And then he missed, and missed, and missed, and then did a Raging Power Leap Attack, got a critical, rolled a 20 to confirm the crit, doing triple damage, for a total of 100 points in one epic blow. <br /><br />I did contribute something valuable, though, in addition to the "He's At -10 Better Not Wait For The Ceric" use of my healing belt. The Killer Strangler Fig had ensnared Kanak and was about to crush him; but I sang out "Teleport!" and Kanak remembered his anklets of translocation. Only ten feet, but that was enough to get away. Then he carried Inae away (and she healed him up), came back, and ....

Kestrel pauses a moment to allow the implications ("adrift and abandoned" means it's derelict, therefore open to salvage) settle in, then continues. "No boats, no signs of life. Mr. Angarod and I searched the great cabin and day cabin. All the furniture was wrecked. We found this , some poor quality Luskan maps, some clothes. No log book, no weapons, nothing showing a magic aura. Much of the main deck was rotten, liable to fall through. Main hatch open. Below decks, again, wardroom furniture wrecked. Half a dozen sea chests abandoned. In the hold, cargo of cloth and furs, all rotten. Found that strongbox in the forward hold in two feet of water. I was trying to get a line around it, so Mr. Angarod could haul it out, when two pairs of hands pushed through the hull planking and snatched at me. We withdrew to the top deck, where we were attacked by approximately fifteen creatures--I believe them to have been ghouls, sir. We destroyed them, all four of us being wounded in the process. During the fight, portions of the forward decks had collapsed, which enabled Mr. Angorod to reach and retrieve the strongbox. He reported that water in the hold was now four feet deep. I still being weak from wounds, I boarded the yawl and directed Mr Angorod and Mr. Mistrellen to quickly search the officer's quarters before the ship sank. Once that was done, we departed the derelict. As far as I know, Dunders and Radge were not attacked or injured.<br />"Sir, I believe the bite of the ghouls had some disease or poison, and even though, thanks to Lady Inae, our wounds are healed, the poison is still in effect. I believe there is a risk that we will become ...like the creatures that bit us. I expect Lady Inae can shed further light on that subject. <br />"We did not observe any ghouls other than those we destroyed, but we do not know why or how they came to be there, nor whether there are more. My immediate recommendation is that we make best speed away from the wreck, keep a sharp watch, and have marines ready to repel boarders at the rails. And take whatever precautions are needed in case we are...no longer ourselves. Permission to go on the sick list, sir...."Chris DeBoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05418545417782942869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-360834845042017256.post-17738321577501758182012-12-09T19:33:06.030-05:002012-12-09T19:33:06.030-05:00Kestrel doesn't know this, but Kanak didn'...Kestrel doesn't know this, but Kanak didn't throw the raider chief into the longship.
