Darvin Challenge 1:
A week into the journey the crow's nest gives alert that they have spotted dark, damaged, looking ships on the horizon - reminiscent of those that attacked Baldur's Gate. They aren't sure that the Lady Narath has been spotted yet. The crew turns to you, Darvin, for command.
In narrative form:
"Captain!" Called Yeshanks, an oddly stylish gnome, from the crow's nest. "I see an undead ship on ze horizon!"
"Have they spotted us?" Glibpo, the cities recommendation to serve as first mate, said stepping forward, "Are they making way for us?"
"Zey have ze wind at zer backs, but I am not sure zey have seen us - we are quite a distance now. It is only zanks to my vision that we can see them at all!"

Darvin, I'll need your orders, and your rolls. You can provide rolls for other crewmembers as well.
ReplyDeleteTalathel, of course, can provide assistance as he is able.
ReplyDeleteDarvin was not thrilled with the announcement that came down from the crow's nest. His mind went back to the battles and blockade of Baldur's Gate.
ReplyDelete"We need to hold back and stay out of sight," Darvin declared, "Going toe to toe with one of those undead ships is unlikely to end well for us."
Guybrush nodded his approval, "Perhaps, Captain, we should do our best to be stealthy for the rest of this voyage."
"An excellent idea, Guybrush. I was just about to say so myself." Darvin replied to the monkey. Even though the city had sent a "first mate" with them Darvin and Guybrush knew who the real first mate was.
"Reef the sails! Helmsman, hug the coast and listen to my directions. We will be using every ounce of knowledge and trick I know to stay out of site of these buggers."

Perception: 1d20: 6+12 = 18
The crew worked hard to follow his directions, hugging closer to the coast, but an hour later, it appeared that the vessel was still on the distance.
ReplyDelete"I'm not sure if zey see us or if zey are just in a patrol pattern zat mirrors our position Captain!" Glibpo called from above.
Zahjar, the helmsman, called from back, "I'm not sure if we can keep hugging the shore like this - we are close to the ruins of Waterdeep and I'm sure well run across patrols from that harbor soon!"
Talathel:
While Darvin is on deck dealing with the trailing vessel, you hear a grinding sound from below your quarters. There's a sudden shout and one of the crewmembers shouts, "ay havoc, what the 'ell was that?"
"I'll check it out," Talathel says. He finds the stairwell, and goes down a deck.
