The next day, Capricia learns that the 'reward' for her strong showing of seamanship during the storm is...being made to swab the decks! She grumbles quite a bit under her breath but finds time to give Laroisael a big hug. "I'm so happy you were rescued yesterday! That must've been terrifying being swept overboard into such a stormy sea!"
Later in the day, Capricia whispers, "I'm going to try to speak with that Crimson Cogward fellow. He seems capable...and rather handsome...but he's about as friendly as a moray eel. Wish me luck!"
Daytime Action: INFLUENCE (Crimson Cogward)
Perhaps her good performance aboard the ship the past few days makes her overconfident, but her attempt to socialize with Crimson is about as successful as oil trying to mix with water. When she returns to the task of swabbing the decks, she's simmering with anger. "Saying he was as friendly as a moray eel was being disrespectful to the eels!"
When she's ordered to swab the decks for a second straight day, Capricia wonders if perhaps she's being punished for outshining some of the more senior crew during the rough storm. This day, she tries to get chummy with some lower-hanging fruit: the gnome, Giffer.
Come the third straight day of being assigned backbreaking work swabbing the decks, Capricia's 100% convinced this assignment is a punishment for performing better during the storm than most senior members of the crew. This feeling is magnified when she notices that Laroisael and Harak have also drawn this same assignment for three straight days as well.
Bastards are punishing poor Laroisael for being swept overboard! They had no right, expecting a swab to perfrom flawlessly in the rigging...during a storm, no less! Hmm...not even sure what Harak did to deserve this; I thought he'd been pretty quiet recently.
When she slips away this day, she tries one last time to make a friend out of Jack Scrimshaw. This day, the young seaman proves to be a lot nicer than before. He admits that he avoided being nice previously because he knew the new recruits had gotten on the wrong side of Master Scourge's minions (Aretta, Syl, Fipps, and Jape), and he didn't want to associate with the newbies and get a target painted on his back as well.
Capricia manages to influence Giffer Tibbs and Jack Scrimshaw to friendly. XP=40 for each of them for a total of 80 XP for the group
Crimson Cogward is unfriendly, so the DC to influence him is a total of DC 20
The first day, Laroisael does an unbelievably well job at swabbing the decks, so much so that she does her best to make a friend out of Crimson.
The second day, however, was rougher for her, so the second she was done and had food in her belly she plopped to her hammock.
The third day, as she wondered if she was better off at the bottom of the ocean, or food for sharks, she found she wasn’t as tired of scrubbing as yesterday, but she still retired early.

You do manage to change his influence to indifferent
Telling the tale in the evening of how I and Manny the cook braved the storm to save Laroisael from Davy Jones locker and lived to tell the tale. Jumping in the drink and not missing a beat to grab her, then I scaled the side of the ship dragging her back from the brink of death. So who wants to join me in a game of bones, I feel lucky.
NOTE: I told my story to Crimson Cogward, Shivikah, Tilly Bracket and Badger Medler

On the first day, luck is just not on Nuts' side. He slips off the ropes at one point and strains his ankle, making it difficult repairing the rigging.
At night, he would attempt to sneak to the deck again to take Kipper's sighting tools, and quietly store them in Fipps Chumlett's belongings.
The second day, the rigging work goes better. He gets into a casual conversation with Toppin working nearby, telling him about various ports he visited and the various dishes they made.
"I'm pretty sure they brought me boiled crab and a side dish of fly cake. Surprisingly tasty, given the ingredients. But it was still hard to stomach at first." he imitates retching and follows up with a snicker.
Again, Nuts performs his duties to the best of his abilities. He exchanges a word or two with Toppin again.
How much can you give me to give ta them? Me will keep you supplied with my special booze!
Wud be suspicious to take for more than one person, you chose.

Day 11
Approaching the Slithering Coast, the waters become shallow and navigation is tricky. As the afternoon wears on, Mr. Plugg calls you together on
the main deck. At his feet lie four crab pots. Plugg informs you that the captain wants fresh crab for supper. Plugg points to a reef lying some 200 feet north of the ship and instructs you and Tam Narwhal Tate to swim to the reef, fill the pots with crabs, and swim back. Plugg brooks no further discussion.
The waters are calm (DC 10 Swim checks) and clear (visibility 100 feet). The initial swim across the open water passes without event, and the PCs soon approach a superb coral reef, measuring approximately 100 yards square, lying between 5 and 30 feet below the surface.
Many crabs inhabit the reef, and each round, each PC can make a DC
10 Perception or Survival check to spot a crab, followed by a DC 10 Swim check to swim down and catch that crab. Four crabs are required to fill a pot.

Laroisael looks very hesitant about this assignment. Sure the water looks calm…but she knows she’s not a good swimmer. She says a silent prayer to Abadar to watch over her today.
The crab grabs Manny by the nose.
Everyone first make a DC10 swim check to make it out to the reef.
Then perception Perception or Survival check to spot a crab, followed by a DC 10 Swim check to swim down and catch that crab. Four crabs are required to fill a pot and there are four pots.

Diving off the ship, she takes a small net or basket to carry the crabs, clams, sponges and oysters from the reef. I will probably be hunting for a few hours. I have my wet suit , my wrist sheath with dagger stuffed under my sleeve with my weapon cord attached so as not to loose it and am prepared to stay in the water.
Why don't we get boat to swim out?

Well, you are not drowning so keep trying until you make it.
Taking the whip as a sign, Laroisael dives…
…and is surprised that she’s already doing better at swimming than she thought. Though maybe her activating her lucky magic might’ve helped.
Well…she can see the crabs. That’s at least the good part.
Manny manages to Goblin paddle out there.
Before going off on the crab hunt, Capricia tries to slip down to the bilges to retrieve the two daggers she bought from Cut-Throat Grok, tucking one into each boot. She grabs one of the crab baskets as well. In the water, she struggles to swim a bit while also carrying a crab basket, but eventually she reaches the reef and spies a bunch of crabs.
"Anyone need a dagger?" she asks the others before her first dive.
Nuts sighs at Scourge's motivational speech and jumps into the water. Finally off the boat, Aki takes his time swimming to the reef. He does some rudimentary cleanup while he is in the water - face, pits, bits.
Once out of earshot, he starts talking. "I swear, I will snap one day and break some faces. They treat the crew like dogs. Damn savages." he complains about the officers as he looks into the water. Capricia offers a dagger, and Aki declines. "Thank you. Just fists, knees and elbows for me. Sometimes teeth, if I am really pissed. How did you get those, anyway? You sneakthief, you!" he smiles in return.
"HA! There's one!" the halfling shouts and dives to catch a few crustaceans.
When he breaks the surface again, he points below. "There's some carcass below. Crabs are cleaning it."
Manny manages to get three nippers into the pot before floundering
Continuing harvesting the reef, spotting and catching any crabs, lobster, clams and oysters off the bottom or in and around it. Also searching for pearls and sponges to trade.
Also hearing someone on the surface about a body, will check where he is pointing.
Squid is also useful for ink, may find a giant seahorse or manta ray down here to ride.
Apparently I need 3 swim checks; Somethings up.

We have 3 large crabs that just took a swipe at me, help!!
pull my dagger and cast mage armor.
Nuts' face suddenly turns into one of surprise. "Uh, guys, something just tried to snap at my leg. Keep your guard up."
He dives into the water and sees a creature attempting to do some nibbling on his left shin. In halfling society, this is considered a faux pas. He returns the favour with two fists into the face area.
Ps I would move 5 ft away before casting
