DM Michael Cullen's Skull and Shackles

Game Master MichaelCullen

I'm set. Just need to pick out a standard selection of spells.

almost done just trying to decide on a level 3 feat, my first choice will have to wait since my Con is only 14, I don't qualify for raging vitality.

I am going to go with "Alter Winds", I like long duration utility spells and if we run into that fog problem this should blow it away.

*Wakes up.... Looks at game...*

Wait... whut level is we agin...?

currently level 3

Aye! Adjusted to tha' right level.

Pasted in tha' wrong level of tha' character. Sorry 'bout that.

Very much cheers ta' all! (^_^)

hey all lost track of things.. I am here now, so what did I miss? need me to smash something?

Bad guys in the main room, though the room is large and its dimensions not really known.

Two small mooks seen, two medium mooks hanging back.

Something large this way comes.

Sorry about the lack of map, like I posted in the gameplay thread this will not be an issue come August.

Suny is adjacent to and flanked by "The Whale" and the two nasty looking fish. She is 20 feet away from the rest of the party and the two normal sized grindylows. She is 40 feet from the Brineblood Queen.

Arjun is flanking "The Whale" with Suny.

Calah and Noro are 10 feet from the normal sized grindylows, 20 feet from The whale and 20 feet from the two fish. 40 feet from the Brineblood Queen.

Jax, Dimitrious and Kyranda are behind Calah and Noro.

Welcome Raven!

Okay, so how we dividing up the new loot?
Also has the old list been taken care of?

Calah is the only one who can use the wand of summon monster and could make good use of it. She can also use the wound of cure moderate but I recon we leave that at kyranda's.

The bracers could be useful to use since she does have a decent dex and could use something to do against ranged creatures if her spells run out or she wants to save them.
Same goes for the harpoon, but someone with more strength could also use that to greater effect I think (cough Noro cough).

Suny - SWAG - Scrimshaw blade of great workmanship depicting an octopus worth 125 gp. Whut does it be a 'blade' of, perzakly?

Suny - SWAG - A battered great coat with four silver buttons
120 GP. *Looks at the little bits of silver on the large amount of material* ooo! Shiny! (^_^)

Arjun - 4, 5
Calah - 2, 1/7
Dimitrious - 8
Jax -
Kyranda - 9,8,6

Wishin' every one all'a very bestest! (^_^)

The Scrimshaw blade is a short sword.

Ah! Thank'e Master DM, Sir! (^_^)

*Tucks the scrimshaw work into her belt.*

Shiny! (^_^)

*Continues to poke about and other wise explore the strange little bits of silver on the large piece of material.*

"Oh! I know whut these bits is! SLEEVES!" Suny exclaims, happy with her discovery about the garment and her knowledge/grasp of the language. (^_^)

Dimitrious - 8
Jax -
Kyranda - 9,8,6
Noro - 3, and the shark skull

Since Calah is deciding between 1 and 7, he may want the bracers as well, more dex, plus he does plan to multiclass as a ranger.

Also, if we sell off the gems, how much gold is that per person?

Don't mind either way Jax.

Now to make a shopping list for the GM ;)

I will have to check things that are useful for Calah, probably a headband of wisdom and wildhape armor (bit expensive though :P)
Probably also a metamagic extend rod for certain buffs.

If anyone has tips on good Druid items let me know.

I don't think there are many good druid items. So standard things that increase ac/saves and stats are welcome for me or my companion :).

Actually Calah can't use harpoons (they be exotic) so she would still like the bracers of archery as these give her proficiency with bows. If you turn into a ranger you get the proficiency and that is the prime reason for Calah to get it.

The swag comes out to 1395. And we have 7 people? If so 199 GP 2 SP and 8 CP per person.

I think Suny was saying she was interested in some of the swag, in particular the sword and the buttons.

So we have,

1. Vindictive Harpoon, Potion of CMW, Shark Skull(250gp): Noro
2. Wand Of SNA 2 (7): Calah
3. Rusting MWK Cold Iron Sickle, Wand of CMW(12): Kyranda
4. 2 MWK daggers & 1 MWK Silver Dagger : Arjun
5. Wand of Mirror Image(23): Dimitrious
6. Lesser Bracers of Archery: Jax
7. Coat with silver buttons(120gp), Feather token, Scrimshaw blade: Suny

That leaves us with the harp and tusk to sell for 900gp/7= 128.6 gp

Does that look about right?

Like I said, I could use the #6 in case of when I am out of spells. Jox will gain proficiency with bows later (what lvl you taking a ranger level?)

Yeah, Jax will let Calah have the bracers, there will be better loot for him later.

For the Ranger, it will be next level, so I can gain immediate profiency with armor and then at level 5 take that feat that reduces arcane spell failure chance.

I will want to take enough levels in sorcerer though to max out magic missile, so eventually sorceror 11 ranger 9 if we go to level 20.

So we have,

1. Vindictive Harpoon, Potion of CMW, Shark Skull(250gp): Noro
2. Wand Of SNA(7), Lesser Bracers of Archery: Calah
3. Rusting MWK Cold Iron Sickle, Wand of CMW(12): Kyranda
4. 2 MWK daggers & 1 MWK Silver Dagger : Arjun
5. Wand of Mirror Image(23): Dimitrious
6. Coat with silver buttons(120gp), Feather token, Scrimshaw blade: Suny

That leaves us with the harp and tusk to sell for 900gp/7= 128.6 gp

At work

BUTTONS! SHINY! (^_^)

Really? Sorry, but is a harpoon exotic weapon?

Heck.... just swing the blunt end as a club? If it's got magic/enchantment on it... (^_~)

Much cheers to all.

Thank'e Dimitrious. (^_^)

Sunny really wants to go in style considering that coat with silver buttons.

(^_^)

Well.. I got's ta' learn lots of stuffs about tha' way other people's stuff works, right?

*Continues to fiddle about and play with said 'buttons'...*

A'sides, they's so shiny! (^_^)

Alright to clear up confussion, who is doing what for the morning? Are you exploring the island? Scouting the ship? or Waiting for others to scout the ship and then exploring the island together? Or something else?

My vote is for exploring the island all together today while those two who want to accompany Suny and Calah work themselves out. Then, on the evening./night Calah, M'self and the two others sneak back to the ship to see about how much dissent there is.

On the last day? Gather all the supplies/things we've found and head back... hopefully with our allies awaiting our return and thence we have the kerfuffle?

Much cheers to all. (^_^)

this. Also Jax isn't good at swimming or sneaking so he can't be part of the sneak team.

Alright to clear up confussion, who is doing what for the morning? Are you exploring the island? Scouting the ship? or Waiting for others to scout the ship and then exploring the island together? Or something else?

I thought we were going to be exploring today, then tonight scout out the ship and make our move the next night.

Scout today. Sneak tonight.

How far away is the Man's Promise from the shore?

My understanding and feel free to correct me if I am wrong, is that everyone but Arjun went inland for some exploring. Arjun stayed behind to do a little recon.

The Man's Promise is about one hundred yards from shore.

I asked him to come along but all that boy wants to do is build castles in the sand 8>)

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Just an FYI, I will be incommunicado this weekend. I am heading down to monterey with the wife. Feel free to bot me

Hope you have a great time! (^_^)
