<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: is asleep on the ship and doesn't need to sneak.
Inv Zora Polasis: Ummm ... neither?

Rothuss Carder: We need a trophy from the Navy ship. One of their flags, maybe.
Inv Zora Polasis: I don't want to steal from the Navy thank you
<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: snorts
Lirtimya: Stealing from the navy isn't a good idea, especially since we have church people
Carissa (Vee Barlett): but if we let rothuss steal from the navy then he goes to jail and all our problems are solved.... right? ;)
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): no because then we will have to break him out
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): that requires a soundtrack
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: sighs dispiritedly.

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, but he didn't wake up for Vee hitting the wheel.
BOB Getting the full proper name now
Temperance: Hm... has anyone else tried hitting the railing besides you?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oooh offical name now

Temperance: That's true.
Temperance: Strange...
Vee Barlett: But not the wheel? Well at least he knows his place. Right Werner?
<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: hits the rail.
Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: It is not the railing, it is the hitting
Rothuss Carder: And I wouldn't hit him so often if he'd just talk to me.
Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: Would you like it if someone starting wacking you with a stick to get your attention?
wyjyoon (Temperance): is he talking to everyone or just vee?
Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: (Just Vee)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): thought we could hear him though
Vee Barlett: I stab them but ya don't got arms.
TMO (Rothuss Carder): yeah, we can hear him, but he doesn't seem to hear us
Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: ( I can / should set up a separate language just for him) Yes you can Hear him, but he does not answer you
Vee Barlett: So why ya only talk to me?
Vee Barlett: Too bad he ain't got teeth to pull to make him talk.
Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: You are the Captain
Vee Barlett: Yar so as I thought.
Vee Barlett: I ain't like talkin' to Rothuss either to be fair.
<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: grins
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, well, you both respond to drumsticks to the solid parts.
Vee Barlett: Who don't?
Rothuss Carder: Fair point
Rothuss Carder: Hey, Zora, c'mere! I wanna test something!
Vee Barlett: If ya want me to stab him, I'll stab him.

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: goes over
<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: baps Zora with a drumstick.
Inv Zora Polasis: Hey!
Rothuss Carder: Yup, confirmed. Everyone responds to getting his with a drumstick.
Inv Zora Polasis: I could have told you that without you hitting me with one
<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Rothuss Carder: It's better to confirm it though.
Inv Zora Polasis: For science
Rothuss Carder: Sure, I suppose.

Lirtimya: Agreed, the shore is probably our safest bet, where teh waters get shallower it probably won't follow
Vee Barlett: To shore we go. I can be on first and second watch. I wanna see what this fellow does...

Rothuss Carder: I'll take first also. I want to watch a creature of legend at work.
Glimber Silvernose: I'll take 3rd watch
Rothuss Carder: And I don't trust Vee to wake me up in time if it comes after the ship

wyjyoon: oh wow what happened
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Do I get any information on the turtle out of those rolls?
User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)
BOB So your newish information: It does not seem to have moved over night, at least not that you can tell. The weather is clearing up, no real clouds to obscure the view, no storm coming. You have two choices to sail forward (other than just waiting to see what happens) 1 is to sail out into the sea farther out and circle way out and around. 2 is to stay close to shore where it should not be able to get in to reach you
TMO (Rothuss Carder): 3 is sail to it and go exploring
wyjyoon (Temperance): tru
wyjyoon (Temperance): so sail, sail, or sail
wyjyoon (Temperance): :P
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sail away, come sail away, come sail away with meeeeee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I vote close to shore but maybeeee we get a little closer and see if we can visit
wyjyoon (Temperance): we tried just kinda letting it pass but it didn't so
Inv Zora Polasis: [d3 = 2]
wyjyoon (Temperance): if we can't avoid it let's go?
Glimber Silvernose: [d3 = 1]
Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): not completely invested in an option - can go any way :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): ok close to shore and maybe explore?
BOB So the second question then is rowing only? or also use the Sails which stands out more
Temperance: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 20]

wyjyoon (Temperance): can't help with rowing sorry :(

BOB Or less than the length of the Zartan
Carissa (Vee Barlett): damn
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): so we can see the turtle butt over the evening
BOB Well I will give you this one without a roll
Temperance: How big is this creature?
Rothuss Carder: I say tomorow morning we go over there.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): did it move?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): can Lirt check her experiment?
BOB If you continue to row only, it will take you three days to go all the way around the Zartan
Rothuss Carder: This is a legendary creature, nobody ever sees it, and it's *this* close to land?
Temperance: Do we know if it's alive?
Temperance: It doesn't seem like it's moved much at all.
Glimber Silvernose: Should we poke it?
BOB I will give Temp from her Observation rolls that the flippers do seem to be moving more than just the wave action
wyjyoon (Temperance): oh ok lol
Vee Barlett: This big and not movin' much.... where are the other ships? We ain't the only ones on this passage are we?
<font color="#417700">Temperance: notices the flippers are moving.
BOB That is a good question about the other ships
BOB You have not seen any

Temperance: There's one village up that hill, but other than that...
Temperance: I don't see much else.
Vee Barlett: I'm wonderin' if they know anythin' about this Zartan. Might not be the first time it gone this way.
Glimber Silvernose: You want to go ask them?
Vee Barlett: Yar. We can take anchor and swim or canoe to the beach. Anyone interested?

