the locks for anyway?"
I of course give him water. "I am also interested in why you are in manacles. What do you think happened to the ship."
Looking at Aerys I say symathetically, "Sorry, ma'am but I didn't bring anything strong. I wasn't really thinking this would happen so only my spells do i have."
The man has no way to hold the mug himself, as his hands are manacled behind his back.
"My name is Jask, Jask Derindi, and I was being taken to Sargava for a trial... for something I didn't do. I have been working in Corentyn these last few years as a scribe. I don't suppose that any of you are from Corentyn?"
"As for how we got here, I can't help you... The last thing I remember is the Captain feeding me dinner last night, if it was last night. I suppose it must have been... Oil of Taggit generally only lasts for a few hours. Anything stronger than that and we would be sicker."
"ah fine" first survival for last time :)
unless this counts as in the natural wild then +4
then his manacles
oh and not that it probably matters but i forgot my plus from Masterwork Tools
How does he know it was oil of taggit?
Klania also realizes that opening the manacles is beyond her meager skill. She will need the key
Klania is unable to open the locks on the manacles.
How does he know it was oil of taggit?
"some one pulled us out of the water and probably then left, they left tracks"
"some one pulled us out of the water and probably then left, they left tracks"
the total on the disable device should actually be 29. hero lab messed up on that :)
"the person that pulled us out left back into the water"
"Caasi, i also knew it was Taggit. The symptoms are unmistakable. I suppose it could have been something else but by all likelyhood it is Taggit."
How does he know it was oil of taggit?
Yes
I also pour the water into his mouth for him.
I examine the manacles, what are they made of?
Jask speaks up, "I have some experience in medical matters, and I have seen the effects of Taggit before. This is the first time though that I have experienced it firsthand. And for so many of us, there must have been a lare quantity used. I wonder if the crew was likewise effected." He accepts the drink from Malchi.
His manacles are of good steel.
"The Captain had a key," says Jask, "Perhaps his body is still on the ship."
"Hmm, Does any one have a chisel?"
"Fresh out of chisels," says Gelik.
If that ship is the Jenivere, it will likely have keys, or at least tools we can use to get those shackles off. We should move now.
"Agreed."
"That is a good plan, If however, there are no tools, I have another plan, not a comfortable one, but a plan."
"I'm fine with going, are we going to check the ship first?"
Let us go to the ship then...Hopefully we won't fight anymore of those crab things and it will be uneventful...
"Well," says Jask, "I don't think I can make that trek, so if its all the same to you, I'm going to wait right here."
"Someone should guard this site," says Sasha, "I can do that."
Ishirou merely grunts and shakes his head resignedly. "There's nothing on the ship to interest me, no doubt its broken and the crew is dead."
"Bunch of quitters," says Aerys, "But really, do we need to go to the ship? My head is killing me. I need a drink."
"No doubt you need a drink, madam," says Gerlik, "There is little else you do but drink and snore."
"Watch it runt," says Aerys heatedly.
After a little more bickering, it is clear that the Gerlik will also stay on the beach, off the rocks, which he fears will tear his clothes, and that Aerys could be persuaded to go, but doesn't really want to.
"When you get to the ship," says Jask, "There were a few of my personal effects in the Captain's quarters. If you fetch them for me, it would be good of you. Some Armor, a small dagger, a symbol of Nethys, and a pouch. I do believe the captain also had some maps."
Walking along the jagged rocks is not a pleasant task, but as you move northward you realize that when the tide rises, this area will be quite dangerous, due to the pull and tug of the waves atop the rocks.
As you approach the ship, you see firstly that it is the Jenivere, but her prow has been completely smashed.
it appears i am on first. My familiar is on me at all times except in combat with weak creatures as earlier. Since he is i get my +2
Hopefully someone with the skill will beat me.
I rolled well however...
Knowledge religion for Nethys, or do I automatically know who that is? I was raised in a church after all.
Nethys is God of magic
