Mama Mambo's page

Hey all I'm going to withdraw from this game. I'm just losing interest in PbP and Pathfinder.

Have fun y'all I have a lot of confidence that Meleager will bring you one helluva game

Thanks for letting us do stealthy magic, that's one of the gripes I have with RAW pathfinder.

Mambo stays clear of the shenanigans, quietly ditching her drink and heading to her hammock early.

Sorry for short post not feeling great right now.

@Reknar only if you don't mind Mambo blessing you and any targets of your affection.

Survival, foraging for foooood?: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 4 = 28 Omfg

Mambo doesn't need Kroops help. She's beginning to to think he's her sous-chef, and a lousy one at that. She manages to reel in enough tuna to prep for the evening's dinner.

Mambo engages Cogward in some light theological debate, "Lamashtu very nice. She cares for her own family, teaches caring for own family. This crew now Mambo's family, but maybe not all." She eyes Scourge and Plugg and the holy symbol on her face flickers with baleful light for a moment.

She talks about her tribe and how she carefully placed all her tribe mate's children in the baby pit so they wouldn't hurt themselves too much. How they feasted on Binny mushrooms and the slugs that clung to their fruiting bodies.

Lol

Mambo meets Djir that evening and gives him her rum ration along with a pouch of smoked beetles, seasoned with salt and cheyanne pepper. She pats his head ruffling his fur, "Of course dearie."

Mambo overhears Rosie talking about Cogward and goes over to the man giving him a wry grin. She commands the man, "Hey! You're on Mama Mambo's side now! Mambo has lots of friends and is big damn pirate now! Mambo will lead you to lots of sparkly bitz! Take them from peoples that don't need and don't share!"

Diplo, enhanced diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25

Mambo nods enthusiastically at Djir and gives him a toothy too wide smile, "Good eating tonight!"

Mambo takes up Pai on her offer and begins to gather the filthy rat corpses.

Suddenly another copy of Mambo appears right besides her and they swing around in a circle a couple of time. The true Mambo touches Chisomo and her mind skews at odd angles. Chisomo suddenly understands a bit of war craft that had eluded her before but it also segments her mind blocking other parts of it.

Move: Copy cat as per mirror image but only one image. Standard, use Visions of Madness on Chisomo, for 3 rounds have a +1 untyped bonus to attack but a -1 penalty to saves and skills.

Mambo puts on her armor and shield and clutches her small dagger. She runs through the mental list of ingredients needed for rat stew. She drops a wheel of cheese on Arkhan's head when they arrive at the bilges.

The night before

Mambo consoles Giffer, "Mambo will cut Arhkan foot off and feed it to him if he gets out of line again. Bedraggled people are Lamashtu people, Lamashtu helps them. People forget they broken, think they better for not being broken, but pretending to not be broken, that sin. Being broken is beautiful, Giffer beautiful. "

Today

Turtle catching, survival, work diligently, foraging for foooood?: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 + 4 = 19

Tonight's food: Galtish inspired turtle in piquant sauce.

Arkhan needs to be more like Mambo, Arkhan needs to compliment more hats.

Mambo throws a sea biscuit at Arkhan’s face for speaking, ”Stuff your face hole with this. Better in than out!” Mambo didn’t have time to spice up the night's dinner with Fishguts insisting on complaining about his plight all day. But she did manage to surreptitiously give an extra bit of salted beef to Grok, and some of the others she liked, Chisomo, Djir, Pai. That last one is more out of fear than fondness.

Once she was done with her rounds, she hid her rum ration as was becoming her habit. If it's just a DC 10 stealth I auto pass that even with a 1.

Mambo approached one of the gnomes cautiously I think there’s two. The one that Arkahn offended, ”Hey! You’re Mambo’s friend now. Lamashtu will watch over you, and give you her blessing. You watch Mambo’s back. Mambo gives you better food! Mambo likes your hat.”

Diplomacy, enhanced diplomacy, vision of madness: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 26

The entire ship is going to hate us at this rate. Post later.

Okay, I still need the actions of Arkhan and Pai Song before I can move to Night actions.

@Mama Mamba, the goal is to do Day actions first before posting for your night actions.

Yeah the bull session says I get to take an extra ship action.

