RPT Log: Landfall 1 of 1
March 25, 2024, 2:30 a.m.

Editor's note: the usual caveats apply. This long is whole and complete except for the fact that my character's thinks/feels have been stripped (all but one!). Most OOC things are stripped as well, though I've left some in for funsies (and some no doubt unintentionally). <3

 

[The Greenest Dolphin, Main Deck, Fore]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
Worn by time but kept in good shape by consistent care, this Kalentoi-style naval freighter has proven itself capable of navigating the calmer fringes of the tumultuous Adelantean Sea.  A rectangular mainsail spreads out across a grid of ropes upheld by the mainmast here, while a steep and narrow stairway descends down past a hatch into the hold.  To aft, the quarterdeck stands over the captain's cabin, and to the fore is the deck above the forecastle that contains lodgings for both crew and passengers.
A heavy makeshift ashwood oar has been lashed with a broken length of chain, and fastened at the railing. (x3) A length of heavy chain has been broken harshly into shorter lengths, used to lash oars to the railing. A stack of 2 coils of heavy-duty hemp rope is here.
Also here are a dusky olive-skinned damsel and a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes. A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman is sitting beside the railing, holding a grimy wooden mug in her right hand. A gangling, black-haired sailor is standing near the railing. A hunched, elder woman is standing at the railing, holding a brass-capped reed cane in her right hand. A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin is standing near the railing. A stout, square-faced woman is standing on the way east to the fore. An explosive, impish woman is standing at the way east to the fore. A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair is standing near the railing. A lean, ink-eyed woman is standing near the railing, holding an assortment of small items in her right hand. A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man is leaning near the railing. A mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead is standing at the railing.
You are upon a ship. Fluffy clouds spot the bright blue sky.
Cardinal Exits: east to the fore and west to the aft
Other: down to the hold: wooden hatch (open), the forecastle: squat cabin door (closed), and out onto open waters (water)

The vessel rocks and creaks beneath you.

A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin runs east to the fore.
 
A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man looks up at the sky.
 
A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man smells the air.
 
A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair nods to a lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin, and then looks back to a gangling, black-haired sailor. "Anything else, for non-sailors to do? Anything need moving?" [in Sirdabi with a commanding bass-baritone]
 
A stout, square-faced woman says, "I'll go tell Iken." [in Sirdabi with a mellow contralto]
 
A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman smells the air.

Moving towards the way west to the aft, a stout, square-faced woman leaves the vicinity of the way east to the fore.  (Stand - at the general area -)

A hunched, elder woman says to you, "Storm is coming." [in Sirdabi with a sweet, shaky soprano]

A stout, square-faced woman runs west to the aft.

A hunched, elder woman peers towards east to the fore.

A dusky olive-skinned damsel raises her brows, moving to the railing to hold on, "Again?" [in Sirdabi with a youthful soprano]

A dusky olive-skinned damsel starts towards the railing.  (Stand - near the railing -)

A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man scans towards west to the aft.

Inaya passes through again, with a glance that pauses on a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes, then a hunched, elder woman at her words. "'Course it is," [in Sirdabi with a hoarsely broken, half-whispered contralto] she grunts sourly, moving for the aft.

A gangling, black-haired sailor lifts a two-fingered salute to you, opening his mouth to say ... no doubt, what a hunched, elder woman said, because he shuts it again.

A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man scans towards east to the fore.

A gangling, black-haired sailor sniffs the air and looks skyward...

A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin walks over from the way east to the fore.

Scattered clouds chase each other on the breeze.

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes gives you a little smile, before breaking into a chuckle, "We know we can weather worse, now." [in Sirdabi with a sonorous contralto]

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache walks over from the way east to the fore.

"I'll go check that no one is on the forepeak." A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair declares, unprompted.

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair steps away from the railing, leaving.

Inaya returns a gangling, black-haired sailor's salute with her own. "Start 'em reefin' the sails, now," she rasps over. "Takin' the wheel."

