baldwin the merciful
"The Black Spot" An adventure of extradimensional depravity for four to six 5th level PCs Explore the wreck of The Flying Fortune, a ship impaled on the exposed tip of an underwater mountain with a waterfall of gold coins spilling from her shattered hull. Unravel the mystery of her vanished crew—the bloodstains, the shredded decking. Discover a dank and gaping hole in the stone peak that pierces the Fortune. Is it a natural opening? Or a tunnel crafted by arcane engines? It leads down, that much is clear. Down inside a hollow, underwater mountain—all the way to the ocean floor.

As long as it's a good story that works for me. BTW I will not pick it up till this game is done scouts honor 8>)
This game is part of a four module supplemental adventure pack, I would recommend getting it it is called: "Razor Coast Heart of the Adventure" It's some of the better written and developed modules that I've read. One of the of the four is a good beginning adventure for the overall RC campaign.

Might be able to get something in from my phone or laptop, but that remains to be seen. I expect to still be on most evenings and should be able to get something up early in the morning if there has been overnight posts.
All things considered, I will probably post more than most people.
Thanks for the head-up.

I am going to be out most of today. Might get something short posted from my phone, but bot me if necessary.

Good Luck with the new job Dinetta

I'm running this module for my table top game, and the players are having a blast.
Evil GM
As a heads up, my laptop at home is making some funky whirling sounds, and I'm not sure it's going to be alive much longer. If that happens my mapping will go down' dramatically until I repair/replace it. I have MS Surface that I can post from if the laptop dies, but it does not have maptools.

Sadly yes it may be time, I picked up a Google Chromebook about a year ago. Cheap and easy to learn
Evil GM
I'm still having home laptop issues, I probably won't be able to have it looked at until the weekend at the earliest.

How close are we to our ship.
Also being Labor Day and all, my posting will be spotty at best. Feel free to bot Marcus along as needed
Evil GM
You are about 1/4 mile from your ship.
As far as posting is concerned, no problem there, I'm still working on getting my laptop repaired.

Are we aware we're under attack by something? It kinda seems like "fish are nearby, initiative".

I'm having significant computer issues right now especially with mapping, so I took advantage of the opportunity to combine actions. Normally, I take things in smaller bites but until I get my laptop up and running that's going to be hard to do.

Male Human 10 Manager/20 BBQer
Well that is good news, a fan is much better than a new unit
Evil GM
I'm set to have the new fan put in Saturday, so I hope to be up and running full time after that.
Evil GM
I have a table top game tonight and I should have my computer fixed when I'm there. Sorry about the delay.

No worries Baldwin, weekends are slow anyways
Evil GM
I'll be offline until this evening.

The last couple days have been nuts at work.

I'm running between swim meets right now, I'll post tomorrow.
Evil GM
Sorry a huge project hit me last night, so I'm swamped. I'll get an update posted tomorrow.
Evil GM
I won't be able to post till late this evening or tomorrow. Busy day and evening for me.

It has been long week at the office, but I will try to get post up this evening.

I'm just a simple librarian, which I assume means I should have read a few books somewhere along the way.

Hey Baldwin starting monday the 12th, the next 2 1/2 weeks are going to be hectic at work. I will post as often as I can but don't let me hold anything up.
Evil GM
I understand being hectic at work. I'm going through that myself.

Revhi, no worries I have rope and I believe Dinetta does as well
Hello everybody. Sorry to barge in on your discussion thread, but I am a friend of Revhi and am here posting on his behalf. He will be unable to post at all until Friday. Rest assure that everything is fine and his posting will be completely back to normal on Friday. Please DMPC him as necessary. Thank you.
Evil GM
It's been another hectic week. I won't be able to post till tomorrow.

baldwin, don't forget that I'm giving Davkas the ability to roll twice for initiative.

Are the rest of us aware of what the captain just did?
Man I thought it was a typo for a second. What a dick haha.
Evil GM
As it happens, no. He not doing it loudly and given everyone's position on the other side of the collapsed floor, in combat and there's mast blocking some of the view.
As far as him being a traitor that is something that's important to the story line.
Female Human Cleric 6 | AC 19, Touch 11, FF 17 | HP 46/46 | F +5, R +2, W +9 | Init +1 (Jerome rolls twice) | Perc +5
Yeah, my first thought was "Well he said something that isn't odd and I'm probably not facing that direction since I'm dealing with the undead, so I probably didn't notice. Davkas yelling in pain would make me assume a rat bit him."
But then a party member yelled, so we're all good!

Hmmm, 17 posts and a backstabbing. Something tells me I need to do some reading and posting.
Evil GM
My table top group finished this game last night:
3 party deaths,
2 members lived, one of the two surviving characters fled.
The main bad guy survived.
Although this game is suppose to be level 5, and take place over one day, I let the party rest and level at one point. The group of five was at a disadvantage since they did not have a cleric with them.
Male Human 10 Manager/20 BBQer
WOW, that does not inspire alot of confidence

Please, from baldwin? That's just a challenge.
He doesn't pull punches, but he doesn't throw extra ones either. Very fair GMing in my experience.

Playing smart greatly decreases the chance of death. We just need to be smart. Dinetta is set up to set people up. Butterfly Sting, Improved Feint, Gang Up, etc. We just need to work together to concentrate our strengths and cover our weaknesses.
Evil GM
If it was played as written, it would be hard. The party does better being 6th level. Plus, they did not have a cleric.
Evil GM
I'll be busy until tomorrow.

I have no torch or any light for that matter...That's what I get for assuming
Evil GM
This is unexpected and an interesting turn of events. Well, the group can scrounge for material to make torches or maybe you'll find something along the way.

I have 10 torches and a bullseye lantern .
They are all halfling sized though.

Yeah sorry, kind of at a loss of what to do. Hopefully Dinetta will inform us of her torches so Revhi can light one of them.
