<Bunton> I'm here.
<Vivax> Put your character below deck please.
<Gara> Alice is below deck, still, likely near Straal.
<Bunton> Ninny is below deck, sitting on a curled up George.
<Snowshoe> Straal is sitting against a wall behind a stack of barrels, waiting for someone to jump Alice.
<Vivax> Everybody give me perception checks.
<Vivax> (get above a 10)
<Bunton> 1d20+4
<CROM> Bunton: 8 (1d20+4=4)
<Bunton> ...
<Gara> d20+6 Okay.
<CROM> Gara: Okay.: 10 (d20+6=4)
<Snowshoe> Does the boost from nocturnal apply?
<Vivax> This is auditory.
<Vivax> (Buton roll for George too)
<Snowshoe> d20+8
<CROM> Snowshoe: 24 (d20+8=16)
<Bunton> Does he get the same stats as me?
<Bunton> 1d20
<CROM> Bunton: 2 (1d20=2)
<Vivax> Alright.
<Vivax> Alice and Straal hear the sound of wood breaking. Somewhere deep in the cargo hold.
<Vivax> George and Ninny are placidly sitting until George says he smells something "funny" coming from deeper in the ship.
<Gara> Alice sighs. "Should I even bother investigating?"
<Vivax>  After the snap of broken wood Straal hears the sound of flowing water.
<Snowshoe> Straal stands and heads towards the sound. "If there's a hole in the boat..."
<Bunton> N: "What do you mean by "funny"?"
<Gara> Alice follows Straal.
<Vivax> G: "Funny weird? Funny like...the smell of a spring and anger"
<Bunton> "Huh". Ninny notices everyone moving about, and gets up to follow them.
<Snowshoe> Straal draws her bow, because it can't hurt to be prepared and ships don't break on their own.
<Gara> Alice draws knives.
<Bunton> Ninny moves in between Alice and Straal, so he's shielded on both sides.
<Vivax> So you head deeper into the cargo hold. It is /dark/ down here. Lanterns hang against the walls but the cramped quarters obscure the light.
<Vivax> You hear the creaking of the ship and the sound of boots above.
<Vivax> You also hear the sound of dripping, flowing water. Those of you who are barefoot feel water underfoot.
<Bunton> Ninny starts at the feeling, and climbs on Alice's head.
<Gara> Alice isn't going to let that happen. "What the hell, stop."
<Snowshoe> Straal continues moving towards the sound, ignoring the shenanigans behind her.
<Bunton> "Uh... well, I know you might have trouble seeing, so I thought I'd... help."
<Bunton> "I can be your eyes!"
<Gara> "I can and will stab you."
<Gara> Alice does not sound amused.
<Bunton> "But... the floor's all wet..."
<Vivax> Do you look at the floor?
<Gara> "I don't care. Get off, or I'll make you." Sure?
<Bunton> Yes.
<Bunton> "...fine." Ninny gets down.
<Vivax> Perception!!
<Gara> Alice sighs.
<Bunton> 1d20+4
<CROM> Bunton: 16 (1d20+4=12)
<Gara> d20+6
<CROM> Gara: 17 (d20+6=11)
<Vivax> The water isn't moving with the ship. It's not flowing down. It's moving towards the side of the ship.
<Vivax> Do you taste the water?
<Gara> No.
<Bunton> No.
<Bunton> In fact, yes.
*** NachtRuine [Mibbit@synIRC-7027F3B8.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined #New_World
<Bunton> Let's say I land in it.
<Vivax> It's fresh water. A little stale but it's fresh.
<Vivax> What do you guys do?
<Snowshoe> Straal is still looking for whatever wooden thing broke.
<Gara> Alice keeps walking with Straal.
<Bunton> Ninny jumps up.
<Bunton> "Uh... I may not be used to sea, but isn't salt water supposed to be... salty?"
<Gara> "Yes."
<Bunton> "Funny. Because this isn't."
<Gara> "... Huh."
<Vivax> Straal locates the source of the sound. Several water barrels have cracked.
<Vivax> Water is moving uncharacteristically slowly out of the barrels.
<Bunton> "Okay, let me get this straight."
<Snowshoe> Straal walks closer to the barrels and examines them.
<Bunton> "Our fresh water supply has been damaged."
<Gara> "Yes."
<Bunton> "Is that a correct summary of the situation?"
<Bunton> "Ah."
<Vivax> SnowShoe: Perception.
<Bunton> Ninny drops to the floor and desperately starts drinking the water.
<Snowshoe> d20+10 applying nocturnal
<CROM> Snowshoe: applying nocturnal: 14 (d20+10=4)
<Gara> "So, uh. Fuck we're in trouble." Alice walks with Straal always.
<NachtRuine> Toki approaches the large group, throwing axe in hand. "Wha's goin' on? Heard somethin'."
<Bunton> "*Gurgly*"
<Bunton> "*Gurgle*"
<Gara> "Water barrel broke, from the look of it."
<Vivax> Straal: You the water ripples when you get close, ripples /away/ from you.
<Gara> Alice looks at Ninny. Then back at Straal.
<Snowshoe> "There's something... wrong with the water."
<Gara> "Wrong how?"
<Bunton> Ninny lifts his head up to breathe.
<Bunton> "Sorry, say again?"
<Snowshoe> She moves closer to the broken barrels.
<NachtRuine> Toki tries to see what's going on amidst the small crowd.
<Vivax> Perceptions from Toki and Straal
<Snowshoe> d20+10 applying nocturnal once more
<CROM> Snowshoe: applying nocturnal once more: 12 (d20+10=2)
<Gara> Alice looks at the water, trying to see what exactly broke the barrels.
<NachtRuine> d20+8 wots dis
<CROM> NachtRuine: wots dis: 23 (d20+8=15)
<Vivax> Alice: perception
<Gara> d20+6 Yup.
<CROM> Gara: Yup.: 22 (d20+6=16)
<Bunton> Ninny looks at Alice, then at the barrels.
<Vivax> SnowShoe: You realize that the water is /not/ moving along with the ship. It's moving irrespective of anything else.
