Hello y'all! I want apologize for not posting as much as I used to do. Work has been very busy but I had planned to play a lot of catch up today since it was my day off. However, this morning my mom called me this morning around 8:30 am to let me know that our dog Deedee was bitten by a snake last night (I live separately from my parents in my own house but we had Deedee before I moved out). She called me about an hour or so ago to let me know that the vet thinks Deedee will make it but she'll be swollen up a good bit for a while. The snake bit her on her upper lip. But she seems to be doing okay from what my mom said. Deedee is on a great deal of medicines to help the swelling and all. We have to take her back his Friday so the vet can check her again just to be safe. So I'm emotionally drained a bit so I apologize. I'll try and post sometime tonight hopefully. Again I just wanted to let everyone know. Thank y'all for understanding.
Same here as well.
One thing I'm trying to figure out is if you can generate capital for someone else but I don't see it in the rules anywhere.
Been busy with work lately so I have had a whole lot of time to work on it. Just trying to figure out how to do the rolls and basically get started is what is giving me problems. Wish they had included a detailed example of how to do this. I know that Wizards did that in some of their sourcebooks. At least I'm not calculating Thac0!
Still trying to figure out how the downtime rules works.
It's cool. Hope things get better for you. Take your time.
Undertow: Sirith thought for a moment then smiled. Prakar noticed her smile. Uh-oh. I know that smile. The undine nodded her head and said, I agree with this arrangement. The goddess will enjoy this turn of events. I like it. Then I guess our business is complete then?
Undertow: Mentally cursing the Librarian, Sirith was now concerned. For one thing if the fool had gotten both the Hellknights and Golden Eagles involved, it would be a nightmare. If the Absalom Guards were also involved then it would be a disaster! She could understand the Fist not speaking too much ill of his master. Still... Well let's hope he hasn't spoken to any of those groups about this. Do you know where he went to or do you have a vague idea? Anything to help us out in finding him would be appreciated.
Undertow: No drinks thank you, the undine said raising a hand. Yes that's pretty much it although I'll leave it to Amara to fill in the gaps for me later but yes we are quite...annoyed by your master's hasty and misinformed incompetence. Now tell us...who else has the Librarian told besides us?
Undertow: Prakar began to flex his washboard stomach muscles to indicate that they were serious. Indeed. Neither of us are pleased and when I'm not pleased Prakar isn't...well you get the idea. But of course this doesn't have to result in bloodshed. Like she said, why did your master try to manipulate our temples into being against one another?
Sirith's Temple: They would be the best plan so let's get going, Sirith said as Prakar followed close behind her ready to move at once.
Sirith's Temple: Sirith listened carefully to everything the shapeshifter said. When she was finished, the bard rocked back and forth on her heels, thinking, and then she spoke, I see. I've heard tales of agents of the Golden Eagles working undercover as slavers while secretly freeing them but I've never thought they were real. Until now...and I agree. I don't like the idea of two temples of Calistria being pitted against one another if that was indeed his plan all along. If the captain is indeed doing what you say, it was good you came to me as soon as you did as I would be most open to the ideas you have put forth not to mention you averted me in causing some internal problems for my Golden Eagle friends and I don't think they would have been happy about that. Also another thought does come to mind as well: there is the possibility that the Librarian may have told others besides us. Three groups come to mind: the. Pathfinder Society, the Golden Eagles, and the Hellknights. All three would have a stake in this and it would be best if we speak with the Librarian as soon as possible. When do we leave? And Prakar will come with us. And luckily he's wearing pants this time! Still no shirt though...
Sirith's Temple: Laughing a bit the undine attempted to calm her down, Calm down! I was testing you. I know that the true Amara would be so protective of her true form. Along with everything else you said. What can I do for you? Is this about the captain of that ship? I'm hoping to send a message to my Golden Eagle friends about him.
Sirith's Temple: Smiling a bit, Sirith nods of course. Yes I did mention it to her. And no there is nothing wrong with you visiting me. Still...I'm curious...since you are a shapechanger what is your true form? If you are who you say you are then let me see your true form. And don't worry I don't plan on telling anyone.
Sirith's Temple: Sirith was puzzled by the stranger but she was bit annoyed by the rudeness of the entrance nonetheless. What is going on here? And who wishes to see me?
