After
all the damage the Celeste had received in the last session, the crew
started out with a day of mending and fixing. This proved
problematic as repair supplies where in short supply and the lack of
applicable skills amongst the crew, but progress was made. Things
went better the next day, with a few 'mend' spells from Aramil. It
was discovered that the Celeste started taking on a good bit of
water, as her timbers had been savagely worked, with the tormenting
of the spirits. Shiffit was tasked as being the primary bucket
schlep/ bilge pump. Aramil was kind enough to lend his 'bag of
holding', which proved far more effective that the bucket Shiffit was
using. Hesperose had his mind blown with the utter lack of physics
involved. The days went by quickly and some of the party members,
who were in the know, started to really really get worried about the
approaching storm season. Hesperose, the defacto Capitan, asked
Yaher if they were going to make their destination in time. Yaher
said, only with extremely favorable winds, and added that there were
no other safe places to land in time.
An
island was then spotted along there course. Yaher says, “Excellent,
I know just were we are now. Captain go ahead and sail well around
the Island.” Of course that is exactly what does not happen.
After a brief discussion the party chooses to not alter course in the
least, as to save time. Yaher comes unglued, yelling and stopping,
in a most uncharacteristic sort of way. Calling Hesperose an ass-hat
and that he is going to get them all killed and eaten. Clarity and
Yaher enter into a discussion about how delicious Yaher must be.
Zyva flies ahead to the island and sees a largish war party setting
out in canoes, on an intercept course for the Celeste. Zyva (who is
flying around inviable) casts an illusion of a sea monster coming up
out of the see. The canoes quickly turn around and beat it back to
shore. Zyva flies close enough to over hear the islanders. She does
not understand their language but is able to get the gist of what
they are saying, 'row the flip faster, you flipping nugget'.
Realizing that they will very doubtedly make safe harbor before the
storms come, the crew sends Zyva to reconnoiter the island. Zyva
finds out that the islanders are the sort who,(in the best star-fleet
tradition) throw spears and ask questions later. The party chooses
to sail on and brave the storms, rather that play 'try not to get
killed and eaten' on the island.
The next
day a piece of debris is noted, and a slight course correction is
made to investigate. A human female is found on the bit of
floatsome. Zyva flies out to take a look. Turning visible she
introduces herself to the human bobbing along in the water. Belitte(a human female with a high chraisma, very little of it coming from her
personality) looks up and sees a flying, be-scaled fey creature, and
the most unlikely crew aboard a coastal boat. Seeing that these
folks could not possibly be the crew of a boat, Belitte assumes that
the lack of food and being in the sun for so many days has finally
put the zap on her noggin. She then has a good bit of fun chatting
away and letting herself be rescued by the figments of her
imagination, often wondering what part of her mind thought up these
bizarre creatures/personalities, and why are they asking her so many
questions? If they come from her mind shouldn't they already know
the answers to their questions?
The next
day Belitte starts to believe that this is in fact reality, and is
even more perplexed. Yaher continues to inform Hesperose that they
are truly deeply screwed, seeing as how the ship is already leaking,
and the storms are coming and safe landing is still several days
away. Hesperose continues to tell the rest of the party, “every
thing is Fine, no problem, don't worry.' That evening the Seas
change to flat black, and the crew notes that you don't have to be a
oracle to know that is a bad omen. The next morning the the
seas are blue again, but towards evening the storms start up.
Several days of harrowing sailing ensue. Hesperose makes several
sailing rolls which determines how difficult the saving throw is for
the Celeste. The fates are truly on the side of the Celeste and her
crew for she makes every saving throw, some times just matching the
difficulty.
So with
some additional damage, the Celeste reaches her destination. Where
they find not a true harbor but rollers set out on the beach. Yaher
guides the Celeste through the reef and up to the rollers. People on
the beach throw up heavy ropes to the crew of the Celeste who look at
them in askance. Yaher tells them to secure the cables to the
Celeste. The party continues to look at Yaher with blank expressions
and no action. Yaher then directs the crew of the Celeste, with many
comments on their short comings. If Hesperose had not been
completely exhausted, by his days and nights of storm sailing, he
would have then realized why Yaher hired his boat. A full size blue
water ship would not have been able to use the rollers to be pulled
out of the sea and been safe from the stromy weather coming.
