With Anewein & Orson's ship at 4122
7:34pm 2017-11-24 Smon Has entered the room
Smon: ok, home & got some bacon cooking
chris107: No, I don’t think they have. Not quite sure how the timelines stand just at the moment.
chris107: Yum!
Sandor Sunneson: I think damage done with the new sword are 1d8+10 if held single handed or 1d10+10 if 2 handed
Smon: last session http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/session-141-36-66-claiming-swords.html
Smon: yes

Smon: Timeline - Sandor & co 6/6, Sandro & co are on 4/6
Sandor Sunneson: cool, just confirming
chris107:
chris107: Thanks
Sandor Sunneson: Chris is going to recruit all non Bill PCs as mercenaries and then Hakeem is going to destroy Ahyf
Sandor Sunneson: That's good, not far apart then
Smon: end session: chris107: A fine adventure, Ajax, Sandor! Grins the elf Smon: "You were successful, then?" DESTROYERBILL: sorry maglor if the boat is going to ayth thats breaking my will since it is apart of the dragon dominyan Smon: Orson: "Now on to Rallu!" Sandor Sunneson: Thank you all for your assistance chris107: M let’s Prince Sandor answer Smon: GM: 3000 XP each chris107: Yay! Nice one Sandor Sunneson: Ajax, Rallu? I'll show you my home! chris107: I look forward to that. Friend Ajax chris107: Short rest on boat? Sandor Sunneson: Yes, Ajax will heal himself and get HD back
chris107: I am?
Sandor Sunneson: No, was teasing,
Smon: Shieldbiter may have a mutually beneficial proposal for Hakeem when he gets back...
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: Your DF message I read in a menacing way
Smon: GM: The Buxom Wench casts off and sails away from Three Sword Isle.
chris107: Maglor is delighted and will entertain the crew with some acrobatics
Smon: /roll d6x2
Smon Rolls 1d6x2 and gets:
4 = 4
2 = 2
Smon: The next two days 6/6 and 7/6 pass peacefully as you sail south across the gulf of Marduck Bay.
chris107: I look forward to seeing your home, Ajax.
Smon: Mid day on 7/6 you pass a craggy isle to the west, Orson points it out: "Ataman Isle. Men lived there once, but now just ruins... The harbor is impassable to any medium size or larger vessel due to the two wrecked warships now lying on the bottom. Usually a hawk is seen flying overhead anytime ships approach the island."
Sandor Sunneson: I'll gladly show you all around
Smon: Krabbe: "A blood hawk... Could be a wizard's familiar. Whatever lives there now, best avoided!"
Sandor Sunneson: You know these seas well Orson Sandor asks
chris107: @ Orson - is it usual to get a hawk so far from the mainland?
Smon: Orson: "Aye. Been sailing them 30 years, man and boy!"
Sandor Sunneson: Or a wizard polymorphing himself to see what he can see Ajax asks?
chris107: Maglor eyes the bird suspiciously
Sandor Sunneson: You ain't done too badly, big monsters and small ones encountered I guess
Smon: Orson: "The Xanthic Keys are twenty miles north, then the mainland... a strong flier might reach there I suppose."
Smon: There is a dot above the distant ruined harbour, cream-coloured stones crumbling into the ocean.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will ask Krabbe if he could cast dispel magic on it? Probably a bit too far away.... Ajax will snigger
Smon: Krabbe gives Ajax an annoyed look. "Quit yer sniggerin boy!"
Sandor Sunneson: Dot as in a being of somekind?
chris107: @ Sandor - you want to investigate?
Smon: The hawk, presumably,
Sandor Sunneson: Can do, (guess the GM has something prepared) so why not
Sandor Sunneson: Was thinking on getting Ajax home, but why not, ask Orson
Smon: Orson: "We're heading south to Klerkenwell, a Dwarf Hold on the coast of Xastus forest. Should reach it tomorrow... "
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: His ship....
Sandor Sunneson: That's fine
Smon: Orson shakes his head.
