FALSE FLAG ROLL +3 this time only for clearing the river
6+5+3 = 14 You are so stealthy and camouflaged, no one will suspect you at all! You may pass over Warguild cannon-towers whilst presenting your buttocks to the oblivious guards who are pleased and wave a delightful greeting.
Wizard Roll Will+3, a gentle breeze to hasten travel
1+5+3=9 <10; no ancient rite, just petty magic, hedge magic effect
Yazdegerd jangles his Lantern at the sun, whilst thinking of Ged on his boat Lookfar, whilst simultaneously not thinking of how Ursula LeGuin stole the plot of Omelas from a paragraph of Brothers Karamazov. The weather remains fairly pleasant. It is probably a coincidence.
Dwarf Roll Will +1, train ship crew
2+6+1 = 9 < 10 mixed success
Barbarian Roll Charm -1, "occupy" Gulshara
3+1-1=3 < 7 CATASTROPHE OCCURS
Tharfish recalls the teachings of the legendary Dwarven Swordsmith Ingelrii Incelred. It was said that this vaunted Son Of The Mountain was so dedicated to his craft that he nearly lost the power of speech, abandoning ale and female comfort, speaking only of the axe, and knowing only the sound of hammering, anvil and forge. And even on the old Sky Whaler, where the crew clung steadfast to superstition, the sight of women aboard a ship was always an ill omen.
Tharfish perceives a difficult task before him, as already Skallagrim is creeping towards the delectable Gulshara, who is gazing wistfully out upon the cloud sea, thinking of all the joys and sorrows beneath, of how beautiful the world must seem to the eyes of birds, and how if only she could find a kindred spirit who could share this yearning within her, know these thoughts and how she feels... as the Barbarian brusquely pinches her backside. This attempted seduction provokes uncomprehending horror-rage in Gulshara:
- How... how could you... you disgust me, you oaf! Get away! Touch me again and I will kill myself and you too! (I hope she does it in the right order, thinks Tharfish the Dwarf). This must be how it is with your primitive people, unable to overcome their animal lusts. Maybe the Oration is right after all, it would be better if their Maiden Knights came and taught you a lesson! But as they are not here, let me show you...
Gulshara punches Skallagrim very purposefully in the groin, and Barbarian loincloths alone are not enough to absorb the indignity and throbbing distress. (QM: Skallagrim receives -3 points groin damage, 7/12 hp. Yes, the sword blow of the weakling River Guard did less damage than this humiliation)
Tharfish the Dwarf folds his arms with a sigh of contentment. It seems like he had to do very little at all, barely even exert himself, to impart the first and most valuable lesson of ship training to the crew.
