Upon seeing the lobster creature in its frenzy, Gerrick wastes no time taking the front line approach, striking out at the menacing monstrosity. OOC + Dice stuff: Will attempt to move into such a position to give Hern his flanking, mostly by being in the most direct path of the creature. Initiative:
Drawing his greatsword, Gerrick keeps wary as he keeps close to the group as they approach the great ruined boat. "Well then... I dare say we should evict this intruder before we begin our salvage operation. I would prefer we go about our business in peace without any hostile creatures seeking to interfere."
To the ship!
"Very well then. I am Gerrick Caramadge, explorer, hunter, scout and guide. I've made a serious study of wilderness and jungles and how to get by in unusual regions away from the comforts of civilization. Something I think may be beneficial to all of us as we get through this exciting ordeal."
It's true, the party does not have to be split. No reason everyone can't go visit the ship as a group, then do some recon on the way back before nightfall. That way in case of badness happening we are at complete butt-kicking capacity.
"Very well then... I shall venture forth in an attempt to scout around for anything we can gather for food supplies, or if there's angry cannibals looking to make food supplies out of us. Anyone who wishes to join, is free to do so. I say that should one of us not make it back by nightfall, it would be a clear sign of danger lurking about, correct?"
"I don't have any better ideas, so I like yours. I say we investigate this closely. What I don't understand is why would someone go through the trouble of dragging us all ashore... and then leave us for the lobscorpions? This is all very strange."
Returning back to the group after some quick checking of the particular layout of the land, Gerrick returns to the makeshift camp to share the findings. "Good news, everyone! I'm pretty sure I know where we are! We're on an island just north of Eleder, called the Smuggler's Shiv. Nobody's settled here, so we may be on our own for finding our way to our actual destination. Now.... aside from scorpion lobster creatures... I do know that evidently the shores of this island are all haunted. Dead sailors and all the usual rumours. As well... we should be on the lookout for cannibals. I don't think they're going to be in a position to offer us much aid. ANYWAY... I do know that somewhere on a southwestern beach should be a lighthouse. I read about it one time. Not sure if it'll be of use to us, but hey... it's good to know. Personally, I feel a lot better knowing where we are, and that we're not as doomed as it would have originally seemed."
"Hmmmmmmmm.... I'll take a quick look around here, we could not have been out for long. If there's any interesting landmarks, I should be able to tell where we are." Knowledge: Geography
Gerrick continues to hold his weapon, breathing heavy at the shock of suddenly being here... "Wha... now how did THAT happen? This isn't at all how things were supposed to go."
No problem at being a puppet when its needed. My mind was blown today when I got back from work an hour ago and saw "28 new posts" when I had only just posted what was 9 hours prior.
Shaking off the sand and nausea, Gerrick looks around frantically before making a dive for his weapon... latching onto his greatsword until his fingers turn white, he holds... uncertain and wary of any who come near.
"A creature of pure animal instincts? That would be a sight, for certain."
"Why yes, good sir," replying to Gelik. "I am most excellent and things seem to be brighter each passing day. What brings you on such an amazing voyage then? Seeking out more villages to save from such incredible beasts?"
On deck, Gerrick tips his hat to those he passes and leans against the rail, taking the time to listen to Gelik and the crewmen speaking of such distant and exotic things. The stories helping to alleviate the length of journey.
Yeah, I had the day off from work and the right opportunity seemed to come along. Normally my posts are EST either early morning or evening only... but in this case I had nothing but time to latch onto your recruitment and flesh out a character from scratch. Glad to know others are pretty excited as well though. Looks like a good cast.
One gnomish explorer, right here. Hopefully the math adds up properly. I'll be honest that I had no quite expected things to gather together and launch off quite so quickly! |
