11-20: You did great! Either you took some training in the Seacraft or you're just a natural! Regardless, you manage to haul in a net full of nothing but delicious silverfish. The delicacy will make some good eating! Yum, yum yum. +10 points

Maybe no one else had believed in A'kios, but A'kios had believed in himself. Anyway, it didn't matter, because he manfully hauled in a net nearly overflowing with silverfish. This victory did not suddenly instill him with overweening pride, but he was satisfied. Take that, disbelievers!

Kiri She wasn't an exceptional fisher, but she wa grateful for the practice during her childhood and youth. Today, she managed to bring in a modest haul of fingertails, with nary an issue. Felisath was proud and pleased--and also quietly relieved.
1-10. You don't know exactly what happened, but somehow you have wound up tangled up in a fishing net, out in the middle of the ocean. You thrash around and try hard to free yourself, but all you wind up doing is breathing in the salt-water. Thankfully, you're fished out by your fellows, untangled from the net, and dragged back to shore. Outside of being a little traumatized, roll a D4 to see what the results of your poor fishing happened to be! Your net was torn and will require some patching, using up some of the Weyr's supplies. Any fish that might have been caught in it are now free to swim another day, and you bring in nothing for the day. Outside of wounded pride, and wet clothes, you're fine to continue fishing another day. [-5 points]
Your net was torn badly, and is now unusable. Any fish that might have been in the net are long gone, and you're not returning with a net loss of... a net lost! Not only that, but your nose burns, and you're not feeling too great thanks to your half-drown experience. Blegh. Better report the lost net. [-10 points]
You are feeling miserable. Your nose stings, you're nauseous from drinking up so much salt water, and you're a bit cut up from the hooks. To make it worse, you've lost the net in its entirety, and now need to go to the infirmary to get the hooks removed and ensure they don't get infected. Blargh. What a day. [-15 points]
You fall ill. Perhaps it was drinking too much saltwater; perhaps it was getting wrapped up in netting and wire, but you find yourself coming down with the sniffles, and then it turns into a full-blown cold. You wind up needing to be a few days in the infirmary, and aren't going to be able to participate for the next next sevenday. [-20 points, and character loses the next sevenday's roll (so skip a week)]
If you are a rider with XP points, take your two highest stats. Change that number to negative. You now take that many extra negative points. i.e. (3+5 = 8... you will take -8 on top of whatever you rolled above.)

Someday in the not too distant future C'sar was surely going to wake up with nightmares of being wrapped up in a fishing net and cast out to see. He'd spent his early days as a pampered holder's son - what did he know about the ocean? Or fishing, for that matter. It was only by virtue of his dragon's quick actions that he didn't also drown out there.

R'thell With Triesteth at his side, R'thell was only too happy to scour the beach. He was surprised to find the beach swarming with spider claws one morning, and made quick work capturing the multilegged creatures. He might have been sick of seafood, but every little bit helped.

Ty'len Once again, Ty'len found himself drowning, tangled up in a net, and in need of his peers. Once again, Exiloth found herself bugling in panic, and throwing herself into the water to help Hers. Once again, Ty'len found his entire catch, and net, lost to the sea--only this time he found himself with more than a few hooks lodged in him. He felt sick, with wounded pride. He was a Harper, not a fisherman--but even he couldn't believe he was this horrible at the craft.

As you begin to reel in the net or line, you are overpowered by a strong wave, and your catch is set free. Shardit! That had been a good haul, too! Nonriders or riders without XP points, take -5 points.

As luck would have it, Y'vel was able to bring in a fine haul. My Y'vel, T'ylen nearly drowned! ... Again! The little white could not coo over her rider's fortune when his weyrmate was in such peril.
What? Where is he? Take me to him at once! With his net full of silverfish pressed into a Candidate's hands, the rider climbed onto his dragon's back and took off.

Although A'ral was certainly sturdy enough to deal with most things readily, a strong wave was not among them. Even worse, Zinath was not nearby to aid him, although she came winging in for the assist. Too little too late, and alas the entire net full of fish was lost, leaving A'ral holding an empty net.

Huurrgh. Half-drowning herself at sea was not Sabina's idea of a good time. Not only that, but she'd actually broken her net! Shardit!
91-100: You decide to take a chance not on the water, but by hunting and scavenging on the beach itself. It seems to be successful! +5 points.
Oh-ho! You're in luck! You wind up finding some sea wherry and manage to hunt one down successfully! Thank Faranth--some real meat that isn't fish! Gain an extra +5 points.
You bring back a whole bunch of greens and some edible seaweed scavanged from the shore and nearby lagoons. The greens will add both nutrients and flavor, and can always be dried.
Wandering the beaches, you are able to bring back some shellfish, mussels, cockels, and clams. Some might be served raw, while others will be boiled and turned into various chowders and other dishes. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
While hunting the beach, you you find a newly hatched baby firelizard! The hungry being demands tribute, and you have no choice but to give in! Thankfully, you have a few snacks stashed to ensure this little flit doesn't go hungry. Well, this is an unexpected surprise... Roll a D20 to see what color, and Quote Uta! (You can only win this once per character. If you roll it on a character who has already Impressed, they simply find shells from an already hatched clutch instead.) 1-9. Green 10-14. Blue 15-17. Brown 18-19. Bronze 20. Gold
If you roll a gold but your character already has one, we will turn it into a bronze instead. You can not opt out of this flit. Just like some characters who never intended to Impress, this little flit is now yours. Surprise!

Aneirin rolled a green flit
---
This time, Aneirin went resolutely to the beach, certain that he would surely find something. His bag seemed to fill up with relative ease, but it was the little peeping sounds that drew him toward a newly hatched green firelizard. The poor thing was clearly fresh from the egg, and Aneirin reached down to offer her a spiderclaw. With eager greed, the little baby snatched it up, turning whirling rainbow eyes upon him.
