I were doing a bit o' research into what Dibbets was actually going to say to the skyclad and dripping one and upon reflection we have a huge number of latent threads that we could be a pulling on as far as our next job (though Dibbs still votes to rough up the Blackened Knot). I'll see iffin I can't summarise some of them and toss up in the OOC so we can refresh our memories.
Kaul's all for giving more than a few of our nemeses the Glasgae Smile...
Torture methods aside - a drawing together of the strings would be pretty useful Dibbs...
Dibbs and a blackpowder sidearm... what could go feckin wrong...
Hur.
Think I'm going to indulge Kaul in a full on "Pimp My (Half Orc) Thug Life"...
I can see the rifle kick lifting him off to be carried away in the wind.....again
After a misunderstanding at the tattoo parlor with Kaul......"Tung Life"
Hur... Cow Tung Life

5,000 in thread and 1,000 in OOC in the same week! Congrats to us mateys, there's no other five twisted mind that I'd prefer to be cast adrift and becalmed with.
It's been a hellofa voyage thus far lads... kudos to one and all fer the 5K/1K breakthrough.
This game has been a stalwart source of both fun and inspiration gents -think we've all grown into our characters (feckin warped as they are) and through it all the Cap'n has steered us through fair winds and fouls seas.
Kaul OG
Alright, I may have moved too quickly on the shopping spree. We probably need to look over loot again. 8800 left from the motley man and...
Goblin chest:
5 alch fire
hand of glory- allowing user to cast daylight or knock once per day at CL 10.
Mayor's loot:
2 potions lesser restoration
potion of shield of faith +2,
wand of cure moderate wounds - to Dibbs
Draugr Fight (Sentinel Island):
Ring of Protection +1 - ?
Cloak of the Manta Ray - to Dibbets
Heavy Boarding Axe +1 - to Kaul
puts you in the neighborhood of 8800+2000+4900 = 15700
divided equally would be 3140 each
Cap'n would 10 shots worth inna sporran be ok?
Apart from the grand for his musket Dibbs is happy for the others to share his share of the loot.
Skipper - is the boarding axe +1 or adamantine? Both???
Am thinking of using a portion of Kaul's coin to set up a street gang under him - something to keep the coin ticking over and also to operate under the radar of the bigger crimelords (for now)... "honest" criminals - shakedowns, muggings and minor theft (for now)
Would that necessitate the Leadership Feat? Not planning on leading them per say, just funding their operation for a cut of their profits...
No slips though... hur.
Thoughts??
Cap'n would 10 shots worth inna sporran be ok?
fine and dandy though I think it ought to be decorates with cowries or a conch. : )
Kaul- both and has Ulfen runes carved on it which I don't believe have been translated.
Cap'n - decorations for the sporran will be a coming. I'll be inspired by whatever we encounter along the way that might have trophies worth trophying.
Cow's tongue and the skinbag seem likely accessories for starters lol...
Roger that Skip. Sounds a plan - wanted to sound you out about the possibility of that route...
So those who are Razor Coasters - have you cracked open the PDF and started to pore through the details?
I've an itching to make a Tiki-Man myself.
ah, yes. gave it a gander. might see some bits and fins poking up around Freeport here and there...
Looking hopefully forward to Level 5 - what's your thoughts on the tattoo magic in Razor Coast vs the treatment in Inner Sea Magic?
Downloaded it, but haven't really had time to look through it yet.

The Polynesian expy Monk looks like fun as well. You get to wear bracers spined with sea urchin spikes. Punch someone twice with a flurry and you get to rake the urchin spines across their face :)
Anything tasty for those of a thuggish bent or half orcean blod... hur?
Moving this weekend to a temp residence in prep for a house remodel. Time an d internet will be spotty till Monday
But not that one.
Little Richard was cool... but I'm more of a Cab Calloway man.
Dibbets, I don't know if you'd be interested, but one of my favorite authors (Charlie Stross) is in KL at the moment (and by coincidence, he lives in Edinburgh these days, so not too far from Kaul--compared to the distance between all of us, anyway). He had a blog post up that he's going to be at Taps Beer Bar the night of 4/17; "If you're not sure what I look like, look for the table with a large plush Cthulhu holding court."
Heh - would you look at that, I'm even in town as well... though I'll probably be across town trying to stab someone with a sword at that time :)
Cheers for the heads up, but in this case I've not read any of his stuff so I'll probably keep to my normal schedule - unless you want me to pop down and get something signed for you Jimmer?
No worries; saw him at a US con in January.
So mateys the Lignum Vitae (Guayacan) dice that I'd ordered before showed up on me doorstep. Are you guys still happy with divvying up that set as your putting up with Dibbets drunken antics for two years celebratory gift? or did you prefer a different wood type?
I've a few other tidbits that I'll be wrapping up in the packages as well... but they'll be a surprise :P
Hur... looks and sounds perfect matey...
Those look beautiful, Sir. More than happy and appreciative for whatever you care to send my way, mate. : )
oh, did I send you my current address- zip 85701?
Lignum vitae looks a wonder, mate.

