Skulls and Shackles

Game Master Diamondust

Warren will volunteer to go and recruit daily till full.

One thing to note: the DC to increase Infamy and Disrepute will get higher over time as it's based on our party level. Speaking from experience in another S&S game, it's best to raise it as much as we can at lower levels when the DCs are tough but not as tough. A dedicated face character, maybe backed up by some aid another rolls, will be helpful here. Certain events might raise it too, but best not to count on that.

I have a +7 bluff, +11 intimidate, and +11 perform. (I think the Captain has the same modifiers)

Also. I have a trait which gives a +1 to our infamy score.

Warren is also of buccaneer blood.

recruits: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Finally got things worked out for Rosanne.

She's picked Bloodline intensity as her Mythic Archmage Path ability.

Taking the Toughness feat to make her a little more durable. :)

3rd level Sorcerer is the big one for her. Aquatic Adaptation (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain a swim speed of 30 feet. At 9th level, you gain the amphibious special quality and develop a fat layer that grants a +1 natural armor bonus and resist cold 5. When immersed in water, you gain blindsense 30 feet. At 15th level, you gain a swim speed of 60 feet and blindsense of 60 feet in water.

Rosanne, do note that upon attaining your 5th character level, you get a feat...plus a mythic feat for your first tier :)

If allowed to recruit and help with infamy
Warren adds stories of the ship and her crew to his pitch.
perform to aid with stories: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

2 buccaneer blood traits so I will change the party score to 4 infamy and disrepute.

Warren recruit 3 new crew, bringing your number up to 10.

Nice job Rosanne! I thought Silent Rob was going to have to aid with a dirty limerick.

If successful recruits: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Second day brings crew number to 14.

Rickety Squibs is considered a Village (77 pop not including crews from docked ships). I will be allowing 1 successful recruitment roll per position on the Settlement Size chart here. The larger the settlement, the more chance to find people to join your crew. An unsuccessful attempt does not count against the limit, it just means no one joined that day.

VitM: The augury ion stone is thematic to an oracle. I have no problem if it is mildly useful with some RP flavor. Warren sees this as direct interaction with Besmara. Maybe it is like a once per day "Spidey Sense" for those Spiderman fans.

I love the idea that Warren is okay with using augury for something so harmless as a game.

DO we need initiative rolls for this encounter?

I will roll initiative when required.

My health is very bad at the moment I'm afraid. Please bot me if I'm taking too long to post. Hopefully the new medication will settle things down.

Oof, I'm sorry. I hope things settle down again soon and you'll be back to full health and capriciousness!

I have a question about this lovely little town: what's the purchase limit? So we can pick up supplies and trade and whatnot?

Take care and get well.

Get well

I have to make an unexpected trip this weekend so I may be absent until Monday.

Thanks for the heads up. Stay safe.

Hopefully you come back with much plunder for your troubles!

Back home and on medication which seems to be calming things down. Should be back in a couple of days.

Thanks for your patience.

Get well :)

Can everyone else act in combat please.

Sorry, my PC didn’t accept the invitation to play and I don’t think my PC is there (no token). That’s why I haven’t posted.

Are you elsewhere or watching like Tobias?

For my part, I can't move around in Imgur either. Thought I'd accepted the invitaation and thought it was just me.

Are you elsewhere or watching like Tobias?

Let’s have her be watching. But perhaps a little father away and it takes 2 rounds to get there?

alright let's do that.

Of course guys, Imgur is just an image, you post your actions and I update the map. The real map is on roll 20.

Nice, we are double buffing!!

It appears our bard is providing +2 inspire courage!!

All dolphin attacks should be another +1 to hit and damage.

Not often I get to the levels where inspire gets this good!

The Dolphins had odd con values, so D1 couldnt attack last turn and D10 at 2hp was in a save or die situation.

I am assuming we are not doing three dimensions, so for ease of map play one token per square including above and below.

Turns out I was overly optimistic about adjusting to a new regime of medication. It's taken me a week to get it sorted in a way that doesn't leave me a zombie.

I've spent most of last week napping and lacking any energy to do anything.

Happily I'm feeling better and regaining my energy after working out what pills to take with each other, and when to take them. I'll start posting again tomorrow. I have a few things to catch up on.

Thanks for your patience.

Get well!!

Yeah, feel better!

I am assuming we are not doing three dimensions, so for ease of map play one token per square including above and below.

I went for it.

Assuming we're using Pathfinder's anything between 6 feet and 10 feet is 10 feet away Ardym would swiming down 5' and over 5' would put the naga in the 5-10 range.

Not that it truly matters because I can't roll anything for crap.

They actually do stack, bless is a morale bonus on saves and attack and inspire courage is a competence bonus on attack and damage and a morale bonus on saves on fear and charms.

So it looks like the combo should provide +3 attack, +2 damage, and +1 to saves (+2 if fear or charm).

I did not factor any of that into my last roll.

Looking forward to your triumphant return :)

@Rosanne - Take care and get well!

So....how is everyone else holding up?

Nice weather in Florida,

Roseanne, my dad recommended lots of vitamin C and one banana for everything. Get well.

Hey! I'm in FL too!

Enjoying one of my state's various 'false springs'.

I am in Ft Walton Beach, so lower Alabama or the panhandle
