YAAAR ME MATEYS! It be here that I will take those on board who wish to take on the dangers of the module "Plunder and Peril"!
Our aim is the claim all 3 of the of the treasured chronicle boons, and as such I will only take the most dedicated of sea dogs who be willing to sign up for the whole journey!
We be looking for five more crewmates, as I already have me first mate who requested this adventure! So, tell me who ya wish to sign with and I'll sign you up! Remember, this be a long adventure with lots of the roleplay, and I expect me crew to give at least a single post everyday! Except on weekends, we'll relax a little. Seadogs gotta have a life! Due to the length of this adventure, I may be a bit more picky than I normally am, so nothing personal if your not selected. I'll be picking crewmates based on who's needed to keep ya landlubbers alive, as well as your posting habits and history, and if the cut of your gib be to my liken!
So who's ready to set sail me hearty's? We be off to the Inner Sea!
Arrgh! This is a PFS game, so yer character must be a level 3-5 character within the PFS rules.
As for your Resume, tell me-
What be Yar name?
What be Yar Quest?
What be Yar ideal ship?
What be Yar ideal position on that ship?
Ahoy, this sounds like a rollicking journey. Any specifics on our resumes/character creation?
Arrgh! This is a PFS game, so yer character must be a level 3 character within the PFS rules.

What be Yar name?
What be Yar Quest?
What be Yar ideal ship?
What be Yar ideal position on that ship?
Thinking about a ship's chef who's also a dreadnaught barbarian ...slashing away with cleavers and machetes ...
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Yar, me thought about it, and me thinks I will run this in "Campaign Mode". It gives me a bit more leeway to have fun so long as I put ya lubbers though your paces. BUT you must still adhere to the pathfinders code! Yar!

I'll bring a human female, Cleric of besmara.
What be Yar name? Yvonne crownsilver
What be Yar Quest? to find all the gold
What be Yar ideal ship? a galleon
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? captain of course!
Thanks for running this I've been looking to play this for a while. I can post at least once a day.
What be Yar name? Jack Escalara, Inquisitor of Besmara
What be Yar Quest? Infiltrate and convert those fools lashed to the yoke of the merchants and militaries that dare to sail the shackles to the Pirate Queen's word
What be Yar ideal ship? A sloop, something fast - able to catch its prey, and get away from any pursuit
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? If on a pirate ship - Captain be the only proper position. If on a Merchant or Navy ship - cook. No one the crew trusts more than the one making their food
I've played a character like this in some homebrew pirate games for a bit - I'd love to play a version of him again. He is an inquisitor of Besmara with the Conversion domain - his schtick is getting on board merchant and naval ships, then slowly converting the crew until they mutiny and turn to piracy. I can post several times per day during the week, and at least once a day during the weekend.
I'm happy to adjust the character build to suit what the party needs - he could work as a sorceror, cleric, really anything to fill any party role.

What be Yar name? "Wenton. The psychopomp's name is Mortiferix. I died, you see, in Bonekeep. Helluva place to die, right? But they brought me back, well, a seeker brought me, as part of his conditional Venture Captaincy. Weird old bugger was walking around with my skull on his shoulder. Yeah, creeped me out, too. So they made him bring me back. Problem was, when I came back, I brought Mortiferix with me. He's like my guide or guard or somethin'. It's okay. I mean, have you see what the Society puts people through? I'm bound to die soon. It's practically guaranteed. Until then, I have a furry friend with the head of an alligator skull and the body of a lion. Hooray?"
What be Yar Quest? "Um, not to die? I mean, I'm sure it's great fun to be dead, don't remember, but I'm aiming for not dying."

I mean, I never have drowned before, but I imagine it's not somehting I want to do. I mean, send that guy. He looks like he's lived a good life. Or that woman. The one with the angry eyes. I mean she already hates life, so she's halfway there."
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? Quartermaster or Bosun
When are you closing recruitment?

You suddenly see a skinny human woman around 20 with auburn hair and a timid look on her face approaching hastily.
She wears leather armor, has a Scimitar at her hip that is attached to her right wrist with a fine chain and carries a backpack.
She is still running when she starts speaking:
"Captain Starson Sir, Captain Starson Sir ... I am Setare Katsu and would like to report for duty on your ship! I know I am late but I swear that it wasn't my fault ... I ... I just couldn't find the harbor ..."
Suddenly she stops and looks at the crew ...
"Oh my god, I am really here - you guys are sailors ... real sailors! That is sooooo great! I would ..."
Again, she suddenly stops ...
"Oh no, it happened again ... sorry Sir!" and with that she steps back, raises her head and looks straight to Captain Starson and awaits further instructions.
----
I would love to join you! ;-)
Setare is a reserved and insecure young woman that finds her inner strength only in battle ...
What be Yar name? Setare Katsu
What be Yar Quest? ”Never forget that swashbuckling heroism can be part of a pirate's life!“
What be Yar ideal ship? ”ancient two-mast boat“
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? ”Mascot!“
I always post at least once a day and am very much into roleplay. Setare would be a clone of an existing PFS character for your campaign mode.
I am playing Enora in your 'Words of Ancients' scenario. ;-)

"Look here, see Mindy here? What she says goes, and she ain't usually in a good mood."

