"Let me show you how it's done, love."

Carrhae swings at the swarm, hoping to end this.

Sana17, Erriviel16, Kali11, Misha9, Carrhae8, Swarm5(4)

A crushing barbaric blow.

Misha stops and squashes the spider swarm with her hammer
Warhammer Attack: 12 Damage: 5
Bless: 4

Swarm squashed. The room is clear.

Cargo hold access: A wooden grate covers a hole in the deck that leads down to area 12. The grate is badly rotted and covered in webs. I would say pick one more room on this level and that's it for Away Team 1.

CARGO HOLD

This deck runs the length of the ship and features no bulkheads or walls. Dark, murky seawater fills it to a depth of three feet, sloshing against old, moldering crates piled against the ship’s port hull. The water that fills this area is difficult terrain for Medium characters. Small characters must swim while in the cargo hold.

Carrhae starts searching the room for any useful crates.

RESTING UP AND CHANGING TEAMS

Carrhae: Peeking in, you can see a large crate in the back of the cargo hold, yes.

Away team 1 returns to the ship.

"We encountered lots of spiders, webbing, and other..walking spiders.." Misha says to Team Two. "I have the feeling there ees more down there een the sheep, so we weel hef to be careful."

Away Team 2 = Sloop, Syltra, Chandor, Misha, and Wolf

Away Team 2 pilots the rowboat to the Emperor and climbs about AREA 1.

“What’s the plan, Cap’n?” Syltra asks before leaving.

AREAS 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been cleared. The first away team has found the hatch to the cargo hold in AREA 5. 

As Away Team One returns to the Belle, Kali looks noticeably exhausted. "Sorry to disappoint you, Captain, but that tea drinkin' will have to wait. I'm feelin' pretty beat after killin' all of those spiders for you." Carrhae understands and fireman-carries Kali to her room, helping the Barbarian get to bed, where she falls asleep rather quickly. She fills the second team in on what they found on the ship. "There are a large amount of spiders and ettercaps down there, as well as an altar to Lolth, which makes me think that there might be some Drow on the boat as well. Regardless, it seems like a massacre happened on that boat, so be careful and take these." She hands Syltra three potions of healing. "Misha can take you to the Cargo Hold, where you'll start searching for the box."

After briefing the Away Team, she retires to her room for some simple prayer before heading to bed.

Sloop excitedly hops on board the row boat, hoping to get some action as a valued member of “The Dream Team”. As they approach the grate leading to Area 5, he extends his kitty claws and begins to ease himself down into the cargo hold whilst clinging to the ceiling.

CARGO HOLD

This deck runs the length of the ship and features no bulkheads or walls. Dark, murky seawater fills it to a depth of three feet, sloshing against old, moldering crates piled against the ship’s port hull.

Misha casts Bless on herself, Sloop, and Wolf. Bane. My Lord General. Bless us with your strength, and your courage as we come closer to our prize and completing our mission. Bring us all honor and glory in your name.

There is movement under the water towards the crate.

“We’ll be careful but if we keep fighting like this I think we should look into upgrading weapons and getting stuff to help with our defenses and such.” WolF suggests as he keeps his ears perked up in case of more spiders attacking. 

Perception: 14

Four ghasts emerge from the water by Aubreck's crate! They all look like rotting pirates and advance!

Ghast1: 18
Ghast2: 7
Ghast3: 17
Ghast4: 7

Sloop drops down on top of the crate, and readies himself to attack any advancing ghasts. 

Initiative: 8

"Stay close, Snort Hog!" Misha tells Sloop, so, you know, backstabbing. "Old crew weesh to say hello!"

Misha: 9

She draws her shield and hammer.