Sandor Sunneson: On we go
Smon: Orson: "One thing I've learned is not to tangle with mysterious islands!"
Sandor Sunneson: What you know of that island then Orson/Krabbe?
chris107: Maglor makes a mental note of this.
Sandor Sunneson: Stay focused
Smon: Krabbe: "Just what the Captain told you."
Smon: You sail on.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon: 8/6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Sandor Sunneson: Meant about the wizard
chris107: Oops
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Sandor Sunneson: Could be a shoal of tuna
Smon: Noon on 8/6 and a jungle coast comes in view to the south, the lookout reports the smokes of Klerkenwell Hold.
Smon: Orson: "We'll sell some of the slaves there, buy spices and arcane reagants from the dwarves. They're a friendly lot, mostly."
Smon: /roll d12+d8
Smon rolls 1d12+8 and gets: 4, (+8) = 12
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 5,
Smon: Then the lookout calls: "Cap'n! Ship astern!"
Smon: Hurrying to the stern you see a ship fast approaching, practically skimming across the waves.
7:51pm 2017-11-24 chris107 Has exited the room
Smon: brb bacon
7:51pm 2017-11-24 chris107 Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: Pirate ship?
chris107: Pirates? Wonders Maglor aloud
chris107: M looks for a shadowed place on the ship to lurk in, concealing himself but with a good view for firing his crossbow
Sandor Sunneson: The ship slows down as cook comes on deck with bacon rolls for everyone
chris107: Yum!
Smon: Maglor looks to hide himself amidst the bales on deck.
Smon: Orson: "Can we outrun her Krabbe?" The wizard shakes his head.
chris107 rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 5, (+11) = 16
Smon: Orson: "Then we..."
chris107: (Roll on 9th level!)
Smon: Orson: "I recognise the design... elven. Could it be the Amiondel? If so, we'll sell our lives dearly..."
*chris107 gulp*
Sandor Sunneson: wisdom check for Maglor or Sandor or AjAX?
Sandor Sunneson: or INT even?
Smon: Ajax has heard of the Amiondel Elves of Ludgates, dark worshippers of Natch Ur, demon god of the deep earth, they are merciless.
Smon: Orson: "Better death than slavery or worse at the hands of the Amiondel..."
chris107: (Klerkenwell & Ludgates? )
Smon: (I didn't make it up)
Sandor Sunneson: Well here goes......
Smon: Within moments the elven ship is in range. A robed figure is at the prow. She...
Smon: ..Waves...
Smon: "Yoo-hoo!"
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will cast shield on himself
chris107: Within Crossbow range?
Sandor Sunneson: Sarene?
Smon: *sigh* Fergus that is a Reaction
Sandor Sunneson: No, cause Sandor only knows of her in legend, Sandro knows her
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look back at the robed figure
Smon: The elven princess waves to you from the deck of the ship, whose name plate reads Foamrunner. "Hello there!"
chris107: Hehe
Smon: "I am Crystal Moonsilver, Princess of Diancecht and Captainess of this vessel! Who might you be?"
chris107: M uncocks his crossbow. This woman doesn’t look very threatening
Smon: princess - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO91p6Fr_-cZgtFAI9w8wa4DdYcrd0iYyGkf2oc4T95EDat34z4FygiYWhMjiommFd_cdv3euAZ0qJTD_CDBvPphlYvL6WUF8StZ3S2BxLoUUv5-PG61-K3pAZcKrsGuEDzexnrymUYaY/s320/da461273a1e011ec5868c8cef66ce33d.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: I am Johann, Barbarian of the North,
Smon: Orson looks at the princess across the gap of water. "Eh... Hello there. I'm Captain Orson, and these two are my guests."
chris107: M remains hidden
Smon: Orson looks around, sees Maglor has vanished.
Smon: Crystal: "You have a Skandik accent... What brings you so far south?"
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will give an ackowledged wave in Crystal's direction
Sandor Sunneson: What a lovely name you have, going to Rallu,
Sandor Sunneson: to escort this chap home
Sandor Sunneson: points at Ajax aka Merlin
Smon: Crystal smiles and waves back at Ajax. "Hello there! You look a bit familiar!"
