That makes me sad

Woohoo! Congrats!
Sorry folks. Work has kicked my ass this week. I'll probably be able to get caught up on Thursday, but for now, just know I haven't disappeared.
Been horribly bogged down with work. Lots of mishaps to fix. -sigh- Never a calm, normal day.
Young cat, but yes. It's a common virus that randomly mutates. She was between 8 & 10 months old. It was a sudden onset of the mutation and there really wasn't anything that could be done, due to how fast and aggressive it was.
Well, we tried treatment. She rallied on Saturday, but on Sunday, her body began being overwhelmed by the disease. I won't go into details or specifics (send me a message if you want that), but I took her Monday for a second opinion at a different vet. FIP was confirmed, and I was gently told that there truly was not much to be done. They could either stretch her out for a few days, or we could put her down today. So I did the tough decision and put her down. We had several of my friends and my dad there with me, which was a great help. I cried and am still crying on and off. It's going to be a truly tough day tomorrow. I'm going to try and post tomorrow, but if I'm needed before then, please bot me.
My friends, I may be scarce the next few days. My cat got diagnosed with a possibly fatal disease called Feline Infectious Peritonitis (or FIP). I...am struggling with this news, and the beginning of treatment for my youngest cat. I just need a few days to recover myself.
The Markborn just tosses the cloth over his shoulder as he heads below. Seeing his friend, he just chuckles and shakes his head. "You and I just seem to be having these problems a good deal, don't we..."
Work has been kicking my ass the last couple days, so I'll try to post tonight. Sorry for disappearing for so long.
That's the one rule of never asking! :O Did you want the DM to kill us all?!
Don't have to work? I was just at work for 13 hours+, by myself, on my feet for the entire time with not a single break (or lunch). lol I was lucky to breath.
The servant of Besmara grins and nods. "We'll see what sort of blessings Besmara brings tomorrow, hmm?"
No, it's not an evil adventure path but there are evil people. Having played this one before, it's best not to try to hard in saving him, as you will be disappointed. Pirates don't take stealing lightly. Not at all, as you'll see. Heroics in the Shackles aren't easy, and sometimes the heroic route just isn't possible, no matter how hard you try.
Iggy smirks and rubs a bit of grit from his cheek. "That's like asking if I've seen the wind. I've seen what she's done and how she influences things, but I have a few more years yet to see her in person." He leans a bit closer. "Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeves. Nothing too flamboyant yet, but I will say this...I've taught more than a few that it is a bad, bad move to get on my bad side. It opens many doors." He laughs and extends a hand. "Ignatius Hank. And you're...Rosie, yes?"
"Oh, this thing? Had it since birth. Mum used to tell me that she'd prayed for someone to take over her ships once she got too old to stay on the waters, and Besmara blessed her with me, in exchange for me keeping the Queen's philosophy true in my heart. It tends to lead me into interesting places and meeting quite a wide range of folks. And of course, I will say that the rumors of those who bear this Mark...well, there's a reason why we are known as the right hand of the Banshee Queen."
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind, Master Scourge" is the only response the worshipper of Besmara gives before he heads to his work. And work, the Caldaru man does. With almost supernatural grace and endurance, Iggy moves messages around the ship with little difficulty.
Probably demoralize. He's genuinely working to keep Scourge away from him, so whatever move best fits.
"Oh, I have certainly had my fair share of trials. My name is Ignatius Hank, son of Esmerelda Hank." He remains quiet after that, allowing the name to sink in. The name of one of the Shackles most notorious Free Captains and an accomplished priestess of the Pirate Queen followed him everywhere, and there was no reason to leave it out. "I am sure that I will accomplish the task to satisfaction."
So I'm curious: will you allow Intimidate to be used to improve mood or is it mainly Bluff and Diplomacy, in this one?
I'm gonna agree with option 2. I don't like XP tracking.
The big man remains quiet, nodding only once, as he heads over to Scourge, giving the tiefling a look that seems typically reserved for the town idiot, or the seagoing alternative. "Duties, sir?" the man says, remaining limited in the words spoken but keeping his eyes open.
