Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Cool. What did you think of the prosthetic leg?

Just to give you an indication of what I can do if you actually DRAW a map.

>>>>>TOOK 15 MINUTES<<<<<

Graphic arts work station with WACOM board. Can't beat it.

If you want a battlemap of it I can change the square sizes and add coordinates in a jiffy.

That's f%#+ing awesome.

Cool. What did you think of the prosthetic leg?

that'll work; I thought you got it from somewhere, but I guess you made it up. It looks good. I don't know why that's never dealt with anywhere in some rules!

>>>>>CHECK IT<<<<<

I'll do the compass rose when I have a break.

Cool. I think I just made it up, though there might be other items out there that look like it. It's made of bones and magically hardened twine, so the chief will look pretty scary once it's in place. For our purposes, the most important thing might be that it'll take two more days of work before it's done; the locatahs will have to wait until then.

Also, now that we've had a little downtime, perhaps we can convince Elgan to fly back to Fort Bale and catch up with the guys at the garrison?

I've. Got. Some hardcore npc's to crank. That m*@$@+@*%!#% needs some population.

Yeah; it's all good...everything's pretty mellow until you guys gather your bearings; might want to go to Seaton and buy more stuff.

If the goblins have been repelled, we could just say that we return to Saltmarsh/Seaton/wherever, sell our junk and resupply, returning to the lizardman burg with our ship as soon as we're ready?

sounds good to me.

Oh, and Altai you might like this....in Stormwrack there's an aquatic weapon type. If you can cast freedom of movement, cost of a +1 bonus makes weapons act as if freedom of movement is in effect underwater; CL 5.

ruff viper's den, again...

Here's our final loot list. It is quite substantial:

Gotta go plan my spending...

So, I was thinking that we provision up our ship in Seaton and then load it full of lizardmen before taking off for the Isle of Dread. We'll have some instant allies for our fight against the sahuagin, and then we'll have a base of operations as we explore the rest of the island. How much for enough food and water to get us to the Isle of Dread?

oh, the island with the volcano is in Jeklea Bay, not quite as far as the Isle of Dread...It's maybe a good 10 day's sail let's say. I've in mind that it's a little south of the Hold of the Sea Princes, half way to damn Sasserine.
I'll just say...a good gold piece per day per head will take care of it, along with another 500 g.p. wear and tear. You guys want to hire a crew? I'd say a good 10 men; end up costing 1 g.p. a day per man in pay and upkeep. Maybe a bosun to keep it all in hand; he'll want 2 g.p. per day. Navigator'd be nice; they'd run 3 g.p. per day...

Cool - that's 100 gp for crew, 20 for the bosun and 30 for the navigator. How many lizardmen altogether?

he's got 50 that can roll right now. The chief says he wants to send out envoys to the surrounding tribes; by the time you're back from Seaton, and you guys say you're ready to roll, I'm going to roll 5d20 and add that to the total.
The locathah seem kinda wishywashy on the whole thing right now.
So far, with 50.....looks kinda tight. The lizmen can roll with about 1/2 cost; so 5 silver per lizman per day; they can smoke fish and whatnot, and swim around and eat in the ocean.

oh, and the lizmen....mostly stone age weaponry and armor.

Of that, Stig owes Altai 500 gp.

Yours

Sorry out of touch, wife sick. Once we are established with the lizard-king, (and possibly helping cement his agreement with the others, that's the kind of thing he'd do.) He will happily fly back and check himself, or send a message animal to deliver a note to someone to let them know how we're doing.

I am going to need help spending all of this loot! I have never played a Druid before, so I have no idea what mid-high lvl goodies are available for one to use. Recommendations anyone?!?

I don't know either. I've been studying like....high level druid npc's and they seem to be the red headed stepchild of magic item creation, so....all I can say is this: you're going out over water a lot, and you have people around that don't have spells to deal. This is the information parleyed to you from the earth goddess on your requisite next hippie-trippie visionquest. ;)

hope your wife gets better soon!