Smon: Orson: "Trade, milady... heading for Rallu."
Sandor Sunneson: does Ajax recognise her?
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 6,
Smon: Make INT check
Smon: DC 10
Sandor Sunneson: 6+4=10
Smon: Yes, when he first met Hakeem she was with him. Her boat left Hakeem on the ship you were travelling north on, the Garland.
Sandor Sunneson: You do too, with Hakeem, the Garland
Smon: Crystal: "Oh I remember now! How's Lord Hakeem?"
Smon: Orson looks impressed. "You have powerful friends..." he mutters to Ajax.
Sandor Sunneson: He's fine we believe, got lots of negotiating to do to keep him busy
Smon: "Negotiating? Tell me about it!" she smiles.
Smon: "We're heading to Klerkenwell to see the Dwarves... Well, mustn't keep you!"
Smon: "Bye!"
Sandor Sunneson: We are here now, lots of sides to keep happy,
Smon: As the ship passes you heading into port you see two more female elves watching you from the deck, an older woman in priestess garb & a red-haired Ranger.
Smon: Orson: "Nice to see a friendly face..."
Smon: "And a nice pair of tits." says Krabbe lecherously.
Sandor Sunneson: Follow that boat I guess, interesting that she is on the boat of thr Amiondal
chris107: Once they are clear Maglor will rejoin his friends
Smon: Orson gives the orders and the ship resumes course for Klerkenwell, approaching the harbour that afternoon.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look at the Ranger and smile
Smon: (she gives Sandor a wink). The dwarf port is well fortified, stone walls in good repair.
Sandor Sunneson: So they are some kind of elven death cult with what appears to be a Ranger on board?
Smon: You berth on the quayside.
chris107: It wasn’t that ship
chris107: Just a similar design
Sandor Sunneson: ah ok
Smon: You see the elf ship Foamrunner at the neighbouring berth.
Smon: Orson: "Those are Diancecht elves, the good ones."
Sandor Sunneson: How long we stopping here for Orson?
Smon: "Just a day or so, bit of trading and take on fresh water."
Sandor Sunneson: Head to the bar tonight chaps?
Smon: "You can see the town or stay on board."
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- what is a far payment for 3 passengers to Rallu?
Smon: Orson nods. "Me, I'm looking to sample that dwarven mead..."
chris107: Maglor agrees. Even though he’s not much of a drinker
Smon: OOC maybe 100gp
Sandor Sunneson: OOC-100gp per passenger?
Smon: yes
Sandor Sunneson: cool,
chris107: I thought we were traveling free as guards?
Sandor Sunneson: ok
Smon: yes, you are
chris107: (Maglor doesn’t have 100GP )
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: Orson pays the docking fee and supervises the unloading of the Ahyf slave girls and their transport to an auction house for sale.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor, Ajax will have a look round the market, you coming withh Maglor?
chris107: Sure thing
Smon: There are several taverns on the docks, and just up from the docks is the famous Spice Market.
Sandor Sunneson: Any magic items for sale?
Smon: Ajax sees that many exotic and rare ingredients are on sale, oils that could be used in the crafting of enchanted items.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: Just potions of healing and petty scrolls.
Sandor Sunneson: would 20gp worth of these items be a decent selection?
Smon: A burly tattooed dwarf saunters up. "Hello there, what you looking for my magey friend?"
Smon: "We have oils of strength, tempering reagants for the crafting of the finest blades, emollients for the treating of leather..."
Smon: "Even sands for the crafting of dwarven steel!"
Sandor Sunneson: A random selection of some of your base ingredients please, going to try my hand at making some magic stuff
Smon: "How much do you want to spend? 500 gold should give you a good start on some of the commoner items..."
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax being more clued up on the subject than Fergus is, should know what he wants
Sandor Sunneson: 500?? really? More wanting stuff to make protective devices
chris107: So you don’t spend the long winter nights whittling wands Fergus?
