Vantas Willhelm's page

You should have taken a 10 lol

Vantas is disappointed at Siddoks distracted state, wondering how he could have known more about the area than the Kobold. Then again Siddok always seemed distracted. Thrace's brooding was a point as well, but as long a her blades stayed sharp he didnt quite care. She'll warm up to someone eventually and that harmony would make her easier to direct or at least control trough this time.

" I really do not wish for all the resources to be taken up this early, panic has to be reduced as much as possible; Then information gathering. I need my wand back as well in case a large group of creatures deem themselves brave enough to attack the camp. So much to do so little time. I have to improve everyone's teamwork skills so that we survive at least. "

S'alright

Vantas notes Somia's attempt to assist; however noble was more a distraction. A much needed Distraction. The storm had ruined his plans and it became increasingly harder to mask his aggravation. Somia's presence allowed him to vent a bit without coming off harsh. The responsibility he held was high and the dangers of this island counted untold hundreds.

Vantas then decides to move the group inward again, with enough time to scour the jungle somewhat for vegetation or animals that are safe to eat and then return home.

Just movin this along a bit, seemed like we were at a sandstill for the moment.

Survival for Food: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Vantas sighs but must agree the storm would be a big threat and he would need to ensure that those at base were fine as well. Shouldering his Spear he looks to the group.

" As much as it pains me, that storm could spell trouble in many a way. We'll head back and wait it out, lets try and catch a few things along the way "`

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Whelp, that went better than I expected

Vantas takes his robe back, tosses the Longspear into the air to give him space. Drapes himself in his robe simultaneously sticking both arms into the sleeves pulling the strap. Then, nonchalantly catching the spear on the way down and resting it upon his right shoulder as they walk " Let's..

Engage in JOLLY COOPERATION

He notices Siddok is especially pleased with his work and that Somia appeared in his robe. The pride and enjoyment he felt simply from that knew no measure. Vantas walks up to Somia, his look that of a man on a mission. He curtly lifts her hand to his lips with a kiss, his eyes never losing contact with Somia's. it end with a smile as he speaks, " Good morning dearest Lady Somia, did you sleep well? I'm hoping my robe kept you comfortable.. and warm the entire time.. you have permission to use it if need be again.. but only if you take the extra prize attached to it " in a half-joking manner.

" Today we will be a little rougher as we explore, but do not worry I think I have taken precaution today for any incidents. Tell me when you are ready to leave, we have alot ahead of us today, but you'll be glad to know whatever we catch, if it is not to you liking.. my 'seed' is always available. " motioning to his pouch and chuckling. " Siddok you and Thrace get ready as well..we are moving out. "

Everyone else ready to move on with exploration today.. we are going east though the forest and then back along the coast.. I wanted a majority check so that the GM knows whether to go or not.

They both sit there close to each other, Vantas keeping vigilant while engaging in talk with Somia. When Sasha comes to eventually relieve him of his watch he stands and places his hand out to Somia "Come with me, I hope I am suitable for tonight.." and leads her back to the longhouse.

If she accepts he places her upon her sleeping cot/bed and gingerly joins in covering them both in his comfortable wizards robe and wrapping his arms around her until they both fell asleep. " Sweet Dreams "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vantas arises rested, though he also had quite the.. odd dream. The sight of the passengers and Somia in general. He left his robe upon Somia to keep warm, when he awoke to take account of the current stores and upkeep of the campsite. He pulled on the last binding of the makeshift spear for Siddok with his teeth smiling.

" Here, its nice and sturdy Siddok. I had to sacrifice one of my daggers to ensure it was of usable quality, It should give you a modicum of safety with its reach. Keep it ready to ward off animals and use it to keep yourself distanced while threatening. " passing the now Cold Iron Longspear for his size.

Once the camp was alive once more, Vantas laid out the plan for this day. He looked much different without the robe his vest-like armor and array of different blades and weapons giving more the impression of a soldier.