Nodding, a gangling, black-haired sailor says, "Aye, Captain." [in Sirdabi with a stiff baritone]

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair starts towards the way east to the fore.  (Stand - near the way east to the fore -)

A gangling, black-haired sailor shouts, "REEF THE SAILS!"

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache comes in from the fore. He squints over at a gangling, black-haired sailor and you, eavesdropping openly.

predict weather
Looking aft, a lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin says to you, "Shall I help at the helm? I'm useless in the rigging." [in Sirdabi with a low-toned baritone]

OOC (Dice): acuity + sailing - 95
You sniff the air and look skyward...
OOC: This action takes 12 seconds.

The ship floats peacefully onward.
An explosive, impish woman stands to her feet, weighing the pros and cons of falling asleep in a rope coil during a storm.

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair walks east to the fore.

You get the sense that the weather is going to turn squall, in roughly 17 minutes.
 
A gangling, black-haired sailor paces back and forth, shouting to crew and passengers alike in the rigging, by the railing.  (Room Pose Set)

An explosive, impish woman is stood near the rails, loitering with intent.  (Room Pose Set)

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache lingers warily.  (Room Pose Set)

A hunched, elder woman peers at the squat cabin door with a an annoyed sigh. "Alright, everyone who can't help should get inside," she urges, making her own way in.

Moving towards the frame of the open wooden hatch, an explosive, impish woman leaves the vicinity of the way east to the fore.  (Stand - at the general area -)

A lean, ink-eyed woman nods to a hunched, elder woman's words. She gazes outwards at the water for several for moments, then turns.

A lean, ink-eyed woman goes to stand near the closed squat cabin door.
A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man furrows his brows in worry, but nods in agreement at a hunched, elder woman's suggestion and starts moving towards the squat cabin door.
Jumping off the railing a soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman says, "Mayhap I can help at the wheel again." [in Salawi with a lilting soprano]
A hunched, elder woman opens the squat cabin door.

"Storm hits, everybody fuckin' better get below an' get the fuck -down-," Inaya instructs the crowd, with some effort to raise her hoarse voice at least a little, sort of barking it out like a dog with its vocal cords cut. "'Less you can keep your legs. 'f you can keep 'em, help at the wheel."

A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man goes to move near the frame of the open squat cabin door, joining a lean, ink-eyed woman.

A stout, square-faced woman runs over from the way west to the aft.

The ship drifts on gently, the scent of the brine thick across the sea.

A towering brute with shorn raven hair walks over from the way west to the aft.

A hunched, elder woman makes some vague gathering gestures, shooing the gathered inwar.

An explosive, impish woman starts towards the frame of the open wooden hatch.  (Stand - near the frame of the open wooden hatch -)

A towering brute with shorn raven hair peers towards the open wooden hatch.

Moving towards the frame of the open squat cabin door, a hunched, elder woman leaves the vicinity of the railing.  (Stand - at the general area -)

A towering brute with shorn raven hair peers towards the open squat cabin door.

A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman straightens to stand near the railing.

A mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead says, "I don't think I can, in a storm. I'll get out of the way." [in Sirdabi with a whiny baritone]

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes rolls her shoulders one after another, telling you, "I can handle a few bumps if you need people at the wheel."

A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin nods and trots toward the aft, pausing to call to a hunched, elder woman, "See you on the other side, Grandmother."

"Not you," Inaya grunts to a towering brute with shorn raven hair, apparently continuing something she was saying earlier, pointing at him.

A hunched, elder woman takes stock of a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes.

Moving towards the frame of the open squat cabin door, a mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead leaves the vicinity of the railing.  (Stand - at the general area -)

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache goes to move near the frame of the open squat cabin door, joining a lean, ink-eyed woman and a short, reddish-gold-eyed young man.

There is a raise of a towering brute with shorn raven hair's eyebrow, as he simply looks at you, and asks, "What." [in Sirdabi with a gravelly, rumbling bass]

An explosive, impish woman walks away through the wooden hatch.

You tell a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes, "You sit your ass on the ground and hold from there, maybe."

