Sparkles tries grabbing his foe, the two tussle together, but Owlbear manages to keep Sparkles from gaining purchase.

R2T1: Owlbear no longer sees stars, and now it is his turn ins his slobbering wrath to try to grab Sparkles. Sure enough, the big man wraps his arms around Sparkles in a bear hug and squeezes, doing 7 NL.

Owlbear kicks Sparkles in the shin for 9 NL as he does so, but the oread still tags the big man in the jaw for 5 NL. Wincing from the pain in his shin, Sparkles still taunts him, "Take that, you slack-jaw!"

R4T1: Owlbear does, and redelivers with a blow to Sparkles quick punch for 6 NL.

Brawl Ends...

[lostsole31]

After the brawl, everyone can begin their night action, except Sparkles, who is carried and helped into his hammock and falls asleep for the night.

[lostsole31]

DAY 6 ABOARD THE WORMWOOD

Please post intended day actions in your channel, and I will post your jobs.

[lostsole31]

Everyone's daily actions are complete.

Please mention ... in your channels ... if you drink your rum rations and what you might do for night actions.

[lostsole31]

DAY 7 ABOARD THE WORMWOOD

As before, I am doing the shipboard assignments, and then please denote what ship's actions you do during the day ... NOT the evening.

[lostsole31]

Evening ... rum rations? Night actions? Please let me know in your private channels.

[lostsole31]

DAY 8 ABOARD THE WORMWOOD

Today, Sprawl is sent to man the bilges; Sparkles is assigned to be a ratcatcher; and Tramp is assigned to repairs.

Please let me know in your Discord channels what ship's daily actions you perform.

[lostsole31]

During the day, the weather has been getting progressively worse. Sparkles does a great job catching rats. Sprawl did a good job manning the bilges, but the hard work and constant tossing about has fatigued him. Tramp was totally unprepared for doing repairs in increasingly inclement weather.

The Bloody Hour is called. This is Tramp's second poor day of work, and she already had a verbal reprimand. She gets a public "rope bash." It is a single attack with the hefty, sealed end of a ship's rope. It only does 1 NL, but is more humiliating than anything.

But that is a fast Bloody Hour, and this meal there are no rum rations. The meal itself is just biscuits.

The ship is tossed about on the high seas and all hands are called on deck to work, including the cook’s mate. All of the crew is required in the rigging, likely with unfamiliar jobs except for those swabs who are ABS (able-bodied seaman, or "salts"). Here are the assignments for PCs/ notable NPCS:
Rigging Repair: Sandy, Sprawl, Tramp
Line Work: Handbag
Lookout: Sparkles
Mainsail Duties: Dolly, Selkie

Spoiler: Rigging Repair (Sandy, Sprawl, Tramp

Show

The storm is causing, or going to cause, damage to the ship's rigging. It is important that rigging is fixed quickly to keep the ship fighting the storm.

Each of you will need to make a series of Climb checks to get to rigging 30' up. There is no reason to choose to do an accelerated Climb. Roll 9 Climb checks, please, in one post. I am asking for that many to handle extra Climb checks if there are failures.

In the same post, roll either a Profession (sailor) or a DEX check.

Finally, after that, roll a CON check.

Spoiler: Lookout (Sparkles)

Show

You will need to Climb to the crow's nest 60' up.

Please roll 18 Climb checks. Yes, 18. It takes 12 to get up, but the excess are for failed rolls.

Then, roll a Perception check.

Finally, roll a CON check.

[Master K]

Tramp will nod and get straight to work heading over to the rigging to begin climbing relishing in the Storm

Spoiler: Rolling Thunder

FA: Tramp will stop suppressing her storm.
SWA: Allocate 2 E points to Brume Treads and 1 to Runecloth of Doorways
IA: If at any point Tramp or someone within range should fall Tramp will use her Floating Breeze ability to cast Feather fall as a SLA on said person (in case of conflict tramps priority for saving people is Herself then Fellow party members then rest of crew.)

Tramp will use her Shifting Storms ability to swap from The Enshrouding to The Deluge, (at first applicable time to do so, be it combat, a call for initiative/other qualifying event)

[lostsole31]

Tramp has a difficult time climbing ... a very difficult time, but she manages. She actually does a brilliant job at her job, but she is fatigued in the middle of it.

Sprawl, Sparkles?

[Ostoril]

Sprawl sighs with exhaustion thinking back to his first day aboard the deck but gives it his all hoping to avoid the lash, or the deck.

[lostsole31]

It's a rough start for sure, and if Sprawl were up higher he would've fallen. But he finds it in himself to focus and climb as necessary. What might have been easier turns out to be a job which, even with Sprawl trying to find workarounds for problems, is NOT a good showing for him. Worse, he ends up being exhausted. At some point when he is down on the deck again, despite everything going on, Sprawl falls asleep at work, hiding in a hide-a-hole, and doesn't help with anything else that evening.

[lostsole31]

Here are the assignments for PCs/ notable NPCS:
Rigging Repair: Sandy, Sprawl, Tramp
Line Work: Handbag
Lookout: Sparkles
Mainsail Duties: Dolly, Selkie

Sandy did a good job hauling rope and doing knotwork, but ended her shift fatigued. She's an old salt, though, and despite the odd little stall, she's a solid climber and does well at her job.

Though the cook's mate, it turns out that Handbag is a knowledgeable sailor and does a good job with line work, even enjoying the chance to show off his strength.

Sparkles, a very good climber, is able to get to the crow's nest easily enough and performs well as lookout.

