Sorry guys, but I think I just have to drop out of this game. I haven't been able to keep up with what's going on for a while now and I think the group would be better suited with a player who will be able to participate in the story.

Yeah, I don't really know what to do with Doc right now. I got lost in the past month when I didn't have time to keep up with what's happening.
Sorry, let this one slip away for a while. I'll try to catch up. ->I think you may be confusing Rahadoum with Razmiran. Rahadoum is an atheist country that has outlawed religion in favor of the Laws of Man. Razmiran worships the Living God (Razmir) who is really just an arcane caster posing as a god and duping people into giving him money.
Doc nods in agreement. "It's not ideal, but we've gotta do what needs to be done. Can't go on waiting for them to kill us."
Doc is still here. I posted earlier this week; I've just got a lot of games going on right now and with how slow this one is moving it's not always my top priority to keep up with every day.
Doc continues to keep quiet while performing his new duties, although he is too tired at night to even play with his alchemical toys. "Aye," he says as he yawns in his bunk, "I'm gettin' mighty tired of Scourge."
Doc has been noticeably quiet through all the changes, mulling over the new power dynamic among the skeleton crew. Although with a smaller crew, perhaps it will be easier for us to gain an advantage over Plugg once and for all. Mutiny's not a swear word as far as I can remember.
He's in a couple games with me and has disappeared as well. He mentioned in one thread that he might be going camping with his wife for a week but that was several weeks ago. I've sent him PMs to check up and he hasn't responded. --- Also, can someone please give me a recap of what has happened in the past few weeks? I got really lost and confused in that last scene and I'm not really sure what's going on at the moment.
Not sure how else he can help, Doc throws a dagger into the mix.
Doc draws another dagger and takes a defensive stance.
Doc chases after Reijo and throws a dagger at one of them.
Doc rushes about helping to heal wounds of anyone who has gotten.
Doc moves in and tosses another bomb into the mix, making sure to minimize the splash on his companions.
Doc pulls out a vial and throws in one last component before tossing it over at the Rahadoumi soldiers!
Doc gulps down his mutagen for the day to increase his speed and then grabs a grappling hook and readies to toss once the ships get close.
Failing that, he'll pull the book back and try again:
And again:
He'll pull out another vial from his belt and suddenly grow gills on his neck and webbing in his hands.
Doc listens to the stories with interest. "Do we know of any creatures capable of this? Maybe we need to come up with signals, passphrases, or the like-just to make sure we are speaking to each other and not the impostor."
Doc keeps quiet and waits to see what this is all about.
Doc nods silently at his companions as everyone converges.
Doc looks a little disturbed at first as he hears the true recipe but recovers when he catches on to the message. He's still a little wary of No-Eyes' cooking though.
Doc takes off his shirt and begins to wring it out. "Nice 'nough. Just glad my new concoction worked. No sharks. Don't think I'd be back if there were sharks, would I?" Suddenly Doc's pocket starts moving and he reaches in and pulls out a small wriggling fish. He holds it up by the tail and examines it for a few seconds before flicking it in Reijo's direction. "Well, where we be off to, eh?"
"Pft! Bah!" Doc climbs back aboard, drenched, sputtering and spitting out sea water. "What?" He hops around, trying to shake water out of his ear. "Yeah, that'll be fine. Just put 'em to work like the rest of us. 'Course, we should think about hittin' port and picking up supplies if we've got more mouths to feed." I could use some more reagents too.
Doc is swimming for the other boat.
After handing the rope off to others, Doc pulls a small vial from his belt. As the others board their ship, he looks to No-Eyes nearby and says, "Bottoms up! I'll see you on the other side." He then quaffs the liquid (Touch of the Sea) and leaps overboard.
Doc hears the call just as he finishes up with his concoctions for the morning. He immediately downs one of them (dex mutagen) and runs up above, grabbing a grappling hook and rope along the way. "Here we go! Like threading a needle, eh Bellamy?"
Doc tosses the grappling hook across to the other ship and yells at several others to grab ahold of the rope and pull.
Yeah, sorry. It's been a really busy week in the lab and most of my time has been devoted to keeping up with my own games, I haven't really looked in to the candidates much. But both of them look good to me I suppose. I'm excited to meet them (in character) and move on to the next phase!
I honestly haven't had time to really give them a good look over. But I'll try to soon. If you guys make a decision before I make input I'm sure you'll choose wisely though.
The next morning Doc gets up early to prepare his extracts and mutagen and mulls over how to find the mysterious drug aboard the ship.

--- Doc takes the beating without complaint. Afterwards, out of sight of others, he quaffs a few extracts to heal himself.
I was hoping for PFS credit, yeah. The original GM said he would be handing it out to those of us who wanted it. If it's not a problem for you, that is. Tektite (I think some of you know him) said he was going to submit a character and wanted in. I've known him (via PbP and cons) for over a year and he's a reliable poster. I'm putting my vote in for him joining the crew. Some new life might help pick up the pace a little too and make a nice little mix-up in the story.
Doc continues to sit and chat with Longfarthing for a bit before heading back to his bunk, thinking of a way to get ahold of the goods he needs.
