Wunderbar, sounds good to me. I will try to come up with a better briefing for them or what have you.
Sounds good. They are Pirates, they ain't too bright.
Very possible, makes it easier for the elven fishman to work with, at least they're my droogs.
Chandria's memory is clearly lacking what with tossing another bomb on the Wormwood.
I think she's just fed up of being surrounded by idiot pirates. She'd rather be the pirate, at this point.
sorry all about the silence.
lots going on. and I had computer problems the last few days.
mostly fixed just some graphics issues but it is workable right now.
Yeah, I know that about using diplo on another PC, I just added it for flavor :)
I figured as much, just reminded me of an old player we had. He was a diplomancer so he figured control us by making everyone helpful. We had enough of him, so we locked the character in a chest and threw it off a cliff. Never looked back.
If Chandria wants some of the blood for crafting poisons that would be fine by me, maybe if you also get a bad roll on your cooking task you can a bomb or some poison with spoiled food.
Just a question for Tides or rather a remark, I'm surprised you didn't use the ABP as it might free up extra loot that could go to making armadas( not sure of the scale that naval battles get) or upgrading the hell out of the flagship. Was there a particular reason for that? Was it more or less pointless because this adventure might go loot crazy or some other reason?
Anyways, hope you get well soon or adjusted.
Kind regards.
So I found the lost goblin pirate Bleepos, his stolen trove is now in our/Chandria's stash. But what to do with the scamp?
So what would you guys think if we got him back and reacquired our original group?
What happened with Bleepos? I don't think I remember reading it here... Did he end up dying or did he quit playing?
He had to stop playing, so his character was sick like yours.
I spoke to him not too long ago, said that you came back and that if he wanted to he should ask Tides.
It's up to the Dm, but if we were asked for our say, I wouldn't have a problem with him at all. Could be the ship's Mascot.
I would also be fine with it, of course.
I just cant help it, Dacota did roll Sense Motive XD
Haha that's true, Aqguazula did lie. As to how much you know is lie is up in the air. But honestly, I do like the little rivalry. Providing we're not murdering each other.
You'll be surprised at his mastery of the sea, you'll just have to wait and sea.....
I Sea what you did there.
I sea that you understand.
Hey guys! I heard you guys might have a spot for little Bleepos to come back? :)
Welcome back.
Welcome back Bleepos!
Welcome back Mister Bleepos. Updates to come.
Welcome back indeed!
The corner stone of the team has arrived. XD
Hey guys :) I will adjust Bleepos sheet back to this game's standards. @GM, how do we bring our adorable green boy back to the action?
Your are actually on deck and ready to go. If you read the starting post for the current day you are mentioned as being present and having a clean bill of health.
just an update post here.
I have been off-line for a couple of days. had pneumonia real bad. almost bed ridden.
fever finally broke today after almost 4 days over 101F (38.33C for our non-american friends)
still a little light headed from the medications to reduce the fluid in my right lung.
By God, I hope you feel better. A quick recovery.
I think we can all agree that we hope you get better.
Yikes, get well!
Yeah, take care Sasha! Rest up.
OMG it ate my post, I thought I had already done it all. Well, better get to typing again.
After all of this stupid connection trouble this new internet I am getting in better be worth it.
Update is up. Heres hoping it is a fun one for you all.
Good. Will post tomorrow.
Oh yes that reminds me, I will need to update the party loot list soon.
Sorry, will post today. Yesterday was FTA.
Sorry for the length of time that update took. Anyone have any questions about what is going on?
Tide, is there a map for this? Am I within melee range of the pig?
Just an update to all my tables: I'll be traveling this holiday weekend and absent for most of the time. I'll be back next week but my connectivity should be a little spotty at least on the first days. For my players: don't worry, I'll get back :) for the tables where I'm the player: I'll come back as well, but meanwhile feel free to bot me if needed to keep things going. Cheers and have a nice holiday weekend!
Hey guys! I'm working on my move and relocation and should be back by Wednesday. Cheers!
