Oops, just realized I wrote for 3 days when we'd said 2. 3 days then unless that's a problem for Zach?

Zach ... a few times during gameplay you've mentioned us being able to make a change to the characters before 3rd level. I was just curious as to what kind of change that was? I'll probably be finalizing Firebottom's level 3 statblock by Wednesday and wanted to know what I could change from the original creation if need-be.

You can change your character anyway you want or make a new character all together but you have until tomorrow.

Sending PM now ....

Just to give you guys a heads up. I might be an hour late to the game. I am having dinner with my sister before she goes back to Michigan. I might be late getting back. I shouldn't be late but I might so heads up. I'll be logged in to skype on my phone and I'll let you guys know more the closer we get to game time. I would prefer you start off without me I don't want to delay the game on my half.

On a side note, I was thinking about dropping word caster as I'm missing spells like floating disk and magic missile. Word casting was suppose to be more flexible but my selection of spells is way lacking. I have made it work so far so I might not change it, but I will go over the spell lists one more time and see how lacking it is and let you know.

The only thing that will change is the spells I can cast, not how I cast them or anything.

Fun game as always. Just crappy that we lost MJ. That fight was needlessly hard because of our lack of silver weapons. We are dumb. ;)

Guys, so sorry about that but it was out of my hands. My internet went down and no amount of resetting the modem was helping.
My apologies!

My apologies!

Ironically, just before my internet connection died last night I was thinking to myself that it might not be a bad idea if we exchanged some cell numbers for emergency texting purposes. I really wish I'd been able to get you guys a message last night, I felt really bad.

Zoidberg agrees

Can anyone give me a run-down of what happened? In hindsight, I'm really wishing we'd just bashed in the front door like was the original plan. I'd at least have gotten to throw more than 2 bombs.

Just checked the updated ships inventory ... ALCHEMIST EQUIPMENT?!?

Now I'm even more annoyed I got dropped last night!!! I can't wait to hear what happened.

Ok guys. While you don't get any days of freeplay this week, you take a breather before heading up the next level of the warehouse. You get full hp and Half you spells and special abilities (rounded down) back.

Oh sweet. Thank Zack, Our mighty dm god is being merciful.

Zach, did you use Firebottom at all? I'd already used two bombs (out of nine) if you want to make a ruling on what's left.

Guys, I feel like a jackass about this but right now it's looking like I'm 99% likely out. I'll be able to update for sure closer to game time tomorrow.

I also will be late, and I feel like an ass as well. Its my son's graduation (pre-school, I know...) today at 6:30 MST. I should be back around 7:00-7:30 MST at the latest. Sorry about the late notice but I forgot (I was told 2 weeks ago) and I was reminded just a few seconds ago.

I want to play, and will be there. I will just be running late.

On a side note, its been a while since I DMed and it was a ton of fun running the Skull and Shackles game for my brother and his friends. I dug out some old notes and If we all have the time would like to run a game for you guys if your interested.

It will take me a while to organize everything and get the first half of the home brew adventure into map tools. So it might be a month out or so. Its something I wrote for 3.5 but should transition into PF without any trouble.

Let me know if you guys are interested. Maybe I can run it Zack if you ever want to take a break?

See you all tonight! (hopefully you can make it MJ.)

I'm going to go ahead and cancel tonight's game. With one late and one almost certainly be absent I can't really justify running what I've got in store for 2 people to begin with and 3 people to end. I will however plan for next week.

cya then, Zach

Sorry man I got home at around 7:40pm MST. I feel bad holding up the game like I did. I will so you all next Thursday!

Hey guys, I'm going to be just a bit late tonight ... picking up my pup for the weekend. I'll be online about 9:15. Sorry for the short notice.

Damn you life! But everybody else is ok right?

PM with my cell number sent to Zach in case of internet weirdness (again).

im good. i dont see anyone else on skype...

Level 4 hp roll: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
This doesn't include my favorite class bonus (I haven't decided what I'm going to do with that yet.

Edit: Since it was bellow average that makes it 5+my favored class bonus if I allocate it to hp.

Level 4 HP: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Okay PoisonToast, I updated my spells (added a 0lvl, changed out a 1lvl spell, and got a new 2lvl spell). I think that out of everything I did though, you will want Blindness-Deafness on your sword (which I now have). So if you want it Bam! you now have one charge of that spell on your +1 Spell Storing Short Sword (I'll do that while we are recruiting people so I can have a chance to rest and regain it)! I also changed out sleep for charm person and if anyone else thinks I should do something different with my spell choices just let me know: I get one 0lvl spell, I can change a 1lvl spell (charm person for sleep), and I get one 2lvl spell (my current choices are on my character sheet which is on my profile).

Firebottom Level 4 HP > 1d8 ⇒ 1

EDIT ... taking the 4.

Hey poisontoast, is poof and your brother joining because I need to know how hard to make the encounter.

level 4 HP: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

poof you need to roll for levels 2 and 3 too. I'm also going to guess that Don't Trust Me is PoisonToast's brother. All the sailors are ready I just need somebody to make me a knowledge local roll to see how much backstory you get.

