Skull and Shackles (Inactive)

Game Master Mimesyne

A pirate themed, seafaring adventure filled with brigands who aim to swash every buckle and buckle every swash. There's probably at least one Jack Sparrow and maybe that cat-lady from Treasure Planet. All in all, it should be good times.

Don't wait on her and move on. Don't address her presence or absence on screen to leave all options open. There's no need to bot her, we'll just assume she's quietly along.

Agreed. The nice thing about being enslaved on a ship is that Esmarelda can be around but in the background. Since she said she'd be moving, I'd be hesitant to write her off yet - lots of problems could've cropped up.

You don't have to bot her and if there comes a time when it makes sense story-wise to write her off, it can be done then.

I'll have to check out Dundjinni. I'm always on the lookout for good and easy mapping tools.

My posts are getting eaten. I posted on Website Feedback for help but even that post was eaten. Don't know when I can post again, or even if this post will go through.

They're showing up, it's just taking a whiiiile. I think the Paizo servers are having trouble today. :\

Whew, was worried there for a while. I couldn't post anywhere at all, nothing showed up.

So, weirdly enough, Besmara's favored weapon is the rapier, not the cutlass. Inquisitors get weapon proficiency with their goddess' favorite weapon. But, since Cueta wasn't trained by the priesthood and rather called personally by her goddess, I can't see her having proficiency with it. I could see her having proficiency with the cutlass however, it being a common weapon among seamen.

Could I trade out the rapier prof for a cutlass prof, GM Besmara? Functionally, they're pretty similar weapons.

It is all moot right now because I can't afford either.

EDIT: also, I just realized Cueta can't use a sap effectively - no martial proficiency. Someone else want it?

I return!!! I am so sorry this took so long! I went with the self install option... Never again! But I'm back now and I just want to thank you all for being patient with me. You guys are just awesome. I shall begin to read what I have missed before I go to work today and post if I have time. If not the I shall post first thing tomorrow when I wake up. I'm so happy to be back!! ^_^

I've already made your rolls, but feel free to join in the rp. We are currently on two days of routine.

I'll move us along tomorrow night.


TN Female Human (Chelaxian) Bard (Negotiator) 3 | HP: 22/22 | AC: 15 (11 Tch, 14 Ff) | CMB: +3, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +4, W: +2 | Init: +1 | Perc: +5, SM: +7 | Speed 30ft | Spells: 1st 5/5 | Active conditions: None

Someone previously mentioned a list of crew members that haven't been made friendly yet. Such a list, or really any sort of list that gives even the vaguest indications of current attitudes, would be very helpful, in order to know who to target with influences.

If you have the time. Don't mean to stress you.


Wormwood Map

Ah yes, I had nearly forgotten about Artevious' request for that, too! Zzz. My bad. I'll set a reminder on my phone for this evening.

Okay, I don't know what is wrong with google right now, but for some reason it won't let me sigh in to see the documents. I can get into the Wormwood map and alter it but it won't let me sign in and get the documents.

Here's how the document stands at this very moment:

Green/chummy: Rosie, Grok, Owlbear, Crimson Cogward, Barefoot Samms, Ratline Rattsberg, Tilly Brackett, Badger Medlar

Yellow/middling: Conchobhar Shortstone, Giffer Tibs, Jack Scrimshaw, Shivkah, Aretta Bansion, Fishguts

Red/jerky: Fipps Chumlett, Jaundiced Jape, Maheem, Slippery Syl, Tam "Narwhal" Tate, Caulky Tarroon

Hopefully that will be of some help.

So my friend brought this up last night and I have to say that this only makes me love Stephen Fry even more. Thus I felt that I should share it with others! ^_^
Note: If you don't like Stephen Fry don't listen to this. I understand.

Just taking a moment while I'm lucid to say I am exceptionally ill today and probably unable to sit down and actually write a coherent post. Sorry.

Alright. Post incoming this evening when I get to my AP book. Again, sorry for the hold up.

Don't worry about it, life happens. A few breaks every now and then just gives us a breather.

Indeed. Take your time getting up to speed.

Esmarelda, I'm not familiar with Stephen Fry, but I quite enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear you're back! ^^

And no problem Cueta. Thought people would like it.


Wormwood Map

Post is up!

I apologize, I did end up skipping an event. It didn't seem like a good fit for the PBP format as it was going into one on one combat rounds between a single player and the GM. Feel free to read about the missed event in the spoiler below!

