"Yes, let us save those we can nearby," Anton's voice takes on a ringing, more urgent quality, "Faina, you would have us abandon the forces of Light in a battle in their eternal war against the foul denizens of the Abyss? Come, we must aid them! Such is nothing more and nothing less than our sacred duty from the gods themselves!"

Re: The Story so far...
Faina : "I remind you, Sir Anton, that we are not on some journey where our time is plenty and we can afford to toss luck to the winds and do as our impulses wish. There is an operation to be launched, and people back in Sasserine who await news of our success. Are you telling me that we should jeopardize the mission in order to help these celestials whom we have no clue is even doing here? That we should gamble upon the lives of all those who sacrificed themselves to defend the city, and all those who hang upon our success in this mission ? Furthmore we are onboard a ship. What is there to defend us in the seas if some deep water demon attacks us from below and shattered our vessel with a single blow, wrecking not only the lives of our crew but also ruining any chance of accomplishing our mission ?"
"Sir Anton, please think of your responsibilities, to both Sasserine and to the crew of this ship, before letting your pride do all the talking."

Re: The Story so far...
Anton does not shrink, but responds "Frankly, such a demon could strike at any time. Of course, our first priority must be a fellow ship in trouble much closer. If we are in no shape to go after that, or the storm worsens, then naturally we do not go. But if we can, it does not appear that far out of our way. It may even be connected to our mission, there were demons at Sasserine and Vanthus certainly looked as though he'd associated closely with those on his moral level."

Re: The Story so far...
Faina: "They could strike, yes, but going there also raises the possibility significantly, just like the chances between getting capsized in fair weather or in stormy weather. Furthermore, I think if the Eladrin are also involved, it's not a merely case of demons being summoned as they were with the crimson fleet, but something far more serious, with far more powerful demons involved."
"And regarding the other ship..." Faina looks towards the direction in which she sensed the ship with angry eyes, but tries to hold back on what she really wishes for "...I agree we should help, and I really want to help them, but... well... I guess it shouldn't raise the danger levels by that much."
"What do you think, Tann?"

*After Tann replies, not trying to interrupt the captain or anything*
"I say we go help. I'm actually for seeing what we can do to help the Eladrin too, But if the ship can't take it, the ship can't take it." Alexius states, starting off determined, and ending with his usual indifferent tone that the crew has come to expect of him when discussing where to go.

An odd silence fell over the crew as no reply came from the captain. Seconds later, off in the distance, a few (anyone who beat a DC 20 listen and spot with -10 modifiers) could hear bombard-fire in the distance, a even fewer noticed what looked like signal flares being shot into the sky...
"Fireworks!" Yelled Calian. "Someone up ahead is in trouble!"

(From now on, always factor in a -10 to any spot or listen checks).

(BURNING 2AP FOR REROLL, NOW HAVE 5 AP LEFT X_X)
(yeah, its official, the gods of random number generators hate me right now)
Tannhauser grits his teeth as he tries his hardest to keep the ship steady. "I'm a little busy right now people. The eye will have calmer seas, but do you truly wish to fight Demons when the weather conditions can change at a moments notice? And the other ship could use our help as well. Regardless of the morality of either choice, both of those choices would leave us sailing into heavier storms and thus risking damage to the ship and injury to the crew. I am not willing to risk the safety of the ship and crew, both of which are required for us to carry out our mission. Get the rest of the crew back onboard, I'm sailing us out of the storm once they are."

Re: The Story so far...
Despite the great effort put forth by the captain, he was not able to pull the ship threw the oncoming surge of water in time. The 'Wyvern sailed over an incoming wave, but down into a surge just as it was forming, causing the sea level to rise higher than the deck long enough for at least four feet of sea water to slam into the crew upon the deck.
(DC 20 STR to withstand the wave (if you succeed a DC 15 DEX check, you receive a +2 bonus for being albe to hold on to something) from Dave, Scott, and Judson).
As the ship began to take on water, Tann new that if he did't pull the ship out of the surge soon, the 'Wyvern was not going to make it.
(I need a Prof: Sailor Check from Marty. Dai and Eric are both encouraged to make aid another checks, considering that if they both had successfully aided the last one, Marty would have made the check.)
Also, Faina receives a message from Faerlan...
Faina, this is Faerlan! I have Saerlani! Can't hold on much longer! Current location is North... The message cuts off suddenly, and abruptly.

Re: The Story so far...
( Drew: did you factor in the +6 bonus from Stormrunner's Ward last sailor check ? )
( Profession[sailor] aid other check: 12 )
Faina: "Tann, got a message from Faerlan saying he's found Saerlani, except he cut off and I have no clue where he is. All he said is north."
( approximately how long ago has it been since Faerlan left the ship ? )
DM: Stormrunner's ward was factored in. The last time you saw Faerlan was before the break in the storm.
