GM Ragged's Core Rules Souls for Smuggler's Shiv

Game Master waynemarkstubbs

Smuggler's Shiv- the name sends shivers down the spine of even the most hardened Shackles pirate, Mwangi slaver or Sargavan corsair. A grave to a hundred unlucky ships, the island is populated with fierce monsters, dread horrors and savage cannibals. Not the place you would want to be shipwrecked.

But you are.

OK with me as well. I'll be back online Monday.

Everyone back with us?

Yup.

OK- quick reminder. Corin, Corliss and Sizara are the the top of the cliff. The cannibals have run away. They have spotted an old ramshackle hut in the distance.

Karia and Sasha are at the bottom of the cliff with a cannibal who is rapidly bleeding to death.

It is late afternoon, it will be twilight in about 2-3 hours, and there is a big storm moving in, due to hit in about 2.5 days.

Tiring but good. Cosmic Captive is a beast, but really cool. The pregen specials are neat.

What's that?

well, I was going to tell you next time you rested, but you are ready to level up.

And can spoil the ending for us? (Just kidding! ;P )

Sweet! How do we determine hp going forward?

Also, as a reminder for me and Karia, I believe we've got some magic stuff that still needs to be identified. Corliss will be taking a rank in Spellcraft to help in that regard.

It went pretty well. It is really dense with a lot of stuff going on (on the GM side) but worth playing if you get a chance.

Would you like us to wait until we rest to level, or would you like us to level now?

The easiest approach would be to decide to rest overnight in the hut - then you can do it now.

For hp, you can either choose half the hit-die plus one, or roll here.

In character, Corin probably wants to push on to keep pace with the cannibals. Out of character, it is probably a good idea to level before we raid a camp full of cannibals. :)

We'll be camping, Karia is not happy with Corin's plans and is going to argue against them strongly.

So time will be spent talking again.

Sooo, are we resting, and gaining a level yet?
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1

So I'm taking roused anger rage power which allows me to rage even while fatigued and also become immune to the fatigue condition. In other words, if I'm already fatigued and I start raging, the fatigue condition goes bye bye.

The downside to this rage power is that once I stop raging I'm exhausted for 10 minutes per round I was raging. But it should help us out when we need Sizara's raging fury!

Thank you Pathfinder Strategy Guide for the advice. I'll probably take the animal fury rage power next to represent her connection with her animal spirit the cheetah becoming stronger. Plus, seeing an elf ripping an enemy's throat out with her teeth will probably send the baddies running for the hills!

Karia took a level in Rogue, I think we need someone to handle traps.

Skills changes:

Acrobatics + 1
Climb + 1
Diplomacy + 1
Disable device + 1
Knowledge Engineering + 1
Knowledge Nature + 1
Linguistics (Azlanti) + 1

Sense Motive + 1
Stealth + 1
Survival + 1

That's true actually. I guess you could go back and forth between the two classes.

Really just need the one level for the magic traps, the other skills are pretty much the same between Bard and Rogue (aside from Disable device).

Ah I see. That makes sense.

Corliss has been updated. I invested his 3 skill points into Diplomacy, Knowledge (religion), and Spellcraft.

Does anyone have a list of magic items we still need identified? Corliss is now able to make a feeble attempt at IDing stuff.

@GM: Did you ever answer my earlier question about hit points when we level? I did half (rounded down this level, will round up next, then alternate).

Never mind--you did. :)

Don't forget you can cast guidance to improve your chances, and if any of the rest of use can use detect magic and are trained in Spellcraft then we can assist you (and vice versa).

I was at the doctor's earlier and then I went with my mom to find a birthday gift for my grandmother. So I'm sorry if I just posted.

This is mostly (totally?) metagaming, but maybe we could check out the "old camp" on the Shiv map (NE of the assassin vine/berries) and make at least a temporary camp in the highlands thereabouts.

Sorry for the brief hiatus - I'm currently between jobs and every hiring manager in London has suddenly arrived back from holiday and wants applications, tech tests, phonecalls, interviews etc. This means I have to spend loads of time doing that, and, worst of all, actually iron some shirts! I've been a bit distracted. I'll post something later this evening.

And just as the game starts up again, it's time for my weekly 43+-hour odyssey from the internet and these boards. If anyone (GM or player) wants to bot Corliss for a round or two to keep things going, feel free.

Maybe it's just me, but...I could use an Initiative Order list. I see you mentioned going with posting order, but with a couple of PCs readying actions I'm kinda bamboozled at this point.

Yeah, I'm just doing you a map as well. Gimme a sec.

Very worried about what has happened to my character. This isn't good.
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1

Wait...I just remembered: we have alchemist's fire! Whoever has it, toss it quick!

LOL. I thought about that earlier and then totally forgot it again. Probably because I'm pretty sure we never got around to deciding who actually is carrying what.

Let me check on Corliss's carrying capacity. He'd definitely have taken at least one alchemist's fire in case of swarms unless it would slow him down.

EDIT: Looks like Corliss is a bit over a Light load (unless he ditches his sling stones--5 lbs.??!! Really??!!) So chances are he'd have at least 1 of the alchemist's fires (assuming GM approval).
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1

Lol! That would be good. Besides the fire might even knock Sizara out of her trance. Especially if it causes intense pain to the yellow musk creeper.

I'm at DragonCon this weekend. I'll post my action when I get a chance.

How long does DragonCon last?
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1

I think a couple of weeks but I could be wrong.

"DragonCon log...day 37... have eaten nothing but Doritos and Reece's Cups for the last 3 days...3 delegates medevaced with scurvy...one guy was spotted with an unopened bottle of Mountain Dew - the crowd tore him apart - I was lucky to escape. Was forced to buy a 3 Wolf Moon Tshirt from a vendor so I had some clothes that actually flexed. Have rolled so many dice that my D20s are now worn down, almost spherical...only another 23 days to go...then end is in sight."

GreySector has obviously been delayed - maybe Normie got him. I'll bot Corin for now to avoid further delays.
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1

So we are not using the alchemist's fire against the creeper?

I would have thought that would be the best option against it.
