In the interest of getting this moving again...
Everyone finds some random thing to do during their free day in Tarsis. Nym and Darvin were planning on spending a romantic day together. This was interrupted by the sword who spent most of the morning badgering him about a growing evil. With a heavy sigh he searched it out and discovered that a local priest had been possessed by a minor ifrit that had been intent on raising a demon.
No one was sure what Grumbleshanks did and he did not volunteer any information.
Violet and Aranel wound up spending the day parusing the local museums and noble shops.
The next morning Ascadan took them to the harbor loaded them on the ship and waved goodbye. It took a few days, but the captain of the vessel finally tracked down the Lady Narath.
From afar the ship looked like it was in good condition, but when Captain Darvin arrived on the ship he could tell that it had been through a few rough patches in the last couple of days. The sails had tears in them and the crew looked haunted.

As the vessel drew up alongside the Lady Narath, a gangplank was attached to both ships, providing a walkway from one to the other.
ReplyDeleteNot knowing what to expect, and realizing the crew may not be especially welcoming to strangers without some sort of sign from Nym or Darvin, Violet hung back with Aranel, indicating that Nym and Darvin should take the lead. She eyed the crew, taking a count and looking for any tell-tale signs of possession by spirits.

"Captain, thank God you are here!" Greg said rushing forward as Darvin looked about the ship. His eyes looked tired and bloodshot. "It has been one disaster after another for us."
ReplyDeleteGrumbleshanks walked on board.
"Squiggles will love it here."
Darvin looked up at JANUSA (because Whittaker forgot Greg was dead) and said, "Well, that is something we can relate on. Give me a status report." Darvin said solemnly.
ReplyDeleteShe took a deep breath. "We lost several crewmembers - already buried at sea. During one of the storms we lost our topsail..."
ReplyDeleteIn general, the ship is still able to function, but many of the spare parts were lost in the storms. Food and medical supplies are running low so a stop in a port to restock would be a good idea before journeying elsewhere.
"The only other main news to relate is that we are pretty sure we spotted pirates in these waters, so we will want to be careful captain!"
After hearing the report from Janusa, fighting back tears, Darvin said, "We have some more sea burials to do," Thjodolf's corpse, which had been embalmed and with the party since they left the orc camp was being hoisted on to the ship, "The Lady is in no shape to sail on. We need to get back to port for repairs. The ship we just came on will escort us back. Prepare the crew. We leave as soon as everyone is back onboard."
ReplyDeleteEveryone bids the captain of the other vessel farewell and The Lady Narath makes her way back toward a friendly port.
ReplyDeleteCould I get an appraisal check and a diplomacy check for the repairs and refitting costs?
Did you want to do the funeral services before or after you refit?

Violet is able to make sense of what the goods and services should cost, but her attempts to bargain fail utterly.
ReplyDeleteViolet feels very frustrated at her inability to bargain, and pulls the other adventurers in to the negotiations to help.
ReplyDeleteDarvin, Nym, or Aranel, some assistance, please?
