The 2nd Fleet: Journey to the Edge of the Known World — IC

[Fialova]

Caoimhe is momentarily struck with awe as the large creature comes into view. It's fascinating, she thinks, before her she is actually struck by the beast before her. She lashes out in retaliation, but in her distracted state she is unable to make the hit land. Aiming to keep the weakened creature's attention, she rushes towards the new, larger creature in hopes that she can help keep that one away from her beloved as well.

Zima tries her best to focus her mind's power on the massive creature before her, but a primal fear has set in — sapping her own will instead.

Emboldened by the momentum of her companions' efforts in pushing the terrible beast back, Zima concentrates once more on its unfamiliar mind. You will know anguish, you will know agony, she wills of the creature, burdening it momentarily with the insight of sentience — and the gnawing pain of sympathy from its assault on her people.

Mechanics

Standard
Mind Thrust (Augment 1) on Maned Carnosaur. Hits 25 vs Will for 9 psychic damage, and the enemy has a -3 to Will until the EOMNT.
Mind Thrust Attack: [1d20+10]=15+10=25
Mind Thrust Damage: [1d10+7]=2+7=9

Move
Walk to P24

Ready Interrupt
Intellect Fortress, should I be hit by an attack that a +3 to that defense would negate.

Louie knocks the creature back once more but it simply moves back towards Caoimhe. It let's out an almighty terrifying roar as it does, enough to unnerve even the most battle hardened among you.

[Fialova]

"I am-" Caoimhe begins, before wincing in pain. She carefully lowers herself to the ground as she begins to tend to her numerous wounds. "I am alright, enaid. Or at least I will be." She gazes around at the fresh corpses of the strange creatures that had attacked them, pondering the destination of the one that had gotten away.

"These things... they are dangerous, but too few in number to have brought this place to ruin. Either there are many more of them out there, or something else must have caused the abandonment of this camp. It is puzzling," she muses, as she begins to rest her head against Zima. Truly a mystery. Hopefully we can avoid whatever fate befell them.

"There must be more, and maybe even other kinds of beasts than these," Zima surmises. "The claw marks on the sentry tower, Louie — do they match these creatures that attacked us?" When Caoimhe is done bandaging herself, Zima helps her to her feet.

"We should take care to ensure the rest of the ruins are free of predators. We do not want our people to be in danger while they unload and set up camp."
 

[Scratcherclaw]

Louie breathes a sigh of relief as they finally fell the creature. Thank the gods... As Zima's suggestion, he kneels down to check the claws on the felled beast, seeing if they match those he'd examined on the tower before.

[Namelessjake]

Louie

Examining the creatures claws, you find that they would be too small to be responsible for the gashes torn into the wooden sentry tower.

Ilmoto

As you gather some samples from the beast's corpse, you collect a vial of its saliva which you are confident could be applied to a weapon adding the saliva's corrosive properties to its next attack.

Mechanics

Maned Carnosaur Saliva

Attack: +8 vs Fortitude; ongoing 5 acid damage and weakened (save ends both)

[Scratcherclaw]

Louie shakes his head, an uneasy frown spread across his face. "No," he says anxiously towards Zima. "Whatever made the marks on the tower..." He pauses, imagination running wild with ideas. "...is larger than this."

[FinalTemplar]

Taliesin drops to a knee as the beast finally stops living, and takes a moment to catch his breath. "I'll be fine." He gave a soft smile, appreciative of the magic she had expended allowing him to finish the fight. He took a moment, grabbed a cloth and some liquid, and gently began cleaning his blade, wiping away the blood and viscera that had coated it. "We may have enough information now to properly report the situation to Tofyr and the others." He sighs softly, looking around at the empty camp. "I wish we could find out exactly what happened here." He says softly.

Mechanics

Process short rest, regain powers, spend 2 heal surges, heal for 26 (cap out).

[ratwizard]

Zima nods to Taliesin, content for now that her companions are not too gravely injured. Her throat tightens at Louie's findings. "I suppose we shall have little need of this ocular device to spot it, then," she says, flatly.

