"Heshk Heshk heshk, lean over a little further, he likes it when you pet his belly."
Sunny nods absently at Grepplin's advice, happy to do so and get the most fun/happy times with the furry lil critter which has captured her attention. (^_^)
Ol' Salty sits silently, watching the goblin and elf closely.
Is the goblin evil or hostile towards anyone in the near vicinity?
How daft is the elf?
Hey, I'm respectfully bowing out of here. It seems like it will be one of those games where there are multiple little posts per day and I can only commit to one per day.
So you all have fun!
Viktorra stands, bewildered by the site before her.
"What be goin' on?" she asks of those gathered around her.
Suny continues to tickle, rub, fondle, pet, stroke and make 'cute' noises with the critter. Becoming more and more oblivious to her surrounding, so engrossed is she in her play time. (^_^)
Hey, I'm respectfully bowing out of here. It seems like it will be one of those games where there are multiple little posts per day and I can only commit to one per day.

Sorry to hear that, but you do have a fair point. Best of luck to ya
"Bloody'ell if I knows," the frowning pirate answers Viktorra as he looks in dismay at the goblin tickling. "Me's thinkin' I be gettin' a fine shag a moment ago. But all me knows now is, me needs a stiff drink..."
"A bottle o'rum, mate." Reijo places a few coins down for the barkeep.
A young man walks over from the corner, where he's been entertaining the crowd with some raucous tales of Cayden Cailean's exploits - curiously, in his version of the stories, the Lucky Drunk is a youth with blond curls and green eyes; a coincidence, surely, that this matches his own description. Dressed as he is in fine clothing of red, green and yellow, with broad-brimmed hat (complete, of course, with an outrageous peacock plume), he looks calculated to draw attention. It would be easy to dismiss him as a fop, but for the evident wear on the hilt of his fine rapier; and a certain wariness around the eyes.
He chuckles as he watches Suny playing with the otter. "Cute - and the pet isn't bad either." He flashes a broad smile, designed to be disarming, and bows, sweeping his hat off his mop of blond curls as he does so. "Willem is my name, but everyone seems to call me 'Kid', can't imagine why..." Another grin, and a flash of white teeth: he can't be any older than 16 or so, surely (although maybe there's a hint of something around the eyes that suggests otherwise). His nickname is evidently appropriate. He continues "I seem to have come into some coin, perhaps I might stand you a round of drinks? Or maybe more, if you like." Another friendly wink, and a bow towards the others - even more extravagant, if possible, than the first one. "And your friends, of course! Glad to make your acquaintance."
Suny continues to play with the awesome cuteness that is "Lil Fisher". (^_^)
Only absently waving in response to the latest person to say hello.
"Bloody'ell if I knows," the frowning pirate answers Viktorra as he looks in dismay at the goblin tickling. "Me's thinkin' I be gettin' a fine shag a moment ago. But all me knows now is, me needs a stiff drink..."
"A bottle o'rum, mate." Reijo places a few coins down for the barkeep.
"Well, least there be rum. I'll take one as well." Viktorra hands the barkeep coins too, then turns to Reijo and holds a hand out. "The name's Viktorra. And yours?"
Ol' Salty remained on the bench for a little longer. During that time, he pulled out his journal and quill, and began to draw Sunny playing with Lil Fisher. He whistled a little shanty that he learned from his father long ago, and felt at peace. Below his drawing, he wrote the following passages, recounting his experiences so far that day.
The goblin nearby however I do not trust. I'm quite surprised that the creature has managed to get past the guards without getting killed. I've got my trusty dagger at my side just in case, and I've still got enough spells today if need be. So far he hasn't done anything to be alarmed about, but I'll keep my eye on him.
Goblin notwithstanding, it's quite relaxing here, a good change from life at sea. The breeze is cool, but gentle, and all the sounds of merriment gives me peace of mind.
There was a young lass here not too long ago, never got her name though. A pity, as she was quite the sight, and had the sealegs to boot. I expect I'll see her later during the festivities, as no sailor worth his/her salt would miss a celebration of Cayden Cailean.
Oh and a new face as well. A young lad, he probably just reached adulthood. I saw him not long ago recounting some... misguided tales of the Lucky Drunk. Must be some inexperienced bard with a passion for the mirror *and he gives a little chuckle*. Can't blame him too much, though, as even when I was his age I didn't have a head of hair so vibrant. If he's willing to share a drink with the rest of us, I'd be happy to oblige. Quite a start to the day, I must say. I look forward to what awaits us as the day progresses.
"G'd mornin' to ya young Willem, I could use a good drink if you're willing t'elp an ol' man. Two months of grog is 'ard on the ol pipes, believe you me. If you're interested, I would be glad to talk to you about your renditions of Cayden Cailean. What say you?"
"Come now, lil Fisher, and your new friend too. What be your name, young elf? Hopefully somethin I can pronounce haha."
Willem makes a slightly rueful face as Suny ignores him, before seeing the funny side of it: "It's not every day I lose out to an otter for the attention of a girl!" he chuckles.
At Ol' Salty's remarks, he flashes a smile: "It would be my privilege to buy you a drink, Father - and yes, I freely admit my skill is in the telling of the tale, rather than the knowing of the facts... I'm sure you have the knowing of it better than I do. I'd gladly hear your thoughts. If you're off the grog, perhaps some elf-wine? Or a Chelish brandy? Wouldn't mind a change from grog myself, been sailing the last fifty - I mean fifteen... months or more."
Willem is fairly sure that he was a school lad when this old man was barely a gleam in his father's eye, but he's long ago learned that no one believes him. Sometimes he doesn't believe it himself.
Marithal "Mari" Seafoam
Female Undine Druid(Undine Adept) 4 | [Chaotic Neutral]
Marithal grew up in a small Undine settlement. She allways had a strongerconnetion with the sea than most Undines, which naturaly lead to her being traind as an Adept, but she was too unsteady to serve her comunity in that funktion. so one day she decided to leaf her village on a merchant vessal. she realy liked traveling the sea, but disliked the strikt struckures on Merchant vessels. Ariving in Lilywhite, after some adventures including pirate attacks, Marithal decided to get drunk(its Rum Punch festival after all :) )and hire on a pirate ship.
Marithal is a young Undine with light blue skin, eyes with the color of the stormy sea and turquoise hair (with a hairstyle that looks like seawead)

