Baolus woke up to find Kroop sober and ready to work. He was glad that the big man was managing to keep away from the poisonous drink. Kroop did most of the work, which let Baolus a lot of free time. He spent this time sneaking at the Officer's Quarters, looking for anything interesting.

During the night, intending to try his luck again at the hog lob game, Baolus ditched his rum overboard and prepared himself to play. Before the game, he looked for Buhayra for some coins. "Hey Blue! I'm feeling lucky today... wanna make some shinnies?"
[dice=Stealth (rum)]1d20+7
[dice=Hog Lob]1d20+6How much can we bet? I was thinking about 5-10gp each night.
Make me a Stealth check for your snooping, since there's usually someone keeping watch.
Also, you can bet as much as you'd like. If you bankrupt the crew, I'll let you know.

I feel like there should be other places of the ship to search/explore, but I don't know where they might be. I worry the captains quarters and other higher up kinds of places might be more dangerous and trapped and stuff. Not sure where I should go poking my nose.
Not being able to pick locks has also kept me from taking things from other crew members. Wouldn't mind stealing from Aretta and Scourge. Doesn't seem like there would be any harm. Can't make them more pissed at us.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Some bookkeeping accounting stuff, boring but just so you guys know what I am doing.
I moved 10 sp to my personal from the party fund and moved 1 gp from my personal to to party fund. This making change allowed me to gamble last night with my money instead of party money. Don't know if I feel comfortable gambling with party money without your guys' permission.
In a PVP I played years ago they used a google doc to keep track of party inventory and individual inventories in one place. I am going to see if I still have a copy of that google doc. Maybe we can use a version of it for this game.

Level Up!
+4 HP (Technically +6, but with the addiction, I'm running a -2 Con)
+1 Fort
+1 Will
+1 BAB
Lots of skills got a boost (stupid Int based class)
And picked up Perfect Strike and Mudball
Buhayra Sarraf |
What do we need to do ic to recognize you are addicted?
Once we know ic Madiya can cast cure disease and then you are good.
Madiya |
Cure disease is a 3rd level spell, can't cast that yet...
Tamesis Kieran |
I'm working on my post, now. She's gonna have a few tells...
Hopefully there's enough tells there for someone to start being concerned...
All that needs to happen is for Tammy to not drink any rum long enough for her to make 2 consecutive fort saves. If Buhayra can forcefully convert her rum (and make sure no one gives her any more), that shouldn't take too long.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Cure disease is a 3rd level spell, can't cast that yet...
Oh, I was thinking of your remove exhaustion or whatever. Right.
Tamesis Kieran |
The dice generator hates us right now, apparently.
Who pissed off the dice gods?! Someone sacrifice a d12, dang it!

Guys, I'll have to attend a wedding this weekend that is not that close to where I live. I'll take a plane by the end of the day and be back on Monday, even if I believe I'll only be able to properly post on the following day (30th).
I'll try to post before departing but since there are a lot of things I need to do at work and home, I'm not sure I'll be able to. GM, feel free to bot me in the meantime!
(Posting this in all the games I'm currently playing)

