Slumbering Tsar: Forward - The Camp
Game Master Lord Manticore

Ally will happily continue playing music in harmony with Roondar. She enjoys it tremendously and finds Roondar a delightful conversation partner. She convinces him to tell her the story of the aasimar whose life he saved and his travels to Elysium, as well as other stories of his life. She in return regales him with stories of fantastic feasts, parties, concerts, and hunts she experienced herself in that realm, as well as a few details of adventures she and Elen have had since forming a bond, which she clears with Elen before telling. None of the stories give away any Pathfinder secrets.

At one point, Ally is passing by Shamil's door, and overhears the 'noise'. She decides to take pity on her and flutters over to Niles, to whom she suggests he seek the gnome lady out when his shift on the boat is over.

"Lavinia and I would like to share a room together for the rest of the trip. You would be taking my place in the room with Azaraunt or we can help you make other arrangements", Ruul explains.

"Perhaps with Numair."

"Oh my, well you two don't waste time do you? I suppose you can't with your lifespans... Oh dear, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be offensive." Elen's cheeks darken as she realizes her faux pas. "I can certainly try to see what I can do. I'll have to find another place than Azaraunt's cabin though. That's not a place I would find comfortable.

"Do you know with whom Numair is currently bunking?"

Lavinia pats Elen's hand. "Don't worry, no offense taken. As for Numair, I'm not sure."

Lavinia looks about for Numair and if she spies him will ask him to come over and join them at the table and ask: "Numair, do you mind us asking who your current bunkmate is?"

I would be happy to surrender my cabin to you Elen, at least for the evenings. I enjoy the air of the deck and would not mind spend my nights there. During the days, I might benefit from the use of a desk there, or somewhere else.

The wizard looks around at those assembled for dinner. Now where is mistress Shamil. I had offered to talk further with her during the evening meal.

"That is very generous of you Azaraunt. You won't be uncomfortable with the chill of the night? Your fur is... lacking."

If one is a wizard, one has many options. For a brief instance Azaraunt is furred with blond fur from head to toe. As that instance passes he is his old self again. I am sure I will find some cozy nook to sleep in.

Ruul's eyes go wide at the sight.

He nods and doesn't say anything more about the subject.

So who will be taking watches tonight? I'll need specifics (i.e. 1st watch, on the roof). In Kallistiel's absence, she'll be sleeping in her room this evening...alone.

Lavinia will take 1st watch, I'm assuming Ruul will join her up on the roof for it.

"If you really do not mind, Azaraunt, then I will take the cabin with thanks. It is more convenient. "

After dinner, Elen transfers her gear to the new cabin, and spends an hour working on a sewing project she has in her kit, working on more embroidery she can attach to her pouch.

craft(sewing): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12<-just for kicks

After this, she will go to bed early, so that she can rise early and get a jump on the day. Probably about 2030 now.

Ally will snuggle with Elen until the elf falls asleep, then go up to the deck to talk to those on watch. Seeing Lavinia, she will ask her about life in Ustalav, and trade stories about experiences in the Pathfinder Society.

Later, on 2nd watch, she will flutter up to speak to Macavity. Using Truespeech to speak to him in Tien:

If 2nd watch passes uneventfully, she will head back down below deck and take a nap with Elen until dawn.

So who will be taking watches tonight? I'll need specifics (i.e. 1st watch, on the roof).

After Macavity's two-hour late afternoon nap between 3pm and 5pm, he will be on the pilothouse until after breakfast at least.

Calendir elects to take also the first watch, taking care not to disturb Ruul and Lavinia's privacy by staying with Lagash on the other end of the barge, but keeping them under his watch.

After that, and as usual, while the weather permits it, the half-orc will fall asleep under the nightsky, with the huge cat lying next to him.

The wizard never really unpacked so is only a moment in the room with Elen as he grabs his backback, papers, and writing implements. Its a comfortable enough room. I would keep the window locked for security. As he is leaving the room, he turns back and adds, awkwardly. You know, you remind me of my mother. Not your looks so much but your mannerisms, and your personality. Not waiting for a response he leaves, closing the door behind him.

up on deck he chooses a good spot with a lot of rigging and a decent view of the deck and surrounding waters. He looks around to make sure no one is around or watching closely. Satisfied, he casts a quick spell while touching one of the ropes there. His other hand holds a rod of strange metal.

After casting he goes to talk to Macavity to let him know he will help stand third watch.

Azaraunt will sleep in the extra dimensional pocket of a Ropetrick for the rest of the voyage. Imbukar will watch from the just outside of the entrance of the ropetrick.

Might be a problem with that, Azaraunt. Read the rules clarification from Paizo on this page. If Rope Trick is cast on a moving ship, it doesn't move with it. Assuming you want to still go ahead and cast it:

Ally notices Azaraunt casting, and tries to identify the spell.
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Unable to do so, she will watch him cast it, then head up the rope, but when she notices the rope drifting backwards along the deck, she will give a exclamation of distress, and flutter over towards the base of the rope. She calls up, hoping that the elf will be able to hear her, Trying to let him know of his peril.

