hmmm, I may change up Constable Cloudbuster. kinda regretting going with the off-the-cuff swashbuckler cliche.

maybe more stout, dogged blue collar stiff with a big stick.
more Marge Gunderson/Buford Pusser...

Heh - you only wants to do that so you can give Dibbs a bigger beatdown :P

In other news I'm also travelling first two weeks of October - headed off to Australia for catching up with relatives time. Will still be online able, just with less regularity and with likely some gaps.

Heh - you only wants to do that so you can give Dibbs a bigger beatdown :P

YOU BETCHA!

Heh - change of interrogating officer from a foppish potentially influenceable sort to a more hard-nosed bloke has forced a change in Dibbets unconventional negotional strategy.... though I think we're not too far from a smack in the head...

yeah sorry about the mixed message- I reread her description in the Shackles book and realized that she's not really a pirate though some of her deputies are. I'm sure the Shackles are full of corrupt officials, but decided to play her more as a common sailor doing her best to control alot of bored petitioners in Plumetown.

sometimes I throw an NPC out there and it fights for its own identity.

Heh - no worries, we'll just assume the earlier interpretation came from the whiskey fairies ;)

On another note - did Dibbs retain all of his gear? - didn't see any explicit mention that he didn't.

no obvious weapons are allowed; i.e. daggers, incendiary devices, xbows, etc. He hasn't been officially booked yet so they wouldn't take everything away.

Curses! - so Dibbs is just left with his malodorous odour and wit as the twin weapons at his disposal :P

Arrivederci, the Groom. Likewise I'll be traveling the first week of Oct. Going to Santa Fe actually to see a girl.

I could of bought you a pint if I was not in Italy, although I guess the girl takes presedence.

Curses! - so Dibbs is just left with his malodorous odour and wit as the twin weapons at his disposal :P

Your pants could stand by your side...quite literally......and hey! Why aren't you wearing pants?

The ol' raggy pants are probably more than ripe by now eh?

Wow! I'll be travelling next week, and the first week in Oct. as well. Next week should be able to post, but late the following week will be spotty...Never know in PR.

Heh. AFAIK I'll be staying around home for the next few weeks, unlike the rest of you lot. Safe travels, all.

I haven't checked the game play thread yet, but it looks like someone got wordy there--fourteen posts since I went to bed last night. Someone get on Officer Friendly's bad side?

Curses! - so Dibbs is just left with his malodorous odour and wit as the twin weapons at his disposal :P

like you were going to do anything with your toothpick? you are only left with your 2 most potent weapons.

Hur. Safe travels one and all, like Jimmer I ain't going nowhere for the foreseeable.

Dibbs please keep yer kecks on, Dingus flashing his snake on a regular basis is enough without adding a pickled winkle to the mix! :)

Dibbets will be flying out of Malaysia and back into Australia on 28th September and will be visiting family for a couple of weeks through to the 15th of October. While I should still be able to check in periodically it will likely cause a few interruptions and my posts may involve a little more brevity than usual.

If needed at any point feel free to keep things moving with a DMPC :)

Anyone else completely lost all their dotted games/threads???

Mine were eaten up before my eyes lol...

About half of mine disappeared. I fell behind thinking that nobody was doing anything. Fortunately this one stayed.

I've learned not to trust the dots and 'new post' updates as far as I can throw them. I just run down the campaign page and open the lot of 'em - just to be sure.

every now and again i lose a dot. if things seem unusually quiet i take a peek just to make sure.

Alright, I'll be entering Quarter grades, GMing RinCon this weekend, and out and about in NM next week (sorry to have missed you, Groom.) As Groom and Dibbs and Jim are likely scarce as well, I'd say low burner for the next week.

Despite expectations, which I hate to disappoint, but berry picking and beach combing are trouble free. Enjoy a day or two of shore leave in game if you are so inclined, boys.

Slow and steady on the slack tide does seem like the way to go for the next week or so.

Works fer me too lads

I'm back in the states, but not yet home. Had a good trip, but it will good to get back home. I will try to get read-up and back in the threads over the next day or two. Should be home and up to speed by Thursday. Sorry for the posting gap.

Have returned from two weeks of sick kids and spending between two and four hours a day driving around Perth visiting family and what not. Ready, willing and able to knuckle back down to the dirt selling business.

Sorry I haven't posted lately. Still trying to rebuild my computer after the hard drive decided that mtbf was asymptotically approaching zero. I should have something later today.

Ouch...

I managed to cajole the failing hard drive into giving up an image file, swapped in a new drive, and spent an hour or so watching the computer rebuild itself. Seems to work OK now.

Didn't we just get art supplies for the flumph and now some Siren wants to paint something?.....oh wait...I think I read that wrong....never mind.

