How you doin'? ; )
Does someone care to give a summary of the story up to now? I'm vaguely aware but not 100%. I'll read it in full after the gym.
Postin' my to-do. I must've missed being fully accepted somewhere. I'll work extra hard after my job interview to make sure everything's cleaned up for the game. I'll also read through the adventure to see how we're doing.
Until then, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Castellus Cale, captain of the Fury's Gambit and Free Captain of the Shackles. He's a two-weapon fighter specializing in the sword-and-pistol build. Unfortunately that doesn't come into its own until later, so that's why in addition to his pistol and cutlass, he also brandishes a brass knife and boarding axe. I'll be glad to answer any questions y'all may have.
Hello to the newcomers, welcome :)
Iolana isn't too picky about race/class as long as they don't do anything foolish (which so far hasn't been totally true........)
Just obey party rules and share the loot honestly (LN, you know)
A pirate,eh? Ooh,boy! Gatherine and Tol are gonna be hounding you something fierce.And.you're.from.Cheliax? This gonna be fun.
And another gunslinger.Gatherine declares you her rival when she finds out!She' s a pistolero who specializes in mischief,shenanigans,setting things and foes on fire,AND blowing said things and foes into.smithereens with gunpowder.
She might warm up to.you and.be friendly rival...or like a mean little dog always waiting to nip.your heels and harry you every chance she.gets.
Welcome.to the Survivors of Smugglers Shiv!
You kids and your guns.
Truk throws iron spikes and that's good enough for him!
Our ship, the Jenivere, crashed on a shore far north. We started exploring the island looking for some means to leave it and stumbled in a few ship wrecks and a talking human/crow, a tengu. He pointed us toward a lighthouse near here.
It is then that we started encountering cannibals ; one encounter proved fatal for a party member (a male half elf ranger-Averine) but he was replaced with another soul threw on this island, the elf that is with us, Syndlara.
While we were far deep in the jungle cannibals attacked the shore where there is the camp with the other passangers of the Jenivere and abducted them ; a sole survivor , Ishirou for Tian, managed to get to us so we made it in a haste to this camp.
Hope my english is good enough, since i'm from Italy.
Your English is fine. =)
So I'm guessing Cale and I are planned meals for the cannibals... Save us!
Hmmm.Long story.short...Gatherine here stowed away on the merchant ship the Jenievere and exposed herself to the rest.of the crew.due.to a.violent bout of seasickness,barfing on Doctor Mugambi's shoes.And.revealing herself to.the dwarven cavalier Tol Cherthand who was sent by Gatherine's father,a wealthy landholder and retired guntank adventurer with a surface farming empire of sorts called Houndshearth known for warhounds.She ran away from home while he was on business and 'borrowed' one of his trophies,a battered dragon pistol she calls Sneezy Dragon.Recently,she snuck up and blew up a cannibal witch and her pet monkey while they were inside their hut and helped blast her into oblivion before she could get off a spell,with Syndlara landing the killing blow.She splattered the monkey with one well-placed shot--- she sees all monkeys as evil thingsthat need to be destroyed.Ironically,she'd managed to set said monkey on fire no less than twice before the final showdown.Called 'Firefist'.
Tol Cherthand,who is a DMNPC right now run down Game Maestro Bloodgargler until Tol's player returns.He is a dwarven cavalier atop a feisty mare named Gorra who is tasked with retrieving the wayward Gatherine and getting her home safe,complicated by getting shipwrecked on a cannibal and undead infested island.He is more or less her disgruntled babysi--,I mean,bodyguard.Order of the Seal.He took and oath to protect her life at all costs, and so far he's been awesome at it.He cares for her like an uncle would a favorite niece-- despite the fact he wants to tear out his own beard when she gets into mischief,like picking fights with zombies and picking up monsters like the pair of baby shocker lizards living in her armor.Has a running gag of mishearing or mispronouncing people's names..Called the ' Beast Rider'
Iolana was on board with Mugambi as fellow shipmates and is pirates daughter,a magus, swordswoman,sailor,and navigator.Like a cool big sis.
Mugambi is an oracle of life dual cursed by being lame and haunted known for hiding his face behind a mask,and was the ship's main doctor,and now the party's healer and quite the mediator when he can be.Like a mysterious good hearted witch doctor with friendly demeanor and a bit snarky.Gatherine looks up to him too.Called the ' Wood Demon'. He also performed a funeral rite to put down a creepy undead beetle swarm that was a sentient curse.Badass.
We had a Averin Gray,who left the game,and exited by falling victim to sleeping poison on a blowhard from cannibals and carried off by the Red Devil,who killed him and dumped his corpse in a shallow pool.We buried him with honors.
Afterwards we met up with the flamboyant and saucy elven deverish dancer and bard known for garish clothes and serene grace and deadly dance with her blades,Syndlara. Together,she and Iolana are known as the ' Golden Sisters' by the cannibals.Also there's a running gag in battles where Gatherine shoots something and its giblets end up spraying all over the poor elf!
And there was the recent addition of Keekaw,the addled tengu Gatherine bribed with hardtack to let them inside his crab hut to escape pursuit of cannibals,then fought off a wave of ridiculously hardy and fast legless zombies until dawn,and Gatherine again convinced him to come along with them to fight the cannibals and gain access to the lighthouse.Recently,though,he has appeared to slipped away from the party for unknown reasons as told by the Tian man,Ishirou,another survivor of the shipwreck.Gatherine was a bit disappointed to see her quirky birdman friend leave without a proper goodbye or reason.
