Alessandra's in the same position as Shaeda re magic items - I didn't even put any skill points into UMD!
I'm away too this weekend - will only be able to post from my phone.

Yeah, that skill didn't seem overly useful given Lodestone's description of the campaign setting.
Since so many of you seem to be away for the 4th of July weekend, we'll pause until Monday... See you after the holiday!
Yarrrr, I be back, until next Saturday anyways, and then I be back for a good while!
checking in - ready to go
About time the servers came back up today!
Thank you all so much for your patience! I'm back now, and reading through what I missed. It stinks to miss out on what's gone on and I'm eager to get back in!

"There there, welcome back, Shaeda has given out all of her gifts for the day, but I'm sure she still has something nice for you."
Aye, the coast is always enjoyable. Just makes my desire to be a pirate all the greater as well! So far, It's worked out well that Diego is failing his fatigue rolls... it provides a decent explanation for his relative absence.
Oh my word...sorry for dropping off without a peep guys. Fourth of July shenanigans involved places with no wifi/cell service! Stupid mountains. LOL

No wifi/cell service?! The Horror! The Horror!
Glad everyone's back, and safely. Now, onward to mutiny!
A girl could get rich down here in the bilges searching over and over!
Hey Diego, no problem at all - given your absence as a player (and the fact that Diego took an early night that evening), I don't see a need to try and retcon events from day 3 when we're now well into the end of day 4 (Bellara and I are trying, with mixed success). Besides, by taking lethal damage Doc has upstaged me anyway ;)
I suspect however that even if not present at the time of her flogging, Diego would now be aware of it - news and gossip travel fast on a small ship.
I imagine that's true. He hasn't been around anyone until now (sleeping or working solo), but hopefully would have heard news of it by now. I also realize I didn't resolve anything with her scarf either (though certainly we're assuming she got it back safely at the end of that day!)
I'll try to keep note of these so I can bring them up later and maybe bring a little resolution to loose ends I've left.
That's true, the conversation around the scarf got lost slightly - but themes can always be picked up again at a later point.
Huzzah!
Getting my 1 post in per day!
I'm Diego. And I approve of this concept.
If there's an update by morning, then I can post my actions, otherwise I'm on vacation for a week.
Have fun on your vacation, Shaeda!
I think we're all done for day four - just waiting on Lodestone to tidy the loose ends and move us on to day five?
Likewise, Shaeda - hope you have a good time!
Unless anyone else (Shaeda?) wants to have a go, Alessandra definitely will - just a couple of questions to avoid misunderstanding:
1 If I win initiative, will he be flat-footed for the first round?
2 If so, can I use sneak attack?

Q1: No , there will be no surprise round (unless you cheat?)
OK - that's not ideal but I'll go ahead anyway if no one else will. On the subject of cheating, can Diego & Shaeda add their bonuses or is that not allowed even on a pirate ship? Thanks

Add their bonuses to what?
If someone goes, I'll definitely name him my Freebooter's Bane target amidst my hooting and hollering.
And I assume she meant Diego's Bardsong.
Sorry guys, at this dramatic moment I'm having internet access issues! Normal service will definitely be resumed tomorrow evening (UK time) at the latest
Apologies
Yes, you can add freebooter's bane or bardsong.
Lodestone,
So that I'm not blindsided by them later, are there other rules you find "dumb?"
There are, but most are highly specific to circumstance and there are many. I can't really list them but won't be screwing people over if that's what you're concerned about. I tend to use the rules as a guideline more than as firm laws... If any rule seems stupid to you (in the circumstance encountered) i'm happy for you to argue that they should be deviated from too.
Cool deal. In this instance the dude beat her initiative, so it didn't matter, but rogues losing out on half (or what would have been 55% of their damage could be a huge nerf, so I just wanted to know if there were other nerfs out there.
As I stated earlier, I'm fine with whatever, as long as I know.

That's cool. The reason it was the case, in this instance it was because both combatants were ready for the combat. In most cases one side or the other will not be fully prepared for a combat so the rogue would still get the sneak attack. This only applies to the first round of combats anyway - so the 55% of damage is only applicable if the combat only lasts a single round.
No problems with the rule interpretation, makes sense
BTW, Diego - hope you don't mind my taking your bardic support for granted! I look forward to your next song :)
Glad you did. Family has flown east for a week, which is quite a feat with two babies. But I'm popping in as I want to keep things rolling. Update coming shortly (from my phone)...
Just checking in with my daily post.
Still here...
Hi guys. Sorry fir the delay. - will post tomorrow. Long story.
Glad you're ok.
Lodestone, no problem about taking some time, life has its twists and turns. Reminds me of this one time we was bearing two points close to the wind on the starboard tack in a gale trying to beat around the sea wall into Magnimar. Anyways...
When is the grant awarded?
When is the grant awarded?
Not for a while yet, but its very competitive so I had LOTS of writing to do!
I thought I would take a moment and apologize for my recent lack of long flowing prose and accented chitter chatter from Shaeda. It's tough to stay super motivated RPing the long days at sea, and not just for a bilge rat like me!
Still, I enjoy the group and look forward to the rest of the AP, once we break out of the funk that is Plugg!
This section of the adventure can get a bit,... stale. Don't worry, there are changes to come!
No worries, I will dutifully keep making my choices and rolls, so we can move this along to where Shaeda gets to stick it to Mr. Plugg!
I'll be away from the internet until Sunday.
Hey guys,
I've had a PM from Bellara, and she should be back in the game soon. I want to give her a little while to post but will update tonight if she hasn't posted by then.
Huzzah!!
Fantastic!