<Snowshoe> "It's not flowing properly."
<Vivax> Toki: Your keen craftsmen's eye deduces that the barrels broke from the inside.
<Bunton> "Hey, uh... friends?"
<Vivax> Gara (Alice) You see that the water avoids your feet, and is crawling away.
<Gara> "... What."
<Bunton> "What's going on?"
<Gara> "This isn't how water works."
<Gara> "Magic bullshit."
<NachtRuine> Toki raises a bushy eyebrow. "These barrels ain't broke from a hit. They broke from somethin' tryin' to get out."
<Bunton> Ninny looks down at the water he just drank from.
<Gara> "Oh, thats good."
<Bunton> "...uh."
<Snowshoe> Straal looks around for anything else out of place.
<Vivax> One last perception from Straal
<Snowshoe> d20+10 apply moar nocturnal
<CROM> Snowshoe: apply moar nocturnal: 19 (d20+10=9)
<Vivax> Straal remembers the eyes in the deep from the night of the Sahgauin attack. They appear for a moment on the surface of the water. What's worse is they make eye contact with Straal.
<Vivax> Reflex save from Straal please.
<Snowshoe> d20+6 refleeexes
<CROM> Snowshoe: refleeexes: 20 (d20+6=14)
<Bunton> "...I feel a bit... funny."
<Vivax> You expertly dodge out of the way as a nearby, unbroken barrel explodes, sending shrapnel past your face.
<Vivax> Water comes galloping out of the barrel.
<Vivax> Ninny: Fortitude.
<Bunton> 1d20
<CROM> Bunton: 17 (1d20=17)
<Snowshoe> She yells, then points towards the eyes
<Gara> "FLANK IT!"
<NachtRuine> "What in the name of Moradin is goin' on?!"
<Gara> d20+10 Alice tumbles into flanking position.
<CROM> Gara: Alice tumbles into flanking position.: 14 (d20+10=4)
<Vivax> Ninny manages not to throw up as the water he swallowed tries to punch out of his stomach.
<Snowshoe> Can Straal take a shot at one of the eyes?
<Bunton> Ninny dry retches and calls for George.
<Gara> Wait. Actually. Redact.
<Gara> 1d20+7 Alice throws knives like a pro.
<CROM> Gara: Alice throws knives like a pro.: 25 (1d20+7=18)
<Vivax> Alice hits the water.
<Vivax> Damage?
<Gara> d4+4 Of dagger.
<CROM> Gara: Of dagger.: 6 (d4+4=2)
<Vivax> All of you have drunk water in the past. You know it's not supposed to scream and boil when a knife touches it.
<Snowshoe> "That's new."
<Gara> "Huh."
<NachtRuine> "This water ain't right."
<Snowshoe> Straal takes aim at where she thinks the eyes are.
<Bunton> "AaaaaaAAAARGH".
<Snowshoe> d20+4 ptchew
<CROM> Snowshoe: ptchew: 10 (d20+4=6)
<Vivax> Straal hits a barrel.
<Bunton> Ninny chokes and grunts as he rolls about the floor.
<Bunton> He manages to get a clear phrase out amongst  the sobbing.
<Bunton> "w... water elementals..."
<Bunton> "EEUAAAARGH"
<Vivax> 1d20+19
<CROM> Vivax: 22 (1d20+19=3)
<Vivax> Alright here's what happenes.
<Vivax> Alice and Ninny are hit by a wall of water as more barrels pop.
<Vivax> They are pinned to cargo crates as it rushes past them. Straal and Toki manage to hold their shit together.
<Snowshoe> Straal yells over the noise. "Maybe we could just go grab Julien?"
<Vivax> The water appears to be trying to punch it's way out of the porthole.
<Vivax> 1d20+19
<CROM> Vivax: 38 (1d20+19=19)
<Vivax> Straal is pinned to Alice.
<Gara> "NOW ISN'T THE TIME!"
<NachtRuine> "Aye, I ain't a mage, 'n this is a job fer a mage!"
<Vivax> *Wooosh*
<Vivax> You hear the sound of glass breaking.
<Vivax> Perception checks.
<Bunton> 1d20+4
<CROM> Bunton: 19 (1d20+4=15)
<Gara> d20+6
<CROM> Gara: 12 (d20+6=6)
<NachtRuine> d20+8
<CROM> NachtRuine: 11 (d20+8=3)
<Snowshoe> d20+10 nocturnal is a fun trait
<CROM> Snowshoe: nocturnal is a fun trait: 29 (d20+10=19)
<Snowshoe> Straal tries to shove herself away from the barrels and back in the direction they came from.
<Gara> Alice holds on Straal, trying to follow.
<Vivax> Straal: Roll a combat maneuver check
<Bunton> Ninny's life flashes before his eyes. Midway, he becomes bored and remembers that he's drunk a water elemental.
<Bunton> He then tries to use a ray of sickening on himself.
<Snowshoe> d20+4 rollan
<CROM> Snowshoe: rollan: 15 (d20+4=11)
<Vivax> Straal sees this but nobody else: While pushing against the water Straal sees the eyes again but they aren't alone. There is something else in the water. Another pair of eyes. The new pair of eyes wink at you and you hear "Just wait this will be hilarious,"
<Vivax> 1d20+19
<CROM> Vivax: 31 (1d20+19=12)
<Bunton> Ninny throws up into the flood.
<Vivax> Ninny throws up! Yay!
<NachtRuine> Toki is completely at a loss as of what is going on.
<Vivax> When the water elemental gets about half way out the porthole you hear a long, low wolf howl followed by...yapping? Like an excited dog?
<Vivax> The water elemental is split in half.
<Snowshoe> Combat maneuver failed?
<Vivax> And the part left behind is shaped into ice sculptures of middle fingers.
<Gara> ~What the hell, it's like water me.~
<Bunton> Ninny cries.
<Vivax> The barrels stop breaking. You are free to be confused.
<Gara> "What the fuck is going on."
<Bunton> "I don't /know/."
