Sounds like fun, but I'll be Tier 1 GMing for Paizo in the Sagamore.

No worries VoV. Sounds like we'll be kicking back in right around Gen Con. Take care till we're back at it!
Like James, Bek leaves the bones for the others, but he does take the offered share of silver.
No worries. Keep it paused and good luck on the rig VoV!
Hope it works out great all around VoV, but if you wind up getting forced to take a break, we definitely understand!
Hope things work out VoV. Good luck!
As Tipene picks up the scepter, Bek reaches in to begin pulling aside the shroud. "May as well see what else is hidden in here."
"Not a bad thought. But if that doesn't work, I'll try using one of these axes." Bek picks up one of the axes to give it a go if none of the spellcasters has a useful spell.
Bek steps forward. "Do we know who is inside?" Barely waiting for an answer, he picks up a crowbar and begins his eerie song, thrusting it under the edge of lid and prying it upward.
Oblivious to the nature of the poor sleep for the others, Bek gets dressed and heads for the main deck with few comments.
"Would rather be done with it, but maybe she's got a good reason to wait until morning. Either that or just a love of drama. Surprised we're not opening it at midnight."
After making sure the lobsterman will not face further harassment on the way to the surface, Bek kicks his way over to the jolly boat and climbs on board. "Interesting cargo. Can't wait to hear what's inside."
That's great! Have a wonderful time. We made it to the one near San Diego a few years ago. Had a great time!
DM VoV: Bek decides that he's seen enough for now and that the mystery will undoubtedly soon be revealed. He swims up to catch up with the lobsterman and surfaces at the same time, shifting back into his normal form and climbing up onto the ship.
DM VoV: Now I'm really curious. Bek swims closer to the strange coffin or whatever it is to see if there are any visible markings.
Oh what the hell. I'm curious what they're bringing up at least. Bek kicks his way back down to see if he can get a closer look at the load and if the sediment around the ship settles at all by the time he gets there.
Bek doesn't pursue the fleeing sea devils, but looks to see if the wreck is nearby before surfacing. Once done looking he ascends with the lobsterman to make sure he is safe.
Bek tries to stick his foe with his ranseur once again. This time, his strike seems more true.
Bek kicks hard and propels himself through the water, leading with his ranseur. He angles himself to crash into the sea devils by the lobsterman, bearing to the left of Tipene.
Happy holidays everyone! See you all next year!
Bek will start swimming toward the sea devils, drawing his ranseur as he draws close.
"Captain, I'm a pretty good swimmer. Want me to dive in after Quillin's lobster and see what's going on?"
Bek gets ready to jump if he spots any blood in the water or more frantic pulling from below.
"Maybe he pulls on a rope and they pull him up? I'd rather swim without a suit too."
"Aye. Might be time for a swim for something other than washing off guano soon."
Sorry, I've been sick and slammed myself. Catching up now that its the weekend. +1 level skald (Bekyar Demon Dancer)
"Then we play it straight with her? Fine with me."
"'Fraid hurting has always been more my thing than healing. Let's get back. Did we make any deal with the captain about loot other than her wreck?"
"I suppose the storm would wash the s*## off. Maybe once we get the gems, we let the skies bathe us."
Seeing the guano flying around and the bear on its last legs, Bek decides to forgo a bite and tries to cut into it again with his cutlass while continuing his song.
Bek continues his eerie song and then forges his way through the nasty muck to try to land a blow of his own.
As soon as the fight erupts, Bek begins his song. A disturbing chant that seems to twist its tendrils into your mind and soul, but also fills you with unnatural strength.
Inspired Rage (Su): At 1st level, affected allies gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +1 morale bonus on Will saving throws, but also take a –1 penalty to AC. While under the effects of inspired rage, allies other than the skald cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration. At 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the song's bonuses on Will saves increase by 1; the penalty to AC doesn't change. At 8th and 16th levels, the song's bonuses to Strength and Constitution increase by 2. (Unlike with the barbarian's rage ability, those affected are not fatigued after the song ends.)
The much less quiet Bek will go try to hide on the other side.
"Sounds like its spoiling for a fight." A low hiss escapes from Bek's mouth as he bends over, shaking for a moment. When he straightens again his face his shifted into a slightly triangular shape and sharp teeth glisten in his mouth. With an icy rasp, he asks "Shall we ambush it?"
"Little bird is enough for me." Bek also backs away through the filth.
Bek looks somewhat apprehensive about continuing. "Disgusting. But, we've come this far. Shall we at least have a closer look or is it time to head back before we catch some awful disease?"
"Just a bunch of bats I think. If we move quietly, its probably nothing to worry about."
"Yeah, let's keep going. If it turns into a maze of tunnels down here though, I'm for turning back."
"Right behind Tipene. I can see a little further than most in the dark." Before proceeding, Bek has a look at the ground for tracks.
"Don't care to see if there are more easy to recover gems in the cave? We're here for treasure aren't we? If none of the rest of you want to have a look, we can return to the ship."
Bek allows Iscarel to scout forward and follows as soon as the elf gives the signal.
Realizing that Quillin only cares about staying hidden himself, Bek grins and moves up right behind James and Tipene.
Knowing he isn't the best at keeping quiet, Bek merely nods and stays back waiting to see if Quillin gives a signal to come forwward.
Hey hey! Sounds good!
"Maybe its a tropical bear. Aren't there sun bears in addition to the black and brown kinds?"
"Bears Tipene?" Not having ever run into a bear, Bek leans over to have a look at the tracks before everyone heads for the smoke. "So that is what bear tracks look like. I'm game for finding the source of the smoke. Let's go."
Have a wonderful trip VoV! We'll see you on the other side.
