Funny thing about falling onto the footpath, you end up with abrasions you don't notice? I got up the next morning with several scrapes I didn't know were there.
Good news is my right middle finger is not dislocated, bad news is that it is still black and swollen. Sub-dermal bruising as I tried to catch myself and bent the fingers too far back. I can bend the other fingers now, just not the middle. Being right handed I've discovered how much I rely on that hand.
Tomorrow looks like I will be able to restart.
Damn. Sorry
Sorry, busy tonight, so no update.
Busy again, so no update sorry.
Just to let you know things may be slower over the week. The fall I took several weeks ago has slowly become very painful in my hip and knee. Walking is now hobbling and sitting down is painful. Thankfully the Doctor has given me some nice painkillers.
I'm now getting a x-ray done on my hip to make sure nothing is broken in there?
Okay. Hope it's nothing too serious and heals up soon.
Sorry to hear about that DBH... Hope all turns out for the best.

Understood. Age gets to all of us. After a major car accident I had many years ago, I'm still waking up finding new ways to feel that pain again and again in one way or another.
We are not our scars, but they do tell us where we have been and how resilient we are.
Sorry, no update tonight. I've been out and about hobbling everywhere today and my hip is killing me. Lots a painkillers and sleep is my plan.
@Asheli. I agree on age getting us. I had a knee replacement 8 years back now. They asked if they could keep my old knee for the medical students to study.
My ex-wife once had a co-worker who put off double knee surgeries for years becasue of the cost. When she finally went in to get them done, the doctors stared at her in amazement...'How' could she be walking with NO CARTILAGE left in her knees?? They said the pain must be unbearable...
She just did it. She even exercised each day to stay in shape by walking. She didn't have much choice. I hate the American medical system, but it does teach us to live with certain amounts of pain I guess. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
My problem was a bad slip on marble, slamming my knee straight into it, by the time I had it replaced the bone looked like a lunar landscape.
Prior to my getting my knee replaced I had to have x-rays done. The technician asked me to straighten my knee for it. When she saw the x-ray she apologized for doing that.
Thankfully in New Zealand it's free health. They do try to get you out as soon as possible though. I had the operation on a Tuesday and left the hospital on the Saturday. That was mainly by my choice, the jokes about hospital food were sadly all too true.
Sorry, no time to update tonight.
Loot- 6 points of plunder, primarily consisting of leather, spices, timber, and various ships’ equipment
Not tonight dear. I have a headache.
Hahaha, have a nice rest DBH ;)

I bet Ash could help with that headache...or a good mug of Mead. I suggest the Mead. Ash would leave you drunk AND penniless in the end.

Still worth it!
Sorry, I've got too much on tonight. No update.
Damn! Glad you're okay.
It's a public holiday down here in New Zealand. So my evening is booked I'm afraid. No update.
Enjoy the evening DBH ;)
I'm busy tonight, and I think many of you are having an election.
Sorry, I've been out in the sun all day helping my parents set up their summer garden. So I'm dead on my feet and not able to update tonight.
Worst thing is I hate gardening, but they need someone to do the heavy lifting.
DBH's guide to gardening. "Concrete the green bits!"
Hey, if its green, its a garden of some sort!
Since the last time we liquidated stuff
Armor:
Mithril chain shirt +1 (3)
Studded leather +1 (6)
Breastplate +1 (2)
Buckler +1 (4)
Weapons:
Heavy flail +1 (2)
MW Composite longbow (+5 str) (2)
Rapier +1 (3)
MW Cutlass (4)
MW Scimitar (2)
MW Pistol (4)
Alchemical cartridges (60)
MW club,
Other magic items:
Ring of protection +1,
Cloak of resistance +1 (7)
Money:
716gp
Gold ring with a ruby set in it. 250gp.
623gp in small gems and jewelry
Plus proceeds of this last encounter
Treasure: The wreckers’ base contains cargo and supplies worth 6 points of plunder, primarily consisting of leather, spices, timber, and various ships’ equipment. The base also contains three longboats and a crude alchemist’s laboratory in one hut.
Plunder costs change based on port. Its worth approximately 1000 gp per point otherwise?
a Shackles ensign,
320 gp in mixed coins
Herzag has Mithril dagger
Plunder is always equal to 1000gp per point.
While I hate to say this, most of the weapons and equipment we don't want or can use should go to the additional crew members (NPCs) we trust. However, I don't think we will have anyone who can use +5Str Composite Longbows any time soon. Probably need to sell those.
NOTE: I don't have a Ring of Protection +1 yet either...
Does anybody else need that more than me? My current AC is 24 which is OK for 8th level, but not great.
The rest of the treasure we should divide into equal shares (in GPs) and divide appropriately.
Suggestion?: Crew gets a 1/4 share each, each ranking crew (PCs and special NPCs) gets ~2 shares each, and the Captain (not me) gets ~3 shares.
I'll use most of mine to make a down payment on my personal ship upgrades.
Yeah, gonna be a while before I have forge ring.
So how much do you have and what are people buying? Lets get this moving again.
Well, if nobody else wants the +1 Ring, I'll take it.
We need to sell the bows and trade in the other (gp) items for cash. Then the Captain needs to determine how much we all get in shares. That's generally hows its done as far as I know. The whole crew gets shares however, not just us unless you want them to mutiny on us I think...
Yeah sorry Ash - you can take the ring, as far as Herzag is concerned ;)
Thanks! Ahslei already has an 'effective' Mithral Chain shirt +2. (Its +1 with the 'Deathless' ability.
Rhialla? Can you tabulate our total coin and cut our shares? If you can't, I will try and do it this weekend...
I can, but may be a day or so
First thought, there are +1 mithril chain shirts availible, everyone check your armor. If its an upgrade grab it :)
Loot split when we land in Drenchport, Everyone gets a share of the loot, officers get 2 shares.
The Chain shirt and armored coat give me the same AC and same ACP, but one's light and one's medium. Benefit of the coat is being able to don as a move action, which came in really handy when we got attacked in the middle of the night
No update tonight sorry.
Anyone not already have a cloak of resistance or something that makes you unable to wear one? We have 7
Give them to crewmen whom we trust in exchange for half their money shares or something like that. Makes them happy and help them survive better for us.
Okay. so disregarding the cloaks and assuming the weapons and armor sell at half value+ convert Plunder to gold, total haul is
27,869g 5s
Not too shabby at all! I think that will add to our last loot share. Right?

Now we just need time for me to convert all that filthy lucre into magical gear!
What's our current total crew compliment? That will help determine our shares.
The crew gets a single share. The Officers (being the PC's) each get a share.
I understand now. My mistake.
Sorry, too unwell to update tonight.
My wife has decided to have family over in spite of the pandemic, so I'll be away through the weekend.