" Alright, we've accomplished quite alot these past two days. I want to congratulate you all on the fine effort you've placed here. No amount of effort will be overlooked. Aerys and Ishirou especially for keeping good watch of the camp while the exploration group seeks out our salvation. We have found out our area, the creatures around here and a bit of the island; We have made a base of operations. Now what we must focus on now is our survival once more. There is 18 rations left, enough for about 2 days. "

Paces around a bit to let that sink in before continuing.

" I have the ability to supplement SOME of our wares but at most it would extend our rations by about 2 more days. As such I will stress that today we find food, make nets and fishing rod at camp and those not guarding it should try their hand at fishing. The exploration team will be heading the opposite direction today, heading east into the forest and then circling around from the shore to camp. We will also commit a few hours to gathering food as well as our normal job. "

Giving another short reprieve for the rest to absorb the information.

" I must stress one thing however.. DO NOT.. go into or near the trees at night.. ever. There are too many poisonous animals around and something in particular I have been wary about. I'd rather no unnecessary casualties. Now that you have heard the objective for today, are there any questions? If no, then let us start.. Light is precious, time is against us.. and I am famished already. "

Vantas gets himself ready, checks all of his equipment and then motions to the party when they are also ready. His Longspear gripped tight. The Ioun Stone floating above his head though it bright already outside.

Can take about 2 hours and Siddok taking a 10 with me assisting for an 18 which with survival get food for him and 4 more people. This doesnt have to be at the start but it can be while we are in the forest in the morning

And then Siddok Died...

Vantas at least slows his rapidly beating heart to be tolerable to Somia " A bad dream? It is known to be a cursed island. I think, however, we can handle a dream or two,. " holding Somia close though his eyes never quite leave the darkness along the treelines.

Vantas noted the sudden change, clearly he was hallucinating from the adrenaline rush, for Somia released a sound not unlike the snake they slayed earlier that day and had a tongue to match. The odd thing being that, even with that illusion, the threatening sound and facade intrigued him rather than put him off. There was a certain beauty that Somia exuded that made the display elegant somehow.

He chuckles, nervous yet hardened at his position. it was only them this night as most were asleep. " How exotic Lady Somia. I think I might have been the first to see that, not that I mind. Your beauty dimmed no more in my eyes. Maybe Im tired and am seeing things? I didnt expect to see you out here so late. " He places his arm around Somia, this time much more gentle

" I think, 'wrestling' would be asking to much.. But.. would it be fine if.. tonight we simply .. kept each other warm? To.. prevent sickness of course. I think.. that alone would be bliss" His touch tender, but clearly hesitant.

Yes he means cuddling, not sex.. I know.. its d'aaaaw worthy

Vantas had been edgy during the watch, paying particular attention to the treelines. He worked intently on the spear but had a plethora of plans and worries running through his mind.

CMB vs FF: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

When he heard someone approaching, the sudden realization made his body react without thought. He grabbed, flipped the person over his shoulder upon his legs, spinning the makeshift spear in one hand and pointing it at their throat, holding the back of their head with the other. The motion dragged his robes off to reveal the leather-plated armor underneath and the hidden swords and daggers.

When he realized who it was however he looked, stunned at his actions. Somia.. He was almost going to ... he couldn't think on it. Retracting the spear, he sits Somia gently beside him; ashamed. She was clearly no better in condition, but had came out to perhaps even greet him.

" N-No it is fine Lady Somia, I can do the watch fine, Sasha is planning on taking over after my shift. But, if you, perhaps.. would like to keep me company? I would.. enjoy that. I promise during your stay I'll be alot more.. gentle.. and maybe.. not boring. " grabbing his robe and awkwardly trying to put it back on.

So that Vantas had optimum time to finish this spear he would probably take a watch one of the few people who can see well at night. Somia and Siddok seemed tired, and Thrace has Human eyes.

Vantas wearily looks to Thrace as she seems to require his attention. Currently he was hammering the dagger into a shaft he found and cut a cross section into to hug the metal tight.

