OK, let's get this show back on the road :)

Jareena's led the show with some pagan magics at 20, calling upon Urox
to curb his anger.

Rikku's augmenting with taking control of the craft and organising the
others (including Euryonome, Rotterex and Kalen) with an augment of +7.

Azhur's casting from the Abiding Book plus Worship God augment would be
most appropriate for an additional +2.

Imsa is calling for the influence of Merfolk; this is an independent
action which has a resistance of 10W (merfolk go deep below in a storm,
but there's always a chance they'll hear your calls). A success for
Isma's calls,  a failure for the merfolk resistance but bumped to a
success because of the mastery. Overall, a minor success of Isma - which
will be held as a plot device.

So that's W9 all up, versus the storm's 10W2. An excellent roll of 2 for
the party, a success bumped to a critical versus a roll of 5, a success,
bumped to a critical and one more bumping the party's critical down to a
success. So that's a minor defeat. 

Of course, one more Hero Point will make it a minor success for the
party...

The boat gets caught in the storm between the winds of Orlanth and that
of Storm Bull. Despite the prayers and cries by those upon the vessel,
it is torn between the two godly powers. For hours the sky is darkened
and time itself becomes unknowable in the desperate quest to merely
remain on board. Then a great wave lifts the boat high...
