Questions, Discussion...
-
On the way back, can we take 20 to do a thorough search of the trapped storage room with the symbol of Quan Yin in it?
-
Yes, and please list and magical means you use. I assume Detect Magic.

Yes, I'll be using Detect Magic.
-
There is nothing magical in the room.

Bonus xp for whoever posts a tale of what happened for Claude.

To be clear, four captured men are in the brig of the Pride; four are in the captured ship's brig; and where is the last one?
-
Here is a list of things found in the quartermaster's room on the Kakushin:
- Holy Statuette of Quan Yin symbol
- Sextant
- Four hour glass (over a foot tall)
- Three waterproof chests (open with the captain's skeleton key but all have been emptied of valuables)
- Waterproof paper (80 pages)
- Ink (three colors, several vials of each)
-
The captain's room, which is a small room in the forecastle, has the following:
- 64 Gold Coins
- Two dozen small gems
- Silvered dagger
- Spyglass
- Two potions
Many unremarkable personal items, nothing magical.
On the captain, you find nice equipment and non-magical wedding ring, several throwing knives and the Horarian Short Sword which is magical.
Note that you have the captain captured, according to the Steward.
-
The storerooms have nothing notable. Basic things you need to maintain the ship. They are less full than you would expect, but you assume much of it was moved off the boat as they were unloading. You saw nothing valuable or of note among the buildings are you waited that they might have unloaded.
-
Bonus xp for whoever posts a tale of what happened for Claude.
The scouting party was sly, noting everything by eye.
Messages were sent away, the Pride to arrive in less than a day.
The pirate ship docked, our attention was locked.
Crew and supplies brought to shore, our anticipation growing more and more.
Friendly boarding party arrives via stealth, not giving the pirates time to hide their wealth.
Giant croc goes crash, frightened Horarians go splash, Valdis' axe goes smash.
Fire breathing lizard, impaled innards.
Pirates overwhelmed, cowards flee the helm.
Captain captured, Chase's charms enrapture.
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, the pirate crew surrenders to the Pride.
-
Veronica claps and bounces ...
Rin rolls her eyes..
-
I award 150xp for that recap, nicely done.
-
The first full day at sea after capturing the ship is the 25th day of the 11th month of 787.
-
So, how does our captain handle the confiscation of goods during a time of war? Are we legally allowed to keep the magic items, coin, etc. we got from the other ship? If so, how is it divided up?
How long before we reach Port Talp?
We need to interrogate the pirate captain for some answers on what they were up to on the island and why the prisoners were captured. We'll need Rin as an interpreter, of course.
Is it safe to free the other prisoners? Can Sasskra (sp?) provide any insight on who they are?
-

The captain says that the contract signed by all of the corsair captains gives them rights to everything on the ship that is not part of the ship (excluding magic parts of the ship).
Ultimate authority on who gets the items belongs to the captain. Ispolis says, "The boarding party that took part in the battle to capture the ship can make first claims."
-
How long before we reach Port Talp?
About 8 days, depending on the weather.
-

Yes, the captain has a discussion with the officers about who the best interrogators are.
-

Gabriel, Rin, and Valdis know one of the Vass and vouch for him.
-

Ssaskra is a very competent diplomat (+28); he will volunteer/convince the officers to allow him to participate in any interrogations.

Both of the other liberated Vass were crew on the Riptide.
-
Captain Ispolis says, "I want the interrogators to be able to speak Horarian."
-
Claude will remind the Captain that he speaks fluent Horarian and offers to identify any of the items that the crew has confiscated. He can let the crew know what they do and the value.

Rin as well as Veronica speak Horarian.

Rin sends a request to the Pride, requesting that Veronica use her forgery check to make a viper fleet flag for the captured ship, which she names "The Killer Whale". She then orders all prisoners stripped and dresses her crew in their clothes. She sends a captain to captain message to Ispolis
" I believe we can disguise The Killer Whale and give any pirate ships we run into the way back something else to think about. Once we spot other ships we can pretend to be fighting, firing wadded paper. By igniting several small grease fires about either ship we might be able to force them to come to our aid, or pull along side you without firing! Something added to our arsenal"

The response back is, "I like that idea, well thought First Mate. Make it so."

Reply, you mean
"You mean Captain Matamoso!"

Master Mariner Isyawi suggests, "We should try to change the name of the ship as well."
-
Master Mariner Isyawi suggests, "We should try to change the name of the ship as well."
Rin replies " Which ship? I am standing on " The Orca"" She pauses.. " Make that the The Hunting Orca"
-
Isayawi says, "This ship. If we have the flag of a Viper Fleet ship, we should have one of their names as well. A color and then the word for viper, in Horarian."
-

Yes, agreed. That's why I asked the sail maker to replicate. However I don't know if a ship of this configuration will fit in with the Viper fleet.
-
Isayawi says, "Its not usual from what I've seen, but I think it better to go with an expected name than not."
-
First Mate Rin gets to decide to some degree who is on 'her' ship.
Sas and the two freed Vass as well as four prisoners in the brig are on it. Veronica is on it with her sewing tools to make the flag. Armand, who was the gunner that came with you on the raid, stays as the 'master gunner'.
Isyawi the Horarian master mariner joins the crew (he has been talking to you anyway). Takasuni, a Horarian season comes aboard as well. The only other Horarian, Midiyiro who has been seen during battle with a katana, does not.
Len joins the crew as the doctor. Ritvali the Gree joins, but the other Gree Rodian goes back to the Pride.
Chase is the midshipman assigned to the new ship.
Nassisik and Felji, who had both been involved in the raid and both attend Rin's services daily also join her crew.
That's 13.
-
The captain decides upon Chase and Rin, along with Master at Arms Sal to do the interrogation. Sal speaks Horarian.
"Chase, use your powers to encourage him to speak." says the captain.
-
"Chase, use your powers to encourage him to speak." says the captain.
With a nod and a wink..."I'll see what I can do."
-
The captain of the captured ship is named Kirumito; the steward is Hetsu.
