"Hey, the dragons came out of the ocean. We didn't do anything to make them go nuts."

Marrin defends the group while trying to help with the rigging.

(Athletics or Acrobatics roll please)

Once she has her ring, Jan will quickly pitch in as best she's able to help get the ship underway.

Acrobatics:18

"Oh sure, now that we are safe aboard the Wish you decide to join us.  Right now, my hands are busy."  As Jan can see, her hands are wrapped around the rope and Ethel is wrapped around Ava.

(I find the whole idea of proper Ethel wrapping her arms around a wet, stinky shifter very funny)

With Ethel steading her, she tries to pull up the anchor again..

Athletics  9!

Turning back to Jan, "A little help?"

Jan manages to pop out and tie off some loose rigging quite easily. Perhaps the relaxing trip back from the Emperor let her recharge her batteries. The rest of the group is no help whatsoever.

Bigge does get the Wish moving though and the fog is thick so there's a chance the dragon wyrmlings won't come this way for a little while. Had they been adults, it's likely they would have pieced together what was really happening but young ones tend to be full of bravado and don't think anyone might be lying to powerful dragons like themselves.

Might help if the ship was as quiet as possible.

Marrin scrambles around, quietly, looking for a crossbow and some bolts.

Out of spells and unable to retreat to her ring, Jan doesn't need it back, but still feels uncomfortable not having it on her hand.

"I dare say if you need me to help you haul things, we're all in trouble."

Jan will try to lend her efforts to Ava's tugging.

((If you want further checks from her...))

Once they get a move on, Avaria hands Jan her ring and takes a seat on deck, back against the railing.

Her eyes are closed as she feels the breeze against her fur.  Her thoughts drifting to their capture and feeling so good to be free and now away from that undead ship.

Jan thanks Ava, and unless Bigge calls for other ship needs, checks and preps her crossbow, keeping an eye out for any incoming trouble. She considers recalling K'oshash, but holds off for now.

For now the ship gets underway and Bigge gives stern looks to anyone making even a hint of noise above breathing. He can't help the creak of the timber and slight wind in the sails. 

But for now you can hear a few more crashes of wood and what sounds like a mast falling into the sea then quiet from the direction of the Emperor. 

You all have a few moments to catch your breath (short rest and level up without any dragons finding you at this point).

@Jan

HD: 3

((Getting back those 5 hp the zombie smashed out right off the bat.))

HD: 2  (Up to a robust new max of 17)

[Ethel casts False Life on herself, upcast to level 2, for a new Temp HP bonus of 12.  Recognizing that we are trying to be quiet, she can wait and this can be her first turn action if there is to be an upcoming combat.]

Jan pulls out the cloak that was taken from the ship, handing it quietly over to Ethel to have a look at.

HD: 7

(Sweet- leveling up!!)

[Is this cloak something that Ethel can examine during the short rest and get some idea of function?]

At this point the best Ethel can make out, is that despite how plain and simple the cloak looks, she can't find a single frayed strand, hole, cut, rip, nor any signs of wear and tear. She suspects magic at work, but it would probably take an evening (long rest) to really figure it out.

(DC 18 Arcana check - and someone may get more than that)

Marrin is still poking around for a crossbow,

"I can't keep throwing my dagger, I'm going to lose it eventually."

She explains, quietly to everyone.

If her hunt takes her by Ethel inspecting the cloak, she will give it a check.

Arcana: 15

She passes on what she knows before she continues her search.

If Marrin heads below she should find a light crossbow and some bolts.

Marrin is thrilled.

((Adding crossbow and 20 bolts.))
