Tully is the only one who beat Owlbear, which is why the rest of you can't benefit from that. All of the crew are impressed by his abilities in combat, regardless of whether he actually is the best at it. Lol, it's like prison, you find the biggest guy on the cell block and beat him down to show the other cons whose boss.

Verily, I art thou pater familius.

@DM: Oops. I really had no intention of pushing Plugg over the railing. Sandra was just calling Plugg away from Ko'ulu so he got a breather, instead of a constant game of pin-pong between him and Scourge.

I was trying to figure out how she could help him with being a messenger, and distracting someone so Ko'ulu could get a break was the best that I could come up with.

It's all good. I figured it wasn't something nefarious or anything, it was just the way it read I suddenly wondered if I was going to have a PC keelhauled lol.

Well, hopefully Fishguts won't be too offended by Xanxan, even if he's not going to particularly care.

Query. Ratline was moved from Indifferent to Friendly rather than Helpful, correct?

Also, it looks like Conchobar has a high Charisma since Callum's near max roll required the extra +2. Careful with that one guys.

Nope, Ratling went from Indifferent to Helpful. Xanxan beat the DC by enough to jump two steps.

Gnomes are naturally endearing little bastages

Case in point (ok, the Charmer Talent helps)

Oh, Didn't realize that was possible. Of course it is with the diplomacy rules. Didn't think it through, lol.

Well done on that one Xanxan. Not so much on the Kroop deal though, lol.

:) yeah, Fishguts either won't like him or won't care at this rate. Tully's tried, Xanxan's tried.
It could be someone else's turn though at this point, Xanxan is tempted to find a way to water down the rum for the whole crew and see what a few days of sobriety do to them

Yeah, Fishguts seems to be a tough nut to crack! He's probably not supposed to be especially hard to win over, but the dice have decreed...

Callum gave it the ol' college try. He was getting extremely tired of the bad food (no offence Tully). Took the rum to get some bonus. Guess he might not have needed it (unless Kroop has less than 10 charisma), but at least it might have undone some of the damage.

Good thing Callum didn't fight Owlbear! He's practically got the crew soiling their pants as it is!

He was getting extremely tired of the bad food (no offence Tully).

None taken. There is no doubt that I have failed to cook a decent meal since I woke up on this tub. The really hilarious part of this is that, IRL, I run a restaurant! Profession (General Manager) Check: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Edit: 19, nice!

Doubt Cal could've taken Owlbear so easily, especially since he was fatigued (I did think about stepping up but then remembered the fatigue and was like 'forget that, let someone fresh who is either stronger or faster do it'. Must be getting old).

Nice roll, lol. Looks like you make for a good restaurant manager even without any bonuses, lol.

I'm gonna invent Tengu Haggis...rat meat stuffed in fish stuffed in a giant maggot. Yum...

Well, EVERYONE wants a chat with Fishguts :)

Everyone is getting a little sick of Tully's "cooking"! ;-p

Question, are we allowed to take ten on these actions? I never asked before

No, you have to make the check. It represents a full day of work.

Could Calvin cast CLW on Callum during the day to heal up some of the damage he received on the fall? Would that need to be his ship action for the day? I assume if he was on the deck and saw him fall, he'd move over to help out the Hat man.

Yeah, you can cast it. A standard action spell amidst an entire day of activity isn't enough to warrant a full Ship Action. Post your dice roll and I'll update the campaign tab from there.

Oops. Misread the stuff about falling. Ouch, that hurt.

Campaign tab updated with healing.

Yep, Ko'ulu isn't being sneaky with the rum at all.

Oops. I think my edit and action crosss posted with your response, DM. I thought he failed, natural one despite the +9 bonus... but if you're feeling merciful I'm all for that and will gladly take it :)

Usually for me, Nat 1's are only auto-fails in Combat. Occassionally skill checks might be involved but it's a rare instance. So even though you nearly botched it, you managed to get your job done.

Ok. Good to know. Xanxan has had some weird die rolls at the oddest times.

Jirobo is now officially crushing on Sandara.

