Yes water is always wet, yes I was on the boat, and yes I am wearing armor. Now then, if you don't mind...

Arquen heads for the nearest high point that might be good for spotting groups of our fellow travelers.

The only real candidate you see for that would be a massive rock formation several hours to the north. It's definitely tall enough to give a good view of the surroundings, but at that distance you wouldn't be able to make out individuals milling around on the beach.

Otherwise, you don't think any nearby terrain is tall enough to get a good view of nearby movement from.

Solun looks around - people up and down the coast, all seemingly making their way to their position. And this was where the captain was, so why not?
But not everyone had to land on this coast. And that fire bolt certainly caught his attention... he had an idea.
We don't necessarily need to find the crew if they can find us. Let's make a bonfire. The wet wood should make a lot of smoke and steam, and it'll make us visible for a long ways around.

The captain snaps his fingers.

"Good idea!" he bellows in a low, gruff voice.

A grumbling noise follows. Everyone turns to look at its source- a deku deckhand, whose stomach rumbles obligingly again. The captain scratches his head.

"Is true, no food. Crinkles no need eat, but like eat."

[Remalle]

"Hm, a flare? ...It could be somebody in trouble!"
Never mind Salty Pete, run in the direction of the fire!

Fluff:
An idealistic zora knight who tries to embody their conception of chivalric ideas as best they can. Standing nearly twice as tall as your average hylian even when not mounted, wielding a spear that is taller still, and clad all in shining armour, Inade cuts an imposing figure to enemies, and an inspiring one to friends. Their features are fairly average as zora go, with deep blue skin bordering on a dark purple and yellow eyes. They rarely smile and usually look concerned or worried, regardless of their feelings.
Born 80 years ago in Labrynna, they grew up idolizing the heroic figures of both zora and hylian legends, their martial prowess and virtues. They spent time among both races as they grew into adulthood and merged both martial traditions as they became the journey to knighthood. They were recognized for their martial prowess and selected to be a part of an expedition to Crescent Island to establish a colony. Disaster struck when half of the settlement inexplicably transformed into zola overnight, causing chaos from which only a few survivors made it out alive. Inade spent years living with the native Tokay people, but eventually struck out on their own again when sails finally appeared on the horizon again.

Rumours:
They once defended a ford single-handedly for an entire day, cutting down dozens of enemies and letting civilians evacuate.
They once were challenged by, and defeated, three Hylian knights in duels on the same day, befriending them all afterward.
They have spent months living among the Lizalfos tribes and have learnt their language.

[Madman198237]

Well then...guess it's option B.

If I can't see anything else potentially helpful, follow the coastline eastwards looking for other survivors.

Appearance
Nobody's quite sure what Archeologist looks like under his baggy clothes. All they've ever seen are his glowing featureless eyes. But, the tan, dusty clothes decorated with red triangles are distinctive enough to pick him out from a crowd of Subrosians.

Personality
Archeologist is similar to a typical subrosian, he likes to point at things and ask what they are. Especially things everyone else has already seen and dismissed as unimportant. He likes to also touch stuff, feel different textures, and often... well, places his hands where they don't belong, including other people's pockets, and rarely places people of other races would consider indecent. It's not that he's doing it on purpose - he just doesn't understand what's wrong when people get upset, and nobody's taken the time to explain why it's wrong; well, they've explained why indecent places are wrong, so he tries not to do that, usually. That being said, he's equally or even more prone to just standing motionless for hours staring at a particularly interesting formation of grout in between two bricks in the wall while babbling happily to himself about how well it's weathered and how old it must be.

Rumors
● Archeologist was banished from his home
● Archeologist once found the bones of an extinct species, and tried bringing them into a place where the dead rise to find out what it looked like
● Archeologist's diary contains embarrassing secrets about other people he has promised not to tell anybody about.

