[PFS] Murder on the Throaty Mermaid (Inactive)

Game Master Curaigh

Thanks again for your patience everyone. Because I spend so much time on the computer during the day I avoid turning it on at home. Internet especially gets ignored, so posting the weekend (S & M) is usually pretty slow for me.

Also, if you haven't seen there will be a PBP game day starting in April.

Yup. And no problem
On the games day... maybe want to make a gnome paladin...

Guess that would be a great time to advance this character after this is over.

Lizzy I keep meaning to answer this in character, but yes they will. 'Entertaining' the crew has a very different meaning for these scallywags though....

Thanks to everyone for your patience.

I have been lurking through my phone & will get an update done tonight, but it will be late.

Hmm, i should have rephrased that, slipped my mind sailors would see that word differently. :P

Sorry to bust your RP post asking

No apology needed, I just didn't get it done IC and dinnae want you to think I was ignoring you. :)

Out for the weekend. Will be back on Sunday. But I don’t know how reception will be where we are heading. Will catch up if I can. Bot/NPC my character if needed

Bot/NPC my character if needed

I'll use him as my meat shield!

Dylara.....those unexpected situations make the rp and such more fun :)

Hahaha, Beads sure seemed to be walking into a "situation" there for a bit.

Indeed! I love the interaction and humor in roleplaying :)

I recruited most of you from Utopia's S&S campaign, but is anyone planning to take this character into PBP Gameday 2?

Not right now, I'm taking other characters in.

Don't know. Perhaps so, this is Beads' first adventure after all.

I'm already in a couple Game Day scenarios with other characters, but when The Throaty Mermaid ends I'll be searching for another game Dylara may enter :)

Utopia's S&S campaign I started with another character, who's still stuck there for now.

At the moment I dont know

I'm not doing anything else with Branson

Woohoo! Combat! Let's smoke some sea elves! Show me what a Magus can do Malleck!!!

Thats the plan!

I see in the "Characters" tab, there is a "Previous Characters" list, that one of the GM's characters is listed there. Presumably you inadvertantly posted with the wrong alias. How do I move Zahir to that list?

I probably posted it as an example. I can edit the campaign, not sure if a player can.

GM, you mentioned me and Dylara having rolls on perception....so... where? :)

Beginning of the thread :)

Can Dylara and Melon do more this round? Dylara picked up her weapons and moves to the door. So those are a standard and a move action. Melon has only moved. If Dylara orders her to attack the, will Melon be able to force it open with strength? (That'll save an action for Dylara next round.)

The round you wake, you have a move action left. The door is open as Branson opened it on his way through.

EDIT after seeing game thread: Picking up a weapon is a move action and so is Handle Animal. Dylara's arming herself is a move action. Melon moves through the door as his(her?) move action. In R5 everyone will have a full action (well except Malleck who has been staggered).

Prior to 6th level, Staggered just isn't as scary.

With the door open there's no need for the Handle Animal check. Melon will follow on her own, wanting to protect Dylara.

That works for me :)

I am moving the previous round summary to the discussion thread to reduce clutter in the game thread. FYI I am treating the 'I just woke up as a readied action' (even though you only had a move left), but because of their high initiative rolls Dylara & Beads get a regular round in Round 5 before the elves. Beads did you arm yourself?

Do the round spoilers work for everyone? Any confusion I can help clear up?

R4 summary
Malleck (20): misses the elf
4x Green elves (13): attack Malleck
Branson (4): uses the wand on Malleck
Traceni (2): enchants an elf
Dylara, Melon, Beads: Move into the fray.

If your AC has changed because of sleeping conditions please make a note for me here. Thank you. :)

Branson has not used a wand yet. He has one, but he has "converted" a spell, and used his domain spell slot so far.

Also, Branson's AC is down 1 for lack of shield.

Traceni is not wearing her armor nor carrying her shield and presently has an AC of 14 (also a touch AC of 14).

For some reason, Hero Lab had me down as having a domain spell other than from the healing domain, which can't be! I fixed it, and reloaded my profile! All better now!

FWIW: Some of you are doing this already, but some are new to PbP so I am going to state it. I am ok with everyone in the first group (Dylara, Melon, Malleck) going before or after each other. This way no single person has to wait on another person's posting schedule. After I post the critters action for the round I ask the the people in the second group post before the people in the first group start the next round.

R5 summary
Dylara (21): loads crossbow, handles animal, shoots crossbow (EDIT: missed free action for AniComp)
Melon (21): misses elf
Malleck (20): kills an elf
Beads (15): dazes elf (marked with stars on the map)
2x Green elves (13): miss target
1x ex-elf (13)*: 1d20 ⇒ 11
elf (13)*: dazed
Branson (4): heals Malleck
Traceni (2): attempts to charm elf

GM, with the diplomacy rolls, do you want rolls for every "generic crew member"? Or can we roll several checks for the generic nameless crew?

All the crew has a name, its a small crew. When you ask a person a question or more include a roll. If others want to aid, they can also roll. Sounds like starting by questioning Killick. Ask away.

So this is my first time playing this character, and she's even freakier than I expected.

It was so funny when you took Killick's money and he freaked out. Traceni's awesome!

Sometimes, you just gotta hit a man where he feels it.

lol, well played :) one of my favorites was 'has anyone seen the land?'

You will notice that Branson too is a bit freaked out by Traceni!

I have updated the campaign info to include the folks you met at dinner the first night.

I also updated the map and changed it's name. I am running two other PBP & will be adding their maps soon, so I hope this will be less confusing.

Diplomacy requires a full minute of interaction. In that time many compliments, questions, comments, and such are exchanged. Only one roll is needed per person, not per question. In the case of the multiple rolls I have been ignore anything beyond the first. However when the Captain was in the same room as Azuretta, I did take the next diplomacy roll that was provided as a diplomacy with him.

I hope that is less confusing for everyone :)

Branson, Malleck are you still with us? I assume you will follow Traceni's lead to speak with Ulamon and am moving on accordingly.

to everyone if you know you will not post for a couple of days, please mention it here. If you are still checking in but dinnae have anything to add to the conversation, please just bump the thread with something in character. It doesn't have to be every day in this case, but if you have missed a couple & are still following please run your fingers through your beard, mutter a prayer, or spark your fingers just for the joy of seeing flames.

Might be time to bump S&S thread too.

Thanks

I'm absolutely here! What S&S thread?

Skulls & Shackles. Pirate AP

Ahhhh, right, you guys were playing a S&S game before this module.

Yah. Here. My hdd failed over weekend. Hope to get pc back today. Posting from phone
