See.. problem is you have to follow ALL of the code, as opposed to only the parts you want.
Details.. details.. I smite evil.. and some not so evil.. but hey, collateral damage right? Stick with me and I'll have you acquiring goods until your pilfering paladin heart is content :)
Well, at least now I can't be blamed for attracting all the undead..
Score:
Shisa: 2
Aerodus: 1
Tony: 1
And no Aerodus.. the last visit of the captain ghost was your doing.. he obviously came to see you or he would have waited until I was awake :)
See... thats where we beg to differ.
Ghost captain part 2, was actually there to exchange #'s with Shisa.
And the Ghoul Ninja, Obviously avoided the undead beacon.
Blinky and I are on to you!!
Edit War#1: Maybe he was shy? Or he realized that while you were sleeping, the only one he could rely on was Aerodus and Blinky
Blinky and I are on to you!!
Oooooh, maybe Blinky is the beacon! Looks like a beacon.. acts like a beacon.. and it was always there.. Hrm.. Paladin kraken summoner in cohorts with undead blinky beacon.. aha!
Besides the fact, that Blinky wasn't out when the Ghoul Ninja attacked Tony...
If blinky IS (Emphasis on the theoretical/heretical/Blasphemical IS), a beacon of undead attraction, then it is doing its job bringing them to the paladin for destruction/salvation.

Aha! so you admit that blinky is an undead beacon summoning said creatures for destruction (of the rest of us (implied but not stated)).. now the plot thickens!
Watch out Tony! Aerodus is now wanting to torture you with a hot metal poker. Don't tell him anything!
I knew the kraken summoner and his faithful undead beacon were out to get us rogues.. Next he'll try to get rid of the gnome (although, if he could just gag him, that'd be good too) so he can then take over the cannibal camp and rule the island. We must thwart his evil plans! :)
I'm on to you Aero!
Don't worry when the fungus comes alive and tries to eat us all, there will be hot pokers for everyone...
And whose to say its 'torture'? Perchance we used this opportunity to "rebuild/implant something in" him, faster, stronger, more...paladinesque
Hrm.. it looks like Marik is now working for Aerodus as the head torturer. So.. now we have the kraken king with his blinky undead beacon and head torturer against only us two innocent rogues.. *checks ship schedule* Hrm.. Alas, here I am just waiting for my ship to come in..
So.. is anyone else waiting for as soon as we cross the causeway...
***Insert Insane Dream Sequence ***
With a sudden rush, the tide rises removing any trace/hope of leaving the fungal island of doom the same way you came in. And in the far distance can be heard the sounds of a bird laughing, and gears grinding...
Once the party survives the trials of the Radioactive Goblin Raiders with Fungal Firepower, the sun starts to set and the tide slowly rolls back out, once more revealing the way home to the party.... WHEN SUDDENLY!!
They are assaulted by the Birdman's Crab Golem, who is blocking the path!!
"Bwak bwak bwak!" Cries the bird from his command station, "This weapons platform is now Fully Operational!! (bwak) I now possesses the most powerful force on the island!" As the first wave of crab missiles are fired at the party, exploding into the fungal shores, the party takes refuge behind a pillar of plant.
With the obligatory pun of, "It looks like we're in a real PINCH!" Aerodus and Blinky dash from out of cover to charge the mechanical monstrosity...
Queue the still frame of the sword raised as their sillouttes start to clash...
*** We Now Return You to Sanity (Thank you for Flying Insane Paladin Airlines ***
So.. is anyone else waiting for as soon as we cross the causeway...
***Insert Insane Dream Sequence ***
Seeing Aerodus charge the death crab, Shisa draws her weapon. With a snap-hiss, her short sword springs to life. Looking at Aerodus, she says, "Now don't you forget this! Why I should stick my neck out for you is far beyond my capacity! "
Hrm.. no C3P0 fans I see ;)
As we rush off into the grey (or gray depending on where you're from) unknown...
Prior to the start of the Assault on Fungal Fortress
Two Things, 1: Turns out Shield doesnt work while climbing (as I imagine it would be pretty hard to do)
2: Do the Accel climb you folks who cant fail the DC10 (by taking 10). (heck at worst going by RAW it looks like you will only make no progress if you do make a bad roll) Its 2x the move... for only the dc10! {or just take 10}
Climb
DC5 - 7.5 FT (.25 x 30 ft base)
DC10 - 15 FT (.5 x 30 ft base)
/End paladin climb speed envy.
/End paladin climb speed envy.
<More Wizard of Oz music..>
You would be more nimble
climbing fungal tendrils
If you only were a rogue
Armor'd not be impeding
Hiding they'd not be seeing
If you only were a rogue
:)
Ugh, things aren't looking good for the visiting team.
Note to self.. Hermean Blood Paladin..
Swim and Climb as class skills, Definetly worth lvl 1 feat in this game! Would have used it about 500x more than saving shield :(
Don't think I have used that feat at all this game
Definitely need swimming in this place.. oh, and climb.. and treating poisons.. and... and.. and..
This module's a killer.. having a blast though,but sheesh.. one or two bad dice rolls at the wrong time and it's deadly.
I got a baaad feeling about what those vegepygmies are doing with my body on the ship...
We have the fungus to rebuild him,
We can make him better than he was before:
Faster, Stronger...

