<hr/><br/>Grant was a bit exhausted, but he hadn't forgotten where the Tarantula's survival kit was.<br/><br/>"It's in a small compartment along the aft wall," he said.   "Under the knot buoys."<br/><br/>Penn had no problem finding the small compartment, opening it, and finding the kit within.<br/><br/>The kit contained:<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>A Masterwork Survival Kit:</strong>  A survival kit provides the necessary tools for day-to-day existence in a temperate wilderness. It typically contains a flint and steel, a mess kit, two waterskins (enough to hold water for 1 person for 1 day), very basic maps showing major landmarks, and a small utility knife.<br/><br/>A masterwork survival kit contains higher quality gear and a guide to identifying flora and fauna. It grants you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to get along in the wild, deal with severe weather, keep from getting lost, avoid natural hazards such as quicksand, and predict the weather.</li><li><strong>A Healer's Kit: </strong> This collection of bandages and herbs provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks. A healer's kit is exhausted after 10 uses.</li></ul><br/>Penn has no issue bandaging up the sailor, although he was really annoyed that the women were making such a fuss.  Dragons were expected to take a hit.<br/><br/><em>"Yes I would like to a take a look,"</em>Charna said.<br/><br/>Grant got up, and started making preparations for the transfer of potential finds.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Penn has a bit of trouble swimming between the boats.  Grant had to empty a water barrel to give her a floatation device to do it (GM rolled a Swim Check 7).   "Put anything you find in the barrel, and I'll pull it over," he said.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The Linker was nearly all ash, and it was very difficult going above deck.  The floorboards nearly caved beneath Penn's weight, and there were a few moments that the ship almost swallowed her whole, but she managed her way down below.<br/><br/>Below deck, the ship smelled<em>rank.</em>Penn had to cover her sensitive nostrils to keep from gagging.  She worked her way throughout the skeletal remains of the ship, and found the following items after a thorough thirty minute search.<br/><br/>In the below deck slaver quarters, she found:<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Silver holy symbol (25 gp):  A relic from a religion that Penn isn't familiar with.</li><li>Masterwork Greatsword (350):  Has an interesting relief of a ram on the handle.  The ram's horns make up the sword's hand guards.</li><li>Masterwork Sling (300 gp): A beautifully woven sling with blue translucent silk strands.</li></ul><br/>Penn found the corpse of the Captain in his or her bedroom.  She couldn't tell the gender of the Captain, as the deceased had been charred in the fire.  Smoke made the task difficult, but Penn managed to get her hands on the following:<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Coins   32 gp, 72 sp, 153 cp</li><li>Alabaster (8 gp)</li><li>Bloodstone (50 gp)</li><li>Freshwater Pearl (11 gp)</li><li>Pyrite (9 gp)</li><li>Masterwork Breastplate (350 gp)</li></ul><br/>Charna and Grant manage to reel Penn back from the scorched vessel.  As they pulled Penn aboard, the vessel finally sank.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>While Penn was away, the lizard men drew their last breaths.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Now that everyone was aboard, Grant set out to prepare an afternoon lunch for the crew.  The lunch consisted of boiled mullet, dried sea weed, and a loaf of salty bread prepared on wooden plates, accompanied with a watered-down ale in clay jugs.<br/><br/>Before the three continued on their journey, they all sat down to eat.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>OOC:</strong>I'm really glad Grant didn't die!  It looked really hairy for a second -- the lizard man landed a natural 20, but didn't confirm.  At 8 hit points, he's a little squishy!
