Skull & Shackles: Sails under a blood red sky.

Game Master DBH

Uha, no. She's a rogue through an through. She knows people, coin, and fighting. Oh and traps obviously. I mean you could hire her for the traps as ruins are often trapped if fantasy has taught me anything!

Infact, here is a list of what Es is good at:
1) Disabling traps
2) Killing things
3) Not being seen
4) Stealing things
5) Getting out of situations if all of the above has failed.

She is not an intellectual person when it comes to history and the like. She's more likely to tell you those ruins will have awesome loot than where they're from! XD

She isn't an explorer, she's a thief... Or well... A Pirates if you will! ... Sorry that was a bad joke I'll see myself out! XD

Sounds like a welcome addition.

Also Rhialla, I think you're the only one who would know so I'm going to make sure the player knows. The name Valarie will likely ring a bell for her, as there was a Free Captain Valarie about four or so generations back. When she turned in her hat, so to speak, she used her wealth to start up a trading company which has prospered to this day. However we still need to find out how Es is even getting to you all to introduce herself...

Sounds like the hook is there already. The ship has just won the Free captains regatta. Big news throughout the Shackles!

With the win comes a seat on the Free captains council, and their own island to settle and rule.

The island is the infamous Isle of empty eyes. Named for the many statues of Cyclopes that line the shores with empty eye sockets.

For someone looking for excitement (and loot) this is a good time to approach the Captain and ask about joining the crew.

So do your intro on the gameplay thread with you approaching Percy to ask him about signing on.

Just be warned his wife is known as a very nasty customer. :)

Everybody else done your shopping and ready to set off?

Yeah, as big of news as how pissed Harrigan was. There are other captains she could join for excitement and loot and not make a powerful enemy in the process!

Your fame comes with both the ups and the downs. So the question is, why back you? Why gamble on you?

Well we are cooler than him already.

That is not a high bar! XD

Really it's the power gap that would worry someone. I really wish the race hadn't already of been run because I thought of something that would have worked... Maybe I'll think of something...

Hedge your bets and make a smart decision I guess.

Hey GM, I have an idea but I need to know... how much creative liberty am I allowed?

You'll need to be more clear than that.

Why be a professional pirate?

Sorry, I have to go out tonight and be social. No update.

No problem! Gives us time to be doing the RPing!

Almost forgot until family reminded what day it is. No update as we're staying up to make sure this year is gone.

Happy New year to everyone. Hopefully things improve a touch in the coming year for everyone.

I just realized with Percy being Lawful Neutral, Cass being Neutral, and the rest of us being Chaotic Neutral, it's a good thing he's as laid back as he is, it'd be like herding cats otherwise.

well so far there have been a few sighing moments and a couple of pinch the bridge of his nose and shake his heads. . .

No bend people of the knee and spank moments though... that ones a shame.

*lawls*

I tease I tease i think.

Oh and obviously the Sending is to Percy

That was not obvious and you know it! ;p

Let's say one message sent to Percy so he'll know where to find her and another to mystery girl if she counts as a possible receiver. (Sending says you gave to know the recipient)

Well I believe know means know of. Like you couldn't send it to someone you've never seen but someone had told you of. I believe you have to picture them in your mind.

Works for me.

Due to my advanced age and lack of energy there is no update tonight.

Too ill to update sorry. Nothing serious but its knocked me on my back. Not Covid. :)

I got a cold or something that wrecked me for the entire vacation season and then wound up with some kind of stomach bug afterward. :( Hope you recover soon!

And again sorry.

Not a cold, but I'm tired and sweaty. Having trouble keeping food down as well. :(

Still, take care of yourself first! We can wait...

It's all good! My boss is out so I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to play my own boss.

OK, I'm back. Lets get things moving again. How's the orgy/assassination going?

Is it time to set off and find out what a monster you've been saddled with?

Haha Cass is busy in the lab working on magic items like the nerd that she is, while the rest of the team is having harem night :D

Hey we just invented something new! Orgysassination! Assorgy? OHHH. I like the name ASSORGY! Just the right connotations, double-speak, and stupidity for a pirate party name! Yep. That's gonna be a thing now. How was the ASSORGY? Well, it was great, but my backside is sure sore...

Sorry...sometimes I channel the worst aspects of Ashlei far too often! I'll stop now before I hurt myself with your swords and knives sticking into my liver or similar important organ...

I want it known I cannot be four people... it just, no! XD

We should get a teleportation circle on the deck once Cass is high enough.

Everybody ready to move on now?

Level 17? I think the AP will be over!

Good to go!

Busy tonight so no update sorry.

10000gp

I'm out of town at the moment, so no update sorry.

Should have settled down by tomorrow.

Still away from home so no update again I'm sorry.

I am looking after my Mothers house while she is away on holiday, and running around doing my own chores. So things may be a little erratic for the next two weeks until I'm home full-time.

Mum is staying down the Marlborough sounds with a friend at her cottage. It's a beautiful area and I've been there myself so I'm glad Mum is having a nice peaceful break.

Sounds like fun! I just watched this video yesterday and they mention how polite New Zealand protestors are...I want to retire in New Zealand now! That's my kind of protestors.

=)

The video part I mention starts at 11:54 minute mark.

A far as the minor magic item goes, maybe we should pick something our wizard can't make yet?

Let's just get a Minor Rod of Metamagic (+1 Lvl)...either Extend or Reach would be the most useful I think?

Either of those would be really good and emphasize Cass or even my ability to function as a long-range weapon, well before we get into boarding range.

We've seen just how devastating that can be.

Longboat isn't really our style, do we want to sell it? Or maybe for the time being hold on to it and use it to ferry goods, and sell it next time we take stuff to sell/trade.

Longboats are great for sailing up rivers and coasts because they don’t sit low in water. It could be a good exploration vessel for the island once we get there.

Otherwise I say we trade it in on upgrades for the Crimson Sunset, or just get money for it.

sorry if my posts come slower, got diagnosed with Covid 19 monday, Im doing okay mostly but this headache and have -100 energy is driving me nuts..

I'l have an item up soon. Unless we can make bank off the boat I sort of like ash's thoughts could come in handy one day

I understand completely, only just getting over it now...sort of.

So hang onto it until we know we don't need it. Then sell. May be useful in the time being.

Take your time Percy, get better first.

Please get better mate. I know how you feel. Had a cold for the past few days, yes just a cold thankfully, but it leaves you with no energy.

I totally get it! Rest, sleep, plenty of water!

Hello, some of you might know or still remember that I played in this game once. Just wanted to say hello and I'm delighted that your game has continued strong!

And Percy, please rest and feel better.

Hi hi! Yeah we are goin' strong! Always good to hear that fellow players are doing well. :)

Its our lucky witch! glad you are still okay.
