Yes. And in actual medieval history, The Knights of Rhodes, the Order of the Garter, The Knights Templar, etc

Even the 'old west' had names for groups; 'The hole in the wall gang', 'the James gang' 'the younger gang;' through the civil war; 'the red legs'

We tend to name things as easy reference to something, or to identify ourselves with it or against it. So both postive associations or negative, depending on how we see ourselves interacting with it.

How many schools have mascots and names for their sports teams? How may military units have nick names, either that they have given themselves or history has? We tend to do it with individuals, families, small groups, large groups, races and nations. Even in Sci-fi we do it with other species.

Wow, I did not mean to lecture, So did we pick a name yet?

So do we get a phrase as well?

Queen!.....

No even though that would be cool. Maybe Kingmakers, Ashen Angels,Divine Devils,Graceful Tigers,Dark Eagles,Bright CHampions, Champions, Shattered Ravens,Agents of the Octopus,just a few

do we have a 'watch order' figured out yet we can just refer too?

I can go first or last with one or two of the other humans, whichever has better light. If no light, definitely first with the Ioun torch out so I can see.

Well, there are six player characters, if we double up that's three four hour shifts, for twelve hour rests. Or if we do one at a time, that's like an hour and three quarter, which is ten and a half hours. Either way is fine with me.

Also, as far as names go, since no one jumped on "the Clash" (which would be perfect since that's the sound swords make) what about something that has to do with freeing slaves? "Freedom brigade" or "Freedom inc." or "the anti-slave league" or " libertas omnium" latin: freedom for all

The Latin sounds good, but Volreg would probably say The Clash, because of the swords, haha. Hmmmmmm.

I am Okay with the double upshifts. The Clash is cool, I was gonna say the Liberators but unfortunately its a bit cliche' for me

We could go with more Latin "libertate aequalitatem ipsum" Freedom, equality alcohol, but that's really more of a motto isn't it...

The Shackle Breakers? Or Chain Breakers?

"Libertate Pugnantium" is freedom fighters in Latin.

Chain breakers in Latin is "grandes fluctus torque" which feels a little clunky. 'Chain breakers' in English, makes me feel like a member of the blacksmith union.

I think latin makes it sound cooler.But if we want english, how about something less 'gradious' like "Desert Rats"

The Desert Rats.... Maybe the Desert Foxes, cunning and crafty

Yeah, what inspired me was the old tv show Rat patrol, totally forgot about Rommel's nickname.

hmmm, would a desert fox be a Jackal?

I'm good with 'The Desert Foxes' or 'the Jackals' or anything similar... how about 'the golden Jackals'?

on a separate note:

MJ66 do you want to fast forward to morning, or do you want us to finish the conversations and bed down?
M Human unchained monk 8/paladin 6

Whatever you guys prefer! This is your sandbox to play in.

The Jackals would be interesting, The Smiling Jackals would be an interesting name. Mischevious and Mysterious.

Also Someone should kill that dragon

lets get rid of the captain and tengu first...

It looks like after we rest were still a few hours behind them, should we wait until they rest again and have lord P draw off their camels, or should we ride them down and attack?

Make them lose their camels, then when we get to them they will be weaker and we can properly send them off
2 people marked this as a favorite.

O lord P will sort them, by the time he has done, they will be unable to sleep and want just to run like hell. hehe

Reminder do not piss off the pixie

ok, so I've gotten a little lost, are we in day two of our trip following the captain and crow? Or are we still waiting to bed down for the night of day one?

I thought we were bedding down?

I'm thinking we were getting ready to bed down as well.

The quotes from the captain and first mate, realizing they had lost their water the next day, threw me off.

Yes, I kind of fast forwarded to early morning.

If not worse lol

I know some cray b~@*+es that’ll cut or stab a brother, depending on how pissed he makes them lol

So, in the morning, instead of letting Lord P run off their camels, we closed the three hours between our party and the pirates. Now were sneaking up and attacking from range?

Seems like overwhelming ranged attack should work.

MJ66, Wulfgar will follow with Vulreg, What kind of rolls do you want for stealth?

You know Lord P could have dealt with them on his own, but if you want some, by all means come and get some. But hurry there may be only one left.

Volreg made his Stealth check for moving up, just need Wulfgar’s and whoever’s else is sneaking up, plus declarations of distance. Volreg said 35 meters (~105 feet, right?)...

I figure, they give chase of me, then Lord P can really mess with the others.
M Human unchained monk 8/paladin 6

MJ66 dropping historical names like a boss lol... Do you guys like the idea of Gutenberg (“Goodmountain”), inventor of the printing press, being a hill dwarf native to Mainz, Germany?

Yes, I thought about making him a forest gnome or even a deep gnome. Settled on hill dwarf as being less removed from the society of Men, more likely to be from a family established in Mainz.

Also secured this avatar name in case you guys ever decide to assassinate the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire...

YES, lets kill the Sultan of the Ottomans! distablize all of the Arab world!

Also I think I might dip into Arcanist or Wizard to gain more spells.

M Human unchained monk 8/paladin 6

Careful, Captain Barak is a badass! But you have him outnumbered and flanked (Wulfgar flanking with Vanna)...

So once were done with the combat you need to explain how the captains getting five attacks in one round. I'm building a 'two-weapon' ranger for a "ruins of Azlant" game and I would really like to know how to do that!

If you come back to this PBP to find an obscene # of unread posts, please don’t let that discourage you. A lot of them will have been short, quick-to-read posts by me putting up maps or dioramas, advancing side plots, etc.

Don’t look as the hundred new posts to read as a burden, but as a rich story and entertaining diversion from reality, with more content than you might get from most PBPs...
