Ach. Come on, where's the fun in that? OK, normally, but since I already posted the DC and you know you can make it, no. Just roll already :/
Corliss and Virgil,
I haven't forgotten about you. Slight detour and then we should be able to work you in.

I've been lurking for years; a few more days is nothing!

Ditto. :)
I've been busy with holiday preparation, but will try to get a post up tonight.
Orright turkeys. All up. Let's wrap it up and get to the new guys.
Tis the Season of holiday stuff and I am also moving and starting a new job in addition to travels and family so posting will be intermittent for the next month.
Good luck with the new job and the move, Cap'n!
Huzzah! Congrats on the new posting Skipper :)
Just a heads up shipmates - me and the missus are heading off to Dubai for the festives with my bro-in-law and family from this Wednesday.
I'm not back until the 30th of Dec, and while I hope to post if/when I can, I've no idea on how often I'll manage
I'll hopefully get some posting done tomorrow, but we've a busy run-up until the flight Wednesday so wanted to give everyone the heads up now.
- Skipper please DMPC Kauly as necessary. You know my lunk headed modus operandi by now ;)
Regardless have a superb festive holiday when it comes lads - looking forward to continuing our adventures into the new year!
Cheers
Bah. I don't have internet access at my new place yet so may be a couple days before I can properly update.

Merry Christmas, all!
Corliss and Virgil will shape their prison gruel into the shape of a turkey to mark the occasion. ;)

Ah, Happy holidays all. New mates are literally just around the corner : )
I hope you all are enjoying your various holidays; things on this end are packed with family stuff and cooking, which should be wrapping up in a couple of days.

Merry... Hur... Xmas...
Santa's supplied both grog an' swag... I's a happy boy :)
Enjoy the day lads
Happy New Year shipmates - may 2018 be a bountiful one for you and yours.
Bah. I thought I might get hooked up today, but looks like Fri. What's Dibbets doing?
Bad weather (Friday & Saturday) and a closed library (Sunday & Monday) are conspiring to limit by posting capacity for the next few days. I'm hoping to be online Saturday (though maybe not 'til late if things are messy weather-wise), but other than that window I'll be unavailable until Tuesday. The GM may bot my character as needed.
Corliss would likely try more guidance-buffed Strength checks to pull off a second miracle and free Virgil from his cage.
I find the summoner and whip feather token really confusing to say the least. Of course that's what PFS uses. I know I screwed up the Summoner rules a bit, but I can't even tell about the whip. If it's just like a dancing weapon, does that mean if can only go four rounds without having to be wielded? or is it flying around for an hour which seems a bit much?
So rules say that assisting a grappled character only adds +2 to their roll, but that seems silly to me. If you out grapple a grappler, seems you should be in charge. I'll go with that and 4 round flying attack limit.
sent a PM to Virgil, but haven't heard anything. May have lost him.
Present, good sir. My apologies for missing the spoiler introducing us to the action.
Alright, I tend to modify maps heavily and dont like Roll20, but here's a map for Jim.

You're in #23. Villains went through the secret door to the lower left.
Only map I can see on Rolld20 is the ol' haunted house Skipper...
I'll win it in the meantime :)
That's the one. Haunted by Aspis and summonlings... You're in room 23.
Ok. So now I have two characters that I have no idea what they're saying...
;)

Sorry about that. I'll try to remember a translation under a spoiler.
Dunno what yer getting at Skipper... Lopps is the model o' elly-quince.
Apologies for the radio silence of late; been working long hours and then coming home & getting ready for a houseful of people tomorrow.
Virgil- what languages do you know?
Due to a pending medical procedure, I'll likely be offline Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm hoping to be back by Thursday afternoon. Please bot Corliss as needed.
Good luck!
No worries. Speedy recovery!
Quick recovery to you mate!

I'm still watching and reading, so if you'd like to leave Dingus aboard ship while the rest of you adventure that would be great. Still not ready to resume posting... but enjoying the ride as usual.
Crouching Snake Lurking Ding! Hur!
Offline Sunday and Monday (Presidents' Day); please bot me if needed!
I'll be on the road the next couple of days, and slow to post. (Past couple of days have been full of work and packing.)
Well, it's been a terrible couple months for my games. I've lost nearly half my players in my 3 games. One game has folded and another is limping. Dingus is lurking around here, but not sure we'll see much of Dibbets anymore now that he's home and not a captive audience most of the time.
I guess I'll have to come up with something for his action and we'll just push along so y'all are in the picture.
It doesn't help that with losing access to the boards at work I haven't been able to post hardly at all during the day.
Yeah its been a grind of late - think the beginning of the year, board stability being terrible and a flux in the persona dramatis hasn't helped.
Has been a whirlwind of circumstance and obfuscation on my end. Work remains a no go re: logging on, and I've had family visiting for a couple of weeks as well. We still don't have a home computer set up - and my wife's needed our one laptop for her night job... so all up a bit of a balls up. Won't get fundamentally better overnight - but should smooth out a bit once my folks drive back westwards on Monday.
Still dealing with the change of career as well - even though I'm three months into the role. Getting up earlier, working till later and coming home more tired and half brain dead.
I do apologize for being that arse that disappeared without word and didn't let people know what was going on. Don't have much of an excuse, but I would like to worm back in iffin I'm still welcome. Will just be a bit slower and not as loquacious.
Matey - think I speak for us all when I say you've more than earned your free pass on the absentee front, so am just glad all is reasonably good in the Land of Oz.
B'sides, with you and Scran taking a wee sojourn, Jimmer still having work-access issues and the new lads settling in, its been an opportunity to allow Kaul to develop from his shrinking violet, lurking henchman role of the past...
Hur-hur.
Seriously mate - any game presence by your goodself is a boon.
Ahoy, Dibbets! yeah, I figured you'd be back as soon as you could be. It feels like its been a rough year for many or at least much busier. You're welcome back of course, if you can forgive my awful attempts at Dibbets' accent.
Dibbs has an accent? :P
He spicks wi the mither tongue!
WB Dibbets.
Alright, so I think that I've mentioned before that I'll be trying out a modified "Fire as She Bears" (FASB) Ship-to-Ship combat system. It's not great, but better than what Paizo offered. Not crazy about the Starfinder system either, but it's kinda similar to FASB.
FASB has various roles for the PCs which include (with my take):
Captain (Drake in this case)
Navigator/Helm (can be open)
Chaplain/Surgeon (open)
Bosun/Engineer (can be open)
Mates- various roles incl. Gunner, boarding crew, defense (fire/bailing), sails (open spots)
For checks, I'll be using RANKS in profession (sailor) (no class prof bonus, keeping it even Steven) modified by the ability tied to role instead of generic WIS modifier: Capt (CHA), Helm (INT), Chaplain (CHA), Bosun (INT), Mates (WIS)
Each position will have a couple specified actions a PC can take in their role or some character ability instead. If you're interested in any specific roles above, let me know. We'll just see how this works out...
Since Captain is taken, Kaul will probably best be placed as either:
Dibbs will leave the Chaplaining to the Besmaran, and ride the sails.
Jim's best at Helm--5 ranks in Profession (Sailor), 2 ranks in Profession (Navigator), and +2 INT.
