We are going to go ahead and open the discussion thread here, For those who made it congratulations.
I am going to give people a couple of days before I start to RP the night before if you want, if not that is fine too.
I am hoping that we are all going to have a fun time. Please let me know if you are not.
I am ready to go. Excited to be aboard.
Ready to go. Beware the wee ones. ;)
Do you think this is the right place Swum? I think this is the right place.
Hey Ben, Risam.
Question for GM. The 'Ancient Explorer' Trait is a bit confusing to me and I might have added a language that I shouldn't have. Does it mean I can get Cyclops for 'free' and so I'd have my 4 bonus languages plus Cylopean or does it just mean I can choose Cylcops as one of my bonus languages?
The way I read it you can choose Polyglot or Cyclops, one of which will be added on top of any languages you know. But I am not the DM so as always final word is theirs.
So the impression I am getting is that we are going to RP the night before we all wake up on the ship. and we are going to start doing that in a couple of days?
Seems like it unless our other crewmen check in. But it's only been a day and they could be in different time zones.
Everyone's favorite simioid (or would be humanian?) checking in! Looking forward to the game with everybody. Risam, you be careful with that alchemy stuff. Maybe not so much when you're ashore, but on a boat, fire = bad!
Sorry my posting times are weird between 3am and 1:00pm CST
To me it doesn't matter wither you want to our not, I was giving some time till everyone checks in. I will be opening the Gameplay thread later today and we can start then.
@Ajani
I have played a S&S that died early on as another class. We had an alchemist with little regard to that. He died on another ship we boarded in the hold because he could not get out due to his own bomb created fire, took another PC with him that tried to help. Risam is not that stubborn or foolish. Personally I intend to get a discovery addressing just that as soon as I can. In the mean time I can make plenty of acid. ;)
OMG Aoro Osris
You had to point that out didn't you. you crazy SOB!
That was me...
Laniss Rainscribe
You should blow up more ships! LOL. oh my... This is not going to be fun, i am not going to live that down now am I
Oh that was you?! I don't normally check peoples aliases and stuff. xD
I was keeping it vague not to point anyone out. Don't worry we loved Laniss and his nuttiness. To bad we never got to see a lot of Drake's stuff.
Anyways no worries I don't poke at people often. Depending on what you write up I may have to blow myself up to survive. I once played a wizard that had to use a fireball at point blank range, not fun but only option at the time. What are you going to do, enemies are not considerate. ;)
You are lucky enough that I am not evil on it and make you do it sir.
You were a good person there, I hope that you play well here too as well.
better yet I hope everyone likes my DMing style
So where are our chef and the Swashbuckler?
More than happy to have an extra language :) Looking at the positions of the ship in the campaign tab It seems like QuarterMaster would be the best fit for the high int Chaenath.
Game Tread is open
Any word on our kobold?
Here I thought we would be the mini trio causing mayhem and destruction where ever our tiny feet would take us. xD
I sent the kobold a PM with a link to the Gameplay thread. You may need to pick someone else though GM.
Ah, crackerbarrels.
Sorry gang, got tied up by RL and computer issues (I hate having to scrub a hard drive)... anyways! I'm back, and glad to see I passed the selection process! Lemme get started so we can continue!
okay sorry about this but i have fallen ill and havent been around give me till monday and i will post actions etc sorry about it
No worries. Just get well soon and back up your computers
Items found onboard the ship are all assumed to be sized for medium creatures?
Wow... I have never seen a plan go from a perfect 1 to a perfect 20 so fast.
So I guess they caught me hiding the rum, but apparently, my draconic cussing and banging on the locker is like a lullaby.
Kuuthros sometimes I wonder if you are playing the same game as the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure you passed the rum check. Though it seems like you can't hide it, just dispose of it with a DC10 Stealth check. Rolling 1 isn't an automatic fail for skill checks.
@Kuuthros
Don't mean to be noisy but where is your character sheet?
@DM
Why did my diplomacy roll only get indifferent? If she started as unfriendly I would have failed. If she started indifferent then it's high enough to get her to friendly.
Sense when one of us fails on a diplomacy check it reflects the attitude of the NPC towards all of us. I suggest no one target the same person as another. That way we can spread our efforts and not be counter productive on someone else's roll.
Yeah I'd like to know how the Charm Person spell interacts with this as that's Chaenath's only dependable route to influencing people. Would Failing it cause the person to get suspicious or not matter? Would succeeding just move a person to friendly permanently?
From what I have read charm person is temporary. Also it has a verbal component you'd be subject to perception checks to be noticed. Throw in Sense Motive to notice someone under the effects of an enchantment. As well sailors being superstitious in nature and it's not worth the risk in my book.
Personally I consider charm person a defensive spell.
Anyways that's my take on it. As always it's the DM's call.
Yeah Chaenath is a high int character which isn't really helpful at this stage of the game. Might be better to just keep her head down right now.
So anyone want to take bets on how long Kuuthros will last being keelhauled? xD
Honestly man, pardon reptile, stealing from a chest some items is one thing. Stealing the whole chest is going to get noticed by a senile one eyed bilge rat much less anyone else on the ship. The last thief was killed only a few hours ago. How did you even move the thing. >.<
This here works pretty well for making very simple maps. you can adjust the size of the map, and Paint the tiles how you want. to put in a character drag and drop a picture into the map. There are no instructions on how to use it so you just gotta fiddle with it. A lot of people use google doc drawings to do combat maps.
dungeon grid and ditzie work better for my workplace than google docs or other media sharing sites do.
There will be no update today I am sorry I have to take care of some home issues so I will not be able to update much more either tomorrow or sunday depending on how well, tonight goes
Sorry about this guys/gals
No worries GM. RL first.
I got a PM from the Chef earlier today, saying that he wasn't going to be able to join us. I am going choose someone from the list that I thought would fit our little group.
If someone has any issues with this please let me know
I am going to try choose someone before I get off the boards today.
I was selected to come in for the chef.
Thank you for the concideration.
Will call myself Kash for short. :)
Welcome Kashmyk! as you can see we are just about to get in a brawl with some other members of the crew. I'd say roll for initiative and post some actions.
Are we doing block initiative, or individual ?
And noticed that you were getting into a fight.
As for actions, thinking what I can do.
Kash you will be going last this time, and I normally take and roll for everyone.
Alright, then you can ignore the init roll that I made in character.
Sorry for the delay. Taking my action.
I think the most successful one this fight will be our druid. :)
I think we are all gonna get lashes for being late, and Ben is probably gonna catch a beating.
I think the lashes will come from brawling. :(
If the lashes came from brawling the other pirates wouldn't be starting anything with us they would be going for strait intimidation. Besides the first mate and the Bosun are buttheads. The will give us lashes for being late.
True enough. But I got's a feeling that the bosun and mate will get his paid back.
I am just wondering what the captain plans on doing with Ben's spare cloths. There aren't many people on board that they will fit. I what my stuff back. =(
You think that the capn could fit in a dwarfs cloths ?
I also want my gear back. :(
