Eon: Survival at Sea.

"thank you:

Imras nods at Josiah's comment.  Thank you for healing Leo.  Hopefully one of these two can tell us what's going on.

"Thank you. Alright Captain, would you please come down from the tree now?" Tyrvan walks up to the base of the tree and looks up at the captain. 

Leo coughs and comes to consciousness thanks to Josiah. He groggily looks up and gives a weak smile at all of you. "Thank you Josiah." He nods at you and looks around. Kron, hiding in the tree finally descends and Looks at the Crew. It is Kron, you know him well and he looks the same. He stumbles as he descends "Right, uh Crew of the Venture!" He addresses the three of you Imras,Tyrvan and brythel. "I know that this may be odd, But as your captain I order you to Kill the First mate." Kron points at the barely alive Leo, Who grabs for his blade but is far to weak to even get it out of its sheath. 

Josiah, Leo weakly whispers something that only you can hear. A trail of blood runs down his chin. "He's gone Mad, I know who you were before Josiah. You told me on the beach the day we buried Bean and Torla. You're the leader they need. You can save them. You can get them off the Island." He hands you the hilt of his blade.

Tyrvan looks back and forth between Kron and Leo, and pulls his dagger, "Yeah. I don't think I'm going to just kill anyone cause they said so. You may have been captain on the ship. But in case you haven't noticed the ship is gone. You've been gone for weeks. I'm going to need more than your "order" before I start sticking people." 

(In Thieves Cant to Irmas, Tyrvan is going to signal that Irmas move behind Kron to prevent his escape if he tries to run) 

"WHAT, n. no, I absolutely refuse to do that"

"Gods DAMN IT!!!" Josiah shouts out after a moment of building frustration, his bow once again coming up with an arrow aimed at Kron.  "There's been enough killing for one day!  Something far stranger than I first realized is going on here, and I think it's messing with all of our minds.  At the very least I know that you three," he motions with his elbow towards Imras, Tyrvan, and Brythel, "have only been here a few days, not the weeks you suddenly seem to think it's been. And I sure as HELLS don't remember ever burying Torla and Bean, since I last saw them alive little more than an hour ago."

He casts a quick, pleading glance at the trio before refocusing on the captain.

"I suggest we all remain calm and be a bit open minded as we talk this out."

"but, it has been weeks, or, I I I, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS" 

(OCC: I did miss the comment. I'll edit to remove that bit) 

Imras looks shocked at the captain's order.  Everybody needs to just calm down!  Nobody is killing anyone right now.  He sees Josiah raise his bow again and steps between the ranger and the captain.  That includes both of you,  He says to Josiah.  Then, speaking back to the captain, What's going on.  Why do you want us to kill Leo?  He just helped us a few days ago.  Something Josiah said registers.  Wait, a few days?  What are you talking about?  I can remember everything thats happened for a couple weeks now. 

Tyrvan nods along with Irmas, "Yeah. It's definitely been a few weeks. We were out at sea for almost a week. Then on the beach and the cave for another week or so. Not days."

Shifting a few steps to keep his arrow trained on Kron, but not moving too far away from Leo, Josiah nods to Imras.

"That's what I'm saying.  I know for a fact you all have only been here on this island for a few days, and yet now you suddenly remember it being weeks.  And your captain suddenly wants his first mate killed, after trusting him enough to send him out looking for you all.  And Leo suddenly seems to think Bean and Torla are dead, buried on the beach before any of you even arrived.  Obviously, SOMETHING beyond all of our control is going on here."

Meanwhile, Elder Leo takes a moment to think. still with his blade to *****'s neck. "You better thank Her *****, she just saved your life." He pulls the blade away and sheaths it, there is a trail of dried blood on his chin that was not there before. He allows ***** to stand, She does so and brushes some dirt and dried leaves off of her. "T-thank you Dwa-I mean Torla." She meekly says, You notice know that before she was confident and demanding but in the Presence of Leo. She is almost child-like in the sense that she is afraid of him and will not talk out of turn. 

"Now, Bring me to the others." Leo orders the elven Woman.

I agree something is definitely wrong.  The captain would never want Leo dead without good reason.  And Leo is obviously remembering something that never happened, given that we just saw Torla and Bean a short time ago.  So we all need to just CALM DOWN, lower our weapons, and talk this out and try to figure out what's going on.  Leo is obvious no threat right now.  He's barely conscious and just handed over his weapon anyway.  Imras keeps moving to stay between Josiah and Kron.

"Let's not forget you trying to murder us. Look you've been here far longer than we have. Look all three of us know for a fact it's been weeks. The three of us remembering correctly is more likely than you. So whether its been weeks or days or whatever. Seems to me that whatever is going on on this island, it's messing with you most of all given what you've told us about why you shot at Torla." 

Turning to Kron, "Captain. Our associate here is awful twitchy with his bow. So it'd be best if you sat down until we figure out why you want us to kill the first mate. I wouldn't want you to make a bad move and sprout feathers." 

Kron looks nervously between you all, he is constantly flicking his fingers and has trouble standing still. He is not responding to anybody, but does seem to be thinking about something.

To get his point across, Josiah sidesteps again (back closer to Leo this time) and fires his arrow.  In the blink of an eye, an arrow now sticks out of the ground not two inches from Kron's booted foot, and another arrow is already nocked in Josiah's bow, once again trained on the captain.

"Your crew member speaks true.  I have plenty of reason to be twitchy with my bow.  Will you stand down and retract your orders or not?"

(I really want to insight check someone but I don't feel like it'd do much good :P.  I didn't hear Leo actually talk, and the captain already clearly look slike something is wrong.  And my guess is Leo fully believes what he said anyway, so...)

Josiah, if you don't lower your bow, this is going to end in blood.  Imras once again tries to grab Josiah's nocked arrow.  Acrobatics: 9

Acrobatics: 4

Josiah sidesteps again to evade Imras, this time successfully.  He then attempts to shove Imras back.

Athletics: 20

"I'll lower my bow as soon as I'm reasonably certain he won't try to kill anyone while we're talking this out."
