Dreams of Paradise / Re: CH1: Falling in the Deep E...
Last post by Mysticsage - June 25, 2022, 02:44:13 PMIn your attempt to steady Veritas, you have to wrap one arm around his waist and the other around the wheel. You manage to keep him from slipping or hurting himself, but the path of the boat was too far gone to recover from as you made contact with the mist.
And you did make contact, with the mist. As the ship rushed forward, instead of slipping through the dense fog as you would have expected, instead it acted almost like a solid wall. As the waves pushed you forward the ship began to tip upwards. Like a cart struggling to climb up a hill, the boat continued to turn upright. Just when the fear hit you that the ship, for some bizarre reason, might tip head over heels in the process, the fog gave way like a knife through butter.
In one swift motion, like a knife cutting through butter, the ship literally split apart the fog. Your stomach was in your throat as the boat was propelled through the tear in the fog with a mightly slam. The fog quickly shifted to fill the gap that you left behind as you moved faster and faster as you couldn't even see an inch beyond your nose. Here in the mist, all of your senses seemed dulled, as if you were being surrounded by cotton. Despite the soft nature of your surroundings, every hair on your body stood on end, and a tingling sensation ran up and down your body. Though that might just be the adrenaline talking.
"This fog seems to be an entirely different weather pattern, than the surrounding area. I haven't heard of anything like this. Even from the mast, there is nothing but white," Raynolt calls as he climbs down.

Last post by Schnizzer - June 23, 2022, 08:09:54 PMUnder better circumstances, Armand would have enjoyed watching Veritas struggle. This was not the best of circumstances, so he would have to laugh about it after surviving this. As he heard the sounds of the ship under the stress, He leapt into action and ran up to Veritas to help him at the helm. He didn't like the look of that wall of fog that was ahead of them but it was in the direction he needed to go. As he stood at the helm with Veritas, he stared ahead with determination on his face. Armand was going to make it to that island if it were the last thing he'd do. "Everyone get ready and hold on! We're going in!"

Last post by Mysticsage - June 22, 2022, 01:48:05 PMUsing the compass and the remnants of the map, you were actually able to get your general bearings, at least you hopped. Mapping the route that you were supposed to take and accounting for possible drift due to the storm you thought it might be possible to avoid some of the worst currents. Raynolt for his part seemed to have control of the sails. He had managed to climb halfway up the mast and secure the sails so that the ragging wind wouldn't end up tipping the boat sideways. However, all the stability in the world meant nothing if the person steering didn't have the strength to wrestle the boat under control.
Veritas was trying his best, but the half-elf wasn't even in the right weight class to be trying to wrestle a boat of this size. Your route was the only reason that the boat wasn't completely dashed by the waves. More than once Veritas lost complete control as the boat even despite the sail continued to pick up speed. The boat groaned heavily under the protest of the storm, making sounds like a dying whale, that was far from pleasant.
"I can't keep the wheel under control!" He screamed, but something else caught your attention.
A wall, no- a mountain, of fog, that consumed the entire horizon in every direction. With its stark nature seeming to merge the sea and the clouds it was clearly unnatural. And at the speed you were going, there was no avoiding, only a few seconds to think before being consumed.

Last post by Schnizzer - June 21, 2022, 07:27:05 PMArmand stares at the note and tries to make anything out before growling and tucking it into his shirt. "No time to figure it out now," he thought to himself. He then turned his attention to the map and compass. He took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself as he attempted to remember his father's lessons. His attempt to calm his nerves obviously wasn't working as he was still getting tossed about by the rough waves. He held the map and compass and attempted to figure out where in the hells they were.

Last post by Mysticsage - June 21, 2022, 06:19:47 PMThe note is heavily charred from the fire, but the few bits that you could make out read as:
Follow the course-
-The Unicorn-
-We have provided you with plenty of-
-Sir Herlock-
With this, our deal is done.
These scraps are blurred and separated by the various amounts of charred spaces that remove most of the context.

Last post by Schnizzer - June 21, 2022, 05:58:31 PMArmand's eyes went wide as he heard the little snap. "That little rat bastard..." was all he managed to get out before diving back out in time. Armand patted his back off and grabbed what he could salvage cursing himself. "Rookie mistake and you should know better!" He chastised himself as he looked through what he was able to save. He put two lockpicks in his belt pouch and hide the third one in his pant leg. With his luck, he would need it eventually. He then took a quick look at the note to see if he could learn anything new before trying to figure out where they were with the map and compass.

Last post by Mysticsage - June 21, 2022, 04:23:44 PMSteady on your feet as you hear the snap of the trip wire, you manage to tumble back out of the room before you hear the smashing of glass and the lick of flames on your back. Turning around you see that the room had been trapped with a flask of alchemist fire centered on the desk and papers that had been your main goal.
[error]take 1 point of fire damage [/error]
Luckily, it seemed like the crew didn't have time to set up any kind of deadlier trap other than the single flask, so it was a simple matter to rush in and throw the papers that were actively burning out into the storm to extinguish itself.
Doing a quick search of what was left, easily accessible, and not horribly scorched, you find a couple of things, a compass, a half-burned sailing chart/map, a set of common lock picks, a broken trip wire, some dried foods, and a charred scrawled note that had avoided most of the fire.
There does seem to be a few places where things may be hidden, including the drawers of the drafting desk was at the center of the blaze, and a chest at the foot of the bed. However, to look deeper into any of these places would require time