Special Abilities
Undine
Racial Abilities:
Normal Speed: Undines have a base speed of 30 feet on land. They also have a swim speed of 30 feet, can move in water without making Swim checks, and always treat Swim as a class skill.
Darkvision: Undines can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Spell-Like Ability: Hydraulic push 1/day (caster level equals the undine's level).
Energy Resistance: Undines have cold resistance 5.
Hydrated Vitality: An undine with this racial trait gains fast healing 2 for 1 round anytime she submerges completely within a body of natural salt water, fresh water, or brackish water. Stagnant, poisoned, or trapped water (such as an artificial pit or a bag of holding) does not activate this ability. The undine can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this ability, after which it ceases to function. This racial trait replaces water affinity.
Druid
Domains: Floatsam
Resist Water's Call (Su): At 4th level, an undine adept gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of outsiders with the aquatic or water subtype, fey with the aquatic or water subtype, and spells and effects with the water descriptor. This ability replaces resist nature's lure.
Wild Shape (Su): At 6th level, an undine adept gains the ability to use wild shape. When an undine takes the form of a creature with the aquatic or water subtype, this ability functions at her class level + 1. For all other forms, her effective druid level for the ability is equal to her actual undine adept level. This ability otherwise functions as and replaces wild shape.
Amphibious (Su): At 2nd level, the undine adept gains the aquatic subtype and the amphibious universal monster ability, allowing her to breathe water or air. This ability replaces woodland stride.
Augment Summoning (Su): At 3rd level, any creature with the water subtype the undine adept summons with either summon monster or summon nature's ally gains the benefits of the Augment Summoning feat. This replaces trackless step.

Walking around aimlessly (she is not lost, she just walks aimlessly ;) ) Marithal notices the strage bunch of people talking.
"what a weird bunch, but they seem interesting"
So she puts down her Backpack next to the group, sits down leaning against it and curiously looks at them.
After sitting for a few moments Mari and contemplating, if she should get herself a Drink, introduce herself or just sit there and watch, she deciedes to get some Rum and itroducing herself: "I am Marithal, but most people just call me Mari."
On hearing the Kid announce a free round of drinks, Reijo immediately slams his palm on top of the coins he just placed before the barkeep. Returning them to his own belt pouch and eyeballing him suspiciously, the seasoned sailor nearly manages to thank the young man for his generosity... which would be a first for the gruff sailor, "Aye, Blondie Boy. Rum fer me it be!"
To Viktorra, he ignores her polite gesture, but answers her question. "Aye, Queenie. I be Reijo. Cap'n Reijo but fer the 'nfrequent postin' o'th'geemm an' them bloody disappearin' play'rs sinkin' me brigantine to the bottom o'Besmara's frigid oggin..." He takes a swig of rum as he then looks off in the distance.
Eyeballing the goblin with suspicion now, he asks aloud, "Whats the deal with Ratty over thar? He be lookin' like somethin' I be findin' and killin' in me bilges." Another swig of rum.
Looking at Ol' Salty, Reijo looks back to Bellamy with a smirk and suggests, "Eh, Blindey! It be another crotchety ole fogey t'keeps ye company! Ye can chat 'bout the good ole days and the woes o'yer limp belayin' pins." And another swig of rum.
oggin = ocean
He turns around to his otter, Lil Fisher, who can't stop playing with the elf. He grins mischievously and whispered "watch this" to Willem before he cupped his hands and shouted "FRESH MILK!!!"
Without warning, Fisher jumped into the air and raced eagerly straight to the tavern. Ol' Salty was laughing the entire time.
Ol' Salty sits down next to Willem on his right, with Reijo on his left. He keeps tabs on his empathetic link to Fisher, who was drinking milk with such gusto that a few of the customers started buying him more. Ol' Salty always knew that Fisher was a very sociable otter, but today was especially the case. He then mingled with his new acquaintances, talking about Cayden Cailean with Willem, and seafaring with Reijo.
Dropping out.
Dropping out.
"...Ye can chat 'bout the good ole days and the woes o'yer limp belayin' pins."
Bellamy turned his head in Reijo's general direction and gave a gap toothed grin.
"Hee! Sounds like a man with his head on straight Reijo boy!" He shot back, taking another swig of rum afterward.He patted the belaying pin he had sheathed in his belt.
"And me belayin' pin be hard and straight thank 'ee very much! Wanna touch it, jes ta make sure? Hee hee hee!"
He sways just enough to duck Reijo's inevitable backhand, almost as if he knew it was coming.

