Aoro Osris |
Aoro is working, I guess I forgot to add the +4 so it should be a result for cooking 18 not 14. He is not going to risk the lash for anything right now. ;)
Aoro gives the foul man a look.
"If my work suffer's for it I'll be sure to tell the captain you felt a overgrown rat down in the bilges was more important then his dinner."
He half wished he could place the blame on those two should his cooking not be up to the Captain's taste. Etheir way he would win, make the scum sweat or have the Captain tan their hides for a change. He felt pretty good about that.

Duo notices Miss Sunny sitting on her rump and the few words she says.
walking over he helps her up (a cure spell miked in) and then "asks" if she needs Duo to use another cure spell on her.

'Sunny' |
Sunny isn't 'sitting' on anything. She's taken a possibly bad fall from the rigging. Other than NOT being a red smear upon the deck, perhaps she missed and ended up in the ocean instead? DM's call on that, though.
Sunny lies, dazed where she's come to rest.
"It hurts..." She says again faintly to Duo... ),:

Wouldn't be the first time a character death got hand waved. (Mine)
'Sunny' |
Aye, well, worst comes to worst, she has no worries about falling over board. Though, since she was aiming for the deck. :P
Didn't plan on her face planting there, though.
While we awaiting further Dm adjudication.
Sunny whimpers softly and groans quietly, even as she is comforted in Lanliss' arms and under the healing touch of Duo.

Day 4
Daytime - Trouble in the Bilges
Day 3
Nighttime
You continue to speak with Sandara for a time about her goddess. In addition to mentioning something about the Code, she notes that the Goddess' flag is the skull n' crossbones of the jolly roger, similar to her holy symbol, and her ship is the Seawraith. Sandara will yawn, stretch and smile, reply with a "Anytime, Duo" and wander off to her hammock.
Sunny attempts to swing down from the rigging, when the rope she's holding suddenly comes apart. There is no snap, just a sudden feeling of weightlessness and she's flying free through the rigging.
Also, the job you were assigned is mainly on the deck. The Mainsail Duties, Rope Work, and Line Work Rigger jobs take place mainly on the deck of the ship. There's no real way to know this from Apeture's descriptions, so you had no way of knowing. I'll make changes to the Campaign Notes page once I get control of the threads.
She attempts to grab ahold of a rope in the rigging as she falls, but it simply slides through her fingers, leaving a nasty rope burn behind. Sunny plummets the remaining distance, before striking the deck hard, shoulder first, then with her head, and skids a short distance to a stop. The entire thing takes less than a couple of seconds, with her stop adding another few.
Sunny's Falling Damage from 10 feet up: 1d6 ⇒ 6
She has a few moments of consciousness before Lanliss scoops her up, Sunny blacking out after being forced to her feet. Lanliss supports her while Duo comes running up and casting a healing spell, the pain subsiding somewhat, returning her to consciousness. Lanliss and Duo can actually hear the noise of bones being reset.
From behind Mr. Plugg, you all can hear laughter, that of Master Scourge. "Well, if that ain't a sight?! That's what you get for tryin' to swing round like that!" He guffaws a few more times before Plugg cuts him off with a curt gesture. Plugg walks over to where the three are. "Get in line, NOW!" His face turns red as he yells the last word.
Mr. Plugg angrily gives his explanation to the group about what he wants them to do. See my last post, the last paragraph. Alestone asks about getting armed with daggers. Plugg looks at him, annoyed, and then points at a belaying pin stuck in a holder around the mast. "Grab a belaying pin and use it to crush the things in the hold. I'm not giving you real weapons for free." His face grows red again at the words of Aoro. "You'll do exactly what I say and either do it well, or be spending time with Master Scourge. Now, my patience is at an end. Get below, damn it!"
Edit: Forgot to mention. The belaying pins count as clubs.
Lanliss Rainscribe |
Day 4 -Continued
Continues to support Sunny all the way down the stairs to below deck and then slowly rests her on the wall, and then takes off his shirt and places it over her head. I also grab two of the Belaying pins one for me and one for Sunny.
Whispering in her ear"There now you will not be that much more of a distraction towards me"
If Aoro can get our weapons from Grok then I will take my weapon back and use that instead
please see Discussion about upcoming thing
Herbert Degrasse |
Day-4 Rat Catching
Herbert prepares himself for some unpleasant work. Rats...yuck, yet better than disease or lack of food. At least I'll have some company.
Looking directly at Duo, Herbert speaks,
"What's your story Duo? Well, besides the obvious crush on Sandara."
Herbert smiles at Duo, then frowns at the rat carcass being swallowed by the mouth of his rat-catching sack.
"I'm convinced this is my payment for losing my family's business. I deserve it, but I don't like it. This ship has crushed what little hope I had mustered. I'm not sure how much more I can take. Maybe it's being weary that speaks, but I feel it in my bones. The Wormwood and her crew own a piece of each of us."
Herbert looks up to see of Duo moving away from him rapidly.
Okay, I think i'm with it. Sorry 'bout edits
'Sunny' |
Much heart felt thanks to DM Bound Shade for not having Sunny become a lot thinner/flatter! *HUGZ* (^_^)
Sunny makes little to no sound as Lanliss leads her away, though her soft, whimpering noises subside as Duo heals the wounds from her fall.
Even as Lanliss drapes some cloth about her, Sunny seems unresponsive, though there is enough control that she grips the belaying pin thrust into her hand and does not let the implement drop.
As the group move down towards the bilges, Sunny simply stumbles along, being lead by those about her.
Lanliss Rainscribe |
Continues to Support Sunny all the way down to the bilges in his arms. making sure that she is taken care of the whole time trying to keep her upright.
DM Bound Shade |
No fatgiue check is needed. I screwed up on that earlier with Duo. Catching rats is relatively easy, considering the other work that people have been put to.
I need to head to bed for tomorrow. I'll post what you find in the bilges tomorrow after work (appprox. 5pm EST). Yes, I'll be providing a map.