<Bunton> "I... I;m going to go find George and just... hold him for a while."
<Snowshoe> Straal shoves herself off the wall and shakes herself, trying to dry off. "How many mages do we have on this boat?"
<Gara> "I don't know."
<Gara> "Fuck magic."
<NachtRuine> "Aye, I wholly agree."
<Bunton> Ninny stops at the door.
<Bunton> 1d20+8 religion
<CROM> Bunton: religion: 17 (1d20+8=9)
<Snowshoe> "I'm going to go and have a word with either the wizard or the captain. Losing half our water supply is probably bad."
<Bunton> Ninny turns around.
<Gara> "Yes, it is."
<Vivax> Ninny looks back. The wreckage of the barrels is arraigned in the holy symbol of the Sea Mother.
<Bunton> "...guys."
<Gara> "What?"
<Bunton> "The, uh... the debris of this whole... thing is a bit interesting."
<Gara> "Why?"
<Bunton> "Well, because, and I could be wrong on this, it's arranged into a tribute to the Sea Mother."
<Gara> "... Meaning?"
<Bunton> "I'm not sure."
<Bunton> "But I think it means this isn't the last time we're going to have problems with water."
<Vivax> Arcana or planes!! Or another religion!
<NachtRuine> "It means we gotta get rid of it, that's what."
<Vivax> Nature works too!!
<Bunton> 1d20+8 arcana
<CROM> Bunton: arcana: 12 (1d20+8=4)
<Bunton> Ninny thinks back to his apprenticing days.
<Bunton> 1d20+8 planes
<CROM> Bunton: planes: 9 (1d20+8=1)
<FlameShirt> Maon runs down to figure out what's going on.
<Snowshoe> d20+5 naaaaatuuuuure
<CROM> Snowshoe: naaaaatuuuuure: 14 (d20+5=9)
<NachtRuine> d20+4 naature
<CROM> NachtRuine: naature: 8 (d20+4=4)
<FlameShirt> d20+7 He sees the wreckage. What's that all about?
<CROM> FlameShirt: He sees the wreckage. What's that all about?: 21 (d20+7=14)
<Bunton> Ninny realises his education in arcana was really, really poor.
<Bunton> "Oh well. Maybe we should go back to the cabin."
<Bunton> "But before that..."
<Bunton> Ninny goes over the wreckage and kicks a few barrel pieces around.
<Bunton> "Right. Let's go."
<Bunton> Ninny looks at Maon.
<Bunton> "I don't think we've met."
<Bunton> "And I'd just like to say, this wasn't my fault."
<Bunton> Ninny points at eveyone else.
<Gara> Alice looks for her knife.
<NachtRuine> "Ain't anyone sayin' it was."
<Snowshoe> Straal heads for the upper decks.
<Vivax> Alice finds her knife.
<Bunton> Ninny follows.
<FlameShirt> Maon quints at the barrels. "Sea Mother...? She's a nasty one.
<Gara> She takes it. She puts it back where is belongs.
<Snowshoe> Er, straal grabs her arrow, /then/ heads for the upper deck
<FlameShirt> "
<Bunton> Ninny snaps round.
<Gara> Alice follows Straal.
<Bunton> "You know? You know what happened?"
<FlameShirt> Maon shrugs. "Heard she's a bit of a meanie. Dunno what she's up to though."
<Vivax> Ninny gets a splinter from kicking the wreckagd.
<Vivax> *wreckage
<Bunton> "Ow. Right. Okay. I don't know what happened, or who's to blame, but I'm going to blame the priest."
<Bunton> "Anyone up for a bit of mobbing?"
<Vivax> You all know that the priest is still unconsious.
<Vivax> He has yet to wake.
<NachtRuine> "Priest ain't castin' spells asleep. I'm thinkin' wizards."
<Bunton> "How do you know he's asleep?"
<Gara> "[Straal, do you think it was him?]"
<FlameShirt> "I wouldn't go bothering Wulf about the priest just yet." Maon yawns. He's been up late working with the wounded.
<Gara> That was in Oroo, by the way.
<Bunton> Ninny remembers that the priest is comatose.
<Bunton> He also remembers that he understands Oroo.
<Snowshoe> "[I'm having a bit of a voice in my head at the moment, one second please.]"
<Bunton> "[Think it was who?]"
<Gara> Alice and Straal are going to the top deck.
<Gara> Did Ninny follow?
<Bunton> Sure.
<NachtRuine> Toki follows as well.
<Bunton> Er... no, then.
<Bunton> Okay, at this point, Ninny goes up to the top deck.
<Gara> "[What do you mean by that?]"
<Bunton> Ninny looks around.
<Bunton> He is at this point on his own in a corridor leading to wherever he was to start with.
<Bunton> "It's mothcake. And have we met before?"
<Vivax> Ninny is on the right path to get back to the upper deck should he choose to go there.
<Snowshoe> "[Whatever froze that water back there is talking to me.]"
<Gara> "[... That isn't good.]"
<Snowshoe> "[It seems friendly enough.]"
<Bunton> Ninny listens for a moment, and keeps walking to the upper deck.
<FlameShirt> Maon heads out to the top deck to stare at the sea, suspiciously.
<Gara> "[Oh, thats good, then. Why don't we invite him over for a drink?]"
<Bunton> Ninny catches up with Alice and Straal.
<Snowshoe> "[I don't think he's on the boat.]"
<Gara> "Hello, Ninny."
<Bunton> "Really? You should, they're the delicious."
<Bunton> "The moon? No, can't say I have."
<Bunton> "What does it taste like?"
<Gara> "... What?"
<Snowshoe> "It's telepathic, Ninny."
<Gara> "Ah, him too."
<Bunton> "Does spousal betrayal taste anything like bread?"
<Snowshoe> "Unless he's found another demon from wherever his worm came from."
<Bunton> "Because if not, I wouldn't know."
<FlameShirt> Gilleas is gibbering about in the rigging.
<Bunton> "Bread is... a fantastic delicacy, which I can, with some difficulty, get my hands on."
<Gara> Alice sighs.