Lavinia will take 1st watch, I'm assuming Ruul will join her up on the roof for it.

Certainly.

Ruul splits his time between watching the skies for a nighttime gargoyles attack and watching Lavinia.

Somebody might want to take watch below deck, maybe in the mess area, within better earshot of the cabins. Since threats may already be aboard the boat...

I've already resolved that with Azaraunt. Basically (and to simplify things a bit), he can cast the spell, even on a moving ship, which is now the focal point in line with gravity and the ship's position in relation to the planet's movement (lol just writing that was painful)

Oh good. I was thinking the same thing.

Although let's hope we don't get involved in any naval battles. This sets a precedent that could be used to hurt us.

Ok, disregard that post then. NEVER HAPPENED!

So here are the following watches:

• 1st Watch: Macavity, Lavinia, Ally, and Ruul (pilothouse roof), Imbukar (top deck), Captain Teach (pilothouse)
  
• 2nd Watch: Macavity, Ally (roof), Imbukar (top deck), random sailor (pilothouse)
  
• 3rd Watch: Macavity, Azaruant (roof), Imbukar (assuming top deck, 'mobile'), Niles (pilothouse), Numair (top deck)

Let me know if I made a mistake before I continue.

Oh good. I was thinking the same thing.

This sets a precedent that could be used to hurt us.

Now why would I want to do such an evil thing as that...(insert maniacal DM laughter here).

Crap my post from earlier must have only been previews and not submitted.

Numair will always try to take the last watch so he can enjoy the dawn and sunrise.

Ally will be on the roof during 1st watch as well.

Got it, I've added you to the list.

Retcon post

Niles just stares at you for a moment. You have to repeat yourself before his attention focuses on you and not at you. "You mean that one of the passengers is looking for sex?" Before you can respond, Niles continues. "Well, I've never done it with one of those little people before, but nothing some rum couldn't cure."He tips his hat to you and walks off, apparently to a date with destiny.

As LM ha already pointed out I have cleared that. But I was unaware of the skulls and shackles errata. To me that does not make sense as the spell is cast on a rope. If the rope moves with the ship, then the spell should too. Maybe it was considered too handy for that AP. :) And Azaraunt did not enter the extra-dimensional space, only cast the spell to be ready for later.

While the Imp watches he maintains Deathwatch on everyone within a 30'radius. Not sure how large the barge is, but if Imbukar is centered, he may be able to keep an 'eye' on most passengers and crew on the barge.

It is possible. My question before I completely answer yours is: Where on the top deck did you place the spell; fore (near the pilothouse), center (main mast), or aft (near the poop deck)?

LM, you missed Calendir also on the first watch?

LOL does no one sleep on this boat? I'll remember that, since I can't edit my earlier post now.

LOL, not quite - Just first watch then sleeping under the stars as he likes to. But I will be getting one of those sweet, sweet rings as soon as I can - being awake at night, out hunting in the wilds? Yes please :D

I was thinking near the main mast, where a lot of ropes would normally by anyway. Is that ok? Where is Macavity hanging out?

Fair enough. I needed to know for certain things...

First watch, please make a Perception check.

perception 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Darkvision, Detect Good, Detect Magic, and Deathwatch.

perception for Ally: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Constant detect evil and magic

perception for Elen: 1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 10 = 13
Don't forget my dream!

That will work just fine.

** spoiler omitted **

Ally's perception modifier is actually +10 because she uses Elen's ranks or her own ranks, whichever is higher. So that should have been a 20 above.

Perception +11 (+13 vs. EvilOutsiders, +15 vs. Undead, +13 while in Desert terrain): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Quick retcon

"Oh really, do tell. I have always enjoyed a good story."

Kallistiel talks about her non-Pathfinder-related experiences in other lands: the natural structures of the elven cities in Kyonin, partying with Chelish nobles, the great city of Absalom, etc.

Digory and Kallistiel finished their lunch and agreed to meet again for dinner.

At 5pm precisely, Digory walks over to Kallistiel's door, knocks, and politely asks her is she would like to join him for dinner and some entertainment. He mentions "the violin player," and says that he is adequate to the task.

Kallistiel will happily join Digory for dinner and the evenings entertainment, and even dances with him when he offered her his hand when a particularly good tune wafted through the air.

Throughout their conversations, Kallistiel will Sense Motive on Digory. Taking 10 she has a 25, but here is a roll as well: Sense Motive: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

perception check 1st watch = 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 +1 traps and +2 Humans

Macavity sits on top of the pilothouse

Quick retcon

Don't forget my dream!

First Watch Perception Check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Ruul grabs Lavinia's hand within his own and points with the other.

"What do you make of that? Those don't look like any nocturnal birds I have ever seen."
