Coracle tethers himself to the foc's'le, where he can see the seas ahead. He calls out directions and warnings to the crew to help the ship find the safest route through the storm.

Gnimish, Coracle Jibbs, Jig and Chirrit all successfully enact emergency measures, each gaining a repair point!

Just adding this to the next page

Phase Two−Emergency Measures:

With the hull damage identified, you need to face the danger of the storm as they stabilize the outside of the ship prior to full repairs. You can attempt an Easy Crafting check to patch the most damaged areas, or an Average Nature or Survival check to chart a path that will protect the ship from further damage, of a skill check of your choice at a harder DC.

Schek assesses the stormy situation and quickly scribbles the path they will be taking. "We be going this way!" he instructs the captain of the ship.

"Safest way, ye see! Keeps the ship still whole!"

Ooh, nicely timed critical success!

Full Success!

The emergency measures allow time for 1 hour of repair work in the next phase.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Phase Three−Permanent Fixes:

The temporary stabilization provides enough support for you to create longer-term fixes, including using a fast-setting tar for additional waterproofing and reinforcing weak boards.

You can attempt Crafting checks at the Average DC, with each attempt taking 10 minutes. So... feel free to make up to 6 Crafting checks, or propose an appropriate lore for this task. Keri, here's your chance to shine!

Just checking to make sure I understand: does that mean we get 6 checks per PC, one for each 10 minutes?

And would Sailing Lore be an appropriate substitute skill? Coracle's no builder, but he has worked on ships his whole life (sailor background), which is a lot of hard labor.

Knowing the nooks and crannies of ships like the back of his calloused hands, Schek gets to work. He methodically waterproofs the wood and seals every crack.

@Coracle, yes, I would have accepted Sailing lore here.

Keri gets 4 repair points, and Schek 3, which is enough to get the ship fully repaired!

Full Success!

The repairs are fully effective, which removes the broken or destroyed condition from the Snapdragon and grants you all a +1 status bonus to skills checks for the rest of Act 3.

Another Whalerunner success!


I am the tool of the GM

For those of you with injuries, remember that there are ten minutes between each event in Act III, which means that you have had 20 minutes to do medicine checks or to refocus.

WHALERUNNER MISSION 2: PINCER ATTACK

Eando Kline pulls a splinter from his arm. He stares exhausted across the sea. “Can't say that's my favorite wake-up call,” he mutters. “Hand me the bandages.” Before he has a moment to accept them, the sound of the Snapdragon scraping against rocks makes him pause. “New task,” he says with barely a blink. “Figure out what that sound is.”

Terrible sounds come from the starboard side of the ship, like metal scraping the top layer of varnish off wood. The foul odor of decaying seaweed follows from the same side, then a sputtering roar.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Use the map on slide 21 for this encounter. This map presents a side view of the Snapdragon's starboard side. The rigging has an Easy Climb DC for the rigging, and the platforms that the rigging attaches to are 5 feet wide. The Climb DC for the ship's hull without the rigging is the Average DC.

Environment: The Eye continues to rage around the PCs as they fight through the storm. PCs take a –2 circumstance penalty on Acrobatics and Stealth checks during this encounter, as the decks are slick.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

As you peer over the side of the ship, you see a draconic creature clambering up its side, and several watery scamps leaping in the water.

Keri moves over to the rail, sees the creature and draws her bow.

"Don't even try to board us!" she warns before launching into a tale of valor one of her brothers relayed about Qxal the Thorned Monarch.

“Shove off,” Calisro shouts as she throws a stray shoe at Abendego’s Squall. It squarely hits a flipper while the orca dives underwater.

Table GMs, the Orca In Retreat condition is now in effect.

Chirrit shoots at the Blue water scamp as it leaps out of the water, and just barely misses! Kerri draws her bow and launches into a lingering Courageous Anthem!

The dragon pokes its head out of water and then spits a ball of chthonic mucus at the Pathfinders on the deck!

