Journeys of the Sargasso Queen (Inactive)

Game Master Hungry Waters

That sounds good.

Since I came up with the Corsair's, I'd be a logical choice to respond for them when the GM is too busy to. If he wants us to do that.

Also, when we get to exploring the sandbar, I think it would be a good idea if Sabinae and Kiana scouted it first, Kiana from the air, Sabinae from the sea. They can move at 50 ft per move action, and Sabinae can see Kiana in the air, and Kiana can see Sabinae in the water (provided we don't get more than say 50 ft from the surface).

I think it would work as a very good scouting tag team.

We are scouting the hold first though right, can't scout that from the air presumably. But for the sandbar yes. Incidently I always thought a sandbar was essentially just a barren small strip of sand, google seems to agree, is there something obscuring our vision of it that means we need to explore it?

Looks down at blood stained arrow

Looks at the green paint on the shaft

Takes a small vial of anti-toxin out of her pouch and hands it to the GM

"Ooops..."

Kiana takes out a marker, and draws obscene doodles on the comatose GM's face.

Our GM seems to be AWOL since Thursday. Should we all just continue RPing with each other until he returns?

I'm down for that, really hoping this is a temporary blip in HWs schedule, I've seen too many PBPs die in the early stages and it would be a real shame with such a great bunch of RPers.

This is indeed a temporary blip. My significant other came down with a bad infection and it was almost a trip to the hospital.

I'll have the full post up after my morning class. Sorry for the delays my friends!

Also, I think Kiana may have killed me twice...

Only once.

The second one was just drawing obscene doodles on your face while you snored.

Bet you can't name the origin of that.

Also, did you want us to make the NPCs for you and post them up? We all have programs to do it, so we can stat them up quickly and post them for you to save you time and effort.

Rissdan is still alive just so everyone knows. ;)

@Hungry Waters
Just a reminder I sent you a PM. Hope things calm down for you a bit.

@Rissdan: The change is accepted. But from here, no more swapping... it sort of changes the flow of things.

@Kiana: No clue where that comes from unfortunately xD And no need, I also have programs to do it and I just haven't had the time. It's in this week's planning.

As for the cabins, we have the gun deck which consists of a large area with all the cannons. There are four additional cabins: two fore, two aft. One of them is the powder store.

The berth deck holds a large crew area for sleeping, five unoccupied cabins which can hold 4 crew a piece, the galley and the kitchens.

The hold is still locked.

@Hungry Waters: do we have launches for the shore party?

So we're sending a bunch of NPCs to do our adventuring? I may be misunderstanding but I'd much rather handle things like exploring the sandbar ourselves.

Well, the captain kind of specified he take 10% of the crew, which not saying 'take the officers'. Honestly, with our hold this weak on the crew, having us all off ship seems a bad idea anyway.

This works out better anyway, Kiana is much better in open spaces than tight holds. And Heregrihm isn't much for being in tight spots either. Splitting the party isn't that bad, not with this many NPCs.

Room for one more, Zephry, jump in! Besides, we may be too early in the game for an outright mutiny at the onset! What's the worst that could happen?

And if there is a mutiny, we can launch Heregrihm at them like a human torpedo and sink the whole lot!

Don't worry Rissdan won't give up the wheel without a fight so unless he is offered a position of new captain it will cost them more bodies then they can afford to lose. ;)

A ship is no good if you can't sail it.

You're free to do whatever you want with most of the crew. Unless I state otherwise they'll follow orders on the ship as to the rigging and etc. But they won't lay down their lives for you that's for sure.

It may be time to delegate to a #3 and fly off and join us!

Ok, so... is there anything actually going on? GM? Are you waiting on someone to post something? We seem to be dead in the water (har har). :)

Warren's checking out the glyphs as we speak. There's always the coral reef below, but this was mainly an opportunity to take some shore leave and stretch some legs. But yeah, the glyphs are the key.

Heregrihm takes out his cell phone and snaps a pic of the glyphs then uploads them to his MyFace-a-gram account.

Hahahaha xD

But yeah, with the glyphs transcribed, the way to your next destination is open. Feel free to explore the rest of the island but it's pretty much complete.

Aside from Profession (sailor) checks from the helmsman, I'll keep swhip actions to a minimum so as to not bog down with rules. The Queen is more of a backdrop/location than a rule system.

Is this game still alive?

It seems like we're just puttering around.

Sense I was kinda ignored I am waiting for a chance to jump in again with something relevant. x3

It is, it is. It's just finals for the next two weeks so it's going to be a little slower. Also paizo was down when I was checking in last time so I missed a shot there.

So, we're ignoring the hold now? I thought that was a major thing we had to take care of before we move on. I'm confused.

The ride has come to a complete stop.

I told you to keep your hands inside at all times!

Will likely be slow the next few days, for obvious reasons. :) I'm off this week, so I'll keep monitoring and post as needed.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

I'm almost ready to call this, going to give it another week, but I'm not optimistic at this point :(

*shrug*

*I* have been posting, nobody seems to respond to them, not even the GM.

Good concept. Mobile ship as a base--possibly allow downtime rules to build it up. Have the scenes change as it shifts magically and hits leylines and hops around.

But I agree, we are becalmed.

@Kiana, I'm not sure where you've posted anything the players are meant to respond to? I think from my point of view all of the players have been great and I hope to get a chance to run with you all again. I'll probably move Zephry over to PFS, which is now my preferred form of PBP - nice short adventures that take about a month to play out and seem to move much faster than none PFS games. Sadly that's not an option for Kiana and Risdan would need a boon to run as an Undine.

I suspect the fact that the DM gets a incentive to run, being able to use his DM credits to improve his own characters, etc., is very helpful in ensuring swift posting and completion.

You have to consider it's the holidays so posting will be slow. Like I said before I post when I feel my guy has something to add. Sorry if that makes it seem like I am not paying attention at times. x3

Don't mind me, I'm just annoyed because I spent time doing overwatch, but nothing came of it, and then I went back to the ship and RP'd helping Sabinae and the GM ignored both of us.

You'd think that someone flying overhead could at least get a chance to shoot some food animals, or spot some fruit trees for harvesting, or something, especially with the perception rolls I made, but nothing.

And Sabinae and I could have been doing stuff on the ship with whoever was there, but that entire bit was ignored for a hunt of a feline. *shrug* Apparently the escaped pet feline was more important than my time posting. It just seems like it's been a month where nothing I did was even acknowledged.

Buehler?

So... basically, we're dead now right?

So... basically, we're dead now right?

I hope not. :(

The GM said he'd be slow for two weeks, and that was the last we heard.

And he's not posted anything anywhere, his last post was this one.

*sigh*

Well it's kinda not been two weeks just yet. So still a little hope. >.<

My point was, he said he'd be slow to post for 2 weeks, not non-existent.

Time of death.....

Pretty much before it began Doctor Warren. Right, I'm going to hide this on my campaigns tab tomorrow, its been a pleasure playing with you all and I hope to get to do so again. I'm going to be doing PFS games pretty much exclusively from now on, due to their nice bite size nature and will port Zephry over. Good luck all!

If you guys are interested, I am doing a homebrew rangers campaign under this alias.

Still time to craft a bow and move out.

Looks like you've already started, good luck with it!

Good luck all, I enjoyed it while it lasted. :(

Good luck all, bright side I got more time to run my game. :)

Haven't done much (unless you compare it to this one) Still time to join in.

Dotting for removal.

I'll ask for this game to be assigned to me as GM so I can mark it closed and get it off everyone's fields. :( Sorry all.
