Tales from Talaveroth

"Then keep them eyes closed..... Hey! Get the medics ready! Got one bleeding out here!"

Si'Juul carries him directly to the Mobius's deck, setting him down next to either Elhanna or Helga, whoever happens to be closer.

"Is that everyone?"

(Are anymore still in the water or are they all either on a lifeboat or the rope?)

They are all out of the water for now...though the rope is looking kind of perilous. Twitch was going to try to wind up the winch the rope is attached to after dumping the stew, but there's only so much a gnome rogue with a strength of 8 can do on her against the weight of over twenty sailors...

Someone needs to make a strength check on the winch...

Si'Juul will land near Twitch to help with the winch.

Strength check: 7, if adv. is applied since there's two of us working it, then: 13

Twitch's strength check for the winch: 2

Oh a lot has happened since last i logged on D: 

Elhanna leave the man she is tending to when Si’Juul call out and meet them where they land. She take a quick look over the man before she starts working. 

medicin check: 15 

 Then she start to tie bandages around the bloodied part to stop the bleeding. Then the bleeding slows down she clean it with sting alcohol and start to stitch him up. 

“This is going to hurt” she tell the man. 

S'Juul and Twitch are still struggling with he winch...

Eight more sailors manage to climb aboard! Nineteen are still strung on the rope.

With more blood in the water,  3 of the sharks turn on their wounded companions...3 new sharks arrive!!

Attack: 6 Damage: 5

Attack: 10 Damage: 6

Attack: 10 Damage: 10

Blinded by the water pollution (stew), none of them do any damage to each other.  The remaining sharks attempt to jump up to the rope...thanks tot he efforts of Twitch and S'Juul, it's no lower than before...but no higher, either.

17    5    12    2    20    3

 EDIT:  Whoops, changed a typo and all the rolls changed.  No big deal, it's all history already. 3 sharks attacked each other and missed, 3 new sharks arrived, two made their dex checks to jump to the rope.

Edit again...and now they changed back anyway. XD

(Should we make another strength check?)

Only two sharks jump high enough to attack the dangling sailors!

Attack: 7 Damage: 4

Attack: 18 Damage: 4

One manages to leave toothmarks on a sailor's foot.

Paren is up!

Sure, go ahead. ^^

Paren, in the definition of insanity, keeps firing the ballista. 

Attack: 16 + Bless: 3  Damage: 6

((It all comes back around! 16 damage!))

Strength check:13

(Apparently that's all the strength I am allowed to give :P )

Paren, finally getting the hang of aiming the ballista, blows one of the sharks into chum!

Twitch is doing what she can to aid Paren (roll with advantage).

((Think you meant Si'Juul. Paren is shooting, Si'Juul is the one pulling on the rope.))

Seeing Si’Juul and Twitch struggling with the winch so she let go of the bless spell and Rush over to them. “Let me help you with that.” She say to Si’Juul and lay a hand on his shoulder. 

She cast guidance

Yep, looking good.  Si'Juul, roll again for advantage with help, and add Guidance, too.

 (The 13 was with advantage, but I will roll for guidance now, total:17)

Together, Si'Juul and Twitch manage to pull the rope a bit tighter, keeping it out of shark reach.  One by one, the sailors climb the rope to end on the deck of the Mobius.  The lifeboats return. Thogg climbs back aboard, and his twin brother Ogg tosses the sailors in the boats up to him one by one. As the boats are pulled back aboard, nothing remains below but frustrated sharks, hunting for anything to get their teeth into (a few of the most desperate ones even try the stew) and the overturned ship.

A halfling makes his way to Captain Haba. "Sir, I am most grateful to you and your crew for the rescue! I am Fredan Pennywhistle, captain of the Green Dolphin. I believe that my ship can be righted and saved.  I don't believe the hull was breached, and it would probably have returned to an upright position on its own if the cargo had not shifted. The Dolphin carries a load of lead ingots, extremely heavy.  We are near Coral Island.  Is there any chance you could help me, and tow the Dolphin to the island?"

Captain Haba ponders before saying gruffly, "We are low on stores as it is, and the addition of your crew makes it worse. Even if we can right your ship, hauling it will make the trip to the island take days longer, on short rations."

"There are plenty of stores aboard the Dolphin," Captain Pennywhistle says quickly. "We only recently put out to sea.  And if the ship were saved, I could repay your generous assistance with half our cargo.  If we abandon the Dolphin, I am afraid we are merely beggars taking advantage of your charity."

The captain ponders some more. Finally he shrugs.  "This is a mechanical problem, and therefore the province of the ship's carpenter. Twitch! See if anything can be done." He goes below, and the halfling captain looks at you with big, sad, pleading puppy-dog eyes.

Si'Juul shakes his head.

"Ever the useless prick, the captain....he had to be..... convinced....to even spare a single thought on rescuing you.......I recommend directing all comments and questions to her.....", and he points to Twitch. Then returns to the railing and gazes out towards the direction of Coral Island.

Paren nods as well. "Our feathered friend is right. If you want anything done on this ship it's best to avoid the Captain."
