Well, I'm ok with being botted, and crits happen. If you want to semi-retcon, then you could play it as Alabaster being so enraged at the moment that he just pushes through. Also, on his attack you forgot that he has weapon of awe and divine favor going, and he also made Brineblood keen. Also Shield of Faith is up, idk if that affects the hits or criticals any.
GOOD CALL on the Shield of Faith! I think (I thought) that I had the attack roll on your part right, but I definitely forgot to take into account your higher AC. That means that the crit doesn't confirm, which gives you back a healthy 17 hit points.
Official Retcon Notice: Alabaster leaps across, and is clobbered twice but still standing, bloody. He's taken a total of 16 points of damage, but since he has somewhat-over-30 hit points, he's still standing.
Just waiting on Isaac's action.
EDIT: And, since he's conscious, on Al's. ;)
I'll have my level up done tonight when I am at my laptop. Sorry for all the mess.
No worries! Not your fault the forum ate your post. :)
Just waiting for our GM to post before I take my actions. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Hey all, just a heads-up that my posting may be slower for a few days. I'm very busy at work and (more importantly for these purposes) I've come down with a nasty cold, so I'm doing a lot more sleeping in my off-hours. I'm going to keep striving for 1 post/day, but please bear with me if I slip up!
Ok, cold's doing a bit better and craziness at work is over--let's get back to it!
Lets not get too hung up on the executions. Diana is ok with just killing the captain and will do it herself if needed. She was sorta wanting to drown him but will go along with whatever.
She does not insist on it but is fine with also putting down all the officers, but would object to killing the entire crew. Someone has to carry word of the deed back, right?
Ah. Well, Isaac wouldn't mind do that. Kill the officers and Captain and spare the crew. That's a good idea.
Arhiel would be happier with that choice too.
I do think we've had some confusion over just how much killing is gonna happen... :P
Anyone else to weigh in?
Hey guys, I've run into one hell of a real life snafu, and have basically been living out of my car for the last week or so. That means no wifi, and no access to my laptop. That makes leveling pretty damned hard. Hopefully everything gets better on the first, and I can actually have a house again. Anyway, I apologize profusely for being so absent. I'll still be posting, I'll probably just be a lot more scarse.
As far as Alabaster is concerned, if they're a Chel, they have to die. Throw them to the Sharks, burn the ship with them on it, he doesn't care. They are the antithesis of his entire religion, and he has the headstrong drawback. He'll kill each one himself if he has to.
so sorry to hear about your situation... hope it changes quickly... we miss you.
Oh man. That sounds really rough, Alabaster. Hope everything looks up soon! :(
All: since it's been a while since I heard anything further, I'm going to go ahead with the idea of killing the captain and officers but keeping the crew alive! Sorry for the delay.
Ouch. That's rough.
Best of luck for you, Al.
Wow. Anything we can do Al? Where are you at?
Wow. Sorry to hear that, Alabaster. Hope things get better.
I am headed to a small con in Memphis and will be off line from noon tomorrow until Monday. Please bot me as needed.
Have a good time, Diana.
ooh, a con! have fun!
Just checking in to see if anyone has anything else to add to the discussions over in Gameplay, or port actions to take.
On the note of boats...I'm not 100% opposed to letting you guys keep multiple ships, but do keep in mind that it will make running some ship-to-ship parts of the game a little more complicated (unless we do away with those all together). Full disclosure: the AP doesn't expect you to build a fleet until book 5 (though of course 2 ships is hardly a "fleet").
I think its too early to have multiple ships despite Diana's desire to be a captain. Seems like it would complicate game play without adding much at this point.
I was not part of the game when this port was visited and am unsure of what to really do here.
I kind of agree with Diana here, we don't have the capital or income to support two ships, and crews... YET! And it would complicate record keeping and combat a lot. But I will leave it up to consensus of the group majority.
Yeah. We've only made a small step into the Shackles. Let's wait a bit before building that fleet.
A fleet....with the Shrike armed with a massive cannon.
And more ships could draw more attention that we really want at this point too.
Alright, sounds like we're mostly on the same page, then. You can always sell the ship! ;)
Do people want to take port actions, or just fast-forward to the departure from Rickety's?
Jaina doesn't really have anything in mind.
Arhiel has no specific agenda in mind in town... however she would like to do a little shopping... shouldn't take much, she's looking for something cool and unique for Agasta... doesn't have to be overly expensive, just a nice little gift.
Just a heads up. I will be leaving Thursday morning for a 4-day retreat at the beach that lasts til Sunday afternoon, then I have a Sunday night concert to attend. I will take my computer with me, but I may not be able to post much til after I get home. Please feel free to bot me if I delay the game at all.
On Monday, my dog goes into surgery and when he returns home on Tuesday, I will be on a full-time home care regimen with him. He needs to be walked with a belly band whenever he needs to relieve himself or get up to get a drink or eat, so it will be a busy time. (He's an almost 100 lb st. bernard puppy, so he can't be carried for these things).
I'll be able to post regularly again starting Monday, but perhaps not as frequently as usual for a while.... Anyway, sorry in advance for any lack of posting on my part. I will do the best I can.
Best wishes for dogo.
Best wishes to your dog, Ahriel.
As for Isaac's actions, other than the normal port actions, I really don't have anything in mind.
Edward doesn't have specific plans either.
Great. I'm going to go ahead and move us forward, then (badly overdue--my apologies) and you guys can go ahead and make rolls for port actions over the 5 days as you like. No need to drag it out unless there's something unusual/specific you'd like to do.
Hey guys.
From Saturday 22nd of April, i will be traveling through Japan, returning somewhere on the 13th of May.
There is said to be Wifi in the hotels we'll be staying at, but i can't guarantee a 1 a/day post.
For the games that i GM, this means we'll be on a break during that time.
Ooooh, sounds nice! Thanks for the heads-up. :)
Have fun, Edward!
Arhiel, you roll +16 on diplomacy (makes the bard feel sad...sorcerers beating diplomacy rolls) ^^
But your sheet say +13?
that was 3 levels ago - look at the spoiler in her tag line. I fixed it so there's no more confusion - took the skills spoiler out of the body of her profile, so it only appears on her tagline.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate it and happy spring!
Hey gang! Posting pace seems to have slowed down quite a bit, so I just wanted to check in. Are we all still here? Too busy? Just bored by the port actions? Remember that you can feel free to post a couple days' worth of port actions at once to speed us along!
I am here. Mostly bored by the port stuff. Diana has not been here before, has no interests in the place, and I do not really know how to contribute. All the port stuff seems pretty repetitive to me too.
I'm still here. Just interested in getting back to sea.
Still here.. and no problems with port stuff for me :)
Still here, but as per earlier, i'm going on vacation for 3 weeks coming Saturday.
I'm here. I'm good with the port actions.
I've added a bot-me spoiler, for when any is required.
Ok, sounds like most people are just bored by port actions! That's fine, we can eliminate them from the game entirely (unless there are, say, unusual things you want to do in a particular port).
I'm going to think about how best to tackle that and get back to y'all shortly. Thanks for your patience! :)
Oh, will there be a port where we can hire a powerful wizard-crafter for a Fireball-cannon? :D
Or, can i send you a PM with something i have in mind?
Not something big scale, of course.
