Baldwin the Merciful's Razor Coast: Black Spot (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

For all you know this is the person who debrained all these unfortunate creatures.

Thus the reason for the drawn weapon, question and sense motive check, which fortunately was reasonably good.

Um..I was a member of the ship these fellows were on. Jerome nods to some of the people on the hooks. Some razor handed creatures stormed our ship and hauled off a bunch of us. I woke up hanging upside down from the hooks and managed to free myself just a little bit ago. My name is Jerome.

Oh yeah there are two addition men on hooks. The two folks he motions too.

Poulain keeps his bow trained on the newcomer. "Davkas. Dead already."

Remember you rested the night to gather your strength.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Razor handed creatures you say, we also had an encounter with some of them as well.

Let's get him down, I got a good feeling about this one. Jerome I am Marcus. Marcus Nightsky He says to our party as he makes his way towards Davkas.

Damn...That's a real shame

Jerome is already on the floor

Um, lucky you fellows managed to fight them off. I was real worried that I'd end up scalpless with nothing but my loincloth on me.

Dinetta continues to watch the barely clothed man suspiciously.
Why are you not dead like the rest? This ship has been here for some time. Our companion - She gestures toward Davkas - was taken only yesterday and is now scalpless.

I'm afraid that I don't know beyond 'The will of the gods'. I woke up upside down and used a bit of magic to break my bonds.

"He knows nothing! Nothing beyond death and despair!"

Oops a bit of DM humor.

Scram, you crispy-fried harlot.

Dinetta looks back and forth between the strange man and the undead goddess and decides that the man is of more value, so she ignores the deity, instead filing her away for future use should undeath be necessary.

So you have a nearly naked man standing in front of you with any gear but his skivvies, but he' happy to be alive...for the moment at least.

What are you all doing next?

Did you happen to come across any discarded clothes?

I have not seen any clothes

Baldwin is everyone hanging in here dressed similar to Jerome i.e. in the skivies

If so: I suppose none of these folks would mind you borrowing theirs Marcus says indicating the rest of the hanging corpses

The humanoids are in skivvies or loin clothes. No clothing to be had.

What do you say we all get out of this cold and try and rustle up Jerome some clothes

Works good for me.

Besides your clothes anything else you're missing Jerry...You don't mind Jerry do you.
Marcus continues speaking clearly not interested in the answer.
You know weapons, armor or maybe those belts full of god knows what that Davkas carried around

I did have equipment like my magic backpack, mace, a few wands..

Dinetta looks up at the mostly nude man.
If your gear is around, we will find it. We are in some strange stone sticking out of the ocean, so there are not a lot of stores about to purchase new gear.

What the plan and the order? dinetta, Marcuc, Jerry, Revhi, Jean I presume?

Current Map

Squishy Sorcerer in the middle please

The group moves to the next door down - the middle door - and as Dinetta examines the door, she notices it has a similar plate on the door that the other ones had. She places her hand on the plate and the door opens.

You see that this chamber is a wreck. The jagged stone ripping through the brass superstructure that appeared in only one corner of the adjoining meat locker dominates the entire western wall. Debris covers the floor and minute, sharp spines of jagged stone pierce every flat surface.

Any trace of what this chamber’s original function was is no longer evident. Although you do notice a bundle of clothing, wrapped around a light mace that has been thrown deep into the room. The bundle is against the rocky wall.

Updated Map

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Per: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Jerome sees and knows nothing. Hey, that kinda looks like my clothing and mace.

The barefoot man does notice there's a lot of debris on the ground within the room.

Perception:

Jean Phillipe Poulain: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
+4 underground/+2 in water
Markus Nightsky: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Revhi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Jean looks at the Jerry's feet and the then back at the floor. "Looks like you'd tera those us..." he points to Jerome's feet, "...if that's your gear, who's going in to retrieve it."

Jerry, I don't suppose you'll be wanting to walk on over there being naked and all Marcus says uncoiling his rope and grappling hook.

Let's see if we can avoid those nasty spikes and whatever this bluish-green stuff is Marcus points out the blue-green stains and throws the rope

Flurry of Rope BAB+Dex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Is this blue-green ichor evrywhere, Sorry I can't view the map

I'll give it a try, Marco. Jerome uses Mage Hand to start tugging it over.

"Almost though you'd be a stowaway if the ship was going anywhere." Revhi laughs and claps Jerome on the shoulder. "Welcome aboard! So to speak. Tell me if you need any help with that."

The mage hand goes over and picks up the light mace - it struggles slightly with the weight - then brings it back to Jerome. Jerome immediately recognizes it as his mace. You realize that it will take quite some time to drag all your stuff on over to you.

Phew, good to have this back.

Seeing Jerome use his Mage Hand, Dinetta touches her necklace and creates another Mage Hand to assist in retrieving the gear.

With the second mage hand retrieving items, Jerome's items are retrieved in short order. A few minutes later the former prisoner is garbed and ready to go. There's a watery voice that fills the air, "Welcome my health passengers. I'm pleased you are here. We need to work together to save this ship. I am the Engineer and you are my guest. I, too, was attacked by an aggressor without provocation."

Perception:

Jean Phillipe Poulain: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
+4 underground/+2 in water
Markus Nightsky: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Jerome: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Revhi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Dinetta: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Jerome taps himself with his Mage Armor wand for extra protection.

Oh gods, beware of those who refer to themselves wth titles.

Dinetta points up at the ceiling:
The voice seems to be from that grate. Strange, I have never seen anything like it.

No Knowledge(Engineering), which I assume is the necessary skill.

Know: eng is the best option but I'll let you make an arcana check to give you chance.

KNow-Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Jerome squints as the ceiling grate is pointed out, he barely sees it and has no idea what the strange item is.

Hearing the strange voice Marcus says. Sounds like something is trapped in that cage indicating the grate

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20...He sounds innocent enough, hey buddy you alright in there

This mountain that the ship is impaled on would'nt be part of the barrier peaks?

Nope but it's a similar theme.

Cool, I can't wait to flurry with my mark VII blaster

It might be some sort of trap with a spell called Magic Mouth that delivers a message, or one that allows on to throw their voice from far away.

I'm waiting on Dinetta's arcana roll.

Sorry, long work day.
Knowledge(arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 <-- nope, didn't study that subject

Jerome's explanation makes perfect sense to all, besides He is the spellcaster, so he clearly the authority. The group is satisfied with the explanation and they move to the last door. There is familiar panel and Dinetta puts her hand on it as she has down before. The opens...

I'll post the next section tomorrow.

Jerome thinks of seeing if he can ask questions.JUst how can we save this ship?

Dinetta looks at the formerly mostly naked man.
Save the ship? I am pretty sure we are not on any ship. The ship is way above us. If my analysis is correct, we are well beneath the surface of the ocean here, deep within the spire which appeared to impale the ship.

Well the Engineer said something about saving the ship, so maybe this is some weird ship or that is a very old message about the ship above.
