Hey guys,

The Paizo folks won't deactivate this game without you guys agreeing to it. Please ask them to deactivate this game here in the Discussion thread.

Thanks!

I'm going to contact Paizo and ask them to deactivate this game, unless you guys mind.

Hopefully a kraken hasn't claimed him.

Well played, Jezanna, ‘ecrocodilating’ cracked me up.

While his shanty didn’t garner the enthusiasm he hoped for, the little goblin’s spirit is undaunted. He soaks in the ‘piratical ambience’ with glee. Even the drunkard passed out on a table is magical to him.

But the crocodile, oh the crocodile, takes his piratamometer to the top! His shark-toothed grin is improbably wider than his over-sized head. It only flags when the croc is forced to leave. Eli debates speaking with the flame-haired woman… he chooses to finish a pint of grog to pluck up his courage.

OK... those are fun videos!

Given your primary curse... I might go with something like:

Jezanna of the Deep

or riffing off one of Izzy's suggestion

Jezanna of the Deep - the Murdermaiden (if you want a real piratey rep)

I like Thrice-Born... it looks like a hyphenated last name, like you are a child of the Thrice and Born families.

Yarrr…. Ready to sail upon the seas of Fate, Cap’n!

Overkill DOT

Striding into the Formidably Maid is 3' of unconventional gobbo pirate. Red eyes stand out against the green skin of this pantaloon-wearing, miniature corsair. One shoulder is heavily laden with a waterproof sea-bag with the end of an unstrung bow peeking out of it. Slung rakishly across his chest is an oversized bandolier. Tied to the bandolier at shoulder height is a human-sized axe whose butt-end scrapes across the floorboards. Completing the pirate look, Eli wears a large, salt-sprayed, leather tricorn hat. He whips the hat off in a debonair fashion for a passing trollop who he mistakes for a lady of high standing. Covering his skull (also at a rakish angle) is a 'pirate necessity' - a red silk bandana. Unfortunately, Eli doesn't realise what most of the people in the room do, that his bandana is actually a pair of women's panties.

The goblin’s red eyes take in the tavern’s sights and sounds with obvious delight. This was real piratey! His parents had insisted that first impressions were important… so Eli decides to establish his credibility as a corsair-with-sea-water-running-through-his-veins by grabbing a flagon of grog and bursting into a sea shanty he’s taken pains to memorize. Mind you, he was still trying to decipher the meaning of the fourth stanza.

Hey HO! Ohhhhh, I’m a flinty sea-dog…

Cuz I’m a FLINTY sea-dog – Hey Ho!
Cuz I’m a flinty SEA-DOG – Hey Ho!
Cuz I’m a flinty sea-dog – HEY HO!

The little goblin delivers an absolute tour-de-force of horrendous, off-key, and piss-poor singing.

Perform (Sing – Sea Shanty): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

I can't wait for this game to begin!

I’m gonna go with a cross of Cap’n Jack Sparrow, Captain Morgan (the rum guy), and Mr. Cotton’s parrot. ;p

Jk!

Eli signing in... and my character sheet is totally updated.

"Avast! Where be the grogged wrenches... wenches?!?"

Benevolent GM Skill Pt Bonus: 1d4 ⇒ 4 Disco!

Outstanding! I'll rebuild Eli and let you know when he is ready. I take it we are rolling for cash again, yes?

1d6 ⇒ 6 x10 = 60GP I'm RICH! LOL

8O
That's quite a compliment! Thanks!

Hey Patrick, I am politely bowing out of consideration for this game. Thank you for considering me!

Cheers!
Eli

Nope, nope. You're right. I didn't throw in an interest post. I saw your game late and got so excited from your opening that I just started building. Ah, well, perhaps next time.

Cheers and have a great game!

Don’t be height shaming! :D

Sorry! Last minute entry... if I haven't missed the deadline. :(

His goals and backstory are on his character sheet. I think I have his figures correct for the Feat Tax rules. If I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me.

Cheers and thanks!

Enjoy the game, guys!

OK, Eli's crunch is pretty much done. I just need to clean his sheet up a bit more. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to add/change.

Thanks!

HPs: 3d10 ⇒ (10, 6, 9) = 25 nice!

Cool! I'll update and submit him.

Oh, DM, how do you feel about a naive, human-raised gobbo with dreams of becoming a salty sea-dog?

Obviously, I'd have to change his stats and level him up... but you can see where I'm going with his backstory, etc. He was originally built for a good-aligned Skull and Shackles campaign. Let me know if he is just too far off the beam for you.

Stats Roll
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 3) - 2 = 12
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 5) - 4 = 16
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 6) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 4) - 4 = 15
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 6) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 4) - 2 = 14

Hi guys,

Sorry for the disappearing act. There have been a stack of changes at work: our group was re-org'd, got moved to a new department - which doubled our area of responsibilities, and we acquired a new Director with 'big ideas'. I went heads down to knock out some critical objectives hoping that I could come up for breath in just a couple weeks *hollow laugh*. Unfortunately, more stuff keeps getting tossed on my plate faster than I can clear projects. At this point, I'm going to be working like crazy until some time in May - at a guess.

So, I'm going to have to drop out of every game for the foreseeable future. If you've already replaced my character or dropped me... that is totally fine and I apologize for the inconvenience and for not digging myself out of this work pile earlier to let you know my situation. If you've been generous enough to NPC my character in my absence - thank you for keeping the faith and I'm doubly sorry that I can't come back to pick up where I left off. You have every right to berate me, so feel free to scourge me via PM. I won't put up a fight, I've earned it.

