RD's Skull & Shackles: Wormwood Mutiny (Inactive)

Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

Yep

I'll update Lini's profile and stats when I get home tonight. I should probably do some work, while at work.

Will be offline until tomorrow night. Bot me if necessary.

Talfryn: Can you add some info to your character sheet? Initiative, attacks, etc.

They are on the character sheet, do you mean to the profile? There's a link to a full character sheet on the homepage on the profile, the homepage URL is the character sheet.

ahh. didn't see the url. that is fine.

...nothing to see here.. erm... :)

FYI-
I am at a conference so my posting will likely be morning and night.

Just a note, I'm going to be pretty much unavailable Friday-Sunday.

Sorry.

I am back in town after a week of hell.
Expect the normal post rate again.
Thanks

Sorry for your hell. Glad you are back :)

Hi.
Just want to touch base with folks. Am I steamrolling too much? The island is pretty big, and can take a while to explore. If you'd rather do stuff randomly, thats fine. I know I have been nudging you folks in certain directions.

My goal is to finish this by mid-December.

Mid-december or mid-november?

I'm fine with the pace, most of this require only extermination and not a long investigation, so whatever comes may work, in my opinion.

This is module plus lengrh so I'm guessing mid-December.

I am perfectly fine with how things are going. No problem with nudging, since we can lose two or three days deciding on a course of action that is essentially inevitable. (Something that would only take a few minutes in RL)

I have no problem with pace thus far, and it would be far better to finish early then it would be to be close to the deadline and risk not getting any game-day related boons.

@Linark: since this is a module, it takes longer, but you get 3xp for it :)

thanks for the feedback thus far. keep it coming as you see fit.

I'm cool with nudging. In person I love sweeping areas, but if it has no real bearing on the story, I'm all for forging ahead.

I like that you keep it moving. Sooner it's done and I have the character free to play, the better.

Apparenty I am the only East Coaster, Every morning I wake up and BAM! 35 posts!

:) good times

I'm at GMT -4, but I do sleep late.

I'm an east coaster too, I know how you feel.

Just an FYI---
Lini has 30 charges of cure light wounds on her wand. Let me use them instead of you all burning yours.

LOL! And now you say that ^_^

Just a quick update. We are slightly more than half way finished with this module. My goal is complete it by the holidays. The majority of the rest of the scenario is a bit hack-n-slashish, which may speed up the game if we are all on point with posting.

As an aside, I'd appreciate some feedback on how you think the game is going so far. This is the first PbP game I have run for an AP chapter, and I'm winging it when it comes to story. For example, you haven't been introduced to Captain Barnabas Harrigan, so the full story of S&S isn't there. What do you like? What can I do better? Hit me!

I can't see how PFS people could be involved in the normal Skull and Shackles story, so winging it is fine. I have no issues with the story. We are running a bit slow, but that is always subject to the vagaries of individual posters.

I'd say once we hit combat we should keep it moving via botting if necessary.

Well, I think this is pure hack'n slash, since we have no way of talking to any of those. Might be we just speed it up, or keep this pace. You're doing fine Rene.

I guess sometimes we get just a little confused about our options. Should we move into the water, or wait until they come back?

Sorry guys.
My router blew on Friday. I'm up and running again now.

Hi.
You have homework.
Please familiarize yourself with underwater combat and swimming

Sent you a PM, GM.

No one sent me a PM, T_T

I've never played a caster before, so I have been hesitant to go completely into my spells and abilities. I am going to use my Wild Shape to become an aquatic animal...just not sure how the stats of those animals are done.
I want to become a squid because a shark is large sized and I need to be medium or small.
Any advice/assistance is greatly appreciated.

Well, wildshape functions as beast shape I at level 4, so using it to become a squid would give swim 30 feet, low-light vision +2 size bonus to your Strength and a +2 natural armor bonus.

I'm not sure if you gain the ink cloud and jet abilities, but you do gain the natural attacks.

Considering the map and our situation, an entangle would likely be very handy right now to slow the rate of engagement by the baddies.

I believe Talfryn has the right of it. I don't see where it says, you don't have ink cloud and jet, but it doesn't say you gain all the animal's special abilities. If I were doing it, I would probably play on the safe side and not use ink cloud and jet, but would feel fine using grab w/ the tentacles.

Going out of town until Sunday night. Will most likely be radio silent until then.

Enjoy!

FYI..we have 4-5ish more encounters. If we stick to the game (and not spawn multiple encounters at once :) ), we can probably finish by Christmas.

Hi,
This game has slowed down quite a bit lately. Partially my fault for going out of town. I just want to make sure folks are still into it.

Options:
* Call the game here and receive 2/3rds rewards, and boon for finishing this in the allotted time.
* Keep playing at the current pace, and miss out on the boon (probably)

What say you?

I would prefer to finish the game. I don't much care about a boon.

I opt for finishing. For the players, it is only a "chance" to win a boon. Of course, the GM automatically receives the boon if we finish in time. So I leave it up to Rene.

In the meantime, my new chant is..."For the GM! For the GM!.

Let's get this done guys!

I will vote to finish it. This Island seems to be full of reward! Let's do it!

I'll take more liberties.

Voting to finish here too, I'm more interested in the boons from the chronicle sheet honestly.

You mean to end it now or continue until the end?

I think all of the previous (me included) voted to continue.

I say we continue. Just please post something here if you aren't around, or you can't check during the day. I am trying to cruise through combats, and some folk disappear occasionally.

I took the liberty of NPCing Lini cause the player is away from this and another table we're playing.

I mean complete it, I want the full chronicle :).

My finals are done so I won't be disappearing again.

You are all wonderful people. Let's complete it to the max!

I'm here and re-dedicated.

Let's finish this!

I'm gonna be GMing Fangwood Keep next. If any of you are interested in playing, please look here LINK