" Thrace, at this moment my selection is limited as I do not have all of the materials needed to change them. As such, simple enchantment is even out of my reach. Another thing you seem to forget here Thrace is that Sasha.. was at the Dinner with us, when we all went unconscious. While the other three were not. The Journal also seems to point to another. Think upon it, the Captain was jealous and was being.. manipulated by Ieana. Both Him, I, Sasha, Somia and the first mate used a rapier quite well. If anything a smart person would kill the first mate and then toss the evidence into that pile so that it is blamed on someone else. No.. We will not be solving the problem tonight. For we don't have enough evidence and very little points to her. "

He looks at Thrace with a stare that slowly gains a smile. " However, if she does turn out to be the culprit.. you'll have first shot. As it is now, every person we lose is strength we do not have. " admiring the spear he was crafting, checking for imperfections.

Don't lie. Even you can see it

Siddok: *whispers* Vantases-ssempai, Notices me *Turns face away*
Vantas: What is it Siddok, you seem fidgety.. more than normal
Siddok: Its just.. Vantases spear very long and pointy; majestic.

lol.

Oh my~ What is with all of this attention Vantas is getting.. the fangirls have enough material as it is.

Vantas takes Sasha's frivolous yet inspiring suggestion into consideration. Though he did not find them cute nor adorable, he found that Domestication of creatures who could fly most profitable. He informs Sasha that the next chance they got, he would try to retrieve a clutch for their purposes.

Satisfied with the report given by Aerys, Vantas searches his prior knowledge of jungle cats to see if the description matched a beast he knew of Knowledge Nature Please. He gives Aerys and Ishirou great praise and explains to her that there needs to be those who remain at the camp for now to secure it; that he only left the site because he trusted in both of their strengths and decisions. Both factually true and in an attempt to cheer her up. If she has any issues, he bid her speak to him at anytime.

After a slight rest, Vantas partakes of the snake/lizard dinner with Ishirou, Siddok, and Aerys. he was conserving food as best he could. Telling of his future plans on dealing with the rest of the Island. I

n his off time and during the Morning If possible, Vantas plans to create a makeshift Longspear for Siddok using the blade from one of his remaining daggers hammering it into a sturdy shaft, tempering it slightly and wrapping it in a sturdy cloth which he soaks, tightens and dries so the bond is tight and reliable. Not sure if craft and survival, whatever your call.. its a pointy stick for a small size char.

*Fans Self* I assume that Somia Also partakes of Vantas' tasty fruit? Need to know tallywise so that he has a number left in my inventory.. Also if Somia did.. it sure put her to sleep quickly.. she must have been satisfied.

As they approach Vantas raises his spear to hail the exploration party's arrival. Using his ioun stone as their notable marker. The travel was long and they did not accomplish much, the group unscathed however. It seemed treacherous, as poisonous creatures seemed to be everywhere.

Vantas encourages Siddok's action and asks how the camp fared while they were out upon exploration. He will inform the camp-goers of their findings, laying the animals down near the fire to be prepared and cooked. if there is not enough food he offers some of the berries to the rest. Ensuring everyone is well fed and that the reserves last as long as possible. He checks on the well-being of every person as well if they allow him to.

" We didn't find out much today, save for the fact this Island is more vast than I anticipated. We might need to stockpile food so that longer foray's are possible. For now, we have accomplished much and found a pocket of reliable food at least. Relax and enjoy your meals. If anyone would like to speak to me, feel free. I am a bit.. tired from all of the stress. " Vantas goes inside the Longhouse, Ioun stone floating about.

The berry invigorates you, it specially juicy and tasty. There is clearly magic at work here as Thrace feels as though she had consumed a full course meal, memories of whenever she could have experienced that flow into her mind. She is not sickened but satisfied instead. Vantas watches any signs of Thrace's experience with a smirk, knowing, if anything, she would be fine for the day. If you were hurt it would also heal 1 HP; thus the revitalizing effect

" Not a meat eater? I hope it was to your liking.. " As she had chosen the berry a little apprehensively.

