GM bloodred Skulls and Shackles

Game Master Alexander Sabadosa

I am going to skip the roll against the rum. My fort is high enough I can't fail unless you count 1 as auto fail.
Job: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Water Spout feels a little downtrodden at the thought of killing innocent life but he also knows such creatures can spread all kinds of diseases.
DEX: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
He catches enough mice and other vermin to look like a good days work. He uses his spare time to influence Tilly.
Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 3
That's a nope.
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Warren dresses in his tight pirate pants and asks Grok
"Can I have the fiddle from the lockup?"
diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Warren looks at his job assignment
swab job: 1d6 ⇒ 1

STR/CON checks: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 131d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
He does a good job but ends up tired again.
If hasn't gotten the fiddle yet he tries again. If he has the fiddle, he works on Tilly to improve her attitude.

Diplomacy Tilly to influence: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

In the evening Dinali will round up the poor fellows shanghaied with her.
"Now listen up you slags, this is not a friendly ship. And I know everyone wants to be real cozy with everyone and crawl in their hammock for a little nighttime romp. But honestly some of you are not good at it. I mean ok thats fine not everys mommas son is a beauty. So what. Hang on to someone who knows to win people and help them and follow their lead. You will get some friends true. It works. Because if you slimetongued chaps try to find friends and you really botch it, you make our live sooo much harder. Now there is a game on the streets thats called push and pull. Someone pushes you and the other guy pulls your wallet. We can do the same here. I guess you can tell Warren and me whom you think is your next loverboy. And he or I, we will go over and play a nice round of Have you met Ted. You smile, you nod and everyone is happy."
If you really botch your diplomacy the guy starts to hate us. Wich makes the lives really hard for those who are dedicated charmer. Please use the aid another option, and yes we burn two actions per night, but honestly its much better than the other way round. I know it kind of sucks if someone is better and you want to make your own friends, but sometimes live gives you oranges and you will have a hard time making apple juice from it.

1d2 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 4
Kroop is drunk and I have to do turtle fishin

survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Rachel spends the day hunting turtles. She gets enough for today, but not enough to make an exquisite meal like you are used to from her.

To Dinali Rachel says.
"Don't worry your pretty face lass, I'm friendly enough with the crew and I can make friends just fine."

For the night Rachel will try to make Giffer Tibbs her friend.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
already friendly, should be helpful now

"I do not mean your blues."

Save vs Rum: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 burrr
Given the way the rum affects her she decides to turn in to recover.

Swab Job: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Hauling Rope
Sailor: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Hmm, can't actually fail that one
Fatigue Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Akadi will aid Dinali in Diplomacy Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Or not

Save vs Rum: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Finally Akadi retires to sleep early again, fatigued from the hard days work on the ropes.

Tilly-->Indifferent or Unfriendly (not sure what he was at) (Spout)--->Helpful or Indifferent (Warren)
Giffer----> Helpful (Rachel)
Shivikah--->Friendly (Rachel)

@Spout i do not when it comes to skills.

I will Penalize any solo attempt of less then 10 for diplomacy. Unless of course 10 is all you need. but generally if the DC is 15 and you get a 9 im going to move them down, Also DC 25 min is 15. Just for this sort of Diplomacy. And starting with Spouts roll of 3.
During Night Time- You gain a +2 from a NPC character for Diplo starting on Day 4.
During Day Time- One NPC near you will help you with a +2 on your job if you need it Also starting Day 4.

Night Time actions if you havent yet. Then Day 4. (anyone with an action in the Bilges needs to re-roll. DO NOT TAKE NIGHT ACTIONS.

Sleep. Bide my time until the next combat since I am not cut out for diplomacy apparently.

Nighttime action.
Dinali will dance for the crew
dance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Next morning´s call she will rush up to hear what the brass has in store for her.
daysdutys: 1d6 ⇒ 6
As she is chummy with all the riggers Dinali will work Diligently. It is a backbreaking job. Adding the +2 and Diligently on Fortitude
ProfS: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Fort+2+Diligently: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Swab Job: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Runner
Acrobatics isn't my forte, so work Diligently for +4

Fatigue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Warren wakes up after refreshed after his exhausting day.
job: 1d6 ⇒ 2
stealth: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
He catches many rats and has time to chat up Tilly again, trying to recruit her to come to some prayer sessions with the rest of the crew.

diplomacy to influence: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Swab Job: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Swabbing the decks. I'll work diligently and get some martial practice in.
Constitution: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 16

1d2 ⇒ 2
1d6 ⇒ 6
There seems to be a special occasion as Captain Harrigan wants to slaughter one of the pigs for a special meal. Unfortunately Kroop is drunk and Rachel has to do all the cooking.

survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
prof cooking: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Despite having to do all the hard work on her own, Rachel is able to make a lovely meal for everyone with pork ribs, pork belly and pork stew for everyone. Captain Harrigan also gets lovely succulent pork cheeks.

