"Nature's Wrath.." Nerine whispers as the sky literally start to fall. She removes the net as fast as she can and just bundles it up as she moves to the railing and starts yelling something down at the water in a strange language as she gestures rapidly.
She looks to the sky again and begins plotting out the path of all the falling rocks she can see and yelling out directions.
Suny, being in the rigging and high off the deck will make Spot checks.
Gripping the ropes tightly, Suny watches out for how the great chunks of falling rock are smashing into the sea around them and yells down to Kai and Finn how many points to turn the ship's wheel.
Kyre looks as if awestruck up at the tumult in the skies, murmuring We didn't escape. The end of all things followed us here. But then she shakes her head as if to clear it, and says in a voice clearer and stronger than any she's been heard speaking with before Looks like we have another chance to save the world!
Kyre hastens to the side of the ship, ascends the rigging just enough to get a clear view, then turns her fey-blessed eyes upward to try to help the others find the safe course.

DM: Round 1 Rocks seen thus far that require sailing checks to avoid:
DM:
Partially blinded, shaken, and now critically distracted, Grunge doesn't see in time a huge impact so close to him it blasts him with a gout of super heated water and steam. He cannot get out of the way in time to take the brunt of the damage.
Grunge manages to keep his balance, but is burned by the scalding steam. He takes point/s of damage.
The memory of his dying chieftain fighting alone, against the forces of darkness, inspires Kai'itza to roar in challenge at this epic event of celestial magnitude. As the debris falls from the sky, great spouts of super-heated water blast from all around the ship and several stand blinded on deck, Kai finds himself calm as what needs to be done fills him with resolve.
Kai continues to follow the Captains orders as fast as he can, steering alongside Finn to avoid the following debris as the shouts from the spotters are relayed to the Captain and from there to the helmsmen.

With the suns' eclipsing, he looked away for a mere moment before he heard calls around the deck - he moved to the center of the ship and took a gander when his eyes could handle such a sight - and they widened dearly.
"All men, cover up! Spread out amongst the deck! Take us to port, then starboard not 15 yards after!"
He was never tied off - he learned in his days that may as well end your life in some storms, for you may never be able to undo it in time to not drown!.. not that that mattered to him.

The ship creaks and moans as it pull it's weight out of harms way. The rock would of indeed hit if it were not for Krye's keen eye, the captain's careful plotted path through the churning waves, and the strength or arm required to pull of this maneuver.
Aftermath of round 1:
Casualties: 0
Wounded: 1
Ship Damage: 0
Due to the sudden maneureving everyone on deck needs to roll a balance check DC 12 or lose footing and fall prone.
Special: If you have secured your self in some way, or are holding onto rigging etc, you get to add a +4 bonus to the roll.
Spot Checks for something hidden that is happening. This is separate from round 1 or 2 boulders coming afterwords.

Hearing the Captains command, Kai responds and steers the ship as best he can. Seeing the first part of their danger is past, he releases a tense breath. A good day indeed He scans the surrounding waters while keeping a wary eye out for the Captains next quick command.
With much to do still, the captain would make an attempt to move, but he knew even with his commands the effort would be rough. He sighed, and began to issue another command.
"If you can't stay on your feet, get down below! We don' need anyone t' be slidin' off this boat now! That's an order!"
As his desire to get things done goes out of his mouth, one could tell with a keen ear that his accent wasn't real, most likely after the fact. In fact, he sounded more sophisticated than he did a sailor. But, with that out of the way, Devannis looks around, a keen eye as always.

DM:
Captain Pantera is knocked off his feet, and will begin round two prone. You(he) also need/s to make a successful balance check to stand back up and steady himself. Another failure results in possible status.EDIT: Ops!
DM NOTE:
There will be a penalty to navigation rolls next round due to the chain of command being compromised. Though if he regains footing it is still possible.
Balance: You lose your footing due to the sharp turns. Only your pride is hurt however.
Spot: Unsuccessful.

