Shipmaster Dave's Skull and Shackles

Game Master Pryllin

No problem, just let us know when you are ready to start this up again.

Still getting no updates on this thread, blah.

Happy to continue whenever and however your cool with David.

Sorry about that.
Thanks to all for your patience.
Will update this weekend.

Hi back in the country and ready to go. Happy new year all

And, we're back.

My apologies to all for my lethargy these past few months. My new job, while not challenging or stressfull in any way, is a job and as such my many years of being an unemployed layabout have not given me the time management skills one requires to adopt this whole work/life balance thing. Further, my IRL S&S game is miles ahead of this one and I'm actually having to put some effort in now as opposed to just stealing from my other game. And there was the whole Christmas/New Year excuse too.

In short, I shall endeavour for the immediate future to take a more active stance in this game instead of just net surfing political arguments and irritating myself with my spare time. Thanks all for your patience. :-)

Sorry to Mata who lost an excellent blow there due to the server issues. He reposted in good faith and I was wondering whether to keep his old rolls but decided to stick with the whole visible continuity. Thanks for being a good sport about it.

Not a problem, I was curious too. Its not a problem.

We haven't really had a loot split in this game yet, right?

Just noticed Xantrius is pretty much still working with starting gear.

I don't think we've really found that much but yet Xantrius and Mata have had the short end of the stick. I have a masterwork dagger and the cutlass while Sevien has his amulet.

We all got our starting stuff back, thats loot right?

I'll do up a loot list later, but it has been pretty rare so far.
You'll get more later. Maybe. :-)

Hey guys I will be skiiing on vacation starting tomorrow through Thursday. I will be checking in 1-2 times per day but posting will be much lighter than normal.

I am jealous. Have fun. :-)

Whose action is it?

Hey Tim. It's Daniel's go.

Loot list is up. I put Treasure on the campaign info page.

Will restart combat tomorrow.

Back again. Thanks all for your patience. :-)

OK for the first time I've submitted a ticked about not getting updates on this thread. Checking it manually for now, sorry David.

Heya, welcome back. Sorry about the delays. Will try and keep things moving a bit better.

Happy Birthday Dave!

Thanks. Great day. Sorry you couldn't make it. Happy Birthday to your beloved too. :-)

(Belated) salutations from me as well!

I'm going away for a couple of days and I strongly suspect I will not have phone or internet coverage. Anyone can post for Mata.

Very sorry for absence guys. Shocker period at work which included losing my phone right before going to saudi arabia. Reading up now and will post in the morning. Should be Ok moving forward touch wood.

Welcome back, mate. Glad to see you. :-)

I wish they had an alternate favored class option where you could take the extra 1/2 point of damage for channeling negative energy for your favored class bonus each level. Asimar's have one for positive energy.

Dave, something I could talk you into? :]

No. :-)

I'm away for the weekend please feel free to post anything for me.

Hi all. I am heading to Costa Rica for a week and will have little access to the internet, except for a few minutes a day, so my posting may be very light or spotty from Saturday to Saturday.
Feel free to post for me as needed.

Just a quick heads up, I'm away this weekend. Additionally work will be very busy until the end of the month and I'll be away most weekends this month too. If I slow to respond please post for me.

I am away on holiday from today until Wednesday the 18th. I will not be able to post during this time. Please bot me as necessary. Thanks.

Back now.

Apologies to all for the delay. Have been slack of late and will update this weekend.
Thanks for your patience.

I will be away this weekend but please do update. (additionally I'll be in Brisbane in 2 weeks for about a week).

Would that happen to be from the 5th July to the 13th July- the week I'm visiting my family in Townsville...?

Thanks all for your patience. New post now up and new combat started.

With the absence of Daniel, I'm running Nakon for now.

We're not very far from the end of the module and it may come as no surprise to you that I've decided I'll finish this up there. I am determined, however, to at least see us through to the end of the module.

I've enjoyed playing with you all and hope to do so more in the future, but I don't think I'll be running anything on these forums for a while. I have found it to be a lot of hard work and my hat comes off to all those who put the effort in to run at least one game on these forums, let alone multiples.
When and if I do decide to run again I'll certainly be very careful about what I run and how I run it. Maybe a single module or two before I attempt another AP. :-)

That said, now is the time to blast me with praise and criticism, what worked, what didn't, what could improve and how, and what might be better suited to my gming style should I decide to run something again in future.

Thanks all for your input and dedication over these past... wow, it's been over 2 years. Let's see if we can finish this off without killing everyone. :-)

Sorry to hear that DM but not at all unexpected. We had a good, if sporadic, run :). I think you ran a pretty solid game actually. Nothing in particular springs to mind in terms of criticism.

Truthfully, i'm in PbP's for the long haul when possible so upon hearing that we won't pick this up any further than past the first module i'm less inclined to want to finish it. How much exactly is left of the game?

Pretty much the last two encounters.
The adventure has you rescue the crew members, then head back to the ship and mutiny.
Of course, you guys couldn't wait that long. :-)
I'll also get you to level up after this encounter. I was going to wait till you slept for the night, but that seems quite unlikely and you're going to need it for the final encounter... assuming you survive this one. :-)

Hi all. On holidays this week. No update till next week probably.

[delurk]
Does anyone know if a bull rush at the end of a Swinging Reposition still trigger an AoO if the character does not have Improved Bull Rush? the way it's worded kinda hints that it could, but does not specifically says so...
[/delurk]

Graduating today. Posting will be sparse if not non-existent until Saturday.

grats

Belated grats AK.

So, time to level up to 3rd level.
In theory you should have been Level 3 before entering the Grindylow lair, but as often happens days and levels don't always align.

Level up. Get back to full hit points and abilities and I won't have to hold back in the last fight.
A reminder for hit points- roll twice, take the best one.

Many thanks.

Level up to come when I get home.

Good deal, will try to get that taken care of in the next day.

1d8 ⇒ 3
1d8 ⇒ 3
I guess it wants me to have 3 hit points... :]

1d8 ⇒ 1
1d8 ⇒ 2

At least it wanted you to have 3...

1d6 ⇒ 3
1d6 ⇒ 6

Sorry apparently d6s roll better.