About Mid Morning you notice the figure of Jack Scrimshaw rushing onto Deck. (He runs up from the bilges so everyone notices)

Raising his voice
"I seem to be in need of some volun-tolds" You there Dinali, Warren, Akadi and those two Undines I need you below in the bilges right now!! I want you to find Whatever Bit Jack and be back up here on the double."

Once you make it down to the Bilges roll perception.
Also make a fortitude saving throw. (DC 15 +1/Hr)

Climbing down Dinali follows Master Pigs orders.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Akadi grins, "The rats scaring you Jack?" she calls as she descends down to the Bilges.
Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Just a few rats? Bah ye shouldn't bother the cook with that rubbish."

Rachel casts produce flame so one hand has an orb of fire circling it.

-Posted with Wayfinder

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
"Let's go get these rats. I have seen them the size of dogs in the bilges."

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Something bit you? Did you happen to see how big or what it was?
Once he says what he knows I'll head down too.
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

@Spout "Big as Dogs"
@Warren- Fort Save please
Anyone failing the Fort Save takes Nonlethal: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Place yourselves in the Bilges, Any square with a blue border is covered in water and is considered to be flooded, you can wade in the flooded water if you like.

FORT: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

8/8hp 4 nonlethal damage

I shouldn't be flatfooted where I am but the lines are drawn a little weird so I am not sure. If not move me back so I am solid ground. Also, does having a swim speed help at all?

4 non-lethal

Guys, be ready. I don't think we are dealing with just rats.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

a DC 30 at level 1 is quite challenging
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

unreachable more like :p even with a 20 I won't make it and I have a high wis

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Spout- No since you arnt actually swimming a Swim Speed shouldnt help here.
@Dinali,Rachel - Sorry i know its pretty unreachable.

So i can do one of two things.

Option 1: Surprise Round- They act and then we use the initiatives.
Option 2: I let them act first unless you have a very nice roll in the initiative, they dont get an extra round. Then on the second round we take into account the init rolls.

The problem as i see it. You have no idea where they are other then in the bilges. If i allow you your own turn you have a chance to plumb the water but depending on how that could be semi-Dangerous.

(Spout checking the water with his foot, I see his foot getting bit)

I think Option 1 or 2 sufficiently take care of the problem by allowing them to act first and let you guys know where they are.

I guess we know rats are down here--so being surprised by rats would be difficult. And we can do productive things like ready an attack at the first exposed rat that pops out even without seeing them. So maybe we do option 2. Just my 2cp.

Go for second. It's only a couple of rats so I'd say lets hurry the combat :)

I prefer a surprise round since they only get one action.

Option 2 it is- Rats will be Green, Blue, Red, Orange)
Green Attack Spout 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Red Attack Spout 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Blue Attack Dinali 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Orange to flank and Attack Spout 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Dinali please remember that you dont have armor or a shield.

If you are hit, Onset: 1d3 ⇒ 2
You can save now or later and ill take the first save as happening during the Onset. If you would like to wait thats okay too. If you decide that you would not like to wait, Roll another save and on 2 successes you are cured.

Im trusting that you wont preview and choose to wait until the onset.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
After the bite, Dinali is a bit distracted and her attack misses.
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
From now on she prepares to parry and riposte.

Roll 20 doesn't show anything flanking me but I'll take your word on it.

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Fort I assume for the bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Attack one rat (the one to the bottom) and trip another.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Opportunity attack if rat gets up near me.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Would using my shocking touch attack have any odd effects with the rats in the water?
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Touch Attack with shocking touch, or attack with club if Akadi thinks that's a bad idea.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 +3 from Str if with club (may as well wield 2-handed)
And never mind, that's a really poor attack roll

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Warren fires a bolt of force at the most injured or smallest rat.
mm: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

assuming you roll inits

Rachel walks up to the closest rat and tries to burn it with the floating fire in her hand.
touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
fire dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

-Posted with Wayfinder

26@Rachel- I can if you would like but i generally have you guys do it so that its ur luck and not mine. Init For Rachel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Damage on Rat is good, i believe you actually kill the one your touching.

