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.

Who has any alchemists fire on them?

By the gods, my brain's becoming as scrambled as my character's! Since we found six vials, it's not a stretch to say that Corliss would be carrying multiple vials. After all, he's not prone to smashing into hard objects like reefs or cliff faces. :)

Yeah I think you do have several vials of alchemist's fire on you.

It's what you get for the constant flirting Corliss. Karia is already nagging. :)

It took years of alchemical research to perfect those glass bottles which are invulnerable while being carried, yet shatter flawlessly every time when thrown.
You can have multiple bottles on you, but in future sort our your character sheets! *wags finger*

With my rolls it's good that Karia hasn't used any. :(
So Michael Eshleman (Corin) hasn't been able to return to us for whatever reason. I hope he will - the man's a 5 star GM and obviously devoted to PF, so I don't imagine he would just wander off. Anyway, Corin has taken a bad headwound and thus will remain unconscious for the meantime.
So we have a number of options
1) Get a new player to play Sasha. I don't really want to do this as Sasha is an established character and, along with Archibald, a useful source of light relief.
2) Keep Sasha as an NPC, and get a new player to play Pamela. Pamela was barely defined as a character, so we can give the brief of "watery arcanist" and basically let someone build their own character.
3) Keep Sasha as an NPC, and introduce a new castaway - probably not from the Jenivere, but someone from another shipwreck.
Remember that you have located the berries to give to Aerys, which means she will be available to you as an NPC once she has them.
What do you think?
(Storm's a-comin' don't forget).

I like option 2 actually.

Option 2 gets my vote as well.

Looks like I'm already outvoted, but I like #3--let the new player create whatever sort of character he/she wants to play.

I could go for 3 as well, but really do think we need an Arcane caster of some form.

Darn I meant option three. Not two. Typing on an iPhone is hard!
Dot, might be the right one I am supposed to join.

I hope I didn't scare anyone. No I'm not leaving (I'm having way too much fun with y'all in this adventure!).
So I've been looking for a new job (I still have a job, just trying to find one that pays a bit more and is closer to home), and I've been doing it on my iPhone. The problem is that I forgot to take into account that I'm on my parents' data plan and I forgot to keep an eye on how much data I was using. Long story short, I used up a lot of data. So, we have 8 days left in the billing cycle before our data usage resets.
While this will reduce my posting rate a bit, I'm going to try and keep on posting on my laptop before and after work if possible. I just wanted to let everyone know about this and I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

I'm going to be without internet access until Monday afternoon (though I should have a brief posting window on Sunday). Bot my character as needed.

Putting my hand up for that leather armor.
Our melee fighters can have the amulet.
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1
I think Corin should take the amulet.

OK, Corin has the amulet, Karia has the armor, Corliss has the cutlass, and Hamual has the wand. You can look at the treasure list (also linked in my profile) for the distribution of other items.

Corin should probably hold the cutlass, as Corliss isn't proficient with it.
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1
Not sure what we should do with the masterwork leather armor. Also, there's the masterwork dagger too. Maybe Hamual should get the dagger.
Also, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping we come across a greatsword, or some other type of big weapon.
Sorry about the delay - I had laser eye surgery, and could barely see my hand in front of my face for 24 hours.
No worries, just glad you're ok
edit: I fixed my grammar

Hope you're feeling better, and the surgery was successful?

Welcome back. The Corliss part of my brain needs to ask: Did you get to wear an eyepatch at some point? ;)
I was rather hoping for some cool techie head-mounted borg-like thing, but the doctor just holds a thing that looks like a telescope lens up against your eye. Afterwards you're allowed to stagger off with a tissue.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news everyone, but my iPhone is acting up, so I'm trying to get it fixed (could be a software issue, or worse the battery is messed up). This will impact my posting rate some, but I'll still try and post as often as I can from my laptop before work.
So, keep y'all's fingers crossed. And I apologize about this. I'm concerned that my phone got messed up during the hurricane when I had numerous power surges prior to losing power when Matthews came through.
Okay....
Crisis averted! After looking online, I found that sometimes if you let your iPhone's battery drain to 0% (which you're supposed to do occasionally), the battery may not have enough juice to charge back up. According to what I found online, simply using a blow dryer to warm the phone up enough for say 5-10 minutes and then immediately plug your iphone into a charger, the iPhone starts right back up. Phew! Glad that's over.

While we take a day to relocate our camp, why don't we have this work breakdown (allowing the various NPCs to switch tasks as long as they are qualified for their tasks and we have at least two hunter/fishers, one camptender, one healer, and one guard):
- Hunter/Fisher: Sasha & Jask
- Camptender: Ishirou
- Healer: Gellik
- Guard: Aerys
The next day we can do this while all the PCs study under Sasha:
- Teacher: Sasha
- Hunter/Fisher: Jask
- Camptender: Ishirou
- Healer: Gellik
- Guard: Aerys
The following day all the PCs can read Aerys's poetry and we can go back to this schedule.
- Hunter/Fisher: Sasha & Jask
- Camptender: Ishirou
- Healer: Gellik
- Guard: Aerys
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1
I actually like this plan.
What do you want Hamual doing?

He will do his best to help, he would like study time with both of your friends though, he can be patient.
If I can craft a few of the Floating disk scrolls it will make moving things easier.

Sorry for not posting much recently...I've been trapped in a sort of 'no-man's-land' in regards to what to have Corliss do. Corin took the time to work out a schedule for a couple of days (which I really appreciate--that's not the kind of thing that I personally like to do in games), but then Hamual came up with a good idea that Sizara picked up on...but which also sort of trampled on Corin's schedule.
Right now, it looks like we've got a split party...and that's bad. I'm going to suggest a compromise: Let's all check the beach and explore the shipwreck and then go back and stick with Corin's schedule for the next couple of game days. As a player, I want to pick up the NPC boons ASAP (cuz if the NPCs get killed, kiss those boons goodbye!). Sound good?
EDIT: And while I think of it, I won't be able to post tomorrow but will be back on Monday.
Female Elf Female Elf Barbarian 1
Don't worry Corliss. Been in the same boat myself as well. So it's cool.

@Sizara - in the absence of a greatsword, you could quite easily find a branch or plank to serve as a greatclub, or a longspear.
So I have run into an error with hero lab and familiars, either they have changed a few of the out or deleted them. I had a Drain spider for Hamual from the ISWG but it is no longer a choice. I have traded it out for a lizard BUT I am still getting the alertness feat so I have to rebuild him in another file because of this error.
The Serpent's Skull AP is now sanctioned for Pathfinder Society Play. What this effectively means is that you pay no attention to this whatsoever until the end of the game, at which point I give you a Chronicle Sheet that you can apply to an appropriate Pathfinder Society character. So yet more incentive to make it off the Shiv!
I saw that yesterday too,so GM_Ragged you're ok with my familiar switch?

Quick Note: I'll probably be offline for the next couple of days (jury duty tomorrow (at the least); holiday Friday). I hope to catch up on Saturday and will give an update then if I actually get picked for a jury.
Hi all - I've been rather unwell hence the silence. Bear with me please, and I'll post a bunch of updates tomorrow.
