Chat Log List - 2023 09 22 - Rum Runner - Formatted - Story
Vee Barlett: If we want to catch up, we need to leave soon.
Vee Barlett: Capt'n, you got wax or we need to grab some?.
Captain Ciannait Flame: Why would you need wax?
Vee Barlett: Siren's Call? What do you normally do to protect against sirens?
Levi Reed: And probably there's other stuff that's not real pleasant to listen to
Levi Reed: Like Jericho
Vee Barlett: No comment.
BOB You can follow Jericho out of the Cathedral after he was Geased, and he is bemused and not talking to tell the others what happend (as Lemon and Carissa know from the previous chat)
Captain Ciannait Flame: You do not go there, that is how you protect against it
Captain Ciannait Flame: Why in the world would you think I will take you there?
Ava Bosley: Hello everyone. I'm- I mean, we are back
Captain Ciannait Flame: I am NOT going to just go to a dangerous place for some people that I barely know through an association with a crew member
Captain Ciannait Flame: I will take you to Mizzen
Captain Ciannait Flame: and then you can get to Sirens Call easily enough to your death
Vee Barlett: That works.
Vee Barlett: I mean, I'm hoping we don't have to go farther than Mizzen anyways, but who knows.
BOB You are there in the bay of Osterhold
BOB Mizzen is the first island there, then Siren Call
BOB you can use the Knarr line for what you are sailing on even it not too much
BOB Ava has never left the area around the Temple of the Orange Sunsets, her "long" trips were to Achild to see the sunsets
Vee Barlett: Besides NOT goin', anything you think we should grab? I only know of the place...
Levi Reed: rope
Levi Reed: Um
Levi Reed: I don't know Vee, this is your department
Ava Bosley: Oh well... let us see. We will need food - pleanty of food. And water. Is the boat large enough to support the food and water we will need - unless someone can fish from the boat...
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 10]
-> Vee Barlett: There is a Duke in charge of the islands of Siren Call and a different Duke who is in charge of Mizzen,
-> Vee Barlett: 44 miles to sail/row there
Ava Bosley: Oh dear... how many days will we be away from the land?
Vee Barlett: Mizzen is only 44 miles away. With good wind? A day if we're lucky.
BOB you can sail 36 miles a day in your current ship
BOB So a day and a half Vee says
Ava Bosley: Oh! Thank the Goddess, we won't need as much food and water as I had thought
Vee Barlett: With this ship? Maybe slightly longer, a day and a half.
Vee Barlett: Nah, we ain't going into the deep waters.
Levi Reed: I still think rope
Vee Barlett: I have some, but we can grab more. Wax and rope.
Ava Bosley: Why wax
Vee Barlett: Hey Cap'n, how's buying on Mizzen?
Vee Barlett: Sirens.
Ava Bosley: Oh...
Vee Barlett: I mean, I hope we ain't going into their territory, but I don't know.
Captain Ciannait Flame: Mizzen is not a bad place, the Duke and his wife seem to be decent people, I have made port there a few times
Captain Ciannait Flame: He tends to charge a bit more than I like, but overall we can live iwth it
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: Well good thing we're chargin' the church, ya?
Vee Barlett: grins
Captain Ciannait Flame: The Church of Mizzen is a bit quirky
Captain Ciannait Flame: I am not sure I can get funding from them
Vee Barlett: We're doin' their dirty work. I'm sure one of our priest can get more from them if we need given they didn't even provide us a ship.
Ava Bosley: Uhm... I suppose I can speak with them and those from our church to make an arrangement
Captain Ciannait Flame: If your priests can handle that then more power to you
Captain Ciannait Flame: You did help out with navigation before, .... and you will be until we return to Achild
Captain Ciannait Flame: Pointed look at Vee
Vee Barlett: Aye aye, Cap'n!
Vee Barlett: I know ships.
Levi Reed: Watch out for giant eagles
BOB you can just keep on out of the bay and to the west
BOB you do have the docks to ask questions and get supplies then sail out
BOB you feel you have a half hour or so as they have already taken a 24 hour lead on you
Ava Bosley: Excuse me, captain
Captain Ciannait Flame: Quirks an eyebrow, you finally speak quiet little sheep
Ava Bosley: Are there any *gulp* dangers in the waters that we should be aware of
Captain Ciannait Flame: Water is dangerous
Ava Bosley: or on the land we sail to, for that matter
Captain Ciannait Flame: Can you breathe water?