I'll do a whip round for addresses a bit later on once I've gathered up the other bits n bobs that'll be wending their way to ye all also... and glad ye like the look of em.
Hey, Cap'n, is it OK if Jim substitutes Knowledge (Geography) for Knowledge (Dungeoneering) in his class skills? It seems like a better fit.
Everyone except Dingus is at the Sewer Station. I don't know that there actually is a sewer guild so I just put the maintenance guys with the Sewer Guard.
Jim- i agree dungeoneering is an odd one for fighters. i think engineering is a good fit though. profession(navigation) would be useful as well.
what were you going after with geography?
Something maybe better described by profession (navigation), but general mapping and the like. I think dungeoneering got on there as a generic adventurer skill, along with survival. Would knowledge (engineering) cover shipbuilding?
Dibbets will be broadening his skills if/when we manage to level again. He's got those three points held in reserve for magical tattoo crafting :)
Which reminds me Cap'n - what did you think of the tattooing in Razor Coast? - would you prefer me to use Inner Sea Magic or Razor Coast for the tattoos?
Would knowledge (engineering) cover shipbuilding?
Ubetcha! Could be useful for sewers as well : )
Dibbs- sorry, forgot you asked about that. I'll look at RC again tonight.
Dibbets will soon be on a short vacation to the land downunder for a whirlwind feast of familial visitation, bacon and egg muffins and iced coffee. Departure is scheduled for this evening at 11:55 PM GMT+8. Characterful service will experience a slight delay in response time during the period and if patience could be extended that would be delightful.
The Dibbets unit should be returned to normal function and reliability on the evening of the 23rd of April GMT+8.

I think the regular tattoos in RC are nice and flavorful, the Tulita tattoos maybe overpowered, but I don't think you were asking for those. I think either RC or ISM systems would be fine.
Most freaked out I've been since the skinbag Skipper... great job ;)
I'm re-kaulling (wackka-wackka) how much the Skinbag creeped Kaul out back in the day... seems likely this place would do the same...
Definitely getting a Shutter Island meets Lovecraft meets Rez Evil vibe here (and loving it :) kudos Cap'n
It's a fine birthday present for Dibbets; after we get past the door, he can get himself some garters to go with his kilt. Might have to cut them to size and clean them up a bit first, though.
sick bastards. I can't really take the credit though. I'm just recycling a creepy little gem that caught my eye (took my eye?) a few years back. hopefully it has a similar effect on y'all.
I never got around to seeing Shutter Island. Might need to see it soon for a little more inspiration.
Cap'n - aye the Tulita tattoos are a little on the ripe side, but I'm more after the mundane variety at least for starters.
I've got to clap peepers on the guts afore I can figure if they'll make use as belt / necklace / bracelets / sporran fringe / etc. Don't want them unless they're of suitable quality.
well, it's been a while since I nearly dropped Kaul so I guess it was coming... ; )
Crit on Kaul followed by a misfire with my bloody musket the first time I try and use it!
Love it... we do get ourselves in these tight spots lol...
What price for a hook hand ;)
Was that IP loss total, or an additional 3 IP gone?
Skipper - love the idea of Kauly getting a hook hand iffen his paw is chopped tae offal
Jim- yeah, it's cumulative... you've earned your name : )
Kaul- I left it a little vague. Yer welcome to make of it what you like- down a finger or four or down to the wrist.
Mmmm I is very tempted Skipper... inspired somewhat by THIS FREEPORT BASTICH (REMIND Y'ALL OF ANYONE???)
Am thinking Kauly is probably down to knuckles, but may need a sawbones to complete the operation...
What do ye reckon lads??