Merely a forshadowing of yet another group of gribblies that's going to come and eat us :P

One day I'll get back to Freeport and get me musket... one day...

hmmm, you could open an art supply shop... The Pirate's Palette?

foreshadowing? don't know what you're talking about ; )

One day I'll get back to Freeport and get me musket... one day...

meh, it's only been about 6 weeks game time. seems longer though, eh?

Just a tad longer :P - considering that I put the 500gp down on July 13, 2011... though in the Gnome's defence he did say it would take several months to complete.

Ooo - nows the choice... the scarred, the snake, the scary or the lustfully unlucky... which shall we dress up as a Siren's plaything? :P

Well, Jim did just get a really posh suit of clothes....

Bloody hell... once, just once it'd be nice to do a job that didn't end up as a Humiliation Conga for our intrepid pirates.

We sold the rocks for 400gp... now the Grackles expecting a cut from 3,000gp...

We sold the rocks for 400gp... now the Grackles expecting a cut from 3,000gp...

hee-hee. seriously though, i'm not sure diplomacy is the best skill for haggling, though it seems to be the standard. I do think you're out to sea, so to speak, on the price without a good appraise or identify on the goods however...

I'll be at a con this weekend and the hotel charges for internet access. I'll try to keep up using my phone, but posting may be sporadic.

I have a favor to ask of you, Cap'n, as long as it isn't too involved. Could you put together a list of the loot we've gotten since we were marooned?

ETA: It'll make for a little light reading whilst Kaul goes forth and commits mayhem.

well considering this is largely off the cuff, i haven't really kept a list. that's why i harp on y'all about it. I guess it'll be a bit of a treasure hunt at this point...

I know from the seal caves you got:
+1 darkwood buckler
2 potion clw
Dibbs' spell recall pearl

Goblin chest-
5 alch fire
hand of glory- allowing user to cast daylight or knock once per day at CL 10.
500gp in assorted junk jewelry and silver skull coins

Mayor's loot-
2 potions lesser restoration
+1 Vicious Spear,
potion of shield of faith +2,
wand of cure moderate wounds

Sentinel island-
Silver pipes
Kaul's boarding axe

Thank you much, Cap'n.

I believe Groom has the buckler, I don't remember ever dividing up the cash or the potions, and I think Dingus may have the spear at the moment. We should really sell it, though.

I do have the buckler. And I got a dead Pirate's coat off Sentinel Islands. And there is the Sea Pact ring of swimming that is 'floating around' out there somewhere. the Groom will hold onto it if no one seems too attached to it at present.

Stupid rules question here: does the Weapon Focus feat add +1 to combat maneuver rolls with the specified weapon?

ETA: Never mind, found the answer. (It's yes, btw, which is what I expected.)

From Tum-Bobo's Floating Palace:
Bracers of Armor +2 - Dingus?
Amulet of Natural Armor +1 - to Jimmer
Bird and fan Feather Tokens - to Dibbets, Fan is used, still have Bird
Tum-Bobblehead - to Kaul
500 gp in assorted jewelry and coin, mainly silver skulls.

Octogoblin:
+1 darkwood buckler - to Groom
2 potion clw
Dibbs' spell recall pearl

Goblin chest:
5 alch fire
hand of glory- allowing user to cast daylight or knock once per day at CL 10.
500gp in assorted junk jewelry and silver skull coins

Mayor's loot:
2 potions lesser restoration
+1 Vicious Spear, - lets sell it aye?
potion of shield of faith +2,
wand of cure moderate wounds - to Dibbs

Sodden Sailor Fight (Sentinel Island):
Magic ring - I don't think we managed to ID?
Cloak of the Manta Ray - to Dibbets
Heavy Boarding Axe +1 - to Kaul
Silver pipes - ? (I didn't notice this on a read through Cap'n)
1500gp in gold and jewels

Cloak of the Manta Ray - to Dibbets
Heavy Boarding Axe +1 - to Kaul

Ah, figured that I missed a couple. Isn't the ring the ring of swimming?

silver pipes

also mentioned there are 2 cases of +1 xbow bolts and pricey incense.

Oooh - Pipes... I guess we never ID'd those either :P

It might be a ring of swimming... which would bring us up to three items to help our waterborne mobility?
Seapact ring
Cloak of the Manta
Ring of Swimming?

The Seapact ring properly is a ring of touch of the sea as the spell with unlimited duration.

I seem to recall a ring of swimming, but i'll research it.

Ah, "faint abjuration" that there be a ring of protection +1

Roger that Cap'n.

Methinks that when we all get back together the Groom will need to make a fairly critical Knowledge (Connect the Dots) to try and figure out what the Siren is...

Kaul- you want to give me your intentions?? one failed B-n-E roll per day isn't getting us anywhere fast... um take 20?
