Rosanne's page

I'd say we could really use some muscle as our 5th player. Most of us are skill monkeys with arcane pretty well covered.

I've had the procedure to fix my heartbeat and am now back to posting fairly regularly.

Are we looking for more players again?

Rosanne does her best to help her Captain. Bringing up the many opportunities for advancement that come from joining a new crew early in a ships life.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Another +2 for Aid another.

Rosanne emerges and looks around. "You had a little brawl while I was 'tied up'?" She asks in a disappointed voice. After checking to make sure Earthsong was unharmed of course. :)

Sorry, I've been back at the Hospital having a number of tests and it's knocked all the energy out of me.

Please bot me as needed. Should be back on my feet tomorrow.

Sorry for being so quiet. Along with my own health problems an emergency came up last Thursday with my Mother. She's just had a hip replacement and had severe problems with her medication.

She was rushed back to hospital and thankfully things improved quickly. So she's back home resting again.

Almost ready to return. Thanks for your patience. Sad to see we've lost two characters. With our current group we definitely need some muscle in the mix.

I'm in New Zealand. Aside from the Cyclone battering the top of the North island it's nice and mild here. :)

Turns out I was overly optimistic about adjusting to a new regime of medication. It's taken me a week to get it sorted in a way that doesn't leave me a zombie.

I've spent most of last week napping and lacking any energy to do anything.

Happily I'm feeling better and regaining my energy after working out what pills to take with each other, and when to take them. I'll start posting again tomorrow. I have a few things to catch up on.

Thanks for your patience.

Back home and on medication which seems to be calming things down. Should be back in a couple of days.

Thanks for your patience.

My health is very bad at the moment I'm afraid. Please bot me if I'm taking too long to post. Hopefully the new medication will settle things down.

Aid another on Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Holy s&$$! Just made it.

Finally got things worked out for Rosanne.

She's picked Bloodline intensity as her Mythic Archmage Path ability.

Taking the Toughness feat to make her a little more durable. :)

3rd level Sorcerer is the big one for her. Aquatic Adaptation (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain a swim speed of 30 feet. At 9th level, you gain the amphibious special quality and develop a fat layer that grants a +1 natural armor bonus and resist cold 5. When immersed in water, you gain blindsense 30 feet. At 15th level, you gain a swim speed of 60 feet and blindsense of 60 feet in water.

Rosanne has been quiet, still trying to wrap her mind around the changes in her life. From a shanghaied captive plotting for her life to now being a ships officer was a big jump.

Adjusting to thinking about crewing the ship and making a name for it took some work. She cuddled up to Earthsong and just listened for now.

Rosanne is First mate for now. Once we get to know the newbies better she will happily step down and let Lady Payne take the role. :)

Sorry for being quiet. Technical problems my end make posting very slow. I'll get my Mythic level sorted soon. As Rosanne is looking to go to Arcane Trickster it's a choice between the Mage and the rogue paths ATM.

"A moment my dear." Rosanne murmurs in Earthsong's ear. "Looks like we have some crew to check out first. This bunch look like they want to be officers so we'd better give them a proper look."

"Of course." Rosanne smiles back, looking around to see what the state of prospective crewmembers was?

While still looking around warily Rosanne seems more relaxed and open when with Earthsong.

Rosanne follows along with Earthsong, looking around curiously. "We've got the loot from the Grindlow's Captain. More than enough there to cover costs. Worth spending the loot to be a bit safer from that bastard Harrigan!" She whispers back to Toby.

She thinks a bit, "Make sure you flash some of it about as well. Nothing draws crew like some good loot!"

We did pick up some loot at the Grindylow's.
5 Silver buttons (10 gp)
Scrimshawed Shark Skull (250 gp)
ivory walrus tusk set with gold with a scrimshawed map of the Shackles (400 gp)
harp made from the jaw of an orca set with pearls (500 gp)
jawbone of a shark carved with scrimshaw images of a vast octopus eating whales and containing a dozen silver and gold rings hammered into it (250 gp)
huge hooked tooth from some colossal sea creature with a seaweed plugged
cavity containing six pearls worth (450 gp)
8 silver ingots (160 gp)
There you go, covered. :).

"Hmmm. How about the Blood price?" Is Rosanne's gory suggestion. Not completely serious. "Or The Dancing devil if you want something more stylish."

