Skull & Shackles: Sails under a blood red sky.

Game Master DBH

Use the Jester's grin map up top.

The two ships come together smoothly, between their rigging being alight and being blinded by butterflies there is little resistance to your ship.

Captain Fargo Vitterrande stands on the foredeck in Were-rat form. "What is the meaning of this?" He demands in an attempt to appear unmoved by your attack.

His crew stand ready to repel your assault.

What are you doing now?

I've placed your icons on the map. You can move them to where you wish to be at the start of the battle.

"I thought we had made our intentions plain, captain," monologues Cass. "We have deprived your ship of power, and when we swing around, we mean to deprive you of your life."

"Mind the fire cass, our goal may be a bit flammable."

He said lowly coming forward armed and cracking his neck.

"Your reputaion as a cunning warrior and excellent smuggle proceed you sir. I am Captain Percival Asploric lesser son of the Kintargo Asplorics. Captain of this here ship. We find ourselves in need of a mass quantity of alcohol and spirts... which your hold has. How about we come to an accord that doesnt end with your corpses left as gifts for Besmara?"

diplomancy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
+12 if wererats think im cute.

Once engaged, Rhgialla hands over the wheel to the crew's second best helmsman, and as Percy mentions Besmara, she languidly sidles up beside him, a confident smile on her face as she leans against the Captian.

"I'd rather quench my thirst with good wine than blood but...whatever works." she says with a smirk.

Cass shrugs. "Or that."

"Ya really can't drink blood..." Esmarelda half commented to herself. "It doesn't hold, only works if it is fresh. Or mixed with something. And the alcohol to mix it with is always hit or miss."

She smirked at the group as she crossed her arms. "I do have a few mixed drinks that call for it though! I am sure what is on this ship provide it well."

Ashlei sighs and yanks her 'fun stick' out again...and aims it at the back half of the enemy deck. (Blue/Purple/Yellow)

"F%!+ it! Boring conversation anyway..."

Rod of Wonder Activation roll!: 1d100 ⇒ 100

*98—100 Flesh to stone (or stone to flesh if the target is stone already) if the target is within 60 feet (Fortitude DC 18 negates).

fort save Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

As Percy attempts to negotiate with the unimpressed Fargo Vitterande, Ashlei turns Blue into a stone statue.

"Kill'em all! Screeches Vitterande

Fargo orders his crew to attack you, he casts Confusion, getting everyone but Rhialla in the spell radius.

Percy, Ashlei, Esmeralda & Cassiopeia. Will save DC18 or your are confused and roll on the confusion table.

Ashlei can now act!

willsave dc 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"Ah hell....kill them all!"

He ordered back.

Thank got for that roll/

Will Save W/Charmed Life: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

Confusion!: 1d100 ⇒ 29
26-50 Does nothing but babble incoherently

Stomping in place and waving her Rod around, Ashlei begins talking in some weird tongue only she can speak...

[dice=Will Save W/Charmed Life]1d20 + 4 + 4

[dice=Confusion!]1d100
26-50 Does nothing but babble incoherently

Stomping in place and waving her Rod around, Ashlei begins talking in some weird tongue only she can speak...

So... No change then? :)

Will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 9

Cass shouts, 'Oh, screw you!" and breathes dragonfire across the decks and the sailors.

Fire damage: 11d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 6, 4, 6, 1, 5, 1, 6, 2) = 38 (Ref save DC 19 for half)

Rhialla sighs as Ashlei once again triggers the most chaotic possible outcome, escalating for no other reason than it being something to do.

At Percy's order she raises her hand, calling upon Bemara's power to unleash a blast of cold reminiscent of the depths of the northern ocean.

Cone of Cold (DC 19 Reflex for 1/2): 11d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 5, 1, 6, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3) = 32
Should hit Black, Orange, Green

Black & Yellow advance.

Black swings at Rhialla.

cutlass: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

But misses.

He also might eat an AOO from Percy depending on the results of Percy's save vs Confusion?.

ref save vs Cone of cold Black: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
ref save vs Cone of cold Orange: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
ref save vs Cone of cold Green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

All three take no damage thanks to Evasion. :)

Esmeralda can now act!

The DC was 19. Green failed

Also, there were two AOE spells.

