Arrrrrrr, walk the plank, scallywag and all that. This be pirates and so do ye be.

Impositions:

Disgraceful Impositions:

Yes, Sir!: For the next hour, the PCs’ crew completes any mundane tasks they’re assigned in half the expected time. This typically relates to Craft and Profession (sailor) checks made to prepare, maintain, or repair the ship, and cannot be applied to combat or more complex deeds like crafting magic items. Costs 2 Disrepute.

Captain’s Orders!: As a standard action, a PC on board her ship can cast fog cloud, heroism, make whole, quench, or whispering wind with a caster level equal to her character level. Costs 5 Disrepute.

Walk the Plank!: The PCs may sacrifice one crew member or prisoner to grant themselves and their crew one of two bonuses: either a +2 bonus on all skill checks or a +2 bonus on attack rolls. These bonuses only apply while on board the PCs’ ship and last until either the next day or when the captain leaves the ship. If a sacrificed character is returned to life, the PCs and their crew members take a –2 penalty on both skill checks and attack rolls for 1 day. Costs 5 Disrepute.

Get Up, You Dogs!: Every PC and allied character on the deck of the PCs’ ship is affected as per the spell cure light wounds, as if cast by a cleric of the PCs’ average party level. This imposition can only be used once per week. Costs 10 Disrepute.

Despicable Impositions:

5: Lashings!: Your ship's speed doubles for 1 day.

5: Shiver Me Timbers!: While on board their ship, the PCs and their entire crew can reroll initiative or roll initiative in what would otherwise be a surprise round. The benefit of this imposition can be used immediately, but only once per week.

10: Besmara’s Blessings!: As a standard action, a PC on board her ship can cast animate rope, control water, remove curse, remove disease, or water breathing with a caster level equal to her character level.

10: Dead Men Tell No Tales!: While on board their ship, the PCs can use this imposition to automatically confirm a threatened critical hit.

Not quite yet.

"Also," Ixrul leans in conspiratorially, "Because he's not quite dead and I don't want him catching on that you're aware of his incompetence. I'm hoping to extort information from him about where he keeps his stash."

"I do get the impression that he is an *exceptionally* observant individual, so I had to tell you he was dead so he would buy it when I said I told you he was dead."

"I will, of course, deal with his failure once I know where he keeps the majority of his wealth. Most of his sort have stashes somewhere. If you so desire."

For what it's worth, all of this is true. Ixrul does intend to figure out where Giles keeps his stash and then kill him, or at least have Jrahk kill him.

Remember I asked you what your intentions were earlier, and you told me you planned to let him go. If that was not the case, that changes things a bit. He's good enough at Sense Motive to have gotten a Hunch off that. Did you ever Arcane Lock his manacles?

"I see. What kind of employment were you looking for, exactly? I assume you know the details of our little operation?" she moves her chair again slightly to get more comfortable.


Male Orc Bloodrager (Primalist) 9 | Dead, essentially.

Jrahk intended to let Giles go, because he liked the idea of dumping him in an alleyway in Port Peril with no equipment or money, and seeing how far he could get.

Jrahk certainly doesn't mind killing him, but that wasn't part of his plan during the interrogation.

Ixrul did arcane lock his manacles - the fact that we - or at least Jrahk - might have wanted to release him at some point would not affect the fact that Ixrul doesn't wan an assassin sneaking around the ship.

He might not have told anyone else about this, though. Ixrul is fairly close-mouthed.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

So...? You're still dealing with Zarskia, Ixrul.

Uh oh...did you use one of those arcane locks that come with a safety button?

Assuming we bough decent locks, he's trying to make a DC 40 or so. Without tools.

"I do thoroughly, ah, enjoy more... lethal work, but alas, it is difficult to do for pleasure due to economic needs. But you know what they say, if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life."

"Simply put, I am an assassin."


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

"Mmhmm. But you never answered my first question. What do you know about our organization's goals?"

"According to what Giles said, you're working for the Chelaxians. I'm not really worried about that, though."


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

"I see. Well, if Giles is incapacitated, I could use a new assassin. How about I give you a small task to prove your skills?"

Remember, Jrahk, I'm smarter than you. Or probably anyone else you've ever met. Except maybe Odan.