Vee Barlett: Not yet....
Captain Ciannait Flame: Can you swim
Levi Reed: I mean, sure there's the obvious dangers. But what about mermaids? Or chupacabras?
Levi Reed: Stuff like that
Ava Bosley: nods
Captain Ciannait Flame: Chupacabras are not real
Captain Ciannait Flame: That is a myth
Captain Ciannait Flame: Mermaids are real
Captain Ciannait Flame: Sirens are real
Captain Ciannait Flame: Tritons are real
Levi Reed: What are tritons?
Captain Ciannait Flame: Lycornath are real
Vee Barlett: Lycornath?
Captain Ciannait Flame: There are things in the depths that will devour you
Levi Reed: Any almond dopplegangers out there?
Ava Bosley: begins to fiddle with the cloth on her sleeve and pray
Levi Reed: Vicious whales?
Captain Ciannait Flame: Almond? dopplegangers yes, but as a nut? go ask your friends how their nuts are... Laughs
Levi Reed: That doesn't even make any sense.
Captain Ciannait Flame: Whales are both friendly and dangerous
Levi Reed: Jokes aren't good unless they make sense
Levi Reed: What kind of dopplegangers are out there?
Captain Ciannait Flame: Almond Doppleganers do not make sense either
Captain Ciannait Flame: From what I know of them you would know who they are
Levi Reed: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cryptids never exist until they do
Captain Ciannait Flame: When you find one let me know
Levi Reed: We almost got a chupacabra the other night
Captain Ciannait Flame: Really?
Captain Ciannait Flame: what do they look like?
Vee Barlett: Uh, not sure we did, Levi. Those were definitely boot prints of a man.
Levi Reed: Dark shadows. Ava saw one
Captain Ciannait Flame: Are you sure
Levi Reed: Absolutely. About 65 percent sure
Captain Ciannait Flame: Your mouse of a priestess seems to be afraid of her own shadow
Captain Ciannait Flame: We are sailing with the tide
Captain Ciannait Flame: anyone not on board is left behind
Levi Reed: She's tougher than she looks
Vee Barlett: Let's grab supplies and be quick about it, Levi.
Levi Reed: Captain, I don't think you answered Vee's question... what's the shopping like on Mizzen? Will we be able to resupply there if necessary?
Captain Ciannait Flame: Of course
Captain Ciannait Flame: there are towns there, it is not a desert island
Captain Ciannait Flame: They are on the main trade route to Seagate
Levi Reed: I mean, mizzen sounds like midden... could have that name for a reason
Captain Ciannait Flame: Mizzen Mast
Captain Ciannait Flame: is my guess from the old days
Captain Ciannait Flame: Could be wrong
Levi Reed: You boat types are so stuffy
Captain Ciannait Flame: Floaty not stuffy
Captain Ciannait Flame: You don't know many people who live on the sea do you
Levi Reed: Like full time? no
Vee Barlett: I'm the closest he's gotten
Captain Ciannait Flame: Well let's see how close we can get
Vee Barlett: Yes, m'am.
Vee Barlett: I'll be quick.
Vee Barlett: goes off to buy some supples
Levi Reed: Should we get a breathing tube in case we want to scuba dive?
Levi Reed spent 2 SP on breathing tube
Vee Barlett: You do you, man.
Vee Barlett: grabs the wax and rope and heads back to ship
BOB so 8:30 AM and you are sailing out with the tide
The time is 8:30 AM

BOB So between Vee and Ava they know that Mizzen is ruled by a Duke the family does well, governs fairly, and makes most of the island's money by charging a small fee for those docking on the way from Seagate to Borenquin
BOB Vee knows the difference in the land from Borenquin to Mizzen can make another check when you get past there to see if she recognizes Siren Call
BOB You are heading to Mizzen, the first island on theNW Borienquen to Siren Call map
BOB The many small islands to the west of there are Siren Call
BOB After you get past Mizzen Vee needs another check for Siren Call
BOB she will know when you are close to Mizzen tomorrow
BOB Once you get to Mizzen you will be able to ask around for the Flying Fish
BOB Right now you need to sail/row through the day/night to get there
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]
Ava Bosley: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 8) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 12]
Ludwig Bethmann: So what are you folks goign to do this trip?