The Missed Event:

Risky Games in the Bilges
The PC whom Scourge hates the most (or a random PC, if no one particularly stands out) is assigned to the bilges to help pump them out. The other PCs are assigned tasks as normal, though no others are assigned to the bilges. On the way to the bilges, the PC bumps into Mr. Plugg and Master Scourge, who search the PC for hidden weapons and forcibly remove any the PC might have.

Creatures: Three characters man the pumps—the PC and two hostile Wormwood pirates. Each pirate carries a hidden dagger. The PC can make a DC 12 Perception check to spot the hidden weapons. After a few minutes, one of the pirates accuses the PC of slacking. The other pirate quickly joins in and attacks the PC, intending to kill the PC away from prying eyes and make it look like an accident.

Development: Keelhauling is the normal penalty for killing a member of the crew, but if they kill the PC, the pirates topple several barrels over the PC’s body, claiming the death was a terrible accident. If the PC kills the pirates and the deaths are discovered, the PC is locked in the sweatbox to await keelhauling on the following day. Fortunately for that PC, A THING HAPPENS THE NEXT DAY.

Working on a post now, deadlines were whupping me for the past day or two.


Wormwood Map

No worries. Gall's been busy with his finals. Top that off with the holiday season and I expect things to be slow for the next little while.

Also apparently Gall's not posting today either. I'll be putting up the next post regardless of if he posts or not between now and then.

Speaking of absences, I'll be moving at the end of December/beginning of January so I may have to take a break from the campaign at that time. Still a month off from that, but figured i ought to let you all now while I was thinking of it!


TN Female Human (Chelaxian) Bard (Negotiator) 3 | HP: 22/22 | AC: 15 (11 Tch, 14 Ff) | CMB: +3, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +4, W: +2 | Init: +1 | Perc: +5, SM: +7 | Speed 30ft | Spells: 1st 5/5 | Active conditions: None

Little breaks every now and then are good. I don't think I would have it in me to run a game with unbroken daily posting for three years running. Sanity comes first.

By the way, Cueta, working diligently adds the +4 to your Con check to avoid fatigue, too. So you wouldn't be fatigued today, anyway!

Botted for Esmarelda's Round 2 so we could move on.

Getting ready to post, but just saw something mentioned about leveling up. How did I miss that? Was it a large announcement? I'm not really sure.

I don't think it was a huge announcement so much as the GM going, "Whoops!" and realizing we'd hit that point.

Was at the top of my last Round Recap-New Round post in a spoiler dubbed "Good News Everyone!". I had just realized my notes about when you level were wrong. I had it set for the end of this fight, but the book was designed for you to be level 2 FOR this fight. So you didn't miss it ;D You'll be level two for your next post.

Apologies for being AWOL. It's been a busy week. Got a new job, found a new place (moving over Jan 2-3) and been Xmas shopping and party planning.

Realistically, I'm not going to post tonight (I'm wiped and a lil tipsy from the party), but I assure you a post is coming up tomorrow assuming my house doesn't opt to burn itself down in the night!

Congrats on the new job!

I'm going to be out of town with no internet access tomorrow - Thursday. Please bot Cueta as needed and I'll catch up Friday evening.

I figure Cueta will provide ranged support until everyone is across and then she'll maker her way to the enemy ship. When possible, she'll attack with her longbow and use her cures to help anyone out that needs it. She's got three cure light wounds to cast.


Wormwood Map

Excellent to know. I'll bot as such.

Artevious, I think you also have an AoO that you can take against one of the sailors that tried to jump into the launched jolly boat. Should be the one adjacent to the one Gall just slashed at, if I recall correctly.

I will be posting tomorrow, then again the day after, then will probably have a bit of a break over the 24th through to the 27th to account for the bustle of Christmas and Boxing Day (and then an extra day to recover from it all lol).

Woo, holidays. GM Besmara says that she should be back to the usual posting rate soon, now that things are starting to slowly settle down again. Sorry for the delay, folks.

No apologies necessary for my part, having some time off has been wonderful in this busy period.

Sorry for the continued delay. As I mentioned before I moved over the new year weekend. And now I've started my new job and I'm trying to figure out my schedule and how to fit everything in! With luck, I'll have things shoved into place in the next couple days.

Esmarelda has asked me to come take a look at this thread to see if I can resurrect it.

My schedule has been tight lately so an everyday update is not realistic, do the players have an interest in continuing?

Hi Storyteller Shadow. I'd be interested for sure. I've started running a game of my own and had another resurrected since this one went dormant, so it probably is best for me to not have an everyday update as well.

Thanks for the offer!