Assuming the tea is safe, Doc takes a sip. "Remarkable." He waits for Longfarthing to begin. Doc listens to the predicament with a grin. "Thank you fer the compliments. Can't say my 'magic' as you call it is all that great; it's just a little something I've been experimenting with on the side. But I'm not going to deny that I've got an interest in such things. Now, I'm going to do this anyways because I've got a general interest in these things but generally in these situations someone like you would be offerin' a reward if I happen to find it. A future favor would do. Just as long as you understand my meaning when I say I'll do the job."
Doc nods silently to Peppery Longfarthing. --- During the second watch Doc makes his way down to the stores and casually keeps watch for his meeting.
Before the reefclaw is discarded, Doc challenges everyone to a modified version of the popular Hog Lob game, using the reefclaw corpse in place of a pig. -Hog Lob:
Participants lob a lead ingot covered in a greased piglet skin, the “hog,” as far across the deck as possible. This game is resolved by d20 checks between any number of players, who agree on a bet beforehand. The hog counts as an improvised weapon, imposing a –4 penalty on all rolls using it unless the thrower has the Throw Anything feat. Checks are resolved as attack rolls using the character’s CMB. Characters toss the hog a number of feet equal to their adjusted rolls; for example, a character who gets a result of 22 throws the hog 22 feet. Some pirates claim to have participated in games played against Asmodeus using a live hog.
Doc, however, slips and only manages to throw the reefclaw 3 feet. :(
Doc jumps in a rowboat with some others to go after the reefclaws but not before grabbing some random bits of wood and junk to throw at them.
Doc hurls his rock at the reefclaw before pulling a dagger.
Doc grabs a rock and gets ready to throw it at them as soon as they show themselves.
That morning Doc prepares his mutagen and extracts like normal (including an extract of Touch of the Sea. He takes his time getting out to the reef and, once there, takes his extract
It takes Doc a moment to notice the crabs but after a moment he is quick to dive down and grab four juicy crabs.
Traveling! I'll be able to update tomorrow night hopefully.
Day 9 Doc rises early in the morning and tinkers about with his small portable lab, mixing up a few extracts which he keeps hidden under his belt as well as a new concoction he's hoping will help him make new friends tonight
That day he keeps his head down and focuses on fixing up the ship.
At night he quaffs his cognatogen and sits down with Conchobhar to chat. "Phew, glad the storm has passed. Could have been a lot worse than it was, but everyone survived and that's always a positive."
--- Day 10 Doc once again rises early and prepares the same extracts, although this time he focuses on a mutagen that will enhance his dexterity. He takes the mutagen during the day to help him with his repair duties.
That night Doc sits down with Peppery Longfarthing and comments, "You're friends with the captain, yeah? He handled the storm well enough. Some captains would've lost control of the ship or lost a few men but he certainly pulled through. 'Course, I'm sure your sailing expertise had quite the effect."
"Who? What?" Doc didn't see anything but nonetheless runs over to grab the other end of the rope, calling out, "I'll need some help here!"
Doc is not taking the harsh conditions too well.
Aye. Doc is not doing too well at this making friends and finding clues business.
"Well I'm not sure why Rosie told me to stick a dagger in him then if the Stitchman was truly being helpful." "Terry, I've been denying my vows to Cayden Cailean and drinking very little since we've been on this ship. I can stay sober and make sure nothing happens." "As for Shivikah's assumption: it wasn't my intention but it may be thrust upon us before too long. Let's keep feeling out the situation and gain a few more allies first. Or at least figure out who our ally is and who isn't." --- Night 6 That night, Doc decides to visit with Shivikah. "Well met. So where did you get this idea that we're taking over the ship? Is this your idea or are others passing it around? Either way, I need you to stop spreading that rumor. The best way for you to keep out of it is not to mention it."
--- Night 7 Doc will approach Rosie with a smile. "Stick a dagger in 'em, eh? And who might you be wantin' a dagger in, my dear? And who else holds similar sentiments?"
gm:
Doc responds to the Stitchman, "Hopefully I won't be needin' them too often. I only heal up the people I like and we seem to be handling ourselves just fine."
--- Doc grins at Rosie's comments. He simply responds, "No mess. Sounds like a plan. If you were me, where would go and when? To do it quietly, you know?" --- Doc ignores Cog's intimidation scheme. That night Doc sits down with his new companions and shares, "The ship's doctor-the other doctor, I mean, Habbly "the Stitchman" Quarne-told me to purchase a healing kit. Of course I already have my own supplies so I'm not sure if his angle was an intimidation racket or if he was genuinely being helpful. Rosie, of course, still seems like to like us. She implied I should just stick a dagger in him. Cog still seems to hate us."
All leveled up and ready to go. Profile updated and heading info updated. The new Magical Marketplace book has a new discovery called Healing Bomb that essentially allows you to throw infused curative extracts at allies to heal them. I'll have to look into that. For now I wanted to take Cognatogen and I will need to get Precise Bombs first for everyone's benefit as well. But that might be a fun one eventually. Just chuck potions at you guys to heal you, haha. @GM: For now though, what's our living situation? It sounds like we sort of have our own room? If I can do it privately so that no one else sees, every morning I will make three cure light wounds extracts and give one each to No-Eyes, Reijo, and Jack. Thanks to my Infused Curative ability from being a Chirurgeon, cure extracts are automatically treated as infused extracts so they can use them.
