(IC) Shipwrecked


Upon the shore is the scattered remains of the ship's crew and vessel. There's not much left of the powerful ship, bits of the hull lining the shore. Most of the metal or anything with weight seems to be lost within the confines of the ocean. Some of the not so lucky crew lie upon the water presumably dead or close to it. A few are gathered up upon the beach, taking stock of what just happened a few moments before.

A monstrous creature emerged from the murky depths much larger then the ship. Even with the cannons billowing out with their payloads it didn't stop the beast. It ripped into the vessel, tearing it apart. A few unlucky passengers are engulf within its mouth, swallowed hole. The ship exploded moments later. Within moments the ship was nothing more then debree and the creature slips down into the water. All is silent.

Yet some survived. Where is the captain? The other members of the crew? Some who survived are passengers, some are members appointed by the King and country to establish order and the captain allowed it.

So the adventure has begun but not as planned....

What a horrible day that was.. surely they'd be rescued in a few days? Atleast Lenore was able to secure most of her things from the ship before it went down and made it on a lifeboat before that too sank by the time it made it to the shallows. Only thing she forgot in her haste were her boots.. but so far there was atleast only soft warm sand under her feet.

Finding a spot on the beach she unloaded all her stuff, sighing as she drew a hand across her moist brow before eyeing the debris filled coastline. Perhaps something could still be salvaged? There were dead bodies around but.. she imagined those didn't have anything helpful on them.. not to mention rifling through such would leave a bad taste in her mouth.


Lenore is studying the water and debris for anything interesting

The monk and cleric noticed the ships hull lying on the beach but the rest of the ship is either in pieces or lost within the sea. And the ranger spots three people, not moving covered in seaweed. One of them lost their arm, another lost their leg. Its horrible. Seveal barrels float in the sea about sixty or so feet away. Some others float, not moving. And some lay upon parts of the ship. Whatever hit the ship several times was even bigger then it! Its lucky anyone survived. Everyone else is soaked, barely making it to the shore. About 80 or so feet away is a lot of woodlands. In the sky several birds fly about watching. Waiting. But they don't look like normal birds. Just different, hard to tell.

Atleast there seemed to be a few survivors on the beach that she noticed, so that was good news. Hopefully there were plenty more elsewhere. "..The water looks calm enough.." Lenore began to herself. "Those barrels out there could still have some supplies." She had some basic familiarity with swimming, and knew how to float and keep her head above water, but had few opportunities to really practice a proper form.. nonetheless she ensured all her gear and supplies remained on the pile she dumped earlier to make her weigh as little as possible and paddles out from the beach to see how far she could get to the barrels, as long as the water remained calm with no treacherous currents.

14:06, Today: Lenore rolled 14 using 1d20+2.  Athletics (swimming).
