Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Yes, but they may not be as fun. I been cooped up on a ship for a bit and need to have some fun. Though there is still that fighter to look up later.....

After we get Embrianna her ink fix we should hit up Father Trafalgar for more information on the Wave Riders and Falken's lost ship. Then let's see if we can find Thalios at the tavern Jasper mentioned, he might have a job or two for us?

While we go to the Run Around Tavern in the Tide, we should talk to the Quartermaster about the ships for sale, get some prices.

Later we can do that, I need to kick Sorrin's ass first.

Note: I updated the campaign info tab. Under the last spoiler is Port Shaw Locations are the maps to the various shops you've been.

I still need to update the Port Shaw overview map with those locations.

Sath is there any particular shop you are looking for that I should think of creating.

Not sure what your plans are for the port, but...

I could easily imagine a smokeshop/recreational club (gambling) with a egyptian/persian flair.

Hookah, backgammon, teas, coffees, spices... all imported.

I don't know where "the middle east" is in the campaign setting. But, this would be an ex-pat to set up shop. Crew probably stop there to send/receive messages from their homeland long distances off.

Perhaps Sorrin's father keeps tabs on him, perhaps his "loyalists" do. But, regardless... Sorrin likes the proprietor and stops by when he's a bit homesick.

And, the food! Falafel, fava beans, baklava, feta, hibiscus, etc...

Would there be a brothel upstairs?

Nope. Moral, ethical and devout people for the most part. Family people.

I don't think that there is anything morally wrong with a brothel as long as the employees are there of their own free will and everything is consensual.

Though if you are going for a family environment, the brothel would be out, but then I would also veto gambling as not being family friendly either.

By the way: Magical Tattoos.

The Caster's Tattoo is pretty amazing, and so are the Spell tattoos. Astrianna might get a Feather Fall tattoo on her wrist, just to be safe. It would be 100 gp.

As for a business, that sounds good to me but know that Astrianna is an ex-drugrunner and she would be trying to sell the hard stuff out the back door, maybe without telling anyone- I don't think Sorrin would be pleased with that. Not to mention she would demand a place to perform.

Baldwin mentioned the campaign takes 60 in-game takes or thereabouts. He said one part of it is not time-dependent and the other is time dependent, which makes me wary of growing roots in Shaw.

I'm starting to lean towards continuing to explore Shaw for a day or two, at least until Astrianna can start using Knowledge: Local, and then set off to try and find Falken's lost ship. When we get to the Run Aground Tavern, Astrianna is going to ask Thalios about it, and see if he wants in.

I am strongly considering the SPELL SCARS arcana later on. Think of the scars nightcrawler had in X Men 2

Something he never had in the comics. :(

Bri/Astri look in the freebooter players guide (if you downloaded it) beginning on page 72, they have a bunch of tattoos.

I don't see the guide on the paizo website :(

Go to froggodgames.com then clink on the free download tab on their home page. The razor coast freebooters pdf is there, it's listed for 14.99, but it is actually free when you click on the pdf.

I looked all those over, but I can't remember them right now. It's not on my laptop, might have to download it. I don't think I saw any I was too interested in.

Sorry, didn't mean gambling as in gambling hall.

More like friendly games of backgammon, chess where winner pays for tea, coffee or pastries sorta thing.

Also, not a business proposal, long standing NPC operation.

Going to be out/sporadic for the rest of the day. I think I want Astrianna to get a feather fall tattoo on her wrist (100gp) if available, but I haven't looked at the other tattoos on the freebooter's guide.

Here are the "magical item" tattoos listed in the Razor Coast Freebooter's Guide. Note that these do take up your magic item slot for wherever they are tattooed, but can be tattooed in any slot except armor, headband, eye, or shield slots.

I'm good with the shops we have at the moment.

Tramp stamps for everyone! :)

I'm just getting home, so I'm not going to post tonight.

Oooh Tulita tatoos.

Here they are Sath, I think you'll have to ask for prices:

A monk with a volcano tattoo and flurry of blows... sweet mercy the damage.

I'll be out for the rest of the morning/afternoon.

HS football tonight, so I won't be on until later this evening.

Hmmmm, those are pretty much the spells I would have requested for such tattoos.

Was just trying to keep the "circle of trust" tight. Also, if we intend on bringing the larger ship back... a small vessel can be brought on the larger vessel's deck.

What's listed in pathfinder is very limited as to types of vessels with some high crew requirements. I'm imagining a sailboat possibily with an outrigger.

Perhaps Sorrin doesn't have all the facts.

I will say for what RC lacks in maps and ships maps, they do have some good descriptions and interesting NPCs. Granted, I've added some NPCs to the mix like the bard in the broken skull, but there are some do have some good ones.

Astri do you have a list of rumors and NPCs that you've come across? I recall that you were going to put a list together.

I do!

Razor Coast Party Tracking Sheet

I haven't updated it in the past four days, been working on a presentation. There are various tabs at the bottom.

Excellent job!

clarification for a couple potential hooks:

Dragonsmoke Drop (I know it's a rumor but you've heard enough that you are fairly certain something is about to happen)

Damn roaches and sewers. (I know it is listed as a rumor)

Track down Salty Dogs and Rikard Bleardon (leader)

Who was the mysterious lady last seen talking to Dirk at the bar before he up and left.

------
Note: I know Sath has the RC book, (I don't believe anyone else does), so note that as I will mix up the encounters (how they play out/gear/spells/and other things).

Oh thanks I'll update my lists when I get the chance (probably sometime tonight).

Freebooter's Guide? I had it. Where I saw the fighter archetype.I skimmed it for ambiance.

The Tulita remind Sorrin of the different desert tribes/factions/nations. Pele/Dawnflower have similarities. Fire/Sun.

I'm not referring to the Free booter's guide. The actual core book is called Razor Coast do you own that book?

Nope. Blissfully ignorant.

Nope. Blissfully ignorant.

Perfect.

I haven't been looking at the RC book at all, except to check the general info about Port Shaw- to refresh myself on what Sath should know firsthand.

Cool

Sorrin knows Draconic, his people in the desert surrounded by kobolds, lizardfolk, desert reptilians.

super busy today,this evening, and tomorrow morning, so I'm probably not going to get a substantive post up until late tomorrow morning.

I should be doing work anyway, so it's for the best for me.

New job plus commute kicking my... buttocks- will get a post up tomorrow, need to crash. Good night all.

Goodnight! Time to get a satellite-uplink smart phone with a roll-up keyboard attachment. If you're driving- text to speech program so it can perform hilarious misreadings.

"Sath leaps forward and draws her skim a tarp no dammnit skim a tarp you piece of garbage stop!"

@Sath - pathfinder has some ships requiring upwards of 20 or 40 crew to operate properly. Sorrin hadn't disparaging your ability as a sailor.

Also, we need to be free to take other action and not crash, capsize, etc... Board enemy ships, repel boarding, fight monsters, cast spells, etc...

We can give the orders and make the rolls, but we need others to actually do it.

Just thoughts...

Just a forewarning that Roland is probably going to cause some conflict with our party. Adriel, Embri, and Astri are chaotic, Sorrin and Sath are neutral, and Astrianna certainly has some have some questionable morals.

If he takes the offer I don't think he'll like being with us for long.

I went with true Neutral for Bri. She definitely has some questionable morals. They are sometimes masked by a soft heart though.

Durr I thought you were chaotic- sorry. We have an interesting yet functional mix, regardless.

Adriel is Neutral Good.

i thought you were coming across as lawful good :)

Wow I can't remember anyone's alignment. I'm going to stop talking for today.
