[3.PF] Those bloody 1st level noobs: You're on a boat! [IC]

[rorikdude12]

You are on a ship docked in Hazthron's Port. You are below-decks, and have no idea why. There seems a large supply of weapons, food, and wine, but you face a more immediate issue: The five dretches looming before you, blocking the hatch to above-decks.

Oh dear. And only one of them is CR 2! And this is three!

[Ralasha]

The halfling, suddenly realizing she is on a boat, promptly fails a fortitude save, and gets sick on the nearest of the dretches.

[rorikdude12]

The halfling, suddenly realizing she is on a boat, promptly fails a fortitude save, and gets sick on the nearest of the dretches.

The dretch shouts something at you in Abyssal, waving its fist that resembles a freakish rotting ham.

The others seem peaceful.

[Ralasha]

"It isn't my fault I failed my save." The halfling then opens her MM. "Aren't you guys supposed to be evil?"

[rorikdude12]

"It isn't my fault I failed my save." The halfling then opens her MM. "Aren't you guys supposed to be evil?"

The puke-covered dretch gesticulates confusedly at the halfling. Another dretch face-palms, and a third dretch merely shrugs.

[Ralasha]

The halfling makes her way out of the room, looking at the dretches in a queazily threatening manner.

The halfling makes her way out of the room, looking at the dretches in a queazily threatening manner.

You move around the frightened dretches and gain 535 experience points! There is a hatch that leads up to the poop deck.

[Ralasha]

The halfling quickly makes her way up to the deck.

[rorikdude12]

The halfling quickly makes her way up to the deck.

Going up onto the deck, the city lies before you. Th lights shine brightly in the night, and there is many a fine pub out there.

[Ralasha]

At the thought of alcohol, with her currently churning stomach, she swiftly empties what remains in her stomach down through the hatch before departing. (I couldn't resist.)

[rorikdude12]

A vomit-covered dretch opens the hatch and looks disapprovingly at you with it's hands on it's hips.

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

To the halfling's right a muffled voice can be heard coming from a closed barrel. "Hello, is anyone out there? Help me please. I can't move and its very dark."

OOC:
is it night or day?

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

To the halfling's right a muffled voice can be heard coming from a closed barrel. "Hello, is anyone out there? Help me please. I can't move and its very dark."

OOC:

It is Night.

[Ralasha]

The halfling moves over, opens the barrel, sees nothing, and closes it again.

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

Before for it completely closes Servalynn is able to stick a hand out. Able to stand she looks around to thank whoever freed her. It takes a few seconds before she looks down and says, "Oh, there you are. Thank you. Do you know why there is a dretch standing in that door way?"

She then turns to the demon and says in abyssal "Hello there."

[Ralasha]

The halfling suddenly looks queezy again. "I hate ships..." She then quickly move to see if they are near shore or dock. If so, she disembarks rather clumsily.

[rorikdude12]

The ship is docked.

The demon replies in Abbysal, "Your friend vomited on me! Not cool, bro."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

Servalynn looked at herself, she was female. Possibly these demons didn't know the difference. "Not bro, sista. I don't know my pint size liberator," she says as she watches the halfling leave.

Continuing her conversation with the dretch. "I'm sure she is sorry for that, I think being on this boat does not agree with her. So why are you here? Shouldn't you be on some lower plane?"

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

Servalynn looked at herself, she was female. Possibly these demons didn't know the difference. "Not bro, sista. I don't know my pint size liberator," she says as she watches the halfling leave.

Continuing her conversation with the dretch. "I'm sure she is sorry for that, I think being on this boat does not agree with her. So why are you here? Shouldn't you be on some lower plane?"

The dretch seems hurt, and starts layin' down some swag Abyssal rhymes.
"Do not denigrate or deride! In a barrel you did just hide! Be my guest in retrospection, but do not get me with your rudeness infection!"

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

She hadn't done Abyssal rhyme in a while. It was a dangerous game but she thought she could chance it.
"The barrel was not my hiding nook
From a carriage ride I was took
Not my intension to offend
My actions are to amend
Why is it you have come to our plane
What is it you seek or gain"

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

"The barrel was not my hiding nook

Not my intension to offend

The dretch smiles at your AMAZING rhymes, then goes back to layin' down some swag poetry.
"Though your rhymes are inane
and you're a bit of a pain
I'll tell you my goal on this plane
is pecuniary gain."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

She didn't expect that demons would need money.
Don't dis my curiosity
or I may show some ferocity
Coinage for you seems peculiar
Gold and the like so secular
There must be some greater intent
for your efforts to get here spent

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

Coinage for you seems peculiar
Gold and the like so secular

The dretch smiles, then holds up it's right hand in defeat. It bows, acknowledging you as the master of rhymes.