5 Bull Session: Drinking with Ambrose Kroop and

listening to his stories. The cook’s mate must
drink an additional rum ration, but is able to take
an additional ship action during the day.

I normally get a ship action, unless I work diligently, so an extra ship action means I get two for daytime. And there's no reason for me to work diligently if there's not check for me today. I guess no one eats today? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fishguts is determined to rattle on about whatever and whoever well Mambo isn't going to stop him. She is going to sober him up, at least a little. As she runs rum to him she makes sure to bless it.

Not sure if this applies but casting purify food and drink on the rum to try to get rid of the deleterious effects.

If purify food and water doesn't help then Mambo will slight of hand the same way last night.

Pretend to drink, take 10, visions of madness, guidance, fatigue?: 10 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 17

Action 1
Mambo at least has some time to trade recipes with Fishguts. Not that they had access to crawfish, heron, mud, snails, or nutria.

Casting enhanced diplomacy
Diplo vs Fishguts, mad, enhanced diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 11

Action 2

After the bull session with Fishguts Mambo brought a snack to Grok as she tended to her duties, a sea biscuit. But the biscuit was softened with warm butter and honey lightly drizzled in between. Mambo knew it was delicious because she had three already.

She asked Grok while looking back and forth apparently not noticing Chisomo, "Hey! Mambo had things. Now Grok have things. Can Mambo have Mambo now Grok things and be Mambo things again? Leathers. Bags."

Mambo jumps when she finally notices Chisomo, "Hey! You good at fighting." She turns to Grok and also asks, "Can you get dumb human here, human things?" She turns back to Chisomo, "Human can protect Mambo if Grok does this."

Diplomacy, visions of madness, enhanced diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 10 Hopefully since she's already helpful that will work for even dangerous aid.

Initiative, fatigued: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 1 = 2

Mambo nearly slept in with all the reverie last night. She narrowed her eyes at the implied threat and her instincts started to take over. The tattoo on her face began to glow a little bit as she drew divine power, but she was slower on the uptake than everyone else in the room.

Can we use Google slides please? No login needed for players.

Con vs fatigue, if needed: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I will get another IC post tomorrow night. Busy day today.

Lol, the entertainment was a vehicle for the influence. I guess I assumed that since there was no money was on the table it would just be an influence action rather than an entertainment and an influence action.

In any case the influence target was Grok since I mentioned her in the post. It doesn't matter to me who, at the moment, so if there is someone else that I should be trying for please let me know. Perhaps my fellow players can make a suggestion. I don't have time right at the moment to go through the NPC list Chisomo made.

Nice! Thank you so much.

Mambo beamed at the praise, which amounted to a disturbingly wide smile with scraggly yellow teeth showing. Tonight’s dinner: Goat meat stew, a slightly sweet gamey flavor pervades the stew accented with garlic and a slight tang. Bits of onion, carrots, and celery, all long cooked but not quite as long as Mambo would have liked. At least the meat was tender.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Heal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

During Bloody Hour Mambo eyed the mangled meat unsympathetic to this man she didn’t know. She did know she wouldn’t be him. As the body is tossed overboard Mambo protests.

Mambo had tasted the rum earlier while exploring the kitchen, she knew it was poison, as evidenced by the completely useless and drunk Fishguts. She reasoned out the purpose, she had done as much to some of her former tribe, easier to control or kill. She prayed to Lamashtu silently and her deity skewed her mind Vision of madness myself for +1 to skill checks. Looking around her she surreptitiously poured out the drink and afterwards feigned chugging it in one go.

Sleight of hand, take 10, vision of madness: 10 + 6 + 1 = 17

Mambo tries her hand at Hog Nob. Again using Visions of Madness.

Toss the pig around, mad as a hatter: 1d20 - 4 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 4 - 4 - 1 = -6

She heaves the Hog above head but begins to buckle under the weight. So unbalanced Mambo tips over backwards and the Hog slides across the floor behind her before slamming into the foot of Grok. Mambo lies prone for a second before exclaiming, ”I won!”

Influence with loveable antics, mad as a hatter, diplomacy?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24

Any chance we can get a list of the NPCs we can try to influence? I’m having trouble keeping up.

@GM did you need checks beyond what I did here? they were specifically for my daily tasks.

