I roll 20's when I'm just messing around or roleplaying, anything important and I usually roll <5.
I'm in good company, then.
OK, It's gonna take tomorrow probably for all the char sheet house keeping.
Stat line will be updated in the AM (perception is only thing not final, waiting on skill point distro)
Otherwise, +1 Scimitar. MW Breastplate.
Muleback Cords...
If it's OK with everyone... we can get going. Don't want to hold things up. Everything should be final within 24-36 hours.
Just transcription and some thought to gear.
Sorry for the lack of posting- my mind wandered off on me yesterday and I always get worried about the things it might drag back with it when it returns...
It was lite posting day anyway with Sorrin finishing his character and I think Adriel is still on a work shift that limits his posting.
I'm going to off line most the morning, I've a bit of work to do until about 1 pm eastern.
Yeah guys. Sorry about my lack.
Hopefully things settle down.
My new routing is Week on (days-bugger all posting), Week off (regular posting), Week on (night's regular posting), Week off, repeat.
Currently on days.
Down to Traits & Gear.
Astrianna needs to learn to play this
m.youtube.com/watch?v=KEJa_VgpIAc
Oh and this.
This is awesome.
I used to play this on Bagpipes
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LGt_KpgXymU
And this.
This woman is awesome. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SZUcEmREZ9Y
The last of the Mohican's is awesome. I can see that as street performance in Port shaw.
Wow that song by the Corrs was amazing. I'll need some flute accompaniment though, get Adriel practicing!
I love Taylor Davis- she is phenomenal, glad you're a fan too!
I'm just waiting for level 11 so Astri can get this: Legato Piece on the Infernal Bargain (String).
So she can play THIS. I love how Charlie Daniel's bow is just destroyed at the end.
Off for phase two of my work today, I may be a little later than 1 pm.
Whenever I picture Adri fiddling, I think of:
Lindsey Stirling
Haha I also love Lindsey Stirling! You all have excellent taste. I kind of imagine that too, maybe Baldwin would let me combine string and dance performances!
Just Gear left, traits done... sorry doing this in between chores!
I need a nap. Back later.
Out early- first day of training at new job tomorrow, see you tomorrow after 5-6 EST.
DM is asleep, post ponies.
May he rest well!
Also, Embri has been uncharacteristically quiet, she must be busy.
I'm actually exhausted. Weekend of of work. I'm going to veg out tonight.
Veg away! I'm running experiments in my lab. It's late-night Science Sunday.
Nah, not busy, just sicky. :(
Wanting to get some scrolls to add to my spell list. Any suggestions?
Air Bubble, Web Bolt, Communal Mount, Commune with Birds
Never really worried much about gear in your games before.
How detailed are we being (magic/encumbrance is understood)?
Going through GP cost, now... The accounting.
Oh definitely air bubble! Commune with Birds would be useful too. Though Emmy may not like that...
I'm super anal about encumbrance so I keep track of my own, but I don't think Baldwin has ever said anything about it?
I do have an issue with the description of the air bubble spell. I object it being called harmless. I bet that if I cast air bubble on a fish underwater that it would totally die.
Air bubble is also great for avoiding the effects of sticking cloud.
I am playing a Fullplate Warpriest in a Test Module with Baldwin and prepped Air bubble because the game is on an Island and I wanted contingency against drowning.
Then he had a wizard drop a stinking cloud on the party and I got to ignore it. Awesome sauce!
Haha so you did get to play your warpriest after all. :p
While I'm at Jasper Jak's I'm considering picking up a spring-loaded wrist sheath to use with my fancy noble's dress. Can't go around packing a sword and still be fashionable unfortunately.
I could have Adriel carry Astrianna's sword I suppose... hmmm.
You need a thigh sheath and a cleverly hidden slit in your dress to draw it through. :)
Or just be prepared to flash the whole party if you don't want to bother with a slit in the dress.
But really, fancy dresses are so damn big you could hide a whole arsenal under them, plus a couple halflings.
No problems there, I rather like the way his char is turning out.
More Bron than a Oberon.
