Zeoll ponders the many ways to cook fish. He starts to get hungry. "Did we brring any food? he asks.
"Forr the kids, I mean."
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Tuesday September 11th, 2012 5:51:35 PM

Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Tuesday September 11th, 2012 8:01:37 PM Enough food to feed a small army? Isn't that just three days field rations for an average taur?
Actions? -- Jim C Tuesday September 11th, 2012 8:19:05 PM
So it's dark and the moons are casting their baleful light across the atoll. Will you hazard the cold dark waters of the lagoon, or camp out till morning. I think you know what Toby wants :)
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Tuesday September 11th, 2012 9:35:25 PM
Restlin still wants to know if the tide is in or out. There's no sense braving those waters if it will be easier when the sun's up anyway.
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Tuesday September 11th, 2012 10:01:10 PM
Bosk makes sure the group belongings are picked up before heading down towards the cold waters. I don't think we have any choice but to keep moving. We need to make sure Toby is rescued before the boat returns, and we have no way of knowing if the tunnel will flood. With that Bosk picks up his bag and moves slowly down to the water's edge, moving slowly as he gets used to the darkness around him.
As he walks he says a out loud, Any idea how long these potions last? I would hate to swim into the tunnel only to have the potion wear off and find us all trapped. Hopefully once we find the tunnel we will be able to easily swim from the opening to the surface without magical aid.

As for the potions, I'm not sure at all, but I have trained in swimming. I'd be foolish to be shipboard and unable to. I may have grown up on land, but I can still remember drifting at sea on the aft bulkhead until I was rescued."

"Fine," Restlin mutters. "I'll go look for myself to see if the tide's in."
With that, the wizard makes his way towards the ocean to see if he can tell.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday September 12th, 2012 11:50:26 PM Well, my light should work under water since it's not fire based.
Tide and light -- Jim C Thursday September 13th, 2012 12:12:43 PM
The tide is in fact, in. The small source of light that you have is sufficient to not run into something, but gives you very little in visual range compared to some before that could actually see in the dark.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Thursday September 13th, 2012 1:26:48 PM
Restlin heads back. "Well, the tide's in. I intend to wait until it goes back out to start exploring flooded under-water caverns. We should get some rest. Maybe Zeoll can sing that darn Toby a song or two to calm him down..."
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Thursday September 13th, 2012 5:59:13 PM
The cleric frowns at the suggestion of resting. I think we should at least try to locate the enterance and see if we can get some food down to the kids. Zeoll, can you speak to animals? If I were to summon a dolphin could you explain to it that we are looking for an underwater cave and tell him jump in the air above the entrance?
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Thursday September 13th, 2012 7:12:49 PM

At mention of the cave entrance something clicks in his mind and Beri calls down How big is the entrance to the cave? We want to make sure the people we send down can fit through to help you out.
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Saturday September 15th, 2012 3:29:04 PM
Bosk pulls a couple magic candles out of his bag. It sounds likegood we cannot leave the kids to morning, nor would I have felt right doing so.
Once lit these candles can only be put put by magic. They should burn under water, that will at least help us keep an eye on eachother. Turning to Zeoll he asks if the liontaur could divine the caves entrance, try teleporting as he mentioned earlier, or if hethe could speak to a summoned creature that could locate the opening and signal the group.
Hypothermia -- Jim C Sunday September 16th, 2012 12:49:04 AM "It's pretty big, I think, I saw the big goldfish swim out of here and it's about 20' long, maybe 30'."
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d10=1 ; Sunday September 16th, 2012 9:40:25 AM
Zeoll ponders and then agrees -- IF the group will cover the costs ... because it will probably cost 500 gp or more in coin or items.
If enough people kick in cash or goods, Zeoll spends ten minutes calling in a request for help. He is seeking a friend of the Fey King, a creature, likely a fey, but you never know who the fey king will send to answer the call. [OOC: Casting Lesser Planar Ally, to bring "an outsider (of 6 HD or less) of the deity's choice."]
There is an initial offering required of 500 gp -- no avoiding that. Then there is a fee ... "A task taking up to 1 minute per caster level requires a payment of 100 gp per HD of the creature called. For a task taking up to 1 hour per caster level, the creature requires a payment of 500 gp per HD. A long-term task, one requiring up to 1 day per caster level, requires a payment of 1,000 gp per HD." Because Zeoll is a Cradled Lorist, this fee is reduced by d10x500, or 500 gp (rolled a 1).
Zeoll wonders who the Fey King will send, and if they will be helpful.

