Skull & shackles (Inactive)

Game Master DBH

My familiar can help with the flanking Kung.

I was thinking someone who can handle traps would be useful, while not heavy on them the last two books do feature some that will really hurt if not spotted and dealt with.

The good thing is at 11th level you can make some good with traps, and good in melee, or ranged combat.

I have the trapfinding trait and +20 to Disable Device. And I can always have a hapless mook I ensorcell spring the particularly nasty ones

That's fine then, I'll ask around for a combat type, one with some ranged since that seems to be wanted.

Sorry for going missing yesterday. Turns out it was a public holiday down here. One I'd forgotten about.

I was dragged away to be sociable for the day.

I hate being dragged away from stuff to be sociable.

Loot to be sorted

Cutlass +1 (Keen),
A watertight scroll tube containing a scroll of Transmute rock to mud and two scrolls of water breathing,
A jeweled scepter worth 300 gp,
A coral statuette worth 125 gp,
Nine diamonds worth 100 gp each,
380 gp, 769 sp, and 43 cp.

Decision time team.

Your fort is nicely rebuilt, you have cooks, booze and entertainment laid on.

You can say that's good and we go to Shackles idol time, or you can explore the island a bit more in the time you have left.

What do you prefer to do?

If you do wish to explore, look at the map and let me know where you're going.

I'd like to keep exploring, there's still the potential for dangerous stuff to befall our party or the guests. I'd focus on the bay to the northeast (areas K and L) and maybe try to negotiate with the ents at M.

Fine with me!

Thumbs up!

I'm good with that! I also have no problem resting for the night so that spellcasters go out with fresh spells (unless, of course, the party is literally tomorrow in game time).

Sorry about yesterday, I was run off my feet and ran out of time.

What are the mechanics for us regarding selling vs renting these slips/wharves?

I wasn't giving you free gold if that's what you were hoping? :)

That said it was going to be a healthy lump sum for you if selling, or a nice, regular amount if renting.

Marnir is officially the lord of the island, what he sets as laws are the laws. If things go well and you have a town begin to grow around your port then you may need to look at setting up a watch to keep trouble from burning it down. A guard to keep things yours when you're away and so on.

Hey all, I got hit hard by a bug on Wed PM, and I'm not quite recovered yet. Thanks for any botting you've done. I'm going to share this message in all of my games first, and will then circle back to posting in-game. That may not happen quickly, however, so please keep botting me until I post again in Gameplay. Thanks!

Ugh the site is doing it's weirdness reordering posts again.

Since actions were spoilered I thought you hadn't raged yet

I only spoiler Kung's actions to reduce clutter in my posts. Please feel free to review the Actions and Stats spoilers at your leisure. They're not private, only clean.

If I intend anything to be spoilered for privacy, it will have a name attached regarding who is supposed to read it.

Camping this weekend, probably won't be able to check in until Sunday or Monday. In the meantime, MOAR LIGHTNING!

So the encounter with the Locathah happened before I joined the crew. Would it be a safe assumption that Niobe told me about it in our catching up?

Oh yeah, presume I told you excitedly and breathlessly about everything.

I'm writing a sea shanty/song about some of our... stuff, should have it up tonite.

That is my least-favorite thing about systematized randomness, you do a bunch of work and then the dice decide that no, you just suck.

Look at it this way, you were great! The audience was drunk.

No update today sorry. Busy, busy, busy.

Just a heads-up - it's about to be a four day bank holiday weekend here in the UK, so I may not be able to post until Tuesday depending on how busy I am. I'll try and keep up, but please feel free to bot me if I'm slowing things down.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi team, my apologies for disappearing at the end of last week. My life took a bit of a messy turn, but I'm getting it back on track. I don't know that I'll catch up entirely today, it may be until tomorrow or Thursday until I get get back on track with all of my games. Thanks for any botting you've done, and please feel free to keep botting until you see a post from me in Gameplay. Thanks!

