The Guild - Game Thread

The deity seems to not respond.

Just when some of the members of the party starts to ask themselves where the druid could be a dolphin appears at the starboard and jumps over the deck of the ship. In mid air, the dolphin form shifts and turns into Valwaryn's form. 

" That was incredible!" he says to Runt " Wish you could come with me" he says smiling. " Did I miss something? "

Only a pair making fools of themselves. Runt smiles I am sorry if i hurt you back at the castle. 

Valwaryn smiles back to Runt. 

" No worries about it. Everything is fine. What do you say if we find ourselves something to eat? " 

Runt nods in agreement. She follows the elf to get some food. 

Devarus frowns. "Another ship, perhaps already taken by our pirates then?" He speculates aloud. "Or maybe... a mole? I suppose no matter which, we'll need to stay extra vigilant." Upon turning fully to the captain, Devarus to snap into one of the salutes one of the crew members might've accidentally used around the captain, but stops in time. "I'll head back below and keep an eye on our guest. As soon as they're cognizant, we can question them then about what happened... assuming these waters has no other surprises for us." 

Once their man overboard is safe, Elsara will request to ritual cast Detect Magic in order to check there are no overlying ailments or magical effects on their mysterious passenger. Mainly, she's hoping they are not showing any Affectus Uti amongst other things.

Elsara casts the spell but she doesn't sense anything this time. It seems the man is not under any sort of spell. Though it was a good idea to check even if it came up negative this time. Better to be safe.

Elsara lets out a sigh of relief. "Okay, well I guess I'll go back to helping out where I can." She tells the ship's plague doctor. "Umm... I guess if you need an extra person to help, you can just call for me?" She'll leave on a hopefully positive note, trying to not feel too grossed out about the more painful aspects of what a plague doctor must do. With her detect magic still active, she'll wander down, keeping an eye out in case any mysterious auras pick up as she wanders around.

Not exactly a mysterious aura but she picks up an aura coming from the first mate's room and another aura coming from the Blaster. The Blaster's aura is from the school of Evocation and the other aura is from the school of Conjuration.

Elsara thinks it would be rude to intrude into someone's room, so will just make a mental note and carry on back to the others.

" A man in the water you say?" ask Valwaryn to Dev "Does he need help?" 

"Elsara and the doctor on aboard are seeing -- have seen to him. But I fear that one may be out for a while." Devarus sighs and shakes his head. "So, unless you have some special remedy to help hasten his recovery. I am afraid it is waiting game for us." He gives Val a grim look. "We may wish to stay vigilant now more than ever. At least until we have more answers.... Speaking of which. Might you have the means to lift this fog?" Devarus asked curiously of Val. 

"Hey Val!" Elsara wanders over, making sure her hood is up and cloak wrapped around to not get too wet. "Did you have a nice swim?"

“Only temporary” replies Val to Dev “wouldn’t do any good on the long term I am afraid” 

“Hi Elsara. It was great! Hope you can come sometime!” 

"I kinda prefer it being a little drier." Elsara notes the terrible weather that has been going on for days at this point. "But yeah, we should do that sometime!"

This weather feels like home to me. Runt interjects, attempting to contribute to a conversation for what seems like the first time. 

"Really?" Elsara looks over to Runt, happy for open forum in talking. "What is your home like? I've still not seen so much, and being brought up in a library most of the world I've seen in books and words."

(NOTE TO DM: I  hope i am remembering your topography correctly. its been a while since we discussed it)

My clan wanders the northern mountain ranges. Mist this heavy is not uncommon. They often proceed storms, which we see as omens of our god. 

Elsara listens intently, trying to visualise what it would be like living there. "Wow, I guess it's not too bad if you're on the mountainside, flooding wouldn't really happen." She comments. "But is it always a good omen with a storm, or are there different types of storms that mean different things?" She seems quite eager to learn more about Runt's culture, making mental notes.
