Quest
* Stop Lysandris's Ghost by Exorcising it * Find the Letter to the Queen of Daggerfall and Destroy it
We're being placed on a merchant ship. We're simply traveling merchants and/or mercernaries to help the boat's journey. This mission is a secret, however when we arrive we'll meet with Lady Brisienna Magnessen, the Emperor's agent.
The ship itself is rather large - the shiphands don't particularly care.
During the journey, which lasts for several weeks, Terfir Lif, Leanne, and Kihrazad find out that they have a bandit group in common because they were all attacked by them. Terfir also lets spill that she's a Daedra worshipper.
While entering the bay on the end of the journey, the boat encounters a very strong magical storm that will hit us before we can make port.
Challenge
### Survive the Storm! `Casts-No-Shadow` basically just dodges the lightning from the storm and manages to not get struck by lightning. -6 Stamina, -2 Health `Leanna` uses her Alteration skill to try to weaken the storm which prevents her from getting hit by anything. -2 Health `Khira` uses her Athletics to catch crew around the deck. -2 Health, -1 Stamina `Terfir` didn't realize it was coming so she's going to use light armor to survive being tossed about below deck. -2 Health
Despite our best efforts, we couldn't save the ship.
Challenge
### Make it to Safety! Athletics check for everyone! `Casts` fails. -2 Health. `Leanne` fails. -2 Health. `Khira` fails. -2 Health. `Terfir` succeeds!
Leanne and Khira are knocked unconscious but Terfir and Casts-No-Shadows manage to drag them to shore and up into a cove. As we're recovering we speculate that the storm might have been directed at us.
Challenge
### Find Breakfast! `Casts-No-Shadows` tries to catch a fish and succeeds on using **stealth** to sneak up on it, but fails at a **one-handed** roll to get it. -3 health. The fish attempts to give him a disease, but his **alteration** skill prevents the fish from doing so. `Terfir` tries to punch the fish, and successfully kills it with **hand-to-hand** -4 stamina, 1 dead fish
Having had breakfast the team decides what their next move should be and how to get to Daggerfall from where they crashed.
First, we all rolled athletics to get up the cliffs and survey around. We manage to spot both a small fishing village and the wreckage of the ship. Khira decides this would be a great shipwreck to loot, so we all head down there to scavange
We find Arvel down on the shore, water logged and bloated - but still alive.
Challenge
### Save Arvel! `Leanne` tries to use her **medical** skill to save Arvel. She expended a lot of usages of Apothacary kits in order to save his life. -7 apothacary kits.
After saving Arvel and scavenging the remains from the ship, we headed into Gothway Gardens to recuperate.
While at The Hammer and Anvil Leanne runs into her parents: Lielle and Ancus. After discussing the magical nature of the storm, Ancus suggests he can find the source of it if only we head to a crypt and gather some stuff for him.
Quest
Go to [[Hallowed Shore]] and retrieve an ancient scroll. Probably with the body.
The parents decide to put us up at their place which is a homestead near to the town, which we arrive at uneventfully and rest for the night.
