You all seem to be assuming Fluffy (I'll call it that in discussion... gotta thing of something good for gameplay) took Pirate #6 down... :)
Rednal, you can still switch the order to an either/or if you like. "If Pirate 6 goes down Fluffy will move, otherwise it'll stick around" sort of thing. Though given the sudden threat from the other side...
Also, if Logan hasn't posted in a couple hours I'll DMPC and move us on. Must keep up the pace in the beginning! I'll probably just roll for how he responds to Jylla. Any suggestions for what the roll should be? Wisdom? (which is the wiser course? ;) ) Simple 50/50 1d2 roll?
I'd like to move Fluffy whether Pirate 6 is still around or not - as mentioned, the AC will hopefully protect it, and I'm more concerned about getting some power towards the left of the map then I am making sure that particular foe goes down. XD
Ah, and in terms of naming, I can probably come up with something appropriately Lovecraftian. ^^ It could casually mention its name to Luca after the battle and force her to make a SAN check make things even more awkward by forcing her to think about its existence when she'd really rather not. XD
Ah, and a Wisdom check seems most appropriate. ^^
No, no, this is easy.
It's name is Luca.
Luca and Luca? Can't we call one of them LucaToo?
At the risk of swelling your ego too much Dante, in my resolution notes for that last combat round was the note: "Dante murderizes his enemies."
So Sorry folks, yesterday I was pretty much lost due to going to the hospital, the surgery and recovery.
I just had back surgery to relieve my Siatic nerve from being pinched. I will be on and off but don't expect much from me until next week. Thanks for understanding!
I will put my efforts in here first before any of my other games. I should have a post up in an hour if not sooner, unless I fall asleep again.
Ouch! Hope you heal quickly, Logan! And no worries. If you don't post on any particular day I'll do what I did yesterday - bring you along and have you whack things with your sword when needed. :)
A reminder to all that that is the general policy: if a player hasn't posted in 24 hours I DMPC them to move us forward (if necessary) or I just assume they did nothing of note.
This only applies to weekdays, which have a more leisurely pace. I post when I can on weekends and hope others will as well, but I won't DMPC anyone to force us ahead.
I understand that Mercy also you did an excellent job with Logan, I think you spoke better than I would have. Thanks for the well wishes and I hope to be on my feet quickly! No pain in my legs which is great but the incision location really hurts.
In light of the US holiday tomorrow, there's a chance I won't be posting. Feel free to get your actions/activities in and perhaps I'll have the time, but consider this a "three-day weekend" for the campaign.
On second thought, because I'd love it if Logan weighed in on the whole "who should fight the duel" thing himself, I'm extending the weekend to four days. Hopefully he'll post sometime in that timeframe!
But don't get complacent, my gentle snowflakes. We'll be back to our normal once-a-day-at-least schedule on monday!
Luca: you are sneaking out past Tyrus and through Torble's square?
Yes, I am - though, considering how close they are, I doubt either would have trouble noticing her move. XD It's more... trying to not attract attention from anyone further away.
Does Dante have anything more to say, or will he let Logan fight the duel?
Stats-wise it would be better if I went but my character would let him go. What he said would give Dante confidence that things will work out.
If rage was not active, Logan might have let Dante take the lead. Then again he chose not to spar with Logan earlier.
Aw, are you really holding that against me?
Me no, but Logan would. ;)
Looks like we're decided then! Hopefully I'll get the next post up by tonight.
@Luca: Hm, might have to put a save on that ability... but for now we'll keep it saveless. Gotta help Logan out a bit against the enemy he just put himself up against. ;)
I'd been wondering about that. XD I can see reasons for going either way, actually, but yes! Helping out is what I'm trying to do.
And so it begins... best of luck, Norren. You'll need it.
Sigh. By Norren, I mean Logan. GM posting while drinking is always a bad decision. And yet I'll continue to do it.
In any case, I'll go ahead and give a peek behind the curtain here and say that Logan is definitely up against a higher-level opponent, so I'm trying to give him some catch-up bonuses here.
Though Norren being Nauseated means he won't be able to do much at all, even taking full defense as Logan wails on him.
It is going to take some impressive wailing to down this guy! He ain't a pirate captain for nothing.
Any word from Tyrus?
Nothing I've seen, nope. I'll probably go ahead and post the next round a bit earlier than usual today, as I don't want to keep the non-dueling folks waiting around bored for too long. We've already got a couple solid charisma checks cheering Logan on, anyway.
If you want to roll for him his charisma is an 8.
Sorry guys, I am interstate on work so can only post at night. Went to post least night but the site was down.
It was down most of today too. No worries.
Caught a break. Trying to post from tablet.
I just barely ninja'd you, but you made the charisma check. :) You are welcome to post some fluff for it retroactively.
Today we learned that players are better at cheering than pirates. Logan has had three free rounds... what will happen now that Norren can attack?
Gotta say, I'm finding this exciting. Those three free rounds really changed things up. No campaign plan ever survives contact with the PC's! :)
Maybe you guys should roll several attacks in one go and see who wins. As long as no one else interferes we can just skip to the end.
Not a bad idea at all. Only difference is in being able to change tactics depending on the fallout from various actions. If you feel like going the fast-forward route, Logan, go ahead and post your next five actions or so.
In the interest of getting back to a non-duel, DMPC'ing Logan as if he agreed with Dante's idea.
Well, this should be interesting. XD
Those rolls were all over the place. Both had an unconfirmed crit and nat 1.
Yeah, some pretty extreme rolls. With such high AC's on both of them though (lucky Logan had those charisma bonuses. Good job cheering, you guys) confirmed crits are hard to come by.
Sorry for the delay, meds and pain got in the way with a strange sleep schedule for the last couple of days. I am actually getting sleep! *eeeeeee* :)
On with the show!
Probably fitting that your character also needs some rest, then. Art imitates life! ;) (hope your recovery hasn't been too rocky so far).
From what I'm seeing it seems as if nobody intends to take any hostile actions for the moment. My next post will probably take us out of combat unless somebody says otherwise.
I am out cold so.....
Recovery has been one step at a time, but better each day!
Are they trying to take our other gear?
Tyrus can lose the knife if they ask for it.
Did they leave him with the healing kit?
Yep, they left you the healing kit so you could continue tending to Logan. You probably have something like a scalpel in there. Equal to a small dagger, perhaps (1d3 damage).
Sorry - Tyrus has a 'dagger' as a utility knife.
Was asking if they'd have taken it. If they want it he'll hand it over, he just wouldn't think of it as a weapon.
They would have taken daggers too, yes. Unless you managed to hide one on your person (say under your clothes) they'll have taken it. That includes yours, Logan.
The one in his boot is not that big and concealed under his leggings, so unless they did a pat down search he likely still has it.
But it's up to you boss.
Is there going to be any chance for escape during the week? Otherwise I will be putting him at full hp.
Not a problem - should I delete it from the sheet?
Roll me an (assumedly untrained) Sleight of Hand check, Logan. DC 10 for keeping the knife in your boot.
For several days you are going to be in a cage on a boat somewhere in the ocean. Escape is probably not the wisest option (though I'm not going to stop you from trying!). Everyone can restore themselves to full HP.
Also, you don't need to modify your gear if you do not want to. Just remember that you do no currently possess your normal weapons (maybe put a little TAKEN tag next to them if you want).
for dagger that is always put away and hiding for emergencies.
Yep, you've got the knife in your boot.