"Let us perform a final sweep of these ruins, and then return to Tofyr."

[BartNL]

"Yes, we should do a last sweep to be sure." Ilmoto replies at Zima.
"What was that about an even larger creature Llewellyn?"

[Fialova]

Caoimhe frowns as Louie mentions the creature from the tower, her imagination doing its best to form an image of what might have caused the marks. "If there are larger, more aggressive creatures to be found in these forests, then I'd say the first priority - once the camp is established - should be to build defenses. We should make sure Tofyr passes this along, so work can begin immediately. Clearly these beasts are not accustomed to outsiders in this area, and are looking to roam unhindered. I cannot imagine they will take kindly to several hundred souls suddenly appearing on this shore."

[ratwizard]

"Yes, defenses," Zima agrees. "I would like to be a part of that effort. Protecting our people from hostile wildlife was an ever-urgent demand in Peregozupale. This port town presents a much more... vertical challenge than the caverns I come from, but I may have some unorthodox ideas." The seer smiles proudly.

She waves a hand toward the rest of the ruins, yet combed through. "Let us be moving once more," she urges.

[Namelessjake]

With the dilapidated courtyard area secured, you head closer to the ruins of the building. From this side of the structure, there appear to be a few doors that lead inside, as well as several large holes in the crumbled walls. Inside appears to be dark and overgrown near the holes in the walls, with grass and vines attempting to reclaim the structure on nature's behalf.

There are also the damaged stairs that ascend around the courtyard and up in the upper levels of the main building, which appear challenging but climbable.

[Scratcherclaw]

"Let's tread carefully though. Last thing we need is an accidental injury," Louie says with a cautious glance toward the ruined building. "I'm not sure what clues will be left if this is the state of this building though." Maybe the upstairs had some sort of living quarters though.

 

[ratwizard]

"The stairway upwards looks treacherous. Though the entire building looks prone to crumbling apart at a moment's notice," Zima warns. "Perhaps the bottom is safest to start with."

[FinalTemplar]

With his blade quickly wiped clean and resheathed, he walks along with the others, taking in his surroundings deeply. Truthfully, if he were to say, it is hard not to get lost in it all; the land of his ancestors. As they walk he tries to dream of what their villages may have looked like, what their clothes looked like, what their voices sounded like. The smells of food roasting, or soup cooking.

He is brought back to the present by the sound of talking. Keeping his voice down as though to not bring about the future Zima warns of, he responds; "I agree. Down below, and when we return we can let our expert climber take the upstairs. I could try to go with him, perhaps."

[Fialova]

"I've climbed my fair share of trees, some dilapidated stairs should not be too hard," Caoimhe responds. "I can come too, though we should all make the trip one at a time. We need not test the limits of the structure's remaining strength after so long spent deteriorating outdoors."

Nodding at her lover's words, she adds, "but I agree that we should stick to the ground level first. I doubt creatures like we just faced would have much interest in the higher reaches of the building, and I'd very much like to not be surrounded by more of them should we come toppling through a floorboard to the ground level."

[Namelessjake]

You press on, heading into the building through one of the holes in the walls. The air is musty inside, the smell a mix of rotting wood and decomposing carcasses. As your eyes adjust to the low light levels you are able to make out the gnawed bones which litter the floor. In this room makeshift cots line the walls, likely temporary housing for the workers building the structure, but the room is still dark and you are unable to make out much more.

At one end a door sits ajar, leading deeper into the building. A faint shuffling sound can be heard coming from behind the door, something like a small animal would make.

[Scratcherclaw]

Louie grimaces as the odor wafts past his nose, recoiling for a moment as its origin becomes clear. Do I even want to know what those bones belong to? His eyes dart to the door ahead as he hears the skittering within. "Let's not split up too much. We don't know what's lurking about." And even the smallest creature can be deceptively dangerous.

 

[ratwizard]

Zima's throat tightens at the sight of the gnawed bones underfoot, but her attention is kept forward once she hears the skittering of what she assumes is a small animal. "Careful, we are not alone," she warns. The seer takes a torch from her pack, lighting it with a chip of flint.

