DragonDenn’s Theros Game

"I didn't bring any food with me either" Spyro pipes up. 

ooc: Sorry for lack of posting, life has been pretty rough latley

(Same here, will get back on track though...)

"You land-folk always make things difficult..." The elder says with a bemused smile. "The shark is a member of Thassa's creatures, so it was probably driven off to find a more suitable place to do its hunting. It would have little reason to return here, as there was little left for it to eat." The elder shrugs though. "If you wish to hunt it though, that is up to you and might aid some other community down the way."

"As far as supplies go..." The elder looks hopeful at the mention of supplies. "Usually supplies are placed in large nets, then let sink down to us. We then need simply to collect the packages. No reason for ropes or to do lots of hauling..."

 Kanlos sighs heavily, "Yes, that would make sense, wouldn't it? Sorry, like I said, not accustomed to this..."

I believe we are waiting on more responses, but let me know if you are ready to just move onward.

((I'm up for moving forward))

OOC: let’s move

OOC yep, Ritha already suggested we get up to the ship first, let's do that :)

Spyro is ready to go

If we can get some nets?

We should be able to move on.

(Good to go, go where, not really sure, its been a little confused.)

The villagers give you a large bundle of nets, which you are able to haul up to the ships with ease. Several of the villagers help, but they are clearly exhausted from lack of food.

The process of resupplying the village goes off with ease, as Gnorcys and Aughus take over the nets and get the extra supplies sent down into the water. It takes a few hours to get the supplies, that appeared, into the nets and down into the water, but, eventually, that is completed.

There is no sign of the giant shark during any of this work, but you do spot schools of dolphins patroling the waters as you work. The villagers tell you that dolphins are not usual for this area, and they have never seen them in these numbers before.

What else do you wish to do here?

Io turns to Ritha and says, "You are a worshiper of Thassa, yes? Do you think you can ask for guidance from her on whether or not we should hunt down the shark and if we do have to do that, where we can find it?"

"The gods do not always answer our requests for guidance," Ritha says.  "Thassa in particular enjoys challenging us to discover our own solutions, and watch the growth and transformation our victories -- or our failings -- provide.  Nonetheless, I shall attempt to do as you ask."

Diving into the ocean, she swims down until she can see the entirety of the small triton community from above.  Then, closing her eyes and stretching her arms out over the city, she entreats Thassa:

"Lady of the Waters, Bright Pearl of the Depths... your humble servant asks for your guidance.  Shall we be the hand of vengeance, and strike down that which has terrorized your beloved people?  Is it your will to bring this shark's reign of terror to an end, or is this meant to be a test of your followers' resilence?  Though I brazenly ask for a sign, this lowly one knows her failings, and accepts your judgement fully and with an eager and open heart."

Ritha finds several of the dolphins clustering around her, bumping and playing with her, as they guide her back towards the ship. The dolphins, as one of the main symbols of Thassa, seem to be urging you back to the ship.

Returning to the ship, Ritha climbs aboard.

"It seems as though it is Thassa's will that we continue on our journey.  Perhaps the shark was a test for the people of that village.  Perhaps it was a test which they failed, but in her great mercy Thassa spared them from destruction.  It is not for us to know... or at least, not for me to know.  But I have heard Thassa's words, and I will follow," she says to the others.

Xerronios joins Ritha back on the ship.

Kanlos follows them up and starts trying to shake the water off of himself as best he can.

Io climbs back aboard the ship and responds, "If that is the case then that simplifies things a bit. We just give the people our excess rations and we will be good to go then."

As Kassiopeia climbs back on board she excuses herself and quickly disappears under deck.

Dressing down and putting on her vestments she ties a rope between two beams and hangs her wet stuff up to dry.

On returning to the top deck seeking out the others: „Am I the only one who thinks that that was weird?“