Smon: It's normally 500gp of stuff to make an Uncommon item. Also 20 days.
Smon: A few thousand gp here would give you enough to stock a laboratory.
Sandor Sunneson: Is this stuff common in Rallu too?
Smon: You should be able to get a sizable discount here by the look of it.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, he'll spend 2000gp then on laboratory stock
Sandor Sunneson: Ha ha Chris, no
Smon: GM: Shopping until the evening, Ajax acquires 2000gp of reagants. With a 500gp for adamantine bracers he has enough to create Bracers of Defence (Rare item, +2 AC when unarmoured & no shield, stacks w Mage Armour spell)
chris107: Maglors eyes bulge at the sight of such wealth
chris107: Nice!
Sandor Sunneson: cool
Smon: As it's a Rare item it normally takes 5000/25 = 200 days to craft, but if you have a wizard's tower to channel the arcane energies can do it in 1/10 the time.
Smon: Also assistants can reduce the time needed.
Sandor Sunneson: Cool, ok lets get the goods to Rallu undamaged
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: GM: You spend the evening drinking strong mead in a dwarf bar.
chris107: Sparingly for Maglor
Smon: Listening to a "Country & Tunnel" rock band play.
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor on watch out too, so Skandik stereotypes not followed up
Smon: The dwarves seem friendly, and offer you some kind of pink liquor.
chris107: Not for M thank you
Smon: A bearded dwarf lady promises "It's not poisonous!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look at Maglor, this is fine
Sandor Sunneson: for me
Sandor Sunneson: Like the ale my lady
Smon: Sandor drinks the dwarf liquor?
Sandor Sunneson: No
Sandor Sunneson: He likes the ale
Smon: The dwarves seem disappointed and drift away.
Smon: Then you see the redhead elf girl from the boat come in...
chris107:
Smon: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ab/79/5f/ab795fd6fd8317fada943088d32c5310.jpg
Smon: She looks around, spots you three and comes over.
Smon: "Hello there. I'm Anewein. Mind if I join you?"
Sandor Sunneson: hello there Sailor
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will offer her his seat, not at all,
Smon: "More of a Ranger, actually..."
chris107: Maglor bows, like a good servant would
Smon: She smiles at Ajax and sits, looking Maglor over.
Sandor Sunneson: Ah, so where you going travelling across the salty water?
Smon: "Where are you from?" (to Maglor)
chris107: Anatal my Lady
Sandor Sunneson: Would you like a drink Anewein?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor says
Smon: "Anatal? You've come a long way! A drink would be lovely, yes..."
Sandor Sunneson: They have a pink liquor they wanted us to taste? He'll shrug as he says it? You fancy it?
Smon: A heavily bearded dwarf bar maid brings Anewein some ale.
chris107: Indeed. I am far from home. My masters are well travelled men.
Smon: "Dwarf liquor? Er..."
Smon: Barmaid: "Oh, go on go on go on go on..."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will laugh, that was our reaction
chris107:
Smon: Anewein: "Eh, very well then..." she takes a small tumbler of the pink liquid and sips.
Smon: "Wow... strong stuff."
Smon: Anewein: "Have you heard of the Amiondel?"
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, a ship to be avoided
chris107: Maglors ears prick up
Smon: She takes another sip. "Mmm... quite nice really.... No. The Amiondel are a cult, not a ship."
Sandor Sunneson: Oh, ok, elfs to be avoided then
Smon: "They took over the human city of Ludgates years ago, in the fingers of Oricha south of here. Built themselves quite an empire..."
Smon: Her cheeks look quite flushed now. She takes another drink, larger.
Smon: "Princess Moonsilver and Priestess Filmathiel, her mother, are here to cement the alliance between Diancecht and the Dwarves of Klerkenwell. But I need to head on south to Rallu, find out what I can..."
Smon: "...I need to book passage on a merchant ship."
Sandor Sunneson: I'm sure Orson would have you on board as a guard
Sandor Sunneson: We are headed onto Rallu
Smon: "Good... Moonsilver says you are friends of Hakeem, so I trust you..."