"Of course. Though I reserve the right to reject a job if my preliminary analysis indicate that it is either unsuitable for a more... arcane... assassin or if there is a greater than 50% chance of my failure or dying in the process."

"That's just good business, after all."


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

"I have a counter offer: Do the job I give you, or no deal. I can't have you weaseling out because it's someone you don't want to kill, and a cowardly assassin is only marginally better than a dead one. Enough that I'd be sure to rectify the mistake if one returned." she shifts her chair again. You hear a slight "click", but nothing happens yet.

Ixrul grins. "It was worth a shot. I prefer the maximum amount of room to manuever, but a job's a job. Who's the person?"

"Or should I just continue going through the list you gave Giles?"


Male Orc Bloodrager (Primalist) 9 | Dead, essentially.

You mean the list Giles just finished off?

Jrahk may not be as smart as you, but at least he can read.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

"No, I received word Corlan is already dead. That list is complete."

"I have a more interesting target for you. I was going to send Giles, but since you killed him, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"I want you to kill someone who's been on the list for a time now. My superiors have determined that now is the time to strike, so it's time for Arronax Endymion to exit the picture."

"And who knows, with a spot free someone like you might be able to worm himself into a Free Captaincy, if you needed extra incentive."


M Elf (Undead Army) Wizard (Conj [Tele]) 11 | HP 58/58 + 18 FL | 0 MIs | AC 14 (17+4) FF 11 (14+4) T 13 CMD 18 FFCMD 15 | F +9 R +11 W +13 | Init +12

Trying to get them to slip and see if they have further contracts they intended for Giles.

"That... is risky business. What will you pay?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they can only here what I psychically say, not direct conversation, right?


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

Through the Collective? They can only hear what you choose to transmit, I believe.

"We can discuss your fee when you return, if the offer of a seat on the Pirate Council was not palatable to you."

Zarskia smiles and waves you out.

As you step out the door, you notice there are quite a few more guards near it than there were when you entered, though they don't hinder you.

Head back to the ship.


Male Orc Bloodrager (Primalist) 9 | Dead, essentially.

So, what's your plan now? Jrahk assumes you don't want to kill our newest Free Captain friend.

Jrahk would be correct. I'm currently in favor of attacking them tomorrow morning at two or so.


Male Orc Bloodrager (Primalist) 9 | Dead, essentially.

Why didn't you say so earlier? We could've killed the guards while you kept Zarskia busy.


M Elf (Undead Army) Wizard (Conj [Tele]) 11 | HP 58/58 + 18 FL | 0 MIs | AC 14 (17+4) FF 11 (14+4) T 13 CMD 18 FFCMD 15 | F +9 R +11 W +13 | Init +12

Hm. Let's check on Giles. Do what you want with him - kill him, release him...Jrahk doesn't care.

We could offer to cut him a deal.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

You're sending me mixed signals here. What was your intent when you last spoke to him? Jrahk wanted to let him go, but Ixrul wanted to kill him. Was Ixrul in the room?


M Elf (Undead Army) Wizard (Conj [Tele]) 11 | HP 58/58 + 18 FL | 0 MIs | AC 14 (17+4) FF 11 (14+4) T 13 CMD 18 FFCMD 15 | F +9 R +11 W +13 | Init +12

I don't think so. Only time he spoke to Giles was when he offered him the chance to surrender IIRC.


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

Good news then, Giles did not choose to break out and Rosie is not dead.

You get back to the ship and everything is peachy keen.

"Giles, what are your rates?"


Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3

"Depends on the job. I got 500 a head, plus expenses for Corlan, Haddon, and Roweena. Easy job, easy money. Harder jobs I name my price. Highest I've ever gone is 10000. Had to drop some martial artist, flubbed the killing stroke and the fight was on. Nearly met my match there."

"Now if you're asking...I'd be glad to give you a discount. First taste is free, in exchange for my freedom."


Male Orc Bloodrager (Primalist) 9 | Dead, essentially.

Jrahk raises an eyebrow.

"What did this martial artist look like?"

"Yes, yes. Nightmares, long range tracking, I know the drill."

"How dead do you want her? Disappeared? Accident? Or do you want to send a message?"

And can Ixrul figure out that the Shimerae might probably be a chimera and make a relevant knowledge check?
