A idea to use if the party wants to have a rest in the last dungeon, would be the use of the Fugitive's Grenade and just up the duration to 8 hours or most likely 9 hours if you have spell casters. A problem might come from that of the party getting or making more Fugitive's Grenade and using them for that in every situation. making it more expensive would make it less likely they would do so and would fit in the price formula of upping the duration.
level 4, partys witch, wizard, and bard
as the party was getting ready to to to the funeral boat the crab came out of the water and snapped one of the boats in half, part won initiative and crab only beat wizard, bard tried to make a friend by casting cure and touching it. witch hit it with a ranged spell for some damage, ninja moved around invisible to flank it. crab went and got a critical on witch adding constrict damage she died right then, then attacked bard and got a crit once more bard player was watching the die roll and said it was a crit. that attack took the bard to negative hp and grabbed. wizard took a withdraw action to get away. turn 2 ninja just stayed invisible as it had taken out two party members with one attack each. crab charged wizard and hit and killed him with normal damage, then crab kept up the grab on bard and did constrict and killed bard. ninja grabbed witch's body and hid till the crab left then used the seal to bring her back. ten mins latter part was back up with the help of a long running npc that just likes the party, using salve of second chances.
session 9
Party tried to open up the Central Processor room and that triggered a hallway fight, with the fighter putting himself in the way protecting all the other party members, the druid got rid of the small fries, while the gunslinger was picking the lock to Central Processor room. Kulgara got in some good hits and the fighter went down, but its victory did not last long as kulgara went down before they could act once more. After they use the salve of second chances and he rolled a male orc once more, and as it was near the full moon he rolled twice and got male orc once more.
For my group, they beat the first star ship fight, it was a learning curve for all of us. but after they decided to catch the Stiletto and i let them have land it in the cargo bay of the Hippocampus, looking at the rules it says that a star ship at 0 or less hp drifts at half its speed in a given direction, with the Stiletto being 12 speed as a base line, going to half making it 6 matching the speed of the Hippocampus. the party just boosted its speed to 8 and got in front of it and caught it. then i had clara pop up from the cockpit with her holographic clone already up. they took her down but left her alive. She was taken away by the guards i had in the armada that the party called and it took a half hour for them to show up. For other dms this could still play out with players catching the Stilletto, just being outside of the ship and a zero g fight.
session 8
one player stealth in and placed Cylex on HELSKARG chariot in the night. the next day they fought her and gunslinger and barbarian planned to have the gunslinger shoot and the barbarian detonate the charge making the gunslinger look more powerful. HELSKARG lived and the reincarnated druid ran in and cast Cheetah’s Sprint and then when in reach of the troll blew up. thus killing himself.
As the gm this is the first 7 sessions death 1
death 2
Death 3
death 4
death 5
death 6
Just under 1 death per session, only half of them are from me as the gm. They are all in character a family, druid grandpa, fighter grandson, tech slinger and barbarian are brothers and the druid is there great uncle, they call him gruncle. they are making use of Salve of the Second Chance and are having fun with the reincarnation table, so kid gloves are off. more then likely will have more latter.

just to start my notes.
the game thread, post here with an alias you named for one of the gobins that you picked to play.
to help things out the names and classes of the goblins are as follows mogmurch alchemist 1. likes to burn things poog of zarongel cleric 1. good at lighting things on fire. chuffy lickwound rogue 1, likes stabbing and setting things on fire reta bigbad fighter 1 likes tormenting small harmless animals. the characters and stats for them are in my profile, look and see which one you want to play, and just make an alias with one of those names and post in the game play thread when you want to play to start things off.
closed recruitment. making it for some friends to try play by post. when you three are ready make a post on this thread and we can go from there.
well sad news, we just lost our bard, making it now a party of three players. so i feel that i should call this game, it should not take too long to get into another game. i am sorry but that is how things go some times. i did have fun with this group, and i hope to see you guys in other games as time goes on. i might even try to dm latter, under my own terms and not someone elses. good luck and good gaming.
Lorelei goes down into the depths and takes out her weapon. havok goes down as well 6 small dog sized rats come out of the dirty water and attack 4 on havok 2 on ornotck
ornotcks attacks
rats will save
havok save
fen you can target the most rats by aiming at havok but he will also have to save. also i am trying to get rid of havok because he left the game. so it is not something i would like to do normally having the monsters going mostly after one person. fen because of your ready action you now go before the monsters round 1 over round 2 start
results from round 1, everyone is in the bilge, havok was attacked by 4 rats 2 of which were put to sleep before they could attack him by fen, havok is at 0 hp. ornotck was attacked by 2 rats one of them hit for little damage
If someone does not post in a weeks time, i will have to move the game along, if it is in combat, then i will try to have you take an action that you would likely do, or take a delay action if i am unsure what you might do. if in other times i will have you listen as the situation calls for it. i am not trying to be mean with any of this. i just wish to move the game along and have people have fun.
well seems we have lost havok, so i will be getting him off the party here shortly.
