Bajaz meet you once broad the sailing ship named Destiny
Bajaz
Welcome abroad Destiny. Please make yourself home. There are passenger rooms in lower deck. Let's meet at captain's cabin in an hour.

You notice no sailors abroad, but a dozen constructs arranging drinking water food and wine.

Soon after party meets at the captain's cabin. A large map or the sea is the table with notes taken directly the map. Bazaj welcome you offers to help yourself with wine and snacks which are plenty around the map and wait for everyone to gather

A sailor boards the vessel before asking some questions and making his way to the captains cabin. Once there he has a quiet conversation with Bajaz before moving to look over the map. He then looks around the room and finds a quiet corner to sit and wait for the others.

As he waits he shifts through a couple of forms with his eyes closed, occasionally standing up to move a bit before sitting back down
Siveril
Dasyra
Danoll
Wilbar

 https://i.imgur.com/HrqFbyF.jpg Seelah enters the room and gives kind greeting to new companions.

"Well met friends. I am Seelah, a paladin of Helm. I hail from Helm’s Hold, by way of Turmish as a youth. I am…curious about this mission, and I look forward to adventuring with all of you.

" Friends, those of you with whom I travel, you each have my sword."

Standing as the paladin enters Pin shifts his form again as he greets her bowing slightly
Pinmel
Greetings lady paladin. I am Pinmel the sorcerer. You may simply call my Pin. I appreciate the offer of your sword and offer my arcane arts in return. I am a dabbler in elemental manipulation but spend most of my time in the arts of the mind.

A young looking female elf is wondering around the main deck poking the random Automatons with her staff as they pass. She is wearing simple tear robes that reveal quite of bit of skin. Her sky blue skin is covered with softly sparkling and shining tattoos of various constellations.

She smiles and waves as the others pass by...

The eladrin shifted uncomfortably as he walked down the pier. He felt the eyes of the dock workers about him, and wished not for the first time that he could stay invisible as was the norm. He's pale of skin, with an unassuming look and a slight frame that belies some inner strength that allowed him to walk in a half-plate at ease. Anyone looking closely might catch a glimpse for bluish glowing creature, seemingly made out of fractal light, peeking out from inside the bag slung on his side.

He snacked on a fresh chili pepper as he boarded the ship, mouth crunching away as he approached the group. He gave a polite bow and, waiting until the chili were swallowed, introduced himself as Kenjidor, and his companion as Prism, or Pris for short.

A female halfling, dark tan complexion, black pigtails, and wearing common clothes with bandoliers with multiple loops. She sits on the ledge of the table swinging her feet while eating a pastry "Hello everyone, I'm Paetina." as she arches her back and raises her chin looking towards the ceiling "I'm certain you all have heard of me, but autographs have to wait until after dinner"

Seelah greets new companions in-kind.

Well met, Pinmel and Paetina. Wonderful to be adventuring with both of you. I will be eve watchful for danger, as Helm duly directs. I will help and defend our party and heal as best I can, ideally upon confines of dry land!

Let’s do this!

My dear! Bajaz who left recently to give order to "the crew" as he calls constructs in charge of the ship. returned to the room and is full of enthusiasm
We have a beautiful traveling awaiting us! We are sailing straight to the Snowdown and while I expect nothing but weather to disturb us for the first day, you must indeed be prepared to use your sword, bow and magic as we approach the Isles. Something, someone or a party of both are preventing ships from doing the journey we need to make and I hope you are all ready to ensure the security of this journey!


A few constructs bring some fresh fruits as he finish his intro. Bajaz grabs an apple and approach the map:
We are working under following assumptions: 1. During the last few years someone or something gradually turned pirates the isles to the South into undead. 2. This year "by coincidence" Bajaz stress that he don't believe into the coincidence we have lost our good trade partner. Sent 3 fully armed battleships but none return back. 3. North trade route is unaffected
Bajaz smells his wine and makes a tiny sip before continue
We must be prepared for anything. If lucky the demon will attack the ship and you will finish if off. Should our assumption we wrong or Curran be cautions we will need to find the cause help to reestablish trading and gather intelligence of pirate curse. I want to believe adventurers with your experience are more a problem solving experts than just a delivery boys and girls.
Without even taking a breath he makes it clear his monologue came to and and by short
Any questions?
Oct 18, 2023 7:31 pm
It seems simple enough. I am prepared.
Oct 18, 2023 8:56 pm
Thank you for the kind explanation, Bajaz. I believe I too am ready to proceed.

Kenjidor's eyes widened as the constructs walked about with fresh fruits. As Bajaz spoke, Kenjidor's eyes looked around for chili peppers, hoping to find a new strain in this locale, but was disappointed to find only fruits.

"Fear not, good Bajaz." Kenjidor smiled warmly at his new companions. "This crew seems like a good lot—including Paetina, no matter what the others say about you—I'm sure we shall solve this problem." He winked at Paetina.
OOC:
Some last min addition, I'm adding a few Potions of Healing, and buying a couple of Revivify components for our healer, in case I need it.

is all of the preparing for death just giving the DM licence to kill? LoL

The elf raises her hand!

Once getting called on "Like. This demon. Do you know what it looks like? " She spreads out her arms like she is flying. "Does it fly around or like swim? " She stops flying and starts fake swimming.
"Umm and what happens if the demon thing sinks the ship? Can the Automatons swim?"

Paetina frowned for a moment, scratched her chin, leaned forward closer to the map "What are the Pastries like on those islands?, I won't be understanding if their snacks are bad", she wags a finger towards the islands "Cant trust no bad baker" she looks around to see the group with a more serious expression and waves them off "Of course, of course, we'll be ready for them bad baker folks. Did ya ever tell us your partner's full name? I'll look in my books to see if he is important and stuff."

Talking about demon Atlas realized something is off there - they are never summoned permanently. Magic can only hold a fiend in this plane for a certain time (usually an hour).

My patron believe it to be a demon. If our assumptions are correct the demon will attack our ship hungry for our souls. It will let the ship and constructs alone, concentrating on 6 of us. There construct may not be the most proficient sailors to prevent mistakes they are only allowed to load, but not fire ship weapons
[ +- ] Weapons
Bajaz also share:
- constructs can't swim, but they don't need to breath so we can save them after a fight if they get out into the sea. Some of them can fly though (you see same smaller ones flying and managing the sails
- Curran Ash is full name
- Bajaz can teleport all PCs and himslef back to Baldurs Gate if everything goes wrong

If you have no more question to Bajaz please vote here Public

Move to next morning

Atlas stops moves for a second and looks off into the sky. She looks like someone is talking to her from a far... "Nope. Not a demon. They can't stay on this plane for long. Got to be something else. " She grabs an apple and starts munching on it while spinning in circles around the others.
Remembering something she stops and drops the apple on the deck. "I don't think any of you can become a fishy.. Do any of you want to be able to breathe water? It will gives you some neat gills..."

He looks to Atlas curiously What method do you have for allowing us to breath water? Will it affect my spell casting?

I’d rather not turn into a FISH necessarily…but if I can breathe underwater, or walk on water, now that’d be something neat, indeed! I do have these WINGED BOOTS. Allowing me to fly up to…four hours? I’ve never really pushed it to find out!