Now Astrianna can wonder if he is referring to her ACTUAL singing last night or her performance in bed.
Speaking of which I have to go sleep. Back in 6 or so hours. last day shift tomorrow.

With a handy haversack or BOG encumbrance really isn't an issue however drowning in heavy armor is distinct possibility. I would like the general layout of where thing are kept on the body...little pick pockets my be prowling.
Would you feel better if I splurged an extra 200 gp on an Agile Breastplate? It's 5 pounds less and better constructed... you'd think it would o more than 1 ACP for Climb.
Sheesh... It should just have better 1 ACP period.
Corsairs wear medium armor as a class feature.
It doesn't matter to me what you wear. How much coin do you have remaining?
I need an hour or so to help my daughter with something.
I care- you will not be poorly dressed in Astrianna's company! :p
It doesn't matter to me what you wear. How much coin do you have remaining?
With regular +1 breastplate (non agile)... about 1000 gp.
Hey... thanks for having me folks.
Sorry if I first few posts are a bit stand-offish... i took the hook/bait Baldwin offered.
But, Sorrin is coming from a different harsher, yet possibly more beautiful place (in his eyes). He's a what you see is what you get sorta guy. Refinery isn't his thing, though he does like to be neat and prepared with items/equipment/weapons.
He's not high class, though nearly a exiled prince (desert chieftain's son) a very long way from home. Think Arabian Nights or Jason and the Argonauts.
The Persians (the decent looking ones) in 300.
He's not stupid nor is he unattractive. Gruff, rough around the edges. he stays in decent places because he doesn't want to have to kill anyone, not because he needs to.
Oh, and the contrast of you Elf sorts (half-elves too) and his rather Human perspective will be interesting.
If you have roughly 1000 Gp add another 1500 to your total available, this would be your share of loot/pay from your last voyage. The rest of the party received a little gold boon on their way over and I want to keep you in line with their reserves right now. They were considering a business opportunity together. they been bantering about eh idea of buying ship, or starting purchasing a tavern. I'm sure they will tell you more about that.
Yeah, I've been trying to stimulate discussion on the matter, but so far everyone is pretty meh- likely because we have little direction at the moment and are trying to gather information/find jobs/ discover a big 'ol quest and save the WORLD.
By the way- here is a Spreadsheet I put together to represent the group's knowledge about npcs, locations, rumors, etc. Astrianna takes detailed notes in her journal, which is mainly what the spreadsheet represents.
Ship or Tavern, you need muscle (as it were). I'm glad Baldwin took the time to assemble a crew for Captain Sorrin the Osprey.
You guys have rich tastes.. Mithral Breastplate is 4200 gp (non magical).
Astrianna is quite concerned with style- no other armor will do, and she will look fabulous in it!
Honestly there are better things for her to spend her money on optimization wise (Like a badass bow) but I'm too much of a roleplayer to spend money wisely. More booze and drugs!
Sorrin:
There is one district in Port Shaw that is very well to-do, and several places have dress codes. Dress armor, noble outfits. They may be pirates and thieves but they like to act upscale. In your time in Port you would have heard about this and perhaps escorted to other areas better suited for you, if you were not dressed properly. You would have figured out there is no quicker way to get yourself thrown in Fort Stormshield cells then to offend those in the Jade district.
Oh no, I didn't mean he didn't dress for the occasion... I saw the spoiler you had for him about "finery", I just mean as his day to day... his comfort zone.
I'm just trying to give you a few tidbits of information to get you up to speed in the game. Plus, you've been the Port a few days longer than they have been. When I get around to it, I'll send you an PM with a few pieces of information or rumors that you've picked up over the last week.
I've just been swamped the last few days. I feel like I'm behind the 8-ball in all my games.
Nah, you're doing great... Don't be so hard on yourself.
You are a phenomenal GM Baldwin, even when you're swamped!
For comparison: My other GM (he is also very, very good) has been busy with work, haven't heard a peep from him in a week. You handle the work/game balance quite well.
Thanks.
I'm logging off for the night.
Bri is debating ways to get discounts............
Appraise and Diplomacy skill checks might be your safest course of action.
