Sorry, been a busy week, didn't see that the links were up until now. Coracle's sheet is ready, I've entered info on the slides, and I will introduce him when I have a bit more free time later today. No glyphs.

Coracle is pretty straightforward: A monk with Tiger Stance, and a sailor with the Pirate Dedication. He's good at physical skills and shredding things, but don't expect much from him if it requires brains. (And unlike most historical pirates and most cats, he's actually good at swimming and likes the water.)

N male (he/him) vishkanya magus 3 HP 38/38 | AC 20 | F +8 R +9 W +7 | Perc +5 | speed 25 ft | focus 1/1| Hero 0 | Active Conditions: |

Jig is a ranged magus with investigator dedication, so he's pretty good at Knowledge checks.

He also an aspiring mystery novelist.

Not a pirate, but chirrit can join you swimming in the water if needed grew up in the Puddles district - well below it more specifically, where that nickmname got quite literal.

He's a wit Swashbuckler, who will most often be hurling his hammer about while yelling (discouraging) things at the enemy and (encouraging) things at you

Likes to One For All to Aid a lot...which also goes swimmingly in a PbP format :p

According to the first few Discussion posts here, each of us should have 2 Hero Points, but Coracle was never given a second token on the Slides. But since I almost certainly (?) needed to reroll his attack just now, that slide should be correct now.


"Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Salt of the Ocean // ★ DA Duology Maps

Understood.

What does the Ship Shape condition do, BTW?

Oh darn. I missed it!

Ship Shape: The Snapdragon arrived at its destination in good time, letting the PCs prepare to leap quickly into action when needed. The PCs become quickened in the first round of Encounter A. They can use the extra action to draw an item or Stride.

Everyone can take these extra actions now if they like.

Eeep! I should have considered all this before bringing an elemental sorcerer with FIRE as his primary element!! :)

Do we have time to heal between Acts 1 & 2? Do we have a healer in the party? (In any case, everyone chose their Pathfinder provisions, yes?)

Coracle has the Underwater Marauder feat, so will not be off-guard underwater or take any attack penalty for B or S attacks. The skill bonus from the Pearl gives him +11 to Swim (master), so he's likely to stay in front. He also has a dragon turtle scale, if he needs to swim faster for a minute.

I don't have a preference for which mission to do, as long as we keep things moving along.


"Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Salt of the Ocean // ★ DA Duology Maps

Yes, you should have 20 minutes to heal.

Well, let's pick our first act at random so that I have time to set it up before going to bed tonight, and you all can pick our next event after that!

I am going to start us with one of the two skill missions.

Skill Mission Coin Flip: 1d2 ⇒ 2

We'll be heading to Mission 3: Pirate Parley!


"Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Salt of the Ocean // ★ DA Duology Maps

Hey all, why don't you pick your next mission, so that either Ilmakis or I can roll you into it when this one is finished?

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

Speaking of Ilmakis, he's okay, just underwater with some real life stuff. He'll be back soon, so I will be your GM for only a limited time.

Back to life! Sorry guys, kids, work and life was overwhelming and I wasn't able to do anything except work, sleep and take care of my kids...

Won't happen again.

We should probably compare some skills to see who's best suited for what tasks.

As I mentioned above, Coracle has Athletics +9 +(11 to Swim while the pearl is active), has the Underwater Marauder feat, and a dragon turtle scale in case he needs a swim speed.

His Perception is +5, and his Acrobatics is +9.

If nobody has any better ideas, Coracle would suggest coming as close to the west side of the surviving stern as the surf will allow (less debris/rocks there), climb aboard, and search that part first. (He sees the crow's nest and flag as the most obvious objective, until they discover more.) Then the more athletic members of the party can climb/jump/swim/etc. southward to the other pieces of the ship, while others continue searching the stern or move the jolly boat around to the bow.

Envoy's Alliance

Human Bard 3| HP 28/32| Fort +5 Ref +10 Will +8 | AC 20 | Perc +8 | Focus Pt 1/3| Hero Pt 1| Bard Spells 2/3 0/2

Keri has Acrobatics +8 and Perception +8, Athletics is lacking (even with +2 bump to swim)

Radiant Oath

Male Kobold Swashbuckler 4 - HP 50/50, AC 21 - Perception +8 - F +9/ R +12/ W +8 - Speed: 30 - Hero Points: 0/1

Chirrit's pretty Acrobatic (+12), modestly Athletic (+7, and can swim w/ swim speed) and...can notice things (Perc +8)

Jig's decently Acrobatic, but that's about it. I'd say we start at the stern of the boat, as it seems most likely to have cabins.

Re: later Act 3 missions.

Schek's suggestion (voting in order 3,2,5,4) actually sounds solid to Chirrit kobolds together strong!

Can't do much if your boat sinks, and the swashbuckler is less likely to have relevant mystic skills to tease out old memories from weird magic receptacles.
