Estelle lets out a huge laugh, smile getting wider.
"Ye be a funny one there Rosie. Lets get a drink and maybe I will be hearing that music o' yers better."
Estelle puts her arm around Rosie and Walks her off to the bar.
Lito de'Anora |
In that case, are there any local areas where you know Sahaguin to live?
If they attacked here once, they may do so again, and I would rather fight them on our terms then on theirs.
Lito de'Anora |
hmmm... I assume you don't like that situation, correct?
If not we need to come up with a long term solution that gives you far more freedom.
Lady Agasta Smythee__ |
"YOU are the solution to that situation. I'm fine sitting here on my nice little castle. I've been here for decades. It's the fact that I had no means to reach out from here." she replies. She takes her glass of wine from the sideboard wher eshe put it for the fight and takes a sip.
"You'll get a list of things we need and can't make ourself every time you anchor here and I'll tell you what ails me when we're in private. And then you decide what to do about that."
Lito de'Anora |
Well yes, for now we can reach out from here, but longer term we would want to grant you more guards so you can control the local area even when we aren't here.
Lito de'Anora |
He slides his hands around her waist and says:
Rich in charm and laughter? Sure.
Money...Sadly no... but if we both work this right, this partnership will make us both rich.
Lito de'Anora |
Then he leans down and kisses her deeply before whispering:
Yes, someplace private, would probably be good.
Besmara __ |
"Let us go in. There is a buffet that needs eating and out here are only cold dead fish." Besmara tells and enters the tower. As she comes into the dining room and sees Lady Agasta with Lito her frustration grows.
She takes a seat with Rosie, Estelle and Owlbear. "Give your Captain a drink. I don't wanna be the last one sober."
Estelle Numbduster |
Estelle plunks down beside Trytton, looking at his neck but not touching.
"Sos them there gills allow ye to breath under water and the air? Hows do I gets me a pair?" Estelle is pretty drunk
Besmara __ |
Besmara slides her seat closer to Trytton. "That's pretty simple. Ye find a fish that is large enough, or that fishmen we fought. Then ye cut off the gills and put them on yer neck and bind them inta place. Then ye wait a day ta see if they grow onto yer neck. Et voila, water breathing. Wanna try? I'll help ya."
Lady Agasta Smythee__ |
Couldn't post yesterday because paizo was out and just now I found the copy of the post reminding me.
Agasta leads Lito to her room which is next to the dining room. Her room is the most spacious one in the castle and holds the only true fireplace, a peatburning affair that is rarely lit in these tropical climes. A comfortable but sagging couch stands before the fireplace, along with a small writing table and pair of chairs. An old sea chest stands before an elegant bed, next to an antique armor stand. The armor stand holds Iron Bert Smythee’s famed "iron shirt".
"Welcome to our room" she invites him in and closes the door behind him. "Make yourself comfortable." she offers and takes a seat on the bed herself.
Lito de'Anora |
Lito looks briefly around the room with interest, noting the armor but passing over it before walking to the bed and taking Agasta's hand and saying:
Very nice room, but I'm interested in opening the true treasure here.
Then he kisses her hand and tries to pull her up into an embrace.
GM Foxy |
Agasta closes the curtains and locks the door to make sure this is private and uninterrupted. (The rest is only for Lito's fantasy :)
Outside the party goes on for a while. A few hours and a couple of drinks later Estelle gets a gill transplant with the gills from one of the dead sahuagin. Finally all go to sleep somewhere on the floor or nod off on their chairs. In this tropical climate most wake up the next day in the late morning with a bad hangover to the stink of rotten fish.
In the room of Lady Smythee it is bearable due to the closed door but the smell slowly seeps in there too.
Lady Agasta Smythee__ |
Agasta gets up and opens the window. "What's this awful smell?"
Walking over to the armor stand she strokes over the armor. "That was my last husbands armor. If he would have worn it on his last jouney maybe he'd be still alive. I'd prefer you not finding such an end, so if it's of use to you please use it."
Moving to the chest she gets out a spyglass and holds it out to Lito. "That is a magical spyglass that can be used to a great advantage from the top of the rock."
The armor is a a buccaneer’s breastplate. This +1 breastplate is made of shining amber metal and decorated with faint motifs of the waves and water. It allows the wearer to continually utilize the effects of the spell water walk. If a creature puts on the armor while underwater, the wearer is borne toward the surface at a rate of 60 feet per round.
The Spyglass is a farglass. This telescoping brass spyglass functions as a normal spyglass and allows clear vision to the horizon 3 miles away at sea level. From atop a typical crow’s nest or 70-foot-tall tower like Tidewater Rock, this vision extends to over 10 miles. Once per day, the user of a farglass can activate a clairaudience/clairvoyance effect upon any location seen through the farglass’s lens. As long as the location is kept in sight through the lens, the clairaudience/clairvoyance sensor can move with the location. This effect lasts for up to 5 minutes.
Besmara __ |
Besmara wakes up yawning, which is really bad in this surrounding.
Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
The air sucked in is met half way by the contents of her stomach that want to get out again. She gets her mouth full of gastric acid and takes a run for the privy.
Estelle Numbduster |
"Well I be thinkin' that if Trytton and I be matin' I won't be getting gills but a child would be. I might try asking that wizard on the ships if he can, but a gilled baby would be interestin'
Estelle gives a smile at Trytton
Lito de'Anora |
They are both princely gifts... and I would be honored to use both, however Inever learned to fight in armor that heavy... I would have to look to see if I could learn to use it. But that spyglass, that is just perfect. It will be an excellent tool to make us both rich.
However, ringtone we need to see what that smell is.
Perception to sniff out where the source of the smell is: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Estelle Numbduster |
Estelle gets up and winks at Trytton, heading back to the ship.
Besmara __ |
Besmara comes back to the dining room after a while. As half the officers are already leaving she knocks at the door. "Hey lovebirds. We're going back to the ship. Are you coming along or are you planning on an extended honeymoon?" she asks through the locked door.
Lito de'Anora |
Lito takes the spyglass and gives his wife one last kiss.
Duty calls. Off to make us both rich!
Then he heads out the door.
Comming Captain...
As he walks down the stairs with Besmara he says:
Oh, I have something that will probably help us a little with our raids...
He proceeds to tell her about the spyglass.
GM Foxy |
Lito changes his post to crows nest. Looking through the farglass he finds - about two miles away - the singlemasted Chelish naval cutter, Famished Mane tied together with the pirate brig Vorsfang. The Chelaxians are apparently about to win the fight.
Lito de'Anora |
Lito relays the situation to the captain.
They are about to burn the Vorsfang. We could avoid the whole situation, or if we shan't to slaughtered all the marines, we might get ourselves an allied pirate crew that is in our debt.
Looks to be very high risk high reward.
If we can close quickly on them, I can give us a significant advantage if Chey can make some fog.
Estelle Numbduster |
"Owlbear get yer gear, Flips get yer men and get the ballista and catapult loaded." Estelle will go and inspect the crew to make sure everyone is armed and the crossbows are loaded and set up.
"We not be killin' any o' the other pirates?"
Lito de'Anora |
Lito climbs down from the crow nest after handing off the Far Glass to one of the pirates.
Then he gets the port watch organized so that 5 of them are ready to repel borders, 5 of them are helping with the siege weapons and 10 of them have bows.
I believes we have +1 strength composite longbows for our crew, light? Or are they crossbows?
As they close the distance he tells the archers. Once the fog comes up stay close to me. I've got a trick that will help you find targets better.
