That's right! Spellstrike. Got it. Well built, Captain. :)

This whole thing has been my favorite part of this game, so far. A little bit of throwaway fluff to introduce the necklace, and it blossomed into all of this. Serious props to you guys. Kel, in particular.
On a sadder note, I'm going to officially deem Buhayra as abandoned as of tomorrow. I'll be spending the day with my partner and his family tomorrow, but I'll try to reach out to some players who posted in recruitment to see if they'd be willing to come on as replacement. If any of you know any of them personally, I won't turn away recommendations.
Everyone: Urgan Legsnapper will be joining our ranks, replacing Buhayra. He will be introduced here shortly, in-game.
Say hi!
Welcome! With a name like legsnapper I’m sure you will fit right in
I'm looking forward to jumping in.
Welcome welcome! Look forward to playing alongside you.
Welcome Urgan!
Guys, as Tamesis pointed out, those boots seem really nice, but 1000gp is more than I can afford. Does any of you have 501gp to lend Baolus?
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you with us.
Just curious, GMs: how are we handling Buhayra's disappearance in-game? Are we just moving along as if she weren't there before, or will there be some story element involving her deciding to retire from the piracy business?
Urgan, glad you seized on that hook to get your attention. :)
@ Baolus: I can lend the money, sure. Especially as it seems like we won’t be raiding this village.
@ Keh: For now we have two ships. We could send her with a skeleton crew to go sell the ship and wait for us in port. Plenty of things could happen to her there that would make her give up piracy.
I do have a plan for having her exit the game, yes. Until then, she'll basically be a background NPC. Of course, Sven's idea is a good one. If you want to send her back to port with the lugger, you can do that, too.
I've got over 500 gp that you could borrow. But I expect it to be paid back :)
You could also pull it out of the party loot and pay it back later.
About the boots, I decided against buying it... I looked at the wrong price. It costs 2000gp, so I'm not sure it is worth that much!
Looks like our new addition has Craft Wondrous Item. You could always ask him nicely....
The herbalism druid domain acts like Brew Potion but only for spells I can cast. I can make 4 free ones per day.
Under the Feats section in your profile, it says Craft Wondrous Item...
Were we going to send Buhayra off with the lugger to sell it as her exit?
I had assumed we would do that after The Rock, but we could do it now if that'll make things easier.
You're right, we can send her after the Rock, since we were planning on the two-ship Intimidation thing.
Wait, what about raiding the village? Or are we not doing that bwcause we picked up Urgan there?
It would be really bad form
It would be really bad form
Gonna hafta agree with this.

Same. And also I was trying to keep things moving.
I’m not an expert on wild shape.

Can you turn into a goliath frog? It has a Climb speed, so at night you can scale the walls. Sven could fly up and maybe carry one person. Maybe Tamesis, as she might be light enough.
Once the ballistae are shut down, our ship can batter down the gate. Or we can let down ropes for everyone else to climb up.

Also if we take this place, we could make Blue the castellan of the tower! A good way to use a missing PC, no?
With his archetype, I think the only form he could take that could get up there is a Giant Flying Piranha...

Giant Flying Piranha
LIke I needed more nightmare fuel...
Right now my wild shape is limited to small and medium- aquatic or water subtype or that have the amphibious special quality. I can also choose to grow a pair of tentacles.
Giant flying piranha linked above is aquatic, small, and has fly speed :)

That was my original plan.

Right?
Do we need to kill them? An actual agreement could get the fortress taken and with men already defending it. Killing them all might well leave us with a tower and no soldiers to occupy it.
Realistically? There is absolutely no reason not to form an alliance, if the terms are beneficial to us.
Tamesis is just evil, and sees them as a threat. To her, forming an alliance will result in her being stabbed in the back, because if the situations were reversed, that's what she'd do. She'd rather leave someone she actually trusts in charge.
Also, everything dies eventually. The world will drown in flames. Destruction is her purpose.
Making money and having a good time is Sven’s. Destruction serves little purpose if not for one of those two. He urges the captain to not throw away either without good cause.
And this is why cooperative storytelling is awesome. :) Colliding mindsets keep things interesting.
Kehlysch will go along with killing them, or keeping them alive.
He doesn't really derive satisfaction out of either.
The Bulge, however, subscribes to the old Shaka Zulu TV mini-series mantra:
"Never leave an enemy behind, for if you do, one day it will rise and fly at your throat!"
Your collective case of near pathological paranoia is so endearing!
How much time until the dinner? I could brew some hibernate potions disguised as Urgan's Hangover Prevention Elixir. Each one would take 2 hours to brew.
I could also start some other 1st level spell potions if there are any requests.
You reached the island in the early morning, so you've got a few hours. Enough time for the prepared casters to redo spells, I suppose....
I'll make up to four cure light potions while we wait.
I posted some history of the Rock. If that information would change how your character would vote, I don't see any harm in retconning.
If I made the check Sven will have another argument for his position.
The DC was 20.
You know what, screw it. Go ahead and take it.
Thanks!
I'll get a post up a bit later, Things are nuts at work.
I'm also going to be travelling on business for the next couple of weeks, doing audits on other offices. I'll do my best to keep up my once-per-weekday pace, but I might have to miss a day. Just a heads up.
Sorry Kehlysch. But the women seem to love Sven and his mighty Cha10. Better luck next time!
She’s more of a turf girl than a surf girl, I guess!
Oh yeah, just in case it matters later - did Blue come in with us or did we leave her back on the ship?
Tamesis ordered her to remain on the ship.
Right, thanks.
Looks like my post earlier got eaten.
Reposting now.
Tamesis ordered her to remain on the ship.
She actually volunteered to take control of the lugger while the group is in the tower. She sent Urgan in her stead.
