Year of Our Lord 1437 Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

Okay, so Altin's pretty much going to play dice and cards the entire trip with whoever will play. He loves to gamble, thinks of himself as lucky, is pretty clever, and has magic fingers. The only question is how much everyone is willing to lose to him ;)

Oh, except no fey allowed. That means you, McGibel! Keep your tricksy magicks away from my coin!

An old Portuguese seaman takes out a braginho (a small Portuguese guitar-like instrument) and begins to play a sea chanty... He is soon accompanied by a younger sailor on a squeezebox... A third sailor produces a drum to keep the beat, and the music helps the time pass...

The music has him, and soon he is singing along with the Seamen, to learn their song for his king. Another entertainment to add to his list.

Don't be so sour Lord McGibel will lose, he too has magic's and he's a fey. So let's say even-stevens.

Finding a spot to put his things, the newly appointed adventurer comes to the top deck to watch the sailors move about and man the ship. The wind felt good, and the rocking of the boat was quite the new sensation. Stretching and looking around, his balance seems to shift and his stomach drops. Runni g to the side of the boat, Volreg begins purging the contents of this morning's breakfast, and the previous night's contents.

Talking between vomit fits he apologizes to passer bys."Sorry about this! First time on a boat, so I didn't know what to expect."

Two Questions MJ66, how many 'bunks' per room? How long should our journey take?

knowledge: geography: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

'Good we are underway, the castle was nice, but it's not real, not for the likes of us.' Standing motionless on the dock until the others have boarded, Wulfgar then turns and marches up the gangplank, as he climbs aboard he stops just long enough to inform the captain. "I am a trained Navigator and a competent sailor. I have no desire to be underfoot, but if I may be of service please let me know." Following the captain to the cabins, he unloads his gear then causally moves about the deck, inspecting the ship. Eventually settling beside his friend Altin.

...Atlin just nodded agreeably to himself and made his way to Wulfgar's side.

"How long till we get where we're going?" he asked his friend as the captain showed them their quarters. "I hate being on ships. There's nowhere to go, nothing to do." He searched his pockets, and found them empty. "Do you have any dice?"

'No where to go? Nothing to do?' Shrugging, "Let me think about it for a moment." that means let me see how the geography roll goes.

Blurting out a Laugh Wulfgar looks at Altin. "You are wrong my freind, the point of the ship is we can go ANYWHERE and if you want something to do; you could fish, you could mend ropes you could swab the deck. There are always things to do. Oh and there is the gambling, but no, I have no dice. did you ask our lord Sprite? I'm sure he can come up with a game for you to play."

Volreg
Leaving Altin to his search for a game, Wulgar is moving toward the aft of the boat, he sidesteps just as the Spaniard rushes the rail, and looses his lunch. Slapping Volreg on the back he encourages the young man. "Don't worry, this will only last for a couple of weeks, then start again when we hit real weather."

Feeling he has comforted his new comrade as best as he can, he moves to the quarterdeck and observes the operations of the ship.

"Thankyou you are a very gracious host. I will set up my things in there. I have much communing to do on this trip." She says as she slips inside and watches the men clean it. once clean she beings to shut the door and slip form her dress.

"I really do appreciate this Commander" She said from a crack in the door letting her dress slip right when the door shuts.

lol I am awful

Cabral grins at the brief, enticing sight of Mwikali’s alluring figure as her dress falls to the cabin floor... How lovely are thy works, Oh Lord!

The captain then hurries off to offer his first mate’s more spacious cabin to Lady Giovanna, and to see how that lovely dame might reward him for it...

As the sun reaches its zenith at noon, a pair of ravenous giant crabs, attracted to the Sereia by the music of the trio of sailors, clambers up the starboard side of the hull, near where Sulayman and Giovanna lean against the siderail, watching the green waves roll by...

Volreg leans over the rail on the port side, seasick...

Wulfgar and Altin stand nearby, the tall Northman to Volreg's right side, the Romani archaeologist just behind the retching farm boy...

Lord Perpireen is hovering above the forecastle, singing along to the sea chanty played by the trio of sailors...

Mwikali is inside the captain's cabin, within the aft castle, meditating on Kiku's mystic instructions...

Captain Cabral and two sailors stand atop the aft castle...

STARTING POSITIONS

Ruling that Sulayman and Giovanna automatically spot the two monstrous crabs as they emerge from the green waves and crawl up the starboard hull toward the rail where they lean, watching the sea...