Sven has a 25ft swim speed:
Swim
A creature with a swim speed can move through water at its indicated speed without making Swim checks. It gains a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform a special action or avoid a hazard. The creature can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered when swimming. Such a creature can use the run action while swimming, provided that it swims in a straight line.
So he is bringing a rope over to the worse of the two swimmers. If a swim test is needed he will take-10, for a 21 total.
Tamesis Kieran |
Stupid forum didn't take my stupid post stupid stupid...
So, that's one Fort save in the bag. If we're not still fighting this the next night, I just need someone (everyone) to deny Tammy the rum ration, and hopefully that will be the end of the addiction.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Very curious if my minor Hydrokinesis is going to be at all effective. I am not surel, but it was the only thing she can do to possibly be helpful.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Happily looking forward to what your adjudication on it is since the RAW is not very clear on what that part of the power can do.
Some interesting theories online about it. I liked this article from stack exchange. But, if you already have a DM decision don't let this sway you one way or the other.
Darth Maximus |
@Buhayra: What I did was add the appropriate Str mod to the Swim checks for one person, in this case Rosie.
I'm only going to ask for daytime actions for this update, since the upcoming bloody hour may take away some nighttime actions. After that, we'll do a bigger update, spanning from the nighttime actions of day 9 to the next scripted event.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Cool beans. Makes sense to me. I am glad she was helpful.
Kehlysch |
I think you over charged yourself on your Fatigue penalty, Sven.
The description of the conditions says "-2 to Dexterity" not "-2 to Dexterity checks". If I am understanding correctly, that means your Dexterity Score is reduced by 2 temporarily, which means your Dex Bonus is reduced by 1.
If I am misinterpreting this, then I need to take one more off of my Catch-a-Rat roll, which would still pass, if just barely.
Buhayra Sarraf |
If bloody hour knocks down any of our people Buhayra will try to rush forward to help them below deck like we have seen others do. Then after she is out of sight of Plug and Scourge she will use Kinetic Healer to stand then back to up, taking the point of burn herself.
Of course of she is knocked unconscious because of her natural 1 last night then that won't happen. :)
Tamesis Kieran |
It's a -2 penalty to the stats themselves, so -1 to rolls dealing with those stats. And it doesn't affect Wisdom or Constitution, so Sven doesn't take a penalty on either of those rolls.
Edit - I wanna just say before I post, that I fully authorize any PvP necessary if you guys wanna force Tammy not to drink the rum (once you figure out the addiction). Wanna punch her out before she can drink? Do it!
Buhayra Sarraf |
Made a quick post for Tamesis's benefit.
Tamesis Kieran |
And I replied. This should be fun.
Buhayra Sarraf |
DM - Question before my posts...I would like to continue fleecing the crew for their gold, but Balous is an integral part of doing so. How would you feel about me botting his next evenings night time actions? (Everybody is going right to bed tonight I assume).
It is okay if the answer is no. I can go back to betting on random games of Arm Wrestling or Hog Lob, but Bal playing Hog Lob is more of a sure bet...Until the crew decides to stop betting against him.
On a tangentially related note, when you have an opportunity please remember that Grok kindly gave me a tour of her inventory.
Buhayra Sarraf |
Just friendly bets. I lose sometimes...I promise. :D
Darth Maximus |
I'm not ok with allowing that, since Baolus's player didn't expressly allow it. And really, not a lot of people are going to bet against him anymore. Maybe one more time, but they're not stupid.
Most if them aren't stupid.
Not stupid enough, at least.
You should be able to win at Heave pretty easily, with your purification power. Even if you get Sickened, you're still not taking any damage, so you won't pass out.
Buhayra Sarraf |
True...I might run that scam once then...make a name for myself.
Will get a post up tonight after training class leaves...around 6ish.
Darth Maximus |
Yeah, you'll need to make an opposed Bluff or Sleight of Hand check if you're going to cheat at Heave. I'll be editing this post with the contents of Grok's shop.
On that note, what is everyone still missing from their starting gear?
1 starknife
3 flasks of acid
6 flasks of alchemist’s fire
4 sets of thieves tools
1 battered iron box containing six candles
1 potion of barkskin
1 potion of haste
1 masterwork climber’s kit
1 disguise kit
4 flasks of holy water
1 magnifying glass
1 set of manacles
2 tanglefoot bags
1 masterwork light crossbow
3 cutlasses
31 daggers
3 masterwork daggers
43 masterwork darts
4 saps
1 masterwork sap
120 arrows
20 masterwork arrows
6 +1 arrows
200 crossbow bolts
1 suit of banded mail
1 breastplate
2 chain shirts
1 masterwork leather armor
3 suits of studded leather armor
12 bucklers
2 masterwork bucklers
1 +1 dagger
1 +1 short sword
1 masterwork warhammer
Scrolls of cure moderate wounds, mage armor, magic missile, scorching ray, and summon swarm
1 wand of bless weapon (16 charges)
10gp worth of mundane adventuring gear
And whatever gear is left over from your starting gear that you have not yet recovered.
Madiya |
Let's see...
underwater light crossbow and 50 bolts
spell component pouch
masterwork backpack, containing:
-waterskin
-iron holy symbol (backup)
-silk rope (50 ft)
-grooming kit
-common artisan's tools for craft (siege weapons)
-4 gp
Buhayra Sarraf |
For me that would include:
1 mundane hip flask
1 backpack
10 trail rations
a money pouch with 40 gc in it - a tiny bit sour about this one (general situation, not at anyone in particular). If I had known the AP and that we got stripped bare right at the beginning of the AP I would have bought other junk instead of just leaving a pool of GC since I didn't have anything, in particular, to do with it.
Those potions of barkskin and haste look nice, but unless we come into a small fortune while on board I don't see us affording them any time soon.
A couple of flasks of alchemists fire or acid for emergency situations might be good though...Things to think about.
Nothing to retroactively purchase right now...but we can say that I gave a general gist of what I saw and answered questions for the rest of the party so they IC know the information you posted as well.
Tamesis, any of those scrolls good ideas for you to buy to add to your spellbook at some point? I have always considered spells for the arcane caster's spell book and other general good kinds of items (like buff wands for example) to be partly or fully party funds expenditures in my IRL games.
Buhayra Sarraf |
So that IC post was probably supremely stupid. I figure so long as I don't outright die I will be okay though.
Buhayra Sarraf |
(My Nighttime action will depend on how bad a beating I take, I guess.)
If I am conscious and able to get to you after bloody hour then you will get night time actions.
Course, after my post that is probably a big if. :D
Tamesis Kieran |
I'm just missing a dagger, my scroll case, and 5 scrolls of Keep Watch.

RIP Bluehayra :P
