Perils of Crescent Harbor (Inactive)

Could you suppress or treat the disease? Or, if that's an option, would Aghon be willing to do so?

I'll chime in and point out that since Aghon knows the spell, he also knows the natural remedy for it: the right diet. And Lo and Behold!--You've got the cook's mate as part of your party!

I get the impression we're in a holding pattern until Culder gets back, and I'm good with that.

I'm around for a few more hours today and might be able to check in briefly tomorrow night if anyone has any questions.

If the teeth came out from damage they should go back in (at least temporarily) with some healing... if Maheem and Syl are on board for burying the hatchet that's good enough for me. We can always kill Aretta later if need be.

Quick Note: It's looking like tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/24) might be a rain-out for me. Should be back to posting on Wednesday, though.

Quick Note: It looks like between a mid-day doctor's appointment and helping my sister with a few errands, I'm unlikely to post tomorrow. The good news (barring major snow/ice storms) is that my schedule should then be free until the very end of February.

To help Jordan's sudden interest in the ship's officers, here's his thoughts: recognizing the need for allies, it would also be good to have some friends in high places. The mage lady would be a good choice, but I am planning on asking the mage lady if she ever needs assistance in getting ingredients. Might be a good thing to to do on our next excursion.

It looks like my area's in for a pretty good snowstorm all day tomorrow (10-15" of snow plus decent wind), so I'll probably take a day off from posting tomorrow. Should be back on Friday though.

I'm working on a post now to get us into Bloody Hour and beyond.

Sorry for the latest delay. I've been caught up with other games and RL issues and was kind of at a loss on how to proceed here. I think I've got a solution and will move things along again tomorrow afternoon.

Good day pushing things forward! Library's closing but I'll be back tomorrow.

Before I forget, the library will be closed this coming Monday (2/20) for President's Day, so there'll be a mini-lull for Sunday and Monday.

There's a slight chance I won't be posting tomorrow. Trying to catch up with some RL stuff.

Real life pirates... Now I feel bad. Assaulting a peaceful vessel in order to attain personal wealth is WRONG! Good thing it's just a game. :D

This is just a test for my benefit, I've noticed that the "1 new" notifications haven't been appearing on other message boards for me, and wanted to see if that was the case here. So, if no one responds to this, I'll have my answer. :)

You are not the only one, it's forum-wide. The powers that be do know about it, and are working on it. They pushed out a website update late yesterday and that caused it.

Looks like they may be back now?

Sorry--rough day for me. I'll post the next update tomorrow. Maybe that'll give Vincent time to get in his next action.

I should be able to get Jarvis' actions up this evening. Stupid work before a week of vacation is going to be the death of me.

In terms of new items in Grok's store, let's just assume that if you can afford a certain item, it's now in stock...sort of a reward for you guys putting up with what's been a very low wealth/magic item campaign. Things should go on the upswing some once you're no longer confined to a boat. :)

Also, there's a decent chance--between a mid-day doctor's appointment and the forecast of all-day rain--that I won't post an update tomorrow.

who here besides me is planing how to get away with offing a few of our cremates?

Well, one thing I'd like some clarification on is what's three plan after getting to port peril. Are we getting repairs and then going to rendezvous with Harrigan? In other words, is Plugg still subordinate to Harrigan, or is he a captain in his own right now?

'Get away with'?

Well, I plan to kill Scourge... I'm not super concerned about whether people figure out it was me, though I'm hoping not to end up dead/in the brig over it.

Well, one thing I'd like some clarification on is what's three plan after getting to port peril. Are we getting repairs and then going to rendezvous with Harrigan? In other words, is Plugg still subordinate to Harrigan, or is he a captain in his own right now?

Harrigan made Mr. Plugg captain of the Man's Promise for its voyage to Port Peril. Once there, Plugg's to make inquiries and find out if the captured ship can be refitted as a pirate ship at a reasonable price. If not, he's to sell it. If it is, chances are he'll stay on as its captain but a subordinate one in Harrigan's fleet.

Good to know. Thanks!

So, my plan is to try and get Plugg and Scourge to kill each other

Hmmm... I'd really rather kill Scourge myself... unless he can get my anchor back when we get to port peril (then you can get him killed however you like).

Well, i can try making some drow poison to knock him out, or some alchemical glue if any of you have a prank you want to try

Monday's a state holiday in my neck of the woods, so my next update will likely come on Tuesday. Happy Easter!

Noooooo... I was proofreading my post and accidentally erased it on myself!!! Garrrr. I'm going to bed, I'll post tomorrow am.

Seems there's a lot of that going around. I did the same thing with my main post yesterday...was nearly done, decided to check on something on a previous page, and didn't switch tabs. Post gone. No Ctl + C copy. Expletives follow. In the library.

Quick Question: Have any of you guys played the Pathfinder module "Feast of Ravenmoor?" I'm thinking of "Shackles-erizing" it for later use in this campaign.

Haven't ever really played a Pathfinder module until this game. Read some of'em, but not that one.

I have, but I can keep my player knowledge separate (especially since Culder's not really the 'figuring stuff out' type).

Also, did I say am? Sorry, busy day...

I'm actually in a Feast of Ravenmoor play through elsewhere online. However, like Culder, I have no issue keeping player knowledge separate from me knowledge personally.

So, just a thought I want to put out here...A storm seems a great time to rid the ship of some undesirables. Thoughts on that?

Also, a question for our fantastic GM...how many undesirables could we get rid of and still be able to operate the ship?

My phone (which I do most of my posting from) isn't working, so my posting may be a bit sporadic for a few days. I'll try to get a post up from a computer tomorrow.

@Aghon: After the attack on the Man's Promise, the 'new blood' was allowed to bear arms and armor. You really don't have a weapon handy?