So far,the plan was to follow the crazy captain who shipwrecked them and took another passenger hostage,take revenge and rescue said captive,kill off the cannibals trying to murder and feast on them,gain control of the light house,and signal any passing ships for help. And,um,treasure while they're at it. And for Gatherine,new pets and adventure time!
.....Did I leave anything out,y'all?
A lot more talk than necessary, but otherwise correct :P
Yep, i didn't wrote it in my background, will have to do one day or the other, but dad was a pirate too so this basically makes me a pirate as well, but i gave up that life.
Sounds good. Thanks for the recaps guys.
What time zones are you in?
USA Maryland eastern coast
What time zones are you in?
Italy east coast, Rome Time Zone GMT+1 (it is 11:15 AM now here)
East Coast? Isn't it like 5:00am where you live?
Yea. I'm insomnic and work overnights at fast fat food.
US Eastern here, as well.
Gimme a day to work out recruit entrance. Mugambi should be back in a couple days too. I will probably weave in a few posts of "meanwhile..." tangent soon.
Alrighty. I'll be following along.
We asked for an additional char and we got three.
This makes me think......
May i have 1M gold worth of magic items? and 5000,000 platinum just to have some spare coins?
Three?
Who else?
Last time i read, there was also an aasimar paladin from Rigor Rictus.
He's in recruitment but I think he's mistaken and he's being considered for the DM's homebrew campaign. We're at 6 which is already kind of a crowd. 7 would be pretty crazy.
Assuming that Tol comes back, that's actually 7 already and 8 if we're taking on 3 now.
How long has Tol been gone?
Tol will not be back... unless he is around and some happen to fade away. 7 is crazy, but I am going to do it... because I have a plan.
Blarg.
I don't want to crowd your game. If Truk will push you to 7, I'll happily bow out.
...wow,I really miscalculated my stats, I didn't even realize I had a Handle Animal skill until now.I just know my Dex is hella high and my Climb is a pitiful +1.thanx Bloodgargler.
Aww...gonna miss Tol.Hope he doesn't get killed...He and Gatherine started together and kinda hoped they'd finish together...
Hmm... dropping your dex to 18 and your charisma to 11 would be enough to fix your stats.
The good captain is updated and ready to go!
Aight gatty is up to date. let's dooo this thang!
Blarg.
I don't want to crowd your game. If Truk will push you to 7, I'll happily bow out.
If DM is ok with you so am i, no need to leave before even beginning.
The DM PMed me and sorted things out. He found a home for the flood of new people without filling this game to the brim so I'll stick around.
Now you guys just need to hurry up and find me. =P
Shouldn't be too difficult, and we are anyway thinking of leveling down the camp :)
Preferably, before I'm eaten.
Fair warning to you...Gatherine has decided to make a goal of turning any cannibal she sees into a two-legged torch.Heavily seasoned with gunpowder.
While not exactly with the party yet, I would like to suggest that the cannibal's base camp is a suitable source for a static headquarters. Don't 't mind me though. I'm just the guy unconscious in the back.
As for competition, Gat, don't worry about that. Ours will be two very different styles of fighting. Also, the Chelaxian is one of those, "Can't change who you were born" bits. He's not a fan of House Thrune or anything. Plus it fit best thematically when I was trussing out his backstory.
Thanks all. I am about to write the link post.
Please refrain from posting in gameplay until I do. I'll have it up within an hour.
Wow.did not know there was an adjoining room so klorak could pop up.
Going to bed. Will be back with my morning coffee.
Mugambi should be back tomorrow... if a round goes by without him, he will follow Iolana.
What did you guys do to make the cannibals so unfriendly?
How would we know? We were just thrown on this blasted island and had to defend ourselves from becoming supper for its inhabitants.
Ask who wrote the book :P
Ask who wrote the book :P
I actually did ask James at PaizoCon or GenCon (can't remember which) two or so years ago after I started playing this. He said that after eating members of their own tribe and local fauna for so long, the PCs would be like prime rib to them.
They have been running all around the island... flaunting their deliciousness.
For those around the lizard pit...
By Iolana spotting the caged eggs, and the behavior of the lizard... you find it likely the lizard will not give chase if you leave the area near the pit.
Great.So Gatherine must be a particularly fat juicy marble steak while Iolana and Syndlara look like a succulent T-Bone and Filet Mignon.
Like one of those old cartoons where starving toons see another talking and turn into a delicious looking turkey or something appealing.
Ha. It's been a decade since I've seen that but yea.
If you look at Iolana's last post and do some math, you'll see i posted at something like 4:30 AM.....since i go to gym at 7:00 AM but usually i cannot sleep for fear of not waking up in time <YAWWWNNNNN>
....tired+exercise= Nope.=[
....tired+exercise= Nope.=[
It is not that i do it on purpose :(
Tired + Exercise = Invigorating Awakening
At least that's how it was when I was in the military.
took an extra couple minutes with the map to break up the cage... brought on nostalgia.
Had to sell some toys when i was a kid to pay for a gijoe raid on my sister's dollhouse. Lots of broken furniture to pay for.