Hey Zack, can I use Diplomacy to gather information on the sailors? According to the pfsrd, "You can also use Diplomacy to gather information about a specific topic or individual." So if I can cool if not I will defer to the more knowledgeable members of the group and Bregen will just go drink himself silly.

How is it that we roomed together for 3 years and you still don't know how to spell my name?

Also yes but you will be getting different information from a knowledge local check because I figure that you would be asking the person directly or people in the tavern because you don't want to leave the recruiting table.

umm, I have the belt that gives me another 2 points of con. I don't know where I should start adding that in. I'll just assume for level 4. Let me know if otherwise and I can add 1 or 2 more hit points depending on what you say.

level 2 HP: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Level 3 HP: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Am I allowed to to take half the total for my level 3 HP? so that it would be 5+con? or just leave it?

for the con mod add +1 hit points for all your levels as long as your wearing the belt. Also for Level 3, you are right, take 5+Con

Your sailor choices are up...I may have gone overboard with the backstories...

Another note: I need to change your ship. I just looked up what a cutter actually is and it apparently doesn't sail on the ocean...so yeah that's going to have to change.

Haha! I want to hire the lot of them.

I'll read through and post my opinions later tonight.

I definitely want Swish-Swish though .... and oddly enough, the Tengu.

Okay, after reading through them all I agree with MJ. For the low low price of 85gp a month (I mean that is just a couple of weapons and sets of armor we pick up off of some mooks we just killed) we can have a full crew of 9 people with different abilities, which I have to say sounds awesome.

This is what our crew could look like for 85gp/month:

Deck Hands (31gp/month): Brother's Grimm, Ray, and Yoshimoto (When necessary).
Captain (15gp/month): Ishmael Sharkskinner (We have to make sure we sober him up).
Navigator (12gp/month): Thyra (She can take over for Ishmael if he is too drunk).
Healer (10gp/month): Lady Ashlynn (Maybe if we get her friendly enough she will provide other healing services for free as well).
Gunner/Deck Hand (5gp/month): Swish Swish (During battles he can help who ever is on the cannon and when outside of combat he can be a deck hand).
Cook/Wizard (12gp/month): Zanzibar (I mean his whole life revolves around plants so I'm sure he can cook some good food with them! Also during battle I'm sure he can prepare some pretty nasty spells to throw at the enemy).

We eventually need a first mate but we can choose one after we get to know the crew better, also if some of the new crew would be better served in other places we can easily move them around. So what do you guys think?

I agree with the Ishmael/Thyra combination. How about we label Ishmael as the Pilot rather than Captain ... the PC's are definitely the captains of the boat.

Let's stick Ray with Zanzibar to cook. And if he doesn't want to cook, then he's not worth 12gp/month.

The botanist being made to cook makes me think of a Mitch Hedberg joke ...

As a comedian, I always get into situations where I'm auditioning for movies and sitcoms, you know? As a comedian, they want you to do other things besides comedy. They say "alright you're a comedian, can you write? Write us a script. Act in this sitcom." They want me to do s!$% that's related to comedy, but it's not comedy, man. It's not fair, you know? It's as though if I was a cook, and I worked my ass off to become a really good cook, and they said "alright you're a cook... can you farm?"

First off, great joke. Second, I can agree with everything else you said except that we should get rid of Zanzibar if he doesn't want to cook. I'm sure there is something else we could use him for and I'm sure it would be nice to have a full fledged wizard on board with a nice big spellbook (I mean he was a professor after all!). During combat we may even be able to stick him on the cannon (to enchant its shots and help reload it) and outside of combat he probably has a loot of handy spells that he could use to help around the boat. Also I mean he is a gnome wizard with a mustache!

Oh, we still take him on board ... he just doesn't get 12gp/month. Basically he's looking for us to pay him to shuttle him around.

Ah I get it. We tell him, "You cook and cast some spells and we will pay you, otherwise you are welcome to come aboard for a fee." I like it.

I'm also going to guess that Don't Trust Me is PoisonToast's brother.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't think so. I'll ask.

IMPORTANT

Zach has asked me to inform you all that there will be no game today as he has personal matters to attend to. However, if you guys are free tomorrow or some other time this week we can possibly play on a different day. So just let me know your schedules if you want to try and meet up some other time. He says he is extremely sorry about this.

Once again I am so sorry for cancelling at the last minute. My grandmother died on Wednesday and I had to be here for my family. I can do a make up session tomorrow, Saturday noon, and if we wing it I could possibly do a half a session Sunday night while I'm at work and then start up again after I get back and I could probably finagle the same thing Monday night.

It seems like a lot of juggling. I am up for just waiting until Thursday. Life happens. Sorry about your loss, Zack.

its cool don't worry about it. Monday at 6 be there or be square.

what time zone?

pacific

okay my personal trainer just moved my appointment so the game is going to start around 15 minutes late.

Understood.

Hey torturer ...

Level 5 HP: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
