While getting the preparations ready Kel found a thread and needle, as well as a 5 pound box of cotton, he would remember this for now before returning with the supplies to the captain
The time has come to launch the boats. The Captain will brief everyone in his quarters.
” the objective is to reach Harpy Breast Island quietly and unseen. Each boat will take a separate course to reduce the chance of being spotted if they have any look outs on the beach. If when we get closer we spot any activity we will wait between nearer small rock islands until dusk and then slink on in. Mr Eclipse, the Bosun has spoke highly of your abilities and so you shall head up boat 2 with Mr Throgg and the Cook Zerk Sseaz. Sinmana will also accompany you on boat 2, but will not be under your command. She has independent status…some red shirts will also accompany you under your command so your boat will be complete.”
he will hand Eclipse a copy of the map, it has few labels but you can easily see the objective
The Captain will go on to say, “ in Boat 1 will be myself, the lovely Lagazara, our patron Thagal and the brilliant Mr Kel along with more red shirts. The Bosun and the rest will ensure the ships safety until our return. I am not sure what these merchants are up to, but it has the look of something profitable “

” understand your task Mr Eclipse? “
“Aye, Captain, clear and bright as daylight on whitest marble.”
(# of bearings to goal: 7)
Eclipse’s long whiskers twitch with excitement.
“Let us heaD west southwest, with the goal of keeping out of sight of the merchantman by maintaining a piece of the harpy’s Isle between us and her,” he says.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
( Throgg str check)
Zerk will keeps his eyes peeled on the water and the shoreline of these jagged rock islands. Who knows what kinds of things could be lurking. Perception 5.
Zerks attention was drawn to the beautiful form of Sinmana and his mind marveled out how similar she looked to her sister though they were from different mothers..
Zerk will keeps his eyes peeled on the water and the shoreline of these jagged rock islands. Who knows what kinds of things could be lurking. Perception 2.
Throgg attempts to paddle the boat quickly but too late realizes he was holding the oar upside down.
The Captain shows you how its done and makes it a whole mile. This turn.
2 turn-
How have we come… this way?, Eclipse wonders. Blast the Fates and the Furies, I’ll get there first.
”Come now men, 5 gold to the one who pushes us hardest to our goal! We continue North, and then 20 degrees on a gnome’s compass to port after we pass the far tip of this rock!”
Kel keeps a good eye out while the crew rows the boat very efficiently, the redshirt sailors are very good at their jobs. He doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary and pints out some submerged rocks that needed to be avoided.

2nd heading: Perception 23
The promise of gold and clearly enunciated directions have the desired effect and boat 2 drives in the exact direction prescribed.
Throgg, still confused on how to paddle, is now holding the oar correctly but pulls it through the water using the thin edge instead of the flat side.
(Round 2 - Athletics: 7)
Throgg gives it a go, mostly correcting his oars angle but finds it difficult to get a good purchase. Seems like the oarlock might be faulty or loose so the. Boat only makes it a 2nd 1/4 mile this turn
Zerk scans the surroundings looking for anything dangerous. Perception: 10.

Eclipse issues his first heading commands but it seems it got lost in translation and instead of south west, boat 2 heads northwest instead.
( Throgg str check)

(Str check - 2)
Throgg is his excitement to be working fumbles the oar and messes up the stroke timing . Boat 2 only makes 1/4 miles this turn
Boat 1 Str - 21.
The Captain shows you how its done and makes it a whole mile. This turn.
2 turn-
Kel would keep working hard while on the ship and give it a row. 15 (strength check)
( your supposed to be looking for danger, your efforts on the oars are appreciated by the redshirts but roll perception to see if you spot anything)