<Bunton> "It's something you really must try. The most delicious thing in any plane, really. Why, it's so fantastic, the cost of obtaining it really doesn't cover it."
<Bunton> "I'm practically /giving/ it away."
<Bunton> "Only 50 gold for a piece. Trust me, you won't regret it."
<Snowshoe> Straal moves away from Ninny and continues towards wherever the captain usually is found.
<Bunton> "Hang on..."
<Vivax> You get up on deck. Ninny draws the curious glances of sailors.
<Bunton> Ninny turns to Straal.
<Gara> Alice follows Straal.
<Bunton> "[You said, "me too"]".
<Bunton> "[Are you hearing a voice as well?"]"
<Snowshoe> She continues walking. "[Whatever froze the water back there, yes.]"
<Bunton> "[It told you that?]"?
<Bunton> "Thief? I'm not a thief!"
<Bunton> "Never stolen a thing in my life!"
<Bunton> "I mean, a bit of persuasion, yes, a bit of dealing. But-"
<Bunton> "Oh."
<Bunton> "Hah. Yes. Hahaha."
<Bunton> "Um."
<Bunton> "So you're the person that froze the water back there?"
<Gara> ~You wouldn't survive as a thief.~
<Snowshoe> "Could you possibly think words without speaking them, Ninny?"
<Bunton> "Might I ask, who and where exactly are you?"
<Bunton> Ninny looks at Straal.
<Bunton> "You speak Irinian?"
<Vivax> (you /all/ speak it)
<Gara> "..."
<Gara> "Ninny..."
<Snowshoe> Straal stares at him, then looks around for the captain.
<Gara> Alice just... She sighs.
<Bunton> "You know, I don't think we've met. After I stop talking to the voice in my head, we'll have to have a chat."
<Gara> "[Isn't too bright, is he?]" Oroo!
<Bunton> "[You know I can understand you, right?]"
<Gara> "[I do now, but I don't care either way.]"
<NachtRuine> "There's a damn voice in my head." He says this with a slight amount of urgency.
<Bunton> "[...]"
<Snowshoe> "I think we're all hearing it, Toki."
<Gara> "I'm not."
<Bunton> Ninyn blushes.
<Bunton> *Ninny
<Gara> "Maybe it doesn't llie me because I threw a knife at it."
<FlameShirt> Maon suspects the sea of being up to something. He hasn't figured out what.
<Snowshoe> "No, it doesn't like the sea goddess. I'd think it would be all over you for stabbing something she did."
<Gara> "Huh."
<NachtRuine> "Looks more like a fox."
<Gara> "Unless it's lying."
<Vivax> Ninny you have heard that Alice likes to rub her bear chest in Straal's feathers.
<Snowshoe> Straal shrugs. "It seems like more of a... trickster, a trickster god than anything else. I don't think it would have a reason to lie."
<Bunton> "It's gone silent."
<Bunton> "...George?"
<Bunton> "/George/".
<Vivax> George is weirdly silent
<NachtRuine> "It's from the new world, 'pparently."
<Snowshoe> "I got that impression, though it didn't say so directly."
<Snowshoe> Straal is still looking for either the captain or Julien.
<Gara> Alice is helping.
<Snowshoe> With the entire party following her around as she does so.
<Vivax> Those of you who've been talking to the laughing dog get the same message, "Now you can talk about me to each other...but well...lets keep me a surprise. Surprises are the most fun. We'll be squarsies then"
<Bunton> Ninny wanders off to George, and begins shaking him violently.
<Bunton> "WAKE UP YOU LAZY BASTARD."
<FlameShirt> Maon looks over, sees the group acting nutty, shrugs, and goes back to sea watching.
<Bunton> Ninny looks round. "Okay, who else of you heard a dog talk to you in your head?"
<NachtRuine> Toki raises his hand.
<Snowshoe> "Me."
<Bunton> "...huh. I don't suppose he told any of /you/ his name."
<Snowshoe> "I asked, but he said names were... I believe he said "tricky business"."
<FlameShirt> Maon overhears. "Yeah, he sounds like a freak.", he shouts to the group and walks over.
<NachtRuine> "Aye, same."
<Bunton> "He does seem a bit... damaged."
<FlameShirt> "We're not to make Grandfather angry, apparently."
<Bunton> "God, I hope he's not still listening."
<Bunton> "Grandfather?"
<FlameShirt> Maon swipes at his ear. "Fuck off, you twat." He makes an annoyed face at the air.
<FlameShirt> Maon shrugs at Ninny.
<Bunton> "hm. Odd."
<Bunton> "Excuse me a moment. I think I need to reset George."
<Bunton> Ninny dimisses George, and sets about resummoning him.
<Vivax> -----Loading----Loading----George sequence commencing----
<FlameShirt> "Yeah, that's what I thought." Maon looks slightly triumphant.
<Vivax> Right: I'm going to handwave you telling the Captain that the water was stolen by a sea goddess unless you want to have that conversation.
<FlameShirt> Maon sniffs the air. "Smelly fuck."
<Vivax> Gilleas looks hurt emotionally by your words.
<Bunton> Ninny finishes.
<Bunton> "George? You okay, friend?"
<Vivax> (I choose you! George) George appears in a flash of silken tapestries.
<FlameShirt> "No! Not you, man. You smell distinguished." Maon rubs Gilleas's head.
<Vivax> G: "I think so?"
<Gara> After they tell the Captain, Alice begins to head back down below deck.
<Bunton> "What happened to you back there?"
<Gara> She stops to look for fishhooks.
<Vivax> G: "Um...music"
<Bunton> "Music?"
<Vivax> "Yeah. Music."
<Vivax> 1d20
<CROM> Vivax: 16 (1d20=16)
<Vivax> George sings beautifully, "Have you ever heard a digital accordion? A digital accordion? Have you ever heard a digital accordioooooon? A digital acordiooooon? Well if you've never heard a digital accordion...and have only heard an acoustic accordion...Oh dear!"
<Vivax> George shuffles.
<Bunton> :...:
<Bunton> *"..."
