Hi there!
After coming back to the boards after a turbulent time, Destinie asked me whether i wanted to (re)join here and yes, i would like to, if that is allright.
Heard you had my character as a NPC? :D

Madame Ming |

Wow thanks for the welcome!
Missed you people too :D

Seadreamer Stonebeard |

Welcome back, now I guess you can really help get these damned rats off of me.
I figure I got 1 more round before I go down due to them. :)

Madame Ming |

Unfortunately i move after the rats, but glad to help if i can :D

Madame Ming |

My turn i guess, but i have several questions:
-what is the light situation in the bilge? On R20 seems like it's dark?
-was Ming able to keep a small weapon or retrieve one by now?

Destinie Nicholae |

Yeah it's a bit confusing right now. It looks like we can only see in our line of sight right now.
Ming has a dagger, so she can use that.
My question is whether I can use my move action for the previous round or did you move for me.

I assume that you are ruling that Drowning wakes them up, because of the damage taken when drowning?
My interpretation reads that they would need to make Con check until they fail, then immediately go to -1hp? Meaning a successful save still keeps them asleep.
Sleep states only 2 ways to wake up: slapping and wounding. They are not wounded until they fail save; but, that makes them dying so...
Admittedly, I have a bit of time on my hands; until next week when I go back to work...lol.

I just take the rules regarding sleep= Sleeping creatures are helpless. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not.
Now I dont read that as you either have to slap or wound to awaken, but rather these are the extremes.
so I ask myself- if they were kicked would that awaken them? yes. wha about a good shove? Yes. What about a serious pinch? yes. note it doesnt say you have to inflict non-lethal damage.
soooo in my view anything that would be a 'shock' would awaken them.
and being forced to breath water is a shock. In fact you could easily say that that is more severe than a slap.
and it doesnt state these are the only two ways (slapping or wounding) it says slapping or wounding awakens which implies the extremes of what does it.

GMMichael |

I took all the dynamic lighting off and put it on daylight mode so everyone can see everyone and you should be able to move between decks. Plus put 'to' indicators for you to know where to go.
Ill just ask that noone go to the places you havent been without being invited (captains quarters or officer quarters)

i will need one or two more days before I start posting agin.
I am helping my wife get settled after her surgery.

Seadreamer Stonebeard |

Should be up to posting tomorrow.
The surgery went well, and now it is just the healing phase which still takes assistance.
Appreciate the wishes. :)

Madame Ming |

Take care and good recovery!

Madame Ming |

How does the gambling work?

Terry of Quent |

I could be mistaken, but I think the bout is GMMichael cleaning up the orphaned character.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to figure out if we can get her spared. We absolutely should. Just means I don't expect to succeed.

Ellie Dewblossom |

The funny part is, if I had to pick one of us to do this bout, I'd probably have picked Lily anyway. She's better built for this than most of us.

GMMichael |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Terry has it right, and yep I knew that Lily wouldve been chosen anyway. lol so it works.
Lily is an evil character anyway, so in the grand scheme of things she would probably either join the crew (being orphaned) or because she is a barbarian and rages, she would get in trouble with the Leadership.
So I can tidy things up and still accomplish what the goal of having an encounter with Owlbear was. ..show how gnarly he is, and how ruthless the leadership is. Huzzah I can kill two birds with one stone.

GMMichael |

haha...
so someone asked me why no posts for a couple days...
I thought to point out something that may be important to note...
my days off fall during the week instead of saturday and sunday. many times Ill work those days. If I take them off though at times I get so busy with real life and honey dos and appts that It precludes any gaming.
sorry

I happen to be fortunate to be in 4 of your games. I think that considering that you GM like 20 more than those; I would say that you are doing a fantastic job!
Much appreciated from my end!

GMMichael |

Ill allow everyone to take 1 action.
Night---choose 1 during crew time. (can take up to 2 more in dead of night but will be fatigued if fail con check DC10 +4 per action taken)
1. Sleep (sleep through the night. Auto recover from fatigue)
2. Gamble. (play or gamble game of chance with other pirates)
3. Entertainment (make a perform check for the crew to entertain them)
4. Influence (per daytime)
5. Sneak (take 20 checking an area out but MUST take chance of discovery)

Seadreamer Stonebeard |

I apologize for not being on. But I got hit hard by the flu.
I will be catching up today, and will be back to posting tomorrow.

Seadreamer Stonebeard |

As for signals, I am thinking something non permanent, but also unobtrusive.
This way, The officers are not able to chase down the all of the intended mutineers at once by observing who is being talked to and is talking.
Also, if we have a meeting, we can get better organized, and have people play to their strengths as well as their locations.
eg. Destinie chats up the Quartermaster, and tries to get our stuff back over time, and such.
Thoughts ??

Destinie Nicholae |

Des can chat up with the Quartermaster whenever she's free to do so. With how well we're getting the non-hostiles on our side, she can even do that for her night action.
I think hand signals would be best for us.

Seadreamer Stonebeard |

Well, just spent the last 2 days digging out from a blizzard that buried our vehicles. :(
Give me a bit of time to get caught up and posting.