Vantas nods to the kobolds' willing information " Hrmm, time will be a factor yes. When our group becomes more well acquainted with each other, I could send you out to scout and our timing will be such that your skills shall be utilized. For now I simply ask your Tripwire traps be placed around camp just in case someone gets an Idea to attack us at night. " Doing a small twirl i the air with the hilt portion of his spear.

" These smoke traps are intriguing however.. I can see multiple uses for those.. Especially on the lizard nest, we will eventually have to rout it regardless. Unless we find more common food. They might also have some of my cache with them as a trinket; I must make sure. "

Vantas speaks to Siddok as he seems to ride his coattails on the way back to camp; slathering over what he assumes to be hot food or something equally as tempting. " Siddok, I realize you seem a bit skittish but, outside your expertise in wilderness lore and alchemical reagents, what are you capable of? Specifically what type of traps can you create with your current resources? As of now, we could not take on many a creature larger than those we have faced unless we have greater numbers. Luring such a beast into a trap would be most beneficial. Against smaller swarms of creatures, a smoke or blinding light would do well.. enough to mask us or disorient them as we pick them off. I have also noticed you collect poison quite effectively. Perhaps a mechanism with a spike that has poison along with it? The snake or large scorpion poison should do nicely there. Truly I'm curious what a little draconian as yourself can do. " He says keeping his eyes forward.

Vantas sighs once more, but his heart gets the better of him and he relents to Somia's desire. He pulls out one of his many tools he uses for casting and does a small hum. He would insure that at least for today, no one would go hungry. " We shall head back to camp, yes, Stick close t-to me the entire way Lady Somia. It gets Dangerous at night especially if you cannot see past a few yards. I don't want to see you get hurt.. er any of you really. It would mar my reputation. NOW, to deal with this starvation issue! There are 9 people so I shall try to provide for that much. "

UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
UMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Berries: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

After about a minute of Vantas summoning up his arcane might it functions and 7 berries glisten for the faintest of moments as he grasps them in his hand. "An old spell one of my more Wilderness inclined passengers taught me.. Seven. This will provide a day's sustenance for seven people. It will also cure some minor ailments. If you do not wish to partake in any of this meat, you can have one of these. " He says to them all as he re-straps his bow and holds his spear tight, starting to double-back.

Vantas looks to Somia and sighs though she was somewhat right, survival dictated that the strong had to overcome or become the weak. " That is fine Somia, I understand, however this is not a game.. we barely have food for the rest.. and While I can supply more it is not a sure thing.. we will need more. It will become night however and we can come here later after we have formulated a plan. " Vantas sighs.

About how far are they away from our position, and about how many roughly does Vantas hear?

Vantas watches Siddok back up and thinks upon his caution. So far not a single creature has shown much deadliness outside of lethal poison. However the party had the advantage of numbers. In this case there was one for each. Each of their bodies should give about enough sustenance for 1-2 people. Resources were scarce.. at least the 4 of the creatures would need to die to provide for the camp. Luckily, if there were more Vantas had a plan. Where animals and humanoids differed, was intelligence.
He whispered to Siddok as he started into the trees " Siddok dont go to far.. I have a plan and it may require you; Besides, if you leave a snake might gobble you up. You know how poisonous they are."

" Lady Somia, I believe it has to do with pride and more to do with danger. The creatures we have faced are not nocturnal, which means that worse could arise in the night. And though his race and mine both fare fine at night, you and Thrace are Human; thus require light. We will do one more foray west before doubling back to the camp, hopefully a little more food in tow. " Vantas says somewhat upset at the rate their exploration had gone but even more concerned at their current food consumption.

