Okay, with that I'm out. Everyone enjoy their week and I should be home by Saturday night.
Enjoy your vacation!
FYI, I'm out of town through Wednesday. My posting may be sporadic until then.
In broad strokes, if you want to bot me, Hei-wa will ask folks on the team to cover him with bows or whatnot as he drops down to the walkway below. I'm wondering if there is something nasty and gator-like in the water.
Blarg, sorry I didn't respond sooner.
Though honestly, your description was kinda exactly what Gerinel'd contribute...he can't swim! D:
Giving things a gentle poke to make sure they're still alive.
I'm still here!
Same here.
Sorry. Everyone. I'm waiting on Hei-wa to respond. If he doesn't post by tonight then I'll bot him and we will move on.
Sorry for the delay, guys. I was out of town and then got sick on my return. I'll post now.
Sorry to hear you got sick. Hope you're feeling better!
I'm getting better... thanks!
Even a ninja mask won't help against the COVID.
LOL! Fortunately, it isn't Covid - been there, done that... twice. Just a vicious cold that targets ninjas that dive into shark-infested sewer water.
I stayed later at work today than usual because my coworker wasn't feeling well and left early. And I'd been there since 5:30 AM already!
Glad to hear you're on the mend. I'm just getting over a major sinus thing from last weekend.
Tell me about it, G. The past three days have been crazy busy at work for me too. I leave my house around 5:30 in the morning and haven't been getting back home until 9:30-10 o'clock at night. I'll get a post up later this morning.
I swear Yelena will eventually be able to contribute something other than Evil Eyes to combat. It's just going to take a level or two.
Hei-wa goes to the hole in the floor and sticks his head through the opening and sees that a narrow space exists under the fishery, with about three feet of room between the floor of the eastern side of the building and the languid, foamy river water below.
Wooden pilings support the building, and thick mats of moss and cobwebs hang from ropes and rusted chains between them. A wooden walkway floats on the river’s surface, winding along the inner wall of pilings that supports the building’s frame above. The walkway leads from the sodden ship to the east all the way west to a small two-and-a-half-foot-square door that leads into an understructure below the fishery’s land-bound half.
Might want to climb out of the water and onto the walkway. From there, the shark might be susceptible to a ranged attack.
Regarding moving through the water. I'd say that it would be difficult terrain to move through (i.e. no 5' step, 10' movement through each square), then to climb onto the walkway would be a DC:15 Climb check (base 10+5 for being slippery).
I've decided to run Skull & Shackles as my next campaign. Same build rules as this AP (including 15+1d4 point buy). If you're interested, you all have a place reserved. I'll take five players beginning probably the week after the holiday. So let me know what you want to play and we can go from there.
Yo ho ho! Count me in! I'll try to get something set up before I leave for vacation next Tuesday. I'm going to Chicago!
I'm game as well. I'll work on a character sometime tonight or tomorrow. Any preference on character type? I'm fairly open when it comes to characters, as long as they have some flavor. Any input on what the group is wanting to make would be great.
I think I'm going to go a little against-the-grain in terms of concept: a character ADAPTING to the pirate lifestyle rather than starting out already piratically-inclined. Class-wise I'm thinking Arcanist, maybe human or half-elf, with the Ancient Historian campaign trait.

Love to... but the movement will draw an AoO which is a hit I can't afford at the moment. I'm going to give punching this beast one more go before I risk that.
I'm definitely still interested in Skull and Shackles. I'm thinking of building a storm druid; I've never played a druid before and this seems like a campaign where one could be very useful.
So fare, a little arcane and healing. Still could use a trapper and a front-line character. I'm considering creating a two-handed melee build. I might be able to work in trapper as a side gig. It works cleanly into a life of skullduggery.

Yo ho ho... Would you be open to a Goblin PC? I'm thinking of tweaking Eli here to meet your build parameters, if you are OK with a gobbo.

This is LITERALLY the thematically perfect AP to play a Storm Kindler in!

I've only known Eli for 7 hours and 11 minutes, but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this thread and then myself.
8O
That's quite a compliment! Thanks!
I have no problems with a Goblin PC. It would be interesting to see how you play him against the typical stereotypes.
Outstanding! I'll rebuild Eli and let you know when he is ready. I take it we are rolling for cash again, yes?
I've created a Campaign for the upcoming game. It can be found [u]Here[/u]. There's a Disscusion thread where everyone who wants to join can gather and discuss their build ideas before we launch and an introductory Gameplay post.
I'll likely begin as a trapper ranger.
How much time will we have to ready a character? I'm leaving on a trip to Chicago tomorrow and I'll be gone until Sunday...not only will I not really be able to assemble a proper sheet with only a phone to post from, but Gerinel will probably need to be botted as well.
I'm not thinking of starting anything until after the Holiday. We may need to run a recruitment if not everyone jumps over.
Sorry computer died over the weekend still working on getting one up and running.
I actually had a decent idea pop into my head I think for S&S, let me workshop it a bit today...
I am back from my Chicago trip and will begin catching up on posting this afternoon after work! Thank you for your patience.
Just want to wish everyone in the States a Happy 4th of July . To everyone else, Happy Tuesday!
Gah! I missed adding Trinity's Inspire bonus to my attacks and damage! I must now be flogged with wet noodles - preferably capellini.
One of the performers at the farmer's market today sang "Baby Shark." I immediately thought of Trinity :)
It has been determined that the song "Baby Shark" is form of cruel and unusual punishment.
What can I say but "Yikes!"?
In my defense, I thought the fact that it needed swim checks to reach the walkway meant it wouldn’t be able to take AOOs. Whoops.
Sory for the delay, I got hit with a large work distraction. I'll have a post up soon.
Whose turn is it atm?
I believe Gobbleguts. Can the GM confirm?
Everything alright? It's been a while, and I think we've all posted...
Hi I'm leaving for Pennsic in 2 days and won't be able to really have internet access. Cya when I'm back! :D