DM Narration:
Kai and Finn, who only moments before may have looked funny standing ready at a calm wheel, showed amazing insight and readiness. For that wheel was indeed difficult to control for those hairpin turns that were just quickly ordered. They indeed avoided the rock Kyre warned tham about by inches.
You could of sworn you saw a lining of green light on the rigging and sails.
Seeing the strange lighting on the rigging he reacts with the utmost haste by warning the crew, especially those stationed in the rigging. Whether or not his eyes were playing tricks on him he wouldn't take the risk of keeping his mouth shut. Seeing the Captain hit the deck Kai grimaces at the impact, perhaps the maneuvers were... too quick. He was sure to hear about this later.
Thinking hard on the strange event he decides to pass the command to have some of the crew to be ready to combat fire, especially because of the burning debris raining down. He knew they had some repair kits in storage below but that wouldn't save them if the entire ship went up in a blaze. But those who were to pass the gear up stay below deck and await the signal before bringing it on deck. Couldn't be too careful, we could manage broken bones and bumped heads more then someone going overboard.
Ready anti-fire gear, stay below deck until signaled otherwise, remain as secured as possible to avoid injury.
Hearing Kai's call for anti-fire gear, Nerine almost cries in despair! Fire? She couldn't fix damage like that, not without extra wood! She stares fiercely into the sky, watching with wide eyes as she prepares to shout out warnings...

Garth's muscles already coiled and ready for action, snap out and latch onto the center mast. Swinging it slightly counterclockwise he positioned a wooden crosspiece and rigging directly behind the stumbling captain, giving him a lifeline to grab on to instead of tumbling into the sea. It wasn't graceful, but it did keep the captain on his feet, if a little bit dazzled.
End Result: Garth burns his 'karma' point earned for rolling a natural 20, to negate Captain Pantera's natural 1. There's still a minor penalty to navagation rolls next round, but it isn't as bad as having your captain overboard.
Olek Moltova watches in awe as the smaller sun splits in two. He doesn't even register what Kyre is saying.
"Cursed!" He mumbles. He holds on to the railing while he watches the happening on the sky.
So Suny: Please roll a balance check at the end of round 1 for me.
"Wheeeeeeee!"
|
|
Suny's confidence fades when she realizes the thin footing that is rigging is not conducive to keeping proper footing and she begins to fall. She will hit the deck at the end of round 1, and I will need a minute to research how high she most likely was and determine damage for the fall. Unless you have some slow fall ability, or cat's grace ability?
DM: Falling Damage * 10 = 40' high which is 4d6 in lethal damage.
@Suny
DM: Damage from the fall is (ooph!)
DM: Assuming max HP per dice you should have 25hp - 14hp = 11hp left.
DM: Also, you start round 2 sprawled on the deck, prone, and need a balance action to stand, failure means your in danger of going overboard.

The sky darkens more as clouds begin to gather around you as if alive and curious. Waves crash against the ship with increased frequency. Small white caps on the tips of waves indicate that the sea is churning more violently.
More fiery rocks and debris rain down all around the ship, pockmarking the sails and landing on the deck of the ship. More boulder sized chunks threaten the ship and streak overhead. Some crash close to the ship with the force of cannon balls.
DM: 20% chance of OMITTED CONTENT. (>= 20, is bad.) No change.
The sails are still intact, and 100% functional at this time, the damage from debris is minimal at best. There is a new lining of what looks like green fire on the sails and rigging, that fade in and out of existence.
* Make sure to do the fear first, if you fail it's an additional -2 to all skill checks for being shaken.

With a loud and wet THUMP Suny slams into the deck and lays still.
"Oooo....some one's flip me over...I likes being on me sunny side up..." She moans
Offical text: A Balance check doesn’t require an action; it is made as part of another action or as a reaction to a situation.
okay so i'm mildly confused so please roll for me this round will and i will join in next as im in and out of the hospital with my aunt right now and have to work should return to normal tomorrow
With a quick rescue, Devannis moved with haste to dodge the debris that followed - he moved towards the helm quickly and with eyes looking every direction.
"Come on! Get moving! We need that fire or whatever that is, out, now! We can make it through this!"

