Uh-oh! That doesn't sound good!
he is gonna change the difficulty to 15, watch. then we are ALL in trouble. :D
Tao, you won by a nose. Accelerated climbing's fun! River, guess you'll have to wait to start hating me.... ;-)
Oh, and nice job, Alain. How're you enjoying the life of a pirate thus far?
Not that I am complaining as Tao is a better climber than me, but I read that as it was DC 10 for 1/4 speed and DC 15 for 1/2 with only 4 checks.
His second acclerated climb was only 7, or his normal climb if combining them both was the 7. I don't see how that beats 15? :S
Poor guy. Hope that staggering doesn't make him a target.
@River: Two ways to make the climb. Regular's a DC 10, Accelerated's a DC 15 (or DC 10 with a -5 penalty). He failed the second accelerated climb, but not by 5+, so he just made no progress. Ended up climbing 67.5ft to your 60ft, so a very close victory. Yeah, kind of confusing, but probably for the best. :-)
Oh, and nice job, Alain. How're you enjoying the life of a pirate thus far?
<grin>
Ah right, very confusing. Well either way, I am glad he got the position, with a climb score of 9 better than me it makes more sense.
Yeah, I had to read the Climb rules about a dozen times before I figured it out. If you think that's complicated, just wait until we get to try underwater combat....
EDIT: writing up ship job stuff at the moment. Everyone's going to have such a fun time! Especially considering your responses to Plugg's current question.... ;-)
Sorry, what I was doing was keeping the base climb score at 10 and during accelerated climb I subtracted 5 from my total. If I kept it as a normal climb, that 7 should have been a 12 so I would have made no progress rather than fall.
Well I'm off to bed, it's late and I have a morning shift tomorrow. I will try to sign on before work, if not it will be about 14 hours from now when I next get to read the posts again. Don't get me killed :P
Night River. See ya tomorrow.
That's brilliant. :D
@Tao: That's awesome! We'll see if Aldous/Enya can cook. If not, things will get interesting, lol. :-)
I am afraid. Very very afraid. No one can cook. Oh man. This might be bad. Tag cuddles! your up!
This is gonna be fantastic! :D
Oh CRAP! no one has heal... That means no one is gonna have enough skill to perform a stomach pump. Cuddles! Heimlich!
Awwww, cuddles almost got to be the galley hand. Too bad, but probably for the best. I was imagining all kinds of questionable fare in the future. ;)
Well, Aldous should be your new best friend (although Enya told me she'd volunteer if no one else would). Just so you know, according to the AP writeup, if nobody volunteers, Plugg picks the biggest, fattest PC - reasoning that he knows how to eat well. That would have been a certain 300lb Half-Orc.... ;-)
He should have picked me anyway. :P
I woulda picked you.. Me the person, not me the PC. The PC woulda probably hurled himself off the crow's nest if Plugg picked Cuddles.
Yeah, I rreeaallyy wanted to pick Cuddles. Unfortunately, Plugg's supposed to pick the first person to volunteer. Oh, well... ;-)
<wheeze!>
LOL Alaine! Walk it off man. Walk it off. Don't worry, The non-lethal starts to wear off after an hour I think. Jus walk it off man. Remeber. Non-strenuous. Oh crap. Your a swab. Well then. I guess your gonna pass out for an hour before waking up huh. :D
Enya! RESUSCITATION SONG! STAT! Dance him back to health or something! Wonders if she is actually back yet or not.
So question. The daily duties, Since your post didn't include Tao, does that mean I have all day. So I do day AND night actions in my next post?
who was the woman who healed Alain?
Hee! Y'had yer chance at a cook laddies!
Just day duties for now. There's some stuff that happens in between.
OH MAN! Floating commentary from 'Ol Blind Bellamy! I am excited!:D
It's a good thing Cuddles isn't doing any actual repair work with that check. He might have damaged the ship.
WHEW!!! That was a lot of typing, if I do say so myself. I'll be glad when everyone's explored the ship to their satisfaction. :-)
Do you want our nighttime activity now, or am I getting ahead of things?
No nighttime stuff yet; we still need the Rum Ration and the Bloody Hour. :-)
And don't those names sound just lovely. Especially that 'Bloody Hour'.
Just to be clear, I am guessing that Runner is to messages around, not really sure.
I wasn't exploring the ship, just running the messages while keeping an eye open
I agree Cuddles, that Bloody Hour sounds ... delightful.
Is 'Discovery' a good thing or a bad thing? Is that us finding an Easter egg or a pirate catching us snooping about?
I am already seeing my interaction with Rosie going REAL bad. Shudders.
If by 'Easter Egg' you mean someone catching you slacking off and getting yourself into trouble, then, Yes, Alain's correct. :-)
LoL
How dare they try to eat Arirai ... Mica too!
Y.B.D : I have a question which is for complete falvour. I tried this in Cold Outside but the GM refused to let me. When cast a spell, such as Sleep, can I say that instead of a cloud of sand/rose petals, it can be a cloud of bubbles? Just make the effects a little watery? It doesn't change anything in the spell and it would still have the exact same effects, range, etc. Just makes more sense, especially out at sea.
I like that. lil bubbles. Reminds me of the snot bubbles from anime. Fitting.
that and the Squirtle Bubble Beam from the original Pokemon. Well now, do I feel kinda old.
Kinda old...I was in college when pokemon came out. Just saying.
That being said, loving this so far!!!
YBD: Are there any limitations to the spells I can pray for beyond it has to be a standard spell?
@River: Works for me; I like the flavor. :-)
@Aldous: No 3rd-party stuff. Other than that, I'm pretty flexible.
Sweet! Thanks :)
I know exactly what you mean Tao, although I hadn't thought of the anime bubbles, but now when they fail their saves against the Sleep spell ... they will have them!
I was reaching the end of Primary school when the Pokemon games came out ... Really want to play them again now though!
YBD: I have encountered some GMs that won't allow spells from any source other than the Core Rulebook without you finding them/earning them from your deity, or some other nonsense. The idea that clerics have access to everything when everyone else is so tightly bound...
That's one of the benefits of receiving spells directly from your deity. :-)
@Aldous: You know what?! You are right. I haven't seen anything about Channeling having any visual, audibly, or sensory effects before. I know there are some stuff (i think in the UM) to add those effects but there is no actual mention. I always imagined it as a kinda pulse emanating out from the caster. Kinda like... Like... a sonic ripple. You feel a thump in your chest and a wave of energy like a current moving past you.
I know it doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.
Well now, I am sure glad my escapade helped everyone else! :D I'm just afraid of what is gonna happen next. I hope I don't wake up with a harpoon up my... Well, you know.
Hee hee, part of me wants to get into trouble so that they will Keelhaul me. I would love to see their faces when they pull me up after a minute or 2 and I look at them as if it was nothing!
Heck I could even get a good job out of it, being left down there to clean the under side of the ship, at least it would be quieter :P Only problem would be the sharks and Krakens :P There's ALWAYS a Kraken!
