Con season is upon us, and in just two months, I will be running the game room for CoastCon (Biloxi, MS - March 16-18 if anyone is interested). This does mean that for the next two months, my life is very hectic and gaming must take a back seat. I'm not dropping, just giving warning that my posting may be slightly curtailed (more than usual). If I'm holding things up, just go ahead and bot me if necessary, though I will try to check in at least every other day (except weekends, most of which I will be busy).
If you're in one of my games, I'm apologizing now for any unnecessary delays. Just hang in there and we will plug through.
As far as a discussion of loot goes:
Chumtooth is interested in the girdle of giant strength (I'm guessing everyone else is, too) and the doses of bloodroot poison.
While he can wear the breastplate, he is a mobile, agile fighter, and it will actually inhibit his movement - so he's not really interested in it.
Likewise, the spiked gauntlets aren't really his thing (they do less damage than his morning star anyway).
Breastplate not really a thing for pirates, anyhow.
Melt it down, can you, wizard?
Well, we can sell it and buy or craft new stuff. I'm not aware of a way to melt it down and use it for other items.
And I don't see anything there of interest to Dantes. At some point, I'd like to put into a larger port long enough to sell loot and get crafting supplies.
Does this mean there is no objection to me claiming the Belt of Giant Strength?
Please speak up if there is, I don't want to presume.
No objections here.
No, go ahead. I think there are indeed 3 people interested, but we need to divide the loot, obviously.
If there is any way to up my low AC, that would be nice, in my book :-)
Ok then. Just wanted to be sure.
As an offering of good faith, I throw the headband of whatever (Charisma) back into the pile of loot to be sold. It's not really doing anything meaningful for me anyway.
If nobody minds, I'll put in on. Can help my bluff, which is a boon in combat if I don't get my flanking.

It seems that I may have been negligent with tracking hit points, so in that vein, I am adjusting everyone's current hit point values to assume that everyone had full hit points at the start of this battle. I try to update the values at the top of the thread everytime something happens so that they are correct. Please check them every so often to ensure that your notes are in accordance with mine and let me know of any discrepancies.
Sorry I'm not being more helpful to the cause here. When we get some downtime with cash in a port, I'll do some crafting and scribing to make Dantes more versatile and less fragile.
I'm back. Wow, I hope the outages are done.
Good to go whenever everyone else is. Strangely, it didn't notify me of any new posts in the discussion thread, or I would've answered sooner.
I had the same lack of notifications as well. I think it was part of the aftermath of the series of outages. Now that I've clicked into each of my game threads, it seems to be working again.

Just a note to let everyone know that I am in the direct path of Hurricane Gordon. This should be fairly routine (I've weathered many such storms), but in case we lose power or I am otherwise out for a few days, that's what has happened. If you are in my game, stand tight and I'll be back. If I am in yours, please bot me as necessary.

This is a brief message to let everyone know that I am going to be on vacation from Sunday, 23 September until 1 October. As many of you may be aware, my wife is 90% blind from glaucoma. She wanted to see Walt Disney World through the eyes of friends who have never been (or haven't been in many years) before she can't see at all. So I, she, and 9 of our friends are all going to Walt Disney World for a week!
During this time, my posting will be greatly curtailed, if not nonexistent. If you are in my game, I will continue upon my return, just sit tight. If I am in your game, please feel free to bot me as required.
During this week leading up to my vacation, I will be very busy and may be slowed, but I will try to get a post out before leaving for the week.
Enjoy your trip. I hope your wife is able to take in a lifetime of beautiful moments while she’s there!
For the next week and a half, I am going to be in the process of moving. That means my time online may be spotty since I’ll be off work (where I am often able to post on breaks) and without home internet as utilities are switched. I’ll try to post regularly still, but feel free to bot me at any time if I am holding things up.
Has Satinder abandoned ship?
We could use two, in my opinion; a healer type and a skill type. I think we have all the other bases covered.
Any headway on recruiting new crew mates?
I like Kaede for healer (she can CHANNEL!!), and we could certainly use Alexander for extra skills and buffing.
I only see good choices there. As long as they are comfortable with our pacing and know that we are skipping sections that may not translate well to PbP, I am fine with any of them.
We could take all three, and that would put us back to a party of six.
Welcome aboard. Glad to have you with us!
way hey, roll an' go! greetings folks, thanks for having me.
Thanks for selecting me, I look forward to much larceny and loot with you.
A couple of questions. Kaede is CG, though being Shackles born and bred her definition of good is probably a lot looser then other places. Should I change it to CN to fit her in better?
As I said in the application Kaede covers Healer, cook and crew. What role did she have on your ship prior to her moving up to the way team?
Thank you folks, I will get numbers finalized and a vote up tonight.
Hey guys, sorry, with the hiatuses and my real life I have indeed neglected to keep up with the story.
You did the right thing, continueing without me. I wish you the strongest of winds, and cap'tain, keep my baby safe!
Hope you don't mind me checking in on you now and again. Would love to see where the story goes.

It has been a very busy week, much of which was spent with my parent whom I was visiting. I have a con this weekend, and I have some family business to take care of next week. I may be a few more days between posts, but don't worry. When I get everything straightened out, I'll be back on the action bandwagon. In the meantime, sit tight, or if I am in your game, please bot me as necessary.

Update: My wife's elderly aunt has been moved into a care facility. My wife and I are tasked with clearing out her room of all her belongings and finding a place to store them. We have about 10 days to do this, and we have our own affairs to worry about as well. To complicate things, she has lost several savings bonds and other important papers (like her will) in her room, so we can't just go in and bulldoze the place. We have to look for the papers as we pack. It's slow going and very tedious, so until we get the room vacated, my posting will be limited, but I will try to keep pace as much as possible.
How are things with your family, WhtKnt?