Vee Barlett: Dirty work for the chuch.
Ava Bosley: We are on a sacred mission for the Church
Ludwig Bethmann: I thought that was last time?
Vee Barlett: Someone stole some rum, and they want it back.
Ludwig Bethmann: Glances over at the captain
Vee Barlett: Nah, they weren't in the city.
Ludwig Bethmann: We are doing this for rum?
Vee Barlett: The little ship that almost hit us? They took it.
Vee Barlett: Very old, old rum.
Ludwig Bethmann: How old?
Vee Barlett: Make sure you charge the church plenty.
Vee Barlett: 50 years or so?
Ludwig Bethmann: Well then why didn't you say so
Ludwig Bethmann: FULL SAILS
Ludwig Bethmann: We need to go get that
Vee Barlett: laughs
Ludwig Bethmann: we get to keep it right?
Vee Barlett: Hmm... depends.
Ava Bosley: Wait a moment, I hope you will charge the Church fairly - especially knowing all they do for the area
Ava Bosley: sigh
Vee Barlett: I have some... others who may want it.
Ava Bosley: We will be returning the rum
Ava Bosley: trying to play "honest"
Raimund Feilhaber: Looks over the deck
Vee Barlett: Oh, right. Sure.
Vee Barlett: winks at Ludwig
Raimund Feilhaber: Sighs
Raimund Feilhaber: Where is my priest to clean the decks?
Vee Barlett: He's got the holy shits, I heard.
Vee Barlett: Plenty to clean below deck if that's true.
Ludwig Bethmann: Looks over at Ava, do you really think that the Church is doing that much?
Vee Barlett: She's "chosen" by them. Brainwashed early, I think.
Ludwig Bethmann: Nods knowingly
Ava Bosley: I've seen it. No need to brainwash... we support each other with food and community. We support the community with drink.
Ava Bosley: smiles
Vee Barlett: gives Ludwig a knowing look
Ava Bosley: We bring joy!
Ludwig Bethmann: Rum is a good way to joy I will admit
Ava Bosley: See
Ava Bosley: giggles
Vee Barlett: Look, as I told Jericho, I'm all for the gods an' all. Deltan helps us sail, but they ain't the church.
Vee Barlett: But at least the church does give us more choices of rum.
Ava Bosley: hmm... Well the Church brings us closer to the gods. It's a place for contemplation of their mysteries
Vee Barlett: Maybe I'll find a temple that's doin' it right, but I ain't seen that yet.
Raimund Feilhaber: Lots of contemplation at the bottle of a barrel
Vee Barlett: Sunset's not bad, I suppose.
Vee Barlett: laughs
Raimund Feilhaber: True
Raimund Feilhaber: I will give you that
Vee Barlett: And you lot make fun of my drinking!
Ava Bosley: That's Jericho
Vee Barlett: Poor kid's gotta loosen up a bit.
Raimund Feilhaber: A LOT
Vee Barlett: grins
Vee Barlett: I was tryin' to be nice.
Levi Reed: More than a lot, if you ask me
Vee Barlett: If he's gonna keep sticking around, we're gonna have to work harder on that.
Ava Bosley: He, uhm... works hard
Levi Reed: We just gotta get the stick out
Vee Barlett: He's luck he ain't an anchor right now.
Raimund Feilhaber: He could have done more with the forecastle
Vee Barlett: You leavin' it pink?
BOB Yes to Carissa, you are sailing out into the bay
BOB (have to name that soon, before you come back) and then across the ocean to Mizzen
BOB watching the ships roll in
BOB and watch em roll away again
Vee Barlett: Pink ain't my favorite color. I'd have thrown him overboard for it myself.
MeLange: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 5]
MeLange: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 14]

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]
Raimund Feilhaber: Looks at Vee
Raimund Feilhaber: You want to go change it?
Raimund Feilhaber: Or are you going to wait for your priest to
Vee Barlett: Ain't my ship.
Raimund Feilhaber: One way or another someone is going to magic it back
Vee Barlett: That's what I was wonderin'
MeLange: Magic what back now?
