Sorry guys. I'm here. Seems like just as I go on to post, I've been botted :-). No problem with the actions though. I'll try to be more prompt.

As both a heads up and an FYI - I shall be wending my way on holiday starting Monday, and will be out of the country from roughly 2-3 weeks give or take (through to about 10th April).

During such time my online time shall be curtailed from what I'm usually capable - which should engender a reduction in verbosity and potentially some unreliability when it comes to posting rates and speed.

I'm more that happy to be DMPC'd whenever it's appropriate, but am hopefuly that I should be able to keep up with all the PbPs that I'm currently playing in during the time down-under.

yeah, keep up, old son!

srsly though, I'm itching to wrap this up and get back to sea.

a well used crit though. crazy Dingus is fun and all, but I'd like to point out that he's still dangerous. probably should get him a bit of sanity restoration soon.

Sanity schmanity... we be crazy :)


sooo looking ahead as we wrap up this chapter. I suppose we have another week before Dibbs is back in force, but it seems like we've lost the Groom for good. It sounded like he was facing a career change so big life changes. I do hope we hear from his again someday when things settle again.

In the meantime, I think we're OK with a party of four. We'll miss the great flavor, but mechanics-wise I don't know that we're lacking anything. What do you all think?

Also, it's prob time to get out of Freeport for a while. Any ideas on where you might like to explore next? I have some ideas, but just wondering what you might be up for.


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

I don't know; with four of us there's not much pirating we can be doing unless we get ourselves a crew, and I also don't know what the level guidelines might be for that. If the typical ship has a Ftr10 (or even a Warrior10) for a captain, our career will be short and not particularly merry. OTOH, you could elide over the piracy bit--start with us in Sargava, e.g., trying to hand off the cursed MacGuffin we captured from some ship or other.

I wouldn't mind a bit of "fish out of water" play. Maybe pirates in a desert, or arctic environment???

Beauty is with a ship we can end up almost anywhere...

Some Sinbad (Harryhausen stylee) type voyage adventures would be cool?

Agree with Jim that life o' buccaneers could be a short one right now and we don't seem the types to follow orders either... 'sides we have some old scores to settle (cough-Half Inch-cough) and some old foes to encounter (anyone else still fearing the return o' Stumpy?)

I also have a whimsy (feck ye rarely hear a Scotsman use such language! lol) that out there waiting is our distorted dopplegang;

The Bride; crazed cultist of Zogmugot
Stabbits; vagrant Halfling Knife Fighter
Scrimshaw Scrawl; their Half Orc Cyphermage
Madame Jem; Complete and utter Houri
Mingus Dack; Monk of the (in)famous Naked Mongoose Stance school of fighting

I can but dream lol

Nicely done, Kaul! Maybe a little jaunt to Bizarro World or perhaps a transporter malfunction. Goatees all around and Hand me your AGONIZER!!

Dingus seems to always be a 'fish out of water' to me sooo...

Jim, I'm not really of the opinion that every authority figure needs to be level 10+. In fact, I rarely play beyond level 10. The game gets rather clunky in the teens in my opinion. To be honest I've thought about suggesting we try E8 when we get there, but I'll likely just try to drag out levs 6-9 for a while as that feels like the sweet spot.

I was thinking a foray into the Mwangi might be next. Kaul may have noticed that Tum-Bobo has grown less responsive of late as he's been too long from his jungle homeland. I might use some bits of "River into Darkness" if no one's played it.

Mwangi gets my vote... never played River Into Darkness neither


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Funny, that. I'd mentioned Sargava because I was also leaning towards some jungle boogie.

Re the power level, I could deal with P8/E8. Jim is pretty far from optimized for stand-up combat, but he was the first 3.x fighter I ever played. Currently I have a guisarme trip (mobile) fighter L5 in PFS, and he probably puts out at least half again the damage that Jim can, on top of being able to dump most bipeds we fight. But Jim is a lot of fun to play, and he really does better at plinking while setting up flanks for Kaul. Let the half-orc bring the pain.

