Wow really? That totally does not seem to fit a Pirate AP. Ya, I'm good leaving this here. The whole AP just didn't have the fun that I thought it would have. Let Puck have the island and the rest of us can sail off into the sunset. So.. Given this PBP is ending, are there any other really fun APs or Modules that people suggest I should watch for another PBP to start up on?
Lets just get the Kracken to port. I hate to say it but Captain Harrigan beat us today. If we attack him now, the Master of Gales will take his side, and we are in no shape to challenge him. But if we have the ship, we can always pay him back tomorrow.
We can start plotting how to sink him tomorrow.
OK we need to get control of the ship again if we are going to win the race! Get rid of that creature! Lito puts his words into action as he stops up opsite of Estelle and attacks the second Stalker.
Save the Captain!!! Lito keeps up the commands coordinating the attack and walks to the opisite side of one of the creatures attacking Besmara drawing his rapier as he does so.
Damn it! someone summoned invisible Stalkers on our deck!!!! Lito points and casts Glitterdust centered on Besmara. Then he starts directing the crew to coordinate keeping the ship on course and allowing for some of the officers to fight the things that are hopefully now revealed.
I didn't even notice that.... I just saw there was no easy way to get back to my list of active campaigns any more....
Lito flys back into the sea.
Then he looks back at the deck of the ship and with a haunting laugh transports himself back on board.
As he appears back on board he continues to call out orders to help the crew fight the elemental that is now close to the deck.
We only have so much left here..... Come one someone man that balista...It's got to be able to help. Lito spins around again and launches another ball of fire from his outstretched palm.
Ya, it threw me for a loop too...
Hey, Lito actually threw a fireball!!! I honestly didn’t think we would ever get there.
Ha you moved! No sails to catch here!. Lito yells dancing suddenly like a crazy man, after a moment he spins around and stops palm out as a ball of flame launches from his hand and explodes next to the elemental.
Come on boys we can beat this! Hit it with a ballista! And someone get Chay up here to shoot the thing!
Only thing I can do is shoot a bow, Here take the wheel. Lito hand off the wheel (free action), grabs up his bow (move), empowers it with his arcane magic (swift) and fires it at the creature (standard).
Lito keeps directing everyone to make sure they get the most out of them while he steers the ship. Captain, Do you want up on the mast? I think I know a trick to get you up near the thing.
Watch It! Nasty Lightning Elemental Lito yells pointing at the mast while holding the wheel trying to keep the ship from floundering. He starts calling out orders in case the thing wants to fight.
Lito keeps the ship on course to run past the turtle. As Besmara pulls herself dripping on deck Lito looks over with a leer. Captain, you may want to change out of that wet shirt before you grab the helm, because you look like every man’s Mermaid fantasy right now.
Kingmaker basically gives you an Explore/map this area quest and then puts a bunch of interesting challenges in front of the party based on where they decide to go. If they had done that, this might have been a lot more fun. But both APs seem to have some trouble withthe tacked on rules systems.
I'm OK ending this... But then you all probably knew that from my post before... The story does seem overall... rather meh. The most fun I've had is finding a girl in every port, but my enthusiasm isn't in this one.
See the way the waves clash, avoid that part of the water. Lito tries his best to guild Besmara through the crazy current.
As he does he also uses his ability to manage the crew to aid the others in reacting to her course corrections even as they get caught in the current.
Let's see if we can catch up a bit. Lito studies the charts and tries to plot a course.
There. If we go there, it should make up a bit of time.
Yes but can he swim fast enough to scout for our ship? That means moving faster the our ship. Not sure if anyone has something that can make him swim faster.....
I'll have to level up later.... I'll try to get to it tonight, but if Not I'll be traveling all next week and unable to do this till late this week. As for the next challenge. I'm no good at survival, so this is going to have to be someone else's solution to pass this test or we run around it.
Lito sends a message off to Fairwind letting her know, then plots a course to Port Peril and gets the crew ready to race per the captain's orders.
Well it's a race. Silk sails to make us run faster, or reinforced hull to keep us from being sunk if we need to fight. There is more to life then just what happens in bed.
What? He goes over to examine the charts, and when he looks away and back and sees a smudge move.
We have a lot to tank Fairwind for it seems. If this is a race, should we think about using some of that letter of credit to upgrade the Kracken?
Well, Ya. I expect to cheat, but against them. It's so much more fun to out cheat a cheater. And what do you mean the perfect map?
