I seem to have missed a lot! I'm on the Paizo site for the first time in a while, as I lost my job before Christmas and promptly forgot about a lot of my hobbies. I feel bad for dropping off the face of the earth as I did. I still have to focus on real life stuff for a while, but I'd like to say thanks to everyone - this was my first PBP and I enjoyed our roleplaying together. Happy gaming!
Tête-à-tête: Linnet is startled but takes a seat - she doubts she'll get another chance for a break today. She sips her tea and recounts her tales of growing upon a ship.
"What about yourself?" she asks. "What was your life like before joining the Wormwood?"
Linnet Reminisces: Linnet brightens for perhaps the first time since waking up on the ship.
"My mother is a captain of-" she trails off awkwardly when she realizes she probably doesn't want to paint a target on the Applesby ship "-her own vessel. I grew up at sea."
Linnet spends her evening trying to befriend Conchobhar, regaling him with the tale of their adventures versus the crab-creatures, sharks, dire rats, and Sahuagin. Run Linnet Run!: Linnet sits with relief, glad for a moment off her feet. She gives Peppery a tremulous smile, not used to such kind treatment on this ship. She looks around with curiosity at the books and oddities then racks her brain for something to say when Peppery is less absorbed in her tasks.
Her eyes widen as she sees the cloak. The pirates had seemed like such a ragtag band that she had not expected any real finery to be aboard. "How long have you been with the ship?" she asks. And were you forced on it as well? she wonders.
Yikes, get well!
Linnet nods at the talk of Slippery Syl. Will you kidnap someone to replace her as well? She keeps her thoughts to herself and puts her weight into bringing the boat around, though she can't quite manage it on her own.
"Good to have you back, Bleepos," she says when they're in position, trying to keep her mind on more cheerful things. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never boarded a ship like this before. This should be fun!" She hurls her hook with vigor then gets to climbing.
Welcome back indeed!
Linnet also rushes over, but the others seem to be handling it and there's no room for her to approach, so she rolls up her sleeves and stands ready to assist when the chance arises. "Um, Officer Kreene, do you know who... passed away last night?" she asks hesitantly.
"There you go, play nice," says Linnet to the two. She grins. "It's certainly been an eventful day. Maybe I will retire soon. Hard to sleep with such adventure besetting us on all sides, though."
Linnet paces a bit in agitation, not taking her eyes off either the enemies or her companions. Blood-drinkers, poisoners, chased by fish people... What have I gotten myself into?! She feels out of her depth experience-wise, but it's not like she hasn't joined them in underhanded scheming already. If she wants to make it through the Shackles, she needs to fit in. She forces a smile on her face and nudges Aqguazula. "Trouble leaving the mob?" she asks in as light a tone as she can manage.
"Sahuagin?" Linnet repeats.
She brings over her handy healing kit to tend to their fallen foe.
They want to fight one of us, they get all of us! Linnet charges to the top of the stairs with a yell and shoots her crossbow at one of them .
"It'll probably be a while til the crabs are ready, but I can give you some of my rations once I pick up my gear from Grok." Linnet turns to the officers. "Can we go see Sandara as well? None of us came out of that fight unscathed."
"Owlbear is chained up by the captain's quarters sometimes, but if he's free,
"Hmm... maybe we could provide a further distraction in the evening? Dacota, you're a good singer, maybe you should give a performance. I got used to sneaking around my own ship to hear the gossip that my mother kept from me, so I can help plant items."
Linnet's head spins for a moment, the last attack making her woozy. Once she feels steadier, she helps Dacota grab the reefclaw.
Linnet follows Dacota over to the last reefclaw and swings her greatsword again.
After eying Sasha to make sure she won't fall off the dolphin, Linnet heads back to defend her other companions. She swings down at the reefclaw Aqguazula is currently battling.
Yes, if everyone else agrees then welcome back!
Linnet keeps heading towards Sasha, trying to pull out her heal kit as she goes.
