Year of Our Lord 1437 Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

If Wulfgar whacks anyone, Altin's got his back. He's sitting there watching closely, so he should be ready to react quickly.

any other opinions? it's our five against their eight, in a town and bar friendly to them, and some of us are wounded and out of spells.

got ya GM

This is much much better, the crew now think the boat is haunted hehe.
O Lord P is going to have some fun.

well I'm glad your having a good time :-)

Any opinion about causing a fight in the bar?

Yep go for it, you can bet they have done this before, hire crew then make them slaves and sell em off. So call him on it, Say your here for vengeance on him taking one of your family. North men are like that. Then go at him, see what his crew do. He is not going to say he never MADE someone a slave, and he has probably done it so often he has no idea who your brother is, you don't have to tell him, so he is guilty by his own deeds.

This then becomes a family thing, he wronged your family and so iTS vendetta. NOT about slavery, after you can say so and no ones going to say your wrong. Just have to kill him and his mate so they can't counter.

hehe

So go at it

hmmm, not a bad plan, that may be the 'lie' we tell the officials when they come asking! Here goes nothing...

sort of an odd question, if the tnegu is behind the captain, and the table is beside the captain, how is the tengu stabbing anyone? did he jump on the table?

Yes, he jumps up on the table. I edited his gameplay post to reflect this...

sorry, I didn't read the edit...

also, I haven't counted the +2 HP for when he is raging so he's at 10 not 8...

For reaching 20 pages in gameplay, I'm awarding 2,000 XP, divided by six PCs is another 333 XP added to each PC's total, so each PC now has 2,738 XP!

cool, thanks... Now we just need to live to use them...

Ha yep!

The part of me that builds characters was going "Wulfgar would so attack this guy" The part of me that crunches numbers was going "That would really be a stupid idea!"

Guess which side won out...

Yup! Fortune favors the bold, though, so you might pull this off in spite of being outmatched lol...

yeah, when I saw the captain had four attacks a round I started to get nervous...

Yeah, he’s out of your league for sure, but think of the XP you’ll earn if you kill him...

Giovanna, can you kill the captain? If he's dead we may be able to talk the rest into surrendering...

After your attack see if you can step back, not sure how much longer we can stand here and try to go toe to toe...

Yeah, bad call on my part folks, sorry...

It happens! If it weren't for the fact that Volreg was lawful, the ship would have been somewhat easy to sink.

my post didnt show again....wtf?

Nice hit Vanna! You still have a round 3 turn to go, or was that your round 3 hit?

my post didnt show again....wtf?

I see your post attacking Captain Barak... it was the blow that broke his morale!

Each PC now has 3,938 XP after defeating the captain, first mate, and dozen crewmen of the Alanqilis! After an 8-hour sleep, everyone levels up to 3rd level! Congratulations!

That was closer than I like, so did anyone drop anything? Oh, and do they have enough crew to sail their boat now?

Should we pursue them and fire their ship? Or let them go and lick our wounds?

The crew have all fled into the desert, leaving the Alanqilis docked at the quay, unguarded (except by Lord P)...

The Alanqilis is an Arab dhow, and requires a crew of ten to properly sail her... The adventurers will need to hire some skilled sailors to help sail the ship they have acquired...

Aw sheeet, we got a ship now?!

I might take Profession (sailor) with my background skill points this level. That would allow me to contribute as a sailor, yes?

When the spooked crew meet up with the others fleeing the caravanserai, they warn them that their ship seems to be haunted by either a mischievous genie, or the ghosts of Christian women. Therefore, Captain Barak, First Mate Toruko, and the surviving crewmen decide to abandon the Alanqilis and flee into the desert to hide out until the adventurers have left Anfa... They figure they can always steal or buy another ship, as long as they are alive!

Yup!

Also, seems I forgot my favoured class bonus for level 2. Mind if I spend that skill rank this time around?

I would not pursue...

Though I was hoping they would go back to the boat, unable to sail it without a full crew and we could catch them in the morning. But alas, it is not to be. But Vanna could still hamstring the captain :-)

@ Altin, Don't waste the skill point if you don't really want it, we can hire a crew. The question is if we keep it or sell it once we arrive.

Go ahead, don't want to miss out on favored class bonus.

I would think you'll want to sell it once you arrive at another port, and use the money to upgrade your personal gear... At 3rd level, a Pathfinder PC should have about 3,000 gp worth of gear.

Whoever got the headband of alluring charisma is already where they ought to be as far as wealth... The other magic items found in King Bogud's tomb should also be factored... Those items should be distributed and each PC should add up the total value of their gear. Those with less than 3,000 gp worth of gear should be compensated up to that amount by the sale of the ship...

The nice thing about background skills is that I feel like I can be a bit frivolous with them, use them to actually reflect what my character learns about stuff rather than just maximising bonuses for mechanical stuff (which I also quite like doing). I'm quite happy to take Prof (sailor) :)

We want each PC to be at as close to 3,000 gp worth of gear as possible while you are 3rd level...

Yep, I have the headband, no extra cash required here.

Level 3 changes for Altin:
+9 hp
Trap sense
BAB +1
Fort +1
Spells/day: +1 level 1
Spells known: mage hand (0), silent image (1)
Skills: Adventuring 7 (Acrobatics, Bluff, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Perception, Stealth, Sleight of Hand), Background 2 (Perform (singing), Profession (sailor)
Feat (Deadly Aim)

Hey MJ66 does Giovanna have another attack or AOO, I don't want to post Wulfgar's reaction until we know if they got away or not.

Hey MJ66 does Giovanna have another attack or AOO, I don't want to post Wulfgar's reaction until we know if they got away or not.

I believe she would get an AoO on either the captain or the first mate, but even if she hit for maximum damage, either villain would still be conscious and able to escape...

I was just confused by her attacks.

We went three rounds, The First attack was surprise and ‘uno’ and the second attack was then the second round. Did she take her third round attack?

Before the second attack, you had said to post two rounds and it looks like she only posted one.

So I was hoping if round three and the AOO hit, she might drop the captain…

She seemed to be having trouble getting the post to post...

Very slim chance of that happening... she’d have to crit him twice and do close to max damage on each crit to drop him...

It looks very likely that you guys are stuck with potential recurring villains with Captain Barak and First Mate Toruko...

Well that's better than being dead...

Edit: I'm headed to bed, I will be back on in ten, and update Wulfgar in fourteen or so. Then we will figure out gear. Is anything we want for sale here in Anfa?

Yes, within reason (nothing exceeding 2,500 gp in value)...

so if Wulfgar is keeping the breastplate, is it's value full price or half price?

Count kept items at full price, sold items for half price (except gems, jewelry, coins, and art objects, of course)...

Does the party want to keep the ship or sell her? And if sell, do they want to sell her here in Anfa so they can buy better gear now? Or sail her to another port first and then sell?

It would be easier to sell, than to hire sailors to sail it down the coast. But if we want our own boat or a quick way off of the continent then it might not be bad to keep her.

The other question is when do we want to take on the 'persona' of a 'noble-fey's entourage'? That may determine how many ports we need to stop at.

I'm good either way.

it looks like a 'Sohar' is a type of Dhow. this one has eighteen bunks, that would have been enough room for the crew and us, not sure where they would have put the slaves...

hey what is the total fir Vanna's cut if the loot so far? might need to upgrade my armor

While I'm up for either or, I think keeping the boat for now could be a bit difficult, as I don't think we have enough to sail it properly, though we could probably get some people to help us. If the tale of the cursed ship hasn't spread around too much.