Vee Barlett: The pink forecastle.
Vee Barlett: Maybe Jericho will sleep enough to do that.
MeLange: why is it pink?
Levi Reed: I kind of like the pink. Although a blueish gray to blend in with the water more might be more useful
Vee Barlett: Jericho was being Jericho.
Raimund Feilhaber: Because your priest is an ass
Vee Barlett: barks a laugh
MeLange: Hah! Jericho be sleepin
MeLange: Didn't say pink was bad, just seems curious for a castle
Levi Reed: Oh, hey buddy! I picked up a present for you in town!
MeLange: Present?!
Levi Reed: gives Melange the "breathing tube"
MeLange: Oh my goodness I've wanted one of these for ages! Thank you Levi!
MeLange: Breathing underwater, it must be amazing I cannot wait to give this thing a try
Levi Reed: Hopefully we'll get some chill time at the next stop and you'll get to check out the shallows
MeLange: That sounds like a good time, do you have one too?
Levi Reed: Nah, water's not really my thing. Bet you could get Vee out there with you though. Or maybe one of the twins
Vee Barlett: Can a priest be an ass if a stick is up there?
Raimund Feilhaber: I think he can be so stuck up that he cannot move without being an ass
Vee Barlett: thinks about that
Vee Barlett: Hmm, that'd make sense.
Ava Bosley: rolls eyes at everyone
Ava Bosley: Can we please not speak ill of Jericho behind his back
MeLange: I wasn't speaking ill, merely stating facts
Raimund Feilhaber: I will be glad to be ill to his face
MeLange: Jericho be sleepin... Levi be drinkin... I be winkin
Vee Barlett: sighs
Vee Barlett: We're just sayin what he hopefully already knows. Gotta help him change his ways or he's gonna make a ton of enemies.
Vee Barlett: A crew like this?
Vee Barlett: nods to the ship crew
Vee Barlett: Gotta bond with them somehow, and sometimes that's easiest. It's ship life.
Levi Reed: Yeah, and I say all the same shit to Jericho's face
Levi Reed: He knows his personality weaknesses
Vee Barlett: But he still ain't listen'
BOB Just to make sure you understand you have been sailing out of the bay and towards Mizzen
The time is 12:30 PM
Levi Reed: Sure, but it takes time for people to come around
Levi Reed: Remember how I was when you first met me?
Vee Barlett: The same as you are now.
Vee Barlett: An ass.
Vee Barlett: But you at least got charm to help ya.
MeLange: That sounds like a good time, do you have one too?
Levi Reed: Nah, water's not really my thing. Bet you could get Vee out there with you though. Or maybe one of the twins
Levi Reed: [d20 = 18]
BOB How is your navigation?
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 16]
BOB So not good
BOB anyone else have anything that might help?
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 12]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]
BOB Levi and Vee can both tell you are being blown off course by a rising storm
BOB It seems to be taking you northernly instead of westerly but you are not sure
BOB and cannot tell exactly where to go with the storm hiding the sun
MeLange: uh oh
Vee Barlett: Storm incomin'! It's blowing us off course.
MeLange: of course what?
Vee Barlett: Anyone got a compass?
The time is 4:30 PM
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Direction Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
BOB Compasses are not standard gear
BOB Luckily you made your Seamanship rolls
BOB so you did not capsize
BOB and after the storm you realize you are......
BOB heading north Levi says
Vee Barlett: We need to go westerly,.
Levi Reed: Yeah, looks like we're pretty north-y
BOB and with another navigation check from Vee
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 20]
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 7]
BOB She is steering the ship west
BOB but not sure if she is on track or not
BOB just knows it is west
Vee Barlett: Well we ARE going west, but I can't tell if we're on track.
Vee Barlett: Raimund, any of this feel right to you?
Levi Reed: Nah, we're kind of north-ier than we're supposed to be I think
Levi Reed: Nah, we're kind of north-ier than we're supposed to be I think
Levi Reed: We gotta go south-ier
BOB Wisdom check from Vee
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]
-> Vee Barlett: It is amazing that a small boat like the Flying Fish made it through this storm
Vee Barlett: I wonder how a small ship like the Flying Fish got through this nonsense?