Iggy responds with the same tone, cursing internally over how slow he went up the ropes but truly glad he hadn't fallen and broken anything. "No, sir." He pulls back his hair, tying it tighter away from his face and showing clearly the mark of Besmara on his cheek.
Which is the greater evil is really semantics, in this case. The people of the Shackles aren't all weak willed things, and Devils are high on the "we don't like" list for most people in the area, due to their association with Cheliax. Secondly, I'm going to agree that the PCs can't really be forced into a particular reaction. Some PCs may view you negatively, some may not care (like Iggy), or some might like you. It's all a debatable situation, based on the way each person plays their character. So...back to the task at hand?
The brawny man doesn't take near as much time as the others, working his way up the ropes. He seems to be having a pretty simple time of it, for the most, but his foot twists through the rope near the top and gets hung. As he tries to free his foot, the remains of the poison in his system throw off his balance, and he hangs upside down for a moment. He still remains calm in his actions, righting himself and easily making it the last few feet.
Wondering that as well.
Yep. Had to. Glad you got the reference.
Moving right along. Footloose and fancy free? Ready for the big time, is it ready for me?
Agreed. I'm sure we'll get him back (or someone) eventually.
"Eh, we've been in worse situations than this." The tall man just shrugs. "They don't call the Banshee a 'Fickle B@*%*' without reason." He touches the Mark on his cheek for just a moment, as he looks over those around them.
Such a number of loud mouths today... the tall man thinks to himself, as he smacks his lips together, trying to place the sort of taste in his mouth, not remembering anything necessarily sweet he had ordered the night previous. Such was the life of the Markborn, though. Those who bore the Mark of the Black Lady. Rubbing the skull and crossbones that shows on his cheek, he pushes the long hair back and knots it roughly out of his way, exposing the Mark to the light and to the view of all. As the young fiery red headed woman passes by them, he nods, making no attention to hide the Pirate Queen's Mark on his face. Once his eyes are fully adjusted to the light, he looks over to his fellows who have been pressganged. Iggy's eyes widen, as he notices Charlotte. "Why am I less than surprised that we would end up on a ship together again?..."
Works for me. Guess I missed Scoundrel's post. The joy of working WAY too many hours. Lol
And now we're just waiting on Scoundrel and our wanna-be Swordlord. Lol ;p
I think it'll be exceptionally fitting. I can see it being pure creepiness.
Fancy?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iggy_Azalea Oh heck no! None of that craziness! Although I do have some ideas for Scoundrel and Iggy having some options to help each other in combat. Two feats: Overflank and Precise Strike.
I like it too, and I just PM-ed Iggy's sheet to you. But for now, I'm crashing
Ok, that'll work for me. As far as sending it, how would you like that sent? Glad to know that Iggy will get his armor off the bat, though.
Ignatius rolls over onto his stomach, the swarthy Southern fellow groans low, swallowing the sour taste of last night's booze. Gozreh's angry white ass...what did I drink? Or what did I NOT drink... The gentle rocking motions though drags a much louder groan from the man's lips. Iggy pushes the damp hair that clings to his forehead and readjusts the stray strands beneath an old rugged red bandana wrapped around his forehead. Putting a hand to the rough wood, the familiarity of the waves giving him the motivation to rise to his feet. Squeezing his fist, he reaches to his belt, feeling much lighter over his midsection and... His eyes widen, as he looks to see the whelp and his flock of lackeys. At least the lackeys were more his measure. Rather than saying anything stupid, the large Caldaru in striped sailor shirt and leather breeches narrows his eyes at the man and heads to the bright deck above.
Checking in as well. Looking forward to it! I've just got to put in the gear and skill points as well.
I'll have Iggy sent to you shortly. Craziness with work.
I feel ya on the crazy weather. I'm in East Tennessee and it's been nothing but snow and ice. I'll send you the updated info on my sheet as soon as I have gear bought.
I was going to ask the same as well.
Scoundrel, if you don't like them, don't take them. Just that simple.
As far as starting gold, I'm assuming average, for buying gear?
I'm an aye, for sure. Reasonable requests and an interest in making it a fun campaign.