Holidays period and guess what? I'm going to be absent again this weekend, for some days. I'll be back Tuesday. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year's eve.
For the games I'm playing in: please feel free to bot me as needed, GM. I apologize for the inconvenience!
For the games I'm hosting: don't worry, I'll be back! Feel free to use the period to get your posts current.
I may be able to log in spottily during the weekend.
Cheers!
See you later bleepos.
Good call sash, I'm in a few games but for pbp more is better. So far we have 4 for staying together with the hopes the other two stay as well.
In the case that they don't, do we recruit more people or go short staffed?
Sasha never liked short staffs ;)
I am okay with Chandria taking over if she wishes, just while I am gone. What do you guys want?
It's your game Tide... Let's see what everyone else says. I won't be hurt if everyone would just like to wait, Tide does run this game well :)
So I read this a little while ago, I wanted to mull it over. Personally I have no problem waiting, also I'm good with Chandria/Gm red taking over while we wait for Tide to come back.
In anycase there are a few lose ends we'd need to take care of.
1. The other two players: from a little bit of searching it appears Dacota's player has gone missing from around nov 8th and Linnet from dec 5th. So I'm not sure if the Tide wants to replace them or if he had some over arching plot planned, maybe someone send a message and if they don't respond we nab two other people. Also if we do remain short staffed( to Sasha's dismay ;p), how would the power be rebalanced/ would encounter just be played right out of the book or would we use ABP( I'm biased and I love that alternative rule regardless)?
2. Pace: I've only played a bit of this adventure, when I played I got to about the same point as now although it was day 18 or 19, not sure if these was to change things up or if Tides was going to add more events. Either way I'm sure Chandria would be given the relevant info.
So once we figure out if the other two are still here maybe we can get this moving a little bit, I just hope we level up soon.
Well, if Tide is fine with it and Chandria wanting, then I'd say we should keep going. With that said - maybe we should PM the other two players, give them 2-3 days to respond, then recruit one more (instead of two) and get in the game (Chandria returning as a player when Tide is back). At least those are my thoughts :)
Sounds good to me, I will send a message to the others , as I've been the ones sending messages to you guys anyways.
If there is a say in the recruitment, is there a general theme we all want for this adventure? Like in terms of party composition, race, etc. Of course well keeping Tides guidelines. We could make this the evil/"bad" pirate crew, We're pirates after all. We could have a crew of odd ball races, we already got a Sea-elf/Sahuagin, a Tiefling, a Tengu and a Goblin. These are just ideas anyways.
With that all said and done, I will message the others.
*Edit* I've messaged them, now the wait begins.
I don't think we need to make a "weird" team per se. Actually, if we are to recruit someone else, probably a common race would be cooler (the new recruit could be someone who was already on the ship crew before and defeated to "our side").
As for good vs. evil and whatnot - Bleepos definitely isn't a good person, but neither I think he's evil. I think we should maybe try to keep on this grey area, more "neutral". Besmara, like Bleepos, is Chaotic Neutral. Sasha is CN as well, Chandria is TN and Aqgua is NE. I think anything CN, TN, NE, NG or CG would fit us well (maybe just not anything lawful or CE).
Fair enough, Just spit balling here. Maybe a common race could be interesting, maybe a John Hawkins from treasure Island feel, a greenhorn brought into the new world of Piracy. It's the shackles so almost anyone from all walks of life could be found here.
As for Alignment I think CE is out of the question, I've never seen it played right, most people that try it go full "Demons are chaotic so am I" mode. probably the best choices would be TN,CN,NE and LE. Could be very hard for NG. As for Aq, I might have him eventually shift over to LE. Who know how we will develop our characters. I know Aq's power hungry and is itching to get back into slaver trading and wants to reclaim his birthrite, with a fellow warband of Sahuagin.
As far as classes go, We have a stealthy Skill monkey rogue: Bleepos
Arcane Caster: Sasha
Warrior priest: Aq
And the Alchemist which is super versatile: Chandria.
I'm not sure if Chandria would disappear or become a temp dmpc. Having a ranged character or beat stick could be nice.