You are all brought down to the bilge and the trap door is tossed open, a dry heat comes out, very hot condition so saves will be needed if you are in there for more then an hour. plugg Hmm seems you got some gear, at least you wont die too fast down there. Now get in there and dont come out till everything that is a threat dies with that he walks away to go do his other duty's for the day. perception dc 26:
As you look down into the bilge you can see the forms of 6 large rats in the water. Initiative
where are you guys? have a fun weekend?
About ten minuets after you get your day job assignments, all of you on deck can make a perception check dc 10:
Jack
Scrimshaw rushes on to the deck, his face ashen. He talks with Mr Plugg and a group of large rats attacked him while he was cleaning the bilge. dc 15:
It seems like he has many bite marks on his skin and new tears in his cloths Plugg gathers each of you up, You are all my "Volunteers" to go and look in the bilge, You have ten minuets to get down there and gather any thing you might need. Don't come back up unless everything down there is dead.....What are you waiting for move He moves his hand to his belt for a whip. You can use this time to gather your gear, go shopping to buy/rent gear from grok, and no this will not count as your day action.
Day actions resolved complet fen:
With Maya's help you manage to get a fair sized turtle for eating. Plugg looks at you and shakes his head in disgust. Lorelei:

You should get XXXX clean, after all now we are XXX XXXX pirates not much more of a XXXX social deterrent then that. You manage to find a bit of soap not enough to become fully clean by itself but it will help take your smell down. Ornotck:
“Badger” Medlar Looks at you and shrugs, If i don't get lashes i don't care, do what you want with your friends. Orn and Lorelei:
Grok laughs when Lorelei mentions the lashes. I wanted to know why you got them this time. Now it makes sense. I bet scourge was mad at you, and did not want to hurt our girl here, because he might try to sleep with her latter. too funny She just laughs some more. After a little while she calms down and looks to the both of you with keen eyes If you want to get it on tonight just say so and i will give you an hour she says with a wink Night actions still needed are, Fen, Ragnar, and odiseo. I will wait till tomorrow night, and if no actions are taken then you just go to sleep early and we start day 4

sam Sure i can be quite, but i have heard a rummer going around how you are trying to get with some of us women, and you might have gotten one last night, why aren't you asking me? she flirts, and just laugh's as she goes back to work. At days end Plugg says you have done a passable job, but no more then a small child could do. Ragnar:
Ragnar, You are able to make it safely up, and are able to see the area around you clearly, you can make a Knowledge (geography) or Profession (sailor) check to know where you are with a +2 from your vantage point if you wish. when you are done for the day Plugg says he has seen better work from a monkey. odiseo:
Not this, that is for sure. I thought it would be all gold and women not this muck. but good to see someone else has to do this with me. Cant wait till we are done. Oh ya, here is a small gift i have been working on, after all now we are muck brothers he says with a smile, he hands you a small bone carving of a shark. when the two of you are done Plugg can tell you did not do a passable job, Your lucky we already have tonight entertainment lined up with that he walks away. you are fatigued now. Havok:
you do your task with ease you get a small nod of approval from Plugg fen:
Fen, Maya jumps into the water and starts to swim around. You cant tell if she is able to find anything so far. Lorelei:
As you do your running around, below decks you see a man chained up with tar and feathers on his arms and head, he looks to be eating something as well. night 3 partial actions Everyone else that has not done your night actions do so now. Scourge You now know the drill, Ragnar, Ornotck get up here and take you beatings. For spilling rum, Ragnar gets 6 lash's, he leaves it at that, leading everyone to guess why Ornotck is getting a lashing. ragnar:
Ornotck:
Plugg Well that was fun, now to drinking Grok brings out a large tub of rum, taking a large share for herself and sits down. Sandara sneaks her way over to Ragnar and Ornotck, healing them I cant keep doing this for you two, learn to not get in trouble. Havok:
You bet i can play a song you XXX XXXX. oh if you did not smell so XXXX XXXX bad i would go and XXXXXX with a XXXXXX to you and XXXXX on me XXXXX all night. Oh what the XXXX she pluggs her nose and walks over and gives you a peck on the cheek. Afterwords she starts to play It is a passable performance but seems like she could do better.