Bosk waits, curious to see what type of fey creature might be summoned. Although he has not had the chance to use his Fast Forge feat, he knows it too is capable of summoning a fey, although he has no idea what such an encounter might actually entail.
Croff -- Jim C Tuesday September 18th, 2012 4:09:30 AM
With a flourish of wind and the sucking sound of mud, a lonely croak comes from a frog at Zeoll's feet. It speaks in a strange accent, "Pay up buddy, or I'll have to break your legs, see?"
Below the waves Zane searches in earnest for the cave entry, but with so little light, it makes for a near impossible task on his own.
Please make a perception roll once a day in each of your posts if you're continuing to search.

Zeoll makes a Knowledge check to identify the frog creature. The bare bones d20 roll is an 8. If it is Fey, that's a 24. If Magical Beast, a 22. If an Elemental of some sort, a 21.
Either way, Zeoll bows. "Noble one, thank you forr answerring the call. I would be glad to pay you fairrly and well forr yourr help, of courrse, as soon as you tell me yourr prrice. Please considerr how much you deserrve for a shorrt favorr, lasting not morre than some minutes, or a longerr one, lasting perrhaps hourrs. And please keep in mind that I ask forr yourr help in the name of the Fae King, who has blessed me with yourr prresence."
Zeoll tries to get a sense for the creature's mental capability. If necessary, he'll clarify, adding ... "Which is to say, of courrse, I'll pay. How much, in the name of the King?"
Sense Motive 25, 27 if fey. Diplomacy 35, 37 if fey.
Once payment is figured out and paid, Zeoll explains the situation: two children trapped in an underwater cave. One unconscious, both exposed to the deprivations of the elements and lack of food, and water. A small hole above ground, an unknown undersea cave below water. The special 20 ft long goldfish that must not be damaged, that brought the kids to the cave by swallowing them and then disgorging them.
"Please, we need yourr help to rrecoverr the kids beforre they die down therre."
Dave F posting for Zane d20+11=12 ; Tuesday September 18th, 2012 4:57:52 PM
perception 12 Zane keeps swimming and searching for the entrance, something a 20' long fish could use shouldn't be too hard to find if he keeps following the shoreline underwater, unless of course the entrance is further out. Once he has checked along the shore he will try further out.

Below the waves Zane spies something looming in the darkness. His reflexes are on edge as the prow of a fishing ship comes into view. It's hull has been breached and there are no signs of the former crew, but still, the crabs and other small fish occupying the derelict ship brings to mind a feast of flesh for the underwater denizens.

Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d20+16=31 ; Wednesday September 19th, 2012 11:55:43 AM
Zeoll laughs. "My frriend, that's a deal! But you can eitherr take gold or magic items now, and trrade them forr yourr fancy trreats back in the Crradle of the Wold, or you can wait forr me to get back to the big city so I can rrustle up exactly what you rrequest!"
If that's okay with the talking frog, Zeoll explains the situation: two children trapped in an underwater cave. One unconscious, both exposed to the deprivations of the elements and lack of food, and water. A small hole above ground, an unknown undersea cave below water. The special 20 ft long goldfish that must not be damaged, that brought the kids to the cave by swallowing them and then disgorging them.
"Please, we need yourr help to rrecoverr the kids beforre they die down therre."
As he explains, Zeoll takes a good look around. Perception 31 woot!

"If I may ask yourr name, I can summon you again when I have the chocolate grrasshopperrs rready."
"I'm Zeoll, a Crradled Lorrist. And a Seerr. I am verry pleased to meet you!"
Croff and Zane -- Jim C Thursday September 20th, 2012 7:34:20 PM "Gold? Whats I need with gold? Do I look like a dwarf?" With his profound sense of perception, Zeoll can see the frog looking for something to eat with one eye, while the other stays trained on him. "Alright, here's what I'm willing to do. I'll give ya three days to pay up, but it's an extra 100 grasshoppers--interest on the loan I'm givin' ya, see? And the name is, Croff. Now, I'll go find these kids of yours and be right back."
With a mighty leap the green frog jumps into the lagoon and is gone from sight. Well below, Zane continues to search and finds a dinghy broken in two. Just then he feels something looking near him and in the faint shadows of light that play off the coral a huge grouper comes into view. It's about half the size of Zane, but a good 400 pound fish which would make any fisherman proud to catch. But as soon as it appears, there is a turbulent sucking sound and the grouper is pulled back and gone. In that moment, Zane thinks he see's the shimmer of golden scales in the distance, but as soon as it appeared, it was gone. His attention elsewhere, he barely notices a small green frog give out a croak, and then head into the shadows of the lagoon's coral walls.

