Welcome to Gaia! ::

2. Rather than attempting to steal from the pirates, you question them regarding the ship's disappearance. Although you aren't able to get a straight answer from them, they don't seem to know what you're talking about. You conclude that they're bluffing to stall for time.

1-10. Nothing of note here. All seems quiet. There's nothing but you, your dragon, the sweep riders, the sky, and the sea.

81. You find nothing but a lot of sun in your face while you sweep. Good thing you've got riding goggles.

65-70. A neighboring cothold has their feathers ruffled over Western's performance during Threadfall. In historic times dragonriders did not fly a Fall above the Western continent, therefore much of what you "know" about the patterns there is conjecture based off of the best that the experts can tell you about Threadfall in general, as well as Western weather patterns and experience from the past several Turns. Knowing that doesn't make explaining it to the cotholders any easier. Roll a D4 to see what happens.
--1. You manage, through sheer determination and charisma to talk the cotholders around to your side of things and part ways as unlikely friends.
--2. Although you try to explain why the Weyr has fallen short, your explanations just aren't up to snuff and you are instructed to take their complaints directly to the top.
--3. Not completely convinced by your platitudes, the cotholders nevertheless grudgingly settle down, with promises that they will be watching during the next Fall.
--4. You have caused a diplomatic incident and need to report directly back to the Weyrleader in order to avoid serious repercussions. You pay the cotholders off but sense that more trouble is on the way.

82-85. While flying a sweep, you encounter a merchant vessel that has been stranded on the coast for days. The cliff above is too high to scale and the ship has run aground with significant damage. You aid the captain and crew in transporting the ship to safety. The captain thanks you and seems a little shifty about his cargo. You get the feeling that you are being herded away from something, although everything you've seen so far appears to be above board. How strange.

56-60. You actually manage to find a fishing boat that saw the Southern Star - about two months ago on a very different voyage. Shaffit, just when you started getting your hopes up! Still, the fish is pretty good.

71-74. While searching for the Southern Star, you encounter an alarmingly dashing dolphineer. He or she seems... surprisingly friendly, considering the company you've recently been keeping. It becomes readily apparent that s/he has amorous intentions and you may either stay and enjoy a night of it with the dashing dolphineer (facing the consequences of abandoning your post upon your return) or get out of dodge. If you choose to stay, please quote your Wingleader and let them know. The next morning you find yourself alone with nothing but the memory of your time together to keep you warm. S/he took everything you own, you shaffing deadglow.