Lorelei: You manage to find Grok, the half orc quarter master sitting with her rather large cup of rum. As you start to small talk her the question you have comes up. grok Oh ya that problem, I bet with you newbies luck it was Plugg or scourge that found you, that would be funny. But i do have a place that I like to use for my own fun with who i want, You can use it for an hour when you ask me, she leans over and whispers into your ear, it is the quarter master room, it can lock from the inside. But if you take anything from there i will gut you. she backs away and laugh's. Giving a blush of her own when fish guts walks by.
Sandara well unless anyone else has something to say, lets try our best on this, after all we don't want to be keelhauled, and a friend is less likely to report on us.
day 3
day jobs:
ragnar you are look out today, make a climb and perception check. fen, you have to go fishing for turtles, make a survival check, ornotck Lorelei, you are both runners today make a acrobatics check and a con check, Odiseo, you are manning the bilges make a strength and con check havok, you are swabbing the deck, make a strength or con check, you pick No one dares to harass the group as you go up for your daily tasks, not after what happened yesterday. Lorelei you have a slight headache and part of the night is a little blurry, but you know you could put it together if you tried. Ornotck you are quite satisfied with how last night went, mostly the part after the whipping. Havok, sandara is swabbing the deck with you, as are a fair number of the crew, Odiseo, a young man named jack is down in the bilges with you. fen, as your trying to catch turtles, it seems that Maya wants to help you, your call if you use her help. Ragnar, Plugg makes fun of you a little and tell you a code you should use if you see something, because you cant speak normally, take your actions as you will.
odiseo:
The small monkey tilts its head at you, and slowly walks toward you, as it comes closer you see a small collar on it, It starts to sniff you as if it is looking for food, then goes up your leg onto your back, you can hear it sniffing all the way up.
fen:
As Fen picks up the otter and looks at it, the otter stares into Fens eyes, you can feel power and knowledge flowing from it into you, time seems to stand still after you name her Maya. An other worldly voice speaks to you in your mind, Ah another awakens to power, tell us young one, what patron do you wish to serve? and what low level spells do you wish to start your journey with.
everyone else ;P Sandara Ah looks like the two love birds made it back, and oh look it is Ragnar too, good good i think we have enough to get started then. I am sure you know this already but this is not the best ship to draw attention on, if you do it looks like you die, and the captain doesn't care. After all he can just press more people after we would die. So I have a plan, it might not be easy or even work, but better then nothing. I say each of us trys to make as much of the lower crew friendly to us, even if it is just on a one on one basis, there is strength in numbers after all. but that is just one plan, anyone else have an idea? she moves her hand around to each person giving them time to respond if they wish.
Ragnar:
CogGood to see you wont wimp out on me, lets see if your luck holds out he yells out in pain as the back of both of his hands are bloody, after a moment of cooling down from the pain. Well seems you beat me fair and square, I like you, you can dish it out and take it, now I think i should see Sandara before I sleep. Hard to work with bloody hands he leaves the 10 gold on the table for you to pick up, and starts to walk away Want to come with? fen and havok:
As fen opens the bag, small growls are heard as a very small muzzle pokes its head out, seemingly not enjoying the time it spent in the bag. It is an otter, it climbs out of the bag and up onto fen's back and starts to sniff her hair and cloths, Knowledge nature checks if you wish to know more.
sandaraeather it hated being in that bag or it really likes you girl she smiles at the otters antics, then looks over at havok, Well i hope you dont burn down the ship. But i am glad i could help, remember i scratch your back you scratch mine, oh looks like the otter is scratching her back as we speak. then a man with two bloody hands and a blue scarf wrapped around his head comes walking up to Sandara. cog Looks like i need some healing, if your able to, that new rigger is strong, beat me easily in arm wrestling he holds up his hands hoping for the to be fixed. sandara looks at fen and havok how can arm wrestling do that much damage i know there is glass, but this is too much, Did Ragnar get hurt at all? or just you? she says as she looks at his hands cog Just me, now can you fix them? sandara Yes i will one moment Lorelei and ornotck: if you choose to wrap up quickly, then you walk in and see sandara holding a symbol while in front of a man with bloody hands, his hands stop bleeding, Fen and havok are in front of you two. fen has a otter on her back sniffing her hair.
ragnar:
forgot to mention but you can place bets if you so wish,
cog Ah good to see you are up to the challenge, i bet you 5 gold that i will win. he says with a over confident smile, and tosses down five gold, he sets up a barrel that has shards of glass on it where your hand would land if you lose, half on one said half on another. after you beat him his hand starts to bleed a fair amount he grumbles in pain, and brings his other hand up. Not bad, lets see how you do a second time strong guy double or nothing he puts down 10 gold Lorelei and ornotck:
Sandara scoffs at his offer, and gives nod of thanks over to Lorelei We have much to talk about dont take too long with that she walks away. fen and havok: Sandara comes back after a few moments away, blushing a little bit.
