3G - SWW - Part Six: The Masher Reef
OOC: Oh dear, oh dear...
A tremendous lurch strikes the ship and the sound of splintering wood is heard over the howling wind. The ship comes to a sudden halt, sending those on deck sliding along the slick wood.
The ship has run aground on a reef a few miles from shore.
The next few minutes is spent trying to patch up the damage as much as possible, but the ship has been holed in several places and it is only by putting the entire crew to work at bailing that the Sea Wyvern can stay afloat. As the night grows darker it is clear that their beloved vessel is in poor shape.
The storm abates somewhat, and Alohan is at least able to captain the vessel off the reef. He steers it, limping with crushed sidewalls and tattered sails towards the looming jungle clad mountains in the distance. Then, caught by the storm and the tide, the badly listing Sea Wyvern is driven towards the shore. The primeval vista looms larger at the party through the driving rain, periodically lit by flashes of lightning. Suddenly the Sea Wyvern tilts crazily to one side, lurches one last time, and rolls.
