After regaining his calm and warmth Swift Snake gathers his stuff and puts away his flute. He rises to his feet and approaches the back of the temple where he bows deep towards the dragon head.
"Thank you." he says solemnly.

Swift Snake walks up to the Snow Owl along the boardwalk. His clothes are damp. His compatriots are all standing around the deck of the boat, while Thu stands silently atop the cabin again. Mad Mei sits on the bow. At the same time, Charopos approaches from within the town. He is walking with another tiefling and they cheerfully speak loudly while passing a skin back and forth. When the two reach the boat, they hug and cheek kiss before parting.

Zheng Sao emerges from the cabin when she hears her final crew member's arrival. Fai Wa follows her out. She briefly meets Swift Snake's eyes before nodding to the rest and says, "Right. Ready to go?"

At everyone's affirmation, Fai Wa undoes the rope to the pier and Charopos pulls up the anchor with Zheng Sao. Fai Wa and Mad Mei guide the boat out onto the river using poles and the boat is on its way again. The tiefling retires to the cabin to sleep off his day drunkenness. The captain reminds her sister that this part of the river is rockier, receiving an eye roll in response.

The sun quickly approaches the mountain line to the west and shadows become long. Thu and Mad Mei are both atop, the half-elf over the cabin and the human on the canopy. Charopos and Fai Wa are both poling the boat along around large boulders, and Zheng Sao is still within her room. Where are the adventurers and what are they doing?

Map. You can post your location here or put it into a comment on the map. The boat is divided in three: the open deck, the covered deck below the overhang, and the cabin. The dashed lines are doors (closed) and the dotted lines are windows (covered with fabric). The black boxes are the tied-down cargo.

Mad Mei is at N-11 and Thu is at L-7.

The boat passes through the long shadow of a wooded hill. Chen Wu and Sai Yun face each other, sitting on the cargo crates, something perhaps they are only getting away with because Fai Wa and Charopos are easier going. Hon Yin stands at the front of the boat, looking out and helping to watch out for the rocks along the river. Swift Snake meditates next to Chen Wu.

At first, the boat seems to have passed out of the shadow and back into the sunlight. But then Mad Mei cries out in surprise from above and Hon Yin notices that the light cast upon him is not warm and from above but cool and from below. The waters of the river around the boat itself are glowing, throwing up a flickering green-blue light.

The boat jolts to the left suddenly and the boat scrapes against a smaller rock in the river. There is a yell from above. The Snow Owl then more violently jolts sharply to the right and there are two splashes. The adventurers witness Charopos rolling over the gunwale and into the river. With a horrible crunch, the canopy over the middle half of the boat crumples and flies away.

Looming over the right side of the boat is a serpentine form, rearing up like a cobra from the river. Its pale green scales and golden underbelly glitter in the light thrown up the river. Its claws, almost vestigial, are curled shut, and its large head is vaguely like a snapping turtle's, though its mouth is lined with sharp teeth. Whiskers like a catfish curl off from its snout and its white mane slowly waves in the air like seaweed underwater. The water dripping from it burn cold against Sai Yun's skin.

"You all dare to carry the abomination upon my river! You insult me!?" roars the dragon like a crashing river.

Each player makes a Dexterity saving throw.
Each player roll initiative.

The green outline is the dragon. The river is at elevation 0 feet, the boat is at 5 feet, the boxes are at 10 feet, Sai Yun and Chen Wu on top of the boxes (for now) are at 15 feet, and the dragon is at 25 to 40 feet.

The boat is moving forward (down) 30 feet per round at initiative count 20.

Swift Snake

Hon Yin grabs out at anything that could provide some promise of stability. He hears the shouts of panic as others as washed overboard but his attention is focused entirely on the dragon that has risen from the river.

Initiative

Swift Snake is lucky to be in the lotus position when the boat starts to rock.

Sai attempts to keep his balance as the boat rocks.

Chen Wu awakes of his half-asleep state with the Owl's rough, sudden movement just to see Charopos bad luck playing out and the covering they had being torn. He does his best to not follow the same fate the tiefling had while trying to make some sense out of the dragon's words in his mind.

Initiative Order and Status

Chen Wu (16/16 HP)
Zheng Sao
Boat
Dragon
Sai Yun (18/18 HP)
Fai Wa (prone)
Thu
Charopos
Swift Snake (17/17 HP)
Mad Mei
Hon Yin (14/14 HP)


Notes:

  • If a character is holding a pole in hand, they may make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check to push the boat to the left or right 10 feet. If a character beats this check by 5+, they may push the boat an additional 5 feet, and the same for 10+.
  • Pulling oneself up onto the boat from the river is a DC 13 Strength (Athletics) check unless the character is at the opening in the gunwale (if it is opened), which is currently at J-9 (moving on the grid as appropriate). In that case, the check is DC 10.
  • Each of the crew members have particular ways in which they can contribute. Their loyalty to the adventurers affects their choices.

All the adventurers manage to hold on, though Fai Wa was thrown to the deck. The other crew members thrown into the river cry out. The dragon's deep blue eyes glitter as its head rears back again.

It is now Chen Wu's turn.

Chen Wu draws his pistol out of instinct, his left hand quickly reaching the box of magical bullets. He carefully climbs down from the boxes and addresses the dragon. "Oh mighty dragon, please calm down. We have no intention to insult you, nor do we know what this so called abomination is. If you can enlighten us in that matter, we'll happily cooperate and not disturb your sacred waters again."

The door to the cabin slams open, revealing a harassed Zheng Sao, her hair wild without her ha. Her eyes blaze and dart about until locking onto Mad Mei in the water. "Mei Mei!"

The boat continues riding down the river, and the crew members overboard also struggle as they tumble along in the water.

The dragon's eyes flash at Chen Wu's words. "The abomination's speech fouls the air that bears it as its vessel fouls the water!" The dragon looms closer to the sorcerer, meets his eyes, and opens its mouth. Clear water blasts out slams into Chen Wu and Swift Snake.

In response, Chen Wu lets out a shot and the bullet explodes by the dragon's head. A thick fog pours out, filling up the space above half the boat. The fog swallows up both the dragon and Sai Yun. Wisps pour into the cabin and covers the ceiling.

Chen Wu and Swift Snake each must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or take 8 bludgeoning damage. If a player fails this save, they must also make a DC 11 Strength saving throw.

Swift Snake