Smon: She blinks, looking woozy.
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you, and likewise, you need to lie down lady
chris107: Oh dear...
Smon: "Mmm tired... Just going to... "
Smon: /roll d3
Smon rolls 1d3 and gets: 1
Sandor Sunneson: Maglor/Ajax, help her.....
Smon: She leans against Maglor.
chris107: Best get her back to her ship
Sandor Sunneson: Take her back to the ship#
Smon: Puts her arms round Maglor's neck, her eyes close.
chris107: Maglor has had enough drink for his liking anyway
Smon: The bar maid chuckles. "Elves, eh!"
Smon: Several dwarves laugh. "Cannae hold liquor like a wee bairn!"
chris107: Would you guys help me?
Smon: Anewein appears to have passed out.
chris107: Maglor laughs along good naturedlly
Sandor Sunneson: Is that said in a Craggy Island accent? go on go on go on
Smon: The females are Irish, the males are Scottish.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will open the door and give the dwarfs a thumbs up, also pay as he leaves
chris107: Hehe
chris107: Get her back to the Foamrunner
Smon: ooc I'm drinking pink cider & eating gherkin slices
Smon: (deduct 3 sp)
chris107: And let them know she wishes to join our vessel when she wakes up
Sandor Sunneson: will do
chris107: What a mixture!
Smon: Who is helping her back? Sandor?
Sandor Sunneson: The 3 of them
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will not be bossed around by his servant
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will go ahead and tell Orson
Smon: Only needs Sandor to carry her, she's pretty light.
chris107: Maglor goes along anyway
Sandor Sunneson: She did fall into Maglor's arms, but Sandor happy to help
Smon: Ajax leaves to find Orson while the others help her back the short way to her ship.
Sandor Sunneson: so will carry her
Smon: At the Foamrunner gangplank you're met by a male half elf crewman.
Smon: http://img06.deviantart.net/7720/i/2013/021/5/f/sailor_by_angevere-d5s8ncj.jpg
chris107: Maglors 8 Strength not too good for carrying
Smon: "I'm first mate Aenaro, the Princess and the Priestess are at the Royal Hall... What happened to her?"
Smon: He eyes Anewein disapprovingly.
chris107: Dwarven Spirits. M explains
Sandor Sunneson: A dwarven liquor
Smon: "Ah."
Smon: "Very good then, best get her to bed..." he shakes his head.
chris107: She wishes to join us on our trip to Rallu. Perhaps you could remind her in the morning?
Smon: Anewein's eyes open blearily, she looks at Maglor. "You're cute... *hic*"
chris107: My Lady. He bows as he slips away
Smon: Aenaro nods and moves in to support the elf maid. "Aye. Thanks for bringing her back, friends."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will hand her on to the crewman
Smon: Aenaero helps Anewein up the gangplank & to bed.
Sandor Sunneson: She'll hopefully have passage to Rallu, just need Orson to confirm
Smon: GM: Ajax finds Captain Orson in the town's most expensive brothel, and passes on the news. Orson guffaws from under several ladies of the evening, waving him away.
Smon: OOC Think I'll move on now.
Sandor Sunneson: yes
chris107: Cool
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will head back to boat
Smon: GM: The next day 9/6 passes quickly as Orson & Ajax complete their trades, half the slave girls are sold and batches of spices are brought aboard. Orson speaks with a hungover Anewein and agrees to take her to Rallu.
Smon: 10/6 Dawn
Smon: The ship readies to leave on the dawn tide. On the quayside, Anewein is saying farewell to Priestess Filmathiel and Filmathiel's daughter, Princess Moonsilver.
Smon: You can see the three elf women conferring, casting occasional looks in your direction.
chris107: M busies himself with mundane tasks and tries to look like a servant
Smon: Orson watches them. "Best to stay in with Diancecht... and their gold is good." he grins to himself.
Sandor Sunneson: Point taken, thank you Orson
Smon: Anewein comes aboard, smiling to you. "Good morning!"