Levi Reed: Maybe it didn't, and that rum is at the bottom of the sea
MeLange: i wonder that too
MeLange: lucky fish
Raimund Feilhaber: The Flying Fish is a smuggler
Raimund Feilhaber: Their captain knows the ins and outs of these waters
Vee Barlett: Then we tell the church, too bad tough luck it's gone?
Raimund Feilhaber: Captain Hail
Vee Barlett: Captain Hail?
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]
MeLange: how deep do you think it is down there?
Raimund Feilhaber: I can tie a rock to you and we can find out
Vee Barlett: Maybe we should have dragged someone along who also knows that.
Levi Reed: Not sure, but you probably shouldn't go check it out in this weather
Vee Barlett: He'd sink fast.
Raimund Feilhaber: My guess? 2? 3? hundred feet?
Raimund Feilhaber: Maybe more
Vee Barlett: And we already saw how bad you are at holdin' your breath, MeLange.
MeLange: true, plus would we even know about where it dropped if it did drop?
Levi Reed: Did we?
Vee Barlett: The crazy lady who tried to strangle him? AND succeeded??
MeLange: Ahh well my good buddy gave me anice little present so that wouldn't be an issue anymore
Vee Barlett: We'd need to ask someone below us, and I don't know them out here.
Levi Reed: Well that's different
Levi Reed: Pressure on the airpipe is different
Levi Reed: And she was strong. And crazy.
MeLange: very
Vee Barlett: I don't think that tube is 300 ft long....
MeLange: hmm good point
Raimund Feilhaber: Your priests might help?
MeLange: you could try to create some sort of air bubble that also goes down
Raimund Feilhaber: Last priest we had on board could breath underwater
Raimund Feilhaber: He was useful
MeLange: then one could breathe out of the air bubble
Vee Barlett: That's the dream.
Vee Barlett: If I could breath underwater, I'd never have to get out.
MeLange: not even to bathe?
Vee Barlett: Who needs to bathe when you're surrounded by water?
Vee Barlett: Well, unless I'm visiting Dad. He's sensitive to smells.
BOB Who wants to make the next roll for an encounter?
MeLange: true
MeLange: [d20 = 14]
Ava Bosley: [d20 = 16]
BOB excellent
BOB So as you are sailing along, arguing and trying to figure out where you actually are
MeLange: where the hell are we?!?!
BOB a large bird circles over head
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 6]
MeLange: uh oh
MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 12]
GM: [d20 = 12]
BOB and THINNNNNNGGGGGG
BOB an arrow shoots out of the crows nest and pierces the bird
BOB It falls to the surface of the water
Vee Barlett: Nice shot!
MeLange: whoa
BOB Ava or anyone can make a wisdom check? or an omen check?
Levi Reed: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 16]
Ava Bosley: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 5]
MeLange: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 10]
-> Ava Bosley: That is an albatross, it is bad luck to see one on the surface of the water
-> Vee Barlett: That is an albatross, it is bad luck to kill them
Ava Bosley: Oh no...
Ava Bosley: perhaps we should wait a day to set sail
BOB you are half a day out sailing got lost in a storm Angelica
Vee Barlett: slaps forehead
Levi Reed: Kinda too late for that
Vee Barlett: Say a prayer for it.
Vee Barlett: We're a bit jumpy from the eagle I suppose.
Levi Reed: What is it?
MeLange: Good lord bless this bird!
Vee Barlett: Albatoss. Bad luck to kill one.
Ava Bosley: It is an albatross.... bad omens
Ava Bosley: bad omens in the water...
MeLange: well we didn't kill it
Ava Bosley: But who did?
MeLange: bad omen for that guy, we're fine... probably
Vee Barlett: A crewmate did, and we're party of the crew.
Levi Reed: I mean, it's also bad luck not to have a cat on board, and I haven't seen any cats
MeLange: are you suggesting we throw him overboard?
Levi Reed: Some people say it's bad luck to have women on board, and here we are
MeLange: buncha chauvinists
Raimund Feilhaber: Who called that shot?
Vee Barlett: nods towards the crows nest.
Ault Lamagnon: Aye sir
Ava Bosley: Perhaps we should pray over the crew member who made the shot... cleans his soul and ask for forgiveness
Levi Reed: Can't he cleanse his own soul?