Dolly and Sandy had worked together during the day, and like her Dolly ended up fatigued before this second shift. Putting her on mainsail duties seemed like a joke, but she knows enough about sailing that she does well as an assistant to others. Selkie, working with her, has more trouble performing his duties. He has been a rigger since you left, but hasn't yet done mainsail duties. He seems to have some sailor training, but the ship is unfamiliar to him. He is hale, though, and has energy to burn.

During this second shift, however, Selkie's fumbling about has a line come loose and smack Dolly and she goes overboard. By the time Tramp notices, Dolly is already unseen over the gunwale!

"Surprise" Round ...

Dolly is knocked overboard, and the sharp-eyed Sparkles calls out, "Man overboard, starboard aft beam!"

Begin Round One ....

R1T19: Selkie begins climbing down, now at a height of 25.

R1T16: Dolly manages to stay afloat despite her fatigue. She tries to cast a spell, but the jostling has her ruin it.

R1T15: Handbag grabs the bitter end of a coiled line and gets to the gunwale.

R1T14: Sparkles continues to call out Dolly's position.

R1T9: Tramp, what do you do? You are on deck doing rigging repair, down on the deck right now.

[Master K]

Tramp will race over to the railing to get eyes on Dolly before using her Runelcoth of Doorways to open a portal, with one end on deck and the other next to dolly just above the surface of the water before shouting at Dolly and pointing at the portal "SWIM THROUGH THE PORTAL DOLLY"

Spoiler: Rescue Attempt 1

Show

MA; move to railing to get eyes on dolly. If within 40 ft of Dolly, proceed to next line. Else use remainder of 40ft movement to get as close to Dolly as possible without going over the railing herself.

SWA; reallocate E point, 1 into Brume Treads, 2 into Runecloth of Doorways (bringing its range up to 40ft)

SA; Runecloth of Doorways to open a portal just above the surface of the water as Close to Dolly as possible (ideal position being adjacent to her if within range) the other end being 10ft from Handbag if within range (if Handbag is not in range place the portal next to myself) 'exit' portal should be on deck not over water (probably a no Duh but saying it anyway)

FA; Shout at Dolly

[lostsole31]

R1T9: Tramp races over to the gunwale, and then has to take time and listen to the lookout to get eyes on Dolly. In preparations for what Tramp intends to do, she calls out, "SWIM THROUGH THE PORTAL, DOLLY!"

R1T6: Sandy runs over to the gunwale next to Handbag. She doesn't take the rope from him, but Handbag does hold the line while Sandy ties off a bowline (a type of knot with a loop).

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T21: Sprawl, exhausted as you are in your hiding hole, there is an energy on the deck - even in this storm - that seems odd enough to have awakened you, and you hear calls of man overboard.

R2T19: Selkie continues climbing down.

R2T16: Dolly is now 20' from ship. She is having a hard time and goes under the waves.

R2T15: Handbag gets ready to throw the line if Dolly appears again.

R2T14: Sparkles continues to call out position and mentions that Dolly is no longer seen.

R2T9: Tramp, so, it took you time just to spot Dolly before, but now you realize another challenge that makes your runecloth of doorways a poor choice in this environment. You see, the doorways so opened are fixed in space, and have no bearing in relation to you. This means that as the ship continues forward, on the x-axis (horizon line) they fall behind the position where you were. On the y-axis as well, the ship and waves both heave and buck. So, the door you would step through cannot be properly judged AND the door at the destination likewise is not guaranteed in position AND the waves move Dolly about. Now, though, you can't even see Dolly, just where she last was.

While not "combat", you are in a high-adrenaline situation man-vs.-nature, so you feel yourself gaining 1 TE. Do you put it into your storm veil?

[Master K]

Cursing like a true sailor, in Minkaian, Tramp races over towards Handbag while calling out to Fujin both mentally and verbally (in Taldane) for help, and smiling as the osprey tattoo on her right shoulder comes to life and takes shape. "Fujin there's a girl in the water i need you to bring them the rope" mentally sending a sense of urgency/importance and pointing towards the last place she'd seen Dolly, before turning to Handbag "Give Fujin the rope, out of all of us he probably has the best chance of finding Dolly and can fly the rope out to her" indicating the osprey on her shoulder when she mentions Fujin.

Spoiler: Fujin to the Rescue?

Show

FA; curse
MA; move towards Handbag
FA; call out for Fujin
Familiar's move action; change from tattoo into Osprey
SA; give instructions to Fujin and Handbag
Familiar SA/MA/Readied Action(RA?); MA to take rope and fly out towards Dolly's last know position (assuming Handbag gives it). SA if it takes a separate SA to accept rope (assuming Handbag gives it), RA to accept rope (assuming Handbag gives it) if he has to wait till handbags turn to receive rope.
Side note, I apologize if Fujin's actions aren't mine to dictate, (familiars page on pfsrd, under the Methods of control says that Familiars are generally player controlled, so i put in dictation for him, but understand if you take control of them in your games)

R2T8: Fujin delays for Handbag to give him the rope. Tramp senses more than nervousness, but fear, coming from Fujin.

R2T6: Sandy shouts in the fury of the storm, while keeping a weather eye out for Dolly's hopeful re-emergence. "Are you sure your bird can handle this wind?"

R3T17-15: Sparkles calls down from above as Dolly pops up to the surface again. Handbag was readied, and ignoring the bird he throws the coil of line out to Dolly. Handbag, then anchoring himself, calls out, "Everybody haul in once she has it. I'll anchor."

R3T9: Tramp, what do you do? What do you now direct Fujin to do?

With a nod Tramp will run over and grab hold of the rope ready to pull Dolly in once she has hold of her end, dismissing Fujin on the way "Sorry buddy, you can go ahead and rest ill let you know if I need you again," feeling him dissolve back into ink and settle back into his familiar tattoo shape on her shoulder/upper arm
