All right, welcome back everyone. Let's let's see what happens to our heroes
now that they're on this tiny island besieged by a Leviathan catfish. Time it
is time to die. It's nighttime. If I recall, love it,
the son should at least be going down. Okay, Yeah, you've traveled
like more than twelve miles since leaving the Thorn Wall, so it's definitely late
in the day, understood. I think the first thing to do is build
a fire. Okay. There's like some scraggly shrubby brush around, so those
of you that are healthy could wander and pick up some kindling and whatnot,
scout the island. It's enough that you can walk for a little while without
reaching the water, maybe a mile end to end, and it runs about
half a mile east until it reaches the cliff wall. Okay, okay,
so we're at the wall though, got it? Yes, And if you
recall when you first caught sight of this island, there was something that the
rays of the sun was glinting off close to the cliff wall. But the
observation, let's let oh right, right, there's there's other shit we gotta
do right now, you're one of the injured parties, so you were you're
traumatized. Yeah, I'm looking at I'm looking at the water right now,
unpointing. Yeah, you would octobers sit tight while Phaedra and call gather some
stuff for a fire? Can we I'm not going to make that. That's
going to be difficult these zero to get what you need? Cool? Are
you guys just going to stick to the immediate area? That's a smart unless
you know, all right, it takes about half an hour to get a
fire going. Okay, how do I make up water? There's been nothing
like no helmets, no metal, no pots, nothing like just kind of
half fruits like leather. Whatever's I mean you you were using you had some
like coconut halves that you were using as or like daury in halves. I
don't even remember. It's some large fruit. Yeah, that's what we can
do. So we'll set that up so we have plenty of boiling water for
dressing and making tea and whatnot. All right, give me a survival difficulty
one please? Okay? Nice? Yeah? Zero successes. You were you
were able to get kind of like a weak fire going, but you're struggling
to figure out how to get the water over it without like just burning the
fruit holes. I bet it's because all my stuff is wet too. That's
not helping. Yeah, okay, you have clean water and water skins.
Yeah I do. You may just have to use that for now. Now
you have some poultices and stuff that you made, right, I do rummaging
through my pack. Oh, I see that was a thing I meant to
do. Right, Here's what I've got. I have one healing poultice,
one anti toxin, two concoctions that seems vague, yes, and seven ingredients.
All right, so Phaedra digs through her pack and she pulls out a
healing poultice and some like ground up or dried plants that she has acquired over
the course of her journey. It smells great, it smells great. While
I'm doing this, I'm going to look to Cull and say, you're an
alchemist, right, do you have any idea about a gesture to the fire
and like the half fruits filled with water just kind of sitting there lamely not
doing anything. Give me the idea about this. I can try and give
it to try. It might just be too wet though, well, I
appreciate anything you can do. All right, I'm gonna look at Octomer.
Now, give me an alchemy check, Cole. He got one on success,
all right. So Cole wanders off and starts searching for some reagents.
We'll come back to that. Back over to Phedro. The first thing.
Octomer is obviously more wounded, so he's the one you need to check out
first. Yeah. A cursory exam of him reveals that his arm is dislocated.
It's not the worst. There's some muscle damage. He's already kind of
popped it back into place. But that is the least severe injury. The
other two injuries are a cracked rib and one that's probably just bruised. You're
lucky, I'm tenacious. Yeah, same thing. If you're going to treat
his wounds. In order to treat all three of them, this is going
to require one success and two momentum. One success and two momentum, yes,
okay, otherwise one which one wound for one success or something like that.
Suspensive. There is three momentum in the pool. We spend it.
Yeah, it doesn't have to spend that yet. Oh, unless she wants
to spend the momentum now to roll more dice. But if the goal is
to spend, if the goal is to spend the momentum to treat more wounds,
then you don't spend that before you roll, you spend it after.
Right. It's a momentum spend, which theoretically can use momentum in the pot,
not just the free momentum generated by the dice. Well, that's a
repeatable one, so it can come from the it can come from the pod.
Nice, Well, let's do this first. Yeah, it's immediate and
repeatable spends can come from the pool. I will invest my last fortune for
two successes, which should start a momentum train. I hope, yep.
That'll give you one success and one momentum. And we kind of need Octim
on his free because he's our main navigator too. So that and now I
will go ahead and make the actual role. Okay, I got one from
the role plus two from the fortune point, so that's three success is total?
All right, which is one success and two momentum. You want to
spend one from the pool to treat all three of his zones. I think
that's a great idea. Yes, please, Mars, it's done. Okay,
so you basically, get a lot of plant fibers and some of the
few remaining scraps of leather that you guys possess, and you are able to
wrap and support his injuries. And you're also able to give him some ground
up herbs and stuff to help him with the pain without dulling his senses.
So Octomer, you may mark all three of those wounds as treated. There
are all three of them treated. Now, if you guys can find a
location that can sustain you to rest up for like a couple of weeks,
the dislocated shoulder will go away completely, as will the bruised rib, but
the cracked rib is most likely going to last the rest of the campaign.
Do we have a couple of weeks? Oh my god, I you have
all the time we can survive basically, so maybe yeah, I guess.
Scrounging up what you need and binding the wounds takes a while. Paul comes
back after a while with some silt in minerals. He uses your mortar and
pestle, your makeshift mortar and pestle to grind him up, and he rubs
them into the underside of the fruit holes and begins to warm them empty over
the fire. Eventually the bottoms of the fruit halls are they have kind of
like a sheen to them, and he informs you that they should be fire
resistant enough. Now for heaving the water, which is what he sets himself
to do. By the time you are done treating Optimer, there is hot
water available. You move on to Ricardo and a cursory exam of him.
You believe he has a mild head injury, a light concussion. He's also
like very distracted, very nervous, not super responsive. I am mostly dead
eye staring at the water. Okay, I think I'm first gonna try and
like guide him to like a sitting position a little closer to the fire where
he does not see the water, so it's not staring at Are you amenable
to that? I could be moving, but like my I'm basically like on
lookout for that cat fish at all times now for the most part, I
don't know how hard, like if the water is not visible, like I
guess I won't be like, you know, freaking the fuck out my eyes
on the prize. Okay, you're in the prize is a watery death,
yes, a prize that you almost won so close something like that. Laughing
up big guy. Next time you're going hungry,