Rosanne looks at Toby seriously. "We need more crew, any thoughts on a safe place to find some? Remember that bastard Harrigan will be looking for this ship!"

She smiles a little, "Might want to think of a new name as well."

Tobias offered the position to Rosanne, because he's known her the longest, and she's a mean MF. But we'll see how Lady Maurine does.

Rosanne is grateful for the offer but is realistic enough to know she wouldn't be the best for the job. :)

She backs Toby as Captain as he's handled it well.

Sorry I'm so quiet. Hellishly busy ATM.

Rosanne has some Profession Sailor, but from what I see Lady Maurine would make a better First mate.

As Ardym has some Knowledge Geography maybe he can be the Sailing master?

We can cover some of the officers with our allies in the crew NPC's.

Rosanne can cover Quartermaster. I'll shift a skill point into Appraise to reflect her being able to keep the books.

Now would be a good time to sort out the other ships officers as well.

The pirate crew

Rosanne doesn't have any of the skills needed to be an Officer yet. She will be going Sorcerer from now on so will be able to cover Ships Mage with a few more levels.

Rosanne smiles at Earthsong. "It was a touch hectic on the island wasn't it?" She looks the Druid over. "Still, what I saw of you was someone I think I'd like to get to know better.".

She leans in a gives Earthsong a light kiss. Awaiting her response. :)

Rosanne will take the Skull scroll, and a MW dagger if no one else is taking it. Not much else for her there.

Rosanne will be going to Arcane Trickster eventually. Spells & Rogue skills are her priority.

Really I'd like to see form of healing & some muscle. :)

hp: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Level in Sorcerer. Will +1.

New Spell Disrupt Undead.

Skills +1. Knowledge Arcana. Perception. Profession Sailor. Perception.

crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
damage + PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Rosanne puts another bolt into the Queen. "Fipps, grab my dagger!" She calls to the weaponless man.

Hoping that killing the Queen will end the summoning Rosanne snaps a shot at her.

crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
damage + PBS + SA: 1d8 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2, 1) = 8 Well f&+% you!

As usual the RNG is trying to screw me.

Only a couple of hours to go to New Year down here. Have a good one everybody.

crossbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13

Even flatfooted I think that misses?

Merry Christmas all.

Ok. My shot was at the Whale then. And still missed I guess. :(

OK. so Earthsong is trying to free Sandara & Flipps. I'll try and keep the Lacedons off her by shooting at them.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

That will miss I'm sure.

does this work?

Yes that works thanks.

Also I was nauseated for 3 rounds. Am I still throwing up?

I still cannot see the map?

Map doesn't seem to be working? It shows up for a fleeting second and then vanishes.

Rosanne backs away hurriedly, looking for something to use against this thing.

Come on in Rosanne. Blow your save so we can start setting up a proper TPK :-)

And done!

fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Trying not to spend her lunch Rosanne takes a 5' step back with the others.

disable device?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Once the trap is pointed out to her Rosanne will try to disable it. "Three passages? I suggest we take the leftmost first."

Old dungeon trick. Follow the left hand wall.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 Schise!

Rosanne nods, "I agree. We have two routes but they are defending both and pulling back when we kill a few of them. Likely to defend their chieftain in the most defensible area."

Keep heading in and east I think.

Is Torgil still in the party?

If he is an NPC.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

I think he's the only one with that skill.

"Best to end them now before they recover." Rosanne agrees. "But let us watch out they clearly are trying to draw us in deeper." She adds with a look around the tangle of dank caves.

Crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Crossbow + PBS Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7 Of course!
damage + PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Rosanne spins at Earthsong's cry and puts a bolt deep into the Grindylow attacking her. "How unsporting of these things!" She says dryly.

crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12 Sigh.

Rosanne snaps off a shot but it glances off the water and misses.

Rosanne follows along, straining to hear any change in the sounds of water on the walls to would signal danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 Add +2 for traps.

intelligence: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

"They want us to follow. Perhaps we should try the other passage? I wouldn't like more to come up behind us while we're dealing with these."

Rosanne again shoots at the Grindylow attacking Jacques.

Crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Her shot deflected by the water.

Rosanne shoots at the Grindylow attacking Jacques.

crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
damage + PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Rosanne has Precise shot. If it is attacking Jacques is it flat footed to Rosanne?

Rosanne loads her crossbow and steps back behind the martial types.

Moves behind Toby and Earthsong.