20@Water Spout- Im going to have you attack red and trip Orange, Since green would have melted from Rachel before you got a chance to hit it. Your attack and Damage on red miss. your trip on orange is good.

19@Dinali- Attack misses, Also if you would like to spend the Panache point to try and parry the first attack i will allow.

17@Warren- Your missile hits red (the one that spout attacked) and a plume of water is shot into the air as your missile connects with the rat.

10@Akadi- Yes it would have had an adverse a(e)ffect i probably would have charged the water and dealt maybe half dmg to the closest rat and then 1 or 2 points as it radiates out. Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Rats will now act on init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Init Dinali: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

So Turn order is Post next turn as well as any answers or questions
Rachel
Water Spout
Dinali
Warren
Rats
Akadi

Separate Things
I need 1 more fort save from Dinali and Spout, Can either be now or in two game days.

Also does anyone have anything that i have forgotten?? IE: Rachels Cookware.

Since roll20 isn't responding right now I am fighting blind. Same full attack if I am within 5 feet of two targets Without going into the water.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

If I can't full attack I'll ready action to strike the first one that gets within range using the attack above.

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

AoO if available.

Round 2 init 17

Warren points and another bolt slams into the rat he injured before. mm damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Whoops, forgot the second one.

@Dinali: Im not going to roll the attack. We will assume that you beat it, and your riposte fails.

@Spout- In three days something bad happens (ill try to remember). your attack on orange and trip on red is good.

@Warren- Red is a Dead Rat.

Just waiting on Rachel i believe.

Raven go ahead and roll Init. and you will be starting above the bilges at the trap door.

Rachel pushes her fire into the closest rat.
touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Panache 3/4
Getting angry Dinali attacks the next rat, eager for blood.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6confirmation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5.
Confirmed crit, one point of panache back.
Ready to riposte

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

As a bolt of arcane energy takes out the rat before Water Spout he shifts his attention to the remaining foes. He bats one rats feeble attempt to bit him and retaliates. The blow felt awkward and carried little strength but the next was sure to be painful.

5-foot step, Attack Orange, Trip Blue.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

If I can't full attack I'll ready action to strike the first one that gets within range again using the attack above.

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

AoO if available.

Sorry Raven can you give a turn as well.

@Spout and Rachel, you guys are trying to move into the same spot. Currently im figuring on Rachel getting there First, and Burning Blue. Spot you killed Orange on its turn, when it tried to stand up. (just noticed that i didnt really give the rats a turn, not that it really mattered)

@Dinali- Unless Raven kills Blue, you will have killed Blue.

@Warren & Akadi- I think everything is dead

Er, is everything dead? If so...

Raevon rushes down the stairs into the bilges, and wrinkles his nose as it is assaulted with the stink of several freshly split open rats, made worse by the dank of the bilges. "Oh good, I thought I was intended to suffer alone," Raevon declares monotonously. "Glad to have others with whom to share such wondrous sights and smells."

Move Action - walk down the stairs
Standard Action - draw sap

Eying the pointy ears coming closer and drawing a sap dinalis eyes get a dangerous glint."What do you want to threaten us with. That little something. If you want a piece of me pack steel! Apart from that. Check around maybe we find something useful while we are down here. It might stink but at least we are away from the brass!
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Apart from that. Check around maybe we find something useful while we are down here. It might stink but at least we are away from the brass!
Taking 20 to check for any useful items.

Spout scratches at the wound from the rat but is otherwise no worse for the wear. He isn't quite sure what Dinali is looking for but, manning the bilges, he tries to get rid of the excess water.

Strength: 1d20 ⇒ 8

The extra water already down here is making things difficult and Spout begins to struggle.

Raevon clicks his tongue in disapproval. "Peace, little one. I was sent down to kill bilge rats, and I think the..." the half-elf trails off and waves his words aside. "Whatever title Scourge holds. I think he wasn't being metaphorical."

"Not to imply you're rats," Raevon adds with a smirk.
