Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Satterson squints and verifies before bellowing down the situation.

"Quintanillas! There be cannon fire in the seas under those clouds? I can't see another ship but there's always the possibility it's target is below the surf? Shall we let The Diamant know?" he belts out waiting for a response and decision on if they get closer to investigate or let the other ship know first so he can start flag signaling.

"Aye!" he calls back. "Watch, signal the Diamant. We'll see what's what."

"Helmsman, take us up wind of that ship."

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Seeing the dark skies in the horizon, Bastien frowns he hears the call from the crow's nest. With a sigh, he walks up to the bridge to lean on the railing near Llorenco. With half-hearted bravado, he makes a remark to the Castillian. "Storms and cannonfire? Fitting shakedown for our new vessel, wouldn't you say?"

Remembering something, he yells up to the crow's nest. "Mr. Satterson! Please do tell us if you see them flying a red flag."

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Satterson will signal the Diamant to report in before looking specifically for red flags if he doesn't recall it standing out. He'll also look for anything in the surf like the remains of a sinking ship or something else.

OOC:

Let’s have a roll from Saterson to see just how much he picks up. Give me a Wits + Notice roll with the bonus die for Sea Legs and any from Hero Points if you want to spend any (Satterson has 4 currently). Don’t need to worry about spending any raises, I’m wanting to use it for the more you get the more details you can pick out

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Satterson signals and waits for a response looking through his spyglass. His jaw sets firmly wondering how they'll tackle this considering their current two ships and tension aboard his current ship. Nothing like a bit of battle at sea to bond over for crewmen... he thinks to himself waiting for a response.

OOC:

I should probably start using these since they'll fizzle out soon. Wits+Notice+First Use+Sea legs is 7d10 don't have the book so unsure how many die an HP give so I'll just add one.

Update: 2 Raises with two alibis

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

As Satterson casts any eye over the scene with his spyglass he does make out a red pennant flying from the mast of the ship. The thing he finds most odd however if the way they are firing the cannons, pretty much all of the shots seem to be angles down into the water incredibly close to the ship.

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

"Aye red pennants flying and cannons shooting into the waters around their ship... maybe this 'The Eisen' wants the beast wounded to 'magic' it's mind while it's reeling about. I'll let them know as well!" Satterson bellows down before signaling the other ship that there's a possible kraken in the waters ahead where the ship with red flags skirts the storm and magic is possibly getting ready to be used.

Llorenco pauses. "Get us closer, helmsman, but this might be a hunt for the Diamant, so keep us defensive upwind."

"Quintanillas that be the whaling ship that paid off the pirates to sink competition." Satterson points out from above.

"Aye, but it's hunting our prey. Tis the Diamant that is suited for Kraken fishing. We'll support her and keep the other whaler honest."

"Bit late to keep 'em honest 'init..." Satterson states looking at the ship they're currently on with a devilish grin wondering if they're going to possibly do some naval tactics.

Bastien takes out his spyglass, staring at the action with a quizzical expression. The mythical beast? Surely not? Or, can it be?

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

The Diamant signals back and starts moving in against the other ship but you quickly loose sight of her in the rough conditions. As both she and the Tempest close Satterson, using his spyglass, can make out some more details about the other ship. The name Southern Star is emblazoned across the stern of the vessel and there is a stern looking, one armed man on the aftercastle appears to be shouting orders to the crew. What everyone can make out through the increasingly choppy conditions is that the sea around the Southern Star seems to be behaving....strangely.

OOC:

Ok, we're going to head into an Action Sequence now so can I please get some approaches and rolls peeps (we're nearing the end of the 'session' so you should feel free to use some of those Hero Points)

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

OOC:

Llorenco is good by me. Bastien is no captain. I'd be ok making Lorenco captain on a permanent basis. Bastien can be quite arrogant and bossy, but he knows what he doesn't know about a ship (which is plenty).

What do you think, Remnant?

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

OOC:

Works for me I'll back you up as tactician.

"The Southern Star's crew seems off." Satterson starts to bellow followed by bearings and positions of the sea around them due to weather. Fighting during a storm wasn't something new to him but this would be the first time dealing with a third party in the form of a very large mytical beast helping and hindering his actions along the way. The least he could do was set them up for the best area for an approach into the choppy waters to give them options during a naval skirmish.

OOC:

First time use for the scene + Flair + Sea Legs + wits + (Warfare) + a 2 Hero Point since I need to spend my other 3.

Re: IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Seeing (or hearing about) the Diamant's disposition, Llorenco orders the helmsman to steer upwind and post the fight, then drive past the whaler for a broadside. The timing is crucial, for the chop and the angle could both make their shots less effective while giving the Southern Star. Even if the angle goes well, they'll be at speed in rough water.

"Ready the mainsail to come about hard downwind. Roll out the port cannons for a broadside, but tie them down for rough water!" Llorenco continues to tell orders, glancing at his officers for updates before the plunge.

OOC:

First time use for the scene + Flair + Finesse + Sailing + a Hero Point

Edit: 9+8,4+4+1+1 = 2 with a 1 left over
Edit 2: forgot the hero point. Is that a free success or extra die?

If Satterson uses Warfare, I could use Wits+Notice. (I'd try to rouse the crew, but Bastien doesn't have anything in perform).

Warfare would be the most fitting I think

Usually 1 extra dice if you're using it for yourself, usual HP uses are as follows:

Yes that now would be a fantastic time to use that! You all started with one HP but you got another for me buying a dice from you at some point. Theres a thread here where I've been tracking them.[/ooc]