When the frog jumps out of the water onto the shore, he says as he's trying to catch his breath, "Found them. Follow me, but be on the lookout for that big fish." The frog waits for the group to follow.

"Agreed. Hey, remember how we almost died last time we went swimming? I need to invest in some lessons next time I'm at the WLA if we're going to make this a thing."
Restlin quaffs his water breathing potion and slowly heads into the water. He inhales sharply as the cold water hits his more...sensitive areas.

Once he finds the children, he'll look over the girl as best he can.

Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Tuesday September 25th, 2012 7:09:16 PM
Bosk downs the water breathing potion and follows the others into the water, always fighting the urge to swim with a sword in one hand, conscious of the groups promise not to harm the gold fish. As he swims he does his best to estimate how far down they swim and to remember how high the ground rises above them should they need to dig their way out or magically depart if the children are poor condition.

The Cave -- Jim C Wednesday September 26th, 2012 1:36:36 PM
All assembled, the group follows Croff down into the dark depths of the lagoon and shortly come upon the cave mouth. Something stirs inside, but after a moment of worry, the group see's it's the fleeting rear view of Zane's behind as he enters the cave itself.
Inside, through a wide passage way circular in size--more than likely a nother lava tube, the group emerges into a larger cave that has a sizeable airpocket in it. Here they find Zane already scanning the area. There is no sign of the boy and girl, but there is a small beach where numerous ssmall footprints are seen.
Just as everyone gets ready to call out, a young boy of ten years comes out of the shadows of a coral outcropping and says, "It's about time!" His hands on his hips as he defiantly stands there and continues, "Rachel and I have been waiting for days with nothing to eat or drink for you to laggarts to come rescue us. Well? Rescue us!"

Bosk tries to ignore the kids demanding attitude. First thing first, are there any dangers in this tunnel that we should know about? If not, can you lead me to the girl you said you cannot get to wake up? Once I have made sure she is OK I will get fix you guys a proper a meal and make sure you have enough strength and energy before we proceed.
If the girl is injured Bosk will cast CLW as necessary to heal her. He will then give the kids food and water from his pack.

Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday September 26th, 2012 11:56:28 PM First thing we should do is wake the girl up and give the kids some food. If there was danger here the kids would already have found it, and even if there was danger the kids are better able to stay safe if they have full bellies and are conscious.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Thursday September 27th, 2012 12:45:09 AM
Zane glares at Toby, he's positive this is the same brat that yanked fur off him a few days ago. He lets the others deal with the children, he's rather read Toby the riot act for doing something as foolish as coming out here and dragging the little girl with him to boot.

Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 36/62 Thursday September 27th, 2012 8:42:48 PM
Wyaar goes to check on the children as well. He'll lay on hands on both of them as well to both heal and remove sickened and staggered in the event that they had those conditions.
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Friday September 28th, 2012 3:45:52 PM
Zeoll looks up at the ceiling of the cave. How high is it? He also wonders if it is man-made, man-improved, or entirely natural.
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Friday September 28th, 2012 4:04:40 PM
Bosk pulls out a couple taur sized rations and a barrel of water to feed the children and any hungry group members. The cleric himself drinks an ice cold ale from gis enchanted goblet, but does not eat anything.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Friday September 28th, 2012 9:23:43 PM
Seeing nothing, Restlin heads over and takes Bosk's offer of food. "How's the girl, Wyaar? Is she really in trouble, or was this hooligan just trying to get us down here faster?"
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Friday September 28th, 2012 9:58:42 PM Don't forget I have smelling salts, lets try that before using magic.
The Cave -- Jim C Sunday September 30th, 2012 3:14:12 PM
Rachel is found curled up behind a coral outcropping, looking a bit light blue. It is only because of the groups assistance that she doesn't die and in fact recovers remarkably. Rachel offers her gratitude sincerely as she says, "I thank you for your help, I'm not sure what would have haven't if you had not come and rescued us as you did."
The cave is circular in formation, naturally made as all lava tubes are and is approximately 15' in diameter. Those with some knowledge with nature and geology, would know that this tube is probably a decade or more old based on the amount of growth inside the tube.

Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells d20+7=23 ; d20=4 ; Monday October 1st, 2012 11:16:57 AM
Bosk breaths a sigh of relief when he sees the girl is alright. After giving her something to eat he looks around the cave, doing his best to determine if there is much risk of it flooding. He also tries his best to determine how deep the cave goes and asks the children what, if anything they have discovered while down there. We plan to get you out of here, but we need to know everything you can tell us about how you got here. How did you end up in the fishes mouth, and do you have any idea why it brought you here? We also need to know if you know anything about a dragon that resides on this island.
Suddenly remembering Restlin's strange behavior earlier, the cleric wheels around and looks for the wound wizard and checks to make sure he hasn't wandered off looking for the overgrown fish.
Perception to check cave = 23 Perception on Restlin = 11
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Monday October 1st, 2012 1:41:41 PM
Restlin has not, in fact, gone off wandering in search of fish. He is still happily eating the food Bosk provided.
"Miss, after dealing with your friend here, your manners are quite welcome. If you have a thing for this lout, I suggest you get over it and find yourself a nice merchant's or wizard's son to shack up with." He chews down some more of whatever it is Bosk brought along. "If you could tell me about this fish, I'd be very appreciative."
The wizard takes a moment when he's able to prestidigitize everyone dry, murmuring about wet taur fur and hypothermia all the while.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Monday October 1st, 2012 6:08:16 PM "I think we should head on out of here, we got enough potion for the kids? Or do we have other options, or wait until morning?"

