====== Tof-240515-eric ====== - We set up a night ambush for The Majestic Wind (the other ship we're going to be looting) - We decide to use Water Walking and sneak aboard, to get the element of surprise - After some discussion, we come up with a plan: - [[Milhouse]] will sneak aboard, with [[Ell]] in Wildshape as some smaller, inconspicuous creature - They will go for the cannon, sue Reduce and Levitate to get it back to [[The Gaping Maw]] - Meanwhile, once they're aboard, the rest of us will go and start working on taking control of the ship - This way, if they catch us, we can act as a distraction - [[Milhouse]] and [[Ell]] sneak aboard, and the rest of us head over - After they send word via animal messenger, we head over and board from the front of the ship - We climb up, and there's a guard right there - He manages to shout a warning before we can stop him - Combat begins - It turns out there are seasoned soldiers on this ship, it's not the easy prey we were told it would be - It sounds like there are a lot of them below decks, we might have to call in others from the crew - One of them tries to command us, she says she is [[General Chuseong]], and wants us to surrender - Says we are outmatched - We disagree - Fighting happens, [[General Chuseong]] gets blown overboard by [[Drex]]'s spell - A VERY giant, like supernaturally giant, shark eats her - One of her crew jumps overboard, seemingly to try to save her - I have [[Crawn]] go fetch the crew - We continue battling the soldiers - The crew shows up and we mop up - We manage to commandeer the ship intact - Loot: - 15,000 gold - 1,600 platinum - Art: - Celestial Orb: A delicate glass orb filled with a swirling mist that mimics the night sky of Gimahn. The orb is encased in a slender silver frame with tiny, finely crafted figures of beasts chasing each other around its circumference. When shaken, the stars within align to show different constellations visible in Gimahn's sky. - Flame-Touched Statuette: This small statue is crafted from volcanic rock. The base of the statuette is rough, as if still bearing the marks of natural formation, but the figure itself is a meticulously detailed carving of a tiger with flames erupting from its stripes. It has tiny rubies for eyes that seem to glow with an inner fire. - Pendant of the Endless Song: A delicate pendant shaped like a musical note, crafted from white gold and inlaid with sapphire. The pendant hangs on a fine chain and is said to hum a haunting melody when worn by someone who truly appreciates music. This melody is faint, almost beyond the edge of hearing, but deeply soothing. - Sunstone Pendant: Crafted from a bright, translucent orange gem, this pendant catches light and seems to glow with an inner fire. It is set in a simple, elegant gold setting and hung on a fine gold chain. - Model of a building: A small, exquisitely detailed statue made of marble depicting a grand library. The statue features miniature columns and arches, with tiny books carved into the walls. - Relic of the First Forge: A small iron anvil, no larger than a fist, beautifully preserved and etched with ancient symbols of creation and craftsmanship. It comes with a certificate marking it as an archaeological find and a model of a forge used by a deity according to folklore. - A fine cloak made of well conditioned supple leather in a shade of tawny brown. - Cloak of Invisibility {{tag>notes:session camp:TOF}}
