Session 4: Rats, why'd it have to be rats? Report
General Summary
The start of the session had you all in the bilges of the Wormwood fighting rats. One of them was able to knock Vivienne unconscious, and another was able to overwhelm Martin d'Jorasco when he tried to grapple them. The fight was over in 18 seconds though with some of you learning the rules for two-weapon fighting for the first time! After that you searched the bilges and found some... questionable items scattered about. After returning on deck, Martin was still trying to complete his cooking task for the day, making turtle soup. Ambrose "Fishguts" Kroop was insensible today, and unable to provide any guidance. Martin decided that the guidance of anyone, including Master Scourge would be helpful. He decided to tie a rope to his body, and jumped into the water with a net to capture turtles. He was berated and laughed at for the remainder of the work day as he was unable to find any turtles. The evening was relatively uneventful, EXCEPT FOR A DRINKING CONTEST AND FINDING A MAJOR PLOT ITEM. Magnum Opus decided he would leverage his inability to get drunk in order to win some coin. He entered into a drinking contest with Rosie Cusswell, Crimson "Cog" Cogsward, Giffer Tibbs, and Slipper Syl Lonegan. Cusswell and Cog were the first to succumb to the alchohol with Syl not to far behind. Giffer eventually was declared winner as the crew figured out that the alchohol was having no effect on Magnum. While Magnum was drinking Moe Boom and Nyx Gwyn d'Kennyreaer were entertaining the crew with songs and stories. The remainder of the group went in search of The Missing Port. Vivienne kept Owlbear Hartshorn distracted, and we learned that she is his best friend. L3-37 Redgrave and Artemis eventually found the bottle of port and everyone returned to turn in for the night. Martin disclosed that Kroop was after the bottle of port as well, for more personal reasons. Regardless, you had it now, so you could finally get your stuff back. Day 5 - Weather Nominal The next day shift went by pretty smoothly. Each of you seem to be getting the rhythm of the ship down. You know when to work diligently, and when you can shirk your duties. Most of you did work hard today, with only a couple of you sneaking off. Nyx visited Cut-Throat Grok to turn in the Port who informed you to swing by after the day shift to collect your things. Martin tried to enter the captains quarters and learned of a nasty surprise that awaits any unsuspecting victims. Artemis gave Habbly Quarne, The "Stitchman" a coin that glows when you hold it tight enough. Otherwise it was a pretty standard day. The night brought about a new challenge, however. Mr. Plugg decided it was time to take your party down a peg or two. He proposed a bare-knuckle contest between whomever you choose and Owlbear. Y'all ultimately chose Moe, which had massive odds in your favor. Most of you bet on Owlbear though. Moe, through sheer luck and talent, was able to make Owlbear fight himself and eventually he knocked himself out. The pot of gold was declared yours and you now had some money to play around with. After all of the excitement you went down and claimed all of your belongings before getting ready for your evening's activities.
