<strong>Time &amp; Date:</strong>Early Morning, 13th day of The Fading (Adventure Day 1)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Argent Maiden, Shoreline<hr/><br/>Whilst the ship and everyone on board is still regaining their bearings and orientating themselves with their new surroundings, there is a curious groan in the hull of the ship, as though some immense pressure is being applied against the wood of the hull.  Small, shuddering rhythmic vibrations can be felt throughout the ship, and the vessel can be seen to turn slightly back towards the ocean, ever so slowly.<br/><br/>Somewhere from below decks, a sailor comes rushing up.  "Captain!  We're taking cracks below and water is starting to seep in!  We–"<br/><br/>Before the man can finish, there is a sudden, heavy thud against the hull and Argent Maiden rocks dangerously towards the port side before righting itself in upright position.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC: All PCs</div><div class="spoiler_body">All PCs on deck need to make Acrobatics checks vs. DC 15.  Anyone who succeeds, manages to keep their footing.  Failure means the knock takes them off their feet and they fall prone on deck.<br/></div></div><br/><br/>All around them, sailors and other mercenaries cry out in alarm, and many of those of deck are sent tumbling to the floor.  The sailor who was delivering his report to Titch goes falling down the stairs.  Close to<strong>Adelheid</strong>, a sailor caroms against the side guard and begins to pitch overboard.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC: Latooni Subota</div><div class="spoiler_body">Latooni Subota, if you wish (and if Adelheid isn't prone), you can make a Reflex save vs. DC 12 to catch the falling sailor and prevent him from going overboard.  It takes a Strength check DC 12 to pull him back on board immediately.  Failing the Strength check means she can only hold him in place, whereas failing by 5 or more means he slips from her grasp and falls.<br/></div></div><br/><br/>As things stabilise, everyone can hear a multitude of sinister snarling hisses coming from over the sides of the ship, seemingly from all around.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">For now, no need to act in order of initiative.  I'll let you guys know when that will be relevant.<br/></div></div>
