DM-Camris' SKULL & SHACKLES Chapter 0: MURDER aboard the THROATY MERMAID (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

The passengers aboard the Throaty Mermaid are on a long voyage heading south towards Sargova. Everything is perfectly alright. Nothing unusual is happening...
ROLL20 COMBAT MAP


From a central passageway a number of closet sized cabins.
Each cabin came with a bunk, a sea-chest, a narrow closet, a chest of drawers, a washbasin and a water pitcher. Each is lit with a small hurricane oil lamp. There is a resealable 8 inch square hatch in the hull that can be opened for sunlight or ventilation.
Full aft the passageway exits into a kind of common room, with tables, lamps and seats for everyone. There are maps and books in cabinets here, a port and starboard weatherproofed water closet (basically a hole in a plank overhanging the water), and glassed windows giving a wavering view overlooking the water.

==============================================================
Character creation:
- 20 point buy, 1st level.
- Core Races preferred, but any race can be accepted. Just make sure you have a backstory to justify your Drow/Klingon...
- All Pathfinder classes are allowed. Summoners are restricted to the Unchained version.
- 2 Traits, including one Campaign. You can take another trait if you take a drawback.
- Max HP at first, Average+1 on subsequent levels.
- Backstories are appreciated, but don't feel compelled to write a novel. You can keep your background as brief as you like it, just be sure to have some reason to be on a long voyage to Sargova.
- Early Firearms are allowed, but not common.
- The Skull & Shackles Players Guide is VERY handy. Pirates of the Inner Sea, Razor Coast Freebooter's Guide and Razor Coast Fire as She Bears will also be useful sources.

- Players should be able to post at least every other day.
