Discussion Thread now open.
Is there some chance in getting an animal companion on board during the adventure?
Absolutely, will probably work better that way. PM me with what you are looking for, should be able to make it happen.
Hello everyone!
So far we have...
Arjun Srivastava
LE Male Vishkanya Ninja
Calah Riptide
N Female Undine Druid (Undine Adept)
Dimitrious Black
N Male Halfling Sorcerer (Umbral Shadow)
Doreen Makgree
CN Female Human Gunslinger (Buccaneer)
Kyranda
CN Female Human Cleric
Noro the Iron Maiden
CN Female Human Barbarian (Brutal Pugilist, Drunken Brute)
I certainly wasn't expecting my ninja to be the only lawful character in the group.
hello, just to say hi.
to get an idea of Noro, she is specializes in dunken Muay Thai kickboxing. she has a short fuse sometimes (well alot of the time).
she does have a softer side, it just takes the right person to bring it out.
she has earned a couple of nicknames one that is most prevelant is "the Iron Maiden" on account she must have an iron liver to hold that much booze
her second and lesser known nick name (only someone that runs in the criminal underworld circles might know) --- I'll PM that name if you fit the bill to know.
Noro has lived in Port Peril for a few years having been born in Sandpoint.
she is a Tien/Varisian mix breed.
I too am going to be a sorcerer that will multiclass into a ranger.
CG aligned.
Time for introductions
I am a 40 something semi professional with a beautiful wife who is too good for me. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As far as gaming, I started in 1981 that magical summer between 8th and 9th grade and played regulary for 17 years, until I decided that I was to old to be playing this game[/dumb decision]. I started up playing pathfinder about a year ago.
My character is going to focus on sniping in the dark with magic missiles and battlefield control/buff spells.
BTW@ DM Michael, what are your thoughts on intensified empowered MM, some DM's let it fly some don't?
I think we are suppose to give IC introductions, but you gave an out of character one, which i okay as well. Though you did you give your IC one as well, which I'm interested in seeing.

Yeah I know but we are all going to be here awhile so what the hell.
In real life:
I have spent the better part of the last four years at sea. I do not want to get into too much detail on a public board, but I enjoy role playing as well as all things nautical. I am in my late 20s and was first introduced to DND in High School. I have been involved in PFS since 2010. I have wanted to run this AP for a while now.
@Dimitrious, I would allow intensified empowered magic missile. The intensify would allow one extra missile at level 11 and two extra at level 13. Is that how you read it?

Ah a military man, I spent 4 years in the army myself

Yes that's how I read it but I yield to whatever the DM decides, I am not into arguing rules.
What is everyone good at doing?
Names are listed beside each skill beginning with the highest modifier. Highlighted skills have no ranks invested by party members, and the highest natural modifier is listed if the skill is usable untrained.

Dimitrious - You do not have specifiers listed for your Craft and Profession skills.
Crafting: I do not plan on doing any, but I will put wands down
Profession: Scout/Spy
I have some skill changes for noro I ported her from another game and still needs editing
Calah will get some Knowledge nature and geography at lvl 2 and a bit of climb and acrobatics so she does not fall down whenever there is a storm.
She also has profession cook in case we get hungry ;).
With her spells she can offer some control, she can do ranged trips, disarms and bull rushes with her hydraulic push. Her pet later on will be able to add some damage.
At level two she becomes a full aquatic creature with amphibious quality so she is well versed underwater.
Wild shape won't come in till level 6 due to archetype
With her skills and natural mods she would probably be the best one to control the boat should that ever be necessary. High profession sailor, high survival/knowledge nature/perception to avoid difficult weather/streams.
Dimitrious - Craft skills are designated by material media, not finished product. Instead of wands, you would probably indicate Craft (woodworking).
Calah - Oh, believe me, an aquatic character in this campaign is a godsend. If we encounter an enemy ship, you can swim underneath them and cast warp wood on their hull. Or glue a feather token (anchor) to their hull. Or use an adamantine dagger to cut their anchor chain. Or...
Is shadowfox joining us as well?
A watersinger addition might be fun, but then we have two undines and 7 players.
Might be useful if someone can repair the ship with profession engineer/woodcutter (whatever is needed)
or build siege weapons with craft siegeweapon
I will go with Woodcutter
Might be engineer though, I'm not sure what it takes.
I know druid spells can help some repairs, but not all. Especially if we want to add more cool stuff to our pirate ship later on ;).
done editing, Noro should be complete now with proper skill allocation.
Took some sense motive instead of acrobatics. Will be more useful for the party with all them lying pirates about ;)
ahh sunny I likes it when you be around.
alright, alright, now get off of me before I wring yer neck ya little tramp... ;P
Is sunny joining us on our merry band?
If sunny would like.
Will be out all day
Will post tonight
Rule of 2 is OK as. Long as I can still bank some heads once in a while
What timezone is everyone on btw? I am on GMT+1
*Waves to sunny/captain andoran*
I am in US/Pacific Time Zone it is 7:20 am at the time of this post
Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5)
I be livin' in Australia.
G'day mate! (^_^)
East coast of said continent, actually.
Very much wishing every one all the best.
Hello all almost home will catch up and give update of status regarding wife hospitalization
Also east coast us time zone
Hey man, don't sweat it it, I hope she is doing alright
Take care Noro.
Michael, how much of this are we going to do via PMs? Maybe its usefull if we can coordinate evening tasks
We did the first night as PM but I think it will be easier to coordinate these things in the gameplay thread. So for following days we I will coordinate through the gameplay thread and only pass stuff I want to stay hidden in PM.
Good, I'd rather keep the bulk of the game in the gameplay thread too.
Mind if I post my first night there?
Would prefer first night via PM so I can keep it all strait.
Mysterious roll....
Will there be a combat map?
Here be a test post fer tha' character wokrin' out an' stuffs! (^_^)
Gettin' things done as quick as I can be.
Gon'a be editin' an' pastin' an' arraingin' things. Will try an' keep things squared away, but if'n I jumble anythin' up, let me know, okeys?
*Hugz Noro* (^_^)
Very much cheers ta' all!
There will be combat maps later but not for this combat.
Another unarmed combat fighter? Seems like all the good weapons will go to the ninja and Doreen then ;).
Even then, Arjun is planning on picking up TWF, so anything other than daggers/kukris and shortswords/wakizashis would not interest him.
I can be usin' swords an' stuffs too. (^_^)
Jus'... I like ta' be versatile in me approach ta' things, ye ken? (^_~)
Dang it!
Sorry fer not bein' able ta' find th'a listin's fer whut can be done at night.
Linky? Pointers? Second on'a left kind'a thingy?
Much cheers ta' all. (^_^)
Sunny, some suggested night actions:
Entertain the Crew, tonight's activities include arm wrestling and story telling, if you have something more entertaining or less mundane, they will be happy to see it.
Go Exploring: There are many places to check out aboard, not all of them you are allowed in, but will that stop you? Maybe just don't get caught. Places that you can explore include Captain's storage, Middle Hold, Quartermaster's and Cook's cabin, Galley, Quartermaster's store, lower hold and crew's berthing, Officer's Stateroom and Captain's Cabin. (Forewarning, if it seems like a bad idea, it might be.)
Gamble: You don't have much to gamble with yet but you may attempt some games of chance.
Thievery: Attempt to gather supplies or coin from those around you.
Go to bed: Just as it seems.
Something else: If you have a good idea, do it.
