So the consensus is to try and outrun the other ship under the cover of rain, making use of the poor visibility?<br/><br/>Before posting IC I will need a few rolls from the group however.<br/><br/>I need someone to make a survival check to navigate. A seperate survival check can also predict the weather for the next hour.<br/><br/>I need someone to steer and control the ship to try and lose the pursuers. Make a dex check and add proficiency bonus if you have training in naval vehicles. I'll let someone make a dc 10 stealtch check to aid on this roll, granting advantage on the dex check of whoever steers the Esmeralda.<br/><br/>I'll need someone to be the lookout, making a perception check to spot the other ship (or any dangers).<br/><br/>The crew by default rolls with a +2 modifier on all checks (except stealth), so if any of the roles is not filled by a PC, a sailor will make that check.<br/><br/>For now the rain is still relatively light, but enough to get clothes soaked after a while and impair vision over distance. There is little wind currently, and any change to the weather would occur gradually.
