They are in the officer's quarters where you can't see them. They retreated and locked the doors.
Yeah I missed that. Not sure why. I read that post I though we were all standing there.
Who did we lose in the mutiny?
We are still in the middle of it.
They retreated into the officer's quarters with the Captain. They are trying to negotiate.
No one has died so far.
I'll be away and have spotty posting from Thursday the 13th (+8 GMT) until Tuesday the 18th.
Easter's tomorrow so bot when necessary please.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I came down with some kind of throat infection on Friday. I spent 70% of the last week asleep, and the rest in a fever haze. I'm feeling a lot better now, though, and I hope to be posting a lot more consistently from now on.
Apologies from me too, I have no such reason, just small children and the sleep deprivation that often results.
Same here. Been busy with work. I'll try and have a post up sometime tomorrow.
I should be back to posting regularly sometime next week.
Did Patch cast another spell? That was my round3 target.
You weren't(and could not get) close enough to hit Patch so I had you hit Kipper.
Gotcha.
Patch was going to escape and float away and be such a cool returning villain if it weren't for you meddling pirates. *cough*Morgan*cough*
Mwah ha ha.
Well you did say you wanted a ranged character! Typically the rolls came in at the wrong time for 'poor' little Patch.
Sorry about the slow week guys. I've been unwell. Will grey an update in this weekend.
So, for candidates for the captaincy we have Jord Sturmsson, Reinald Malcoms, and Jerieth I believe?
Yes
What's happening please. ? I'd hate for this game to fall apart.
Ditto
Yep ditto as well, still here.
I'm here too. I believe we were about to have a vote
Is anyone going to want a secret ballot in character?
Otherwise we can call for a show of hands. Or stand by our person.
Hmm... almost two weeks without a peep.
I think either way works
I'm here as well. Been a busy few weeks for me as well but I'm still here. And yes Jerieth will toss her hat into the ring for the role as captain. Although she'll go around and call herself co-captain if she loses. ;P
I did think of a good name for our ship: Rising Gale.
I got the name from an old painting (that's the title of the painting), and I thought it would make a great name for a pirate ship. What do the rest of y'all think?
We'll vote on ship names next. We have until we get it overhauled to decide. Then we need to design our Jolly Roger!
There are generally roles for ships officers.
1st Mate-
Master of Sail-
Gunner
Ship's Dr
Quarter Master
There are others. Depending on what sort of roles you want or where you can have as a sphere of influence on the ship.
Where do you see yourself.
I PMed the GM. Its been since the 8th that Diamond has posted here. Hoping for good news.
Good work on PMing the GM. We can't go much further without him.
I would see Morgan in either the Master of sail role (I think I have the highest prof Sailor with a Reroll and a good knowledge geog score) but I am unsure with it's position of senior warrant officer as my charisma is low and he isn't much of a leader. Alternatively possibly Gunner with Morgan's ranged skills, but I assume we would need an exotic weapon proficiency which I don't have.
Ok everyone. It's been a bad few weeks for me healthwise but I'm here again.
Now what I was going to do was just let you guys decide the 'jobs' that you wanted, vote on who is the new captain and then you can decide the position that you want the NPC's in. They are your allies and I was going to have them support your decision on captain (at least the friendly ones will, what the others do you will find out when you wake them).
Let me read the gameplay posts you have made and I'll post here again.
Glad you are back, I hope you are on the mend.
I am. Much better now thanks.
Hmm, that's interesting about the difference in importance of the Quartermaster role between the Navy and a pirate vessel.
In the navy, the quartermaster just distributes supplies issued by the government. On a pirate ship, they control division of the loot. It's really the same function, but in the case of the pirate ship, the loot itself is the whole purpose of the ship. I can see how a pirate Quartermaster would be much more powerful and respected than a navy one.
Yes Grok was Quartermaster before. Plugg was the first mate/boatswain, Scourge the Master-at-arms. I envision you all being pretty much equals in this game and I don't think Reinald will go all "I'm the captain!" on you. Also the last sailing master plugg used is the captive from this very ship, Jiran Conway (currently unconscious). You might ask/push him into the job.

So would it make more sense for us to go with 1st Mate or Boatswain for Jeireth rather than Quartermaster?
I know when I researched this I found lots of similar but conflicting info.
Probably because every pirate crew ran things a bit differently
Diamonddust, what would someone need to operate the ballista? Exotic weapon proficiency I assume.
You can use it without proficiency of course but with the usual penalties.
Each type of siege weapon requires a different exotic weapon proficiency feat. Though if wanting proficiency in more than one you may as well get the Siege Engineer feat.
Thanks.
Just for fun, are you smart enough to survive the high seas!

Really bored, waiting for mates to turn up for wargames day!
Edit:- weird, link won't work, neither did siege engineer link.
Reinald = Captain
Genade = Ship's Doctor
Jord = Master at Arms
Morgan = Sailing Master/Master Gunner?
Jerieth = Quartermaster?
Sejanus = Quartermaster?
So you need to finalise: Quartermaster, Sailing Master, Master Gunner, Boatswain. Perhaps you want to give the last officer spot to one of your allies, of which Sandara was the most helpful from the start in helping you.
I will put the rest of the crew half as riggers and half as swabs. The only other question is what do you want to do with owlbear?
Its totally up to you guys but I think if we continue with Quartermaster like Grok who keeps track of goods then. Jerieth's climb and sail skill are a solid fit.
The Boatswain (often shortened to Bosun) is the one in charge of organizing and disciplining the basic crew, and one who would lead a team on a small boat launch, if I recall correctly. How about Sandara for Boatswain?
I like the idea of Sandara for Boatswain. As for me, I think my character would work as First Mate, given her diplomatic skills and abilities. It would help keep order as well as lift the crew's spirits. Especially since I'm trying to make Jerieth be the diplomat, backup healer, and backup arcane caster.
And what do y'all think of naming the ship Defiant Gale? Tried to come up with a name that was a compromise of mine and Sejanus's ideas.
So Sejanus quartermaster and Jerieth Boatswain.
So is this ok with everyone?
Reinald = Captain
Genade = Ship's Doctor
Jord = Master at Arms
Morgan = Master Gunner
Jerieth = First Mate
Sejanus = Quartermaster
Sandara = Boatswain
Jiran = Helmsman/Sailing Master
Fishguts = Cook
That leaves 9 crew for swabbing and rigging if you put Owlbear to work. You're two under minimum of 20 to sail without penalty but you can still move.
I'll get owlbear trained up as a right good deckhand/swabby and aid to the Master at Arms at making sure the lads run the ship right.
We could hire a necromancer to raise us a skeleton crew ;D
I though we had a resident mad scientist for that.. Mr Frankenstein I presume.
The vivisectionist archetype is more of a Dr. Moreau