Perception vs Stealth 1d20 ⇒ 4 plus distance modifiers:
Altin 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 at -3 for distance
Volreg 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 at -3 for distance
Wulfgar 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 at -3 for distance
Lord Perpireen 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 at -3 for distance
Mwikali 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 at -4 for distance and no line of sight (hearing only, through an intervening cabin door and wall)

ninja'd by MJ66, I think it still works, so I haven't changed the post.
MJ66 are you rolling init. for us and putting us before or after the crabs? Or are we rolling ourselves?
Just in case

Hearing the commotion at the starboard side if the vesssel Wulfgar turns, smiling as he draws his new sword, "Look, Lunch."

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

[dice=init]1d20+2

Wulfgar is not surprised, so he can act in the surprise round. I will always roll initiative for all combatants, but I'll let Wulfgar keep his 15 this time... Rolling initiative in next post...

Sulayman and Giovanna can also act in the surprise round, as can the two giant crabs, of course... Remember, only a single standard or move action in the surprise round (plus a free action)...

INITIATIVES:
Sulayman 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Giovanna 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Altin 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 (surprised)
Volreg 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 (surprised)
Wulfgar on 15
Lord Perpireen 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 (surprised)
Mwikali 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 (surprised)
Giant crabs (2) 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

OOH-OOH-AH-AH!!! SURPRISE ROUND!! EEEEK!!!

GIOVANNA!
VOLREG! SURPRISED!
WULFGAR!
LORD PERPIREEN! SURPRISED!
ALTIN! SURPRISED!
SULAYMAN!

Thanks for the info. MJ66
Drawing his weapon as he moves aft castle side of his fellow companions, placing himself against the rail. "Don't let them jump away, they will be good eating."

I am probably gonna work through the fight unless it comes to me

Roger! :-)

Mwikali is in her room showing the scroll and motions of the spell to Kiku her body unclad as was part of her ritual. She remains oblivious to the combat outside, she instead continues to teach Kiku another spell.

Giovanna darts over to the closest crab and tries to run it through with her blade.

stabby: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 She then readies a defensive strike if attacked.

p/r: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Giovanna’s blade flexes against the rock-hard carapace of the great crab, failing to pierce through to its flesh!

Miss against flat-footed AC 15...

Giant crabs!

Captain Cabral and the five sailors topside are at first unaware of the giant crabs, being engaged in the sailing of the Sereia...

Is singing This song when it starts and looks over, there does not seem to be any need for him to get into this fight yet.

Shift Init to 1, waiting to see if the bigs need him

Sulayman is up... Then the giant crabs... Then top of first regular round with Giovanna again, and those surprised in the surprise round are no longer surprised...

Come on guys I want some Crab Cakes

Apologies, Sulayman... I'm pretty sure this is what you were going to do though...

Sulayman thrusts his gladius at the giant crab with a fierce shout: HAH!! 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 The blade pierces the exoskeleton and plunges deep, dealing 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 piercing damage!

The giant crab punctured by Sulayman's thrust emits a high-pitched squeal of pain!

It retaliates, snapping a great pincer at Sulayman...1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9...but the Turkish cad dodges by inches!

The other giant crab snaps at Lady Giovanna...1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18...pinching her sword arm viciously for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 points of damage, and grabbing CMB 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13, but failing to hold the nimble swashbuckler!

OOH-OOH-AH-AH!!! ROUND UNO!! EEEEK!!!

GIOVANNA!
VOLREG!
WULFGAR!
ALTIN!
SULAYMAN!
MWIKALI!
GIANT CRABS!
LORD PERPIREEN!

EEEEEEEEK!!! DING! DING!

Blasted creature! I'll have you with some butter for dinner!Giovanna curses as she thrusts her blade at the creature again and tries to fend off any further attacks.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5p/r: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kiku suddenly cocks his head as if hearing something troubling...

In the language Kiku and his witch share:There be trouble afoot outside, Kali! Our ruffians can handle it, though, no?

Again, Giovanna's attempts to impale the great crab on her blade are frustrated by its impressive exoskeleton, which turns her blade aside!

Recovering from his moment of surprise, Altin wheels towards the bow to get a clear shot at the crab Giovanna is engaged with, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow as he moves. Assuming it's not dead by then Altin draws the bowstring back to his cheek and fires.

