Session 36- Cutting Capers on the Persimmon Sea

7/31/2022

• Rams leave Marlinko and travel back down the river 

  to the Persimmon Sea and begin to travel west.

• Tim and Fecus introduce Lachada to Sillai and they 

  get along well immediately.  Lachada dives into writing 

  the Golden Barge’s first written technical manual. In Elven.

• Tim requests the Ghul who is acting ship’s cook to 

  not serve beets.

• The first morning at sea, two boats are spotted to the 

  SW of the Golden Barge by Sasha, Yuri, Yaroj, and Alezbta.

• Tim and Fecus station everybody (with the exception 

  of Sillai and Lachada) at a cannon and proceed to 

  intercept the galley that is pursuing a small fishing boat.

• As the Golden Barge slowly begins to close the distance, 

  Tim sends Geoff riding his giant robin out to scout what 

  exactly is going on between the two craft.

• Geoff reports back that the galley and fishing boat are 

  both known to Rams.  The galley is the Whiskey Tea 

  from S.U.D. and the fishing boat is Onegin’s Mare from 

  Ctyri Ctvrt.

• Tim and Fecus send Geoff back to tell Whiskey Tea to 

  stand down.  They yell back at him to fuck off and fire a 

  ballista bolt at him, barely missing his mount the giant 

  Robin.  Geoff retaliates by firing a magic missile at the 

  Whiskey Tea.  This dismasts the galley and sets its sails 

  on fire (-1 SHP).

• Geoff moves on to Onegin’s Mare and encourages 

  Onegin and the children to make their way to the 

  Golden Barge for sanctuary.  Onegin is too disoriented 

  to agree and one of the children steps in to communicate 

  and makes Onegin steer towards the Barge.

• Fecus sees the attack on Geoff and begins the cannon 

  barrage that almost sinks the Whiskey Tea.  5 cannons 

  miss, but Yuri and Yaroj punch through and through 

  right at the waterline (-10 SHP).

• Onegin’s Mare is pulled onto the deck of the Golden Barge.  

  Onegin collapses and he and the children are tended to by 

  G.B.s crew.

• After some verbal back and forth, Whiskey Tea’s captain 

  and first mate surrender.  They move to the G.B. and 

  Alezbta, Pavol, Ornie, Boy, and 1 Ghul board the 

  Whiskey Tea to aid in repairing the vessel.

• The Golden Barge is towed back to Ctyri Ctvrt.

• Tim and Fecus meet with Danika to get an update of 

  the goings on in the hamlet since their departure several 

  days before.  The dead have been buried and the relevant 

  peasants have begun their agriculture and market activities.  

  The three children from Onegin’s Mare return to their 

  adoptive mothers Ludka and Farka.  Tim and Fecus give 

  Danika 100gp to fund various projects in the hamlet.

• Tim and Fecus begin negotiations to employ the Whiskey Tea 

  and its crew as a fleet companion.

• The Whiskey Tea will take 4 days to repair, giving the 

  Rams and crew of W.T. some downtime if they aren’t 

  needed for repair work.

• Tim wishes to continue magical research on Smerc’s Stone 

  and the magic item recovered from Onegin’s Mare (Onegin’s Torc).

• 360xp was awarded for subduing the Whiskey Tea’s crew

• 120xp each for Tim and Fecus

• 60xp each for selected hirelings