You guys are going to make this a very hard decision...
Sorry to see people drop out, but there's still time to get those characters in! Still no paladins offering to take up the pirate life and make their deities shake their heads in shame? No mighty slayers of good, evil, and everything in between? No half-bricks? For shame!
I fear that this is going to die out really quickly if nothing happens soon
|
Come on!
The deadline was today and Helio said he would eventually extend it because of the power outages.
Also give the person some space, looking at so many character entries and then deciding on whom to take and whom to declince is a tough job. First there is a lot of reading, then a lot of comparing and then you have to make decisions. This takes some time.
Patience and the ability to stick are key qualifications in PbP ;)
Good luck to all.
Alright, that's that. If anyone wants to slip in at the last moment, I'll allow it since the storm was giving Paizo a hell of a week. I know the outages ate at least one of my posts...
I'll be looking over everyone and I should have the final decision on who's in within a day or two.
Thanks for all the interest!
*Continues happily dancing about* (^_^)
Wishin' every one all's very bestest!
Now... where'd that lil' critter get to....
Viktorra glances at the strange dancing elf, then speaks, "th' same luck t' you. "
"Heshk heshk heshk. Let's get on with it then. Grepplin will gather up the sweet meats and start the adventure. No need for smelly longshanks men. More meat for Grepplin, Heshk heshk heshk."
Alright... after much debate back and forth over who to take, the following individuals have been selected to partake this grand journey of seafaring adventure:
Suny, the Totally Not Magus Fighter/Monk/Ninja
Reijo Ilvonen, the Dashing and Roguish Sailor Ranger/Barb/Rogue
Viktorra, Warpriestess of the Pirate Goddess Besmara
Ol' Salty and his Salty Otter as a Shaman of the Seas
Nhati, Arcanist of the Mwangi
And 'No-Eyes' Bellamy, the Mildly Blind Bardacle
Many thanks to all the great applicants! If I was confident enough in my ability to run two tables for the same game, I'd certainly try to get you all... I wish everyone the best of luck in finding more games! (And, should I ever get the free time to run another table, you may be hearing from me... My current work contract is running out soon, after all...)
To those who have made it - I will be posting the discussion thread now, but I will probably be unable to put up the first gameplay post until I get home tonight.
*Squees and jumps for joy* (^_^)
*Gives fellow applicants a huggin'*
*Gives every one who's still in the tavern an extra fierce huggin'*
Wishin' evry one all'a very bestest fer everything! (^_^)
Reijo is sure to linger in Suny's hugs... and with a smirk, dares to grope her rump!
...
Awesomesauce! Thanks Helio! Greatly looking forward to this. :)

Awesomesauce! Thanks Helio! Greatly looking forward to this. :)
I don't think I've ever played a game without a party pervert, so this is something I'm very accustomed to =P
Wishing everyone the very best...est. Looking forward to this game ^^
Congrats to all that made it. You have an allstar cast on your hands! Sunny and No Eyes are well known pbp'ers ;). May the dice be with you.
*Hugz teh Godlin* Wishin' ye well as well. (^_^)
I've actually never played in a PbP, so this experience should help get me started!
As to Reijo's attentions, I believe that Viktorra isn't attracted to men in that way. Maybe from her treatment of them, maybe because of something else. I just don't imagine her with a man.
Actually had a typical "royal" girlfriend in the works, but wasn't sure how much that would be accepted, and didn't wanna start anything.
Plus, I've been selected already. Having that big of a story change might be a bad thing.
Unless the DM would let me add that aspect in?
So, she should present a challenge!