<Vivax> G: "And more stuff like that!"
<Gara> Alice takes her newly found fishhooks to where she slept last night. It occurs to her she's going to need to undress to put fishhooks in without hurting herself.
<Vivax> FlameShirt: Gilleas grooms you contentedly.
<Bunton> "Are you... feeling okay?"
<Vivax> G: "I feel /alive/!"
<Bunton> "God, I haven't seen you like this since before Expy started bullying you."
<Bunton> *N:
<FlameShirt> Maon reciprocates the the grooming.
<Snowshoe> Straal heads back belowdecks to her comfortable hole behind some crates.
<Vivax> George beams.
<Vivax> And scene?
<Bunton> Sure.

<Bunton> Yay!
<FlameShirt> Maon is on da ship, looking out to sea.
<Pixeltasim> A short looking humanoid in a white cloak obscuring their face walks up onto the deck

<Gara> Alice is below deck, working on her fish hook clothes.

<Vivax> You are all on shore.
<Vivax> :|
<Vivax> We just went over that earlier.
<Gara> Oh. Well.
<FlameShirt> Maon is now on the shore, because he did that.
<NachtRuine> Toki has examined the land and determined water will be more inland and this shore has bad dirt.
<Vivax> http://www.thetrustees.org/assets/images/prop/cape-cod--the-islands/Photo%20Gallery/I_Wasque_road_TKates.jpg
<Vivax> The sun is bright.
<Pixeltasim> The cloaked figure has actually walked up to the people
<Gara> Then alice is on shore, totally you guys.
<Vivax> The sun is bright and moral is bittersweet.
<NachtRuine> Toki stares inland, to see if anything lies in wait.
<Vivax> The crew eagerly organizes into parties to explore the surrounding wilderness and make camp.
<Pixeltasim> The figure sits down next to the nearest person, completely silently
<Bunton> Ninny is sitting on an extremely placated George.
<Vivax> "Fak that bitch Sea Mother!" you hear a random sailor yell.
<Vivax> You (all of you) are called over to Captain Wyatt.
<Bunton> Ninny rides over.
<Pixeltasim> The figure silently and speedily makes his way over
<NachtRuine> Toki marches over to Wyatt.
<FlameShirt> Maon is yelling at random sailors, helping with the marshalling. "No, you don't put that crate there, fuckknuckle. Over /there/."
<Snowshoe> Straal heads over to Wyatt.
<FlameShirt> Maon notices the Captain and walks over.
<Vivax> "Shat up you git! You dunnae have any authority over me!" The sailors respond in eerie unison at Maon.
<Vivax> Captain Wyatt "As you and everybody else are aware we are running short on water."
<FlameShirt> Maon makes some magical sparks flit about the sailors, dangerously close to their heads.
<Bunton> Ninny looks at Captain Wyatt.
<Bunton> Ninny looks at the sea.
<Vivax> "Because the gods hate us..."
<Bunton> Ninny look sat Captain Wyatt again.
<Bunton> *looks at
<Vivax> "I need every available hand to scout the region, find us some water, some game, hell maybe some less sandy ground to camp on."
<NachtRuine> "This shore ain't been friendly to trees. We'll hafta go deeper inland to get water."
*** Gara [Gara@In.the.house] has quit [Quit: Bye bye]
<Vivax> "I'll be damned if some pagan bitch is going to sink this expedition." Wyatt hears Toki and nods, "Then head inward. Be on your guard"
*** Bunton is now known as Ninny|Bunton
<Vivax> "The quartermaster will provide you with supplies. should you be longer than expected."
<Ninny|Bunton> "She's not "some pagan bitch", you know."
<Pixeltasim> A raspy voice comes from the hooded/cloaked figure "What kind of wildlife have you seen?"
<Ninny|Bunton> "She's /the/ /sea/".
<Vivax> "Irrelevant Ninny. She is not the Sun."
<FlameShirt> "We could set up a still, boil sea water for now?"
<Ninny|Bunton> "Hell, more than one of us are wizards."
<Ninny|Bunton> "Doing that shouldn't be too difficult."
<Vivax> "We have heard strange animal calls, odd bird-song coming from the trees. One of the men claims to have seen a mermaid...I blame his libido"
<Vivax> "More likely there are seals, good eating."
<Ninny|Bunton> "Alright. When would you have us start?"
<Vivax> "We /could/ set up a still. But I don't think we are going to boil enough water to quench 500 people."
<Vivax> "You should get going as soon as possible."
<NachtRuine> "Aye, go while the day is young."
<FlameShirt> "No reason why we couldn't..." Maon shrugs.
<Ninny|Bunton> "I suppose so. But tell me... there aren't any known dangers inland, are there?"
<Vivax> Bunton: Wyatt tosses you a leather bound book. "It's empty. Record your progress in it."
<Vivax> "We don't know. Julien's expertise is limited to the far inland. It is not known what may be out there so be careful"
<Pixeltasim> Out of the cloak suddenly a scaly tail appears, with a nasty looking metal attachment
<Ninny|Bunton> Ninny catches the book, looks at it, and puts it away.
<Pixeltasim> The figure goes and picks up a bundle and straps it to their back
<Vivax> "Right...so keep stuff like that" Wyatt points to Draz's tail, "Handy"
<Ninny|Bunton> Ninny looks round at the figure interestedly.
<NachtRuine> Toki takes two bundles. "If ain't anyone else lookin' to carry, I can take the third."
<FlameShirt> [Oh, hey dude!], Maon says to the figure in Scale-Tongue.
<Pixeltasim> [Good to know I'm not the only thing on this god-forsaken ship that can speak the tongue.]
<FlameShirt> [Heh, just a little bit.]
<Pixeltasim> [Draahzin Nergal, pleased to meet you.]
<FlameShirt> [Maon Taog, Druid-at-large.] Maon beams.
<Ninny|Bunton> "Pass it here, and I can get George to carry it."
<NachtRuine> Toki picks up the last bundle and hands it to Ninny. "Was worried fer a moment I'd have to carry it."