Pbs and Precise Shot
MW comp short bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"Possibly Kiku, but then again they may not." She stands from her cross-legged position and throws her cloak over her shoulders.

"Too much time to dress, come Kiku" she grabs a spear and heads out her door."We shall aid our brave company the best we can. Just means you'll have to wait for dinner longer" She says heading out in just her travel robe clutching her spear.

Turning from the railing, Volreg lifts up his right arm and grins slightly, "Remember those gifts I said I gained from the lightning strike? Here is a taste!" Energy crackling at his fingertips, for a moment, a bolt of electricity flies towards one of the crabs coming aboard!

Point-Blank Shot and Precise Shot
Electric Blast(Touch)+Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 3 = 14
Damage+Point-Blank Shot: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Sulayman smiles a vicious smile and tries to stab the crab once more, "Take that you chitinous cretin!"

Gladius: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

'What the blazes?' Feeling the static electricity in the air around him, Wulfgar glances at the farm boy and then smiles, he lifts his new sword and slashes at the nearest crab. "Ha, Volreg is going to cook you for us even."

Attack: MW Greatsword
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 = 15

Lord McGibel looks to the seamen close,

"Well Begorra, I feel something is wrong over there lads, I best go have a look see"

Flies up and has a see what is going on below.

Recovering from his moment of surprise, Altin wheels towards the bow to get a clear shot at the crab Giovanna is engaged with, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow as he moves. Assuming it's not dead by then Altin draws the bowstring back to his cheek and fires.

Pbs and Precise Shot
[Dice=MW comp short bow]1d20+5
[Dice=Dmg]1d6+3

Altin's arrow punched through the giant crab's exoskeleton, causing the monster to hiss in pain!

HIIIISSSS!!!

Turning from the railing, Volreg lifts up his right arm and grins slightly, "Remember those gifts I said I gained from the lightning strike? Here is a taste!" Energy crackling at his fingertips, for a moment, a bolt of electricity flies towards one of the crabs coming aboard!

Point-Blank Shot and Precise Shot
[Dice=Electric Blast(Touch)+Point-Blank Shot]d20+1+3
[Dice=Damage+Point-Blank Shot]1d6+2+1

The giant crab briefly seizes up as Volreg's lightning begins to cook the adventurers' would-be meal!

Sulayman smiles a vicious smile and tries to stab the crab once more, "Take that you chitinous cretin!"

[dice=Gladius]1d20+5

The blade is turned aside by the red carapace!

'What the blazes?' Feeling the static electricity in the air around him, Wulfgar glances at the farm boy and then smiles, he lifts his new sword and slashes at the nearest crab. "Ha, Volreg is going to cook you for us even."

Attack: MW Greatsword
[dice=attack]1d20+6 for [dice=damage]2d6+6

Wulfgar's greatsword shears the monstrous crab in twain! One half, composed of meaty legs, still clings to the rail, but the other half, comprising the bulk of the crab's great body, falls into the green waves!

One giant crab down, and one to go...

The lone remaining giant crab snaps at Wulfgar...1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14...missing the Northman aasimar by inches!

OOH-OOH-AH-AH!!! ROUND DOS!! EEEEK!!!

GIOVANNA!
VOLREG!
WULFGAR!
ALTIN!
SULAYMAN!
MWIKALI!
GIANT CRABS!
LORD PERPIREEN!

EEEEEEEEK!!! DING! DING!

"Well will you look at that, a very big crab"

Giovanna darts around to try to find a weak spot in the crab's armor, but finding none. She still tries to pierce the creature's shell anyways.
moving to flank if possible, if not subtract the +2...and doing a parry/riposte as well.stabby: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5p/r: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

assuming since the crab is close enough to attack Wulfgar, that Wulfgar is close enough to the crab to attack back :-)
'Well, that one's moving toward me, I hope it doesn't knock the remains of the other off.' seeing the second crab draw near, Wulfgar raises his sword and slashes at it, burying the greatsword in the railing.

CLINK!! Again, the rapier blade bows against the stony exoskeleton of the giant crab! It clacks its pincers at Lady Giovanna mockingly!

"Seems they have things well in hand Kiku" she says as she stands in just her cloak. She watches and waits as her currenr spells bare no combat origins.

Sulayman runs toward the other crab and lunges at it, trying to pierce it's plating.

Gladius: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Altin considers using daze on the remaining crab, but is unsure the cantrip can affect such a large creature. He draws his bowstring back once more.

Short bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