of course, he'll be more squishy but he'll go better on a salad :)
I knew Shisa was turning into a cannibal! Now we have proof!

Hey, turn around's fair play.. everything on this island wants to eat us.. may as well return the favor :) I blame Taki.. she's a bad influence.
you proposing we leave tony there for... a day while we rest??

Not at all. She's simply stating her observations. Bear in mind, she's kicking herself mentally for leaving Tony behind :)
YOU I'm going to haunt.
Think of Athlete's Foot until the end of time...

Hey! It wasn't me that went dashing over the rope first ;) I um.. simply dashed back over the rope first. heh.
Ugh.. Tony.. quit haunting me.. itchy feet make me miss my bow shots :)
Shisa is going to stealth ahead and 'Take Care' of the haunting 'Problem'.
Mark my words, one of those arrows is going for Ghost Tony!
Or its the curse of the two weapon fighting...

Well.. as the only good rolls I seem to get are non-combat ones... Hrm.. Yah, I'd stealth in.. then wouldn't be able to hit the ghost anyways.. sooo.. I'll just keep plinking arrows in random directions and see what happens :)
Those longspears have reach.. so if you are closing into melee may want an acrobatics roll to prevent the AoO.
Unless of course the movement won't get you there in the first place...
or you go ahead of them in initiative for round 1.
Poor Tony... almost every encounter is him getting infected, diseased, poisoned, or made into a fungal incubator.
Aerodus can also pack mule the $$, although with him being prone to drowning/falling.. may not be the best of ideas.
For loot, I believe we are splitting it six (6) ways? (Not that it does us any good to spend it on, maybe can bribe mr crazy golemancer crow with the shiny jewelry?)
Ok took me a bit to find the supplies scavenged from the Jenivere.. but here we go
Block + Tackle (x1) (Probably at base camp)
Large Canvas Sheet x3 (Dimensions Not Withstanding) (Think we used these for tents)
Fishing Net x2
Grappling Hook x1
Bullseye Lanterns x2
Flasks of Lantern Oil, x12
150 feet long coil of hemp rope,
Shovel x5 (Probably at base camp)
Dried Rations x24 (Medium Person-24 days)
Along with the new additions:
432cp, 284sp, 123gp, jewelry worth 250gp
Bracers of ArmoUr (+1) #Marik so kindly letting the paladin borrow#
Wand of something (shiny) #Probably going to the wizard?
From... Ishirou's Family Treasure there is.. ah well I can hunt that down later.
Let me know if I am missing something!
Long/medium/small spears? Red pearl necklaces from the cannibals?
Once I'm back on my feet, I'd like to take a crack at recovering at least Aerodus' breastplate. Conditions permitting of course.
Or could try and skin something and maybe make some hide armor? Oh how mr shiny has fallen.. least he still has Blinky, the ever vigilant Lantern Archon in training.
Also...
Congratulations on not dying!! Glad you are still with the living..
Now if you start vomiting mini plant men.... that may be some cause for alarm, and possible swallowing of alchemist fire to burn the infection out.
Prof: Other than the mold growing all over.. what's the condition of this ship? is it possibly sea worthy? (with a little cleanup of course)
Aerodus: The chest from the super-zombie tunnel beneath our camp had:
A chest: revealing a fortune in coins (in total, 3,500cp, 2,000sp, 1,000gp, and 50pp), as well as a silk pouch full of garnets and amethysts (worth 500gp in total), a half-dozen moldered and ruined noble's outfits, a finely made bejeweled starknife forged of an unusual blue-silver iron (cold iron), a well-crafted buckler of darkwood, and a watertight scroll tube made of a glittering silvery material! (Tube had a raise dead or resurrect scroll)
As for the red pearls.. two plus the one I now wear. not sure who picked them up as we only 'searched' the bodies.. no mention of actually picking them up. Since it was your post.. I'd assume you did ;)