Appearance: Solun is slimmer than one would likely expect from a blacksmith, especially one who smiths in the hardy style of the Gorons, and relatively tall, as well. His skin is moderately tanned, and his hands and forearms especially have a scattering of old burns from smithing and tinkering. Since the shipwreck, his clothes have been restricted to his black undershirt, his scorch-stained leather apron, and a pair of brown trousers, as well as a dark red hood that one of the pirates had been wearing. Under the hood, it's easy to see some lightly-colored beard scruff; further up, his light-brown eyes sometimes gleam red when the light hits them at a certain angle, though considering that he tends to keep them in the hood's shade, this is rare. Curiously, what few strands of his hair escape the hood appear to be an odd pink shade.

Personality: Solun is a generally helpful person, which helps deal with the fact that most of what comes out of his mouth is usually either facts about the situation or sarcastic remarks. He seems to always expect things to go wrong if he's not watching over the process.
While smithing, he seems noticeably happier, and he's much more willing to engage in conversation and talk about his thoughts (especially on the topic of smithing, mechanics, or enchantment). Even during such times, however, he will clam up if anybody asks him about his past.

Rumors: They say...
...he's looking for the secret to ancient Sheikah technology.
...he hails from a secretive mountain clan.
...his home was destroyed by war.

3rd Hour of Morning, Day 1




Orange Group
Arquen waits a full hour for the tiny Archeologist to clamber down to his position, and then the two spend another hour trekking east along the beach. They see no sign of the others.


Red Group
Most of the passengers and crew of the ship find themselves milling around the same stretch of sand, with a good deal of the remainder within sight. Cap'n Longsnout, Salty Pete, Bloop Bloop Bloop, a gaggle of scallywags, and half a gaggle of corsairs are in attendance, with the other half of the corsairs approaching from the northwest and Gummy, Diamond Glee, and Nakrathimus the Infathomable trudging up from the southeast.

Solun the Craftsman, Fenil Vys, Isha Shadesparrow, and Inade comprise the local passengers, with the rito knight coming in with Gummy and company.

Cap'n Longsnout nods approvingly, but scratches his chin in thought.

"Coast not empty. Glee lead food hunting expedition when she get here. Kizurin not found? Must find for food. Has only cookpot.

Need scout deeper. Natives not appreciate intrusion."

"We'll be wanting to find high ground and higher trees," Salty Pete suggests. "Won't do to get caught in the open when things dry out. Doron's unaccounted for neither, and there's none better to hew lumber."

Longsnout snorts and crosses his arms, apparently considering his options.


Purple Group
Reed and Kizurin trudge northwest for two hours.

Reed Perception: [6][5]+4 = 15

There's few signs of life out here, but Reed picks up footprints in the wet sand. They're reptilian-looking, and the gait is a weird mixture of springy and decrepit, all of which matches Gummy, the ship's lizalfos surgeon, to a T. There's also the occasional small, odd set of markings nearby which you think might be from Diamond Glee, the ship's fairy smuggler (as in, smuggler who is a fairy, though she has also indicated willingness and experience smuggling fairies for an appropriate fee). Echoes isn't so rambunctious in landing.

The tracks lead northwest along the shore, where Reed and Kizurin were heading anyway, but it's reassuring to see that they're approaching (or at least following) at least one other survivor (or convincing imposter).


Solun
Solun notes that there's plenty of driftwood and debris to build a bonfire from, but that he lacks appropriate tools to chop it up properly. He may certainly do so anyway, but it would make him hungry and be less efficient than if he had a proper saw.

Solun considered setting up the bonfire - and why did it matter if you could chop it up when all that was really important was that it burned and made smoke? - but as it seemed the group would be moving soon, he elected to simply enlist a few of his fellow castaways to help carry what wood they could gather so they could make the bonfire wherever they stopped.

Isha spies the other Shiekah and immediately runs over to her, seemingly trying to hide in the woman's shadow.
"Fenil! I'm so glad to see you! Are you alright? Were you hurt at all in the wreck? I'm so sorry for bringing you here! This is my fault!"

Observe the people gathered here and try to get a measure of the current mood.

