Best line on GP so far in 2023 :D

OOC:

Haha thanks, it was fun to write! Longfoot is up, DC is now 14, followed by Baldwin with DC 16. You are free to think of another way to cross!

Brother Longfoot

Brother Longfoot is rather spry - one of the things the Order of Navigators noted during his initiation test. So, it is with confidence he leaps onto the shifting gang plank!

OOC:

Longfoot has 14 luck points left to spend, so he blows 8 to get that 6 up to a 14!

Although the rocking motion of the ships nearly sends him into the drink, Baldwin grabs the plank and stabilizes it! Longfoot looks back to him, and salutes him, then makes the rest of the way with haste!

Was this adventuring life more than he bargained for! His whole life, he yearned to explore beyond the horizon. But even now that he had seen the face of true evil, he wasn't the slightest bit deterred. The horizon called ever still.

Baldwin

Baldwin stood up on the rail, satisfied. He had saved everybody! Rightfully, as the hero of this story, he should be last to step foot off the ship. He turned, to see the flames rising on near the back of the ship. This rotten ship was both sinking and burning, and he knew he had gotten the best of the beast that had killed so many of them.

OOC:

Burning 8 luck points to succeed, leaving Baldwin with 3/14

Cracking his knuckles he climbed onto the plank to finish his triumphant journey, but the plank slips! But there, on the other side, Brother Longfoot returns the favour and steadies it for him. What a good sidekick. He crosses, head high, and his mighty, dragon-slaying mallet close at hand.

Baldwin makes it to the other side with pomp and grandeur, only to hear a sound behind him. "Death to hierarchies!" Christnar the anarchist says as her battle cry. She grabs a length of rope she had stashed in the crow's nest and swings like a monkey onto the Ibis ship. Sadly the rope snaps mid-swing and she gives a panicked cry as she slams into the crossing plank, snapping it in half, and splashing down into the water. A moment later you see a shark's fin circle where she splashed down and the water blooms red.

OOC:

Well I was hoping one of ogion's characters would make it but the dice have spoken lol.

With the plank removed by Christnar's tumble to her doom, nothing is keeping the ship delayed and the Ibis ship unfurls its sails and sets course for land. The captain interviews you to get your story and offers free room and board until you make landfall in about three days' time because of your tragic encounter. Stone Dahut spends the voyage recovering in the surgeon's quarters. If anyone visits her, she says she is retiring from being a cultist and renounced her dark god. She gives away her magic weapon to anyone who wants it.

On the last night of the voyage, you are all down sleeping in the cargo quarters in impromptu hammocks made from extra rigging and sails. You are asleep in the dead of night when you hear a thump. Groggily you think you hit something in the water, maybe a piece of floating detritus, but then it comes again.
Thump. THUMP.

It becomes rhythmic. Insistent.

Thump. THUMP! CRACK!

The end...?
