@Dreamer - Harrigan is the one who's getting snuck up on, not Plugg, just in case you wanna edit that

The rules are a little unclear about whether commanding the summoned creature to do something takes an action. I did a lot of searching. It seems like telling it to do something simple can count as a free action, so I did that and went with a shot with magic missile.

IF that isn't accurate, then obviously we can retcon the magic missile.

Plugg and Harrigan are together on the map.

Figured the warning to one, would let the other know as well.

Well, hopefully distracting the wrong person in battle with a warning won't mess things up and get us into trouble. ;)

_I_ wasn't going to warn him!

In our best interests if he goes down.

Justed edited it to include the capn now.

I didn't really want to either.

Yeah, Atia wouldn't have either - I doubt the sailor would do any real lasting damage to Harrigan, but... it's his problem if he can't watch his own back :P

One of those, lets save him for ourselves when we have the change of management party. :)

You know Des wouldn't.

--------

Question: When does Concentration checks for spellcasting come up commonly?

@Lanni: When you take damage. If you don't make it, you lose the spell.

And thus falls Allende. :sigh:

Ah well, most of my friends are already dead anyway.

-----

So most commonly just from Attack of Opportunity when casting in melee? Or grappled, probably.

There is an entire table, but I'm not sure which of them actually come up often in actual play.

The reason I ask is because the DC for concentration checks when casting Psychic spells is increased by 10 unless I spend a move action to remove that penalty.

Also, you're on a boat, so really stormy weather and a heaving deck.

I've never had the chance to play a psychic, so I have no idea on how they work.

And of course Gnome Medium is more complicated than most.

I have the Psychic spells from Medium list directly, which are cast using Psychic Spellcasting so they don't have armor failure chance, but can't be cast while frightened and they have a higher Concentration check.

But I also have Gnome innate spells and can sometimes poach a few spells from either the Cleric list or the Wizard list - and those ones are cast normally.

So most commonly just from Attack of Opportunity when casting in melee? Or grappled, probably.

I would say "yes" to this. Most commonly for sure.

But yeah, that's a big list for sure.

On the road for a ballgame, working completely off my phone. Can't really see the map.

@Fern: Did you account for Joran's attack vs. the officer? It was a crit. Maybe I missed due to the fog? I'm not really sure.

If my miss chance wasn't an issue, and it has do with this guy needing to survive, then that's cool with me. Just trying to figure it out.

Ack! Nope, totally forgot about it when tallying things. He dead.

I'll fix it on roll20 later when I'm not on my phone, my bad!

No, no worries! All good.

Well, since the officer's dead, we can say Atia talked surrender to the guy standing next to him, lmao.

To clarify from Lanni's post, the ships are remaining lashed together for the next day and a half while supplies are offloaded from the Promise to the Wormwood, during which time you don't have to do any of your normal duties. The officers handle moving the loot, not trusting you all with it. So you're free to do as you like (the equivalent of 5 ship actions, in terms of mechanics -- diplomacy-ing folks, sneaking around, stealing, shopping, whatever).

The following morning, Plugg will select a skeleton crew to take the Promise somewhere to be squibbed (which seasoned sailors know means being refurbished so as to be unrecognizable, basically changing the ship's identity), while the rest remain on the Wormwood.

Yay! Two days of healing Con damage without stacking more on to it!

Also, to clarify. This applies to the newcomers too, yes?

Scourge's bullies that are red are now beyond diplomacy. Anyone not red can still be influenced. Dreamer alone can attempt to influence officers, and that influence will only apply to him.

And that is all of the red=hostile characters listed in the crew slides, not just the ones that have been actively aggressive towards the players previously.

The perma-red ones are Fipps, Jape, Aretta, Tam, and Maheem. And probably Syl, lacking in some crazy RP creativity, lol -- She's crazy so ya never know, but dice rolls alone won't cut it.

I'm filling the the names that were still blank, by now they'd have come up in passing at least, for the ease of referencing them.

And yes, to newcomers as well, since you'll be associating with the party.

Syl is a wildcard and part of me hopes we can turn her into our crazy lady.

...She hadn't had the displeasure of killing any of the shoulders, but she didn't have the stomach to observe Harrigan or Syl's displays of wanton violence. ...

The shoulders of many sailors are thankful for Des not killing them. ;) Sometimes you make the weirdest typos.

At least it wasn't wonton (one ton) violence.
That would be awful heavy to deal with. :)

I mean, I could go for one ton of wontons, to be honest.

Phone autocorrect strikes again.

If someone could be kind enough to link the ship actions we can take? I'll get them up and started for Mateo here <3

We're using the rules kinda fast and loose, but the listed ones in the book are to:

-Influence an NPC with a diplomacy check
-Sneak somewhere on the ship you're not supposed to be
-Shop at the quartermaster's store
-Gamble
-Entertain folks with performance
-steal things from crew's lockers or other places

Anything along those lines =)

I'll need a call from our illustrious DM if I'm giving up any of those actions for holding the training classes.

I think it is a good trade, if so, so I'm not going to be upset AT ALL. I just want to make sure I don't run rampant.

I would say each "session" would be an action. So depends on how hard you're drilling them =)

My thought is that he was trying to get sailors trained in the basics.
(AKA warriors)

Didn't realize that he was trying to train marines. :)

My hope was also that he would train top-men as they are always needed onboard.

Des, I asked that you hold them, we can find them proper homes on characters when we get over to the promise.

Atia's going to get back to the galley after Lanni returns the ladle and wonder why it wasn't where she left it earlier. ;P

Sounds like Dreamer should say something in character...if he's not too busy doing officer things. ;) When the "boss" is away, the mice will play.

It's fine. That can be discusses off screen. Now, who's ready to get drunk and party?!

Also... holy crap @ that nat 20! I didn't think it would happen,but Mateo's working miracles.

Mateo is my new favorite. Sorry, Joran. <3 :P

I hate Mateo.

Sometimes the dice work in your favor for the story. I adore terrible decisions.

I love you all. Even you, oaf. <3

I hate Mateo.

I can't stop laughing

You know, I just cant get the videos to copy properly.

Otherwise I would be playing the theme of the old show the "LOVE BOAT"

Well, now we have to find Dreamer someone to keep him company. ;P

LOL!

Looking through narrowed eyes at the newcomer, an exremely slight grin of the slightest slightyness SOMEHOW manages to escape the big fella.

Here you go, 'Dreamer: The Love Boat

Well, now we have to find Dreamer someone to keep him company. ;P

If it happens in game, it happens. But I know I will not be making a pass at Syl. :)

The love boat was aimed more at Sandara and Destinie, along with Sharkbait and Atia.

Now I guess it is going to apply to Mateo and Syl ???

edit - Duplicate post deleted.

Mateo as he goes around meeting folks.

Now I guess it is going to apply to Mateo and Syl ???

By the gods, I sure hope so!
