Kiltem makes up for it with the fog.

Remember, the two closer dogs (white and brown?) are under in the influence of a calming spell. Kiltem will be upset if they were slaughtered for no reason.
The two further dogs we may have to kill.

FYI, I'm still keeping track of XP and treasure/plunder

I normally track party treasure under the "party bucket" header on my character sheet.
But since as an entire pirate crew we sacked the village, I tracked the 1 plunder under the Plunder tab in the campaign records.
Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Does someone want to take point and post about Skittlefoot’s burial at sea?

Then I think we need to get back on track with another raid. Plunder to obtain and a debt to pay

Ack sorry I just did a little post. Have to shower and leave for work tonight.

Heads up everyone. I'll be AFK from Friday 1300ish until Tuesday 0700. I will do my best to check in once per day, but I'm expecting it to be a bit difficult (I'll be in Washington DC as pit crew for my fiancee as she runs a marathon.)

I'll put my name in for the

-cloak
-ring

in that order of preference (only going for an item if I didn't already get one)

just the chain shirt and ring for Ko...he's not the cloaking type...besides, he's so tall, would probably look like a little kid trying to use a bib as a cape.

1d20 + 1000 ⇒ (16) + 1000 = 1016<- jk

Kilt already has an Amulet of Nat Protection.

So doesnt need to be in on any treasure

Can we award some of this gear to our crew? We have a few halfling/gnome that could benefit

yes I see it on my screen to, kind of annoying.

Slappy claims one of the MW studded leathers. He also claims one of the thunderstones, and one of the tanglefoot bags.

Going back into party loot is his Studded Leather.

So Ko has the +1 chain mail armor.

There is still the +1 ring of protection and cloak of saving throws for Lucky and the Capitan. Do you guys want to roll again? Or just assign? But lets get this stuff divied up

Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Lucky 1d20 ⇒ 17

So Lucky gets the cloak and the Capitan will get the ring. It is so decided.

I find that one of the keys to success for a good thief is being prepared--meaning you've got what you need at your fingertips. Therefore, I suggest Lucky holds the Bag of Holding. (also, a place to put the loot he steals)
Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

More housekeeping notes

All magical items have been assigned, UPDATE your character!

Now there is also some good mundane loot.

There is 5 tanglefoot bags. I think we should each take one. They can be useful. Hell, Kappi killed a freaking white dragon with one!

There are also 3 Thunderstones. People should take these. I think Lucky should have at least one. One should also go to Ko (as a mundane player).
Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Treasure has been updated under the Party Bucket header on Kiltem's character sheet. check it out and claim anything you want. Let me know and I'll update.

There is a masterwork rapier, Delgado should be jumping all over this. Maybe it was overshadowed by magical items.

I looked at Ko's character sheet. He should have the magical Tidewater Cutlass. +1 magical and has the water/bullrush ability 1/day.

As much as I’m loathe to do so, I suppose it’s time to try some ship to ship combat. I’m not overly impressed with the rules that are written, but then again I don’t have all sources and I might not have the best understanding of them.

Ship Combat Rules

...but there aren't other ships?
MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

There are definitely ships to attack. While I'm not loathe to do so, I'm leery. I looked over the rules Rich and Joe put together a while and they seem good, but outside my Pathfinder mindset.

So here's what I propose; let's do one by the book and then do a post mortem on them after and suggest rules. The rules were designed with table top in mind, not PbP, so we can tweak whatever works.
Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Kiltem has been waiting to use Warp Wood in ship combat. Please be prepared for possibly unorthodox uses of magic
Male Gnome Bard (Thundercaller) 7 AC: 17 Touch 14 FF 14 : HP: 58/58 Per: +17 Init: +2: Fort: +4 Ref: +8: Will +6

@Kiltem. Make sure you read the rules regarding warp wood (and other spells) vs ships. It has changed.

@DMS. I hear ya, we can always modify. Looking back loathe was a strong word. I think leery is a better choice.

@everyone. Is there somewhere we can get 30xp each. If we do, then Kiltem can cast remove curse on our unlucky Lucky. I won’t get 3rd lvl spells till 7th level.
Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

I'll look up Warp Wood.

Kiltem can leap over the side of the ship and wildshape into a dangerous cephalopod and starting killing undersea creatures till he levels up.

....which raises Kiltems DC so when we kill him, we get enough XP!

To earn XP, the threat of death must be real. Village or ship, you'll earn it when you earn it!

re the ship rules...I am up for trying them, but very reticent. They look very cumbersome at the table, let along PbP...what about doing one of:

1) A single check to determine the context of a boarding situation...its either even, or one side has the advantage...advantage being a surprise round.

OR

2) Doing a simple skill challenge with predefined results (PCs succeed the GM removes an enemy or two from the boarding action and the PCs have surprise round) vs (PC's fail, they all take 1d6 damage, and the baddies have a surprise round).
MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Let me read them over again, I'll likely find a happy medium. If something sucks though, I'll absolutely ditch it. I'm looking at (not an exaggeration) almost 1000 pages of papers to grade. I'll be on it, but slow for a bit.

Someone updated the XP.

Sorry for moving slow.

Level 5 Hps 1d8 ⇒ 8

I did spend a precious skill point in Spellcraft, now hopefully I can assist Slappy with that.
I also spent another on Healing. Seems to come up a fair amount.

Note: I now have the Natural Spell feat. Can cast spells while WildShaped, so generally will now stay in wildshape for up to 5 hours at a time while adventuring.

It may be best for Slappy to carry the Wand of CLWs since Kiltem can't use/access it in Deinonychus or Squid form

Cool.

Would this feat be ok (assuming prereqs)

Cornugan Smash
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Intimidate 6 ranks.

Benefit: When you damage an opponent with a Power Attack, you may make an immediate Intimidate check as a free action to attempt to demoralize your opponent.

Looks like its from: Pathfinder Chronicles – Cheliax: Empire of Devils

Just asking cause its not in my hero lab, lol

Dude, Odric had Cornugon Smash and I loved it. The "worst" thing though, he usually either one-shotted everything he went toe to toe with, or at the very least reduced it to a smeared bloodstain by the end of his turn... so he only very rarely got the benefit in combat.

He also had something else to get free intimidate checks... I forgot what though.
MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

I'm cool with that. Most of the northerners in this part of the world have ties to Cheliax, so it makes narrative sense.

It’s fun :-)