Sirith stretches her muscles a bit before saying, Its best we get moving as well. Turanerra, I'll see about coming by tomorrow late afternoon if possible. And Sakaan, it was nice seeing you again and thank you for agreeing to give that message to the ship's captain. Come Prakar let's be off. The two said there goodbyes and headed back to their temple, stopping by to leave a few silvers in a beggar woman's cup. I really much get in touch with my Eagle Knight friends. I'm sure that they'll love to hear about that captain.
Still I don't like the fact that the other man with the captain was a slave. I could try and bargain with the captain to free that poor soul. She jotts down the address and directions to her temple and asks the lizardfolk to give this to the captain when he sees him, in case he doesn't come back out onto the docks.
Sorry to hear that Captain. I was hoping to treat you tonight with a relaxing massage accompanied by soft music at my temple, the Heart of the Ocean's Passion. You can even bring your friend there...what was your name sir? I'm afraid I didn't catch it. She turned and looked at the captain's servant, waiting for a reply.
Sirith decided to aid her friend and besides she was interested in a tour as well. Indeed Captain Gorn it would be an honor if you give us all a tour of your vessel. Why even Dolgrin here was quite interested in your ship, even though he's a dwarf and most dwarves have no desire to be on a ship.
I hope things get better for you!
I was going to see what the others were going to say first but that's good too.
I hope everything's alright.
So has anyone seen our GM around lately?
Hooray! It's adventure time!
Well well, the captain of honor has arrived. The undine began humming a tune as she watched the dwarven smith begin talking to the captain.
Sirith smiles and nods. I'll do what I can, Turanerra. And you're welcome. I might not be an artist, unless you count music, but I do have a great appreciation for the arts.
Sirith then remembered what Fist had said earlier. Fist you mentioned earlier that the Librarian should had gotten the Hellknights involved. Would they be interested in aiding us? Then she said to Turanerra, Art classes? Just curious here but would you be interested in having me model for your students? Now before you say no I would like to add that I'm willing to do it for free. Prakar whispered to Dolgrin, Ha! She's really a softhearted person. Once she turned down an offer of diamonds and Mithral bars worth 9,000 gold pieces to model for an Andoren sculptor doing it for three-fourths less than that. The sculpture is however worth three times the amount the artist offered for Sirith to pose, or so I've been told.
Sirith listened to Turanerra as she regained her composure. Its possible she wanted you to stop it. Maybe she made the painting as a way to tell you that you were to fight evil. She probably foresaw or knew that the ship was being used for evil and wished for that evil to be stopped. Maricelli must surely have been a good person. I guess it wouldn't hurt to visit one of your sermons. Besides I might find one of Maricelli's paintings and buy it from you and put it in the Heart of the Ocean's Passion to signify a friendship between us.
I see. How about we pay you 50 gold pieces more than him? Or would you prefer to wait and see if he'll take it first? We could work out a deal.
Agreed. That is true Master Smith. You'll have to excuse Prakar as he is bit...naive about the world. So forgive his...nonsense. Sirith made a quick glare at the half-orc before returning to the dwarf. All we wish to do is see if this true. Besides, a Gray Corsair friend of mine will be arriving real soon and you know how the people of Andoran are about slavery. We just wish to keep things from escalating into bloodshed. Would be bad for business if that happened. Besides how much did he pay for his...product?
Sirith thought for a moment. Yes but I think it's illegal to smuggle slaves from elsewhere and sell them here.
Sirith looked at Dolgrin and Turanerra. I see. Then maybe it's fate that brought us all here then. It's possible some divine hand guided us here. I have heard rumors stating that the ship's captain is involved in illegal slave smuggling as in smuggling slaves into Absalom to sell.
Believe me I've been trying to get him to put pants on!! Sirith said in reply as she glared at Prakar. The half orc innocently whistled before clearing his throat. Yes the blade has served me well. I'm honored to wield such a fine and magnificent weapon. Quickly continuing the conversation before said anything about his lack of pants, the half orc added, So what are delivering to the captain of this ship?
