The faygees were superb - looking back it is always the macabre and down right scary where the game really punches my gut;
The skin bag, Stumpy (where is he...), the Shutter Island-like vibe of the madhouse... Lynchian-insect people - its made for a heady bag of headfeckery! lol
Didn't we perform a mercy killing on the dandy skipper? If Kauly had got his way it would have been ugly lol... Dibbs did the right thing in putting him down ;)

Erizi the Landless- "Who is Dibbs"? "And where do we go next"?
Jengren chuckles at the Erizi's comment. "Dibs is who is after us...he is the enemy." The sorcerer replies trying to hold a straight face.
Heh - once encountered long remembered? - the stench at least :P
Perhaps this is the conversation of the Association of Yellow Robed Sorcerers...
Off to trawl for Kaul references or perhaps even the Mighty Tum Bobo!!!

As you approach the ship the apparent captain comes on deck, a grizzled half-orc with a hook hand and scars that would seem to indicate that he's had at least one close encounter with a ship's keel in his past. He grins as he takes the note from Gallowsmith, though the grin dies away as he reads over it. "Laekastel? That's a Chelish port...not sure about that." From the steering deck a Taldan sailor calls out, "Maybe you'll meet someone you know, ma--" At the half-orc's glare the Taldan grins. "Captain, I mean. Captain Kaul, sir." He gives the party a wink as the half-orc, mollified, motions you on board and starts bellowing orders.
However it seems he's a seer and a visionary...
Cap'n Kaul... like the sound o' that.. Hur!

Got that right. I put the crew in as NPCs, ferrying the PCs about the Inner Sea as needed. They trade off who wears the captain's hat from voyage to voyage.
no real encounter rolls, so OK if we jump to Whitebridge?
Fine w/me.
I would have agreed. And do :)

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Grapple, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: When a f lat-footed creature is unaware of your presence and you successfully grapple it, you can attempt a second grapple combat maneuver check to pin the creature as a free action. If you have the Chokehold feat (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat 92), you can instead use this second combat maneuver check to initiate a chokehold.
Newest favoritest feat from the Monster Codex - actually finally gives you a way to stealthily and silently take out a sentry without relying on damage. Sneak up and chokehold him down ;)
Really liking that book. It's gonna bring a whole lot of GM joy and prolly PC pain... :) :) ;)
Whelp... lets stay away from the swamp then... probably full of stinky boggards :P
Aye - it's well written and interesting and gives a wee bit of flavor to each and every of the creatures in it. I like the fire giant's boar quite a bit.
Hi Dingus is mostly back. Still ton's of catching up to do, but I'll need a gaming sanity break every now and then.
I'm good with moving on to Whitebridge.
Not taking her to hospital, just visiting her there. She was coming home from Lost Wages Las Vegas yesterday and had a TIA in the airport there; fell and broke her wrist, then flew home like that and was taken away as soon as she got home. She's doing pretty well, all in all. The volume affected by the stroke is very small, with no blood vessel involvement, and the wrist break is just an ulnar fracture. It was still a little scary for a while, there.
sorry to hear that. I hope she is feeling better soon.
Indeed - faulty recollection aside - hope that she's on the mend.
Ditto to the above sentiments chief. Hope she's hale and healthy afore long mate.
Hey Dibbets--what's with the bubble wrap jacket your alter ego is sporting?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
T'was my minimal effort Halloween costume from last year. $14.99 from thinkgeek. Was received well enough, but one cannot understate the sauna effect of walking around in it for about two hours in Malaysian weather.... I was both ripe and dripping when I peeled it off.
Hmmmmm. yeah, I'm not sold on the bubblewrap suit. Pine-a-lantern though. That's an awesome Idea! I'm pirating it!!!
Aye - that was a pinterest find from Mrs Dibbets, and was surprisingly easy!
Feh. We carve the auld neeps here - none of that pump-a-kin nonsense!