Beriothian carefully examines the cave for anything out of the ordinary.
Perception = 28 (32 for traps)
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 1:30:23 AM
Zeoll is eager to take the kids home and be gone. Let them drink some potion and then it will be time to go.
Waiting overnight is a really bad idea because then the potions they have already drunk will expire. Worst case scenario, we'll all be stuck down here waiting for the next rescue mission!
Honestly, Zeoll sees no reason to wait for the traitorous ship captain to return either. He says he thinks we should get out of here, pop out the swan boat, and sail to meet the ship before the dragon knows we are gone.
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 36/62 Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 7:51:43 AM
"I agree with Zeoll.. We need to get back before our potions run out."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) d20=20 Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 9:00:55 AM
"We can get out of this cave, but I still have work to do before we leave," says the wizard. "Well, at least before *I* leave. I may need to stay here and ask you fine folks to bring some things back to me so I can fulfill my end of the deal I made with that dragon."
Finished with his meal, the wizard rises, stretches, and pats his fully belly. "Good food, Mr. Bosk. My thanks. Back to the business at hand, me getting on a boat with you guys and trying to get off this island would get us all killed. I assure you that dragon's watching us carefully..."
Finished with what he has to say, Restlin takes some time searching through the cave. Surely someone else was washed in here before. Maybe they left something behind...
Perception = 22 - a natural 20!
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 9:37:48 AM
"Okay, what things, my old frriend? We can help you get out of this mess."
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 9:40:24 AM
ooc: Can you tell us how far we would need to swim to make it from the cave to the surface? Would we need a potion of water breathing to help us get to the surface safely.
Bosk shakes his head. I don't know what potion you are expecting the children to drink, we had one potion apiece, and we each drank one to get down here. Unless we can swim to the surface while holding our breaths, then we will have to think of something else to do to help the kids....
Wait, I think I have just the thing. Bosk digs around in his bag and pulls out two golden foil wrapped balls. I won these at the Giggling Ghost and was saving them in case we were ever stuck in another tsunami. They each have the ability to cast water breathing on someone. This can help us to get the kids out of here, but I think we should help Restlin find what he is looking for before we leave.
Turning to the wizard he asks, Is there anything we can do to help? Are you looking for something mundane or magic? I may have some spells that could aid you, and I have scrolls with the detect magic cantrip.
Looking down at the golden balls and thinking of the spells and scrolls used to cure the group Bosk is beginning to realize that he is losing money on this adventure, but he reminds himself that this was done to save a couple of children and not to make money. There would be much dishonor in letting a couple man-cubs die for want of gold, and he already had the blood of child one his hands...Curse the Temple of the Illithad.
Perception Check from previous post to check cave = 23
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Tuesday October 2nd, 2012 8:53:14 PM Yes, that sounds like just the thing. By the way kids, before we leave did you happen no notice anything out of the ordinary down here?
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 8:19:33 AM
"I'll need scrolls for greater dispel magic," Restlin starts. "That's probably not something we have on us."
He stops searching for a moment to turn back to the group. "Let's make sure there's nothing useful down here, then start getting out of this cave. Just because I can't leave the atoll yet doesn't mean we have to hang out in a dank underwater cavern."
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d20+15=32 ; Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 9:58:14 AM
Zeoll takes one last look around, wondering if Restlin is hinting at something. Perception 32. That should do it!
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 10:15:27 AM Greater Dispell Magic??? The cleric's mind races as to why Restlin would need such a spell, and more importantly what to do about it. As far as he knows there is no group member able to cast such a spell, which means Restlin might be camping out for a while.
The Cave -- Jim C Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 12:36:44 PM Sorry for the delay, work is hampering my gametime, but I should be on track this week.
Searching the cave proves to bear no fruit as it's little more than sand, coral and stone. If there was loot to be found, it may be on the ship Zane saw earlier--but that also seems to be prime Goldfish hunting grounds.
Checking the expiration date on the golden foil wrapped balls Bosk has, he see's they have none, so they should work. With those and the existing potion effects, the group should be able to make it to the surface and onto dry, windy land without a problem.
Let me know if that's what you want to do.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 12:47:23 PM
Restlin thinks for a moment before walking over to Rachael. "Ok sweetheart, important question time. Does that goldfish come in this cave? Does this seem to be a...lair of sorts for it?"
If it is, Restlin may as well stick around to investigate it when it arrives. He'll just stay the heck away from the water.
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 12:50:44 PM
Zeoll thinks we have exhausted this cave, and he is eager to get up into fresh air.
"Rrestlin, we need a little morre detail so that we can figurre out what you need, and then get the heck out of herre."
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 4:04:38 PM "We should be careful when we exit. I believe I saw your Goldfish hunting a ship that wrecked out in the cove, it inhaled a really big fish as I was considering on how to catch it for dinner. I suggest we stay close to the edge as we surface."
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 4:19:15 PM
Bosk remains perplexed by Restlin's comments and actions and decides to cast detect magic to see if there is anything unusual in the cave.
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 36/62 Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 8:59:22 PM
Wyaar agrees with Zane about the trip to the surface. They're not to harm the goldfish, but it could easily eat them without a problem.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday October 3rd, 2012 10:09:58 PM I say we get these children to shore first, then worry about the goldfish.
The Beach -- Jim C Thursday October 4th, 2012 8:20:07 PM
Using his golden foil balls, Bosk, the kids, and the rest make for the surface and successfully do so. Wet and very cold due to the blowing winds, someone better come up with a plan fast, or the elements may claim a few.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Thursday October 4th, 2012 11:06:35 PM

Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Friday October 5th, 2012 12:25:47 AM
Zane, starting with the girl first, uses Prestidigitation to dry her off, then will move to Toby, then himself, unless others help out, then it'll be time for a nice warm campfire... he hopes.....
Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Friday October 5th, 2012 6:23:47 AM
Zeoll asks the froggy fey if he has anything to help keep the kids warm and dry. Because Zeoll's got nothing.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 50/50 (Spells) Friday October 5th, 2012 8:44:51 AM
Restlin helps Zane prestidigitize everyone dry, then speaks up. "Get some firewood & kindling together. If it's too windy for a spark to work, I've got something better..."
If needed, Restlin will cast burning hands to get a fire going. "No rope trick, I'm afraid. I used my bonded item to attack that dragon with my straight razor. Say, did anyone manage to pick that thing up? I dare say I'm starting to look grizzled out here..."
Croff -- Jim C Friday October 5th, 2012 11:43:27 AM
The frog checks under his arms and says, "Does it look like I'm carryin' anything that can help in this situation? Anyways, the deals done, don't forget ya got 3 days to make payment." With a croak, the fey frog fades away.
There is nothing resembling firewood in the lagoon of his desolate atoll. However, some do notice a ship heading towards the atoll--their lanterns blazing a trail of light in front of them.
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 36/62 Friday October 5th, 2012 6:48:31 PM
"[b]At least they are dry. Keep them between you Zane and Bosk. You should block the worst of the wind." Wyaar will also take off his cloak and wrap it around one of the children to warmth.
Bosk AC: 29/14/26 CMD:23 HP 29 of 64 Spells Saturday October 6th, 2012 12:25:54 AM
With the children dry Bosk reaches into his bag of holdings and removes his bedroll and a large, taur sized winter blanket as well as some dry cold weather clothing for himself. This should help to keep us a bit warmer. I might be able to do something to generate a bit more warmth for us as well. The cleric once again reaches into his bag and pulls out a large, taur sized anvil that he uses for his crafting projects while on the road. Unrolling a piece of vellum with Rose's Temperature Control inscribed upon it he begins reciting the incantation and causes the anvil to heat up like a furnace or his own portable forge. Although it is not hot enough to melt the metal, it should radiate enough heat to keep the group warm and even to cook a meal upon if necessary. There, that should do quite nicely. Now, can any of you make anything out on that ship. I am still having difficulties getting my eyes to adjust to the darkness. I guess you don't truly appreciate the gift of being able to see in the dark until you lose it.

