[Game Thread] Deep Thoughts: Getting There Is Half the Fun

[Corwin]

Gillerithan Taverner - Sorcerer 3 Gil barely looked up, occupied with slotting another bolt. "Yeah yeah, I'll still say when. Ya know how plans go though, weren't like we planned on them shootin' at Morgan. Whyncha see if Cap'n Schon's got a bow ya can borrow or somethin' while she's workin'?" He tried to pick out the pirate he'd dinged, steadied his crossbow, and let fly. The bolt clunked into the Fin's bow below the rail. "Dangit." He reached for another quarrel.

Morgan Even more projectiles were flying in Morgan's direction and she realized the mortal danger that she was putting herself in. These pirates were most likely to have their own champions, and even if not, they were many. Even if at the current distance they had difficulties in hitting the daughter of the waves, she knew that soon her enemies might concentrate their fire on her. But that's what she was ready for. All her thoughts had been settled, now it was time to watch what Istashia's gifts could do to the Devil's Fin as it carved its path through the waves. And Umberlee would protect her. When Morgan let go of the rope and readjusted her grip to about ten dozen feet of slack, the pull of the lifeline left her behind and she immediately dove beneath the waves, one hand holding the rope and the other reaching for the amulet with Umbelee's symbol that she always carried around her neck, usually hidden underneath her armor. As the strength of her legs propelled her forward it was mere seconds before she would emerge again, but while speaking a divine prayer in the words of the deep sea, the primordial cleric felt an invisible bubble erect itself around her, and she knew that it would ward her against the next salve of missiles. Even from underneath the waves Morgan could see the Devil's Fin approach her quickly and as the slack got few and fewer she knew that once the rope would be taut again it would pull her back to the roiling surface. But not yet. Still underwater she reached out with her webbed hand and by her genasi heritage, she enacted her will upon the water further in front of her as she let it turn to ice and become an imposing mass that would rise from the sea and right into the pirate ship's trajectory. For the moment, Morgan's thoughts were calm and empty. The Wavemother's realm and her divine magic held her in their familiar embrace, and although the Queen of the Deep Sea was not a nurturing mother, it was enough to know that as her cleric, Morgan would soon prove her strength or find out her limits.

Yacht Race Gil and the pirates continue to trade – to fail to trade, actually – crossbow bolts while Morgan controls the real action. She dives out of sight, and leaves a new large ice cube in the path of the Devil’s Fin. The ship shows no sign of slowing or avoiding it…

OOC Whole party is up! Distances figure relative distance Journey stern 0 Morgan 150 Cube 180 Devil's Fin Bow 230 Ship and Morgan movement The Fin is moving 10’/turn relative to the Journey and Morgan, and 80’/turn relative to anything (like a floating ice cube) stationary in the water. The Journey is moving 70'/turn relative to anything stationary. Those numbers are for a full turn, i.e., as if they are Dashing. I’m applying both ships’ movement at the end of the enemy turn. By "climbing" the rope with both hands, Morgan can move 10'/turn closer to the Journey, further from the Fin. By releasing slack in the rope, she turns herself stationary, adjusting her effective speed by the numbers above. E.g., she can release the slack and swim/Dash toward the Fin at a rate of 80+60 = 140'/turn.

Gillerithan Taverner - Sorcerer 3 A scatter of bolts spread from the Fin's bow, only one coming anywhere close to Gil, and suddenly a new berg floated right in the pirate ship's path. Gil muttered "Right right, eyes on the shooter, not on the lady." His shot went embarrassingly wide and splashed into the water well to port of the Fin. "Least they're as bad at this as me."

Morgan Morgan quickly reached the end of the rope that she had given herself, and when she popped through the waves and back to the surface, she saw the enemy vessel before her, seemingly unaware of the threat that she meant to pose to them. With stoic repetition, the primordial woman commanded a second ice cube to emerge a good few feet in front of the first one. At their speed... How many will they sustain hitting...? Will two suffice to break them...? Making the water crystalize into the heavy objects took Morgan several seconds, and now she was already rather close to their railing. Each cube that she called forth would leave herself open for the pirates to take an attempt at her life. Umberlee's own was enveloped in the cold of the depths, and it made her feel calm to know divine magic would help protect her as a replacement for the shield made of nacre that she had left behind on The Journey. She felt the rope that she was holding on grow taut and the momentum gripped her to pull her away from the frozen gifts to the pirates. The moment of impact was near. Answer me, Devil's Fin... Answer my call to the Wave...

Yacht Race Morgan creates another cube, then she, Storm, and Tolan, some more hopeful than others, watch the Devil’s Fin continue forward heedlessly… The ship knocks them aside with a modest thud. Each cube bounces along the side of the Fin, but this sound is drowned out by the increasing cheers and jeers of the pirates, who now have a good view, and increasingly good line of fire, on Morgan. Meanwhile, the odds in the long-range crossbow contest are beginning to show. Gil is shooting worse than ever, but one of the pirates finally 19 hit, 8 dmglands a countershot on the half-elf.

Gillerithan Taverner - Sorcerer 3 The cubes thudded into the Fin's bow and tumbled aside as the Fin returned fire. Gil grunted as one of them found the range, and muttered "Bastards." He turned to one of the crew. "Here, looking for cover if possibleyou guys got a barrel lyin' around, a crate maybe? Could use somethin' between me an' them." Barely summoning up the presence of mind to Shield as Reaction if hitcast if another pirate got lucky, he reloaded and fired again. It was hard to tell at the distance, but he thought he might have hit a cabin. One of the crew pushed a barrel to the railing and he ducked behind it. "Ya sure its been three minutes yet, Storm? Awful fast three minutes."

