Sandara gently lays Kree down on the deck in an empty room and begins her ministrations, the salt hurts as it is rubbed into the wounds. Sandara actually makes the wounds worse... At least in appearance, in truth she is treating them even as the salt stings... Taking ten (this consumes your nightime action due to time) for 16, Sandara puts her unfortunate patient into her hammock.
Sandara brings you (Kree) into a quiet corner of the ship and speaks, "Kree I can't provide magical healing, I'd be flogged myself and you would be as well... Too noticeable considering your injuries, I can provide healing via poultices and salt but it will hurt..."
The sun sets and the drinking begins, even the "miscreant" in the stocks is freed although anyone can tell that she is bruised and bleeding... perception check dc 20, Kree: You spot Sanara motioning you down below decks...
Kree despite her pain sees Sandara briefly, her face is helpless looking as she sees you in the "sweatbox"...
"Indeed we's been looking for a way out from under Mr. Pluggs bootheel, if you can whip the owlbear perhaps you can whip that fat bastard too?"
Eeks forgot! Yes the PCs do gain the XP from the conversion of the NPCs, however retrieving weapons does not grant XP. Neither does Kree's "visitation" cause a loss of XP...
Drahzar is led to a strange woman, her skin brown and her feet bare. From what Rosie tells you she's a fisherwoman from one of the villages near Stormreach... You quickly strike up a conversation with her...
Kree:
Drahzar locates Rosie who promptly proceeds to serenade him with naughty songs and tavern tunes...
As you all look on you see Kree's bludgeoned body emerge from below deck as she is placed into the ship's "sweatbox", an onerous place that from you hear causes great pain... She is breathing...barely.
Kree: The door opens sending the tray scattering and you realize just before the lights dim that this was not a good idea... You wake up in the ship's "sweatbox", all you remember is the thunderous strike of a fist smashing into your skull... By the time you have woken up it is dark and all you can see and hear is the darkness and the waves... attack, damage
The cabin girl disappears like lightning...if lightning were silent. Kree: You hear both Pluggs and Scourge badmouthing you and the other conscripts, then you hear Harrigan say "where's lunch, bloody cabin girl should be here right now..." You then hear footfalls approaching the door...
The cabin girl looks at you carefully and eyes you and then figures you can't be lying... No one would want to visit captain Harrigan willingly... sense motive
You make it to the captain's quarters or more accurately the door and small chamber before it and you see a small, pubescent (think 14 years old) girl holding a tray of delectables... Upon seeing you she gazes at you with wide eyes and she seems prepared to bolt for "help"...
Alright, i'm seeing a problem here... These days till doomsdays are dragging us down... I think jobs shall be handled from now on in the background, basically from now on your socializing and swaying others to your side... Yes or Nay?
Thankfully armor isn't really a requirement of pirate life... Knights and pirates don't mix... @ Drahzar yes, Rosie.
Would you all like to proceed to the next day (for the sake of it hiding things will be handled for you but carrying around your gear in open daylight may not be advisable)?
Note on World of Aden firearms... (Thank you Oceanshieldwolf) they are now available in major ports such as Stormreach with the following changes... "Firearms" are Cannith's latest and greatest invention in the world of weapon crafting, instead of firing bullets they drain energy from a shard of crystal to make their attack (which is then ejected onto the ground like a bullet casing, think a bolt action rifle). As such firearms deal the following types of damage according to the ammo used. Fire crystal (2 gp per crystal)
Calloran successfully opens up the locker... You find your equipment and some other odds and ends... You find, a masterwork fiddle, a starknife, 3 flasks of acid,
Calloran make a disable device check (dc 20) to open the locker...
Kree's ministrations do little to assist Ire... Kree: You find nothing out of place with the wooden locker...
Call and Drahzar: Neither of you spot anything suspicious on the wooden locker.
Torviir opens up the chest... attack damage And is promptly struck in the shoulder by an arrow... Fortunately for her while painful the damage is not severe. The chest contains the following Contains 3 unidentified potions a masterwork climber’s kit, a
Calloran opens up the first wooden locker and sees an assortment of goods, none of them the party's equipment...
As Barnacle moves to the lockers he find that they are locked...
Kree:
You see nothing out of the ordinary and your disturbed by your inability to think of some place to hide gear... Barnacle: You see nothing out of the ordinary but you think of a brilliant place to hide things, you could potentially hide everything you need to in the the hay of the pig and chicken pens which no one bothers to clean...
Torviir:
Your knowledge or more accurately lack of knowledge concerning ships make you think the best place to hide things might be to shove them down Kroop's stomach... Calloran: Your knowledge of engineering tells you that the best place to hide things would either be in the deep waters that gather at the corners of the bilges (with cloth wrapping etc) or in the recesses of the ship's bulkheads (once again with cloth wrapping).
As you all enter the room you see two massive barrels which judging from the smell contain vast quantities of rum. As you examine the place you see two wooden lockers, 2 wooden chests, 1 metal trunk and 1 massive steel chest... Drahzar:
You spot nothing out of the ordinary. Calloran: You spot nothing out of the ordinary.
You all make your way to the store, Ire found Grok drunk in her bed... The door isn't locked.
cure light wounds The Priestess smiles as Torviir as she places her hands upon the red back of the Drow sorceress...
It is Torviir (did you see the tab for you in gameplay?).
Are you going to seize thou gear or not?
You find badger down in the bunks, snoozing in a hammock...
There are places to hide your gear, you just have to be inventive... Or ask your newly acquired "friends" for some insight...
The ship isn't routinely searched and your mutiny is handled in the AP itself, you've got a while to go (although I may speed up that time if you make it to level 2 before the "appointment").
Waiting on the players to advance.
The crewmates are uninterested in Drahzar, rather they have taken up the vice of pirates everywhere... The rum ration. Torviir: As you prepare to go to bed the Priestess of Besmara sneaks downs and speaks, "couldn't risk Scourge seeing me but I can tend to your wounds..."
That night a great show was made of Torviir's public flogging, Scourge was particularly happy... damage
The roar of displeasure as the mangled feast is consumed by the Captain and his officers is deafening... The cook's mate is dragged to the deck alongside the drunken Kroop... Scourge speaks, his voice both gleeful and hateful. "Who served this damn slop?"
Kree:
Kree sneaks down into the middle deck briefly and notices something... The door to the quartermaster's store is wide open and Grok is stumbling about drunk as a dwarf at a festival... Kree, sense motive dc 10:
The quartermaster is drunk beyond description, it's likely she doesn't even see you in her drunken haze... She is so drunk in fact that by your estimation she should be snoozing by the evening... random roll
is he sober? Kroop snores contentedly as his chickens seem to be deciding whether or not to establish nests on top of him...
Shall I move us to the next day?
