[GDX] B09 - Fishing in Anthusis (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Giles Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Giles tries to poorly help settle the issue including a blatant open bribery suggestion.

"Well it's not like she would have won with it anyway and it and it brought us more delicious crab meat. How about a small gold stipend to have you drop the issue?"

Amelia places her rapier back in it's loop and moves to stand with her team.

Gnavy goes and tries to recover his arrows but finds them all broken. He looks for someone who knows how to cook some crab meat.

Letting others to answer

Tural explains to the judges that Demed's magic bait was not malicious in nature. The judges accept his explanation. However, they do disqualify most of Demed's catches.

"Thank you for speaking on my behalf. I won't use anything I don't understand in the future. I might have caused lasting harm to my new friends."

** It is Round Four! Please go ahead and make your checks. Remember, only one check per player. Try not to use the same skill as last time **

Examples:
Deception to distract other competitors
Performance to impress the crowd
Crafting to build elaborate traps
Survival/Fishing Lore for using bait/lures
Stealth to grab fish w/o disturbing water
Other skills possible as long as you can explain what you're doing

**Last Round Make it Good!**

survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Gnavy takes out some of the crab meat and tries to use it as a bait to catch other fish then before...

Tural aims three magic missiles out into the water designed to hit fish from underneath them and knock them into the air. Given time, he follows the volley up with a second round of three missiles in the same manner. "Aim underneath the fish and utilize the force of the missile to stun them and knock them up. One of the most significant features of such a spell is that it never misses...well, as long as you can see what you're aiming for that is!"

occultism: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Hot dice since we started fishing. Might have found Tural's hobby when he isn't reading books.

Giles and Ecthelion converse for a moment. Then Giles steps back and puts his hands out toward Ecthelion and says "Let's see if we can make you a little more streamlined for swimming." Ecthelion's tentacles grow a little longer and a little flatter and gills appear long his neck. This is using 1 focus point for evolution surge giving Ecthelion the ability to breathe underwater and a swim speed of 25ft for 1 minute.

Ecthelion slides off into the water completely silently and begins stalking some fish.

Ecthelion stealth check:
Stealth (T): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

nailed it

Buford tries to find something to bait his hook that'd attract the fishes, a piece of weed or something.

Herbalism Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Amelia attempts to use her familiarity of living at sea and casts out a line.

sailing lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 to spot where the most number of fish are and cast my fishing line in that spot to improve my odds of catching a fish.

great job folks,.we nailed that series I think

Buford tries to find something to bait his hook that'd attract the fishes, a piece of weed or something.

[dice=Herbalism Lore]1d20+4

Interestingly enough, there is someone here in the Philippines who uses moss as bait. He posted a video of himself on YouTube catching pretty impressive tilapia with moss (fish are huge -- maybe close to 1-2kg in size. So your Herbalism Lore roll isn't as far-fetched as you think!

Large Fish with Moss

He's speaking Filipino but I think the size of the fish he's bringing in speak for themselves. He caught the fish in Taiwan, but the bait is the strangest I've ever seen... :)

Tural sees where the fish are and sends multiple magic missiles at them, causing them to float to the surface. Gnavy baits his hook with crab meat and catches a fish. Buford tries a bit of seaweed and manages to fool a fish into biting it. Ecthelion silently slips into the water and manages to wrap his tentacles around several fish before they realize that he's there. Conall observes the fishes' location and throws his line into that spot. The tactic works and he catches a fish. Amelia tries using her knowledge of the sea but just misses, as the fish spit the hook while she's reeling in.

All in all, your team does a great job in the tournament. At the end of the day, the judges tally up the scores and decide unanimously that your team has won. They walk up to each member of the group and hand you a small pouch containing 4gp.

"It's very clear that your team has won the tournament! You all earn the title of Silver Sovereigns. We would like you to come back and defend your title next season!"

Deka and Demed are deeply grateful for and impressed by your actions during the event. "We are honored to have been beaten by competitors such as yourselves! You should come back next season and defend your title!"