Vee Barlett: touches her collar to fend of the bad luck
Ault Lamagnon: Climbs down from his perch towards the deck
Raimund Feilhaber: You think you can do that Priestess?
Raimund Feilhaber: Already had a storm, now this
Raimund Feilhaber: Don't need to be cursed
Ava Bosley: Let me think...
Ava Bosley: calms self
Vee Barlett: Made that bird drop a soul. You got two souls needin' a blessing now.
MeLange: I mean it's possible that goin overboard is the only way for him to cleanse his soul right? That makes sense?
Ault Lamagnon: I thought it was an eagle
Ault Lamagnon: I swear
Levi Reed: Birds have souls?
Levi Reed: What did it drop?
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 19]
MeLange: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 17]
Vee Barlett: Ault, you better help him if you know what's best.
BOB so Melange can swim out and grab the bird and bring it back
BOB and Ault will help haul him back on board
BOB then Ava can cast her spell on it
Ava Bosley: [CAST] Revitalize Animal
BOB and yes she does revive it, so it lives
GM: [d3 = 2]
BOB and she takes 2 points of damage from herself to the bird
Ava Bosley's health adjusted by -2
BOB It is alive and squawking
Vee Barlett: Huh, well it's a good thing you're here. We don't need more bad luck.
BOB animal friendship type skills?
Vee Barlett: squats down to reach out to the bird
Carissa (Vee Barlett): When dealing with domestic or non-hostile animals, a Ranger can approach the animal and automatically befriend it. When dealing with wild animals or an animal trained to attack the animal must roll a saving throw versus rods to resist the Rangers overture.
MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 13]
Ava Bosley: [SKILL] Animal Handling [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]
GM: [d20 = 16]
BOB so the Albatross is calmed by Ava, Melange helps fix its feathers, it is quiet on the deck and Vee befriends it so that it is comfortable and relaxed around her
BOB anyone have speak with animals?
Vee Barlett : [Translation] It's a seabird. Does it speak aquatic??
BOB It does not seem to understand that
Vee Barlett: Hmm, nope. You'd think you'd know that sound....
Vee Barlett: lightly strokes the bird's feathers
Vee Barlett: Well you ARE very pretty, at least.
BOB As of right now the albatross is friends with Vee, and it content to hang out and relax with everyone
Vee Barlett: Did that reverse the curse? Having an albatross on deck?
Levi Reed: Great, Vee made friends with a zombie
Raimund Feilhaber: I have no clue
Raimund Feilhaber: I have never seen that
Vee Barlett: Not the worst friend I've ever made.
Vee Barlett: looks intently at Levi
Levi Reed: Ouch, Vee
Vee Barlett: Well keep Ault away from him or next time I'll throw him overboard myself.
Levi Reed: Seems harsh just for a bird
Vee Barlett: Ain't just a bird. It's the bad luck.
Vee Barlett: You landlubbers just don't understand.
Levi Reed: Not sure I believe killing a bird causes bad luck
Raimund Feilhaber: It is bad luck
Vee Barlett: But you believe in Verulian Jackalopes.
Levi Reed: rolls eyes
Raimund Feilhaber: I would have thrown a barrel of rum overboard
Raimund Feilhaber: to please the gods
Raimund Feilhaber: or ask forgiveness
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: Toss some gold or other sacrific.
Vee Barlett: Follow them gods for a reason. That's a big one.
Levi Reed: Tell you what, I'll drink all the rum and then after it's been through my system, release it into the water
Vee Barlett: Or we toss you overboard. Double sacrific.
Raimund Feilhaber: Will definitely take away his bow until he learns better
Vee Barlett: nods in agreement
Raimund Feilhaber: Just antsy over the loss before
Raimund Feilhaber: but not a good answer
Vee Barlett: You're a nicer crew than the last I sailed with.
Vee Barlett: Or the one before that...
Vee Barlett: Or... well, huh.
Raimund Feilhaber: Which crew was that?
Vee Barlett: Oh, you wouldn't know them.
Vee Barlett: Group of friends.
Raimund Feilhaber: We meet up with a lot of ships
Vee Barlett: nods
Raimund Feilhaber: We have been all the way south to the Kings Harbor
Vee Barlett: To Kings Habor?? Dang, what was that like?