Again, I'm quite sorry for leaving you all in the lurch and I'll hope to play with you good folks again at some point in the future.

Thanks,
~sr

Eli liked Crimson's saltiness, so he doesn't hesitate when Plugg guts the pirate. He takes careful aim and tries to bury two arrows up to their fletching in the blackguard's chest.

~ Round 6 ~
FULL: FOB: Arrows (@ Plugg)

Sorry for the absence. I was traveling over the holidays and my laptop chose that time to crap out. I've got things sorted now and rebuilt my character cheat-sheets. I'll try to catch up quickly and post in the next day. Sorry again.

Eli sends an arrow at Scourge then scrambles to the front of the boat, laying out a boarding plan.

"When we hit the ship, I'll go up first to get us a foothold. Crimson, you and Garvaen stay near the back of the boat and shoot anyone comin' at me. Then we bring everyone up as quick as we can."

~ Round 3 ~
STAND: Arrows (@ Scourge)
MOVE: front of boat

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Astein, you don't happen to have another Mage Armor ready, do you? I could use a little extra protection for this next bit.

Eli smiles his thanks at the healer, then licks the head of an arrow and takes careful aim - attempting to plug Plugg. He quickly follows his first well placed shot with a second.

~ Round 2 ~
FULL: FOB Arrows (Perfect Strike on 1st)

Eli touches his bloody ear, smiles, and yells over the water "Japes, you poxy bastid, I'm gonna eat you alive... starting at your balls! The rest of you lot... if ya side with us, you get an equal share. Or stand aside and we'll put you off at a friendly port. But if ya side with these black-hearted bastards - I'm gonna eat well."

The little gobbo doesn't hold out much hope anyone will have a change of heart, but maybe a few of them will hesitate.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Sorry for vanishing and not giving notice. My ISP turned the bandwidth spigot down to 'pathetic trickle' and it made it nearly impossible to access Paizo.

It looks like my ISP is starting to fix the problem so I'll try to catch up with the game this evening. Feel free to bot me if needed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sandara smiles an odd smile at the odd goblin, and lays a hand on his head, calling out for Besmara's aid.

"Thanks, Miss Sandara." He says with relief and his wounds are healed. He notes the odd look on her face and answered the unasked question. "I'm like a cursed coin... I always turn up."

I'm down 11 HP right now, if more healing is available.

The little goblin says, "Now that the treasure is packed, let's get out of here... Best be careful in case any more of these fish-dwarves are still lurking in the passages."

Eli will scout the way out just in case there are more Grindylows.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Since we've lost the dwarf, are we going to re-distribute the Ring of Swimming he had?

Guys, I'm going to be mostly offline Saturday through Monday. Please bot me as needed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I know the desire for XP and treasure is great but - just throwing this out there - should we consider retreating now that we've rescued the NPCs? I'm happy to carry on with the battle if you guys want, just pointing out the option.

Eli sets more arrows streaking towards the hide of the Queen.

~ Round 6 ~
FULL: FOB Arrows (1 with Perfect Strike)

Swim vs DC10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Success - no effect on Arrow Attack

"Bring her down!" Eli again tries his best to drop the Queen with a skillful set of shots.

~ Round 5 ~
FULL: FOB Arrows (1 with Perfect Strike)

Swim vs DC10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Success - no effect on Arrow Attack

Hi, I'm back. Still trying to catch up on work emails but I should be able to post more regularly. If I recall correctly, we had a Ring of Swimming allocated to the dwarf. Since he's gone, can we allocate that to someone else? I'm willing to volunteer. :)

Eli takes careful aim and sends two arrows toward the hideous Queen.

~ Round 4 ~
FULL: FOB Arrows (1 with Perfect Strike)

Swim vs DC10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Success - no effect on Arrow Attack

Eli whispers back, "I just want to see what's around the corner before we decide on which tunnel or tunnels to take."

Eli swims forward to peek around a blind turn in the cave.

With a nod Eli presses on into the unexplored tunnel, pulling himself along the walls as quietly as possible.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Thanks!

Hey folks,
I'm going to be traveling on vacation from this Wednesday through 10-Oct. I'll try to check in and toss in some small posts but it may not be realistically possible. Feel free to 'bot or sideline my character as seems appropriate. Thanks!

Eli swims down to the grate and wriggles underneath it, attempting to lift it with his wiry back.

STR Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

I'm not sure exactly who is getting smashed but assuming it is me...

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Not sure if you can stealth swim, but I'll give it a shot.

The little goblin swims slowly, trying to splash as little as possible as he proceeds into the unknown tunnel.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Thanks but I already used my CMW potion which nearly topped me up. If Shathira lets us know if we got any extra back due to sleep, we'll be all set.

Eli shrugs and downs his one healing potion. "Let's get to it then." He starts swimming cautiously up the tunnel, looking for trouble.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11
Swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Seemed to me the general opinion was to withdraw. How about leaving the tunnels and moving north along the coastline til we come to a defensible bit?

I'm willing to push on but I'm at 5 HP and Shathira did mention we are low on resources in the OOC - possibly a kindly DM hint. I'd rather not get one shotted by a charging Grindy so do we have any renewable healing or do I need to use my CMW potion?

A healer sort would be a good addition, I think.