Beriothian transforms his pants-o-pleanty into something warmer, then pulls out his cold weather clothes, bedroll, and his tent that he will let the kids sleep in.
That ship off in the distance? It's lit up by lanterns. Let me tell you what I can make out... Beriothian relates to the group what he can see regarding the ship in the distance.
Perception (ship) = 34 (38 for traps)
Toasty -- Jim C Sunday October 7th, 2012 9:33:36 PM
With Bosk's ingenious use of his anvil and the rest pulling out their cold weather gear and such, the camp becomes quite hospitable.
The ship off in the distance continues to approach in a straight line and seems to be heading for a very narrow passage through the rim of the atoll to pass into the lagoon itself. It should arrive in several minutes.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Monday October 8th, 2012 12:40:49 AM

Zeoll (HP47 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d20+15=27 ; Monday October 8th, 2012 8:44:38 AM
Zeoll says farewell to his summoned friend. "I will call you, Crroff, to give you the trreats you have earrned, with my thanks!"
He is glad to see the ship. He says to Restlin, "We need to get these kids onto the ship. Arre we frree to leave, my frriend, or do you still have yet to fully discharrge yourr obligation to the drragon?"
He looks around at the location in the dawn's light: 27.

The wizard frowns. "My concerns is we're dealing with more goldfish hunters here.That dragon may very well be able to handle them, but I'd rather not see that ship and it's crew killed if we can help it." He turns to Zeoll, "We need to either get out there to warn them or at least be there when they make land. Let's deal with this ship, then worry about the goldfish.

Seeing the ship approach realizes that a second battle might be near at hand. Grasping his holy symbol he begins to pray and is glad to find that Gargul's gifts still grant him the ability to convert his prepared spells into healing spells at will. Quickly the cleric heals everyone up to full health, an easy task as Zeoll took care of the worst of the damage after the fight with the dragon. It will take the group a few days to fully replenish the charges from staves.

It would probably be easier and safer to get them to turn around before they get to shore, and I would hope that the knowledge of a fire breathing dragon would be enough to convince them to turn back.
Turning to Restlin he adds, I still don't know what it is you are trying to to do or are looking for, but would a locate object spell be of any use to you?
The Sea Nymph -- Jim C Tuesday October 9th, 2012 2:11:28 AM
Dropping it's sails and drifting in, the Sea Nymph deftly manuevers the coral beds and enters the center of the lagoon where it drops anchor and wheels about. The crew seems to notice you, but take no heed as they begin to run out their fishing lines--which have large hooks and bait, looking to catch something very big.
The ship is approximately 250' from your camp/shore.

OOC: Ugh, I am an idiot! Kindly DM Jim, please do allow me to update my data for the fact that it is a new day!
Zeoll casts his Lily Pad Stride spell, his Heroism spell, and his Honeyed Tongue spell. He tells his friends that they can follow id they like, but be careful not to break the lily pads (DC10 Acrobatics, see link below). Then he walks out to meet the ship.
"Hello! Good Sailorrs! Please let me talk with you!"
He gets within shouting distance (100 ft) and shouts that they are in great danger! A dragon guards this island, and he protects the giant goldfish. They need to stop fishing now for fear of their lives!
Diplomacy check, rolled twice per Honeyed Tongue spell, use the best check: Oh, no need to roll twice! I got a nat 20. Diplomacy 42!
Then he mentions that he has two small children here who need to get back to civilization. Can they please take these kids back, and of course he will pay for their passage!
Diplomacy check: a 41 this time.