"I am here to try to buy a house in the countryside and live out my life among mortals. Nothing feels good anymore. I just want to be free."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"I certainly understand wanting to be free. Are you being pursued by someone?"

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

"I certainly understand wanting to be free. Are you being pursued by someone?"

"No, but there are many paladins from here to the countryside that would want me dead."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"Ah yes, there is that. So how did you get on this ship?" she asks.

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

"Ah yes, there is that. So how did you get on this ship?" she asks.

"Oh, this is where the gate opened to."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"Well, good luck with that," she says to the demon.

The young woman begins to explore the ship.

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

"Well, good luck with that," she says to the demon.

The young woman begins to explore the ship.

There's not much except for another barrel on the poop deck. The other dretches are blocking entrance below-decks. Other than a crow's nest, there's not that much else on the ship.

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"Is there anyone else below deck. This ship seems awfully empty," she asks the dretch.

[rorikdude12]

Servalynn

"Is there anyone else below deck. This ship seems awfully empty," she asks the dretch.

The dretch nods, then says in a dry, crackly voice,

"You can't see it, though."

[Loki_42]

Tork

From the unopened barrel, a voice can be heard. "How the hell did I get in here? Somebody let me out!"

[Ralasha]

The halfling can be heard still ralphing on the side of the ship from the dock.

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

Hearing the voice from the barrel she goes over there and opens it and peers in. She'll help whoever is in there out.

"Hello there, I am Servalynn."

[Ralasha]

The halfling wanders back up onto the boat. "What's going on, is that barrel extra dimensional? Maybe we should take it, could be good for storing things, like a portable hole of sorts. Could even use it as a weapon. Throw it at some boss enemy, it gets damaged, there's a hole, boss enemy gets sucked into extra-dimensional space." The halfling wanders over to the dretch, and wretches on it again. "Sorry about that. I was going to come over and apologize, but you smell horrible."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

THe comely woman translates the halfling's words, "She apologizes for the mess she made."

[Loki_42]

Tork

A half-orc climbs out of the recently opened barrel. "I appreciate you letting me out. The name's Tork, I seek to master the arts of spell and sword." He takes a moment to look around. "Ugh, what's that smell?!" Tork begins using prestidigitation to clean the Dretch.

[shugyosha]

Sevalynn

"That may be the breakfast of our halfling friend here," she teases. "Let's go somewhere where we can talk.""

[Loki_42]

Tork

"Very well." Tork stops casting the spell, and with his hand covering his nose, follows Sevalynn.

[Ralasha]

The halfling quickly follows. "Sorry, I don't fare well onboard ships."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"What is your name Miss Halfling?"

[Ralasha]

"I am Tirena of Earthsong, and you are?"

[Loki_42]

Tork

"Can't you read, it says Servalynn right there in bold. Now, I think the important question is how we ended up here. I certainly don't remember going to sleep in a barrel yesterday."

[Ralasha]

"Well, I was trying to roleplay. Assuming your player knows what that is, and yes, you're not real. Now can we work past this, and allow our players to get on with the game please? I will pretend I still don't know your names for the sake of realism, just as I don't know who would win in a three way fight between Mordenkainen, Halaster, and Elminster. Though if I had to, I would bet on Elminster, or Halaster."

[rorikdude12]

A note flies into your face. The parchment actually dives down from the air just so it can slam into you.

[Ralasha]

The halfling stops and reads the note.

[rorikdude12]

The halfling stops and reads the note.

It says,

Just what do you think you're doing? If you break the fourth wall any more, I'll have to cram blue pills into everyone's throats!!! And you do NOT want to go down that rabbit hole, so cut it out!

- The Wall Mason

[Ralasha]

She hands the note to the one that spoke of the forbidden texts.
"It seems the powers that be have demanded we cease our argument before we break the universe."

[Loki_42]

Tork

"Fine, fine, I'll go back to merely being aware that game rules exist, without making the logical assumption that we're in a game."

[Ralasha]

"I don't know about you, but I don't particularly want to be force fed any sleeping agents and wake up in an unmentionable condition in an alley. So I'll be ending this conversation before I end up thinking I'm bat-girl."

[shugyosha]

Servalynn

"Well I don't know about you, but being in a barrel has made me a bit hungry. Let's fine a tavern?" Servalynn suggests.

[Loki_42]

Tork

"Seems a little late to meet up in a tavern, but you're logic is sound. Let us get some food."

[rorikdude12]

You find a comfortable brick tavern, lit up and filled with adventurers.

Yes we are.