Dangit! You stole my plot hook! I was going to wait until Callum made a move on her, then have all the misery and pangs of unrequited teenage love. Mostly as an excuse to talk bad about Callum ;-) Now I have to come up with a new plan!!!

You guys do realize Xanxan saw her first? ;)

You guys obviously haven't seen Howard the Duck. Girls are unable to overcome their natural attraction to short, soft, feathery avian gentlemen. I'm sure there will be other nice pirate wenches to go around.. in time. (Especially that Tessa....*whistle* one hot little Calistra worshipper there.)

Girls are unable to overcome their natural attraction to short,

If we cut it off right there, my gnome has a chance!

Callum is married to piracy and the sea. That being said, since you can't, in reality, actually marry the sea or piracy, a Cleric of Besmara is the next best thing.

Anyhow, there's plenty of ladies of different sizes to go around, most of them are friendly (or helpful): Samms, Badger (needs some work), Rosie, and Grok. And if you want to dip into the officer's pool there's Patch and Peppery.

And I'm sure a bit longer on this ship without landfall, some of the rats will start looking good.

You have no idea of the razor sharp, scathing darts that will be let loose from within Tully's inner-monologue...

I still think Xan has a shot at miss quinn, after all "Once you go gnome, you can never go home" :)

Bah! She's obviously a cougar. Tully's in...

I still think Xan has a shot at miss quinn, after all "Once you go gnome, you can never go home" :)

I thought it was, "Once you go gnome, you are covered in foam." Maybe that's just Dragonlance gnomes...

Ah-ha, got one for Jirobo, "Once you go bird, well it's the word."

Hit it Peter! Bird bird bird, bird is the word!

Well there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.

Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

But, I had thought that "Grease" was the word...? It has groove, it has meaning...

Hmm. I think Jirobo might have it. Or more likely Tobias has it. For indeed, I have heard. I have heard that the bird is most definitely the word.

The bird is definately the word. Just got three 8s in a row on heals. Nice...

Very nice.

I just hope Xanxan has won Badger over with his day action.

EDIT: Woops. Missed that bit about getting her to friendly. :) Yay. We're getting allies (or at least fewer folks who want to kick our collective ###ses)

Wow, Tully, nice rolling. With those bonuses and rolls you could probably crack those tougher nuts (like Conch or Tate) and turn them to Helpful in one roll, lol.

I'm standing on your shoulders for this one Callum. You got him to indifferent, and discovered his "Angle". I thought about going after Narwhal again (and maybe should have with that roll), but decided to try to win allies before trying to convert enemies.

But, Xan is right. We're becoming quite the popular clique in our little schoolyard. Now... Who get's the Homecoming Queen...?

FYI: I hope it's the preppy kid... [/fingerscrossed]

I agree. We can lock up the ones that are now the "low-hanging fruit" as it were and then concentrate on winning those really difficult ones.

Running low on the unfriendly/hostile folks, although I guess we haven't met the entire crew. I don't recall seeing Fipps on the board before.

Yeah. Pretty soon we need to really spend some time searching the ship. We've been pretty reluctant to do that, so far. Xanxan, may I introduce you to my friend the Owlbear? And show you this lovely set of stairs leading up to the officers quarters that lies behind him? ;-)

Oh sure, send the rogue to die as he tries stealthing around...

*reads up on class* Oh, that's pretty much the job description, isn't it?

Just remember not to wear your Whale costume if you go messing around the O Club. They like to chuck harpoons at your chest!

Don't forget the wisecracking...

*reads Xan's previous posts* Okay, you're good.

You guys have been a rather timid group of pirates. No drinking, early to bed, working hard. Geez, what a bunch of squares lol. ;-)

Granted as Jirobo demonstrated, poking around has its risks. The ship is a very organic beast, in the sense that it isn't all completely low level friendly. Certain things you can handle, certain things you can't. You've all actually done a good job so far of figuring out what is and isn't in your capability range.

Xanxan post is up. This where I hope the stuff the others may have told him gives him a bonus.

Good stealth roll though. :)
