The Daggerwake

Con checks to swim..1d20 equal to or less than Con. You may add Con bonus to your Con attribute for this check.

Great! You didn't lose your equipment in the turbulence! Damned fine roll sir!

You keep your equipment and make it to the bottom as well.

Actally, since there are no rules for swimming, I assessed the situation and decided that Con would be the deciding factor. Rolling under you Con means the modifier is added to your base Con. In this case: Con 13 +1 = 14. The target number is now 14 or less instead of 13 or less. Either way, you're good!

Well, the funnel would put you a few miles out where you would need to be, and carry you to the bottom faster. Or you could have started from the shore and spent more time and resources to get to the same place. Also you avoid the loss of memory so close to the reef.

Just to be clear, I am waiting on Keldran. In about 8 hours I'll move the story forward

You will travel for three days to find the Kelp Forest. Each Day I will roll the following:
1. Aquatic Environment changes
2. Look Out for dangers ahead
3. Guide, to keep from getting lost.
4. Forager if you need to forage for food.
5. Supply to keep track of supply. This is more of an update.


Each day you move into a new area and you get to explore the area.
I will also make an Exploration check and Travel Event check.

The end of day you must rest.

You may explore the tower and camp here.

The Party goes First

ROUND 1

Mole
Biscuit
Varos

Driftkin


When the party of adventurers comes into contact with enemies, the order of events is as follows:

1. Check for Surprise: The Referee determines if a surprise roll is required, and if so, both sides roll to see if they are surprised by the sudden encounter. (None required at this time.)

2. Declare Spells: This is not an option for a group that was surprised; they have to wait until the beginning of the next round.
(Declare your spells at this time if any.)

3. Determine Initiative: Each side rolls a d6 and the side with the highest result is the winner. One roll is made for each side, not for each individual. If this is the first round and one group was surprised, the other side gets to go first automatically, without
having to roll a die. (Naturally there is no surprise round at this time. You won initiative.)

4. Movement and Missile Fire: Each combatant on the side that won initiative may move, OR may fire any missile weapons. Then the losers of the initiative roll may move or fire missile weapons.

5. Melee Combat and Spells: Each combatant on the side that won initiative makes any melee attacks (if in melee range) or casts spells. Spells take effect immediately. Spells cannot be cast if the caster is in melee combat with enemies. Losers of the initiative then make their attacks and cast spells.

6. The round is complete. Go back to STEP 2 (Declare Spells) and repeat the process until the combat is finished.

Miss. One Driftkin left, Initiative.
Well! The beast fights on. Going to roll attack on Biscuit. If you roll a 6 on initiative, it all happens simultaneously.

Miss!

(Coffin locker - a bed whose top acts as a lid for a box, often like a large drawer or chest beneath it. this one is 6 foot long by three feet wide, by a foot and a half deep.)

You will need a 40% or lower to pick the lock the first time. This is equal to 10 min. aka 1 Turn.

Success

did you want to search below decks?

You have some choices.
Since the side of the ship is staved in, you can see that there is a level below the top deck in three parts. I'm not claiming to be a cartographer, but you get the idea. You have ransacked the Captain's Quarters.

Guess it's time to kick the door in! Open Doors check (STR) 1D6

Success!

Sounds great what do you do first. You can exit the ship through any of the portals in the First Mates room. The windows are shuttered and open out to the aft end of the ship.

Mole finds that the portals are easy enough to crawl out of as long as you don't have a backpack on.

The manta's both speak some strange language to each other. If you haven't picked your languages yet, you could add Infernal to your list. The Rays are circling the ship, you may hide among some debris and seaweeds.

If it makes sense, then let's do it. You can backstab from hiding, no problem. Just make a Move Silently check. Roll with a 30% bonus to your target number (25 becomes 55) due to watery environment and your ability to hide.

Yes you can shoot. I apologize for my absence, I had the flu and well...thanksgiving.

Thank you friend, I feel better. Now, what will you do with these audacious ones who come for your life?

Awesome. Mole gets a surprise round in.

At the beginning of a combat round, each side rolls a d6 for "initiative" — the opportunity to act first. The side with the highest roll wins, and that group acts first. The PCs have a 6 already. A tie goes to the PCs.

Biscuit and Mole still get their normal action this round. Ray armor class is 6.

One item for each of you. That's three items in all.

Yes, only Varos hears Mother Hush.

So, this is your chance to get an item that you feel would help you the most. It can be your preferred weapon, a ring, armor, helm, etc. Decide what your character would want if they were to continue on to confront this "Ichor".

You can take a rest here, or you can move on towards the Rift.