<Pixeltasim> [I'm a monk of the old people. I apologize that I must wear this cloak and hood, but I am very sensitive to the light.]
<Ninny|Bunton> Ninny takes it off him with some effort, then haggardly puts in George's mouth.
<Ninny|Bunton> "Well then. Shall we get going?"
<FlameShirt> [Do whatever you need to, dude. S'all cool here.]
<Pixeltasim> [I appreciate it.]
<Vivax> Yes! You begin to head inland. Are you going up the estuary?
<NachtRuine> "Keep yer weapon handy. Don't know what we're gonna find."
<Ninny|Bunton> Sounds good to me.
<Snowshoe> Would a survival or knowledge nature roll help figure out which direction to go?
<NachtRuine> Same here.
<Vivax> Yes Roll survivals.

<CROM> FlameShirt: Survin': 13 (d20+11=2)
<Vivax> You hike over razor-sharp salt grass under the hot sun, fortunately a stiff breeze keeps this from being unbearable.
*** Ninny|Bunton is now known as Bunton
<Vivax> http://gened.temple.edu/wagner-free-institute-of-science/files/2012/09/photo-1.jpg
<Vivax> You begin to hit more wetlands. If you have navigation or geography or nature give me one of those.

<Vivax> Alright: Those of you who get over a 20 Nature realize that this salt marsh/swamp could go on for miles, if not hundreds of miles.
<Vivax> Nachtruine: You realize that if you are to get out of the swamp you need to find higher ground.
<Snowshoe> Could Straal fly up and look for such ground?
<Vivax> If Toki says something...
<FlameShirt> Maon waves his arms around. "Nah, this ground ain't no good. We need to go somewhere else." Gilleas chitters in agreement.
<NachtRuine> "We gotta get higher. We ain't gonna leave the swamp like this."
<Vivax> There we go! Straal make a perception.
<Vivax> From the SKY!
<NachtRuine> He mumbles, "Hate swamps."
<Snowshoe> d20+10 whee
<CROM> Snowshoe: whee: 15 (d20+10=5)
<Vivax> You see that if you head north from where you are you are going to get caught up in a swamp. But if you head East you can make it into the hills.
<Snowshoe> "There are some hills to the east. Not sure if there's anything else over there, but at least it's not swamp or marsh."
<Bunton> "Well, good enough."
<NachtRuine> "Let's follow, then. To the east!"
<Bunton> Ninny takes this oppurtunity to talk to Draahzin. "You know, I don't think you quite introduced yourself."
<Bunton> While marching onwards, then.
<Vivax> (You can walk and talk)
<NachtRuine> Toki looks to the kobold. "Aye, don't recall seein' ya on th' ship."
<Snowshoe> Straal listens and watches for danger, but doesn't talk.
<FlameShirt> Gilleas runs about, investigating stray rocks. He's turning them over, looking for bugs to eat.
<Pixeltasim> "Draahzin Nergal, travelling monk at your service."
<Bunton> "You're a kobold."
<Bunton> "Huh."
<Pixeltasim> "So you noticed."
<Bunton> "Might I enquire about your lineage?"
<Pixeltasim> "Descended from the great dragon of honor and martial arts Khaazin"
<FlameShirt> Maon cocks his head at Ninny. ~You don't just /ask/ someone about their lineage.~
<Bunton> "Khaazin, you say?"
<Bunton> "Heard of him. Very nice fellow indeed." Ninny offers a claw.
<Vivax> (Bunton is a ratfolk Pix)
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin extends another claw and does the reptile equivalent of a handshake
<Bunton> http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/347/3/2/sketch_for_ratfolk_vivisectionist___pathfinder_by_sylvanochrome-d5nz3...
<Pixeltasim> "May I inquire as to who you are?"
<Bunton> "Ninnec. You might say I'm a wandering trader."
<Bunton> "And this is George."
<NachtRuine> Toki looks about, watching for anything off.
<Bunton> http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/035/b/7/b7a46f9798a2e0b28b623372375a1a29.jpg
<Pixeltasim> "Pleased to make your aquaintance Ninnec and George"
<Bunton> George offers a tentacle.
<Vivax> Alright
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin shakes
<FlameShirt> Gilleas tugs on Draahzin's robes.
<Vivax> Everybody give me an endurance check (1d20+con +4 if you are a ranger or have the feat)
<Snowshoe> d20+3

<FlameShirt> Draahzin sees an ape offering him a half-squashed bug.
<Snowshoe> "There is something... wrong here. I am not sure if it is good or bad, but something is wrong."
<Vivax> For some reason Toki looks tired. Maybe it's his short legs.
<Bunton> Ninny looks down at Toki.
<Bunton> "Hey, want to hop on? It'll give you a chance to rest your legs."
<NachtRuine> Toki is distracted by an unusual rock he's picked up.
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin politely takes the half squashed bug and places it in the recesses of his cloak
<NachtRuine> "Oy, found a piece o' flint. Looks like an arrow head." He says this in between breaths.
<FlameShirt> Gilleas runs off happy.
<Bunton> Pass it up here.
<Bunton> *" "
<NachtRuine> Toki hands it off to Ninny.
<Snowshoe> "I think we may want to be careful. Whoever fired that arrow.... I may have seen them."
<Pixeltasim> Can draahzin roll perception to see if someone is around?
<Vivax> You can roll perceptions to see if there are people about
<Pixeltasim> 1d20+11 is anything unusual?
<CROM> Pixeltasim: is anything unusual?: 20 (1d20+11=9)

<Bunton> Ninny uses detet magic on the flint piece.

<Snowshoe> d20+10 may as well get in on this perception party
<CROM> Snowshoe: may as well get in on this perception party: 14 (d20+10=4)
<Bunton> Ninny puts it away in pack.
<Vivax> Bunton: No magic. Just an arrowhead.
<Bunton> Right-o.
<Bunton> "Right-o. Shall we go on then?"
<Vivax> Pixeltasim: You get this nagging sense that you are being watched but you don't know where it's coming from.
