The stars are shinning down through a cloudless night like a thousand thousand glittering candles and the lullaby of the gentle surf washes over them. Lavinia takes Alohan’s hand and leans in against his shoulder, making his already attentive ‘royal eel’ even more alert as they leave the village and walk onto the beach.

“Amazing,” says Lavinia. “It is still so warm out here, and everything is so clean. Sasserine doesn’t have any decent beach you know. My goodness… wouldn’t it be amazing to swim under the stars?”

Not waiting for his answer, the young noblewoman giggles and turns him around so that he is facing away from the water.

“No peaking now!” she laughs, and Alohan hears the soft rustle of clothes hitting the ground followed by the sound of naked feet running down the beach. There is some splashing, and the noise of Lavinia gasping.

“The water is wonderful,” she yells out to him. “Come and join me!”

The barbarian turns and sees that Lavinia is already in the waves and pushing out past the break line of the surf, her bare back glimmering in the starlight. She turns, coyly hiding her naked breasts from his view with one arm, and beacons to him with the other to come into the water.

Meanwhile, back on the Sea Wyvern, those stuck on the boat are making their own fun. Somehow a way was found to purchase a good amount of that alcoholic coconut drink... 'kava' the locals call it, and all of you have enjoyed both the taste and the hefty kick it provides.

OOC: Kinstal, Angati and Urol please make two DC16 fort saves as per the pathfinder drinking rules. Now MF allowed since it is not an instantaneous effect.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras...-lab/drinking-rules/

Urol has also produced the last of his 'loco' weed stash and is feeling very mellow.

OOC: No further effect from that since he is so used to it, the smelly little miscreant!

OOC: The boat is several hundred yards away from where Lavinia just jumped into the water, docked at the village's wharf. There is good night-time visibility due to the starlight. All of you are on the deck, the guarding of the food temporarily forgotten about. The Blue Nixie is still moored out in the middle of the harbor.

11:20, Today: Angati rolled 24 using 1d20+5.  Fort save DC 16 first.
11:19, Today: Angati rolled 8 using 1d20+5.  Fort save DC 16 first.
So second line is actually the first roll... autocompletion really sucks at times.

Urol is enjoying the combined effects of both the drugs, the calming effects of the kava are somewhat muted by hit loco-weed (and perhaps his built-up tolerance allows his tiny body to process more than an expected amount of drugs.)

Nevertheless, the gnome lays back, luxuriating the in the feeling.

"Ah...miles away from immediate danger.  I feel like I'm draped inside of a large cup, totally at ease.  Nothing can topple me over."

15:47, Today: Urol Forol rolled 17 using 1d20+6.  fort 2.
15:47, Today: Urol Forol rolled 17 using 1d20+6.  fort 1.

Alohan lets a booming laugh of surprise carry out across the waters for the speed at which Lavinia has swam excites him even more.  A skilled swimmer, a invitation to her nakedness. This will be a great night!

He runs for the water, hurdling over the first few sets of waves, and then --springing like gazelle into the air-- he tucks into a flip and dives just under the surface of the water. A moment later the black shape of his upper torso emerges, shark-like, from the backside of a wave, and with long, reaching strokes he pulls himself across the wine-dark sea as easily as most men walk along the shore.

OOC: 15:29, Today: Alohan Nuari rolled 32 using 1d20+12. ((20)) swim.
15:28, Today: Alohan Nuari rolled 20 using 1d20+12.  (( 8 )) Acrobatics.

Kinstal decides it is time to relax and have a few drinks.

  15:50, Today: Kinstal Minare rolled 18 using 1d20+9.  Fort save 2.
15:50, Today: Kinstal Minare rolled 19 using 1d20+9.  Fort save 1.

While relaxing and having a cup Kinstal decides to find Skald and see how the man has been sleeping lately.

Angati is a little tipsy (stage I drunkenness, +2 to strength and constitution)

Kinstal is a tough sailor who knows how to handle his liquor - he declares the kava to be nothing more than 'coconut milk' and is not affected by it in the least.

As usual, the protective powers of loco-weed save Urol from all other attacks.

Skald takes his time over his drinks and doesn't get drunk at all.



Skald, mellowed by the night and the drink begins relating his story... but...



OOC: "shark-like"? an interesting choice of words...

Alohan reaches Lavinia quickly, and they embrace out in the deep water beyond where the waves break. The water gently rolls them up and down. The night seems darker out there, with the black swell blocking out some of the starlight.

Lavinia wraps her legs around him and strokes his bald head. Her voice changes... wistful and sad rather than lustful. "Oh Alohan, if only you'd just agreed to crack skulls for me down at the harbour," she whispers.

Before the barbarian has had a chance to process this, "Lavnia" dips beneath the surface. The aroused native is maybe not as suspicious as he should be, as this could be leading to a sex act that he has actually experienced before out in the surf, but when he feels a metal shackle clamp around one ankle he knows he is in trouble. "Lavinia" does not resurface. He starts yelling for help (or at least I assume he does. I sort of need him to do that so we can have the combat team all in once place).

And so the young prince is stuck there in the water out beyond the breakers, but he is not alone for long. Soon he sees several large dark fins cutting through the water. He is barely able to move, let alone defend himself, and the first two of the three sharks rip into his side and leg (23 hp damage).

Luckily those on the Sea Wyvern have heard his calls of alarm and have charged down the beach to find out what is happening. Kinstal, Angati, Urol and Skald appear around the corner of the bay.

N = Alohan Nuari
M = Kinstal Minare
U = Urol
S = Skald
1,2 & 3 = Sharks

Scale on the map is 1 square = 5'.

Alohan is manacled to some sort of chain attached to something really heavy. He could:

- use a full round action to make an escape artist check at DC35. This will trigger an AoO.
- make a strength check at DC16 to move 10' in one direction. No AoO triggered.
- fight the sharks with his bare hands

Alohan is totally naked and has no equipment on his person at all.

Alohan and the sharks are in 'dim light' meaning that:



Please go ahead and roll for the 20" miss chance when making a successful attack roll. The sharks don't need to make this roll since they have blind-sense.

And of course there is the water to think about:



Also, don't forget the firing into combat penalty if appropriate.

I anyone wants to jump into the water to help him, then use the swimming rules. This counts as 'rough water' due to the breaking surf.

<START OF PLAYERS' ROUND ONE>

Angati spirit was fuelled by the fire of the kava, so without thinking twice, she dived into the water. Other routes were probably better for her, like summoning help for his friend, but she felt some kind of rush in her blood that pushed her into the water. As she did so, the leather cloak took on a glistening black aspect and stretched adhering to her skin, transforming her into a large manta ray albeit with arms that sped through the waters towards Alohan.

She sped quickly towards the closest shark, her tail hitting it squarely on the nose, and her cestus slashing through its belly.

It felt so good to be a manta ray.