Rumors:
● The Shadesparrow family has a history of dealing with dark powers and has loose ties to the Yiga.
● When members of the secretive Shadesparrow family turn 18, they're sent off into the world to travel and experience on their own, to gather information and prove themselves.
● Isha was a child prodigy, loved by her family for her intelligence and will to learn.

Appearance:
A Shiekah teenager or young adult of limited stature, Isha doesn't seem much like the sort of person who could survive on her own. Though reasonably physically fit for someone her age, something in her posture or attitude makes her seem reluctant, uncertain.
She has quite long white hair kept in a bun, and as is normal for Shiekah, red eyes. She's fairly short, at 5' 2". She wears round spectacles, which are needed for her vision.
Also she talks in this accent.

Personality:
Isha is an inexhaustible source of naive optimism and positivity! Or at least, presents a passable front of the same. She is curious and clearly enjoys seeing and learning of new things. She is liable to complain a little about inclement weather or food of inadequate quality. She's used to getting at least a little attention and dislikes being alone.
In terms of combat, she prefers to avoid enemies or else destroy them as quickly as possible, minimizing risk. In a fight she follows orders and keeps quiet.

[Happerry]

Reed blinks to himself after a moment of staring at the sand, and then realizes he's being left behind and breaks into a more hasty pace to catch up with Kizurin. "Hey, miss Kizurin? There's footprints in the sand. See, there's Gummy's prints, and those look like Diamond Glee's uh... flutterprints? Landing points? That means we're going the right direction! Or at least the direction they were headed in."

Rumors
1 : It's said that Reed learned his magic from a Wizzrobe.
2 : Supposedly, Reed got tossed out of his forest home for disturbing something horrible in the local ruins.
3 : Reed funded his travels by trading healing magic for food and shelter for the night.

Backstory : Reed, one of the Kokiri travelers can find in some of the rarer woods of Hyrule, was never the most average Kokiri. Oh, he was still a Kokiri, fairy friend and all, but most Kokiri have more earthly interests then ancient lore, ancient history, modern history, and strange machines. As such Reed, unlike most Kokiri, spent most of his time exploring the ancient and molding ruins of his forest home, learning from the fading wall paintings and somewhat broken carvings, and discussing the secrets of magic with the fairies of the woods. And so things continued for an indeterminate amount of time, for the ever-youthful Kokiri was satisfied with his life. Until, that is, a traveler asked him a question.

"Huh. Sounds like you've learned everything you can here. What are you going to do next?"

That question left Reed unsettled from his normal routine, and haunted his thoughts. For on consideration, the traveler was right. Reed had learned all that he could here, and was no longer growing. In order to learn more, he'd have to... well, leave.

And so, eventually, Reed left his forest home, to travel the world beyond in search of new lore and new learning. In all honesty, it went wrong fairly quickly, given that Reed's barely been out of the forest for a year before, in response to rumors of ancient ruins in far away lands, he bought a passenger's spot on a ship only to wind up shipwrecked on this strange land, fairy friend nowhere to be seen after they'd been separated in the storm.

[Remalle]

Slightly confused at having wound up in the middle of the big group after running after the flare, Inade looks around at the surrounding people, specifically at those who aren't part of the crew.
"I'm guessing one of you shot that flare off earlier? I agree with the good captain, we need to gather all the survivors together if we're going to get off this island. Shall we set this as the rally point for everyone to meet? If so, somebody capable of shooting flares should stay here so we can find our way back with the others."

Fluff:
An idealistic zora knight who tries to embody their conception of chivalric ideas as best they can. Standing nearly twice as tall as your average hylian even when not mounted, wielding a spear that is taller still, and clad all in shining armour, Inade cuts an imposing figure to enemies, and an inspiring one to friends. Their features are fairly average as zora go, with deep blue skin bordering on a dark purple and yellow eyes. They rarely smile and usually look concerned or worried, regardless of their feelings.
Born 80 years ago in Labrynna, they grew up idolizing the heroic figures of both zora and hylian legends, their martial prowess and virtues. They spent time among both races as they grew into adulthood and merged both martial traditions as they became the journey to knighthood. They were recognized for their martial prowess and selected to be a part of an expedition to Crescent Island to establish a colony. Disaster struck when half of the settlement inexplicably transformed into zola overnight, causing chaos from which only a few survivors made it out alive. Inade spent years living with the native Tokay people, but eventually struck out on their own again when sails finally appeared on the horizon again.