Day 4
Daytime - Trouble in the Bilges
You all make your way down into the bilges. The place is a reeking, wet, muck-ridden mess. Bits of debris mix in the water, likely from the disused and discarded remains of boxes and bundles of rotten goods. It is difficult to move in most of this place. The entirety of the bilges is difficult terrain.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Please make a Perception check. If you wish to move around in the Bilges, please let me know which square you wish to move to. Please keep your actions to 1 combat round's worth of actions.

Alestone will trudge forward, trying to keep his splashing to a minimum while giving advice to his fellows.
"Keep yer wits about ye and don't panic, flailin' 'round like a fishy 'twill only get us 'urt. Anybody got any idea what we're lookin' fer down 'ere anyway? Serpent, rat, ghost?"

Day 4
Daytime - Trouble in the Bilges
Aoro, this is for everyone, but since you readied an action, it pertains to you here. Please be more specific what action you are readying and what the trigger condition is. Readied action to cast a spell upon being attacked is more what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to call you out. I'm just trying to let everyone know. This is just how I like to run things, but you couldn't have known that beforehand.
Generally speaking, I don't allow special initiative actions before combat. I've found that it screws with initiative badly and makes combat very wonky. Again, another thing that no one could've known.

Alestone and Sunny both spot the rats hiding in the murky water before they attack. The rats are the size of small dogs, although they're barely visible beneath the murky water of the bilges. The rats are looking directly at the group and have started moving towards everyone.

Day 4
Daytime - Trouble in the Bilges
The rats are swimming in the water in the bilges and seemed to be mostly submerged. The murkiness of the bilge water gives them concealment. I meant to mention this last post. *sigh* Also, please don't forget that the bilges are difficult terrain for everyone.
Surprise Round
Wormwood Bilges Surprise Round
The rats surge forward in the bilge water, striking out at those in the front. Two try to bite Alestone, one tries to bite Lanliss, and a third attempts to bite Sunny. The last one waits in the back, unseen by anyone but Alestone and Sunny. Alestone and Lanliss are flat-footed against these attacks.
Alestone
Rat #2 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 vs 14 Hit
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Rat #3 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 vs 14 Hit

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Sunny
Rat #5 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 vs 14 Hit
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
All of the rats' teeth find purchase. They snap shut, inflicting small, but filthy and bleeding wounds. Another rat swims forward, around Alestone, to get to him. However, only Alestone and Sunny are aware of this rat.

It's Alestone's go. I'm going to run into the next round, assuming you don't interrupt someone else's actions.
Round 1
Unless Alestone's action significantly modifies the battlefield, use the same map as before. Otherwise, I'll try to post a new one.