That said, I'm strongly considering dipping into ranger when we hit 6th level. Low Perception checks suck when you're trying to sneak around.

Iffin we're looking fer Dibbet's evil twin... surely he'd be a fine upstanding teetotal from Cheliax?

Jungle boogie is good with me too... p'raps Kaul and Dibbs get drunkerer than usual after this boogie and our mouths run a bit much and make a few wagers that send us jungle-ward. Play our cards right and we could even recruit a few locals and come back with our own semblance of crew?

Jimmer - Dibbs is the least optimised amongst us though... he's got bugger all to do in combat but heal and quip :P

Well...There are lots of snakes in the Jungle. Maybe we'll heal up Dingus's mind a bit, then practice swinging from vines...


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

My available net time just went from 'some' to 'almost none' for the rest of the holiday. It would be appreciated if I can be DMPC'd until I get back to KL on the 14th of April.

Apologies for the hassle.

Even with our current relatively slow pace, the Freebooters are still 32nd overall for total number of posts in the Gameplay thread, and something like ten of the ones ahead of us are inactive. But GM Blood's first AoW game, the one I'm playing in, is coming up fast.

Trip was tiring but good. Three weeks, three cities, three batches of family and friends. Came back sporting the sum results of my enjoyment weighing down my midriff ;)

Welcome back shipmate...

Ah yes the anchor of fine cuisine... know it well :)

Heads up regarding some impending travels on my front - I'll be heading o'er to Norway Thursday 17th April and will not be back in Scotia until later on Sun 20th...

Visiting friends so giving fair warning that postings will likely be very few (if any) and drunken if at all :) so please DMPC Kauly as required - his modus operandi is pretty established. Hur.

We've picked up the pace lately--25 game posts in the last week alone.


well, with all the comings and goings this month, I've let our 3 year anniversary pass without fanfare.

Huzzah for sticking with it for so long! There's plenty more fun to come.

Actually, I was thinking it'd be a good time to start a Grudge List. I think Kaul's got the start on one, but I'd like to add it to the campaign page.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

It's been a crossing my mind as well Cap'n, with similar sentiments. Here's to another three years!

FYI - as per always the 'versary present will be running a wee bit late. I'll keep ye appraised as to when it'll be expected.

As to the grudge list - a damn good idea Cap'n, as we do have a fair old list of them.


i do think Peg-leg is going to get tired of you all using his church as a crash pad all the time ; ) also time is of the essence as the whole east end of town is about to explode.

Besmara's a kinda hard one to figure out. With strife and sea monsters being her main concerns, the usual 'save town' plot lines don't feel all that important to her. I guess I see her as an anarchist that doesnt like anyone except her bossing her pets around.

Seems like she could overlap with several of the other Chaotic gods from Cailean to Gorum to Rovagug honestly. With the Groom at CN I'm leaning him toward the Gorum part of the continuum as I have him bow out I guess.

A Cure for Insanity!

Three way to remove Insanity Points:
1. Restoration spells- easy but spendy.
2. Therapy- -1 Insanity Point/ week of Heal check DC 25
3. MADNESS! burn off points of Insanity with short and long term psychoses.

Cap'n - do we know of anyone in Freeport high enough level to cure Dingus' brain? I know Gwyllin was stated as not being powerful enough... and from memory we cured the last from Jimmer via scrolls?

Edit: Yep


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Scrolls it was, bought from a gnome priest of Abadar (I think).

Yep. Two from Mog. He cast one for you, but I'm not sure what became of the other.

All y'all talk about is getting paid, but you're awful at tracking treasure and never spend anything anyway. The chest has another 4500 gold which brings your Vaults account up to 16200.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

That's just because the others are too savvy to give Dibbs the key to the lot o' it :P


Soooo where you bound? you've go the day: rest up, deposit the gold, heal Dingus' head? Do you still have the other restoration scroll? Any purchases?


Male Taldan Human Free-Hand Fighter/5 Inspired Blade Swashbuckler/1+5 | AC 22 T 16 FF 17 | HP 61/62 NL0| F +5 R +7 W +5 | Init +3| Perc +7

Rest up, then heal Dingus' head. He's creeping me out more than the Groom, these days. Then deposit the gold.