OOC

Darkness, be gone! Anything else of note once the room is illuminated?

[Namelessjake]

Zima's torch bathes the room in its warm glow, illuminating the dark corners of the room. Now with a light source you can make out a small wooden chest at the foot of one of the cots on the other side of the room.

[BartNL]

Ilmoto starts searching the room for traces of magic, making sure to give the chest some extra attention.

Mechanics

[1d20+12]=20+12=32 Arcana check to find magic.

[ratwizard]

The small, wooden chest catches Zima's eyes, but she keeps her attention toward where she heard the animal noises. "Caoi-caoi, could you perhaps secure that door? Just in case."

She steps closer to the center of the room, allowing Ilmoto to perform his search while she helps to illuminate the surroundings.

[Namelessjake]

Ilmoto

You inspect the room and find it devoid of any magical presence. However you sense a powerful source of magic, emanating from deeper into the building, in the same direction as the source of the shuffling sounds.

[FinalTemplar]

Taliesin adjusts as Zima mentions they are not alone, shifting his walk to make his steps a little quieter. "What do you all see?" He asks, looking around.

[BartNL]

"There is a strong magic presence deeper into the building." Ilmoto says, as he thoroughly examines the chest for more conventional traps.

Info

Is the chest locked?

[Scratcherclaw]

"That's... concerning," Louie says anxiously as Ilmoto explains the magic he's detected further ahead. "Another artifact? Or some kind of spell the last inhabitants put up? Let's just stay cautious."

 

[Namelessjake]

Ilmoto continues to examine the wooden chest, eventually opening in and looking inside.

Ilmoto

You find the chest to be a crude and simple design, devoid of any lock. Opening the hewn wooden container you find it contains a set of fine carpentry tools, likely of dwarven make. Along with the tools are a pair of work gloves and what appears to be a small velvet coin purse.

[Fialova]

"Sure, enaid," Caoimhe responds to Zima, wearing a smile despite her worry. She slowly makes her way towards the door in question, aiming to stay as silent and unseen as she can as she makes her approach. Hopefully this rustling is a creature wholly unlike the ones we've come across so far. Surely there must be some creatures in this land that do not want to kill us.

Mechanics

Stealth to approach the door undected: [1d20+6]=1+6=7 lmao no

[ratwizard]

Zima watches both Ilmoto and Caoimhe with an anxious energy. As she waits, she peers about the room itself, her eyes falling upon the gnawed bones littering the floor. Are those...?

OOC

Wait, hold up, you said there were gnawed bones everywhere? What the fuck are we looking at here?

[Namelessjake]

OOC

The bones don't appear to be humanoid in origin.

[BartNL]

"Carpentry tools, dwarven made I believe, useful." Ilmoto says, while pocketing the tools and gloves. After taking the tools, he carefully takes a look at what's in the small purse.

[Namelessjake]

As Caoimhe approaches the door she accidentally kicks one of the bones in the carrion littering the floor. The noise it makes is enough to alert any wary creatures that someone is approaching, however there is no noticeable response from whatever lurks behind the door.

Ilmoto

Opening the coinpurse you find it contains, unsurprisingly, a number of coins. In total you count twelve gold pieces, eight silver and four copper.

The coins themselves seem to be a mix of Dwarven, Kurnish and Sakuran coins. However one coin catches your eye which doesn't appear familiar to you. The coin is crudely made, even compared to the Kurnish and Sakuran coins, let alone the Dwarven ones. It also appears to be made of a different metal, having a duller golden colour to it.

The images on either side of the coin are hard to decipher due to the poor metal casting, however one side appears to be a spear of some kind, while the other side is a symbol, a diamond shape with a dot in the middle.

[Scratcherclaw]

Louie feels some relief as he takes a closer look at bones, confirming they didn't belong to any of the former expedition. Thank the gods. That would be a gruesome discovery. He winces as Caoimhe alerts the creatures beyond the door, shooting her an uneasy glance. "Well there goes any surprise. Let's still take it slow."
