About what time is it in game? Late afternoon, right? So like 4 PM or so? And if Vic is taking the midnight shift, that's still like 8 hours. And then 12 to 6 is like 6 hours. I'm assuming we all get up at around 6 or 7 AM, but maybe even 8 at the latest. So I could sleep for 4 hours until 8, take watch until 12, then at 4 AM Des could take watch. Or Des and I could switch places if he wants. I don't really care. He might appreciate sleeping from 12 to 8 or so because spellcasting can be a drain. Thoughts?
I'm thinking its closer to 7 or 8. Around dusk. Still plenty of time for everyone to sleep.
The crabs attacked a little after what you assume is 2pm, and b the time you get the bodies gathered, take stock of your supplies and such, it is close to 4 when you begin your evening tasks in earnest. SO you are able to craft some basic gear in that time, prep food, forage a little, etc before it gets too dark for anything else.
Desula can get his sleep in, without issue. Ideally we can get a watch order set up in advance so i can essentially make a macro in case of night shennanigans. =]
after your evening action it is going to be around 8 or so when the sun starts to go down.
How many craft checks can we make in that time? Will it take multiple days for Pyre to make his axe?
I'm going to say that you are able to make your Axe, helping Desula, and if nobody wants to use the other Large Claw, you can start on a backup axe, as they are Fragile weapons. are you also making any throwable weapons?
You also have a solid 5 days of food (not including tonight's meal) for your current sized group if the others wake up tomorrow.
Does anyone else want weapons? VIctor, you can snag a Tail-Blade and essentially aways threaten, Tho, are you taking a Punching Dagger, a Regular dagger, a few extras so you can throw them?
Rogues aren't automatically proficient with Scimitars, so using one of the medium sized claws for a short-sword would work.
I'll roll for Watch tonight as soon as i get the encount- urp, um. . . forget i said that. . .
Anyway, I'll roll for watch for anyone that hasn't posted shortly.
Well said Sir! forgot about that.
Victor has a strength of 5, so most weapons other than bombs and crossbows are really useless to him.
and with low point buy and Armor as DR, the +2 from flanking you get for threatening is the real kicker
Sorry! Is it possible you can veto that action and have me search it alone?
Sure, just post it. The body is floating in slowly, so let me know how far out you will swim for it. And roll another perception to investigate when you get there
What? You said it was floating to shore...
As you can see, Thoyoitu is a tad...dramatic in combat.
That's fantastic. Everyone can take an action and I'll roll initiative for you
Des has a point. I do get into trouble a lot. Last time it happened, I got promoted to captain. Maybe this time I'll become a god? Or maybe just mythic ;)
Oh I forgot to post the results of my leveling up.
discovery-smoke bomb
Also do we get a feat? Victor will probably pick up weapon finesse or an extra bomb.
No Feat at level 2. Fighters do, cause class features, and I've made Power attack and Weapon Finesse automatic, so everybody has it.
oh cool.
GM, what's your opinion on PCs talking when it's not their turn like I did? When I GM, I typically allow it as long it's not too long-winded and also doesn't have any checks associated with it. So I'll let my players say something threatening, but not let them roll Intimidation until their turn. But I'd like to know your policy on this.
I don't mind it. For the sake of flow, if you can read what you wrote in 6 seconds then you're totally good, but i'm not takinga stopwatch to the board or anything.
Also, nobody's taken a heal check to look at the body yet, nor tried to determine what's on the body =}
As captain, I have to put the lives of many over the potential life or usefulness of a dead body. We can do without whatever is on the body, I'm sure. And if not, we'll all be too dead to blame me :P
To keep the game moving, I'm keeping my action as-is. I don't want to hold us back because I didn't choose the best move.
No worries. You can add the damage if you like. It's not quite going to be enough to take it out, but the damage will help
What happens when I hit 0 Vigor?
nothing really. It's jst when you ave lost half of your wounds hat you are in trouble. Wounds are a lot harder to heal, (1 wound per die of healing) but you can function just fine all the way dow to your threshold. Then you have to start making con checks to stay conscious.
Also just saw that scimitars are not finesse weapons, but light weapons like short swords and lighter work fine to use dex to attack
Thoy if don't remember anything about victor, it won't really matter if you live and the body dies. (;
Either way we have ros nearby, so that should help.
Can we even eat Eel?
It's good roasted and covered in terayaki sauce.unagi man! hahahah
Again: Did ANYONE take points in Profession (Cook)? I have Profession (Thief), but I don't think there's any cookbooks I can steal here :P
Nope but you can do it with survival too. It wont be as good but still.
Also i can craft masterwork weapons with craft weapons right?
100% correct on all counts, pyre.
No teriake for your unagi, but it is still food and sustaining with survival. Unless you find and recruit a cook.
You can craft MWK gear
Cool. I was more thinking of the bones and skin than the meat.
I strongly recommend we fall back to land.
Eels have slimy skin that breaks easily and pretty soft bones. They're kinda useless if you want to make something out of them other than food.
Victor, You're up right now. I'll post a little later to update.
Sorry about the lack of an update yesterday, RL game night ran long and has a long day at work
Mine was canceled because my PC wouldn't work (I'm the GM).
alive but waiting for pyre to finish off the eel.
Nice shot, the eel is dead. More update tomorrow morning
GM, if Ros flies up, can we get a rough map or something? I mean, it's no big deal, but it'd be nice to have, but again we can do without. Also, what's the slaver's name? The community is as follows, right? Thoyoitu, Desula, Pyre, Victor, Rosalyn, Bessie, Hezalah, Slaver.
Also when do we start with the kingdom building? That was one part that interested me about this game (though it's all been consistently interesting :D ) and I just sorta...want to plant a flag and call me the ruler :P Also, I think my ruler title should be Captain, in honor of our roots :) Anyway, what rules are we using? The Paizo/Jon Brazer Enterprises ones?
The island is tropical for the most part, so tropical jungle, potential for serious rain-storms, etc.
once you hit mythic and make it back to the main-land you will ahve your quest to start your kingdom and building your settlement
Oh, I thought we were building a kingdom on an island, though your idea makes a lot more sense IMO. I still insist on being captain, though.
Thoy's leadership instincts sure did kick in, and it only took a shipwreck to do so. I guess he was always focused back as thief, though :)
