"Blargh! Gahbone! Gahbone! Where you at?!"

"You could be right, Gahbone. When I shake me head these days.. sounds like more sauce than noodle."
Then suddenly, "Ah yes! The spiderlady with the big gnome dropped it... so mean-mugged I spied from the crack! Not seen, not heard as best I could."
He holds the black pearl in his stubby fingertips. His eyes look upon it then go vacant through his remembrance and continual snorts....
"Lady was busy with hums and sung nonsense - like the mage-ing words I once kept in me noodle for Master. Smashed most pearls to bits with her heel, but one rolled free... danced along seam... with gentle sway of me ship... until it rolled straight to the wee crack above me head. I went.. boop with me finger to the hatch, and the pearl slipped through."
"You use these to make magic things with your magic appleratus?"

I'll do morning tomorrow.

"Never a choice for one born to the sea, Gahbone." "Take from me, not ahways eathy.... " *snort* "But long as I keep me dangling tips free from the bilge pump, it's good day."

"Ah I make me remember...." He scrambles to his makeshift bilge deck throne, and retrieves a black pearl. "Saved from getting sucked up by pump. Thought black pearl, but mebbe fake... dyed me hand all up, and the deck too where me eyes did happen to spot it."
He shows his hand, and there is a fat-lined squashed "V" of black pigment on his palm. "And it's mine... Becuz I saved it."
bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Failed bluff- He is holding back something or lying about how it came into his possession.

oh oh

Garborn finds Piendy in the bilge. He has built himself a "nice" lounging chair out of broken crates and rags. The creak of the hatch, and gentle light wakes him.
"Hey Gahbone me best mate, how'dit goin? Me ship..." *snort* "finally movin again. Good good. Deez Mwangi sail pretty good."

Piendy blows a couple snotrockets off the bridge, then points to floating debris.
"Bony robed guys opened the door, then got smashed up from the water. I came in and closed it right away. I swear I closed it right, but it's not sealing."

Ideas, creative solutions, skill checks...

It is not. With a fair look at the repairs needed, you would assume it would take weeks of work to get it seaworthy, months maybe.

"I've been here since that saucy dish went through that door. If you're aftuh *snort* after her... she prob'ly still in there."
Piendy is referring to the carved stone door on the face of the cliff just east of the ship.

"Yes. Sleep easy mates."
You do not all sleep well in the ship. Though you are unharmed for the time needed to rest, the creaks of the settling ship prove to be unnerving to the light sleepers.

At the end of Truk's watch - as Garborn and Iolana are finishing their preparations, and the others are just rising, you all feel a stomach turning sensation.

"Oop.. magic ending... water come soon."

It has not been said/determined. Lemme know if you have anything you care to get done before resting, and a perception check for any on watch.

Piendy moves to hover in front of Garborn's face, and peers in his eyes.
"You need rest Gahbone. Should have time before water comes back if you wannu sleep on mah ship."
He smiles big. "Don't need to wuh-wee *snort* worry... I will keep peeled eyes."

"Was his woman who turned on us. Quiet one. Dithpelled *snort* dispelled my master and your underwater enchantments when we were leagues under. Turned my brain round... din't know what way wath up."
"Well I'd thay *snort* say he was right about weird power centered here."

"New surprise in my ship! Best mates! *snort* Good day!"

There is not much room, but two could fit in the hidden area to expedite rifling through the crates. There are several yet unopened.

Piendy wakes up, and hovers by Garborn..
"i think there's somethin we need to yell out so's we don't get hit by *snort* lightning"

A solid perfect circle of dark clouds is now above your heads.

Piendy stops and shrugs, then responds to Garborn...
"I don't know about clearly, but it makes sense enough."

He flaps over to the standing stones on the butte.
"Dunno *snort* howta do it, but this is the place. Imma take a snooze here till yer ready." He lies down in the shade of the standing stones.
"..an yer too heavy to car-wy *snort* carry so don't even ask."

Piendy eyes Truk. "You... are the enemy? The mutinous dogs? Its from you we are to protect the stones, but how can we when it's us Bwaahhhh! Confwicted towmented! *snort* trapped into thinking things harder than math... I tink I should go."
He starts to fly out to the water.

Piendy cringes when Gatherine fires the shot "Don't woory, he just pick you off when you're weak and bleedin."
"Don't think he can even see underwater... just smells blood."

You then hear thrashing in the water... further out to sea. It is difficult to see at first through the splashes of the conflict.
Then you see the second lizardfolk body get tugged under, and a shark turn belly up and bleeding in the water.

Piendy turns back after watching. "That ritual thing that makes the water go down. Our numba one *snort* number one job from the lady Ieana is to keep people from touchin it."

"Good to see you, Gar born. I found your robe on the beach and not you. I keep it in the ship."

The shark body then gets tugged underwater.

"Its under the water there." He points past the butte again.

about 20 feet south of the Z row

Piendy mimics Syndlara's arced eyebrow, and says after Truk's question,
"I now have a ship so that makes me captain. It... is just on the wong side of the water now." He points to the water just past the butte, and snorts as his nose runs... as it does by the end of each sentence.

"Not s'posed to use the doohickey thing, so we need to find some udder way."

The lizardfolk warrior tumbles down the falls... it floats on the slower current below, but is not immediately snatched like the other.

Piendy emerges from the far cave, and flies over.
"All done. Punished half to death twice." He looks over at the rest of the group, clears his sinuses with a snort, and waves.
"Hello me new mates. I Piendy am your captain now."

"Bosun! Flog the crap outta them!"
When he realizes no one is coming to flog them....
"Brrrawr... "

... he flies across the river, breathes a cone of greenish liquid onto the two in the river, and heads for the far cave.

The two lizardfolk in the river scream out in pain, and the water bubbles around them.. the current carries melted lizardskin froth over the falls.

C,16 reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
D,17 reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
acid cone: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Piendy's eyes go wide, and the corners of his mouth creep upward...

"MUTINY!!!"

He shakes with excitement over getting to use the word.

Piendy snorts his sinuses clear, then answers...
"Lady Ieana made me captain... but me mates don't listen to me oders. ...and they got scare-wy snarls.."

The river is shallow, but fast... DC20 Acro(balance) or Strength to move half speed without being pushed downriver. Fail = dragged downriver 5' feet in addition to intended movement. + another 5' per 5 you miss by.

Garborn hears a small nasally voice squawk of alarm behind him when Gatherine fires her shot.
"Gahbone what you doin here... I tot you were dead. It me Piendy I'm a captain now. Yuh new fwends are killin all me new mates."
