What shall we do with the Drunken Sailor – a Nautical themed set of Adventures in the Moonshae Islands

Survival: (OOC: Iv'e got to be able to roll something decent for survival soon :()) 21

Fortunately you are able to find a small rivulet which you can determine the direction it is flowing. You follow it downstream and after about 10 minutes of swamp bashing eventually reach the waters of the bay. The island you pulled the boat up on is about 250 yards away and after what seems an eternity of more swamp bashing but is probably no more than another 10 minutes you get back to the island where you moored the boat.

We board and Gilly rows back.

To those back on board. After about 40 minutes you see the long boat with Gilly and Tiro aboard appear from out of the marshes heading back to the ship.

Zin, who had been standing on deck watching the coast, calls to the others that Gilly and Tiro are on their way back.

Ok - i'm back on deck but the question is what do you guys want to do?

"You gone long time. What do? You see queen?" Thrash would ask as the two climb back aboard the ship. 

Gilly shakes his head, water droplets flying off, despite him not being in water. "Afraid not. We tried to follow them, but got lost. I guess we'll just have to be patient and wait for tomorrow. Do you know where we're supposed to go?" he asks Thrash.

"We should plan who goes tomorrow and who stays to look after the ship. We, the tritons, have a mutual enemy with the lizardmen, the Sahuagin. So I would like to go and talk to their queen." says Tiro.

And the ship continues to rock gently in the swells of the small bay where it is anchored.

"I'm willing to stay with the ship if needed." Zin offers. 

"I'm not sure my particular skill set will be of much use talking to the lizards, so I might be best to stay on the boat with Zin" says Griff

"I think that just about settles it then, Zin, Griff and Hallard stay on the boat, keeping their eye on the boat's former crew, and watching out for any intruders that may come by. Thrash, Gilly and myself will take the weapons and the lizard people coins in the boat to the Lizard people camp. We'll set out first thing in the morning, so let us set up the night watches now. How about, Gilly and Thrash to start, Griff and Zin for the middle watch and myself and Hallard to finish? If we are agreed, I will retire and prepare for the morrow."

"Yes! Thrash go. We all go but him" The lizardfolk would say pointing towards the first mate. "Leave mate behind watch ship. We all take weapons and offer service to queen" 

Gilly leans in to Thrash, speaking quietly, "I'm not sure that's wise. He might still be loyal to his former captain."

"one man not sail ship alone" Thrash would reply. "where he going to go to?"

Gilly shakes his head. "I still don't think it's a good idea to leave him alone on the ship."

Hallard will happily stay with the ship.

(OOC: Normally I wouldn't try and influence party decisions but felt it only fair to warn you that if any party members elect to stay with the ship they could be out of play for some time!)

OOC: that was kind if what I assumed. Not going to lie.. Thrash wasnt doing much during the first expedition lol.