If extra Perception is required: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The briefest smile crosses Mambo's face as the man underestimates her.

Mambo heads straight to the Galley and marvels at the magnificence of the kitchen before her. Every kind of food tool she has seen and most that she has not. Looking around she tries to find a stool so that she can reach the bubbling cauldron and see what Fishguts has already started. She starts by tasting a bit of everything. She grabs a meat cleaver and eyes a goat...

I assume I'll have specific tasks too and that it will be a cook check. And search the Galley?

Cook: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Mambo's stomach audibly growls as Arkhan mentions runny pan fried eggs basted with butter and just a generously seasoned. She frowns at the half-ork as if to say she wish she did.

Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (9) - 3 = 6

Mama Mambo looks at the mast, assessing, backs up 20ft and runs as fast as she can at it. At the last moment she jumps at it, slamming into it and trying to hug the mast with both arms and legs. Once in this position she cannot move and then slowly falls backwards off the mast and slams onto the deck.

She groans in pain.

Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (8) - 3 = 5
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (7) - 3 = 4
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (12) - 3 = 9
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (2) - 3 = -1

Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (18) - 3 = 15
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (12) - 3 = 9

After all the others, except Mambo and Djir have climbed up and down, Mambo is still trying, huffing and puffing.

Hey y'all. Just wanted to drop this in real quick, I'm not going to be able to post over this weekend.

Nature: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Lol you'd think I could at least get past post 1 before posting under the wrong profile.

Mambo lurched awake to the sound of a ratfolk retching, warm streams of vomit careened down Mambo’s head, dangerously close to her mouth and nose. Still the smell of the partially digested dinner sent pangs of hunger throughout her body. Not that you’d suspect she was from looking at her. Mambo was rotund, unusually so for her kind, and her skin was a putrid shade of green, the envy of all the other goblin women in her tribe. Tattooed on her face sits the graven image of a jackal, with the addition of a third eye in the middle of her forehead, leaving no doubt Mambo served the Mother of Monsters, liberator of the Barghests, Lamashtu.

Mambo read the room, while she could probably kill some of these big’uns there was likely a whole ship of them that would murder her for it. Instead she chose to help the ratfolk, not even considering he probably couldn’t understand her.

Mambo tried to help Djir to his feet and up to the deck, but the effort amounted to slight encouragement. Her thoughts drifted to the cold eggs the ork mentioned and her hunger pangs redoubled.

Nice! I also want ‘a thing’, but I don’t think Bards get it :)

Note to self - be good to Mama Mambo.

Always be nice to the people who feed you.

Yeah I have a decent cha so I can at least assist a check.

Eventually I will have a thing. Right now not so much. I can avoid drowning long enough for another PC to rescue me.

Nope never. Just so long I never need to make a swim or climb check.

@Mama Mambo: Str5? :O

Shhhhh....

So, a funny thing happened on the way to the privy!

Hello All!

Much appreciate the invite!

Glad you're here buddy.

Sexual assault is a line. Too much objectification is too much, if you've built your character around being a lech, sorry but no. The occasional comment is fine.

Mama Mambo ready to serve you for dinner!

No no no, see we have all goblins, halflings, gnomes ect. Except for one really tall half-ork. Then we make them the captain and instead of saying Aye aye captain, we say, "Yes my tallest!"

You know, idol chatter…

Sure!

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

I am saddened that the Strange Aeons game I was playing in died recently. So many failed attempts at that game.

Anyway you're right an over 70 year old song is a bit of a stretch, for your listening pleasure, Mambo No. 5 by Pérez Prado. XD

You know that song is old enough that people may not get the joke if you don't provide a link...

Good, lol. Honestly if only Brother MacLaren and Mad Marvin Dundlerock get it, I've accomplished my goal.

I'm done enough.

Pass over of fluff is done. Played with the idea of going witch instead but I probably won't do that so my submission is as complete as it gets. Probably need to buy some pots and pans tho.

Here's Delmoth's submission. I still need to give her a backstory pass. The crunch is done for the most part. I may giggle around some bits, probably equipment since I have 100 gold to spend.

Her role in the party is not to be a healer, she will buff, and blast with negative channel. She will also be a sneak, with a high stealth and decent slight of hand, eventually with invisibility. And she will bake everyone delicious mystery meat pies.