Rumours:
They once defended a ford single-handedly for an entire day, cutting down dozens of enemies and letting civilians evacuate.
They once were challenged by, and defeated, three Hylian knights in duels on the same day, befriending them all afterward.
They have spent months living among the Lizalfos tribes and have learnt their language.

Isha spies the other Shiekah and immediately runs over to her, seemingly trying to hide in the woman's shadow.
"Fenil! I'm so glad to see you! Are you alright? Were you hurt at all in the wreck? I'm so sorry for bringing you here! This is my fault!"

Fenil stiffens a little as Isha runs up, taking a step back and turning keep facing the younger sheikah.

"...I am fine, Isha.  I am a healer."  She pauses, then a worried look crosses over her face.  "And how about you?  You seem shaken, did anything happen after the crash?"

[Egan_BW]

Isha shakes her head, as much to clear her thoughts as to indicate in the negative.
"Er, no, not after the wreck, no. I was in a shipwreck, though! It was really scary! I could have drowned!...

Uh, I guess I didn't drown though. And it looks like everyone around here is fine, so it's, uh, fine."

She forces a smile.
"T-that's right! We're fine, and we're going to find the rest of the crew, and everything's going to be alright."

Isha takes a deep breath and sits down in the sand.
_{^{"We're going to be fine, I'm going to be fine. Goddesses, protect me."}}

Appearance: A fairly typical Hyrulian soldier, with the scars of training and perhaps some warfare clearly visible. His left eye has been nearly blinded by a wound, and is now mostly white.

Rumors:
...officers who are politically wise don't typically end up wandering around without soldiers.
...he's looking for whatever took out one of his eyes.
...he's on some sort of mission for his superiors.

Fenil sighs quietly, then sits down next to Isha.  "It'll be alright.  This... kind of thing is rare, but it happens.  Look around at the crew; they know what to do.  Once everyone is together, the crew will seek out food, and shelter, and after that we'll begin to plan our return to civilization.  In the meantime..."

Fenil gestures at the ground in front of them, and a tangle of dry, thorny brambles sprouts from a sand, curling in on each other.  Then without a moment's hesitation, she sends a fireball into the center of the brambles, lighting them afire.  "...Relax, and wait until you dry off.  It'll be easier to think, once you're calm and warm."

Sit down with Isha, and use dark brambles to summon some vegetation in front of us.  Then set it on fire, to make a makeshift little campfire.  This only spends four MP.  A brushfire tile lasts for five minutes, and thorns only cost 1 MP to resummon, so Fenil will just resummon thorns to extend the duration until she and Isha are dry and calm.

Rumors:
● Fenil was groomed from a very young age to be a spy and assassin for her secretive masters, possibly the Yiga.
● Fenil is considered little more than a tool; valuable for her talents and power, but inherently disposable beyond them.
● Fenil conceals her true age through magic, to make her enemies underestimate her.

Appearance:
A somewhat short sheika woman, standing at 5' 4", whose intense red gaze betrays a calm violence sitting just under the surface.  Though she seems to be leaving her youth--she appears to be into her thirties--she's still quite beautiful, and willing to show it.  Her light armor hugs her form closely, and she proudly shows off her long, immaculately kept hair.

Her demeanor is aggressive and confident, almost imperious, but can flip at a moment's notice to a watchful silence, or a honeyed sultriness.  If one spends a great deal of time around her, they tend to get a sense of artificiality--that the woman's behavior is usually a precisely chosen act, rather than truthful expression.  It all seems genuine in the moment... but on reflection her emotions are simply too perfect.