Morgan Morgan looked at the pirate ship in front of her with anticipation, yet when the ice cubes collided with the wooden bow of the Devil Fin they were simply barreled aside by the superior force of the pirate vessel, the force behind their weight far too small for how sturdily the Devil Fin had been built. And although observing these results was deeply disappointing for Morgan, the stillness of her face was never broken as she felt herself being dragged along by the Journey. That was... too weak...? The cleric of the deep had felt the might behind the single cube of ice that she had created and she had felt that surely it had to be enough to sink a wooden bastion like those that she had found at the bottom of the ocean in her youth. To learn that the land-treading races were ingenious enough that their vessels could easily stomach impacting with such forces of nature was humbling, in a way, yet it also put into perspective what one as small as her was able to do. After all... I am not Umberlee... The primordial woman had been shown the evidence that she had lacked to understand the forces at play and now her opinion of ships had risen. It seemed that these humans who could not breathe the sea had good reason to trust in their vessels to protect them from drowning as long as there were no storms involved. And such powers were far out of Morgan's purview, even as one who followed the Wavemother. To recognize herself as powerless against the pirate vessel was far from disturbing for Morgan though, because after all the ships of men had been built specifically to brave the powers of water and the sea. And still, Captain Schon had said herself that they could only defy Istishia's powers so much, and thus the original plan of freezing the Fin's rudder emerged back on the forefront of the genasi's mind. And then Morgan felt the faint hint of additional pull added to the rope which she was holding on to. Am I... being retrieved? It seemed that the harmless ice cubes had made Storm decide that it was time for Morgan to return to the deck of their allied vessel, but the primordial cleric had not seen her mission completed yet. And although she had received her answer to the question of whether she was able to break a ship's hull on her own power, Morgan rightly saw the original task which she had dove into the waves for as unattempted. There was a possibility that freezing the pirate's rudder would prove as equally useless as laying blocks of ice into its pathway, but Morgan was undaunted to let the pirate vessel show such evidence to her first. Watch your faithful servant remain as fluid as the Water Lord created my kind. The undine quickly let go of the rope which was pulling her away from her target, and as the pirates jeered at the opportunity to take her back under fire, Morgan swiftly robbed them of that chance for the moment as she dove underneath the waves again. She had gotten close enough to the Devil Fin that the enemy vessel would overtake her now, and so she readied herself to freeze the wooden hind fin into place. It was not going to prove to Umberlee that Morgan was strong enough to swim above her shadow, but it would show her as crafty and a survivor nonetheless. To protect... this crew and my pack!

Yacht Race While Gil endeavors to find a way to more effectively duel with the pirates, Storm decides that the time to abort Morgan’s mission had come, and begins to reel her in. Feeling this tug and having found no success with making cubes, Morgan makes her big move. She watches the hull of the Devil’s Fin pass above her. The ship’s bulk is terrifying from this angle, and its modest speed, seemingly inconsequential from the deck of the Journey, gives a very different impression to the genasi as she watches from a static position beside it. This thing would hit like a whale; it is good to be outside its path. Morgan The rules should probably give marine races good underwater vision, so I’ll pretend visibility isn’t an issue.peers up through the water, looking for the target described to her by Gil and the Journey’s crew. It isn’t hard to find. The Fin’s hull, like the Journey’s, is smooth, clean, and unadorned, all the way to the very end – the tail end, where Morgan sees the great beast’s disproportionately small tail. She has come to understand, of course, that this is so because this tail provides only steering, not propulsion. If she can disable it, she will not paralyze the ship entirely, but will only cripple its ability to change course. At these speeds, Morgan only has a few attempts at this attack, but as it turns out she needs only one. The genasi waves her hand through the water and a mass of ice appears around the rudder, filling the spaces around the big board, holding fast to the rudder and hull. Success! Now will it hold?

OOC Those aboard the Journey can't tell what has happened yet. Storm pulled Morgan back at 30'/turn. Gil missed, of course. The pirates have now copied his tactic of waiting behind cover. Let’s hold off on those exchanges for the moment – they’re boring, mostly inconsequential, and probably to the enemies’ benefit.

Distances figure relative distance Journey stern 0 Devil's Fin Bow 210 Morgan 240

Ship and Morgan movement The Fin is moving 10’/turn relative to the Journey and Morgan, and 80’/turn relative to anything stationary in the water. The Journey is moving 70'/turn relative to anything stationary. Those numbers are for a full turn, i.e., as if they are Dashing. I’m applying both ships’ movement at the end of the enemy turn. Morgan's rope is now completely slack, all 470' of it. Storm and/or Morgan can reel in the slack at 60' per full turn devoted to that.

Morgan Morgan focused on her elemental gifts and as the ice came into being and captured the pirate's method of steering their vessel, part of her doubted that it could hold such a beast that had even overcome ice blocks that would have smashed a living person and broke their bones at these speeds. But the other part of her was proud to have reached the conclusion that had been expected of her, and now only Schon's words had to hold true for the Journey to escape eventually. If the predator lames... the prey escapes... And although the primordial woman didn't even think to allow herself to become prey to these pirates, even if she forwent striking them down in retribution she had to acknowledge that in this race of ships the Journey had been counted as prey. While the divine magic of Umberlee still held Morgan in a protective bubble that meant to turn attacks directed at her away, the sea was an even greater shield against those that are restricted to breathe air. As she dove away from the frozen rudder the ocean blue around her was far and wide. To a human pirate, it spelled death if they got lost in it. And even Morgan would be lost to be left behind at the speeds that these vessels were going, but that's why she had tied herself to the rope and the strange harness that Schon had fastened for her. It would take a bit of time to catch up with the Journey, but first Morgan moved to simply get some distance from the pirates that could still harry her once the rope would grow taut and inevitably pull her back to the surface again.
