C'tyl! C'tyl, come quickly! Shillouroth couldn't hide the thread of excitement in her tone. The young man obliged, picking up his pace to where the green was waiting on the beach. It was easy to see why she was excited, and for once, he didn't care if he looked like a fool. He ran to snatch up as many spiderclaws as he could, soon filling buckets full of them. A truly excellent day, and hopefully their contributions would continue to help out the Weyr.

41-50: 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. If you are a rider, your dragon is able to support you, and you manage to bring in a full net of packtails. Riders with XP points add 5 points to their total.
It was a near thing, this time. The wave hit him mid-thigh and nearly took him down, but Ardupath was there in time with a solid body check that both kept G'rus on his feet and the net in his hands. Right! That was the way a boy raise ind in the Fishercrat should do it.

Running Total Player Score: +27 Character: En'cai and bronze Spurth
"Back up, back p, backup," En'cai was telling hmself as he worked on reeling in his catch. He was so absorbed in that that he missed a warning shout before a wave crashed into him from behind, on its way back out to deeper water. He staggered, pinwheeling an arm. ad for a moment it looked like he might fall.
But Spurth reached over, catching the back of En'cai's shirt with very careful teeth and kept him upright, and his catch still safely on the hook.
"Thanks, pal," En'cai said to the bronze. "Guess we get to eat tonight after all."

Sorsha tugged and tugged at the net to bring it in. It was heavy -- must have been full of fish! Suddenly out of nowhere a rogue wave reared out of the water and nearly washed her off the floating dock. She felt her hand slip and her grip loosen on the net, felt the catch escape back into the ocean, their shimmering bodies revealing them to be a school of packtails. "Shells!" the girl swore. An entire day's fishing wasted!

Well if she was to be out fishing then she would put everything she had into it. She also secretly liked fishing though she would have some people she didn't like think that fishing was beneath her, then secretly do it anyway.
It calmed her and Yurath enjoyed watching her hunt. He said she was very good at it that he had taught her well. To which she would always say that it had been felines she had learned from but he had perfected hunting. He was a sweet and salty blue only for her. To everyone else he was salted lemon juice. She still thought he was as cute as when he had emerged from his egg.
She chased spiderclaws until she had a fair batch to bring back. Yum. Spiderclaws when you could catch them were worth it and honestly better than fish in her opinion. She gleefully showed her catch to her admiring dragon.
Surely you have a knack for this, for the water is teaming with sea life. Roll a D4 to find out how plentiful your catch is!
You head out with a few others to fish the deeper waters, and lo and behold, you successfully return with noneother than a massive deepfish! It was a fight to catch, but outside of being covered in saltwater and seafoam, you're practically a hero! Deepfish! Deepfish! +20 points
If you are a rider, take your two highest stats. Whatever the total is, add those to the points you earn! (i.e. 8 + 2 = 10... so you get an extra 10 points to whatever you rolled above!)
(5 + 3 = cool
Aryale didn't often venture out to deeper waters - she'd had great success by the shoreline. After the previous week's accident, not her own, she'd decided to push a little harder. Try to do more where now multiple people dear to her could not. Despite her smaller size, she'd managed, with the assistance of her dragon, to fight the strong tug on the other end of her pole.
A deepfish. How nostalgic. Maybe we can sneak Tierboskath a bite of this later. she mused, patting Yaguareth as the green wrangled the trashing fish long enough for Aryale to take her knife and deliver a killing blow. This would make a few good meals and help keep her loved ones at the Weyr, surely.
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
T'shim wasn't a fisherman. Yet the last few weeks had felt fruitful.
Because you're so smart! Seuafaith reminded his rider of the endless support the bronze had for what was, admittedly, a natural knack to pick up skills. But he'd not brag or boast about a fair haul of silverfish.
Instead, he'd let his dragon once again haul it back for him.
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 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]
Karinne and Hrimnith had gone out to sea that day to try their luck with one of the nets. She wasn't sure how her foot had tangled in the net, but the net hadn't been the only thing tossed out - Karinne herself had gone to sea in the tangle.
Had she gone alone, it may have been worse. But instead the only loss that day would be a net and a bit of shaken nerves.
51-60: As you're preparing to run your net, you discover that the beach is swarming with spiderclaws. You decide the fish can wait, and instead, start gathering the shelled creatures. That's good eatin'! You are successful and able to bring back quite the haul! +15 points
Spiderclaws were not Pr'gal's favorite food, but when the Weyr needed food, personal preference meant next to nothing. There were spiderclaws to be picked up, so he grabbed a bucket and got to work.
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.

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

A gold flit for Zh'gan. Woot!
No one could be good at everything and Zh'gan had certainly demonstrated that he wasn't good at fishing. He was still determined to do what he could, though. He'd wandered off to see if he could find another wave of spiderclaws at least.
Instead, he'd almost-literally stumbled over a nest of firezards, apparently forgotten by the dam who'd laid it. In the midst of other broken egs, a little gold sat, creeling for food and desperately waving her wings to encourage the Big Thing to put food in her mouth. Cracking a smile, Zh'gan pulled a sweet roll out of his pocket and pulled off a piece as he crouched in front of her. It wouldn't satisfy her, but it was something, wasn't it?