Smon: She tosses her red hair.
Smon: "Fine day, isn't it?"
Sandor Sunneson: It is, how's the head?
Smon: "Better..." It looks like being a hot and sunny day as the Buxom Wench casts off from Klerkenwell docks and heads south-east along the eastern shore of the Fingers of Oricha.
chris107: M respectfully touches his forelock in silent greeting
Sandor Sunneson: Hopefully you'll feel at home amongst us outcasts as we head to Rallu
Smon: "Outcasts?" She looks puzzled.
Sandor Sunneson: Me the Skandik, the wizard and the elf
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Sandor Sunneson: and a bunch of sailors
Sandor Sunneson: hardly a normal day at the office
Smon: "Well I'm a Ranger of the Grove, I've travelled a fair bit and dealt with Men, Elves and Dwarves..."
Sandor Sunneson: And a red haired elf to bring respect to the ship
Sandor Sunneson: Guess you won't be touching the liquor again
Smon: (who's talking Fergus?)
Smon: (Sandor?)
Sandor Sunneson: sorry Sandor
Sandor Sunneson: What is the Grove ? It's not an area I am familiar with coming from the north
Smon: "The Grove of the Rising Sun? Surely you've heard of it? The most sacred site in all the Wilderlands!"
chris107: Has Maglor heard of it?
Smon: "We Rangers and the Grove are dedicated to Cilborith, God of Elvenkind"
Smon: yes any Anatal elf would have heard of it, on the cliffs east of Diancecht.
chris107: He makes the appointed gestures at the mention of Cilborith
Smon: [i](3506) Grove of the Rising Sun (Citadel): Magical; AL CG; TL 6; Population 52 (13 temple guards Ranger Scouts are the citadel’s main defenders; the remainder are scholars and scribes or priests Clr 1-3); Isolated (elf 85% [mostly high and southern], half-elf 10%, other 5%); Authority Figure: Filmathiel,female elf [gray] CG Clr5. Important Characters: Anewein, female elf [southern] CG Rgr (captain of temple guards). Maegladher, Elf Ranger Scout, and his giant rat Galadan (met Mordred & co on Bratanis-Skygod road 3/3/47 while investigating rumours of events in the North). Image result for elf ranger Maegladher, Elf Ranger The temple is a holy grove devoted to Cilborith the elven Image result for old female elf Priestess Filmathiel of the Rising Sun Anewein the Ranger god. The temple is oriented so that the rising sun illuminates the interior of the grove. Filmathiel, sometime consort of King Kambdum & mother of Princess Crystal, is the current priestessof the grove. She is concerned over the arrival of the Amiondel Elves at Ludgates, and is considering calling a council of the local communities to deal with them. She has charged Anewein, leader of her temple guards, to scout out the Ludgates elves and find out as much information as she can.[/i]
Sandor Sunneson: No, there are sunnites I have heard of from the darker variety and I would rather not be in their presence Sandor says
Smon: Anewein tells you all about the Grove and her charged mission to find out more concerning the Amiondel.
chris107: (OOC - about another half hour for me guys)
Smon: (perfect)
Sandor Sunneson: cool
Smon: (will stop 9.30)
chris107: Cool
Smon: Anewein: "Anything you find out about the Amiondel, let us know - you'll be well rewarded."
chris107: (A nice new enemy )
Sandor Sunneson: We shall take that on board, do you know where in Rallu where you are going or you going to just look around ?
Sandor Sunneson: Have a word with Ajax, he might be able to keep you right coming from there
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor says
Smon: GM: That evening 60 miles from Klerkenwell you reach the headlands on the SE tip of Oricha. Orson points out a small coastal fortress on the cliffs. "That's Southpoint Watch - southernmost post of the Klerkenwell dwarves. They use it to stand watch on the Amiondel. West of there in the Fingers is all Amiondel territory..."
chris107: M mentally notes all this for his reports
Smon: Anewein chats with Sandor. "Thanks for the advice - well I'm to seek an audience with King Danstone, I have a small gift from my King Kambdum, some opals..."
