sorry for the long first post... I got carried away, I'll try not to let it happen too often.
It is fine, I love long posts, once everyone gets in I will move us onwards in the festival.
Still waiting for everyone to post before the action begins.
Just to let everyone know, I'm GMT +10 timezone wise.
Example 12pm EST is 2am for me.
So sorry in advance if I hold anything up if everyone else is in America or Canada, but I will be contributing at least once a day (except right now as we are waiting on Cael).
I was training someone all day at work today... I couldn't just tell him : "Look the other way while I use work hours to make post on my PBPs...
But my post is up now!
I will explain the rules when those who to join do in the discussion thread.
Heads up all... I am going to GAmex this weekend... we leave early in the morning and not sure when/if I'll be able to check in before Monday... If I can post, it will be limited in time with brief posts... Please feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up... thanks...
Here are the Rules
Step 1 you can try to identify the drinks a DC 15 Knowledge (local) check or an alcohol-related Profession check such as Profession (brewer) - both are trained only. This check stands for all the rounds of the contest so you can pick a favourite beverage, and keep selecting it. Presumably you pick one of the less alcoholic drinks.
Step 2 if you did not identify a drink roll a d20. A result of 1 means the character takes a triple strength drink, a 2–9 means you taken a double strength drink, and an 11–20 means you take a standard strength drink.
You can consume a number of alcoholic beverages equal to 1 + double his Constitution modifier. Drinks consumed in excess of this total cause you to become sickened for 1 hour per drink above the maximum. If your character keeps drinking after being sickened, each additional drink requires the character to attempt a Fortitude save with a DC of 15 + the number of drinks consumed since becoming sickened. On a failed save, the character is (messily) nauseated for 1 round and disqualified from further play; his is likely doused with a bucket of water.
Probably easiest to go ahead and make 11 sets of roles and then check through to see if you fail. 11 is the record you are shooting for.
Zeex as you are going to be gone for the weekend I will GM Bot your drinking if that is ok.
1 is triple
2-9 is double
11-20 is normal
What is 10?
10 is no alcohol at all? lol
Yeah that is a problem in the module haha, lets make it a double. Zeex if you can do your own I would appreciate it, I would like to avoid controlling players.
Looks like there will be no record breakers in this group, Cael and Zeex had the best odds but you never know, maybe Cayden is on your side.
I would have done better if I could have identify the drinks.
Oh well!
Yep, if you could have Identified the drinks it would be just one DC 15 fortitude save to beat the record. You have a +4 mod so you get 9 for free the tenth makes you sick and if you make the 11th fort save you break the record.
Lol glad I didn't play.
Even if I identified the drinks, I could still only drink 3 drink becoming sickened XD
Maybe I should've tried to identify the drinks for Cael.
But alas, while thing happened while I was sleeping.
Pretty sure she could've gotten away with it, a lot of people were probably crying out which drinks they should choose.
Let me know when you want me to push to the race.
Probably after Zeex and Cael reply in the thread
Works for me
On the road. Will be home tonight. Will post then. I do take the offer for the remedy
Just waiting for the rest of our players but that was a strong performance K'wai.
Sweet!
Love being able to see through fog >:D
Well done K'wai!
Only Zeex and Cael left.
Also keen to see how the NPCs did after the sudden change in weather ;D
Morgana was so caught up I actually forgot to use her guidance lol
Thanks!
Yeah, a monk who can naturally swim is just about the most fun character I could imagine for a pirate game.
He's basically got all the needed abilities right off the bat, and doesn't need to wear armor or carry real weapons!
Plus, green skin is awesome in my opinion!
The old game Nethack had fortune cookies, one of which was "Never trust a random number generator in a magic field."
Do I get the feeling we should be doing nonlethal or is it okay to hurt them?
I think the impression is nonlethal, you can see they have left their weapons at a nearby table and K'wai has his fists out, you also see him invited into the pit. He will likely invite you next round. His goal was to not run the race and just lie and claim he won it. It is a lot easier to get away with it if the true winners are unconscious.
