Sure I would love a description for master at arms.

Esmarelda is a merchant's daughter. Give her quartermaster and watch her flurish. Plus it's kinda the only thing she'd be able to do.

Hope you understand, Aq, but you have to realize that a captain has to deal with someone who won't acknowledge his authority.
Aqguazula |
Remember, captain goes down with his ship. Aq will see to it if you sink us. ;)
Cueta Guiding Star |
Bosun would be a good fit for Cueta, or master gunner.
Work is being mean and expecting me to do things like, work, a lot, at the moment. I hope to get caught up on things tomorrow/Friday.

Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to status.
Of course if people feel the need to ask other questions outside of PbP feel free to do so but mainly this will be a thread dedicated to ensuring that my PCs know my status and to assure everyone that even though I may have some absences away from the boards (or particular games) that new thread will always be up to date with my status.

The Current Crew:
Foes All Unconscious - Maheem, Slippery Syl Lonegan, Tam 'Narwhal' Tat.
Allies - Gall, Owlbear Hartshorn, Ambrose Kroop, Conchobhar Shortstone, and Sandara Quinn.
Unfriendly Crew - Paul Webb, Duugless Sauckel, Traian Bundi.
Rahadoumi Sailors - Thur Rahmen, Nax Dancks.
Obviously not including PCs!

The Rest of the Ship Positions:
Captain: The ultimate authority on any ship, his word is law to all on board. The captain chooses where to sail, what to plunder, and who fills the other stations aboard the vessel, among many other command decisions. Leadership often proves perilous, however, as a captain is, above all, meant to secure success for his ship and crew. Failing to do so increases the threat of mutiny.
Cook: While the quartermaster normally allocates the rations, the cook and his apprentices make and distribute meals to the crew. Although some better-outfitted vessels employ skilled cooks to attend to the captain and the officers, many cooks are drawn from crew members who have suffered crippling injuries, allowing them to still serve even after such trauma.
Master-at-Arms: Concerned with the security of the ship, the fitness of the crew, and the dispensing of justice, the master-at-arms typically is one of the most feared and dreaded of a ship’s officers.
DM Praedonum |
Excellent RP folks!
I will let things continue to unfold as to what to do with the prisoners as there has been no resolution there as of yet. Once that is established, I will give the full accounting of treasure - treasure increases if you off those three or two or one of them. :-)
Eriziel "Rizz" Aleson |
Hmm.....Rizz swinging around the ships with ropes or Rizz literally gnawing on folks heads to make them work harder....
Eh, Rizz isn't really 'mean' so I guess I'll stick to the rigging.

Who are Thur Rahmen, Nax Dancks, and Paul Webb, Duugless Sauckel, Traian Bundi?
I want to befriend them and make them part of my work force so to speak.
Harmony Leading |
I will be traveling for two weeks Aug 10-25. I may post during that time but nothing is certain, so please do not wait on me during that time and bot me as necessary.
Aqguazula |
That be so, but they will care for my brawn. Depending how this go, I might be a selfish self buff cleric anyways. Depending on how you treat Aq. :P

Art has the first two right.
The next three are pirates who were on Harrigan's ship but came over to the Man's Promise when the crews were split. While unfriendly towards the PCs they had no true bone to pick and opted out of the fighting thus were below decks or in cabins awaiting the resolution of the battle when the final scene of Book I played out.
DM Praedonum |
I am going to update the Campaign Info tab with Roles, Crew, and Treasure. I'll give more detailed descriptions of the crew on my next batch of posts!
Aqguazula |
Praedonum, could you elaborate the difference between dispensing of justice for the master-at-arms and dispensing punishment for the Bosun?
DM Praedonum |

I'd say dispensing punishment is for the failure to conduct oneself properly on the ship - failure of duty.
Dispensing Justice is the resolution of disputes between crew members. Also, if the Captain carries out an order that requires someone to slay or otherwise perpetrate an act against a crew member, unless otherwise ordered by the Captain, the Master at Arms is the default crew member to carry the order out.

My question on if I needed to make a roll for taking stock of our stores was never answered dear GM.

Nope, assume you have enough food and water to get to the next port.
DM Praedonum |
And I was hoping to find out where we're going next.
I'll post IC on that later tonight!
Aqguazula |
I can make more water than the gods themselves.
Cueta Guiding Star |
I've been traveling, thought I would have time to post, was wrong. I'll be back in the swing of things tomorrow.
DM Praedonum |
OK, I'll continue to push us forward once I have confirmation from the Captain as to where to head next :-)
Cueta Guiding Star |
I'm in the path of Harvey (southern end of the storm, not a direct hit). If I'm incommunicado these next few days, I'm internetless. Please bot if needed.
Harmony Leading |
Back to regular availability. Will read up what I missed and put up a post sometime today.
P.S. Hope you didn't take too much dmg from Harvey, Cueta! It looks pretty dramatic over there!
Aqguazula |
I'm back from my eastern Canadian camping trip.
This is for all Storyteller games.

The drama is to the north of me, thankfully (for me anyways).
Esmarelda Valarie |
Sorry I've been a bit less active lately, my mom had back surgery and I've mostly been taking care of her because well... I don't trust my stepdad to do it. He's just not good with that kind of thing.
Hope everything is going well Cueta, or at least as well as it can be.
DM Praedonum |
No worries TK real life comes first. Hope your mom is feeling better soon. I will get this ship back on course [:-)] in the next few days.
Artevious de Poisson |
Yes, I know. My handle is Stalwart, and I'm suggesting the name for the ship be The Stalwart Worthy. It's not vanity, but a name I thought of that would be perfect for the character of Artevious. Feel free to come up with something better!
Aqguazula |
I will think of something.
DM Praedonum |
For now the Nameless Ship it will remain, you have time to name it.
I'll have a post up tonight, latest tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, RL was somewhat bothersome this week just when I didn't need it to be.

Actually harmony, he looks identical to other aquatic elves. Albeit with an extra set of arms, sharp teeth and a slight primordial look(thicker scaling than most aquatic elves.)
Most of his looks are easily explained by his primordial mystery which changes him as he gains power rather than what he actually is.
Don't let my profile picture convince you otherwise, he doesn't look like that yet, eventually.

The pic threw me off at first too ;-)
Aqguazula |
Sadly the picture selection is, limited. This is the best for now I'm afraid. Now if I could get a ring of alter self, tying would get interesting.
Besides, let's keep the mystery of what Aq is shrouded for now. It makes for better story or until someone puzzles the pieces and or gets the right knowledge.
Harmony Leading |

Oh I thought from your post that he had four arms.
Aqguazula |
He does, aside from that he looks like a normal aquatic elf. Not some sea monster or creature from the black lagoon.

Hi guys. Bad depression flareup kicked my ass and made me withdraw from society since my last post. Still not fully recovered. I'd like to give it one more week before trying to get back in the game. If you guys cannot wait and need to replace me, I fully understand. I'm sorry either way.

No worries RL comes first, I've been sick and barely able to post anyway.
Feel better and we'll see you soon!