@Rhialla. Ok, Green takes 16.

@Cassiopeia. Your spell will go off on your initiative. Which is at the top for all to see. Along with my posting who can act.

Im flat footed unfortunately so no AoO yet

Botting Esmeralda.

will save vs Confusion: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
random: 1d100 ⇒ 15

Shaking her head as something washes over her mind Esmeralda moves up and cuts at Black.

dagger: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Green & Purple advance.

cutlass Green: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Green swings at Esmeralda and hits.

cutlass: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Cassiopeia breathes Dragonfire hitting Purple & Yellow.

ref save vs Dragonfire Yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
ref save vs Dragonfire Purple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Yellow evades the fire, Purple howls in pain.

Percy can now act.

With a savage roar for the foolish man who dared to try and strike his RHialla he drew his cutlass and stuck again and again.

tidewater cutlass: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
tidewater cutlass 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
tidewater cutlass 3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage 3: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Percy hits his mark 3x but doesn't kill Black.

Orange moves to a clear gang plank to cross over.

Esmeralda hears a voice in her mind.

Will save DC17 please Esmeralda.

Ashlei can now roll on the Confusion table again and act on the result.

Confused?: 1d100 ⇒ 84

Attacking: 1-3 Esmerelda/4-6 Rhialla: 1d6 ⇒ 1

I’m assuming using the Rod is too complicated while confused.

[ATTACK(Melee Starknife!)
+1 Starknife: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Magic/Silver Damage+Scorching+Precision: 1d4 + 3 + 1d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (6) + 9 + 4 = 24

Ashlei attacks with glazed eyes, cutting Esmeralda deeply.

Prevented from flanking Rhialla Black hisses and swings at Percy

cutlass: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
cutlass: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

cutlass Critical?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

His cutlass cutting deeply!

Yellow moves up and swings at Cassiopeia

cutlass: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Slashing and wounding her.

24 damage to Esmeralda. 43 damage to Percy. 13 damage to Cassiopeia. This is going really well for me?

Esmeralda & Rhialla may act!

As utter chaos envelops them all, Rhialla winces as she sees the damage Ashlei inflicts on Esme.

"Enough of this shit!!" she shouts, calling upon Besmara's power to both protect her companions and overcome the control of the bastard Fargo's spell as a wave of protective energy envelops them.

Cast Magic Circle against Evil. 10ft radius emanation from Rhialla. +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Second, the subject immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects. Confusion School enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]. This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell.

Ash and Esme immediately get a new save vs same DC (18) with a +2 bonus to the roll

Will Save W/Charmed Life: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 25

A furious look washes over Ashlei’s face as she suddenly realizes her situation…and she stares daggers at the wererat captain!

She points at the monster and yells.
”DEAD! You are ALREADY DEAD! You just don’t realize it yet you rat bastard! PUN INTENDED!!!”

will save vs Confusion + Magic circle: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14

random: 1d100 ⇒ 36

Esmeralda babbles along happily with Ashlei.

Purple circles around to get Cassiopeia in a flanking position. Next round.

cutlass: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Green decides Rhialla is a problem and swings at her.

cutlass: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
cutlass: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

He misses both strikes and glares at his cutlass suspiciously.

Percy & Cassiopeia may act!

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 39

Cass spends a few seconds completely checked out.

He spits out a string of curses as his oppenant gets throught his guard.... twice. A skilled combatant for sure. Now Percy really hated him.
Out of the way!

He growled lowering his shoulder and charging through to the two pirates to cut off access to his ship via the other plank.

Improved Overun Black: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
improved Overun Green: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

So if im correct since ihave improved Overun do not get an attack of opportunity against me... and cann not choose to avoid me. Which means i get through and if my check is 5 points more than their CMD they end up prone.... so....I hope they like bing on the ground and proviking when they stand.....

Esmeralda had a spell cast on her telling her to do something. I ruled as she's confused she didn't do it.

Black responds, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!"

Cassiopeia babbles with the other babblettes.

Percy knocks over Black & Green.

Orange boards your ship and swings at Percy

cutlass: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Red points at Percy and casts Hold person on him.

Will save DC17 please Percy.

Ashlei may now roll on the Confusion table again.

