Just then the sounds of footsteps on the stairs between decks echo and coming down the stairs are several pirates. The First wearing all black and carrying a whip, which he suddenly cracks as he comes onto the crew deck. He has a blood red bandana tied around his head, and his dark eyes look malicious and hard as he eyes all of you. he wears a skull amulet around his neck and a black trenchcoat that reaches down to his knees. He has brown leathers under the trenchcoat. hes got a sword earing ring in his right ear and a normal round one in the other. A thick beard covers his face and as he smiles several gold teeth can be seen. A Hand Axe and a Punching Dagger are in his belt.
behind him The first man that was with you comes in and behind him coming down the stairs are a half orc carrying a scimitar, a saucy red head with a rapier in her belt, A gnome with a mean smile holding a gnome hook hammer over his shoulder dressed in green and a red headed halfling who stubbs her toe and says Damn Fargin wet stair.
The first one smiles evilly at each of you and says
Suns over the yardarm ye filthy swabs. Get onto the deck and report to duty afore Capn Harrigan flays the skin from yur bodies and gives ye to Fishguts to make into sausages for dinner.
BTW Lily is on a redemption arc, as much as she can be all things considered.
Cool! My plan for Ellie is a fear-conquering arc.
May I assume that Abel's arc is actually already guessed at?
I had to clean soda off my keyboard, Lily! Why, oh why doth thou hath murderous intent on our lowly, innocent wizard?
Cause the infernal spirit that corrupts her soul knows he can get away with it with Abel, lol.
I will be busy tonight. Will not get anything up until at least 0800 tomorrow.
My father-in-law is visiting this week so I'll be less available than usual.
Abel with the crazy natural 20 to influence, damn.
Also, the GM has the crew information. And to the GM, should we also put spoilers on our posts?
Not neccessary. Doing it to make it easy for folks to find their information in a wall of text
It was definitely a Hail Mary; since she was Hostile...lol.
Late for the arc building, but for Des it will be trying to learn to trust others due to a rough revelation from her past.
I am totally getting this scene in my head after your sneaky Edit, Lily...lol.
And, the following scene is Abel after he gets his Spellbook back!
I'd like to know how my Sense Motive check went.
sorry bout that. put it in there now.
I know I was the one who put the original GM recruitment in but I'm going to drop out. I'm not feeling my character, I need to stop submitting her for recruitments. And I'm having family trouble recently so I have a choice between keeping up the games I'm running or the ones I'm playing in and I'd rather do the former.
Happy gaming everyone.
Thanks for putting all of this together and I wish you the best.
Sorry to hear that, Delmoth. I hope things look up for you and yours.
wish you and yours the best Delmoth.
Abel will be sad to see his BIG sister leave!
See you around, my friend!
Wish you the best, and thank you for letting us know
Wishing you and yours the best.
For ease of reference.
I am suspecting that Seadreamer was successful with a 24.
Abel may have limped by with a 16?
I wasn't clear, I was trying for the sneak roll.
The first 2 rolls were for the job I was assigned.
Oops! I meant Brunhild.
Can't really blame lack of coffee for this one!

All dwarves look alike? Into the book of grudges you go!
Not gonna lie; I was thinking it...hehe!
At least you didn't bring Narwal into the mix. Now that's a dwarf that will likely hold a grudge on you.
Ill move this along today. took a couple days away for bday with wife....;)
Now we just need to smack him in the head with a hammer, to remove him from the book of grudges. :)
I likely won't be able to post due to going to an area with limited reception starting tomorrow.
Time with the family is always better than time at the table. Normally.
Agreed. Health, Family, Work, then game. Those are the order that I usually follow.
I would just like to say that you can continue without me for the time being. I should be able to post regularly again on Wednesday.
Looks like Terry's the only one who knows what Des is saying right now.
My apologies for being absent for a few days. Been moving since Friday. And no internet connection in the new house (even though I'm in the middle of the city and my cell signal for inet was also nonexistent.
Cable Guy installed a modem this morning...and voila
I'm back
These dice roles are crazy.
They usually tend to go the other way for me. Surprised that I am not addicted to the rum right now. :)
These will "roll-over" soon enough.
I kinda want to try some gambling. And while I don't have any gold to gamble with, we female characters always have one thing we could offer up. If people are okay with introducing that angle into the game-- if not that's cool too, I'll try something else.
That will likely be up to the GM and how he thinks the NPCs will react to that, but if you feel that is in character for your PC, then I'm fine with it. Des is using more of a charm initiative that she's done in her past (and is not from that particular profession) and I know Terry as a follower of Calistria is more than happy to do such a thing. I don't want people to be pressured into that.
My rule of thumb? I’m ok with it so long as anything explicit fades to black.
IC? Brunhild will look down on Ellie, but that’s it
Abel would blush every time he was around Ellie; if he even notices...as for myself, I agree with Brunhild.
For physical activities along those lines, fade to black and slight mention of where they are going and why with nothing explicit.
The only issue I feel with that activity on a pirate ship, is once the door opens ...its unlikely to ever be shut with the crew...it categorizes the character in the eyes of the crew and there is likely to be a lot of untoward advances after that. so Id think twice before you gambled it.
Agreed on the explicit stuff fading to black,
I agree with the GM that on board ship, it could lead to all sorts of awkward issues that you might not want to deal with, or which could leave the rest of the party in a bad spot trying to sort it out.
But in the end, it is your character, but think it over.
IIRC, the royal navy crews in the 1800's gambled with their daily rum rations.
My thinking was that we'd more or less get categorized that way among pirates regardless, especially since we're newcomers, so might as well use it to my advantage. But if that's not the case, I certainly wouldn't want to be the only one.
The only one I can think of with that reputation for now is Des and that's with just one crewmate for background reasons and one she's trying to shake out of. If that is what your character would want to do, then you are free to do so. Just know that it could lead to issues for the party involved.
Ellie so did you decide what youre evening action was going to be?
It looks like Ellie's player posted.
I'm getting pretty lucky with the rolls. If anyone has any item they want to get, just ask Des and she might be able to get it for you.
Seadreamer hears the Bosuns mate tell Scrimshaw, You go get him help from his friends. tell em to stop by the Quartermaster and get 1 weapon each afore comin here. Only the new ones. Badger. Shivikah you keep anyone or anything that goes down there, down there til the rats are dead. ya got it? Ming get down there and help youre buddy.
Sounds like my idyllic day of sun tanning is being interrupted.
