GM Trevor's Skull & Shackles

Game Master Trevor0828

I will do a final audit of characters and let you know of any issues.

Dotted!

Dotted and deleted as well.

Gameplay question: Do we have our equipment?

I am on my Phone, so i will keep it short for now: yay, and thanks.

Thank you, Trevor.

Thank you for the invite!! I've been wanting to play this AP forever. I will have an avatar for Sebastion shortly.

Thanks for the invite Trevor! It's good to see some familiar faces :)

I think this game has a very impressive mix between 'Heavyweights' and 'Rising Stars'.

No pressure, but I have high hopes for this one! ;)

No pressure there at all....

Will get a post up soon.

Was that a fat joke? <evil grin>

Carth should be statted up and good to go.
I roughly remember him being missing in the beginning the last time around...*sigh*...another ship where this happens.

Why no sir!

I think I remember familiars and their ilk were kept separate somewhere on the ship.
I have not referenced such in gameplay but I believe I am able to feel Carths presence nearby? That is, the empathic link is active?
Right now she's still trying to figure out the situation she is in, so just knowing he is nearby will be sufficient, trying to find him can wait a bit.
But that is assuming he IS nearby. If the link is offline for whatever reason, she would likely not be as calm about the situation.

Another question: Obviously Hraak hasn't specifically prayed for any spells today, and won't have anything memorized. Does that affect domain abilities or channeling as well? (Probably not, but figured I'd check before it becomes an issue)

Being able to present your Holy Symbol might, though.

Hraak has a birthmark that acts as his holy symbol.

Hackz!

Hraak has a birthmark that works as his holy symbol... ;)

Man, I hope it's not on his bottom...

Does he have to... Ahem... 'Present' his birthmark? :P

* Hraak moons the Captain and all the Pirates * "Be healed!"

Actually it's on his neck. ;)

Are you CERTAIN?
Having it on your buttocks and using it as excuse to wear ass-free chaps would be such a power move...
"Why is he dressed like that"? - "Well, it's because of magic...the gods want it that way, and who's to argue with them?..."

* rethinking life choices *

Regarding spells:

Until he prepares spells from his spellbook, the only spells a wizard has available to cast are the ones that he already had prepared from the previous day and has not yet used. During the study period, he chooses which spells to prepare. If a wizard already has spells prepared (from the previous day) that he has not cast, she can abandon some or all of them to make room for new spells.

(I know witches differ in handling but Wizards are the prepared casting poster boys and get plastered all over the regular gamemastering rules)

Just checking if thats how you do things. Even without my familiar, I should be able to retain the 2 spells I had prepared from yesterday. CLW does not have material components, Color Spray can use colored sand as component. Which MAY be in supply on a ship...

(But it's really more about the former, in case someone falls from the rigging...)

Nivian, you have the one CLW still avaialable then.

Just a heads up, I'll be having surgery on Thursday (achilles tendon) and might be out of action on the internet for a couple of days.

Ouch, get better quick Hraak...

As many similar surgeries as my wife has had over the years . . ..

Don't rush healing.

Don't skip or short the PT exercises.

Use the leg as much as you can stand to.

Dude, with a +9 Profession (Sailor) YOU are the competent Rigger you are looking to find. Standard, mundane tasks in any profession are a DC 10, right? That you can never fail to achieve!

yeah, but his dream job is Helsman or Master-at-Arms...wants to lead the 'Vanguard'

Any 'Blacksails' fans will get that...

Hope you have a complete and swift recovery Hraak!

If Helgash survives as cook, I think my next two background skill points will go into Cooking and Alchemy. Fusion cuisine for this sophisticated bunch!

I had my achilles severed playing football many years ago, but I had no problems after the surdery and rehab. A few years ago I ruptured the other one. This time I had no surgery and let it heal on its own (wore a walking cam boot for four months). I have had no problems with it since then either.

Hoping for a similar result. I've already been doing physical therapy for two months, and while I've regained some mobility, it isn't getting any better. Thanks for the well wishes, folks!

For the details about crew etc. - that may be good stuff to put into the campaign tab for easy reference, for the time being. :)
Just saying.

Thanks, good idea

Hej, I would like to "sneak" to start searching for Carth. That would be Nivians first order of business before worrying about any other options.

Alas, you did mention that some areas are off limits or beyond our capabilities - but we have no idea what areas ARE available to us?
(Or if those "off limits" mean "totally off limits" like a captains quarter, or "temporarily off limits" as in we may be put to work in the some of those places but can not freely enter them as action.)?

I would probably try and find out if Carth is captured or hiding via Empathic Link(as he can hide in my clothing there's a chance he evaded notice while they carried me on board, but may have fled when they started taking all our stuff - albeit in that case he would likely have attempted to return so I'll assume captured, for now).

Which, for a snake, probably means a large and bound leather sack or something - as a cage is unlikely to hold it. In which case I wonder if the idea of activity/movement would cause him distress.
(Mental expectation: If he is left to his own devices, movement might help me notice him. If he is being watched, they may try to discourage such behaviour causing distress but may also help home in on where to search.)

(All that said, having a list of "options" or a ship overview would be helpful.)

I wasn't 100% sure if we should do it right away, but I went ahead and posted what I would expect Helgash's actions to be for the day and night.

A quick question for the jobs on the morrow, do you want us to post both a daytime ship anction and a nightime ship action at the same time? One of the daytime ship actions is to 'Work Diligently' Do we need to roll a 'work' roll for the Daytime? How many rolls should we be rolling on out post?

As soon as we finish the first half of the first day, I will set up how to do the jobs and actions.

I may have jumped the gun? :)

hmmmm, wasn't able to get on Paizo for a bit.

As the day wears on, you get a sense of how the rest of the crew views you.

I have updated the crew list with their attitudes towards you. You can use Diplomacy to gather information about crew members or Sense Motive when trying to influence them to get information that may help you influence them.

I didn't see the attitudes on the Campaign info page, Since Conchobhar Shortstone is new as well, Onnello will speak to him first, I'll get a post up in a bit.

I thought Helgash volunteered to cook and was going to the galley?

He did, I even posted for it…
I think Trevor has mixed up his half-orcs :P

* hands on hips * Oh, so we all look the SAME to you?! LOL

* hands on hips * Oh, so we all look the SAME to you?! LOL

Hey that's what you get for not having a 'description' in your character build. I got tired of referring to you both as 'the tattooed half orc'

Hey! Our avatars are different enough I’d say - one is clearly a savage, while the other is a sophisticated… Huh… Cook? For now…

True, I could have said "Hey, you, the half orc that doesn't shave everyday."

:)

We have 2 half-orcs? Totally eluded me. I figured it was the same guy in different light conditions. /s

No soup for you!

Yeah, just as I went to update the attitudes, I couldn't post. I am doing it now.
