Nym awoke to the sound of some sort of prayer on the main deck and hopped up, excited to start the day. She pulled her fingers through her hair as she ran up the the main deck. She stopped briefly to wave enthusiastically at Beranhond leading a prayer circle and then ran over to Nesme, who was impatient to eat and exercise. Nym fed the horse and saddled up to take her for a quick ride. She stopped in town to ask if anyone knew where she could buy supplies for a mini stable and borrow a cart for these supplies. A portly middle aged man stopped her and offered her spare wood and the use of his cart for the day. "Little Lady, your deeds in the sewers have saved many lives. The least I can do is offer you the supplies you request." Nym smiled and thanked him. They hooked Nesme to the cart and loaded it with wood.
When she returned to the ship, she cleared a space on the lower deck under the stairs and sharing a wall with her room, for Nesme. Carlinya saw Nym hard at work on some mystery project, and after a brief explanation of what Nym was doing, Carlinya offered to help. They set about building a pen for Nesme in the cleared area. Eventually Lailsan too joined their work, since she had become rather fond of both Carlinya and Nym.
Craft:Carpentry checks (1d20) Nym 16 - 2 HP/hr Lailsan 12 - 1 HP/hr Carlinya 19 - 2 HP/hr
The three women spend the morning building the pen, and though it isn't the most magnificent horse pen ever seen, it was sturdy and would contain Nesme well. Nym thanked Lailsan and Carlinya for their help and then took Nesme and the cart back to the abandoned stable in the destroyed part of town where she'd spent the 10 days prior to the party. She loaded the cart with hay for Nesme to stand on, water and food troughs, extra food, and a shovel and bucket for removing Nesme's mess. She had trouble loading the items herself, but was able to push the larger things into the cart without lifting them.
When Nym returned, she asked several of the sailors to help her bring the supplies down to her pen. Within an hour she had the pen set up how she liked it. Nym returned the cart with Nesme, and when the came back to the ship, she carefully led Nesme down the stairs to her new pen. Nesme seemed content enough in the pen and began to eat.
Satisfied with her horse pen success, Nym ran off to the market again to buy a bucket of white paint. When she returned, she collected the painting supplies from the ship and set about scraping "Sea Star" from both sides and painting "Lady Narath" with her own flair on the ship. Admiring her work, she was pleased with how both the text and her mascot picture for Narath had turned out. She ran off to show Beranhond how the ship's name had turned out.
What deck is the horse pen on?
ReplyDeleteLower deck next to the room on the right. That's where Nym's staying. One side follows the wall that defines the walkways from the rooms and the other goes under the stairs to the right.
ReplyDeleteThe room on the right? You mean the officer's room? With a 10 in it? Or the pantry, with an 8?
ReplyDeleteYes, the officer's room. Isn't 8 the anchor room?
ReplyDeleteAlso, since you were creating something new, rather than repairing something, this has a different kind of check than the repairs. Here's the DC, and time:
ReplyDelete3 people working on it together, with the right tools: DC 10 for each person, time: 3 hours construction. 20 hp.
Ooops! You are right. Room 8 is the chain locker. :) Good catch. :)
ReplyDeleteSo we rocked it then! No one was pounding nails into their hands. :P
ReplyDeleteIndeed you did. I don't think a horse pen should be that difficult to make. :) But yes, you rocked it. Could I have a Craft: Paint check to see how well your painting on the side of the ship actually went? :D I want to know if it turned out how you wanted it to, or like a small child's drawing. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm rolling my lucky die for this... Screw you, online dice! :P
ReplyDeleteFor Lady Narath and the kitty:

Alright, so it's not always lucky... lol
You painted the pen, too?

ReplyDeleteYes, your handwriting could be mistaken for a 5 year old's. Luckily, it's easy to repaint, and retry. Here are the DC's:
ReplyDelete1-5: Like a small child's drawing. You may have to explain to people what it is.
6-10: Rough sketch or painting. Paint splatters, maybe a fingerprint here or there mar the work, but it's readable, and you can tell what the intent was.
11-15: Workable quality. Looks good, but not flashy, with minor smudges or strokes that aren't quite straight.
16-20: Good work. Looks just like you wanted it to.
21+: Awesome quality. People might remark in passing on how great the work was.
Please keep in mind that these are DC's for simple sign painting. If you are attempting to paint a portrait, that is a very different thing.
Oh, and for every square foot you are painting, I would say it takes you 5 minutes. Does that seem reasonable?
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me!
