Will we still resume?

Best wishes & a happy new year!
Figuring nothing he'll say will likely come across creditworthy, Edward quietly talks to his compatriots. "It was worth a shot. So, we go to the old 'if words fail, make them feel it' ?" Edward summons a mandoline that bears some slightly different sounds from a regular one, and starts playing the first few notes of a melody.
The problem with that, is that anything i'd currently try to bluff, will take a -20 penalty if it is unlikely, on account of that high sense motive result. Which could be pretty much everything i'd come up with.
I'll always welcome any bluff assists. :P
Damn. Best of wishes to you and your mom.
I am unsure of what to (believeably) lie about to captain McSleazebag. If the aid others are not factored in retroactively, i will take a -20 on any unlikely lie. Suggestions?
I don't suppose any aid other rolls, and a guidance spell, could retroactively make the original bluff work? I was aware of the penalties, and was sort of hoping the others would boost it. It would beat his sense motive by 1 if so. :3
"Hold on a minute, captain! This is outrageous. He-, and Edward points to the shadiest/sleaziest looking crew member of the other ship, was paid a sum of 500 gold back in port, and in return he would make sure we were excluded from paying toll. Or am i to understand that he has kept all the money for himself, and not split it as upfront payment to you and your crew?" "-i will talk to my captain, it shouldn't be too difficult to do-, were his words, i recall." Edward assumes a pose of a man whose pride has been hurt. He hoped, likely in vain, that sowing discord in the ranks would give the team an edge when it came to starting the fight.
Realizing the creature is a mephit, Edward quietly tells this to Isaac.
Edward will use his 1 a/day loremaster to take 20, for result of 24 in whatever knowledge is needed.
"Heck no." Edward, not quite standing at the railing of the ship, looks over towards Diana. [Message]"Looks like we get unwanted playtime after all."
, Edward tries to get a read on the other captain.
I'm willing to continue.
Dr Finch glances wryly at Edwards, "I think I dodged a cannonball there, eh? Looking at his lover walking off, then back at Finch, he slightly nods. "I would say so, yes. You're lucky i spoke with her first.
Edward knew his words were a poor choice, though they left him before he had a better way of asking, even though the response confirmed what could be guessed. Edward looks sideways at Isaac and the doc.
Edward fills her in on the conversation about the corpse tracking ring conversation.
I can see your point. I agree, that deliberately brainwashing enemies into your loyal followers, as often as possible, isn't too nice. So far, Edward's been more supportive and a romantic. I admit, he has done 2 less morally savvy acts, but under his belief that by doing so, he was protecting his friends from further and future harm. (Sorry Caulky, for making you believe a devil is after your soul :P ) Though i don't see Edward wiping memory drives left and right, but saving it for dire circumstances only. And who knows, maybe by then it won't be as important to have. Modify memory is a fun one though, for bypassing social obstacles.
Edward can't help but clearly hear this, and he strolls over towards his sweetheart. "Hello beautiful. Something is bothering you about that new doctor?"
Say, Isaac, i was browsing spells for when (if?) we hit lvl 10, since lvl 4 spells get on pretty late for bards. So if we'd be in need of reinforcements, and are fighting goons/mooks,
She replied with: 'sure'. So maybe a PM from Spaz completes the magic trick. ;)
I've sent Jaina and Gareth a pm to ask if they'd like to continue. Now to see if it yields any fruit.
That is 3 out of 5. Any word from Gareth and Jaina?
Still dodging Covid bullet so far. Good to hear of your recovery. I'm willing to continue, but we'll have to see if the other two want to first.
I'm not pressing, don't get me wrong, just with no posts across the board, i'm not expecting a return very soon. :/
Hey, hope everyone's doing ok. I've got the slight feeling Spaz isn't coming back for a while. What are your thoughts on trying to bait a new GM?
I'm hoping Spazmodeus isn't suffering a strong aftermath, it's almost been a month.
Yikes. Take care first and foremost.
Been 00:00 here. Happy new year!
Merry xmas & happy holidays everyone.
"It's not turned into a magical wand, for raising ships, has it?" Edward says quasi joking, but also curious.
Still present.
"Turning into wolves?
Edward shakes his head.
We skip it entirely, problem solved. Yes, we stick together. Bad things are bound to happen if we split up, is my impression.
Earlier, Edward tells Sandara about what he's heard about such daggers. Current time:
With Sandara:
If this thing is rare, Edward digs through tales, rumors and stories he might have heard, in relation to such a dagger.
"If that is so, Isaac, maybe his name would be Rickey-ching.", Edward adds with a faint smile.
Yer supposed to be grabbing me somewhere else, Mr. Irmington," He takes her by the shoulder to steal a kiss before answering. "Correcting the first issue, then.
Uh oh. Hopefully i haven't obtained some infamous piece here.
*turns on relaxing ocean tune on for Spaz*
Edward is pleasantly surprised at not a discount, but a free gift even. "Much appreciated, shopkeep. I'm certain the one i get this for will equally so. Fortune to you with your business.", and he leaves. Once back at the ship, Edward heads up to Sandara, and from behind covers her eyes with his hands.
"I figured something practical might be to your liking." Later at the matter of renaming the ship.
Edward will hit the taverns to spread more word of the crew's accomplishments, and boasting for the crowd to come see the giant sea serpent skull turned into a trophy.
Thereafter, he goes to browse curiosity shops, looking for an oddity Sandara might like.
So you got a promotion? In which case congrats.
Edward is enjoying the special dinner. "Compliments to the meal, Mr. Kroop. I hadn't eaten sea serpent before, but this is very good indeed."
"May the next thing we sail into not be another huge thing able to wreck a ship, eh?", he says with a grin. Edward goes about easing the nerves of the crew. This was no little encounter.
Cast Cacophonous call instead, same DC vs 7 rounds of nauseated condition.
Shameless advertising alert, will arrange for snacks & drinks at The Shrike after we kill the sea snake: If anyone has ever played the Might & Magic franchise, by New World Computing, i am going to run a campaign within that setting.
Have you tried multiple refresh of the page? Often fixes it after 3.
Edward casts Pugwampi's Grace on the serpent, will save DC 18 vs 7 rounds of misfortune.
