That roll would not change her attitude towards you. It would change anybody that was not friendly to either unfriendly or hostile though. just FYI.
Balthe: You accidently spill your drink on Tilly, but before she can act, Grok comes stumbling over laughing, and reminding Tilly of the time that Tilly tripped and spilled two whole mugs over Grok. All three of you find a good laugh from this and the spilt drink on Tilly is soon forgotten. Tilly goes from Friendly to Helpful
Nighttime actions:
Gradually, it dawns on Holgur that he is going to have to make an effort to ingratiate himself with some of the Wormwood crew. Since he works with the other riggers, it seems natural to start with them. It will also give him some idea how well some of them do their jobs.
Barefoot Samms catches his eye at mealtime so he makes his way over to her. "Never seen a rigger work barefoot, like you do" he says. "But you seem sure-footed, all the same. How did you come to work like that?"
Diplomacy
Jasmine Roise is already helpful (the highest) so you can choose somebody else and keep that dice roll. This weekend I plan to update the Character NPC attitude section.
During the meal Jasmine looks around to make sure the crew or officers are not looking, when she dumps her grog overboard. She will continue to work to influence Tibbs,
"How long you've been aboard. I'm just trying to fit in, no waves here if they can be avoided." She stays looking at Tibbs good eye. "So hows the booty division and capt's luck at tracking ships?" the words are like honey coming from the elf, who is flirtatious and engaging in her mannerisms.
"Any games of chance on board or ways to make a few coins?"
During the night Mesdoram will continue his search for Flotsam.
Four Skulls sneaks away during his shift to the quartermaster's shop.
Hey gorgeous. Did you mean what you said yesterday? Can I have my stuff back? He asks Grok.
Jasmine you have brought Tibbs to helpful now, and Holgur you have brought Barefoot to friendly.
Four Skulls: You can tell that Grok has already been drinking, "Hey, there handsome, come get your stuff, just don't tell anybody. Tell your friends they can come get their stuff too. You can thank me next time we get on dry land with some good alcohol, I am tired of this damn rum."
Mesdoram you are searching around the ship at night and think you hear a bird, and when you go investigate you realize it is coming from the officer's quarters. Being confident in your abilities, you sneak up the stairs and into the officer's quarters. Luckily everybody is asleep. "Flotsam, you here?" you whisper and the next moment the dodo bird pops and makes a noise (not sure what kind of noise they make lol). "Shh, you damn bird, you will get us both killed. Let's go find Jasmine." As if the mention of Jasmine was all you needed, the bird immediately takes off after you as you make your way back down to your bunk.
Okay, the next day, everybody roll for tasks and if they want to do anything during their shirt, but do not advance to the night time activity yet please. (If you roll to clean the bilge, please roll again!)
Balthe works diligently smashing rats
Balthe walks up confidently which a veritable necklace made of rats, tied up with their tails.
Meso, perhaps you can plant this on one of our new friends as a thank you for our boxing match the other day
Having dropped Flotsam with Jasmine the night before and departing with a wink at her and briefly ruffling Flotsam's head, Mesdoram turns into bed to get back to work t he next day.
Mesdoram finds Ambrose falling down drunk, a bottle of rum still clutched in his sleeping fingers.
Cayden Cailean's Kegs, it's barely after first bell man! Moderation is a fine thing.
He settles in to making food for the crew again, settling on a traditional beef lobscouse. He leaves the salted beef, carrots, onions and pepper on the boil to skip down to the quartermaster's office.
Grok, wonderful to see you! Mesdoram hands Grok a nice brown-glass bottle of rum he found tucked away on a shelf in the galley as a way to say hello. Four Skulls let me know that I could stop by and get my gear?
After haggling briefly and storing his gear he runs into Balthe carrying a collection of squished rats.
That is both hilarious and disgusting. But I don't think that's a great idea, since our friends don't seem the kind to check their lockers. Or bathe.
He remembers a plague ship he'd seen sitting at harbor outside Absalom once and shudders at the memory.
Mesdoram you are able to get your gear back with no problems.
You see something made of metal hanging on the side of one of the cabinet. As you inspect it, you have to wipe off all the dust and cobwebs and you realize that it is a good lock and something that was obviously forgotten by the drunken Fishguts quite a while ago.
Mesdoram happily pockets the lock and key, making a note to tell the others he's found a more secure way to keep his equipment from being tinkered with.
He skips down to his locker to swap locks quickly, putting the subpar lock in the galley where he found the better one.
Work type
Rigging Repair: The ship’s rigging frequently gets
damaged and must be repaired, requiring DC 10
Climb checks to reach the rigging 30 feet up, followed
by a DC 10 Profession (sailor) or Dexterity check.
Climb Checks
Profession (Sailor)
As Holgur nears the top of the ropes, he is dismayed to see the state of the riggings. Just effin' fixed this mess! he thinks. The anger he feels draws his concentration away from his footing for just a moment and he nearly falls to the deck. After a quick breath he climbs atop the mast and begins his work.
Night before:
When Mesdoram brings flotsam back Jasmine tingles with joy, the first sense of relief since this journey began. She rushes over and hugs the sailor, "Thank you!" When she pulls herself away from the rescuer she turns her attention to Flotsam kneeling down and scratching under his beak and wing, his little legs starts to thump on the ground in joy.
