Skull & Shackles: Sails under a blood red sky.

Game Master DBH

Oh Captain my Captain!

Basically, if your weapon is a +1, and you want to add Bane to it (total of +2) then you need to pay 8k - 2k = 6k for a Bane Upgrade.

OK...here's my list.

Wasp nest of swarming @1/2(500gp)
Vambraces of Defense @1/2(3000gp)
Potion of Flying (750gp)
Potion of Protection frm Evil x2 (100gp)
Potion (oil) Of Animate Rope x2 (100gp)
Potion of Bear’s endurance x2 (600gp)

Total Spent: 5050gp

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

Everyone spent their gold and ready to move on?

Hope everything turned out ok GM_DBH.

Four Leaf Clover (1875 gold)
Cloak of Resistance +3 (3500 gold)

And I am done...

Crafting post! Neela has a Spellcraft Roll of 25 when taking 10. DC is 5+CL+(5 for every missing requirement). I'm listing the base prices here to help me calculate--as long as I exceed the DC by 5 or more, I can craft at a rate of 2,000 gp per day.

Ashlei - Wasps Nest of Swarming (DC 19, 1000gp) - 0.5 days
Ashlei - Vambraces of Defense (DC 15, 6000gp) - 3 days
Herzag - Four Leaf Clover (DC15, 3750 gp) - 2 days
Herzag - Cloak of Resistance +3 (DC15, 9,000 gp) - 4.5 days
Rhialla - Shark's Tooth Amulet (DC20, 9000gp) - 4.5 days
Percy - Belt of Giant Strength +2 (DC18, 4000gp) - 2 days
Neela - Cackling Hag's Blouse (DC15, 3000 gp) - 1.5 days
Neela - Pearl of Power 2nd (DC17, 4000gp) - 2 days

Total time: 20 days.

So it'll take three weeks, which is a while but it's very doable as long as she can craft while sailing.

Any Cleric spells that are elements of the stuff Neela is crafting, Rhialla would prepare and provide when needed.

Dont stress going for the front door Neela. Now you can flank the bads rushing our table and you are cutting one avenue of escape out at least :)

Do we want a reputation for absolute chaos wherever we go?

I blame it on Ashe :P

Heh I'm considering something that could make us infamous....it could also get us banned from this tavern lol

In that case, I will blame it on you from here onward :D

"Why the long face?"

You can't prove anything, that orphanage attacked me FIRST! I burned it down in self defense!

LMAO!

Just a heads up, Had to have surgery on my shoulder Friday. It was "minor" but im one handed for a few weeks. Typing one handed is certainly more annoying than i had thought it would be. Sorry if im slower responding than usual. This last Winter has been the worst ive had *lawls*

Hey, did any of our stuff get made yet? Or are we still waiting for Neela to finish crafting?

Not complaining! Just wondering if I can get my stuff yet for this fight.

Yes, you had enough downtime in Port Peril for crafting.

Dang Yeth Hound. That webbing may be more harmful than helpful!

Hi everyone,

In about two months, my wife will be giving birth to a baby boy. I've decided that I ought to free up some time to help more at home once that happens. While that doesn't mean giving up PbP altogether (I hope), it does mean reducing the number of games to something more manageable. And this will be one of those games I regrettably will be giving up at that time.

I think this fight is proving that you guys don't really need me to carry on! It's been fun gaming with you all. Looking forward to completing our last adventure together.

Cheers,
Neela / Tazo

I'm sorry Neela, but I understand. We all get that real life comes first.

Sorry to see you go but I definitely get it. I disappeared for about a year when my little one showed up. Enjoy!

Thanks for letting us know. I understand completely. Real life and parenthood is the most important thing.

I hope all goes well for you and your wife.

No update today sorry. Busy, busy, busy.

Really sorry to see you go Neela... But obviously I perfectly understand the reasons why - a strong hug, all the best to you, your wife and your child. You are in for a HUGE adventure, believe me I know ;)

---------------------------

On an additional note, apologies for my delays in posting everyone - this week is turning out waaaaaaaay more complicated than I anticipated - my parents are visiting until Friday, and in the meantime I am having job interviews and whatnot. So yeah...

That being the case, and if I don't post with the desired frequency, please feel free to bot me as needed.

While I have a moment.

You do need a replacement character to take over Neela's role as the parties arcane specialist.

Anyone know someone who could join, or should I start a re-recruitment?

I can send out some feelers.

Same Here, about the feelers.

It is a damn shame to have you go Neela, you were great. Good luck in future games and with the kiddo! Its been a blast.

To all my games:

My wife gave birth to a baby boy yesterday! He came two months early. Mom and baby are well. Expect some delays in the near-term before I can catch up. Please bot me as needed.

Congrats! give him all the love

Congratulations.

I hope all goes well for you.

As weird as it sounds guys im inclined to have us board our ship and watch to see if theirs burns or not. Sit on Deck play shoot survivors with crossbows. Running down into a burning ship after a monster obsessed captain doesnt sound.... wise.

I was just contemplating the same things.

Sure it sounds wise.

Does it sound like Ashlei?

NOPE. She's angry and humiliated!

Besides, she's not afraid of fire.

=)

Just to make it clearer, the fire started in the Web spell, since that was on the rigging it spread. It at moment it hasn't reached the sails and masts, it's going up the rigging quickly though, so 3 or 4 rounds and the sails catch fire.

Hi everyone!

I had wanted to tie everything up in a bow, but with everything happening at home, I think I am better off making a clean break now so you can move on and find a new arcane caster! It's been fun, and I wish you the best going forward. I'll still be lurking and will check in once in a while.

Cheers!

You will be missed designated npc crew until we find you and mr. wiggles a home on the island being the official town witch or something!

Good luck!
=)

On another note...My book is out!

Check it out HERE.

=)

Whoo hoo!

Woot!

Good luck Neela!

And congrats on the release Ashlei!

WHen it comes to arcane recruiting do you want me to send them to the recruitment tab for information GM_DBH?

I figure perhaps we can find a crazy mage on this ship or run across a shipwrecked one or something,

I PM'd a character to DBH last week but can post a link here if desired.

Note that neither I nor DBH has been able to find any reference to how your ability scores are determined, as your characters' relative point-buy are all over the map!

I did find one recruitment thread for this game, it was for a 22 point buy, but that was several GM's ago from the looks of it?

To be honest. I think i am the only original member of the first game. Let me try to track down which it was :)

OOriginal recruitment

Yeah the 22 point buy thing was weird, but that was the first recruitment. We lost that Gm then Randall sort of took over as the gm. that went swell for awhile i believe, then well we signed on with you.

Ok, well 22 points I find annoying, it's someones idea of the ideal build points.

I gave Jesse Heinig 25 points for his character. So everyone else can add a few points to their characters, or trim a few off if needed. :)

I can shave a few if you’d prefer! ;)

25 points is sweeeeeet!

And hi Jesse, we play together in Hell's Rebels (Ederion here). And shush about the point buy! :P

Hello! I actually am in games with several of you - I'm in a couple games with Rhialla too! Good to see you again!

Here is a link to my prospective recruit. Note that in addition to having the ability to make wondrous items and magic weapons and armor, I took a trait that shaves another 5% off the price, so we'll be able to make lots of magical gear at a very good rate. Also, with my archetype's special feature next level, and with the skeleton crew spell, if we ever capture another ship I can probably man it myself to bring it back to port for refit or sale.

You'll just let us add three points then?

OK...that would allow me to bump my Strength from 12 to 14!
=)

Or...I could bump my Con and Wis? Decisions...

chasing a monster into his trap filled hideyhole.... I vote wisdom :P

I kid i kid