1st Hour of Afternoon, Day 1





Red Group
Another three hours pass, and almost everybody arrives at the same spot. The only ones missing are Doron the Goron, also known as Doron the Fluffy, the ship's clothier and general crafter; Archeologist, the appropriately named subrosian archeologist and professional question-asker; and Arquen, the scarred hylian captain.

Solun notes that there's plenty of driftwood and debris to build a bonfire from, but that he lacks appropriate tools to chop it up properly. He may certainly do so anyway, but it would make him hungry and be less efficient than if he had a proper saw.

Solun considered setting up the bonfire - and why did it matter if you could chop it up when all that was really important was that it burned and made smoke? - but as it seemed the group would be moving soon, he elected to simply enlist a few of his fellow castaways to help carry what wood they could gather so they could make the bonfire wherever they stopped.

You try to order a bunch of pirates to gather wood, but the cap'n waggles a thick finger at you.

"First rule of command: Food first. Hungry workers unhappy workers."

You settle for scooping up a single unit of Rank 0 Wood and stuffing it in your pack.

Isha spies the other Shiekah and immediately runs over to her, seemingly trying to hide in the woman's shadow.
"Fenil! I'm so glad to see you! Are you alright? Were you hurt at all in the wreck? I'm so sorry for bringing you here! This is my fault!"

Observe the people gathered here and try to get a measure of the current mood.

Insight: [4][5]+3 = 12

The rank n file seem kinda mindless, just sorta milling about waiting for somebody more ambitious to give them orders or fix everything. The command crew are a bit more varied but seem well enough: The gold octorok seems agitated and squishes around a lot, Gummy seems to be enjoying himself, the fairy is flitting around looking for something, Nakroriamus is nodding profoundly.

The captain and Salty Pete, on the other hand, both seem restless. Satly Pete was always kind of a shifty guy, but he's especially prone to glaring around at the landscape with his one remaining eye. The captain looks a lot more relaxed at first glance, but he keeps balling his fists now and then.

Your fellow passengers are a bit harder to generalize, though they don't seem to have the calm of an existing command structure or reliable comrades.

Fenil sighs quietly, then sits down next to Isha.  "It'll be alright.  This... kind of thing is rare, but it happens.  Look around at the crew; they know what to do.  Once everyone is together, the crew will seek out food, and shelter, and after that we'll begin to plan our return to civilization.  In the meantime..."

Fenil gestures at the ground in front of them, and a tangle of dry, thorny brambles sprouts from a sand, curling in on each other.  Then without a moment's hesitation, she sends a fireball into the center of the brambles, lighting them afire.  "...Relax, and wait until you dry off.  It'll be easier to think, once you're calm and warm."

Sit down with Isha, and use dark brambles to summon some vegetation in front of us.  Then set it on fire, to make a makeshift little campfire.  This only spends four MP.  A brushfire tile lasts for five minutes, and thorns only cost 1 MP to resummon, so Fenil will just resummon thorns to extend the duration until she and Isha are dry and calm.

You make a nice drying fire more or less for free, though adding fuel every five minutes is a bit of a pain.


With almost everyone accounted for and most of his command crew adjacent, the cap'n begins making plans.

"Night soon, need shelter.

Kizzy, half corsairs. Glee, half corsairs," he says, gesturing south and west down the beach, respectively. "Find others, bring back. Rest with me. Head inland, find natives. Punch."

He emphasizes the last word with an oversized fist into his oversized palm.

Kizurin whistles to get her gang's attention and takes off back the way she came. Diamond Glee makes some crass remarks about her minions to herd them along the other direction.

Cap'n Longsnout and the remainder of the pirates start trudging inland, leaving the passengers to figure out their own course of action.


Orange Group

Continue walking, but keep eyes out for anything interesting or useful as I go along.

You spend another three hours making it over some more beach and another stretch of rocks, but still see no sign of anyone else or anything particularly interesting. Your chattering companion would disagree with that last sentiment.