Intimidate takes a minute to work in that way does it not.
Are we waiting for Zeex and Cael to go?
I noticed Rik went last and I'm after him but Zeex and Cael haven't gone yet and no one's posted in a while..
Yeah the site has been down for like 14 hours or so, it is Zeex turn at the top of the initiative. The site has not been doing so well recently, hopefully they figure everything out.
Agreed.
Probably some carryover from PaizoCon and the various Starfinder announcements
Zeex he is out of the fight, he will not cause any problems for you as long as he remains unattacked. You have taken another 4 nonlethal, Morganna Rikkivar posted his action before his turn, sorry if that confused you. His action has been resolved and you are up.
Slightly confuse here, do I show up now and it ends my turn, or do I have all my action now?
^^ This
Also I'm relieved it want just me.
I thought my internet was just being s#&% and was worried about missing my activity requirement D:
Glad it's resolved ish though
No I mean you show up and get to act on your initiative, so actually right now, effectively you arrived at the very end of the last turn and that was your action. Now you are in the combat on your initiative which was a 10. Your dex is higher so you go after Morgana but before Huldren. You and Cael are up Morgana
Hey guys, thanks so much for sticking with me, I apologize for the poor posting rate the past two weeks. I was on a road trip with friends and could not find the time to keep fully engaged. I am back now and will return to a far more reliable update rate. Lets get back to the adventure.
no problem, welcome back. hope it was a great trip!
It was phenomenal but it is time to get back to real life. Argh and all that you know.
Was thinking that since we're pirates (soon) that we should roll something akin to initiative to dividing loot so that those that are online similar times to the GM don't always have advantage on loot division?

Or work out something metagamey so that we can achieve parity.
Oh, and it looks like Morgana is our item identifier. She should roll to see if she can figure them out.
Yeah, I am perfectly ok with you meta gaming loot division in the discussion tab so everyone gets their fair share. It shouldn't be an all out grab what you can because that might lead to item imbalance. I will run it however you wish thought, let me know when we are ready to move,
Loot wise, Kineticist don't seem to need a lot to be functional. Magical light armor, belt of constitution and cloak of resistance are pretty much the basic. So I'm up for whatever system you guys want to go for.
Agreed, I am down for whichever loot allocation system we want to use.
K'Wai is a bit impulsive and flighty, so his IG actions aren't always so well thought out.
Ack I messed up, the cloak is magical as well. Apologies.
Just as an aside, if we are going to operate in the blind about magical items and get into squabbles about loot, this game will absolutely implode post-haste.
I get that there's a time difference between posters, and PbP doesn't really flow like in person games do, but that also necessitates a bit more give and take among us players.
Also worth noting: pirates were among the earliest version of shared-capitalist "companies", with written contracts on labor & wages, enforced restrictions on punishment, wage garjishment, etc.
First, I suggest Morgana gets the cloak.
I suggest that we simply keep track of treasure allocated to each of us on a sheet. I think we can still distribute items by need, and then when things get too unbalanced, whoever's lowest gets the next pick.
By talking about this before splitting loot, we're good.
I also suggest that we start putting a share or half share into a fund for things like healing wands and other party stuff.
I fully agree, I think sharing information on items and such should be a given, even though you are pirates games don't last long if people feel like they are getting cheated when it comes to loot division. I am again perfectly fine with an outside gameplay meta game. You guys can negotiate and ask for certain things to balance the loot.
Well, since it's a amulet of natural armor, and K'Wai and you are our front liner, it make sense that you get them.
I'm more of a ranged figther anyway, zapping people with my [insert code for red font] "Sith" [/insert code for red font] Lightning!
I agree that it's good to have the front liners get stuff. In any case, I think we've got a good plan going forward. We just need to formalize the list and get on with the fun part of the game.
Rikki - 464 gold, 1 cure moderate potion, everburning torch.
Are we going to do it like the party is a 6th player?
That would mean dividing the loot by 6 and each getting 353.5 gold, including the party savings.
I'm good with a shared "healing pool" working like an extra PC share.