Restlin smiles at Bosk's offer. "I'm afraid not, but thanks for offering. All I'm trying to do right now is get that ship out of here, hopefully with the children and without a dragon sinking it. Once we deal with it, I just need to get a chance to inspect that fish. I don't know how I'm going to do that. Even if I still had water breathing potions I'm not at home down there. That fish would likely just eat me."
(DM Jim, is it the next day? Has Restlin had chance to prep new spells?)
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Tuesday October 9th, 2012 1:40:22 PM "Heading out there to meet that ship is gonna get messy. I told you there's a ship wreck in that bay. By approaching them, you give them a target if they are so inclined. If they are out for revenge, trying to warn them off won't work either."
Zane already knows it's too late to stop Zeoll, but maybe not too late to protect the rest.....

The cleric looks annoyed at the ships presence. It seems clear that they are here to catch the goldfish. If we don't try to do something then we risk angering the dragon. He could come after us for harming the fish through our inaction, and at the very least we have to expect that he will attack the fishermen on that boat in which case their blood would be on our hands for not attempting to warn them. I don't think there is any way to maintain our honor by standing here. I will go with Zeoll to warn them, and if the worst should happen I will do my best to get us back to safety quickly.
Acrobatics to cross the lily pads = 30
ooc: If a fight breaks out I will use dimension door to bring Zeoll and I back as close to shore are possible. Since he is large sized we likely won't make it all the way back to shore.
Time of Day -- Jim C Tuesday October 9th, 2012 7:24:22 PM
It is very late at night, maybe 1am. So it is not the next day in the context of renewing spells,etc... that is still hours away, so you may want to redo your posts.

ooc: can we keep the nat 20 for diplomacy?
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Tuesday October 9th, 2012 9:46:50 PM
Redo and Redux:
Zeoll uses his uncast Dimension Door spell spell to get onto the boat. He takes with him the first non-Taur who says he wants to go. On board the ship, he tries to convince the fishers to stop hunting the goldfish, for the sake of their lives. Diplomacy 40 without the heroism.
Then he asks them to take the children away from this dangerous place, for a fee to be negotiated. Diplomacy 39.

The song "Never split up the party" runs through Bosks mind as Zeoll prepares to leave. Wait one minute. The cleric ties a white hankercheif to his expandaple rod as a small flag. Do you have a way to get back if things turn bad? If not, this may help them see we come in peace. Drop the flag or extend the rod 39.5ft and we will know things turned bad. If that happens I will use dimensional door to join you, either to help fight or I can pick you up and fly you all back to shore.
If Zeoll agrees and wants Bosk's help he will cast Ant Haul on himself from a scroll and fly from his prepared domain spells.

"Surre, grreat idea. Though they just look like simple fishers to me."

The taur grins, And what about this job has been as easy as it appeared?

Restlin has the most at stake here, so he volunteers to head to the ship with Zeoll.

Wayward as about o offer to accompany Zeoll, but Restlin beats him to it. I s He'll keep an eye out instead. (Perception 13

As the men fish the blond taur realizes that there is a chance of the fishers hooking the fish before they can be stopped. Turning to the young rogue Bosk, his brother from another mother, and raises an eyebrow. Do you still have your "Wonder Twin Ring" handy? I don't know what Restlin is trying to accomplish, but if Goldie shows up I am thinking we may need to turn into something a little more amphibious in order to cut the lines or free ti from a net. Restlin, would that interfere with your mission, or would a close up look help you in your quest? If the fish needs freeing, I can't be blamed if it takes me longer than expected to cut the lines. Bosk gives a quick wink to show the wizard he trusts his judgement, and will not question his decision or ask for details or justification.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 43/63 Wednesday October 10th, 2012 7:57:35 PM
Standing near the camp, Zane reaches back, pulls out his personal bow and readies an arrow, hoping beyond hope that he won't need it.
readied action, shoot arrow if friends are attacked.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday October 10th, 2012 8:24:18 PM Of course I still have my ring, though we are probably better off teleporting over as planned and just pushing the guy with the pole into the water. Otherwise we will have two in the water, two on the boat, and two stranded on shore... not a smart situation if you are about to infuriate an entire ship freeing their trophy.