Caverns Ho! - the wee Dibbets are excitedly constructing away :)
Sorry about the recent lack of posting; lots going on Sunday, and my employers actually expected some work out of me today :-0.
Ah, I spent Sunday getting familiar with a real-life (replicated) brig. About 72' feet length of deck, 22' abeam and probably pretty much what you'll end up with ; )
I saw the photos on bookface - she looks a fine ol' ship.
If anyone is interested, I'm going to try something new to give myself a kick up the butt to get some of the disparate ideas flowing through my head onto electronic paper here.
Feel free to ignore, read, laugh, make fun, make suggestions, make hand-puppets, etc as you see fit :)
Ready to move forward to the search for Dallian?
Aye, Captain!

We're in Buisness lads!!!!
The Fragrant Breeze
An ordinary looking, ramshackle wooden bar near the water, the Fragrant Breeze serves only grog, rum and hard spirits. There is no food, no wine, and no comfortable seating. Sparsely filled with repaired and mismatched wooden tables and chairs, one might wonder how in the name of the Pirate God this place stays in business.
In truth, the owner, Dibbets (N male halfling bard 3/ freebooter 7), is an agent for the Halfling Benevolent Society. Leathery, weather-beaten, tattooed, and bearded, Dibbets acts as an information funnel for juicy news and rumors heard here in the Warehouse District, and Finn pays him well for his service.
I guess calling Dibbs an 'agent' of Finn is prob stretching the truth a bit. I dunno where all those bard and freebooter levels came from either ; )
The wee stinker has sung a few times, but I'd hardly call it enchanting and he can't hit a proper note let alone an armed enemy.
Aye - a few poetic licenses taken on the bare bones details I provided... but near enough eh? ;)

Dunno I've no problems with the Bard Levels - as what it fails to note is that he has the Arse-trumpeter archetype ;)
So aye he's played a few tunes and hit the odd sour note right enough! Hurhur.

Latest in my list of Kickstarted receipts
The merino and steer are my favourites... but the guys really need to get a triceratops or a pachycephalosaurus...
ooh, those ARE cool! how big are they? I like the big horn and is that a lemur, maybe? big eyes, the better to see you!
They aren't that big unfortunately - maybe just over a cm long. Big eye is a Northern Owl Monkey.
yeah, I figured they were about thumbnail-sized. still cool!
HA! I just checked and they're available at the
Bone Room.
true, I live a couple blocks away from that awesome place. : )
Michty me! 8K of in-game posts in rumblin' ever closer :)
yeah : ) We're trying an insanity system in another game I'm playing in, but the effects are really only temporary fear effects. it doesn't amount to much of interest. and the points are easily erased outside of combat.
I like this system b/c the pernicious effect on will saves keeps things kinda crazy and when you get low enough things get really interesting (e.g. Dingus with some help from outside influences) even if it's a bit of GM fiat.
It fits reasonably well with the overall low power level of the game, though it does make the heavy hitters far more glass cannon-y. (Yeah, I know--if we spent some of that money we have on magic items we'd be tougher, but even so.)
Wups. Forgot you were invisible Dingus. you can save the spell slot.
btw- I don't understand how you are noting spells per day on your posts. First number is spells per day / then counting up or down then (?)
Second number is how many I have left. I don't always update right away, but keep track in Hero lab.
ok, that's what I thought, what is the number in parenthesis?

I'll be dang if I remember. I'm sure they had a purpose at one time. I'll remove them.

We're up to 24th in most posts in a gameplay thread, and ten of the threads ahead of us haven't seen a post in at least a couple of months.
Loot just after Faruq's Faruqqing
20 x barbed arrows
2 x short spear
2 x magical fetish (barkskin (CL 3) 1/day with a +2 bonus on stealth checks in forested environments for the duration)

30 gp
great ivory tusks and the bedding consists of rich satin sheets
4 sizeable gold nuggets (500gp ea?)

Kauly grabbed the fetishes (gifts for the true believers lol)
As for the posts... slowly climbing to #1 boys... :)
Alright, keeping up with the loot!
Was Dibbs going to use one of the fetishes? he was grousing about AC.
Also, maybe time to switch to plunder points with Dallain's stuff.
figure 2 plunder points for bed bits, nuggets and bejeweled dagger.
diamonds worth a fair bit, but might need serve as restoration components
Dibs can easily have one... he has but to kiss the nut... ;)
