Shipwrecked in Saltmarsh

     "May as well make the climb as short as possible... Main Deck?" Fianna isn't sure of her lingo but the shortest climb does sound good to her. 

((I may have taken a healers kit, as I have one and am not sure from where...))

Nature: 6

As they get closer to the ship, Katernin whispers a quiet prayer to Ehlonna for help with whatever they find on this ship.

Oskar nods to Fianna and throws the hook. Dex check: 14

It slides for a bit, but then catches something atop the main deck. He tests it, and it holds. It's not a long climb.

"Who's goin' first?" he asks. "Won't be me." 

Fi'Finella reports all quiet on deck. She prepares to peek inside the door under the quarterdeck. 

     "Better first than last, so there's someone to catch me if need be," Fianna says and grabs the rope. 

If you want a roll? Athletics: 8

(Scaling the algae-slick hull of the ship without a rope would definitely require a roll; but Oskar's solid grappling hook and the new rope makes scaling it relatively easy.)

Fianna makes her way to the deck.

<Temple, altar> whispers Fi’Finella into Fianna's mind. You realize she has opened the door under the quarterdeck and peeked inside. <Many humanoid skulls on spikes. Garbage, baaad smells....> She quietly closes the door again.

Kelnan prepares himself with Mage Armor and follows. He doesn't want to be first on deck, but is eager to get going.

Dain will get on deck as early as possible. 

Molo will be right up front. Ready to explore, he heads for any cabins on the main deck first

Unless Katernin has other ideas, everyone has climbed aboard the sloped main deck of the Emperor. It is empty; short wooden stumps are all that remain of the ship’s masts, and the ship’s timbers are badly weathered and stained. All seems quiet.

There are two doors - one leading under the quarterdeck, the other under the forecastle - as well as a large rusty grate set into the deck. There are also staircases leading up to the quarterdeck and forecastle. Fi’Finella (Strength 6) couldn't open the door into the forecastle, but did peek into the one into the quarterdeck, and whispered telepathically to Fianna what she saw. 

Oskar and his crewmate row back to a safe distance - about 200 feet off the starboard side (the side of the vessel that rides high - it lists to port.) Soul of Winter remains at least 500 feet distant.

Dain will lead Molo to the door which leads under the forecastle and try and pull it open.

     Fianna shares the information Fi'Finella told her with the group once they were out of earshot of the dwarves - No reason to spook them more than they already are. "We should stay together and do a search of the ship first, to confirm we're the only ones on board.  Then we can search for the items we came here to look for..."

Dain finds that the door under the forecastle is most definitely stuck. He can make an Athletics check to wrench it open (or choose to smash it with his maul.)

Dain waits to confirm that everyone is happy with trying to open this door before he acts. He agrees we should stick together. 

Molo will help pull open the door

Katernin holds her axe out once she's on the ship, on edge.

Dain tries to rip the door open with Molo's aid (Athletics):   25

Dain and Molo practically tear the door under the forecastle clear off its hinges. It had been held shut by a thick mass of webbing behind it.

Sheets of webbing fill this room, such that anything more than about ten feet from the entrance appears as little more than a vague shape. You can make out a dark patch on the floor to port, and some vague static shapes forward, behind a mast.

Dain will progress into the room, carefully, eyes everywhere and maul held ready.

     Fianna will grab at Dain and try to restrain him a moment. (Up to him if he pauses or not.)  “Perhaps we should toss something into the webs first?  See if there’s a response before heading in ourselves?” She suggests.

     She bends and finds some loose bit or piece of garbage that she can toss at the back of the room, into the webs, if Dain does decide on caution.  Either way, she readies herself to send blasts at any web making beastie she may see…

Dain trusts Fianna's judgement and will wait to see the results.  But he's standing firmly in the doorway so anything which does stir has to come through him.
