Brvheart's Skull&Shackles

Game Master brvheart

"The bell!' Nico shouts, hints dropped by Manny & Kalban from half remembered dockside tales and barroom shanties finally clicking into place. "Break his damned bell!'

"Bastard rang it as he took his ship to its death. Breaking it will finish it!"

Giving Nico a grateful nod, the captain shouts, "I'll try to keep the zombies at bay! Someone else deal with the bell!"

Hearing the orders, Ci Ci calls down a bolt of lighting on it.

Call Lightning: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) = 7

I've got one more bolt if that didn't do the job.

Hearing the orders, Ci Ci calls down a bolt of lighting on it.

[dice=Call Lightning]3d6

I've got one more bolt if that didn't do the job.

You did some damage to it, but you don't think another bolt will be enough.

It's an object so it will have hardness. I don't have anything that will do enough damage to get through.

Goblins have heard heads, I can headbutt it!

It's an object so it will have hardness. I don't have anything that will do enough damage to get through.

hardness 9

Capricia hacks at a nearby zombie, wondering if her crew have dented the cursed bell yet...and if a precise blow from her falcata might damage the thing.

Capricia the Pirate falcata: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 for slashing damage plus 4 precision damage: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16 (17-20/x3)

The bell is barely dented so far. Yes, we are still in initiative.

Have Kaliban bash it!

Let's finish with the zombies...

Seeing that her lightning bolts aren't sufficiently damaging the bell, Ci Ci, sends her last bolt down on the zombie fighting Kaliban.

Call Lightning, Ref DC 16: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) = 12

Nico and Emma are up

crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
damage + PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Nico tries a shot at the bell, 'Break the fricking bell! The Zombies will keep coming back until it's gone!"

sorry the bell has a hardness of 9

Who all is going into the hold to get the plunder?

Not me

Reluctantly the entire crew will move the plunder over to your ship's hold.

No one going to try aid another besides Capricia?

I will

aide another: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Cast scorching ray at the bell

scorching ray, convert to electric
point to cl, cl7 : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

scorching ray: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

scorching ray: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 4) + 2 = 15

scorching ray: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 3) + 2 = 16

Fire and lightning spells do half damage vs objects. Counting 3 from the call lightning your total is now 18 pts of damage done.

One zombie attacks Capricia
cutlas: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

another Manny
cutlas: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

and the last attacks Kaliban
cutlas: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

confirm crit on Capricia: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 extra damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
confirm crit on Kaliban: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 extra damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

neither confirms

Kaliban
Cici
Nico

GM BRVHEART: Where is the Bell on the map? Can a token representing it be placed on the map?

Are there any weapons about that Kaliban can avail himself of? Is that even the correct grammar?! Was there some harpoon (think they are two-handed), or was that thrown?

Anyone got a weapon I can swing with two hands?! My fists won't do much to that thing!

Uhh.. I have a dagger and a goblin harpoon

Assuming the Bell is near the ship's wheel... Ci Ci moves toward the demonic Bell of the Deathknell.

Ci Ci cries out, "Feel the bite of Besmara's Blade!" as a rapier made of glowing force energy appears in the air beside her.

Casting hedging weapons.)

GM BRVHEART: Where is the Bell on the map? Can a token representing it be placed on the map?

Sure, ring my bell

Nico starts pounding out a tune on his drums, using Inspire courage to give the party +2 to hit/damage.

Inspired, Kaliban reached to pick up a blade dropped by the zombies.

Can Kaliban attack? He needs to activate (move action) Martial Flexibility.

Ci Ci grasps the hilt of the glowing blade of force and hurls it at the bell.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Force Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Inspired, Kaliban reached to pick up a blade dropped by the zombies.

Can Kaliban attack? He needs to activate (move action) Martial Flexibility.

He needs to use his standard for one of those move actions.

OK. Retrieve sword and activate Martial Flexibility.

Manny will try to roll over to flank the zombie south of Caprica and stab stab

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Dagger,Flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 171d3 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (1, 6, 5) = 17

With Manny dropping their flanked foe, Capricia gives the tenacious goblin a quick nod and grin and then scoots south to the rail, following it--out of range of any attacks from the remaining zombies--and climbing up the stairs to the deck, stopping when she's next to the allegedly cursed bell.

That double-move took up her whole turn; she'll take a hack at the bell next round. If anyone else wants to try to destroy the bell before then, feel free to go for it!
