Session 58: Almost Makes Me Want to Die
General Summary
The session began on SnowFurrow, 19 2597 as Joint Operations LLC was aboard the Absolute Majesty III, somewhere in the open waters of the ocean West of the Gu'us Empire. Alena Birch, having just been drug underwater by a giant dragon turtle managed to swim back through the breach in the hull. The rest of the party (minus Atticus who ran to the gun deck) came to the bottom of the ship where Kale controlled the water and pushed it out the hull for the time being. With a 20' gap still revealed, Rodan Spice got some crewhands to gather timbers to shore up the breech. While this was going on, Tork turned into a Shark to confront the dragon turtle but quickly returned to the ship after it used its breath weapon on him. With a couple timbers in place and the crew running off to wake up the master craftsman, Atticus was summoned grumpily to come and use Tiny Hut to protect the ship while the repairs were being made.
The master craftsman then returned, a stout dwarf named Fin'a'gin. He got to work on repairing the breech Atticus was holding at bay. Wren turned into a Lion Turtle and attempted to negotiate with the dragon turtle but was unsuccessful. The dragon turtle then directly attacked the ship where it killed 27 crew on the main deck and broke one of the five mainsails while getting attacked by both cannons and Joint Operations LLC. It then dove underwater where it was harried by Wren's draconic spirit and Alena Birch's guiding bolt. It decided to descend into the waters as Rodan Spice was working on turning the broken helm to get the boat out of the troubled waters. With this the battle was seemingly over.
Rodan Spice gave a speech at the funeral for the 36 crewmates who died in the attack later that afternoon and all the bodies wrapped in shrouds were committed to the sea (though the did not sink). Rodan Spice promised 5x the dead crews annual salaries to be given to the deceased's families. Rodan Spice was unhappy with the work of two people on the ship and took time to deal with them. The first was Fin'a'gin, so he sized up Fin'a'gin's second master craftsman, a greying and old human who was very openly racist against short races. This softened Rodan Spice's attitude towards Fin'a'gin and he decided to have the old man killed publicly as an example of crossing him. Rodan Spice then went to talk with the funeral director on the ship who did not manage to make the bodies sink. It turned out to be the chef and after a conversation, it was decided that Rodan Spice would forgive the offense this time around but to do better next time.
Atticus then found Rodan Spice and convinced him to not publicly execute the second in command craftsman as it would be bad for morale. Instead he could have him "die in his sleep" with the same effect of getting rid of him without sacraficing any of the crew support he had been gaining. With these decisions made and repairs as complete as they could be, the ship was underway once again. After about another day of travel, it was determined the sunken ship of secrets was right beneath them. Tork, Wren, and Kale turned into Octopus and headed down into the waters. After 25 minutes Tork turned around but Kale and Wren continued down for nearly an hour. At 18,000ft. they found the bottom where Kale spotted a tiny protrusion of wood from the seafloor. The ship was buried. Both headed back up to the surface to work on a plan with the rest of Joint Operations LLC. After deliberation, Atticus came up with a plan. They would use their extradimensional portal as a submarine and have Jandar, Tork, and Zirk manually excavate the seafloor around the ship from the safety of the enclosed room.
Beds were then removed from the space, the Captain's Suite bathtub was brought in, earplugs were acquired, food and excavation materials were acquired, and other preparations were made. With everything ready to go, Alena Birch, Atticus, Rodan Spice, Tork, Zirk, and Jandar piled into the room for their 42 day descent to the ocean floor with Wren and Kale guiding the portal as octopi. This ended the session as they began descending into the depths of the water west of the Gu'us Empire on SnowFurrow 20, 2597 around midday.The biggest issue was...
