Mike figure that the ship must have a compass and find it!

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship sailing on the Sea of Death...

Mike considers likely places to find a compass!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He has very little idea. He does recall something about them being inaccessible to most people and that only the captain and the navigator actually have one. There was something else, but he can't quite remember what it was.

[miauw62]

Mike will peform Ghostly Ventroquilsm on the guy in the crow's nest and ask him wich way is southeast.

[Onyxjew944]

((Didn't you say the ship was heading south a few pages ago?

Hint-hint....))

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship sailing on the Sea of Death...

Mike tries to ventriloquize a stray piece of bread next to the fellow in the crow's nest!

[Ghostly Ventriloquism roll: 5]

"I say, good sir, which way is southeast?"

[Man reaction roll: 6]

"Talking bread? I must be close to a breakdown once again."

"Perhaps. But which way is southeast?"

"Is this some sort of trick question my subconscious is asking me? Difficult to say. It sounds straightforward enough."

"It is totally straightforward! Which way is southeast? Tell me now!"

"What are you, my mother? You can't order me around! I'll send you down to the captain, I will, and then you'll be sorry, you insolent figment of my imagination!"

"Would he know which way is southeast?"

"Oh, you bet! Old bastard's totally cracked, though. Good luck getting anything out of him."

"What about the navigator?"

"Oh, he dived overboard a long time ago. Couldn't handle the stress. Started screaming and beating people up."

"Well, nice talking to you."

"Oh, same here, same here. You may be imaginary, but at least you're someone to talk to. Gotta eat you now, though. No hard feelings, eh?"

"Ah, sure, I don't mind."

The lookout takes the piece of bread and eats it!

[miauw62]

((Oh, right >.<))
Mike will remember that the ship went south, and look at wich way the sun moves to figure out wich way is southeast!

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship sailing along on the Sea of Death...

Mike considers the possibility that the ship might be going southeast!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Sounds legit to him. He looks at the way the sun is moving!

[Perception roll: ?]

He notices a very odd thing over a two-hour observational period - the sun moves one way, then the other. What the hell? That's not normal.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Maybe that's why they're still keeping the captain around? He's the man with the compass, and it seems like even the path of the sun can't be trusted here.

[miauw62]

Mike will look around for the captain.

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship on the Sea of Death...

Mike looks around for the captain!

[Search roll: 2]

However, he is nowhere to be seen on the deck! Maybe he retired to his quarters?

[miauw62]

Mike will look for an entrance to his quarters, preferably a window!

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship sailing in dangerous waters...

Mike looks for a way inside the captain's quarters!

[Search roll: 3]

Surprisingly enough, it doesn't look like sailors are in the habit of leaving open windows while sailing on a sea best described as evil. Who would've thought?

Mike does, however, see a rather tiny space between the boards above the quarters. It would take either force or great skill, but perhaps he could widen that?

[miauw62]

Mike will open it enough to get trough and go trough

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship on the Sea of Death...

Mike tries to open up a hole in the deck!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He does so using nothing but his beak and talons!

[Opening making roll: 5-1]

After a valiant effort, Mike manages to sufficiently mutilate one of the boards to squeeze through the opening! He is now in the captain's quarters!

[Captain roll: 1]

He isn't here. Neither is anything else, really. There's only a hammock, some empty shelves and a broken desk. And by broken it is meant that it's really broken in two and variously mutilated. How odd!

[miauw62]

Mike will look around to see if there's a compass hidden somewhere.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a captain's vacant quarters...

Mike looks around for a compass, sifting through the remnants of the broken desk. Well, there's obviously no compass here. In fact, it's quite astounding how little there is in this room. No maps, no private things, nothing. It really clashes with the mental image of the classic captain's quarters, all bedecked with things much too extravagant for mere sailors and rich in various navigational tools and personal effects.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Mike has no idea where the captain or the compass might be. Not even the foggiest.