>>>>>DUM DEE DUMMM<<<<<

Arrrrrrrrr!
That's dope.
18 men on a dead man's chest....
yo ho ho anna bottle brass monkey!

“Look guys … these lizard people turned out to be alright. I’m happy enough to help ‘em fight pirates or whatever it is we’re doing … but boys, let’s not just head out straight away. We need to head back to Fort Bale, make sure things are ok there (do they owe us a reward?). Then back to the Manor! We need to check on the place, and I really really want to see Pharsia … and, um, then we got lots of money to spend. Think we can let this sea voyage rest for a a few days at least?”

Cool - that's 100 gp for crew, 20 for the bosun and 30 for the navigator. How many lizardmen altogether?

That plus the 500gp upkeep = 650 gp. Riese pays for it all.

I'm a little busy today for shopping, Oso is happy with everything so far.

I'll buy stuff tomorrow and should be ready to move on by Weds. Rags I'll take a look at your stuff as I'm looking.

I don't know either. I've been studying like....high level druid npc's and they seem to be the red headed stepchild of magic item creation, so....

Speaking of red-headed step-children, howzabout bards? Not even any good instruments that I can find. If anything I'd love to eventually get wings of flying (with a 54K price tag that will be a while). Being short and low on HP means I need manuverability. Past that a water-breathing item and maybe having someone enchant Lucille for a bard bonus and I would be happy.

You can roll over there any time; it's all pretty free right now...

Hope I am....ready to move by Wed....I should have something to roll with, but take your time.

I know, right?.....

Riese did some shopping off camera so I wanted to list the items bought: He had almost 22,000gp after the last haul. Headband of Int +4(16,000gp), Wand of Magic Missile CL5-3missiles(3,750gp), and an Empowered Spellshard(1st level spell) of Firebolt-3Xday empowered(1,500gp). Alternately I could have Altai craft the spellshard for me if he has time.
He spent most of his flow on those items.

Tom and Will be comin' aboard th' Sea Ghost; permission granted;.... Tom says he can Capm this scow, an Will just nods, standing there in his sealskin overcoat and hat. He's ready for the biblicule deluge that one.

Beldan:
not a Rick Roll, I promise!!!

Everybody else; at Fort Bale, they're real happy and kicks you all another 2,500 g.p. each man of your 8.

I forget, which one was Riese "into"? Riese will hand him the BDSM armor as a gift.

oh, and the lizmen....mostly stone age weaponry and armor.

Could we buy back the smugglers' weapons and armour?

It will protect you amazingly well and make you look quite fetching, lad, especially with your well-developed physique. I can't wait to see it on you. Perhaps I could help you don it later this evening?
makin' my move on good-ol' whats-his-name! ;P

I'm sayin Tom is your buddy....and Will's the goofy silent one. He's diggin you; you're loaded!

Yeah; let me um check the boox out at home later tonight and come up with a figure grounded in reality.

We might use the ship more as a base than anything else - most of the lizardmen paddle alongside in dugouts and then come aboard to eat and sleep and to take refuge if the weather gets rough.

Now that you mention it, I think it was Will. He didn't talk much. Being married in RL that would have effected my decision.....hope the wifey don't read this....;)

needs 136 lizardmen basking all over the deck. It reminds me of this tree I saw in Costa Rica with about 50 iguanas all over it's branches.

Will's not gay, just kinda.....odd.

Guess it was Tom then......Is he receptive to Riese's advances?

Hell yeah; you got a boat and you're loaded. You're like Tommy Vu!

Could I assume we have two weeks to craft stuff and conduct preparations?

As for weapons and armour, I was thinking tridents, wooden shields and studded leather armour. The lizardman bosses get chain shirts.

Yeah; that's cool. 2 weeks plus; it's an outfitting that has to be done on the ship and all.

More equipment input? The might need misille weapons as well; crossbows are cheaper than real bows, and better than slings and javelins. The lizardmen have been there before - what do they think they need?

mainly spearin' type weapons; daggers; chain shirts or shark hide armor; they think they'll see a lot of underwater scrappings.

The weapon dealer is curious who it's all for....