A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin starts towards the way west to the aft.  (Stand - near the way west to the aft -)

A hunched, elder woman lets out an discontent grunt at a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes, nodding along with your command.

Calling out to those staying on deck before he heads inside, a short, reddish-gold-eyed young man says, "Dreamer keep you all safe!" [in Sirdabi with a light, airy tenor]

A short, reddish-gold-eyed young man walks away through the squat cabin door.

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache peers back from where he hangs about near the squat cabin door, watching the exchanges on the deck.

A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin walks west to the aft.

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes considers your words, before exhaling again, "Suppose I can do that. I'll be weighed down anyway." She raps a knuckle against her cuirass.

The ship beneath you floats smoothly upon calm waves.

A hunched, elder woman walks away through the squat cabin door.

A mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead starts towards the frame of the open squat cabin door.  (Stand - near the frame of the open squat cabin door -)

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair walks over from the way east to the fore.

Inaya casts an -incredibly- suspicious, dubious look at a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes's armour. She says nothing.

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes simply reminds you with a smirk, "Sand rat."

A towering brute with shorn raven hair peers towards west to the aft.

A dangerous cold front tears at the sails, threatening an oncoming winter squall.

"I kept falling last time." A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman mutters before hurrying inside.

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair looks around briefly, before announcing, "...Only Vahi was at the forepeak. I informed him to get below deck. Anything else for non-sailors to do, or should we all just get below-deck?"

Muttering as he grabs at the sides of a well-worn, camel-hair-trimmed riding coat of maroon wool to pull them tighter, a plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache says, "Bugger the Shadow." [in Irzali]

"Fuck," [in Salawi] Inaya grunts, then looks to a soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman. "'f you can't keep your legs, get inside, an' get down," she tells her.

[You are standing.]
[The Greenest Dolphin, Main Deck, Fore]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
Worn by time but kept in good shape by consistent care, this Kalentoi-style naval freighter has proven itself capable of navigating the calmer fringes of the tumultuous Adelantean Sea.  A rectangular mainsail spreads out across a grid of ropes upheld by the mainmast here, while a steep and narrow stairway descends down past a hatch into the hold.  To aft, the quarterdeck stands over the captain's cabin, and to the fore is the deck above the forecastle that contains lodgings for both crew and passengers.
A heavy makeshift ashwood oar has been lashed with a broken length of chain, and fastened at the railing. (x3) A length of heavy chain has been broken harshly into shorter lengths, used to lash oars to the railing. A stack of 2 coils of heavy-duty hemp rope is here.
Also here is a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes. A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman is standing beside the railing, holding a grimy wooden mug in her right hand. A gangling, black-haired sailor paces back and forth, shouting to crew and passengers alike in the rigging, by the railing. A dusky olive-skinned damsel is standing near the railing. A mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead is standing at the forecastle. A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache is standing by the forecastle. A stout, square-faced woman is here. A towering brute with shorn raven hair is here. A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair is here.
You are upon a ship. Fluffy clouds spot the bright blue sky.
Cardinal Exits: east to the fore and west to the aft
Other: down to the hold: wooden hatch (open), the forecastle: squat cabin door (open), and out onto open waters (water)

The vessel rocks and creaks beneath you.

Moving towards the frame of the open wooden hatch, a soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman leaves the vicinity of the railing.  (Stand - at the general area -)

A dusky olive-skinned damsel shivers, frowning faintly, then heads for the hatch.

Moving towards the frame of the open wooden hatch, a dusky olive-skinned damsel leaves the vicinity of the railing.  (Stand - at the general area -)

There seems to be a moment of consideration by the Tessouare, but eventually there is just a brief nod from a towering brute with shorn raven hair, "Hopefully, you have the strength, then." That said, the man moves to find shelter inside.

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes starts towards the way west to the aft.  (Stand - near the way west to the aft -)

A towering brute with shorn raven hair starts towards the frame of the open squat cabin door.  (Stand - near the frame of the open squat cabin door -)

A plump, nimble fellow with a dainty mustache walks away through the squat cabin door.

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair seems to at least pick up the intent of what you is saying, and nods. "That's what I'll do, then."