It seems they will be with us after a little while, they are umm a bit tangled up for now. Where is Ragnar and the other man anyway? Also before I forget, I managed to gather some things up from the half orc quartermaster the first day you were all drugged, What she brings out is a Alchemist kit, a small sized sling and morningstar, along with a small sack that has something fairly small moving inside of it. Grok was happy to be rid of these things as i told her they were cursed, even more so with the thing in the bag, she did not want it in her store room, Fen you should take it. Dont want our goblin to eat it after all she finishes with a teasing voice.
ok for starters, i rolled randomly on who would find Lore and orn. 2 what dm feel would you guys like, comical, high adventure, mysterious, ect what ever you guys can think of, for right now i am making it a bit comical while still keeping in line with the ap. C what kind of descriptions of actions would you guys like to see and or do, from rolling a hit and saying it hit, to rolling a hit and the foes body spin in place from the blow before he regains his balance starring at you with rage. or even the sexual stuff for that matter, of saying they did the deed to being more graphic with it. they plant a fair amount of potential romance partners in the AP and flat out call them that as well, so would be good to know how we should handle the carnal stuff as well. DEE do you guys want me to decide on how extra uses of skills are used outside of what the book says. ie using bluff to seduce, or would you like a say in it. and do you want me to say what the rules are and where to find them. or just tell you in role playing how it goes. i ask these things because i want the game to be enjoyable to everyone and to me the best way to do that is to get feedback on what they would like or be ok with in a game, after all it is not just the dm playing it is all of us. side note Odiseo it seems we are in the same carrion crown game, i am the witch, side side note. just got two jobs both part time ones, but after looking for work for over a year i am really exited about having work. and i still will be able to gm because well if i am not at work i am on the computer.
ragnar:
if you wish to accept the challenge, make a str check, his str check is this he seems a little drunk odiseo:
You can see the monkey but it does not leap into your arms, you will need to handle animal, grapple it or something else, before you try to sneak the monkey down fen and havok:
sandara saysWhat a nice goblin you are, I wanted to talk to you all about how now it the time to make friends....wait what did the halfling say about those two going off together? what did you mean by that. You know what I dont want to say this more then I half too, i am getting them now she walks off to where fen hinted at. Lorelei and ornotck: Scourge walks by after hearing the noise you two are making, OH what is this, I think you better leave gray skin, and let a real man show you how its done he starts to undo his pants when ornotck does his intimidate check. Making Scourge think twice in his attempt to get some. He puts his pants back together and says she looks like your junk would melt off if you got her, have fun with no dick gray face. he sneers mumbling to himself as he walks away.
a few moments latter sandara walks by and takes a look at what the noise is, after seeing what is going on she says in a deathly whisper what are you two doing, I thought i told you i wanted to talk, and you why are you so drunk you only had one mug
At the bloody hour Ragnar, Ornotck, and a rat face halfling are each put to the mast one at a time,
Ragnar:
Ragnar
For sneaking around below decks at night the cripple gets 6 lashes
Ornotck:
For payment of his loss last night in gambling ratline gets 3 lashes halfling:
halfling
Ah now that we got that out of the way lets drink
while everyone is getting a drink Sandara walks over to the passed out body's of those punished and whispers a few words,
You two should be more careful, I wont always be able to help you, if possible i would like to talk to your new group as soon as I can. with that she walks off to take her rum. Odiseo:
You are uninterrupted in going up to the deck, the monkey is easy to find without need for a check, as it is on the deck looking in corners, what would you like to use your free 20 to do. Ragnar:
Scourge looks over at you and pats his whip smiling at you as you drop your rum. Cog looks over at you when you start talking to him
What was that last part, oh forget it, better to talk with our actions lets arm wrestle havok and fen: Sandara walks up to the two of you and looks around in confusion. umm where are the others, the ones that you had to do the climbing with, I thought i told them we were going to all talk soon. No matter i will talk to you two for now, also can you tell them that we should all gather tomorrow to talk it is very important for all of us. |