Vee Barlett: Captain Vee. You are?
Inv Zora Polasis: Monster?
<font color="#417700">Temperance: keeps Glimber and the gigantic turtle creature company.
Josian Lamagnon: Josian, mayor here of Nutpoint
Vee Barlett: Nice meetin' ya. Ever seen a Zaratan before?
Rothuss Carder: ohmigod....
Josian Lamagnon: Is that what it is called
Vee Barlett: Yar based on the stories I've heard I'm thinkin' so.
Josian Lamagnon: It ate one of our long boats
Vee Barlett: Ate one?
Raisa Subbotin: It did not want the boat it wanted the fish and the people
Vee Barlett: It move fast or they just... got too close? Or it go after them? We be tryin' to gage the danger.
Josian Lamagnon: I keep saying it ain't that smart
Josian Lamagnon: It slid into the bay two days ago and has not moved much since
Raisa Subbotin: It is looking to give birth I bet
Vee Barlett: Yar we noticed it over a day ago and yeah... still be here.
Rothuss Carder: It's never been here before?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we got box turtles up here in NY mountains!.... which are technically tortioises....
BOB With Lirt's and Roth's rolls You can guess that YES turtles lay eggs, but they have to crawl up onto a beach and this beach is not shallow or wide enough for it so it is very unlikely that is why it is here
Carissa (Vee Barlett): you have ponds :P
Vee Barlett: So what was yer longboat crew doin' before... uh, me condolences there.
Josian Lamagnon: Three of the men went out to see what it was, if they could get up on tope of it
<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: looks at Rothuss.
Vee Barlett: And they get eaten.
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: looks at Rothuss again.
Rothuss Carder: Why'd they go near the mouth? The thing is miles long.
Josian Lamagnon: Very good question
Vee Barlett: Bet it got a large pull like a big boat.
Josian Lamagnon: Idiots is the answer
wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL
Vee Barlett: Might be half the answer. Wonder what the undertoe and current around it be....
Rothuss Carder: I bet a non-idiot could get on there easy.

Josian Lamagnon: I ain't letting them go !
Vee Barlett: Nah ain't askin' ya to just wantin' to know. Roth be itchin' to explore so seein' his options.
Josian Lamagnon: They are men, but they are not that stupid to go walk into the mouth of that thing..... at least not after seeing three others do it
Vee Barlett: Howd it get here anyway? Swim? Or did it just surface one day?
Josian Lamagnon: Just showed up
Vee Barlett: Fascinatin'
Vee Barlett: Well if ya get yerself a crew to explore, I ain't stoppin' ya Rothuss. But that be on you.

Rothuss Carder: Hey, whoever has the spyglass, how bad are the waves around the side of the shell? How bad is it kicking up? I could see the shell causing a lot of turbulence.
Shislif (MeLange): Seems like Roth wants to start his own crew?
Inv Zora Polasis: Tempe has it aboard the ship
Shislif (MeLange): sorry pretty tired long day too

Shislif (MeLange): oh a big turtle!
Shislif (MeLange): cool

wyjyoon (Temperance): am i close enough to hear?

BOB Habitat/Society: The slow metabolism of the zaratani assure them incredibly long (if uneventful) lives, measured in millennia. The zaratani are said to have been floating in the sea long before the genies first visited the Land of Fate. At any given time, a zaratan is 99% likely to be sleeping. As it slumbers, it keeps its mouth wide open. Any small to man-sized creatures stupid enough to swim inside (large fish mostly) are reflexively swallowed. The zaratan spends the rest of its time either mating or conversing with others of its own kind. Every few centuries, by sheer coincidence, a pair of zaratani will drift into each other. Should they awake (and be of the opposite sex), they will mate. The courtship ritual may take decades, and the mating itself lasts as long as a year.
Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): he who forsaketh technology?
wyjyoon (Temperance): oh wow
wyjyoon (Temperance): they really mate by chance
Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): wow is right
TMO (Rothuss Carder): over millenia, chance will heppen eventually
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
BOB The older a zaratan gets, the longer it sleeps. As a result, many actually become indistinguishable from a floating island or reef, supporting their own mini-ecosystems on their broad, rocky carapaces and underbellies. Many sport stunted palm trees and vegetation on their shells. The older and wiser zaratani are perfectly content to be attended by lesser symbiotic beings, provided the symbiotes are not too bothersome and don't interfere with a zaratan's sleep. A few are known to support small, uncivilized villages, while others have even been used as a mobile base for pirates and corsairs!
MeLange: If I'm not mistaken I do believe that's a Zaratani
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and if not, just sleep it off and wait until you wake again
Carissa (Vee Barlett): pirates!
MeLange: I think it's ok yall
MeLange: Zaratani just sleep a lot, most of the time, and if not then they're talking or boning
Rothuss Carder: Where do you learn about these things?
MeLange: and if it's not talking or boning, then it's sleeping
MeLange: Library duh
Glimber Silvernose: Huh
Temperance: Well... glad to know it lies asleep.
MeLange: plus, them trees and birds and such, makes me think it's an older one
Temperance: No wonder it grows vegetation on its shell.
MeLange: like we said, just stay away from it's mouth, unless you want a very different type of adventure
MeLange: and you know, if we get up there, be nice and polite
MeLange: don't make a rucous
Rothuss Carder: Well dang. Sounds like others have been there before.
MeLange: otherwise it's fine, not really sure what we'd get out of it, but it sounds like a lot of fun
Temperance: It really does sound a lot like an island.
MeLange: But if it does start waking up for any reason, we should probably get off the shell if you know what I mean
MeLange: like a floating moving living island
Glimber Silvernose: Turtle Island!
MeLange: Turtle power!
