The discussion thread is now connected to the campaign thread.
What is Shuriken going to do.
Yay!
I feel this is as good a place as any to put this, but anyone that is familiar with piracy in general, or especially Shackles piracy, would likely be familiar with the name Rayick Atmor. You can know as much as you choose, but he was awell known pirate captain operating out of Drenchport. One thing that is out of the ordinary about him was that he was surprisingly moral and respectful of others property, well, the property he didn't steal, anyway. He always made an effort to strike in major shipping lanes, where the ships he attacked could be found quickly, and he tried to minimize damage to the ships he attacked, after all, repeat business was in his best interest. Anyway, his last known location was that earlier in the year, his ship and crew dissapeared and were assumed lost in the Eye of Abendego.
That Rayick is Icero's father is what he was going on about with the 'don't you know who I am' bit, which will be revealed shortly.
Anyone have anything about their characters that anyone might know ahead of time?
Shuriken Here. i hope you don't mind my bit of backstory as a former agent of Queen Ileosa before being exiled when her majesty was overthrown.
Gad to see you Yamiko
Henk is a harpooner that worked the fishing lanes as long as he has been able to hold a harpoon. If you ever saw him, it was probably knee deep in whale guts and blubber.
No the backstory was fine Yamiko.
Giving lip to the captors is a quick way to get beaten down. :)
I know, but Icero doesn't really see it as giving lip, and I'm really hoping that they don't see it that way either.
I need all of you to roll a d20 five times and then tell me what the total number is.
This a skill roll or just a straight d20?
Roll a climb skill roll 5 times and total them up.
Ok, got everything rolled
Game seems quiet
0/~ There she was.. 0/~
Sorry I cannot post everyday but it seems that the first to reach the top and thereby winner of this test is Henk. Now can any of the PCs cook?
If no one else will volunteer, then I can say that Icero's dad had him learn to be the ship's cook to keep him out of trouble.
Sounds good to me
I believe that makes the rest of us swabbies
Get swabben ya wench!
Since posting is slow I have a suggestion to help speed things up. I believe doing things 'roleplay lite' can help. While we will no doubt want to ask questions, we should try to focus more on moving along. RP between the PCs is fine and should be encouraged
I am out of town for the week and I don't have my books with me so I can't do much to progress the game this week.
Ok I am back. Would the group like to play out everyday or just run a few days and the major events. I am asking this because there are 20 days on this ship and not all of them have major events.
Run a few days sounds ok
Lets just have a roll call of who is still here.
I'm here, hitting the major events sounds good to me.
Sasha is still here.
I think we should do the days in blocks. everyday can slow the pace and may loose players.
Blocks?
like we post actions for a set gnumber of sailing days then we advance the story that time frame then we can repeat unless there is some special encounter that would warrent the whole party involvement.
Henk Sasha may want to relieve you of your rigging duties she hates confined crowded spaces (like below decks and bilges) a swabbie might work as long as she can stay outside as much as possible.
Sasha was actually going to cheat to win the climb by casting animate rope to slow you up but I think the post was overlooked.
That sounds good to me, list what we can do for say 5 days or so and we tell you our actions and you roll them.
I think we lost someone
I think we lost someone
who?
Yamiko and Charles. I sent some PMs asking if they were still here after our DM returned and haven't seen them pop up
Well.. With the seeming loss of two members and the very slow pace of any advancement of the game I will be dropping out. Sorry, but 2+ weeks and we are still on the main deck does not bode well.
Ok, I guess it's over
