Deeper Underdark

Grin eats some more of his boat snacks, debating heavily whether or not he wants to risk eternal post-mortem servitude on a ship for the pleasure of a fine meal… he chooses against it for now.

Ealdwig isn't interested in spending the rest of eternity on this ship. He isn't a sailor. He'd rather be doing acrobatics. You see him unconsciously shaking his head in slight back and forth manner. He sits on his hands. I can wait till we are on land to eat and drink. His stomach growls in disagreement. Ealdwig tilts his head to the left a little, now if this were a circus...

"Thank you for the safe passage and the incredible stories, but I believe it is time for us to depart, our soul seeks adventure and riches and I do not see myself bond to this ship, we will spread your story Captain Bloodborne and I hope it pleases you"

To his companions
"My friends shall we continue our expedition? and uncover the mysteries of the underdark"

After Brewner's impassioned speech, short tho it was, Ealdwig almost jumps from his chair, ready to adventure. Wow, that guys got it. And I need to get off this ship.

Captain Bloodbane stands up at the table and says, "While I didn't get any new recruits tonight, I did get wonderful stories. For that I thank you!"

She turns to Brewner and says, "Please do tell our stories. Hopefully we can see more traffic over time."

To the group, she continues, "We have now made it to the destination. We have to send you over in the rowboat because the shore is not need enough for the ship. Thank you for your time and your stories. May the fates favor you on your journeys. You are always welcome to return!"

The group is led out of the Captain's room and toward the rowboat that had brought them to the ship. The same two oarsmen greet them and help them board the rowboat. The boat is then lowered to the water and they are rowed to the dock. The water is still unnaturally calm, with only the wake of the rowboat providing disturbance. As he looks out at the water while approaching the dock, Oliver thinks he sees movement on the surface other than that caused by the rowboat, but he can't be sure. He sees this as the rowboat is about to get to the dock.

Once onshore, Grin, I'm proud of you. Ealdwig claps him on the back, you too Oliver. Ealdwig smiles wide at his companions. I know if was hard for you both, as it was for me. But we avoided temptation and we are all the better for it. Who wants to spend eternity on that ship? Ealdwig holds his stomach, man I'm hungry. He roots around in his pack.

Felix, once again, was happy to depart a ship.

Those guys could use some citrus. I'm worried about scurvy for them.

Does anyone ever volunteer to eternal servitude upon that ship?

I am hungry too, Ealdwig, maybe we can find somewhere to get a fire started.

Ealdwig gets off the rowboat first, followed by Felix. Just as Ealdwig is stretching and Felix gains his balance again, everyone hears noises as something comes out of the water on the beach and starts to get on the far end of the pier!

As your eyes focus you can see what it is. It looks like a giant lobster with four legs, two forearms with giant pincers, and a ton of tentacles hanging from what should be its face. It is still coming out of the water, so you can't see what its tail looks like yet.

"It's a chuul!" exclaims one of the oarsmen

THAT'S NOT GOOD!

Brewner raises both his brows in astonishment as he sees this creature emerging from the water, he never saw something like this.
" I am not sure i want to face that thing, looks like it have a hard shell." He holds his Warhammer tighter " Should we run, maybe it won't follow us, as his lair is in the lake or near the shore.."

"Ohhh! So that's what that was! Sorry, I saw something moving in the water and was too mesmerized to speak."

Oliver gets his sling ready.

"How about some inshore action? That creature looks... interesting."

He hands a vial of Deepshade to Felix, and excitedly mutters:
"Sword. Vial. Sleep."

Continuing his conversation with Grin and Oliver, ...humans just don't understand...

Staring and pointing, what in the Hells is that?!

Um, guys, maybe we should run. Ealdwig starts to back away getting ready to flee.

Ok, Felix's actions.

He rethinks his whole life.

For Turn 1, you can't reach the chuul, and it can't reach you. So, you basically get one turn for "prep".
Felix is trying to prepare with his Shamanic Warrior magic.
Ealdwig has two Action to do whatever he wants. (If he wants to use his bow, he has to load it first.)
Everyone else has to spend one Action to get off the boat (if you want to). The second Action can be whatever they want.

The chuul uses its two Actions to move up out of the water and on to the end of the pier. At the end of Turn 1, you are Far from each other (about 30 feet or so).

Brewner his going to grab one of the oarsmen by the colar " Is a Chuul!? what do you know about this creature, how do we fight it? what does it fear? speak with urgency as the lives of my companions are in danger!"