Duo Skybreaker |
Duo watches in mild amusement as chaos erupts. His amusement quickly ends however, as the rats seem to be quickly getting an upper hand.
Selective Channel Positive Energy (That is if I can see the rats that attacked the group.) Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Aoro Osris |
Standerd: Magic Missile at Rat 2
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Move: Draw Dagger
Aoro takes in the picture, he thought it best not to hold back until the numbers were more favorable. With a flick of his wrist a small glowing fish darts around everyone to slam into a rat. He draws a dagger in case any get to close.

I am going to do my best at hitting at rat that is closest to me

I try to perform a fancy move to try to impress Sunny but all it looks like I do is fumble and embarrass myself horriblely
'Sunny' |
As the rat clamps its jaws shut on Sunny. (Arm? Leg? DM's other approved piece of anatomy) Sunny makes not a sound, but glares at the rodent of remarkable size, staring balefully into its large -beady black eye.
"You done picked th' completely wrong day t'mess with me..." She growls at the beast, even as she simply wraps her arms around said obnoxious rodent.
CMD Check:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 (+3+1 from bard singing)
And then simply pulls the pair of them beneath the turgid waters.
I be ready fer this, I bet th' furry lil' bugger in't expectin' it though. >:) Sunny be in a baaad mood!
Assumin' all goes well? Count off one rat! >:)

Day 4
Daytime - Trouble in the Bilges
Surprise Round
Alestone focuses his wrath on the rat and the hard blow knocks the rat into the wall, dealing it a severe blow.
Round 1
Herbert swings at the rat in front of him, but misses, the swing going wild. Duo channels forth the power latent within him, healing energy washing over the group. I assume that you choose to keep Rat #3 out of the channel, as it is the only wounded rat. The bolt that Aoro conjured leaves the rat in dire condition and it looks back away from the group. Rat #2 is disabled. Lanliss swings at the rat, missing, and then steps out of their reach. Sunny wraps her arms around the rat, it's teeth pulling free of her. She earns a snap of it's teeth for the attempt.
Sunny
Rat's Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 vs AC 14 Miss
She manages to grab the rat without getting bit and then pulls it under the water, the both of them disappearing into the filth. Normally such an action would be a trip combat manuever, but the description seemed cool, so I'm good with it. Both Sunny and Rat #5 are prone as well as grappled. They both gain total concealment again everyone but each other as long as the grapple is maintained, although everyone knows the sqaure they're in due to them thrashing about.
The rat that Aoro's bolt of force struck attempts to weakly swim away from him, leaving itself open. Meanwhile, one of the rats in the back surges forward into the area that Lanliss had occupied. Alestone you can make an attack of opportunity against either Rat #3 or Rat #6. The rats strike out at various opponents.
Herbert
Rat #1 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 vs AC 15 Miss
Alestone
Rat #3 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 vs AC 16 Miss
Rat #4 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 vs AC 16 Hit
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Assuming that it doesn't die to an AoO:
Rat #6 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 vs AC 16 Miss
The rat that Sunny has grappled will try to break free.
Sunny
Rat #5 Escape Artist Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 vs CMD 17 Fail
However much the rat struggles, though, it cannot seem to break free of Sunny's iron grip.
Alestone's go at the end of Round 1, followed by the rest of the party at the start of Round 2. Please declare your actions.
Aoro Osris |
Standerd:Acid Splash vs Rat 1
RTA 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 vs touch
ADmg 1d3 ⇒ 3
Seeing his first spell hit hard, Aoro chooses to be a bit more reserved with his next one. Willing a ball of magical acid to appear in his free hand he tosses it at another rat.
'Sunny' |
>:) Bye, bye rat-y!
Round 2:
I'm not sure, but is it a free action to simply just hold on and maintain a grapple?
Any who, CMD Check:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Rat-y shouldn't be long fer this world now. >:) First round under it's panicked. Second round under it should be squealin'/blowin' bubbles. Third round under it should be pinin' fer the fjords. :P

"Well dun so far laddies, keep it up and we'll be back outa dis hole in no time."
Alestone will keep his legs still as to minimize the splashing around him and waits for an opening to try and crush the rat in front of him with a downward smash of his left fist.
Alestone's fist goes wide of a rat and he loses his balance for a moment and gets a face full of bilge water before recovering, the only thing being damaged by his attack, the sanitation of his beard.