A lean, red-haired young man walks over from the way east to the fore.

A gangling, black-haired sailor shouts, "NOW! REEF THE SAILS NOW! COMING IN FAST!"

A mahogany-haired man with a hole-marked forehead walks away through the squat cabin door.

A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes runs west to the aft.

A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman starts towards the frame of the open wooden hatch.  (Stand - near the frame of the open wooden hatch -)

A towering brute with shorn raven hair walks away through the squat cabin door.
A lean, red-haired young man starts towards the frame of the open squat cabin door.  (Stand - near the frame of the open squat cabin door -)
A limber, way-worn male walks over from the way east to the fore.

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair scans towards west to the aft.

A shout in a lilting, honeyed tenor breaks out from the way out onto open waters.
                "I HAVE THEM." [in Sirdabi with a lilting, honeyed tenor]

You feel a slight soreness from your wounds but it seems to be healing.
A limber, way-worn male turns away from the prow, walking back and frowning to himself.

Inaya pauses, casting a glance upward with a sudden, perhaps strange little smile. Then she's off aftward, stalking down the deck.

Moving towards the railing, a soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman leaves the vicinity of the frame of the open wooden hatch.  (Stand - at the general area -)

Cardinal Exits: east to the fore and west to the aft
Other: down to the hold: wooden hatch (open), the forecastle: squat cabin door (open), and out onto open waters (water)

The vessel rocks and creaks beneath you.

A lean, red-haired young man walks away through the squat cabin door.

A dusky olive-skinned damsel starts towards the frame of the open wooden hatch.  (Stand - near the frame of the open wooden hatch -)

Inaya starts towards the way west to the aft.  (Stand - near the way west to the aft -)

A burly, sienna-hued young man with short walnut-brown hair starts towards the frame of the open squat cabin door.  (Stand - near the frame of the open squat cabin door -)

A soft-featured, dark-skinned young woman goes to stand near the frame of the open wooden hatch, joining a dusky olive-skinned damsel.

An explosive, impish woman walks through the wooden hatch.

You walk west to the aft.
[The Greenest Dolphin, Main Deck, Aft]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
At the back end of the main deck, the captain's cabin hunkers below the quarterdeck. The battered hardwood of the Greenest Dolphin is evidently kept ship-shape by regular swabbing with oil and tar. Above, the network of ropes that manages the mainsail creaks in any wind.
( Someone has recently taken pains to clean the deck, of both moss and blood spatter.)
A large patchwork of sailcloth and scraps hangs from the spar above, catching the wind. A rough patch of deck is left here. An iron-banded wooden pail is here.
You are upon a ship. Fluffy clouds spot the bright blue sky.
Cardinal Exits: east to the fore and west to the aft
Other: the Captain's Cabin: squat cabin door (closed) and the mainmast (steep)


You peer towards the mainmast...
[The Greenest Dolphin, On a Repaired Mast]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
Near the bottom of the mainmast, activity on the deck is relatively close and crowded as compared to further above where the great sky presses in on the mast and sails. The rigging creaks, tensely strung in its sweeping nets, and while the heavy lengths of thick rope are perfect for gripping as handholds, they can sometimes be slippery from the salty spray, and the roiling motion of the ship on the waves making climbing a precarious and vertigo-inducing activity.
(The mizzenmast has been secured here recently.)
An unfurled canvas sail is unfurled, the spars set at beam-reach against the northern wind.
A striking, violet-eyed youth with chaotic black curls is sitting here. A short, sable-haired young man is sitting here.
You are upon a ship. Fluffy clouds spot the bright blue sky.
Cardinal Exits:
Other: down (steep)

The ship flows gently across tranquil waters.

You shout, "AYE, GOOD WORK, CREW."

A stout, square-faced woman walks over from the way east to the fore.

Inaya is looking upward toward the mast above. She glances back to a stout, square-faced woman, eyes narrowing. "You gonna keep your feet?" [in Sirdabi] she asks, hoarse.

The ship beneath you moves across serene waves.