<Pixeltasim> "Hold up a moment, I believe we are not alone."
<Bunton> "Eh?
<Bunton> *"
<Bunton> "Dear. George, have a sniff round."
<FlameShirt> Maon runs in front of the group and holds out his arms.
<Bunton> "See if you can smell anything off."
<FlameShirt> "Eyes, over there." Maon nods towards a treeline.
<Pixeltasim> "I'll go check it out quietly, everyone stay put."
<Vivax> George: "I smell animals! New animals! An' I smell...weird pollen...and sailors..."
<Bunton> "New animals?"
<NachtRuine> Toki nods. He keeps put, readying his greataxe, just in case.
<Vivax> G: "I dunno what they are!"
<Pixeltasim> 1d20+13 Draahzin makes his way toward the treeline silently, doing his best not to be seen
<CROM> Pixeltasim: Draahzin makes his way toward the treeline silently, doing his best not to be seen: 24 (1d20+13=11)
<Bunton> N: "Alright... let me see..."
<Bunton> Ninny uses bond senses to see what he's talking about.
<Bunton> "Heh... heehee... whooo".
<Vivax> If you want to you may attempt to approach where you were being watched from...
<Bunton> "Heheh, whee, whaa... wh... oh. Sorry."
<Vivax> But you all know you have been seen.
<Bunton> "Fish."
<Bunton> "Huh."
<Snowshoe> Straal moves towards the treeline.
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin stays put instead
<NachtRuine> Toki whispers, "Wha's so funny, Ninny?"
<Bunton> "Sorry, just... George's sense of smell does that."
<Bunton> "I had a look in his head to see what he was sensing."
<FlameShirt> "Gilleas, go check it out." Maon points towards the treeline. Gilleas runs towards the forest.
<Bunton> "Fish. There was a distinctive smell of fish."
<FlameShirt> "Sea Mother sent her lizards again?"
<Pixeltasim> "Everyone else hunker down. Be careful and quiet." said quietly, almost a whisper
<Bunton> "I'm not-"
<Bunton> Ninny quitens down.
<FlameShirt> Gilleas stops running towards the trees and lies down, giggling.
<FlameShirt> "Hey dude! Come back here!", yells Maon. Gilleas reluctantly starts heading back.
<Pixeltasim> "I volunteer to try to find out what is, I can get out quickly if things get nasty."
<Vivax> All of you see a flock of crows take to the sky.
<Bunton> "No, no, no. You might still get yourself hurt."
<NachtRuine> "We've already someone headed. She c'n fly."
<FlameShirt> Gilleas rolls around in the grass. He's flipping up rocks and all that, just for the hell of it.
<Bunton> "None of you are expendable."
<Bunton> "George, go have a look."
<Pixeltasim> "Fair enough. But the birds are leaving, that isn't a good sign."
<NachtRuine> "Birds see what we can't." Toki tightens his grip on his greataxe.
<Bunton> "It doesn't mean there's some sort of boogle. Maybe they're just..."
<Bunton> "...uh."
<Bunton> "Maybe some fruit dropped off the trees."
<Bunton> "Really, really loudly."
<FlameShirt> "Going for an evening flit...?"
<Pixeltasim> "The fish leave when there is a shark in the area."
<Bunton> "They also leave when it's mating season."
<Vivax> (Guys it's afternoon)
<FlameShirt> Maon gently wipes at Gilleas. "You idiot", he says laughing.
<Pixeltasim> "We should move as a group, it is likely it won't attack us if we stick together."
<Bunton> "Good idea."
<Snowshoe> Straal emerges from the treeline and heads back towards the group.
<Pixeltasim> "Staying here isn't going to help anything."
<NachtRuine> Toki watches Straal emerging. "What'd ya see?"
<FlameShirt> "I think you're all getting worried over nothing." Maon and Gilleas and mucking about in the grass.
<NachtRuine> "Worried over nothin's better'n dead over somethin'."
<Vivax> George reemerges from a nearby swampy pool with a frog dangling from his mouth, "I found a friend!!!!!"
<Snowshoe> "Not much. Some birds flew off when I entered, found a weird flower I might take a look at later."
<Bunton> "Oh, that's nice."
<NachtRuine> "Nothin' tryin' t' kill us, then?"
<Bunton> "And what's his name?"
<Pixeltasim> "Then we should get moving then."
<Vivax> G:
<Vivax> G" "Shalua Jarquizibrar!"
<FlameShirt> "Tooooold you."
<Bunton> "That's a nice name, George. But we need to get going."
<Bunton> "Give him here, and I'll look after him."
<Vivax> G: "Okay!" he spits the frog into a nearby pool.
<Vivax> "Oops!"
<Vivax> Anyway do you all begin walking toward the hills?
<Bunton> Sure.
<Pixeltasim> Yeah
<NachtRuine> Yes.
<Snowshoe> of course
<FlameShirt> aye aye
<Vivax> Alright! So you hike upwards, away from the estuary.
<Vivax> The trees here are larger and the soil is loamy and nice.
<Vivax> You hear tree frogs croaking in the canopy.

01:53	Vivax	Straal, this reminds you of an ancient Strix burial practice.
01:53	Vivax	Where trees were planted on the graves of fallen heroes.
01:54	NachtRuine	"Wha's this?" Toki remains wary of getting anywhere near that thing.
01:54	Vivax	G: "Bone scent!"
01:54	Snowshoe	"There's an old Strix burial ritual that is carried out when a hero dies. A tree is planted over his corpse. This seems... similar."

01:55	Pixeltasim	"This is very curious."
01:55	Vivax	Bunton: Will save vs fear.

01:56	Bunton	"George, go have a look."
01:56	NachtRuine	"I shall respect the dead. Ain't touchin' a man's grave."
01:57	FlameShirt	"I don't understand. The bones grow into the trees?" Maon is confuzzled.

01:57	Bunton	"Oh. Okay."
01:58	Bunton	"I thought the fear check meant I didn't."
01:58	Bunton	Anyway.
01:59	Bunton	Ninny suddenly realises he's speaking gibberish to himself, and proceeds to crawl out of the crevice, looking visibly disturbed.