What be Yar name?
"Me?" replies the Ifrit coyly. "You might have heard of Ashra Ashcleave, who thwarted Earl Vernissant's aims to a legacy that didn't befit him, who killed Chalfon Dalsine for his crimes, who ventured beyond the Midnight Mirror. You might have, but only if you've been alive in the past year." And with that pronouncement, she laughs at her own joke.
What be Yar Quest? "Fame, adventure, showing the boys that we are much better at this than they think they are."
What be Yar ideal ship? "A fast one; one of those Andorani clippers their corsairs like to ride, chasing the yellow sails of Okeno-bound slavers."
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? "Why captain of course!"
The waves crashed lazily onto the beach, one after another in an endless rhythm. Standing taller than a human man in the silhouette of the rising sun, Ortun's pale turquoise skin resembled the water sloshing onto his shins. The warm coastal breeze billowed his straight, thick hair behind him exposing his fin-like ears. Ortun's limpid blue eyes stared onto the horizon, seeing the small black dot slowly growing in size.
One hour, maybe longer if that carp sucking elf is working my tiller before she reaches me. I know not what they will say or do. I not not what I shall say or do.
Standing stoic in the water Ortun waited for the boat to approach.
As the men in the boat rowed towards him, Ortun fingered his shell encrusted mace. "Row no further. This beach is mine. I claimed it in Gozreh's name." As the man spoke, the octagonal pattern of a snapping turtle shell emerged from the water its fleshy head poked out of the shell sniffing the salt air.
"Ortun, we come with a request." the men from the boat called. "None can steer a boat like you. None know the rise and fall of the sea swells like you. None can tack a course through swirling winds like you. Captain needs you, wants you back, says you can have anything you want from the hold."
Silent, Ortun considered the mans' offer. He reached down and rubbed the turtle's shell. "Mishell, what shall we do? Do we go back and accept the captain's peace offering, or do we live free here?" The turtle snapped gently at Ortun's hand.
"We accept your offer." Plunging under the waves, undine and turtle swam out to the boat before both popped up a moment later. Ortun pulled himself onto the boat before plucking the turtle out of the water by its tail.
"Row on, men. Row on until you bring me home."
What be Yar name? Ortun for right now, more later. He is joined by his snapping turtle familiar, Mishell
What be Yar Quest? To explore the ocean blue, and ride the waves of adventure.
What be Yar ideal ship? Catamaran that he steers
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? helmsman
Qildor Varangot is a half elven skald raised Ironbound Islands by his human mother and uncle. His father is rumored to have been from the fabled Mordant Spire. He was raised on sea fairing tales of adventure from his mother, who though a commoner knew how to read and taught him from an early age. At 16 he was apprenticed to a cargo ship under the tutelage of his practical uncle the 2nd mate of the ship. Qildor's contract has expired and he now seeks his own way in the world yearning to know more...more about his father, more about his place in the world, and more about his destiny.
What be Yar name? I am Qildor Varangot (My given name is elvish, my family name that of my Ulfen Mother)
What be Yar Quest? To find my Father and ask him why did you pick my mother? Why did you leave us? What is my duty/task in life?
What be Yar ideal ship? An Ulfen Dragon ship with an extra mast outfitted with silk elven sails.
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? Navigator or Captain