As they neared the Broken Bough, Sirith smiled at those talking. Ah! Dolgrin, Lilandria, and Turanerra! It is a pleasure to see that you're all well! How is your businesses doing? Do you have business with the captain of the Broken Bough as well? Prakar smiles at Dolgrin. Ah it is good to see you again Master Smith Dolgrin. I hope you've had many customers lately as I have highly recommended you to as many people as I can for it is the least I can do since you forged this mighty blade for me.
Very well. We will accompany you Sakaan. Both the undine and half-orc followed close behind Sakaan and Osik as they traveled to the Lizard Pier.
Well since the captain of the ship seems to be hiding...something he shouldn't be doing maybe we should pay him a visit. Since he's clearly committing a crime by smuggling slaves through Andoran, I'm sure the Gray Corsairs would like to be kept informed of this. And I agree Sakaan, subtlety is the path we must take here. I could have Prakar guard you in case things...go south. And it might be wise if I'm there as well since I can use my abilities over water to assist us. Even though slavery is...unfortunately legal in Absalom, smuggling them into into Absalom is illegal although I doubt the leaders of Absalom will do anything even if they do draw the ire of Andoran. Andoran wouldn't dare attack well for obvious reasons. The obvious reasons she spoke of were the remains of dozens of failed sieges throughout the years to take the island. Everyone had tried it from Qadria to Cheliax to would be warlords to even dragons! All had failed to take Absalom and it was doubtful that Andoran wanted to be added to that list of failed conquerors.
Ah I see now. This information would be quite useful to the Golden Eagles and Gray Corsairs. I appreciate you telling me this. Even in Absalom, such activity is illegal. Which means he might be working for someone more powerful. I'll keep that in mind. In fact, I'll try and get an appointment set up to meet with her real soon. There's much that we need to discuss. As she said this she happened to see the lizardfolk Sakaan coming. Ah Sakaan! A pleasure seeing you here! How are you doing? And how's your business doing?
Tell me Esha how is your mistress doing these days? You should tell her to come visit. As a fellow priestess of Calistria it would be good to know what my fellow priestess is doing. When the nameless librarian spoke she listened, before nodding her head. Ah I see. Well, I've heard rumors that the captain of that ship would prefer his secret stays secret. And somehow he has a connection to me that I do not know of so I wish to find out what it is.
Okay. And sorry for not posting yet. I tried last night but somehow paizo went down and I was unable to post. I'm at work and my break ends soon. I might be able to post one before it ends though.
Trying to figure out how to do he organization in my quick stats.
Sirith smiled and bowed to the Nameless Librarian nodding her head in agreement. That would be wise. It is better to share information with other like minded friends. I'll have my abbot Ilana fix you some tea if you like. Or we could get right down to business. Sirith and Prakar led them into the temple, although the half-orc then stood just inside next to door to guard it.
Sirith had heard of rumors that the captain of Broken Bough had some sort of secret that they didn't want to be known. The undine was curious but most of all greatly interested. Her curiosity had served her well in the past, most of the time unless you count the time she accidentally walked into some Hellknights torturing a Steel Talon knight from Andoran, which then led to an attack by some medusa crime lord followed by everyone getting caught in the middle of a blood feud between an ogre mage cultist and efreet sorceress. That was...not a good day considering she had lost most of her hair and her skin had been turned turned pink! Cost a good bit to find a wizard to undo everything. Before leaving she put her abbot friend in charge while she was gone. As she exited the Ocean's Passion followed by Prakar, she noticed Esha as well the tiefling Fist and the tiefling's master. Ah I see some of my friends have arrived, she said with a smile as she skipped down the steps of her temple. What brings the protege of my fellow priestess of Calistria as well as the Nameless Librarian here to my steps? Would it be that you are also seeking to learn more of the Broken Bough just as I do? And Prakar! Put on some damn pants! Her half-orc bodyguard and apprentice shrugged as he paid her command no heed as he came up behind her wearing nothing save a loincloth.
It's cool! I actually like it where it is now. Excellent choice btw! And sorry y'all for just now posting. Busy days at work. I'm off tomorrow so I'll be able to do some work on the wiki and put up some quick stats here.
I like it, too! Very good idea on putting the temple near three districts. This brings a good bit of foot traffic from three districts.
I looked at the map a bit more and I'm actually likening where you put it as it'll receive a good bit of visitors from nearby districts.
