Awesome news. I have been seconded to the safety dept. For 3 months to trial for a possible permanent position as a safety advisor.
Not only is it a better job (possibly with better pay), but I am now approved for mobile useage on site, so I can post more.
Good news for everyone! Congratulations!
Woot! :)
We will hope you ace the trial get it permanent. :)
Congratulations, Adriel! :)
Just cause I need to whine: tonight's shift has absolutely sucked.
Sorry I keep asking, but what was our payout from the ship, I need to update my wealth.
Also, Baldwin.
Would you be willing to run a couple of one shot encounters to try out the ACG classes?
I considered posting a recruitment thread but couldn't think of a DM who could come close to your pacing and maps.
We could use players only from this game and your rappan athuk game for expediency.
Our cut as crew was 55.37gp, Adriel.
Adriel are you talking about your initial cut of loot for transporting the people out of Westcrown or the loot from the Seabear?
Astri do you know offhand how much I gave for the cut to transport?

Damn you're a crafty one. :-)
I don't have the book but let me think about it.
We were given 3,000gp each for the transport.
Or at least that's how I interpreted it.
To make this run the capt, officers and crew all agreed to an even split of 3,000gp apiece. Any sailor knows this is rare. This run was not the norm.
Yes it was 3000.
3000 that's what I meant.
Cheers.
Out for the afternoon. Probably be back in the evening.
I don't want the cleric NPC to overshadow your group, so he is taking a backseat with the boy for now.
Darius is purposefully outside and patrolling around the house to keep nosy parties away.
Frankly, Sath is insulted everyone assumes they need the cleric to help this child at all...
Went to the zoo this morning, then went and had a pedicure this afternoon.
Going to go read thru and post to the thread now. :)
My toes are cute. :)
It's been light posting today so it shouldn't take you long.
Once we get to actually sizing up the town for what sort of venture we could establish, I figure we should do the following:
1) Party. Cause ya. Needs to happen.
2) Do a few Gather Information checks to see what people around here desire that isn't available.
3) Find suitable property to set up in.
And sorry for light posting. Work was hell last night, and couldn't really contribute meaningfully. Tonight is (so far) much better so I hopefully can interact some as well as not be worthless tomorrow when I wake up.
Was busy today myself, and will probably be busy in the evening tomorrow.
Darius, that is exactly the list I had in mind with shopping thrown in between 1 and 2.
Astrianna is going to do some serious information gathering when the time presents itself. She wants to know who runs the show around Shaw and seeing how to stay on their good side.
Short-term she wants to know how to drug trade is and will want to get in on some of that action.
Long-term this will probably involve going to The Kraken’s Gullet in the Jade District and rubbing elbows with the upper crust- She will need a well-dressed date, of course, and Darius is her first pick due to his roots and he can handle himself if things go to shit. From there she can establish herself as an expert fiddle player/life of the party and work her way into the inner circle of Port Shaw's puppetmasters.
That's if we decide to stay in Shaw for a while, of course. We could go on an adventure, looking for Falken's grounded ship. We'll certainly meet him again and it may even be there.
Also I don't think we want to be going into the water. One of the npcs remarked "Sharks'll git 'em fer sure, they been biting everyone." and Amaya's boy was bitten by a shark. Malta mentioned it was "the time of the shark" and such.
Yay! A date!
We'll have to get you some clothes first. We can't go hob-nobbing with you wearing THAT with THOSE.
My dear, you have not Hob-Nobbed until you've Hob-Nobbed with me. Lol.
5 Ranks: Profession (Hob-Nobbery)
If I don't get a post up this evening I'll get on up in the morning.
K.
Should I be asleep when it gets posted, and we get a chance to party:
1) Darius will try to find us a nice but lively establishment (that we don't have to to worry too much about getting shanked in the back) and order a nice meal and a bottle of their finest wine. (Will spend up to 100 gp on the celebrations, unless the bottle of wine is super expensive).
If I need to roll Gather Information Diplomacy to find one... , that should be sufficient for commonly known information.
