Skull & Shackles: Sails under a blood red sky.

Game Master DBH

Sorry, I have to go out tonight. So no time to update.

No update tonight. Guests over and insisting on me being social.

Sorry no time tonight. Tuesday again!

And again sorry.

Life comes first. We understand.

All good.

The weather down here is currently hot and humid. So people are waiting till it cools down in the evening to do things. Like inviting me over for drinks. :)

Hahaha, I could imagine much worse fates :D

Over here it snowed just yesterday.

Being burned alive, surrounded by water, and afraid to dive in. Awesome!

Jokes aside, I honestly think tactically Herzag's option was the best.

One was fascinated the other was fleeing, not sure how.

Not sure how his option was the best? Why risk engaging in melee if we can pepper them from range?

And who cares if they flee? :D

It's no big deal Herzag: But it wouldn't hurt to maybe pick up a decent ranged attack if you insist on staying at range in a fight, for whatever reasons you might have. Heck, just buy a wand of Magic Missile and learn Use Magic Device.

I have a Sling ;)

And of course it is not a big deal - it would make no sense for Herzag to just board the boat because. The fight is completely won. I'm kinda finding it strange this is even a 'thing' :P

If one of them had step on this side, then he would be on him. Otherwise it is pointless.

Are the HP totals in people's taglines accurate?

Probably not. I never got hit in this combat and it has been days since we fought the merman and sharks underwater...

Mine is, was one solid merrow hit from dying *nods*

Since it's been days, everyone can assume you were at full before this fight. I haven't taken a hit either.

Away from home all evening, so no update tonight I'm afraid.

Poisons are one of the handful of things that are pretty clunky in Pathfinder.

"Poisons with initial and secondary effects

For poisons without an onset, failing the initial save causes you to suffer the initial effect of the poison. The subsequent saves are made against the secondary effect.

Frequency 1/round for 2 rounds; Cure 1 save.
EFFECT
Initial Effect: 1 Con damage
Secondary Effect: Unconsciousness for 1d3 hours

So failed first save, Initial effect: LOSE 1 Con
You have to make a save next round. If you fail that one you pass out. If you succeed the poison has no further effects

Thanks for clearing that up Rhialla.

Poisons are not something I use that often, live gaming or PBP.

So yes Calliopeia you lose 1 con this round and make the save again in the next round.

These guys like things that take their opponents alive for some reason. :)

Can't really sell dead slaves can you?

Sorry, I've picked up a nasty bug and am too bedridden to update tonight.

FEEL BETTER

Best wishes GM_DBH

New Zealand is going into lockdown tomorrow, so I'll be very busy today and tomorrow. Updates resume on Thursday hopefully.

Good luck!
I always wanted to visit New Zealand.

Good luck with the lockdown measures GM_DBH. If people do not panic, things should not get out of hand.

Good luck. New York's in week two looking at potentially a couple months. All non-essential personnel off the streets.

Still very hectic at the moment. So we'll get moving Monday.

Thankfully everyone is being calm and sensible where I live. Keeping gaps when shopping, and waiting patiently until they are allowed in the store.

We all good here?

Yours is the only response in over a week. We seem to have lost everyone else?

?

Like, I said I'm holding off since I think the warriors have this in hand.

To be fair there is a Pandemic going on...

Oh man, my bad I thought we were waiting on you for some reason DBH, lets get this moving then.

I'm here

Here ;)

Some questions on the two ships (well three counting the one left at the rock)

Which ship is the biggest?
Which ship is the fastest?
What is each ship armed with?
How many sails does each ship have?
Which ship has the most space in the hold?

Details are great if we want to spend the time going over them and keeping track.

However, with PBP, won't hand waving the basics make more sense for plot and time usage?

I love the idea of Ashlei getting her own command, (Captain 'Burnout' has a great ring to it!), and I don't mind getting into he logistics of it all, but the question is does the GM want to do that?

(BTW: Commodore 'No-Mercy' Percy sound cool too!)

True enough, its more well As the 'leader' of this group of reckless neer do wells I would want to make sure you werent sailing into battle in a glorified merchant ship. :P I as really just asking because of I wasnt sure what Percy's next move would be in town aside from the speaking to the folk who wanted the info there.

Talking to some dockmaster about upgrades to a ship seemed the most rational course of action if need be

Can I have Herzag as my second?

=)

Getting to boss him around until he does a mutiny could be fun!

I do believe he said pick some folk to use so i guess so :P

Things are calming down here, but no update tonight. I hope everyone is keeping safe.

I think I mentioned it's a small fast ship, cargo hold set up with cages for their hunt. Not a warship, or even a merchantman.

Small and fast? Perfect! Give me a Ballista and a small catapult, and I'll turn it into a hit and run ship! On top of that, get a few flying mounts into the cages and I'll turn it into a aircraft carrier!

There are giant wasps on one of islands...right?
=>

Or we can go hunting griffon eggs!

Hahahahhahahhahahhaaa!BwahahahahhhahaAAAHHHAAHAHhhaaa!

...Ok. I'm better now. Promise.

Actually those were kinda my thoughts. Get your crew trained to fire shots designed to mess with enemy masts and slow a ship down so we can close. I didnt think about flying monsters but thats also not a bad idea.

*lawls*

I like it!

I've been out all day helping my parents, just got back home so no update sorry.

There has been talk that the New Zealand lock down might end on the 20th. How is it looking where everybody lives?

I'm in California, where we will probably remain locked down for quite a while because the state wanted to get ahead of this early and not take any chances. I work in the video game industry so I'm working from home now; our entire company transitioned to working remotely. If you haven't seen it in the news, our governor announced a tri-state pact with Oregon and Washington to coordinate the continued response to the crisis, which is itself precipitating another crisis because people are afraid that this and the similar New England joint state project are going to lead to a civil war when the President decides that we are all states in rebellion against his plans. I don't think it will come to that, but Krakatoa just erupted and a plague of locusts struck Africa, so who knows?

End times huh?

Ashlei = "Glorious!"

Me = "Crap on a stick."