A stout, square-faced woman frowns. "Maybe. I've been learning from Tekra, but I haven't sailed in a storm before. If it becomes a problem, I'll head below deck."

Stormclouds darken the sky, and distant thunder rolls. Cold and harsh, rain begins to pelt the deck.

A stout, square-faced woman glances at a the mainmast.

Inaya just nods to a stout, square-faced woman, either accepting or not having the time to argue it. She moves for the quarterdeck and the wheel.

[You are standing.] (An imposing, ebon-dark woman is here.)
[The Greenest Dolphin, Main Deck, Aft]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
At the back end of the main deck, the captain's cabin hunkers below the quarterdeck. The battered hardwood of the Greenest Dolphin is evidently kept ship-shape by regular swabbing with oil and tar. Above, the network of ropes that manages the mainsail creaks in any wind.
( Someone has recently taken pains to clean the deck, of both moss and blood spatter.)
A large patchwork of sailcloth and scraps hangs from the spar above, catching the wind. A rough patch of deck is left here. An iron-banded wooden pail is here.
A stout, square-faced woman is here.
You are upon a ship. Thunder rolls across the heavens as a storm rages.
Cardinal Exits: east to the fore and west to the aft
Other: the Captain's Cabin: squat cabin door (closed) and the mainmast (steep)

Inaya starts towards the way west to the aft.  (Stand - near the way west to the aft -)

A burst of wind creaks the rigging as the ship battles across ferocious waves.

Fighting through the howling storm, you walk up west to the aft.
[The Greenest Dolphin, Quarterdeck]
You are on [a timeworn naval freighter].
The quarterdeck is accessed by short, tight stairs on either side of the door to the captain's cabin. Up here, the large wheel is mounted facing the far front of the ship, with a fine view of the main deck and the forecastle. A battered wooden railing surrounds the dutifully-swabbed planks here, preventing unintended spills from this height above the waves.
( The wheel has been locked into a course towards the northeast.)
A gritty circular holystone is here. A rough patch of deck is left here.
A lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin is manning the helm. A heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes is standing near a large spoked ship's wheel.
You are upon a ship. Thunder rolls across the heavens as a storm rages.
Cardinal Exits: down to the main deck eastward

At a short distance toward the way down to the main deck eastward, you see: A stout, square-faced woman scans towards east to the fore.

At mid-distant range toward the way east to the fore, you see: Out of Character: a limber, way-worn male rolled will at hard difficulty and the result was a pass.

Dryly, as the rain begins to pour downward, speaking up over the wind, a lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin says, "Let's just hope there's no land out there waiting for us."

At a short distance toward the way down to the main deck eastward, you see: Fighting through the howling storm, a stout, square-faced woman runs away up west to the aft.
Fighting through the howling storm, a stout, square-faced woman runs up from the way down to the main deck eastward.

At mid-distant range toward the way east to the fore, you see: A limber, way-worn male closes the wooden hatch.

Inaya just moves for the wheel with a look and a nod to a lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin and a heavyset, curvaceous virago with amethyst eyes. "There is," she grunts, scowling.  (Move - near a large spoked ship's wheel -)

A stout, square-faced woman hurries in, her arm thrown in front of her face to ward off the rain.

At mid-distant range toward the way east to the fore, you see: A gangling, black-haired sailor glances towards a limber, way-worn male. "S------ -- ----?!" he shouts, over the wind and rain. "---- s--- ----------'s ---- ----!"

Softly, perhaps lost in the wind, a lofty, ebony-curled man with tawny skin says, "Hell."

A stout, square-faced woman peers about.

A stout, square-faced woman peers towards the railing.
 
At mid-distant range toward the way east to the fore, you see: An explosive, impish woman starts towards the closed wooden hatch.  (Stand - near the closed wooden hatch -)
 
At mid-distant range toward the way east to the fore, you see: A limber, way-worn male pauses at the threshold of the hatch, and looks over at a gangling, black-haired sailor. The cold rain and wind starts to lash. "--'-- ---- ----s. - ---- ----." [in Sirdabi with a steady, measured baritone]