Jig, Gnimish, Coracle Jibs and Keri all need to give me a basic DC 19 reflex save!

Unholy Spirit Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 1) = 4
Rounds to Recharge: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Chthonic Mucus [two-actions):
(primal, unholy) The ocean drake spits a ball of chthonic mucus up to a range of 50 feet that explodes in a 10-foot burst. Creatures within the burst take 4d6 spirit damage (DC 19 basic Reflex save). On a failure, they take 1d6 persistent spirit damage and take a –5-foot status penalty to their Speed. This reduction ends with the persistent spirit damage. The drake can't use Chthonic Mucus for 1d6 rounds.

When the dragon sees how little damage his spit does, he audibly swishes saliva in his mouth, trying to work up a more potent batch for later. Then he pauses and calls out, "I can't believe that a fine buccaneer dragon like meself is losing me touch. 'Tis an embarrassment, it is! But don't you worry me laddies, I'll still give ye a bonny fight!"

As a catfolk, Coracle has Land on Your Feet, which halves damage from a fall, and he doesn't land prone. Basically, I'd like him to use the rigging to fall in a controlled way onto the platform, trusting to his catlike reflexes to get him where he wants to go with minimal risk to himself.

The winds shift first, followed by the sails filling with their full power. The Snapdragon lurches forward. Eando grins and says, “We’re making good speed. We’ll be at the isle in no time.”

With that Critical failure on a Strike against Chirrit, he would have used his Opportune Riposte Reaction on it.

Opp rip: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 + 1 = 9

Chirrit smirks as the dragon's bit misses him. Is that all you've got? the kobold asks as he strikes back...a question which is then answered when the dragon's tail smacks him solidly.

Shaking off the blow, Chirrit continues to stare at the dragon. You've got some aim then I see. But look about: there's six of us standing against you, more crew aboard coming over any minute, and your little imps are dropping like flies. So slink off, and you may live to tell tales of how you survived the Snapdragon!

Below is assuming the 'stand down' attempt is two actions, and that it's separate from Demoralize (and thus he isn't immune to Chirrit's attempt for the moment). If these assumptions are incorrect, let me know.
Intimidate to stand down: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Then to try and punctuate his point, he hurls out his hammer again at the scamp hassling Schek.

The dragon holds up its arms. "Alright, don't hurt me! Maybe I can give you some intel on the enemies out there that are not as sane as I am. Wanna hear about Enava and Sharkskin?" The dragon tells you, "Enava as a woman that looks like a human but smells like a demon, and Sharkskin as a person that looks like a demon but smells like a human."

He frowns. "Enava promised me that if I captured the captain of the Snapdragon, she would grant me an island lair filled with Ghol-Gani treasures! But as cool as a lair of my own would be, it's not worth dying over."

If you want to make a Society or some sort of Bardic Lore check here, feel free.

And while I am going to give you all a chance to make those Society checks and do some healing afterwards, I am going to fling you into the next mission as well.

WHALERUNNER MISSION 5: REFINING MEMORIES

In the captain's quarters, Calisro wrings water out of her hat. “We found these potions in that locked chest,” she says as she flops her hat back on her head. “I drank one and saw the Whippoorwill under attack from the beast that just hit us. There's a dozen more bottles. Take some time and see if there's more to learn.”

She goes on to tell you, "The potions discovered in the Whippoorwill's hold were potions of shared memories that captured the final moments of Captain Kimma Atyi, First Mate Averill Quint, and the rest of the crew." She smiles sadly. "I guess this is one way we can have a final drink with them, eh?" As Calisro hands the potions over, she mentions they're important last moments of the crew, so by rights they should go to the next of kin. However, given the emergency the Snapdragon is in, she'll make any needed apologies once they're back on land.


I am the tool of the GM

When you imbibe a potion of shared memories, you can attempt an Average Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check. For each potion you drink, you sort through the memories to discover one of these pivotal moments experienced by the crew (two on a critical success).