@Culder: Technically, you're supposed to have two hands free to climb, so drawing a weapon while climbing is out. Also, if my math's right, it'd take at least one accelerated climb check (with a -5 penalty) for you to climb the 30 feet in a single round. You could maybe try an accelerated climb down 20 feet (the DC is 12) and then attempt a DC 15 Acrobatics roll to jump down the last 10 feet, drawing your oar while your hands are free. A failed check would leave you prone, though.

I'm sorry, I should have been way more specific/clear (I was trying to post quickly). You said there was a lull in the storm, and I'm not currently in any danger from the sea creatures, so I was just going to take 10 on the climb checks... that gives me a 19, which is more than enough to accelerated climb. Two accelerated climbs gives me 40' of movement and I only need 30' to reach the deck, so I was hoping I could draw with those last 10' feet? I can use them horizontally across the deck if that helps the cause?

@Aghon: After the attack on the Man's Promise, the 'new blood' was allowed to bear arms and armor. You really don't have a weapon handy?

Well my assumption was that he had both hands occupied doing the rigging and such? I suppose he could have drawn a weapon as a move and attacked, but he was currently threatened by two of the ugly buggers, and I, mistakenly (I just checked and realized I was wrong), thought that drawing a weapon was a move action that provoked. Sorry about that. I'll remember that for future encounters. Drawing a weapon is not a provoking action. Sorry about that.

RL=crazy; plz bot as needed.

Got ya covered, Captain.

Apologies for the unannounced day off yesterday.

Now for a couple of announced days off....

I've got something planned for this Monday, so I likely won't be able to post for two days (Sunday/Monday, though rainy weather might change things).

Also, next Monday's a holiday, so I'll be unable to post the following Sunday/Monday as well.

Damn…I’m SO jealous! I wish Alestorm would write the theme song for one of MY characters!

This one’s for Culder, though I can’t help but think that other folks might want to dedicate it to Scourge, Plugg, and/or their minions when the inevitable mutiny comes.

Wow- you're completely right (about that being perfect for Culder, and about it being NSFW)

I'm sorry for the extended silence. I'm overwhelmingly busy still and sadly I'm going to have to take some time away from the boards. I'm hoping to be back in 6-8 weeks but I really can't say that with any confidence. You can bot me or write me out, or kill me off spectacularly. Thanks for the opportunity to play, I really enjoyed this game and the other characters. Enjoy the rest of the game. Hopefully maybe I'll see you again in a couple months.

Well, no way in hell I'm going to kill off the Captain! I still think of his anchor lying somewhere in the shallows between Crescent Harbor and mainland Port Peril from time to time and wonder what sort of recovery mission mini-adventure I'll create when the time comes.

I have an idea that I could use to take Culder out of the game for a while and then bring him back if/when you can return. I think that's the route I'll take, but I'll listen to any input from the other players.

Thanks for what you and your character have brought to this game. I hope the tides of fate will see fit to bring you back this way in a couple of months or so.

Wow! That's a one-inch punch to the solar plexus no doubt about it. Hopefully your RL is busy with good stuff! If we can write the Cap'n into "limbo" I'd sure appreciate just having the hope that he's coming back at some point. In the mean time, what the hell are we going to do about having a heavy hitter? Is recruiting others an option?

In the mean time, what the hell are we going to do about having a heavy hitter? Is recruiting others an option?

We could try moving forward with four PCs (I can dial down the challenge a bit for the island's encounters), but adding one more player would be a real option as well. If we go that route, do we do an open recruitment on the boards or invite players we know who we think might be interested? Thoughts?

I'm personally fine with either or. I can throw a shout out to the two other games I'm in and see if anybody there wants to join? I'll wait till we hear back from Vincent, Jordan, and Jarvis before posting anything, though.

In the mean time, what the hell are we going to do about having a heavy hitter?

you saying vincent can't cut it? need I remind you that I was the best at the rope climbing challenge? (jk, jk)

Honestly I don't want to lose Culder, he's been an interesting character and we should get his anchor back. However I don't think pulling from the boards is really the best thing to do, as it would be pretty hard for someone to go through the trouble of making a character only to be replaced in about a month and a half. Also fitting in an extra character all of a sudden might be hard to do, maybe steve has something that can work, but he is in an awkward position as we are on uncharted islands.

I think that the better thing to do would be to either dial down the challenges a little bit, or have one of the other PC's, or even the GM him/her control Culder while he's gone, and i don't mean they control the characters action when it comes to moralistic decisions, I mean they just control it in combat or when you need to make a skill check.

any ways those are my opinions, sorry for being an unorganized mess.

With our pacing and such, I'm fine with us rolling up against some slightly de-tuned fights. I mean, we are losing a damnable wrecking ball of a man. I do want the Cap'n to have the chance to return and claim both anchor and ship, so let's do whatever DM hand wavy magic you've got to limbo state him for a few weeks. I'm good with that.

Also, sorry, I've had a heck of a time getting on Paizo from work lately. Thankfully things are stabilizing at home somewhat, so I should be better to post from there.

Happy 4th of July! I'll be back on the 5th.

Due to storms in my area and a laptop backpack that's not waterproof, I'll only have small posting windows today and tomorrow, so let me know which landmark you guys want to investigate first and I'll move us along.

Might be M.I.A. on Saturday as well; expecting a biggish delivery that I'll need to be home to accept.

My vote is for the hut.

Rain and storms! Lucky. Minus the non-waterproof backpack part, but rain is a luxury here.

I'm fine either way, hut or cornfield. Since Jordan wants hut, I'll just second that vote to make it easier. To the hut we go!

Hut times ahead!