Glad to hear that. Take all the time you need to get matters settled. Your place is secure.

Quick heads up - I'm going away for a week on Monday. I should be able to post but frequency may go down temporarily. Please feel free to bot me so that I don't hold anything up.

Sorry for going missing. I picked up a nasty cold from somewhere on Sunday and have been bedridden since then. It might be a day or two more before things get back to normal.

Still alive, just not very well. It's keeping me tired and aching, with a nasty cough. Drops away until I get optimistic, then slams me back down again.

I hope to resume posting over the weekend, thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update, DBH. I've definitely been there! Take care of yourself; we'll be here when you're back to form.

Sorry, life decided to ambush me and I've had no time to update today. Back to normal Thursday.

Sorry, I've got a splitting headache and am off to bed. Update tomorrow.

I'm off to UK Games Expo this evening, so I'll be spending all weekend playing games and drinking beer. I'll try to keep up with posting but feel free to bot me if I'm slowing things down. Normal service will return on Tuesday.

Hi team! Festival season is upon us; I am going to be camping in the woods without cell service from now through Sunday PM. Please bot me as necessary!

Sorry, very busy ATM. Updates will resume in a day or two.

Urgent question, has anyone been keeping a list of the loot?

If not then I will have to update it.

When was the last time you recall getting money to spend?

This is what I've kept track of since I joined. Before that I have no idea. If you want I can update the loot sheet

That's not even the fights on the island. Looks like I'll have to check. From memory I believe the party got a big spend recently though?

Before you joined though, but it was 11000 or so to spend so it must have cleared a lot of the loot list.

Edit. Just checked and it was back Sep 28th 2018. So that makes updating the loot list and seeing how much cash you have to spend much easier.

Since you're heading to Port peril, the biggest shopping center in the Shackles.

The loot list up top has been updated, just missing the last fights items.

Mark what you're claiming and the rest will be sold and the gold split between you in Port peril.

Niobe would like one of the handy haversacks please.

I think it's worth keeping the horn of the tritons and chime of opening as party items.

Marnir doesn't want anything for himself.

I agree with keeping the horn of the tritons and chime of opening as party items, as ell as the consumables like wands and potions (saves us from wasting spell slots.

2 Wand of cure light wounds (CL 1, 50 charges),

2 Potions cure light wounds,
Potion of disguise self,
Potion of spider climb;
2 potions of cure moderate wounds,
Potion of displacement,
Potion of invisibility,
Elixir of fire breath,
Elixir of love,
Elixir of swimming,
Potion of cure serious wounds,
Potion of water breathing

Also we should keep: A watertight scroll tube containing a scroll of Transmute rock to mud and two scrolls of water breathing. (never know when we'll need a way into a fortress)

Does one of out non-waterbreathers want the Cloak of the manta ray?

I think I'd like the wand of Lightning bolt

I wouldn't mind having Kung carry the +1 heavy mace; that gives him a magical bludgeoning weapon to fill out his damage types.

The scoundrel's sword cane is a mighty fine weapon, though it would never be Kung's primary weapon. It's +2, and it lets you see around corners like a periscope in addition to giving you a general +5 competence bonus to perception. If nobody else wants it, Kung will keep it as his piercing weapon, selling off his +1 keen spear in replacement.

Just a heads up that I'm on annual leave for two weeks from tomorrow, including a week in Crete. I'll try to keep up with posting but please feel free to bot me if I'm slowing anything down.

Updated the Lootlist, Kung you have the Mace and Cane.

Please mark want you want, there are still some good items, including 1 Handy haversack, the Cloak of the Manta ray ETC.

Also in port would be a good time to recruit another player, what is every ones opinion?

I would definitely suggest the cloak for one of our non-waterbreathers.

Kung has a helm of underwater action, so has waterbreathing covered.

I would support a new recruit in port. What kind of character should we target. Sneaky, to fill that gap left by Jane?