Sandor Sunneson: very precious
Smon: She opens a silk pouch and shows Sandor a mound of glistening blue opals.
Sandor Sunneson: If you want, we can accompany you for this scouting, won't be Ajax, but me and your fellow elf over there
Sandor Sunneson: Beautiful, very sparkly!
Smon: GM: As the sun sets west across the Fingers of Oricha, great spurs of land striking out into the gulf, your ship heads into open waters across the wine-dark sea.
Sandor Sunneson: So I hear Rangers have animals in toe ?Is this true?
Smon: Ahead in the light of the setting sun are small islands, and beyond the dark craggy land mass of the Isle of the Blest.
Smon: "Scout out the Amiondel you mean?"
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 15,

Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 3,
Sandor Sunneson: Yeah, such information is always of use
Sandor Sunneson: We know nothing about them, so they know nothing about us either
Smon: The wind swings to the north-east, trying to drive you into the Fingers of Oricha - and Amiondel waters.
chris107: Eek
Smon: Orson: "Grrr! Krabbe, use your magic! Get us out of here!"
Smon: The ship struggles as it's pushed towards two islands that almost block the narrow gulf between Southpoint Watch to the north, and the northmos headland of the Isle of the Blest to south.
Smon: Orson: "Make for the lee of that island!"
chris107: M helps out however he can
Smon: "All hands on deck!"
Smon: The crew work hard on the sails.

Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 15,
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax and Sandor will also help where they can
Smon: Success... the ship slips into the narrow channel between the rugged wooded islands.
chris107: Phew!
Smon: Orson spots a welcoming bay. "There! Set anchor! We'll ride it out there..."
Smon: The ship swings round into a narrow sandy bay ringed by tall trees, their heads whipping in the gale.
chris107: Maglor looks relieved
Smon: Anchor is set as full dark falls.
Smon: Orson wipes sweat from his brow.
Smon: He eyes the trackless beach, the dark pines beyond. "Islands... I never trust 'em."
Smon: Orson eyes you. "I need men to check out this island, make sure there's nothing dangerous here."
chris107: Are we within say... a bow shot of the pines?
Smon: longbow, easy.
Smon: hundred yards or so, 300'.
chris107: M quietly shifts towards any kind of cover
Sandor Sunneson: We will
chris107: He feels very uneasy
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax comes forward saying he has Darkvision
Sandor Sunneson: (from CF spellbook)
Smon: Extreme range for shortbow or light x-bow, in longbow or heavy x-bow range
Smon: Anewein: "I'm an Elf... I can see in the dark, too."
chris107: Maglor will of course do whatever his masters instruct.
Sandor Sunneson: Ane, do you see anything untoward?
Smon: She eyes the pines. The ground beneath them is sheltered.
Smon: Who has perception +5 or higher?
chris107: Me
chris107: +8
Smon: "I can see the glowbugs starting to come out..." Maglor sees them too, little lights moving amidst the trees.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax will cast darkvision on Sandor
Smon: Orson: "We can't be more'n thirty miles from Ludgates here, and Southpoint Watch is five miles across the north strait... perfect place for the Amiondel to set spies..."
Sandor Sunneson: We shall see if we see anything in the canopy cover up to the beach area
Sandor Sunneson: border between pines and beach
Sandor Sunneson: be on alert, everyone
chris107: Maglor is very alert
Smon: Orson: "This isle's only a mile or two wide - search over to the north side of the isle. That'd be where the Amiondel would set camp to spy on the dwarves at Southpoint..."
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, lets head, any of your crew coming Orson?
chris107: He nods.
Smon: OOC You are at 4122 on map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSW9WiDipEi86kGsSvb0shGwYcrBBwGLy8nfyQvYj2pcL8TQUn-ZJzShyHeYxax1KpZSbx0PPJ1_8BqkX9atX9ulfrW6FQ60kSmXOWAxjhyphenhyphenxHUmm52_GKDaYRqr2mC1AzPA23Y7wUtKqM/s1600/Orichala.png
