I guess that leaves Shendrick and me. I can take whatever watch you guys want my perception is OK for a fighter.
Urga - don't forget that guns/ammo only cost 1/10 the amounts listed (rifle is 500 not 5000 GP)
That's fine with me, Thomas. I'll take night watch. You take days.
GM, that map is on point. Did you make that yourself?
Also, do you want us to post in order of initiative?
Make it myself? Hell no, I can't draw to save myself. That's what google is for. (ship map grid).
Post in whatever order you like, we'll sort it out. Though I better number the critters so you can designate targets.
I missed that - thanks Billy.
Urga is happy to room with Gunner and to take the night shift.
Guys, there's a map of the boat. DM linked the map on his first post of the combat.
DM, is it cool if we move our own characters on the map? Which hatch did our team emerge from?
You guys entered from the left side hatch. You should be able to move those icons around yourselves.
Lua climbs topside to the sounds of combat. She whisper's a little prayer to The Dawnflower and then bursts into action. She see's Doc, on the port side,within range of Thomas and the fallen sailor. She decides to assist Billy with the starboard foe.
She moves next to the sailor and engages enemy #3
@Lua
The Pazio messageboard tends to hate it when you take more than 20 minutes to post something. Usually I type everything out onto notepad first to avoid losing particularly long posts to the electronic ether.
actually, I posted my action on the discussion forum. Either way, I'm an idiot.
I think the GM already accounted for your last action Lua. Its round 2 now.
What the rat said.
Lol, got it.
Just so you know, if people don't post actions in a given day during a combat, they will be botted. I will not have this game turn into molasses in winter like so many PbP games I'm in.
Huh, surprised the sharkman didn't go for the AoO on me like I hoped he would.
I assumed you had something which kept you from provoking. I'll roll the AOO now.
No, not yet anyway. Provoking AoO's by shooting in melee is my primary means of gaining grit points back, so I go out of my way to do so.
EDIT: Ouch, can't say I wasn't asking for it, heh.
As I said, at least I didn't confirm. That would have left one hell of a mark.
I've never played a Paladin in Pathfinder before (I'm more of the sneaky archery types), but I'm starting to dig this little chica.
It does certainly seem effective. Pathfinder really did ramp up paladins over 3.5.
I kept hearing that, and now I can attest.
So what are the shifts?
Which basically means who is on during the day, and who is on at night?
One advantage to this party is the lack of spellcasters does simplify watches.
Given his darkvision, Shenderik will take nights.
Given her +0 Perception bonus, Lua will take days.
Well, technically I do still need to prep my extracts daily. Thankfully that only takes a minute per extract unlike a spellcaster's full 8 hours.
Hmm, I also seem to have forgotten to write down what kind of mutagen I have on me atm.
OK, I'll put one more water encounter in your way, and then we'll be in the AP. I have an interesting twist to tie you folks into the story in spite of missing the first book of the AP.
Urga will also take the night shift.
I'll also take the night shift because of my nightvision.
So, Myself, Billy, and Thomas during the day. Urga, Doc, and Shenderik at night. Does that sound good to everyone?

Sounds good
good for me :)
Billy, I can move you on the map if you want. tell me where you want to be placed in reference to the hatch that we came up at the beginning the first encounter.
Billy is already in place really. He's in the crow's nest, hence next to the mast.
I'm placed also.
Ah. I'll try to stay out of your shot path, Billy.
So, if I wanted Lua to assist the grappled crew member to break the grapple, would I just try to break it myself, or would I use the Aid Other action?
I'll let you try to break it on his behalf.
I know that's not how the rules work RAW, but I tend to follow the rule of cool. If you come up with a good idea that is cool, I'll let it go.
Of course that's one of the reasons I play PFS, but am not enamored with it. Of course I also understand that following RAW is necessary for a living campaign.
rgr. I like that rule.
One thing I should be clear on, you don't get a free pass on lack of social skills by virtue of good roleplaying. If you can't manage the gather information (diplomacy) rolls, people won't impart any information they consider of importance or better than common knowledge.
This is not pointed at anyone in particular, it is a general statement about my GM approach.
I will be traveling tomorrow. I should be able to update in the evening.
should we just roll a diplomacy check whenever we ask a plot related question of an NPC?
DM, do you want Diplomacy checks every time we ask an in depth plot question, or just one (at the beginning of dialog) to get the ball rolling?
I'll be busy until tomorrow night no updates until then.
Never hurts to do a diplomacy roll.
Just letting everyone know I'm still alive. A particularly bad headcold laid me low for the better part of a week, but I'm getting better now. Once I find a point to jump in again, I'll post IC. Sorry again for the inactivity.
that pesky life stuff does tend to interrupt gaming at times
I hope everyone had a good holiday and a Merry (Enter Corporate Approved Holiday Event of Your Liking)! Is there an official time when we want to pick back up? After New Years, sometime?
That would probably be easiest. How about we get back to things in the 2nd.
I hope everyone had a good holiday. Let's get it on!
Indeedily.