Vantas drops the spear down impaling one of them upon the blade and inspects it. " I am not sure if they have anything useful for your materials Siddok, best to check. Otherwise add them to the food pile.. It seems besides scorpions, this island has its fair share of aggressive reptiles. " He picks the dagger Thrace misplaced and tosses it back to her " Here, Catch. Next time we meet something like those... I believe the belly is soft and exploitable. making sure they are properly cleaned before having the group explore further, it could not have been more than 2 hours.

I would assume its something that's not too out of normal for Thrace. Kinda like Vantas and his using Arcane Strike every round unless otherwise mentioned. But we will see, Ellix seems reasonable

Vantas harries the flying lizards, having gotten a feel for their flight patterns and realizing bracing would do little good as they seemed mobile. This however lead him to believe that was their fighting style and he would use that against them. He strikes out with the spear at the lizard Somia aimed. Then setting himself to allow the creatures no escape.

Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Whichever deemed to move at all he stabs once more.
So basically almost sure I might get this one.. if not somehow that cool, they may have acrobatics.

AoO Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
AoO Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

I believe it is Thrace's turn.. then again it basically becomes everyone elses and then the enemies?

Vantas waited for the wrong cue the creatures seem attached to Thrace for some odd reason.

Hrm I forgot that in PF you reroll dice for crits and damage unless specifically noted not to. So that Ready would just be 13 damage.. which is avg anyway. Might skewer one before it gets anyone.

Nah its good, We will assume you get close to Vantas and fire that. The action makes sense.

Vantas seems very ready in the pouring rain. His mind cannot fathom what these creatures are for now and as such he takes precaution. Seeing as Thrace seems astounded by the attack and unable to react in time, Vantas covers her as she was the only other ranged Specialist next to Somia. " Everyone Form a tight group on me, Wait for them to strike if you have no way to get them from afar.. that way they risk the most from any attack. My spear should prevent the most foolhardy attacks. Thrace I thought you were more aware, I'll cover you for now." He readied his spear against a charge from the sky.

Readied Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Readied Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Lol, double damage on a charge at least

AoO Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
AoO Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Vantas shakes the snake's corpse off his spear, leaving the body to Siddok, " Hrmmph, that is what it gets for attempting to strike at a superior creature. Excellent teamwork, everyone. Siddok, draw its poison and then recover as much of it as you can, surely the snake is worth a meal or two. When you are finished, we are moving onward..we covered barely a mile. The weather shouldn't pose too much a problem " He checks the point of his weapon as it rains; he continues in the little time it takes Siddok to salvage the snake.

Maximum pitiful damage though

When Thrace gets into position Vantas unleashes a powerful strike hopefully while it was distracted and enough to drop it after Thrace's assault.

Flanking Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Flanking Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (3) = 12

Vantas sees the snake is quicker than he expected, noting its size and type he figured this creature was dangerous as well. A Black Mamba, both deadly in trees and in the sea. After Somia's arrow went wide at the last moment, he saw it his job to make sure it died as fast as the scorpion before.

"Siddok get on the other side of the snake so that lady Somia has a straight shot towards it whether she uses a bow or blade. Your job is to just provide another threat. Basically that topmost left corner; Combat expertise if you need to. Thrace strike together from the other side of the snake like we did upon the ship.. we need to kill it before its venom reaches anyone! He instructs, hoping the coordinated assault would confuse the creature and leave it open.

"Wretched creature.. How dare you strike out me.. I'm sure your body will make good cooking. "

Vantas leaps back and tries to skewer the snake on his spear.
Arcane Longspear Stab: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Arcane Longspear Stab Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Vantas sighs and shakes his head. You cant please everyone, he submitted himself to that fact. Thrace clearly had something going on with her mindset that he could not fathom, not that his experience with women have ever been all that.. successful in life. " Fine. I will say however.. If you become terribly injured I will DRAG YOUR BODY BACK HERE AND DO IT ANYWAY. Otherwise you are completely dependent on my magicks if your resources dwindle. "