Coiling her arm through the rigging to help keep herself secure, Kyre clings to her post and continues to scan the skies, this time with her eyes and her ears. Any sound not connected with the descending boulders flickers into her awareness without making any impression, but the eerie green glow in the upper rigging makes the corner of her mouth twitch in recognition...
As the captain approaches, Kai explains about the strange green lighting that was outlining the rigging and sails earlier. "That iss why I called to prepare for fire, I do not know what I ssaw but it wasssn't right~ I did not mean to exceed your authority Captain" He continues to battle the wheel, as the celestial debris rains down, with Finn's help and the Captains encouragement.

Kyre finds herself torn - the Quartermaster stands ready to battle any incipient stormfire, so she dismisses that as not her concern. But there are still chunks of debris falling from the sky, and now creatures emerging from the depths. She shouts a warning of whatever boulders' course she can see, then abandons the post of spotter. Heading to a post amidships, she readies her bow and calls, "Prepare to repel boarders!"
Nerine slips as she tries to figure out just what green fire means when it fades in and out like that.. perhaps she ate a sick fish?

For round 3 ( I think ^^; ):
Hearing the call to repel boarders and seeing some of the crew scrambling to draw their weapons, Kai'itza's eyes narrow dangerously. As Finn finishes speaking Kia'itza nods his head in agreement, he spares a quick glance around watching warily for the possibility of the enemy appearing up behind them.
Speaking quickly to Finn over the excited din of voices coming from on deck. "No Matter what we cannot ssurrender the ssshipss wheel or allow them into the lower decksss. We have to do whatever it takesss to hold them if they try!" He adjusts his darkwood shield on his back and checks to see if his javelins are still there after so much jostling around.
Suny just lays on the deck where she fell. She isn't in any shape to do much at all.
"Uuuuh, a lil' help here." She says as best she can.

"Prepare to repel boarders!"
** spoiler omitted **
DM: You can hold off on Initiative until round 3, just so I can have it when needed. You can still ready your weapons and position now for round 3, and still use round 2 to spot if you wish.
Looking at the ship pics in the Stormwrack book as a reference it looks liek the ships main deck has a middle section and 2 elevated sections at the Fore and Aft. I'm going to assume that Kai'Itza and Finn are still at the wheel which is in the Quarterdeck(the raised Aft section), Suny is in the middle section of the main deck area, and that Kyre is on the Foc'S'le(the raised fore/front section.)
The NPCs, Gunny, Garth, Hamish, and Vulpa are all in the middle section as well, and are prepared to repel invaders.
If you want a visual reference you can turn to page 95-99 of Stormwrack, if need be I can get a pic if you don't have access to that book.

End of Round 2 results:
@Suny: Vulpa spent her round attending to Suny's injuries, after checking her for broken bones or fractures she tries to help her to her feet. Channeling some of her inner reserves she also channels 7 points of healing energy into you.
Vulpa (to Suny): "On your feet lass, we got creatures incoming."
Hamish: "Get ready, there's a lot of them coming up the sides of the ship!" Hamish shouts, as he absent-mindfully fidgets with his twin blades.
Gunny picks up a wooden rod that was rolling around on the deck and readies himself at the edge of the deck in a diminutive fighting stance.
Gunny: "Ready!" he declares.
Garth regains his footing, a curse on his tongue at his misfortune, and readies himself for fighting.
Nafa pokes her head from the crows nest and readys a slingshot as she scans the deck below.

DM: @Nerine does loose her balance this round, while she doesn't fall she is flat footed as the dark shape leaps at her from the railings. She is caught unaware and surprised as the dark shape lunges and connects. She will start round 3 grappling with a dark figure.
@Suny: Vulpa spent her round attending to Suny's injuries, after checking her for broken bones or fractures she tries to help her to her feet.
"On your feet lass, we got creatures incoming."
Suny stifles a groan again as Vulpa helps her to stand.
"Aye, an' I dun't know whut come over me. I in't never felled from th' ropes afore." She blushes, "Well, an' not gone over th' side an' in't th' water." she whispers.
As she looks around, she sighs,
"An' here I be with out me fightin' kit an' clobber on, t' boot!" She looks pulls one of her slim blades and heads towards the railing.
