Yes... But he also serves a being that wants to kill everything solely For the Evulz. That may be a problem, if he advertises it too much.
Of course, if he doesn't, then there'll be no real problems. Unless he deals with slavers. Slavers are not popular with Zenu. Or kills innocents needlessly. Zenu doesn't really have a problem with killing people and taking their stuff, but he would much rather take their stuff without killing them, if only because unneeded deaths cause vengeance seekers to come after him. :D
I don't interpret Szuriel that way. She is worshiped by "arms dealers, looters, mercenaries, soldiers, and warlords." All of those worshipers must have civilians to pay for war. Without civilians, nothing can be purchased with the spoils of war. Without a civilization, war is just survival.
There are other deities that "want to kill everything solely For the Evulz", but not Mabelode's.
cheers
I meant daemons in general. But yes, you are correct. Perhaps she's not the whirling black hole I fear. In any case, I'm glad you don't intend to play him that way! :D
Osir rolls well, why can't my dwarves?!
Hm... Blast, Molthune only borders the Lake Encarthan. I was hoping to get some of their ships. Same with Druma, blast.
Will we all be starting with the same XP as the original group, or do the new guys have to start from scratch?
Swimming? Nobody said anything about having to swim in this campaign... :p
I think he meant us. xD But yeah, I mean, expecting pirates to swim? It's unheard of! Especially when those pirates happen to have strong connections to water!
I get swim speed at level three…

Hmm yeah, you guys'll start at the same Xp level as the others. I'll tell you the exact xp level when we start.

No I'm meaning them too. I'm not only going to be giving you guys a taste of commanding your own ship (Also known as a rowboat), but there will quite possibly be swimming involved for both parties.
Anyhoo, sorry for the lack of response last few days, its been really busy for me irl. That being said:
Expect the new players to be introduced on .
I've looked at everyone's backstories, and they look good, though I'll get back to Saranaja's pirate captain she was hunting when I think of one (Unless you want to make it up yourself, thats fine with me).
Still need to doublecheck everyone's character sheets are good, though, but I'll have that done very soon.
I can make something up, just wasn't sure if you already had someone that would fit the bill or not :)
No, I don't, though I can make one up if necessary. Still, I think I'd like you to come up with something yourself, as it is your backstory. I think it would make more of an impact if you encounter something you came up with in the campaign rather than vise-versa. :P
mmm hmm. Well I'll work on it over the weekend. The name Hook-beard is stuck in my head at the moment, and maybe... a dwarf or a.... hmm Suli? Hookbeard the Red? I'll work on it...
Should I stat him up fully, or will name, description, ship description, demeanor, reputation etc. be enough? If stat him up, any preference for CR range?
Anything non-statistical will do. I'll stat him up myself if need be. Can't have you knowing your enemy entirely, now can we? Though feel free to give me class/race preferences and signature weapons/spells (if any), if you wish.
Heh, alrighty then :)
Sounds good to me. :D
I, too, have a pirate I'm pursuing, his name and such is in my background for your use Crusty.
Yeppers. I'm going to try and work both of 'em into the story somewhere if I can. For now, I'm working on the post to end the day and give everyone a glimpse of what is happening as the crew of the Wormwood goes to sleep. So expect some interesting stuff to be happening on the final moments of the Ghoul's Grasp here soon!
Apparently, having stayed up nearly 24 hours helps me go nuts with creative writing, probably because my semi-OCD-ness takes a backseat to insanity. ;)
Insanity is fun, in the sense you mean! Go blow up a ship! Damned Chelaxians.
Bah, writer's block. Been working on the ending of Day 2 (Haven't forgotten about you guys, don't worry), and its been harder than I thought. XD
We're still going to be on schedule with Monday though, don't worry!
I know that feeling. x_x Hope it goes away!
It did, after I got around to writing my character's action in Rob's Reign of Winter campaign. ;P
Ha! I have been keeping an eye on that one. It looks deliciously fun... I'd have loved to know it was going on when recruitment started, but I shall content myself with the Quest for Arcadia and this, as well as reading along. xD
Good. Can we sink his ship? >_>
I enjoyed writing that. :3 End of Day 2 is finally up! Be prepared to begin Day 3 tomorrow sometime. Woo!
Now... Zenu stops and thinks to himself... What the hell do I do next?
Hey Zenu, I was double checking everyone's char sheets, and you have an extra attribute point - 10/14/12/12/12/18 comes out to be 21, as I assume your +2 is in Cha.
Does it? Blast. Yeah, my +2 is charisma. Let's see what I did wrong, then... xD
EDIT: Changed it up.
Looks good, then. :P
Out of curiosity, will we be going far from the Shackles on our journeys? I like the setting, but freedom is the essence of the sea travel, yes? xD
Unlikely.. there are a few ports outside of the Shackles you may visit, but for the most part you'll likely be staying near the Shackles.
But I'm not ruling it out.
Gotcha. Sounds good to me. xD
Set sail for Azlant immediately!
Nah, Azlant's too close. We need to strap some rockets onto this thing and make it spaceworthy!
I vote we sail the Great Beyond.
I actually was thinking up ideas of an Azlant-based campaign.. sort of a "The Search for the Lost City of Atlantis" type of campaign. Had planned on it starting with an encounter eerily similar to Rob's Kraken encounter in the Arcadia campaign, but I didn't think of Skill Challenges.
So it was mostly just us getting killed by a giant squid then?
Haha. Yeah. Azlant is a dangerous place, don't ya know.
Nah, you'd survive. Your ship wouldn't.
Anyhoo.. you guys know what would be an awesome campaign? A campaign based around retrieving, collecting, and rebuilding the pieces of the Book of the Damned so it can be destroyed (or used for ultimate evulz). Been thinkin' on that lately.. might be fun.
That sounds interesting. A lot of the artifacts can be the basis of entire campaigns, too. xD
... Dammit, now I'm thinking about how I could insert my Razmiran character concept into that, Crusty! >_<
A quest for perhaps the most powerful literary work in all of creation? Sounds like a job for a goblin barbarian to me.
That'd have to be a fairly high level or mythic campaign by the sounds of it Crusty :)
Sounds fun, though.
Would be nice to play a powerful character for a change.
Are we new folk free to post in the gameplay thread now, or you want us to wait until later?
If you want you can, but no actions yet. We'll start with saving you guys tomorrow sometime, so for now you can post introduction posts / "Oh S*+% We're Screwed posts / etc.
You each have all of your gear, are at half health, and are fatigued as you were forced to work all day and late into the night until the fateful battle (If you can call it as such).
--------------
Also, as for the Book of the Damned campaign, I've begun working on it in earnst (I won't neglect this campaign, don't worry).. so eventually look for that campaign. All I'll tell you right now is that it'll be Mythic.. and plane-spanning. And, if Rob allows it, set in his Ruins of Pathfinder setting, even if you guys won't stay on Golarion long..
:P:P:P
Sounds tempting... Once the Mythic rules are available to me. xD
Do note that you three (Zenu, Saranaja, and Trevor) ARE injured.. and if you get blood in the water.. bad things might happen.. just sayin'. Not to mention, its still night time for you guys.
Going to get the introduction to Day 3 up soonish.
Wonderful post to introduce the new players and set the scene for things to come.
Let's see what happens next.