What be Yar name? Loquinar Brightcoral, half aqautic elf and a shaper of water
What be Yar Quest? To learn more about my heritage and to understand water and how it works.
What be Yar ideal ship? An Ulfen Dragon ship with an extra mast outfitted with silk elven sails, it is just so classic, at least from the stories that I have heard, read and made up .
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? Happy to be on board and to do what is needed.
A halfling wanders up to the group of people crowding around the ship, a smile turning up his lips, a slightly tattered tricorn hat on his head and a scratched monocle in one eye. The state of his clothes, outfit, and hair, suggest that he’d seen some hard times. He pushes into the crowd, gently with a few apologies and a couple of easy laughs. Getting close enough to actually see what is going on, he slides into line waiting for his chance at the interview.
What be Yar name? With the first question, Nerrot burst into a hearty laugh. ”Of carse ye’d start with that!” He takes a moment to breathe before becoming deathly serious. ”Narmally, I’d give ye something simple’n’false like Harald or Lem, but I raalllly need seme wark, sa I’ll be level with ye, my name’s Nerrot, Nerrot Ergaval. Maybe ye’ve hard of the Ergaval Family? From Brevay? Nah. Didn’t expect so... Well there was a time when everyone had hard of us and if’n I can get enough money I’m a’hoping to build the name again.”
What be Yar Quest?
“Ha-HA, ye dan’t listen closely do ye? I’m ganna build the Ergaval name up again! May take years, but I’ll do it!”
What be Yar ideal ship?
Nerrot stops to think for a second, before commenting “Samething with a’bit’o speed. Can’t be trying ta ship things ‘r steal things if ye can’t get in’n’out fast! Sa prabably a Clipper ship but a Brig wald also wark.”
What be Yar ideal position on that ship?
With a crooked smile, the halfling gives the man a wink. “Navigatar! Got a head far the stars, I do! Might also be able ta help with rigging and takin’ a turn at the helm!”
ARRR ME MATIES! These be some grand seadogs ye have! I'm impressed!
So Impressed in fact, I'm gonna break a captains rule of mine, and run two ships. I will give time for some trailing scallywags to get their names in the pot, then I will pick me crews. If I don't choose ye, it ain't not for lack of imagination or gumption, but I gotta make cuts somewhere and sometimes lady luck is a harsh mistress.
Teeeeeeechnically since I'm doing this in campaign mode, you could just have a identical clone that is 4th level appear and apply all the credit, and drop down a level once we're done. Assuming you get chosen of course (I agree though, very thematic)

I also have a wizard that could offer some magical support!
—-
What be Yar name? Shen
What be Yar Quest? ”To live and let live!“ Shen accepts that one’s actions have consequences, and knows that life is not fair, nor is it good or evil. It simply is, and she is determined to seize every moment together with companions and if her insecurity is overcome she would also like to to give others the opportunity to experience the fruits that life has to offer!
What be Yar ideal ship? A royal frigate turned into a pirate ship
What be Yar ideal position on that ship? Courtesan
Shen had a rough start in life. Found decades ago before the rise of house Thrune on the steps of the temple of Calistria, wrapped in blankets, with no name or note of any kind but a golden mark resembling the holy symbol of the Savored Sting on her arm, her life could have ended right there.
But two Calistrian priests, a Sargavan spy and a Korvosan prostitute, Sharon and Kollina, had received a repeating vision that showed two elves in an immoral union and a strange golden mark on their arms that were identical to the mark on the child in front of their steps.
Irritated but obliged to follow this mystical sign the two women cared for the kid in an environment not typical for a child. They named her Shen and although the life of Sharon and Kollina was centered mainly on themselves and pleasure came before duty they raised her in the faith of Calistria.
Though Shen was not the only child in the temple, her innocence and initial lack of social aptitude led to a harsh life in a house where seduction, vengeance and erratic behavior were the norm. Although she also saw the good that could potentially result from the faith, she also saw the evil that was committed in her name.
A child is framed by the environment that she lives in but Shen was never comfortable with the full aspect Calistria’s portfolio, and it was clear after a while that although she was devoted to her two mothers, Shen was not willing to accept Calistria as her goddess.
The rise of house Thrune and the attack on the Calistrian faith throughout Cheliax led to a disaster that Shen could not have imagined. In a single night the majority of Calistrian clerics in Kintargo were either killed, imprisoned or pushed into hiding. Although Shen was already an adolescent at that time it was nonetheless a shock for her when Sharon proclaimed him independent and left her on her own to leave Cheliax.
Shen ’s survival was not a certainty but she was successful to follow her teachings and made a path through Cheliax that led her to a far corner where her Chelish roots would hold but resistance versus house Thrune was also visible: Sargava!

If you are vetting applicants based upon class/race ect. Ortun has a 3rd level shaman skeletoned out if you just click on his name.
If you are drawing names in a hat, please fold mine in quarters before you give the bag a shake ;)
Arrr me matey's! The die has been cast. Selection was made partially on how I felt about ye, and part how much lady luck loves ye. For those who did not make it, I hope ye will sail with me on another adventure. Keep an eye out though, if any of these sea dogs don't report for duty, I'll have 'em hanged for mutiny and put you in their place! For those who did get picked, Report to your stations! We set sail as soon as everyone is aboard!
