Re: Adventure 4: Course Correction
It doesn't take long to determine that the flow of the water is improving your Drift speed by around 27%. At the rate you are going, you'll exit The Drift a day full ahead of schedule.
However, the water is interfering with your sensors a bit. Visually, of course, you get the typical defractional distortion, but somehow, it's doing the same thing to the other sensors, too. Any blend of Computers, Perception and Physical Sciences skills can attempt to reduce this distortion... DC15.
This becomes significant a day before destination coordinates are reached because you suddenly find yourselves moving alongside the Veskarium ship! It's avoiding the water as it moves but isn't quite adept at it because of its size and the fluidity of the water. At one point, there's less than 5' between the two ships, but the Vesk don't seem to know you are there.
After a few hours of this, the Vesk pilot apparently gets tired of playing 'chicken' with the water and veers off at a tangent.