2) Flirt with both Astrianna and Embrianna. In case I am asleep, I will roll Diplomacy to see how well I do:
3) Find a very nice inn suite to stay in for the night, (preferably with female company, nudge nudge ladies). Will spend up to 50 gp on this: UE lists it at 32 gp+.
Keep in mind, this is a situational post to provide some info on how I would be acting as a DMPC, instead of staring into space zombie like. If we don't get to a party moment by the time I wake up, or if I'm awake, I'll post for myself instead.
Oh my, those are some good flirting rolls.
Depending on what time it is when we exit the Quell house, we should:
1)If it's only the afternoon go shopping in the Silk (yay)
2)Head to the Bawd district after shopping, go to Miss Molley's Bath House and get all clean.
3)Head to The Broken Skull to join Henk and see some prize fights.
Lots of things to do and those are some fine lists. There is plenty to do. I've provided quite a few teases/hints of things, places, and people to investigate, explore, or follow-up on since you've been at Port Shaw.
Astrianna: Only shared baths. Unfortunately only room for 4. Adriel and Hawkins will have to go elsewhere. Lol!
No overnight posts? That was unexpected. I'll get something up soon.
I'm going to be offline for a couple hours.
Sorry. Was working on my warpriest between, y'know, WORKING.
Sorry- out for tonight, DMPC as needed.
Going to be out for a few hours.
Astrianna is going to be purchasing a normal courier's outfit in the latest style for upper-crust hob-nobbing and then requesting a custom, very specific courier's/entertainer's outfit to be made for her to perform in, which I will describe soon.
She will also be making jewelry purchases to go with the outfits, probably 100gp worth at least. May not be able to do that at the haberdasher's.
All the clothing prices are our to the CRB and supplements as listed on the pfsrd.
Hats are different:
standard hat -10 gp
Dashing hat - 25 gp
Dontorian's specials - 250 to 750 gp
Does he have the stuff Adriel wants?
If it clothing he has it. You do know that if you intend to go to some locations in the Jade district you need high end clothing. if you guys ask around in this shop they will advise you of that. You will all need noble outfits (if not Royal quality) and jewelry. it may be pirate port town but some things are very high end.
It will take 2-4 days to get all the dresses and high end outfits ready.
The more causal stuff that Darius is buying right now they have and can fit you for.
I also want both casual and high-end outfits. :)
Now I just need to find some Darkleaf Cloth to make a darkleaf leather lamellar for Thrasher. Cost 60gp +750 for darkleaf.
Adds +4 AC to my little buddy with 0 armor check.
If he is gonna be swooping into combat he needs protection.!
Going to buy the following:
-Gold Brooch, clasping a Silk Reversible Cloak (black on the outside, red on the other). 125 gp
-Nobles Outfit, in local style but preferably also black and red in color. 75gp
-Courtier's Outfit, same color scheme. 30 gp
-"Masterwork" Ruby Pendant and a stylish ring. 100 gp
-A stylish wide brimmed hat that matches the outfit (black, red band). Dontorians Noble Design: 750 GP
1080 on clothing. Will deduct coinage and add to inventory.
Sell items half value correct?
selling items is half retail value.
Ok. I dropped my clothing purchases in my profile in the haversack for now, though I will wear my hat and courtiers outfit out of the shop.
I'll get to any questions asked tomorrow.
As soon as our four hours of roaming and gathering info are over, Darius will be looking to meet the others at the bath house for a proper bath. Don't like splitting the party at a table, let alone on PBP.
Adriel's characters that died in my COT game occurred when he got too far ahead or separated for the main party.
I have to read and work through the game posts it may not be until I get to the office.
Foreshadooowiiiiing
She caught a glimpse of the shop keeper, Samuel, drafting a treasure map to Garr Bloodbane's hoard. He quickly pushed it under some papers on his desk.
Hmm we'll have to discuss this and whatever Hawkins and Darius found out at the bath house.
Baldwin: Did Darius not manage to uncover anything regarding potential valuable markets here?