Nope, I didn't get that far. I wasn't sure you would be interested, particularly when you hear it's a race on the edge of The Eye against other Pirates. So there's a good chance we will face dirty tricks and nasty storms.
Hey, she's a good ally for the crew to have, and you to have on the council. I would hate to leave her anything less the fully satisfied. He grins back at her. Plus she did offer to cover our entry fee if we wanted to run in the Pirate Reggata. That's 500 gold beyoud this. He hands Besmara the letter of credit after glancing at how much it is for.
After quite some time: Lito wanders back in the room to see Noonan and Pluck awake.
Come, Come we must be getting back to the ship. Lito leads Noonan back to the ship, glancing back over his sholder with a smile, looking Fairwind's command post.
The cheerfulness is still present when he arrives at the Kracken. Glancing over at the crew training on deck he shouts:
Then he heads over to find Besmara and fill her in on the letter of credit, thoughts Tessa had on the spy ring and to start to feel her out on if she would be open to running the Regatta.
Lito leans down and starts to Kiss Tessa's neck and run his hand up her side
Foxy, I assume that the the Regatta is the next step in this book, if we want to keep going on this AP, correct?
Did anyone ever figure out how he did it?
I'd rather be one step ahead of them this time.
The Eye!
He thinks for a moment then says:
Suddenly he looks back at her and says:
Most dangerous place in the sea? Where’s that? Lito asks curiously as he props himself up on one elbow to get a better look at Tessa’s face as they talk.
Lito Chuckles softly.
The captain hasn't mentioned that before, but then none of us had any idea that winning it grants a seat on the council. He thinks for a moment and then continues softly as if talking to himself...
Some time later:
So tell me Tessa, what's the secret to rising in the ranks of the free captains? How does the Kracken make a name for itself besides the obvious?
Lito looks over at Noonan passed out from the wine, smiles inwardly and turns back to Tessa. He offers his hand to help her from her chair and when she stands lightly kisses the back of her hand.
He says with a small bow and a smile.
Standing beside her as she looks at the journal, and trying hard not to distract himself by looking down her blouse or staring at her legs, Lito thinks about the money for a while. After a moments though he speaks up:
The Assasin, Giles did say that the storefront was handing out contracts and he made it seem like there was more then just one.
Lito Thinks for a moment the says:
Lito goes over the Journal with Tessa including pointing out her name in there and the number next to it.
Is Besmara on the ledger, and did we make any correlation between the numbers next to the names and the captains? I think I jumped to an assumption that it was the number of spies in the crew, but it could be any number of other things.
That's who the one spy Haddon was set to watch over. Movements in and out of the town partirly involving the Master of Gales. He told us that when we tried spoke with his dead body. But he could have been just watching because he was in Drenchport. Unless we missed a clue, there isn't much more to go off of. Mysteries are hard when there is so much time between clues.
Sensing her mood, Lito turns serious, leaving off his flirting ways for a time.
The only thing I know about him, is he wins the pirate Regata often, operates out of Drenchport, and is rumored to know more about the Eye then anyone. Do you know more, or is what we have to work with?
Lito lay’s out the whole story for her, pulling out the evidence and explaining it toher as he comes to the correct points in the story. He makes sure to make the story as entertaining as possible for Tessa while giving her all the important facts and dramatically giving each officer in the crew a heroic moment to shine. Note he will gloss over some of the details with the priestesses although he will let slide how impressed the high priestess was with him before moving on. The goal here is to discretely impress Tessa not flaunt his conquests.
You expected something less?
Between the two of us, we have the Kracken running as a pretty tight ship.
So ya, I’d say we found something.
Lito grins back at the captain. Can you blame me? She will make a powerful friend for the crew and is almost as pretty as you.
Then he goes off to gather all the evidence of the spy ring.
Hearing Noonan comment he is about to object when he thinks better if it.
After enjoying the meal and handing out pay to the crew Lito approaches the captain. Captain, do you want me to take what we found to Captain Fairwind, or do you want us all to go?
Everyone, I broke my dominant wrist a couple nights ago so please excuse me for the next few weeks if I don’t post often. Also they’re probably going to pretty short posts because typing is very hard right now. Bit me as needed
Lito heads out to try to sell the loot.
Does that include all the stuff we got off the Pirates That were crashing things on the Reef and the Assassin Kenku?
