Battle of the Dragon Ships

Discussion on best plan to take out the ships.
Boarding at sea
Wait for port

Barbarian ship is patrolling for Kawaneze ships and their shaman will send a message to Tyke if they see it.

Possible alternate landing sites??

No ports other than Dierthane in the area capable of taking on larger ships.

Would prefer to board ships at sea, using WindWalk. Overland flight to scout the ocean for the ships.

Joined by Princess and Healing Priest from Franaxa

Preparation

Tyke - flies out to sea for 8 hours searching for the ship.

• 1st Session:
  • Finds 1 Estivinian ship heading south
  • Small island - 200 yards in diameter
• 2nd
  • Sees a boat moving in the general direction of Dierthane
  • Flies out close to it - approaches closer and determines it is actually 3 dragon ships.
  • Tyke recognizes the ships from his Spell Jammer sessions.
  • Deck of the ship has Kawaneze sailors.
  • 2 Medium size Ballista on Deck.
  • Weapon bays - Harpoon launching tubes?
  • Dragonhead may be capable of spitting fire.
  • Sailors - carrying gently curved swords and a short-bow
  • Tyke searches the ship looking for a helm room
  • On his way back -- loses the island.
  • Teleports back to the group.

Attempt to triangulate position of boats with aid from the resistance.

Next Day:
Group windwalks towards the ships
Sets up position and start rematerializing.

Aftermath

Prentice casts Tongues to speak the white soldier. Red's name is Kyto and he claims to know nothing about the chemicals. Kyto believes the ship is carrying luxury goods.

They group discusses various ideas on how to precede.

• Scuttle the ship, mist walk to Tyke's island and return in approximately 10 hours after the spell-casters have rested.
• Use the ship as a battering ram to disable the other ships, the wind walk to Tyke's island for rest.
• No one believes it would be possible to take out the other two ships immediately.

The red leader had a magical robe and amulet, both taken by Bono.

Kawaneze trunk is placed in the hole since it contains approximately 5-10k crown royals, depending on where, when and how it is converted.

The group heads the ship off to the north to avoid the other 2 ships which stopped in the fog. They will sleep on ship for 8 hours before launching the next attack.