Daytime:
Jasmine follows Balthe and his rat and cockroach stomping routine, she tries to catch the squirming things while thinking of nasty spells along the way.
She will use her spare time to visit Grok to gather her stuff back.
the night before…
As the bird returns Balthe walks up to Jasmine. What is that little guy? I never seen something like it…
Jasmine to Balthe the night before:
"This is Flotsam, a DoDo bird, he can't fly and he waddles around. Their meat is terrible to eat." She stress that part. "This one's been with me for the last 5 years, we share an arcane bond by his proximity to me. He heightens my senses and I'm quicker to perceive things."
must be nice to have a friend like that
Balthe says wistfully
Four Skulls: Rolls, Swab the Decks and passes his check. Four Skulls is also able to go get his gear during the day.
About mid-day a young Jack Scrimshaw rushes onto deck. Everybody (except Mesdoram) can here that he is telling Mr. Plugg that while he was chasing rats in the Bilge, something big swam up an bit him. Mr. Plugg shakes his head in disgust and dismisses Jack. You over hear him telling Master Scourge that he needs "volunteers" to go kill whatever is in the Bilge.
"Balthe, Four Skulls, Jasmine, Holgur, and that damn cooking mate Mesdoram, need to go down to the Bilge and kill whatever is down there. I hope you are competent enough to do it. Now get out of my sight and do not come back until it is done. If you lie, you will all get 6 lashings with my Cat-O-Nine here." Mr. Plugg dismisses you and walks about. You all notice Master Scourge smiling, something that clearly bothers all of you."
You guys have time to go get Mesdoram and then go get atleast one weapon and armor if you want. You will need to remove said gear before going back up to the deck though.
Jasmine will make sure she gets her spell component pouch, dagger and Flotsam. "You stay out of harms way," she warns him. She then tucks herself near the rear of the group, letting those brawlers lead the way.
Balthe puts on his armor and gauntlet
DM here is a map for Bilge.
How I plan to do this, since the Bilge is not a big area, is that Jasmine is 5ft behind the group and the rest of the PCs are standing next to each other. If anybody oppose that let me know.
Jasmine you are AWESOME! thank you. I am not able to edit the document if you guys could let us know where you want to go, Jasmine can put you there. Four Skulls will be in the "front" row with the other fighters.
Actually, Jasmine if you could place Mesdoram in the "front" and move your character to where ever you want I will just start the combat. It wont be that hard of a combat to be honest lol.
Jasmine is actually on the ladder descending(5ft high) into the bilge.
I moved Four Skulls to the other side of Jasmine.
I believe I have it now. Jasmine is 5 ft high on the ladder and over Mesdoram who would be a the foot of the ladder. All the other PCs are in a row (front). Tell me how many and the size of the creatures and I'll add them to the map.
Mesdoram will grab a wakizashi and his leather armor on the way down in addition to the masterwork dagger he keeps on him now.
Mesdoram, yes you can! There will be 7 dire rats.
Heroes you all go first. Jasmine, the rats come from all directions by the way.
Four Skulls attacks the rat in H11 with his spear and misses as the rat dodges his spear.
The rat's AC and Touch AC are 14.
Who in the Nine Hells lets dire rats infest their ship?
Mesdoram tries pulls his sword in one smooth draw and swings at the rat in front of him.
His swing is wildly off the mark and he scowls at himself. My kingdom for a greatclub
Mesdoram you are able to keep ahold of you sword and not accidently hit anybody else. Though you do slightly frighten those around you with your wild swing lol.
Can't check map on phone ATM 5 ft to provide flank and he attacks w his spikes
for
-2 to hit if flank not possible
Balthe 5ft steps to G, 12 and attacks the rat. Your swing kills the rat immediately.
After they gather their gear and head to the bilge Holgur mutters to the others "There is more to this than Scourge getting chucked out of the tavern. It does not make sense to risk wasting crew if the ship is short-handed, like the Captain said. Something does not smell right. Besides this nasty bilge, that is."
When they make their way into the bilge itself, Holgur tries to drive the smell from his nose. However, once the waters stir with threats he takes a position and brings his flail down on the giant rat approaching from the stern.
Attack vs H16
Damage (wielded in two hands for 1.5 STR bonus)
Holgur you smash the rat into a bloody pulp.
Jasmine hangs on the ladder, not really having an offensive spell prepared for the day. "Sorry boys...I can have the area covered in slippery grease but that won't be much good right now." She waits for rat to get within her range before she throws her dagger at the rat in I,15. ; As she tries to kill one rat that is flanking Mesdoram
Jasmine's dagger sinks into the rat however, it is not enough to kill it, but you can tell that it is hanging on by a thread now.
Rat's turn
One of the rats lunges at Holgur but he is able to narrowly avoid the rats fangs.
Two rats gang up on Mesdoram and their combined attacks are enough to throw Mesdoram off balance as his dodge attempt fails and he gets bit by both rats.
Balthe turns around at the last second to see the rat leaping at his leg as it sinks its teeth into his shin.
Four Skulls is distracted as he tries to warn Balthe, that one of the rat leaps up and bites his arm.
Mesdoram give me two Fort Saves and Balthe give me one Fort save please.
Go Heroes
Shaken by the bite of the rat, Four Skulls jabs with his spear and the rat is able to duck under the spear.