<Bunton> "Can you just... hold me for a moment?"
<NachtRuine> "Yer jokin', right?"
<Bunton> "...sure."
<Bunton> "Uh. Yeah. Let's go,"
<Vivax> Alright all of you, now that Straal and Ninny have shown you the truth of the trees keep seeing bones. Bones in the roots, bones sticking out of branches, skulls where knotholes should be, most of them covered by bark or just vague impressions in the shapes of the branches.
<Vivax> You keep hiking upward.
<FlameShirt> "We're walking on a graveyard. I can tell."
<Bunton> "You know, when I was about two, one of my grand-uncles died."
<Bunton> "We were on a camping trip into a different part of the family sewer. One day, he fell in the water and drowned."
<Bunton> "I think it was about three hours before anyone came to help. I didn't know where we were, so I was afraid to leave. Three hours, I sat there, while his dead body floated in the water."
<Bunton> "Might have been more."
<Bunton> "I don't think I like this forest very much."
<Vivax> You all hear the chirping of tree frogs.
<Pixeltasim> "Possibly we should get out of here and find somewhere to camp for the night?"
<NachtRuine> "I ain't fond of forests either, but we gotta find water."
<Bunton> "I think I agree."
<Snowshoe> "I think that dog-thing that talked to us after that incident with the water elementals mentioned this place. Called it the forest of tombs."
<NachtRuine> "Never mentioned anythin' like that to me."
<Bunton> I heard it too.
<Bunton> It's what he called the continent.
<Bunton> *" "
<NachtRuine> "Just told me he was from the new continent, then that he didn't like names, then bam. Gone."
<Bunton> "What was it...?"
<FlameShirt> "Hey, Nature! I forgot to say. The dog said, 'What up, homeslice?' He said you'd know what it means." Maon winks and clicks his tongue at the trees.
<Vivax> The trees do not answer.
<Vivax> The wind whistles ominously.
<FlameShirt> "Fine, be like that."
<Vivax> Your footfalls are quieted by a thick carpet of moss.
<Snowshoe> Straal looks at the tombs. Are they changing, or are they all similar?
<NachtRuine> Toki looks at the moss. He is not fond of moss very much.
<Bunton> Ninny seems lost in thought.
<Vivax> They are similar, all large trees with vague outlines of bodies within. Sometimes there are symbols carved in the trees.
<Snowshoe> Does she recognize those symbols?
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin seems to be muttering something unrecognizable
<Vivax> The are primitive pictographs.
<Vivax> Animals, plants...
<FlameShirt> [Hey, what up?], Maon says to da lizard.
<Vivax> There is no lizard.
<Bunton> "Hm."
<Vivax> You are talking to a mark on a tree.
<Bunton> "Odd."
<FlameShirt> (It was to Draahzin, Viv)
<Pixeltasim> [This is not a good place.]
<Bunton> "There was a name for this place. Why can't I remember the name?"
<NachtRuine> "Hol' up." Toki kneels to look at something on the ground, which is fairly difficult for him. "Prints. Wolf. Ice, somehow."
<FlameShirt> [How so?]
<NachtRuine> Print*
<Vivax> (Oh)
<Bunton> "Wait, what!?"
<Bunton> "Prints!?"
<Bunton> "George!"
<Vivax> G: He sniffs, "Wolf"
<Pixeltasim> [The dead are restless here]
<Vivax> "Cold"
<NachtRuine> "C'mere, look. I ain't got a good feelin' 'bout this forest."
<Bunton> "Guys!"
<FlameShirt> [Eh, they always are.] Maon looks around the forest for wolfs and bad guys.
<Vivax> You also see deer tracks. Lots of them
<Bunton> "I think we should probably get out out of here!"
<Vivax> The wolf may be following the deer...or may have been heading in that general direction. Hard to say.
<NachtRuine> "Quit yer panic, Ninny. Animals know where t' find water."
<Bunton> "Yeah, yeah..."
<Bunton> "Wait..."
<Bunton> "George, can't you smell water when it's near?"
<FlameShirt> "That they do. Herd animals centre around the watering holes. So the predators will too."
<Vivax> G: "Uphill!"
<Bunton> N: "Uphill? What's uphill? Water?"
<Vivax> G:
<Vivax> "Water"
<Vivax> "DEER"
<Vivax> "Water!"
<FlameShirt> "No wolfs?"
<Snowshoe> Straal begins moving uphill, looking for more tracks.
<NachtRuine> "Le's follow the lil' worm's nose."
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin follows
<Vivax> G: "Too much deer...can't tell"
<Bunton> "Alright then. Let's head up hill."
<FlameShirt> Maon and Gilleas go too. "Eh, I'll scare 'em off with fire. Worked for cavemen."
<Bunton> "Cavemen?"
<NachtRuine> "If that don't work, we c'n always have wolf fer dinner."
<Bunton> "You mean like... men who are caves?"
<Bunton> Ninny tilts his head.
<FlameShirt> "No, men who lived in caves. Your great, great, great, great, great..." Maon pauses. "And so ons, grandad."
<Vivax> (Ratfolk evolved in the deserts far inside Sythia. Racist)
<Bunton> "...right. And where you have met these cavemen, then?"
<FlameShirt> "No, but they leave neat drawings."
<Bunton> "...ah."
<Vivax> You get up to the crest of the hill.
<Vivax> The trees thin somwhat up here.
<Vivax> You guys see a herd of deer nibbling on grass shoots in a meadow.
<Bunton> "[Straal. You have the bow.]".
<FlameShirt> "There's the game the Captain asked for."
<Bunton> "[If you would.]"
<Pixeltasim> Draahzin crouches and flicks his tail attachment
<NachtRuine> "This hill shouldn't be flat at the top. Somethin' is off."
<Bunton> Ninny looks about for the water source.
<Pixeltasim> "Possibly we should surround them, make sure the don't escape?"

<FlameShirt> Maon looks to see if there is an isolated one he could approach.
<Vivax> alright