Linnet heads towards Sasha.
Linnet attempts again to break free of the thing encircling her leg.
Linnet grits her teeth at the pain of the creature's grip. Her alarm grows as she sees Sasha sink under the waves.
Linnet refocuses on the hell lobster, which is really starting to hurt her.
Linnet sees Sasha go under and redoubles her efforts in the fight. She doesn't think she can take her eyes off the creatures in front of her without endangering herself, so she has to off them quickly to be able to save her friend. She remembers the greatsword she got back from Grok and drops her mace. Ignoring the thing pinching her leg, she draws her greatsword on the shark next to her with all her force.
If only she had remembered to aim.
Linnet smashes her mace down on one of the clawed creatures.
Sounds like fun! Is Aqguazula's hooch done brewing yet? If we are victorious with the crabs, maybe we'd like to go celebrate that!
Linnet draws her club, ready to smack a critter if need be .
Linnet gives up on the notion of charming a shark...
... but a crab is another story.
Linnet whoops as she does a spinning dive off the ship . It has been a while since she's gotten to swim again. She dashes towards the side of the ship with a shriek as the sharks swarm close, but when Aqguazula appears to have them under control, she slips back in with an embarrassed laugh. Come on, you can usually wrap animals around your little finger... Linnet tries to bond with a shark (inasmuch as one ever can) as they head over to the reef, trying to prove something to herself.
She keeps an eye out for Sasha, who seems uneasy in the water. "I don't even know who those people are - but they're not us, so I'm in. I can be pretty sneaky when I need to be. Haven't been forced to drink that foul concoction yet!"
Linnet thanks Sandara for her efforts.
She nods at Aqguazula. "Quite a feat if you can manage it, but you've pulled off stranger things at this point! I still have that lock and key Chandria and I found, so it shouldn't be too hard to secure our gear. I can sneak into the kitchen tonight if I have to." Linnet heads up for another day of work.
Nice work on the list! I can take Disable Device next level to give us lockpicking.
Now that's true pirate spirit!
Linnet winks back, then heads over to talk to Owlbear, retrieving her mace on the way over. "Hey, buddy," she says, laying a hand on his shoulder. "How are you feeling? Are you hurt? Maybe we should get you to Sandara. That wasn't much fun, huh?"
"Good job, Aq!" says Linnet with a grin. "Your reputation made and no blood shed. Thanks for the coins, too!"
Damn! Linnet thinks as she sees her mace discarded on the floor. I hope I can get that back after...
That's hardly fair... though what would I expect from this crew! Time to even the playing field. Linnet slyly drops her mace and kicks it over to Aqguazula.
Linnet stays silent, but she scans the room to see if Sandara is present. The fight is bound to get someone hurt, though Aqguazula has shown he can handle his own wounds when he needs to.
"Good luck and stay safe," says Linnet. "Just remember, we need all the friends we can get."
Linnet eyes the booze and, at the end of the shift, tries to sneak away a bottle for later.
--- Linnet holds her cup down low and pours her rum into another crewman's cup.
Before Aqguazula goes over to fight, Linnet will say to him, "I don't think Owlbear's in this by choice. Don't hurt him too much if you can help it. You should be able to outsmart him."
That sounds awesome, and so fitting! I've been loving your sea shanties thus far. Here is one of my favourite music sites, for Newfoundland folk music, if you're interested. I'm playing a bard (the awesome Thundercaller) in my RL RotRL game, and it's been a blast - often literally! The party is awfully spoiled by, at Level 12, a minimum of +5 to attack and damage at any given time.
"Yessir," she mumbles to Scourge and takes off. "Hello, my name is Linnet, I'm here to help you today," she says to Kroop upon her arrival in the galley. "Just be warned I'm not much of a cook." As she ties on an apron, she peers about the room and thinks, I wonder if I can get a look at any of those cabinets Chandria was talking about... (-2 sickened, + 4 working diligently)