His smirk lengthens somewhat and he looks to the rest of his team. " Regardless, we will be sweeping the coast west of here and then doing one inward into the forest, much like a large lap in a field. We shall be back to camp before it becomes dark. Our first objective is exploration to create some sort of map specifically for this island. I and Siddok will be marking our progress. Our Second objective is stockpiling food. Anything other than that such as supplies, reclamation of our lost items or information shall be tertiary for now. And I must stress survival is the most important, it overrides any other objective. If there is a choice between your life being in danger and retrieving something I will choose your life. Corpses are useless to me. If you are tired, I'm sure that will solve itself as we walk. Let's depart. "

Vantas turns and rests his spear on his shoulder before walking west.

Vantas raises a curious brow at this and while paying full attention to Somia during his conversation he keeps tabs on Thrace as well. When he is doe he walks over to Thrace arms folded and inquisitive. Seeing her little display he could not help but say this. " And I see you are busy preparing your blades. Good, I will note however that your little message is unbecoming of you. Somia is the sun incarnate but that does not mean you do not have charm of your own even with your deadly accuracy and abrasive personality. Your appearance is not bad either, you simply push people away. Then again, there might be a person or two that finds that attractive, who's to say? Regardless, we are leaving soon, but you know that already.. right?" turning away, leaving it like that; he heads to Siddok.

The jealousy is strong in someone... >.>

Vantas awoke to the sound of Somia's voice.. though sadly not in his hammock to keep him warm at night. It however was good enough for him, Somia's face was like a ray of sunshine; the call of the eagle to spread its wings to meet the day; an oasis to the thirsty adventurer in the desert. He felt energized simply from their small interactions.. If only the situation did not have to be during the deaths of other crew members and stranded on a cursed island. He shifted out of his elevated bed and stretched.

" Eager to speak to me this morn so early Lady Somia? To answer your question, No I do not expect to settle here. We needed a sufficient shelter and I provided means to. Until we have a stable or constant source of food however.. a farm might be possibility. I don't plan on being here more than a few months if possible. Don't you worry. B-But if that WAS the case... I-I wouldn't mind being on such an Island with you..." he paused and fake yawned "You all by my side.. yes.. you all.."

He began strapping on his equipment and seeing to the morning ritual of starting a fire. He checked on the well being of everyone else then proceeded to wait for the rest.. Jask ensuring everyone is fresh " Now my lady, we are going into dangerous territory. We are going to find out what this island has to offer and hopefully more food. Along the way we should get information on wildlife, the captain and Ieana, and any Loot we can find to make life a little easier. You have about an hour, I dont want to waste sunlight.."

Heh we basically took all the supplies and like.. a quarter of the ship. NOW we have a safe cap to basically live in.

Vantas assures this night everyone is somewhat merry after the work is done but is quite tired after the event. His magic gave both him and Ishirou the strength of an Ant. The Mast was the toughest piece to carry but was the most important. With Two campfires at each end and his floating Ioun stone providing light from inside, the longhouse was sufficiently lit, protected and comfortable.. for something they made in one day.

Before sleep he will request that Jask prepare spells such as Mending to clear patches and strengthen the structure. Create Water and Purify Food and Drink. The others he should see fit, And if possible.. to use the glow of Nethys to revitalize (Channel) the scouting group before they venture out. The Group consisting of Thrace, Somia, Siddok and himself.

Ishirou he set along with Aerys, on guard duty. They were strong enough to repel lesser threats. If the scouting party didn't return after a set time he set Sasha had Gelik on hunter-gathering. Even though they had about 18 stores left, that was far too little to be comfortable with.

After all is said and down Vantas crawls into his bed/elevated Hammock for the night, weary and satisfied with his endeavors... mostly. He keeps his items close, shaking the wand that no longer had energy but storing it in his Scrollbox to remind him he would need to restore it.

The Longhouse
Longhouse

Basically this with a mast made to be the main structural supports and ropes to hold the canvas.