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Thats a second for rest, heal Dingus' noggin, then fling the gold at the vault.

I don't think Dibbs ever had his hands on the second scroll...

Jim leaves a big tip for the folks who have to clean up after the gang, then goes in search of the ginned-up oracle. "I seem to recollect you stashing the scroll in your sporran, mate. Let's get Dingus' screwed back on straight and then drop the gold off."

yeah, I second Jim's 'membrance. Mark can be forgiven for being a bit forgetful due to the venerable age he's reaching...

happy b-day and anniversary, old man.

I'm honestly surprised that people would trust Dibbs with something so valuable :P

And thanks for the well-wishes Cap'n

Lads - looks like there's a nice book coming out October time.


more importantly for me, it sounds like I'll be getting a pdf of the rough draft of the new Freeport book.

Huzzah!


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Noice Cap'n - how'd you wrangle that?

Keep an eye out for The Fragrant Breeze if ye do ;)


Kickstarter Freeport Update #37:

"Right now GR's graphic guru Hal Mangold is tightening up the files and working on art direction. Very soon now (likely next week), we'll have a PDF with all the book's content but sans art. Our plan is to release that PDF to you! You've been more than patient, so I thought you'd appreciate a look at the text. Getting more eyes on a book before it goes to print is always a good idea too. If we can tease out any errata beforehand, it'll make the finished book that much better."


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

*Looking meekly in the corner* - s'pose if I read the updates properly :P


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Found an item that Jimmer might like in the new Inner Sea Gods book:

Stagger-Proof Boots (Cayden Cailean)
Price 2,000 gp
Slot feet CL 5th Weight 1 lb.
Aura faint abjuration and transmutation
These calf-high leather boots are inscribed with Cayden Cailean’s holy symbol. The wearer can stand up from prone without provoking attacks of opportunity and gains a +4 bonus to CMD against bull rush and trip combat maneuvers. Once per day as an immediate action, the wearer can move up to 30 feet; this movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.

Grudge List, Grudge List, Grudge List!


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Did some searching back over the thread - just tossing 'em up to make easy to find em again:

First introduction to Dallian

Thresher Shark, Red Ayesha

Back at Finn's

So... do we want to play the dangerous game and try and double dip by getting Finn to pay us to off Dallian as well?

Dingus - I'd press now for that wand as well, get the magey guy to throw some weight for ye.

Perhaps I can trade the patch for a wand??? Or staff???

The less business we do with the short arses the better in my book, but... we're greedy basterds so if we can it might be fun :)


Male Halfling Oracle of Gozreh 6

Aye - must make all the monies then... forget we have da monies and never spend da monies.

Though realistically we should probably try and empty much of the vault before we go. Would be worth taking some cash in gems in case we need to splash some spending money?

Yeah it is ironic...

Load up on gems and trinkets of worth perhaps? Trade bars might be a good shout also...

Feel a shoppe-equip trip coming on...

We can also perhaps invest in some projects akin to yer boom-stick...???

Very nice! I haven't had a chance to do more than skim through it, but there's some good stuff in there. Inner Sea Combat has some interesting things as well, though on a purely cosmetic note I'm not that thrilled with the artwork.

Cap'n - any chance ye'd allow Dibbs to change out Instrument of Agony for the new spell from Inner Sea Gods below:

Gozreh's Trident:
School evocation [electricity]; Level cleric 2, druid 2, witch 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range 0 ft.
Effect trident-like bolt of electricity
Duration 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes
A 4-foot-long, blazing, forked bolt of electricity springs forth from your hand. You wield this spear-like bolt as if it were a trident (you are considered proficient with the bolt). Attacks with Gozreh’s trident are melee touch attacks. The bolt deals 1d8 points of electricity damage + 1 point per 2 caster levels (maximum +10). Since the bolt is immaterial, your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage. The bolt can ignite combustible materials such as parchment, straw, dry sticks, and cloth.

Will give Dibbs a combat option that doesn't rely on his boomstick or healing.
