Maybe snake had a place that has loot? we can check maybe.
"Not sure how that thing would've carried any loot with it--having no arms and all--but if you want to poke around, feel free. We'll likely have a decent amount of free time while the ship's being refitted."
Not good at tracking stuff. Maybe follow the river upstream?
You go up stream a couple of miles and notice a couple of more nagas in the stream. These ones are mature, not the juvenile that visited you.
Manny sneaks back to Rickety's
Moving with Manny, Nuts looks at the nagas and his eyes go wide. When Manny turns around, he follows. "The one in the bay was that large too?"
Manny sneaks back to Rickety's
Manny does find two small diamonds fileting the creature in its gullet.
Vilka, the party needs some healing.
I got some diamonds! Let's stay here at Rickety's. Don't rile up what is out there.
So your sharing, good for you, most rogues might have not kept to the code.
Gather round for channels
Captain, we need to get some provisions whiles weze here. The ways I figger it. A months worth 'll cost us 'bout 420 GP
Nuts smirks. "Nice."
Uh, maybee we trade those diamonds for food?
Rickety looks at the diamonds and says he will have five months of provisions loaded into the hold.
Blimey, were saved, manny has vitals for Cookin.
"Well, you guys know where to find me. On the ship. Don't get into trouble. Or try to."
Nuts retreats back onto the ship, finding stuff to do.
Vikla starts wearing a banner reading "will channel positive energy for money".
Before the halfling has a chance to walk back to the ship, a handsome human with a large, axe-like polearm comes trotting towards the group. He stands a little over six feet tall with broad shoulders and an athletic build, and the blond hair and bright blue eyes of an Ulfen. He smiles at the motley crew assembled around Rickety and calls out, "Hey, you're the ones looking to take on new crew members, right?"
He has a charming smile, and there's a pleasant cadence to his speech as he continues, "My name's Lief. I grew up with ropes in my hands and the salt air in my hair, and I've spent the last five years working as a sailor. I can work riggings, man a helm, navigate, and I can be helpful to have around in a fight. You may very well have warriors more skilled in combat than I am, but I know how to inspire them to fight better, and I can do a little bit of healing afterwards. Do you think there might be a place in your crew for me?"
A sharp toothed goblin is working over a cookpot and wearing a chef hat and apron. If da captain says ya can, welcome to da crew.
Capricia listens to Lief's introduction and gives the young sailor the ol' once-over. "You look like you'd be an asset to our ship," she tells him. "We can use a few more capable hands--you're in! We're probably not leaving berth for several more days, though, so if you've got any loose ends to tie off while we're in port, do them sooner rather than later."
"Ahoy!" calls out a voice nearby. The source is a man in somewhat fancy pirate clothes, although they perhaps had seen better days, and a wide-brimmed hat to match. A well-used cutlass and boarding axe hang off his belt, his wide bow-legged stance an indicator of a life spent at sea. "Did me ears catch wind that ye be seekin' a sturdy crew? If it's a helmsman ye be needin', ye'll find none finer than meself in steerin' a course true."
"I be Callum Carnvegas," the man says as he doffs his hat with a bow, replacing and fixing it when he straightens, a smile on his face. "an me blood runs full of the sea. Me own grandpappy braved the Eye, an' I aim to match his legend!"
Capricia turns her attention toward the new voice.
Well...at least this one looks like he's pirate material....
After chatting briefly with the newcomer and deciding that Callum seemed legit, Capricia welcomes him to the crew and gives him the same info as she gave Lief.
“I wouldn’t be in too big a hurry to brave the Eye,” Lief answers the would-be helmsman solemnly, “I saw it tear a ship full of people who’d been sailing longer than you’ve been alive to pieces. I’m only alive today because my unconscious body was carried to shore tangled in the tattered ropes of a section of rigging and mast…”
The handsome man suddenly realizes what a downer he’s a being and flashes his charming smile at the captain and other female officers. “But I am alive, so I best get back to enjoying life. I don’t have anything here that needs finishing, except this waterskin full of mead. But, if you need help with anything before we leave, anything at all, just say the word.”
The halfling squints his eyes as he scans the scene unfolding in front of him. When both Lief and Callum are accepted into the ranks. "Well, damn! Our recruitment process is atrocious." he snickers, but waves at the new meat. "Certainly better than the previous one, though."
"I'm Aki. You can call me Nuts. I do..." and he stops himself before turning to Capricia. "Cap', what do I do on the ship, anyway?" he leans to the newcomers and whispers "New management. Roles are kinda all over the place right now. Give it time."
Looking back at Capricia, he points towards the ship. "I mean I can do carpentry. Should I, uh, go help with the makeover or something?"
Hi, I am Vikla, in charge of healing, mostly magical, I can also make your tools and weapons masterwork at cost. Praise Besmara. I can also distinguish different types of Vodka by taste while blindfolded!
Vikla, a dark haried and seemingly good natured (as long as no ghouls are anywhere within sight of her) Cleric announces.
Day Three
As work continues on the Man’s Promise
on another uncomfortably hot day, the PCs can see a cloud
of birds rise from the jungle beyond the construction and
fly over the dry dock. The workers there suddenly begin to
run for cover, some risking serious injury as they leap to
the ground below.
Everyone head for cover! Ricketey yells out to crew
and guests. Nuts, you are group zero of the attack so your options are to run or fight alone for now.
As soon as everyone makes it inside the Commons
or one of the other buildings, the wasps no longer pose
much of a threat and they eventually f ly off along the coast.
Until then, however, you and workers at Rickety’s are
in real danger, and you must face a group of five
giant wasps before they can safely get to cover.
Initially confused, Nuts looks around as the crew rund for cover. He puts down his jack-plane and stands up, wondering what is about to show up.
As overgrown insects appear in his sight, he stands his ground.
"Oh, what are you doing here? Too bad I don't have a fly swatter." He looks at his hands. "These will have to do."
He starts slapping the wasps from the air.
By Shamiras padded breasts what? Vikla runs towards the commotion.
Ok, if we are going to start fighting lets roll some inititatives please

“Looks like massages will have to wait,” Lief answers as he follows his new captain towards the giant wasps, stopping five feet behind her and Callum to begin telling an inspire tale.
Seeing the two closest menacing my fellow Mates and officers, I release a spell to take one out, they are too close to risk area spells.
Shiver me timbers if this don't beat all, by golly, giant flies with stingers, no wonder we don't come on dry land that often. Well, big flies need a big swatter!!

In the meantime just presume you are in melee combat with one of them and I will adjust. I have your AOOs from earlier.