The fungus is pretty much all that's holding it together, so no, it's a long way from being sea worthy, and never will be again...

A paladin looting the bodies of the fallen? Scandalous! Next thing you know you'll be telling me he's torturing his friends 'for their own good' and having his wicked way with underage native girls... um... never mind... carry on... nothing to see here... ;)
In Aerodus's defense, he is trying to start a legitimate spear business.
Looting the corpses is for his startup capital,
Torturing people is practice being a salespaladin
And the last one.... ya, you got me there.
Edit: 'Getting to know' the locals? Its a stretch.
Welcome to Aerodus's Spear Emporium!
We have short spears, medium spears, long spears
Big spears! Small Spears, any kind of spear here!

We have more spears than you can shake a sharp pointy stick at!
Just come on down to Smuggler's Shiv, you can find our spear emporium based out of the lovely fungal fortress that was a ship. Just take the left after being ambushed by a naked ghoul monk ninja, and watch that rope! The first step is a doozy!
Starting to sound like a shifty rogue... hmmm.
Updated Aerodus for loss of armour, bracers of Armour, and Spear aquisition.

Plus! You can trade in all that unwanted gold too!

Ah.. the village is coming along fine. Now all we need is an inn..
I know, I'll put one up next to the Gem&Coin :) reasonable rates..

No pressure right?

Hey, I stumbled across this little beauty whilst randomly browsing the web and, for some strange reason, thought of you guys... ;)
Aerodus: Sing "Crom, Where is the sorcerer who killed my muderrrrr..."
Tony, tied to Aerodus' back: [chorus]"oooOOOOOooooOOOO..."
That was all sorts of awesome! Have to show this to my group!!
Now a question to ask is...
Is Prof inspired by This?? As that would make the island stay VERY 'interesting'
Dibs on Mundin (possibly Ishirou) being Billy "Someeethiinnggg oouuuttt thheerree waaiittiinngg fooorrr uuusss."
Taki as Anna
Aerodus as Blain
Marik as Poncho
Tony as 'Dutch'
Shisa as Hawkins
If it bleeds we can kill it...
Curse you Potts! I can't get the songs out of my head!
Tony: Danger Magnet
Is that part of the swashbuckler package? Almost feels like he needs hero points to keep it going...
or Even better..
Tony: The Swashbuckler
(In Best Mako Impression)
Though he was trapped on a haunted island, Tony did not fear the terrible horrors that waited for him. As his chronicler I will do my best to tell you a tale of high adventure!
My apologies if I rushed anything..Aerodus figured that Tony is good to go!!
Don't lose! And good LUCK!
[ooc] For some reason I imagine Shisa hiding in the brush with a compact mirror, trying to reflect light into the cannibal's eyes.

Ha! I am not so nefarious.. after all.. you promised no one would interfere with the duel. Of course.. once it's over, I'll be sure to pull out my mirror and give it a shot.. heh.