Raimund Feilhaber: The cliffs are dangerous, nothing like these here in Osterhold
Raimund Feilhaber: Then the beaches are smooth as gold
Vee Barlett: Was it worth the sail?
Levi Reed: Oh that sounds worth a trip
Raimund Feilhaber: the Harbor is immense, so many different ships
Levi Reed: I do love a good beach
Vee Barlett: I'd love to see that one day. Sail on some different ships, too, maybe. Can't ever sail on enough different types of ships.
Levi Reed: Harbors less so
Raimund Feilhaber: We just delivered a chest for the Church, some scrolls and the got out before the hurricane
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: I'm still tryin' to figure them out. Hopin' maybe my friend will teach me weather patterns next time I see her.
Raimund Feilhaber: was a crazy storm, looked like the entire world was upside down, water below islands above, wind and rain everywhere
Vee Barlett: If you could hold your breath, that'd be amazing.
Raimund Feilhaber: We were lucky to get out of there alive
Raimund Feilhaber: that was two years ago
Vee Barlett: Summertime?
Raimund Feilhaber: Yeah
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: I hear that's when they usually form. At least it's still winter now.
Raimund Feilhaber: Well sailing west so lets hope we find an island soon
Raimund Feilhaber: Guessing Mizzen is there

BOB sailing westward
BOB Darkness does fall
Vee Barlett: I'd be nice if Matty stopped cowering and would help up here...
Vee Barlett: pets the albatross again because she is STRESSED and grumpy
Levi Reed: I think the guy has some seasickness. Would never admit it, though
Vee Barlett: He knows I'd chew his ass out.
Levi Reed: You do that anyway
Vee Barlett: You ain't been on a ship with me before, Levi.
Levi Reed: Yeah, and I'm starting to rethink doing it again in the future
Vee Barlett: doesn't argue that
Vee Barlett: Too bad you can't get to Seagate or King's Harbor any other way
Levi Reed: I have plenty going for me back home, I'll be ok
Vee Barlett: Gotta get home first.
Levi Reed: I can get passage on a different ship
Vee Barlett: Good luck.
Vee Barlett: salutes him sarcastically
Levi Reed: You should sleep. Maybe that would help.
Vee Barlett: We stoppin' for the night?
Levi Reed: I don't know, but you've slept what, five hours in the last three days?
Vee Barlett: looking around for Captain Flame or Raimund
Captain Ciannait Flame: Walking the deck
Vee Barlett: Cap'n. Are we sailing through the night or stopping for the night?
Captain Ciannait Flame: I say we continue to sail west through the night
Captain Ciannait Flame: We take shifts
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: Probably best to make up lost time.
Levi Reed: Can you tell which way's west in the night?
Captain Ciannait Flame: We can do our best by the stars
Vee Barlett: opens her mouth to answer then just points to the Captain and nods
Levi Reed: looks up
Captain Ciannait Flame: Points to the Boot
Captain Ciannait Flame: Those right there point the way east
Captain Ciannait Flame: So we just go the other way
Vee Barlett: looks up and listens
Captain Ciannait Flame: have to be careful
Levi Reed: Ok, if you say so
Captain Ciannait Flame: But not any reefs out here
Vee Barlett: Good for the ship, bad for my love of reefs.
Levi Reed: Not my area of expertise so, I gotta trust you... seawalkers
Captain Ciannait Flame: East and south
Captain Ciannait Flame: nods, go catch your rest
Captain Ciannait Flame: you four did good
Captain Ciannait Flame: at least
Vee Barlett: Thanks, Cap'n.
Vee Barlett: We'll make up for the time lost after some rest.
Levi Reed: Vee and Ava did good. Me and Melange are just here.
MeLange: Hey I put feathers back on the bird and went swimming
Levi Reed: Oh fair point
Levi Reed: I'm just here
MeLange: You gave me the breathing tube, that was nice
Levi Reed: Nice, but not exactly helpful
Vee Barlett: yawns and offers her arm to the albatross to see if it wants to join her
BOB The albatros does not want to go inside, but is content to hang out on the mast
BOB Or on the upper deck
Vee Barlett: lightly pats him on the head and goes below deck