" Thrace if possible don't try to take more than your able.. your combat prowess will drop and make your near useless.. Remember you are under my leadership for now. If there is nothing else lets us leave. "
Vantas carries a sizable amount, with the rope and extra armors, potions, shovels and whatnot. If nothing happens along the way Vantas will then explain the exact plan to the other survivors at the camp picking the strongest out of them as his partner in lifting. Jask would receive freedom along with the leather armor, his Holy symbol and spell component pouch; Vantas obviously pleased the follow the same diety. He would request the use of Ishirou's axe and the might of anyone capable, those less-so would be staying at the base camp with Siddok as he draws a crud map in the sand depicting where holes should be dug and where rope should be attach to create a strong frame when the rest receive the materials. But first their acceptance of the plan was most needed. Everyone no matter ability, would feel useful.

Vantas noticeably blushes when Somia responds with high praise and flirtation simultaneously. He kept a commander's stature and form nonetheless. " Well then, I hope I continue to impress you much.. Later, Lady Somia" he winks back at her though there is a bit of sweat.

Vantas muses over the information laid about upon him at this moment and their sudden reclamation of loot. He is quiet during this time watching the rest of the party go along with their predisposition. He deems it appropriate to speak now, " Well then, it seems our situation is worse than I thought. Ieana must have been behind most of this, she entranced the captain with her beauty and I'm sure wiles. Then went about her plans to come here for some misguided reason. To think he was so easily manipulated, I question why he was the captain rather than I, but alas that matters little now." only beginning his speech.

He turns to Thrace who seemed to be busy taking anything for herself and questioning who could have done this. " As you can tell the wounds were made by the same person, one after the other. Most likely the captain and Ieana killed the cook when he refused to place something into the food that knocked us all out. And then when Alton found out AFTER the crash they killed him as well.. I think so for I have had many talks with Alton; He was a little rough but a good-natured fool. Rest his soul. I also remind you that much like Sasha, the one you accuse or Somia, the captain also wielded a rapier to my knowledge.. and anyone can wield a dagger. And those two are gone. Not to mention the captain's stated intent. " Vantas uncrossed his arms and sighed, setting the end of his longspear to the deck.

" Regardless, either one of them are Kill-on-sight at this point. Neither mean good intentions for our survival. Grab what you can and anything else hand to me. You might not realize it, but from that spear thrust I can tell you that carrying scrolls, books and other accessories builds strength. At this point it is in our best interest to suitably equip ourselves. Thrace can have the dagger and armor for now. Somia you should take her offer for armor as.. you are most exposed. Take Alton's Short Sword as well, its quality should give you the edge if need be. Every one of you shall take a potion of Cure Light Wounds and One of Lesser Restoration. That way you have a way of revitalizing yourself or another in dire straits. DO NOT, however use them if we are not in danger, I should be able to handle such wounds. " He begins instructing then almost like a commander.

" The supplies here will help in my plan most of the ship has been compromised but it is enough for my purpose. Shelter is what we need, Food has been provided but will only last 3 days, we need to get it back to the camp. The material here, from the ship is enough to create a small shack, but that will not be enough for 9 people. I will instead create a longhouse, much like the ones in the lands of the North, using the sails and other cloths as the roofing then using the excess wood for walling and a perimeter. We shall dig holes to hold the pieces in place and use the Mast as a center foundation.

From what I have seen, Jask must be a divine member of Lord Nethys' ranks which means not only possible healing magicks but the ability to have divine magicks along with my own to make the entire process easier.

" As much as I would like to, I am still the only member of the Jenivere Crew available and I'd LIKE to get everyone there alive and well~ish, y reputation is at stake. Now follow me..Miss Fireball otherwise your rash behavior would mar my record with what you warn are..'deaths' "

Vantas nods to Jask " When we return we shall see about it.. as we currently do not have the keys.. all else fail I may have a way around that. "

Vantas simply smirked when Siddok finally positioned himself near hi and gave the Kobold a reassuring nod "Stay close to me and you should be fine. "