Wow! Just wow. That one spell at the start really screwed you.

Rhialla cast a spell that allowed me to re-roll my save and I made it this time. Is that NOT what happened? That is supposed to suppress the confusion...? Also...Cassie? You MADE your original save. (DC18) You should NOT be confused! Right?

Strange, I wonder if the boards fudged up the randomizer seed, because when I originally posted my save the roll was much lower.

Yep. As far as the dice rolls indicate, Cass should be unaffected, having rolled exactly what was needed for the initial save. Ash should function normally now as the Confusion effect should be suppressed for the next 110 minutes (duration of Magic Circle against Evil, due to the successful second save).

Ok, Ash goes normally. She made the re-save. Cass can take her action first though as she saved originally.

Dance puppets, dance!

Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Cass tries to flicker step away but fails and is stuck getting stabbed.

Esmarelda does have excellent dex meaning she'd dance nicely. Also we're about at the level where save or die spells will start showing up... This is not a good sign! XD

Also sorry about that, work made us drive into the office yesterday, which is a 3 hour drive for me so I was too exhausted to even thing about my games yesterday... T_T

I feel your pain. I live 180 miles from the office. Every week I drive to the city, stay there and commute to the office, then drive back home for the weekend.

Apologies! I didn't realize we were waiting on me!

With her head clear now and full of vitriol, she quick draws and throws 3 daggers at the rat-man from her magical belt!

Full ATTACK(Thrown Daggers!)
Dagger(Thrown w/PBS): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Damage+Scorching+Precision: 1d4 + 4 + 1d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (3) + 9 + 4 = 21

Damage+Scorching+Precision: 1d4 + 4 + 1d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (6) + 9 + 4 = 27

"Dance Rat-man! I SAID DANCE!"

Ashlei misses with all her attacks and Fargo laughs mockingly at her. "My dances aren't wasted on clumsy sows like yourself!"

Yellow stabs twice at Cassiopeia.

cutlass + Outflank: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 4 = 23
cutlass + Outflank: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17

35 damage to Cassiopeia.

Black scrambles to his feet with a snarl.

AOO for anyone who can hit him with a weapon?

Esmeralda & Rhialla can now act!

AoO (Melee Starknife!)
+1 Starknife: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Magic/Silver Damage+Scorching+Precision: 1d4 + 3 + 1d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (6) + 9 + 4 = 24

I think Es is still under confusion no? I really need to get her will up...

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Confusion roll: 1d100 ⇒ 84

I So I have two targets close, do I just flip a coin for which one I attack?

@Esmeralda. If one of them has attacked you go for them. Otherwise yes toss a coin.

Glaring across the gap to the other ship, Rhialla takes a step back, calling down a raging blast of divine fire on the laughing rat bastard.

Flamestrike (DC 18 Reflex for 1/2): 11d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 6, 4, 2, 1, 3, 6, 4, 5) = 38

This spell does not start fires on a ship unless the ship rolls a natural 1 on its saving throw against fire damage.

Black hasn't attacked Esmarelda so coin flip it is! Rhialla is odd, Black is even

Coin flip: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Lady luck is on Rhialla's side!

The fog in Esmarelda's mind had yet to clear, yet the first she laid her eyes upon was an enemy.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Also I don't think confused people can flank either...

Black hasn't attacked Esmarelda so coin flip it is! Rhialla is odd, Black is even

[dice=Coin flip]1d2

Lady luck is on Rhialla's side!

Literally!!

Rhialla's Flame strike hits Captain Fargo but doesn't damage him?

Esmeralda finishes off the wounded Black.

Green scrambles to his feet.

AOO for those around him.

Purple goes for Cassiopeia.

Percy & Cassiopeia may now act!

"Clear our decks of these a+#~!*%s!Get CCass some support Now!"

He growled stabbing at the prone man beside him.

He slid to the north to get that much closer to their beleaguered mage.
5 foot step after attacking

Concentration: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Finally, Cass manages to flickering step away through the higher dimensions.

AoO ATTACK(Melee Starknife!) on Green getting up!

Wounding Percy.

Captain Fargo points at Cassiopeia and casts Hideous laughter.

Will save DC16 please Cass.

Ashlei can now act!
