My apologies had some family issued come up didnt leave much headspace for a lot of other things...

the sailor Lily was addressing and barely wounding indeed seemed to be making a beeline for the edge of the ship only to have Aliyahs kick strike her perfectly in the back throwing their body into the railing on the deck. despite the pain they tried to clambor over the side leaping into the water below.

Aliyah and Lily can get an AoO against them if they wish.

Orange too decides to try and flee from the dangerous folk and their pet monster.

Jetsam may make an AoO against orange if they wish

The sailor to that is to the port bow side takes a wild swing at rtace as she flees torwards the front of the deck seeking to not get surrounded.
attack roll drunk: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13

Her attack while finally passable is easily deflected she spits out a curse as she moves away.

back torwards the aft end of the ship a large angry looking man emerges eys a bit bloodshot

knowledge local dc 13 to recognize

Aliyahpressed forward swinging a vicious hook at the drunken pirate in front of her.

punch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The woman responsible for the the initial alarm head snapped to the side a gleaming golden tooth flying out of her mouth as she crumpled to the deck knocked teh f%++ out.

sleep will save: 2d20 + 2 ⇒ (20, 2) + 2 = 24

Dejen tears into the pirate who immediately starts a high pitched screech flailing his arms trying to shoo the beast away murdering him. Tedros just misses with his blade As does Trace.

Jetsams blade cuts one of the dockhands from navel to neck just bad enough it looks fatal. He falls back. on of the few crew still standing cries out!

"Boss They are literally killing us up here!"

He then drops his club and dives off the deck swimming for the shore!

Lily go ahead and go.!

Lily hefted her dword dance making a very elaborate draw and the promptly sliced far short of her oponent still she had a point now.

for her fierce dsiplay lily cuaght the ey of two of the attackers, where the other ones tried to quickly club the others down.

Despite the obvious advantage to attacking ill prepared forces crawling up rope ladders onto a ship the clearly drunken pirates come no where close to hitting anyone. Not the ganged up Lily, not the little creature of Tedros Not Tedros or Trace. The only thing thatr might happen is someone catching a cold fromt eh breeze of all the whiffs.

PAarty up! Same rules for climbing.

Lilly then the bad guys!

For a split second she Lily saw the panic in the faces of several of the "sailors" on the vessel until one of the men. luaghed loudly.

"Your not port authority."

He stepped torwards her club in hand.

"Knock em out! maybe our buyers might be interested in Human cargo.:

He called to the folks on the boat... the girl who spotted the party to ythe bow and port side smacked her club against the deck and hollared...

"wake up the boss down there!"

She cried out loudly.

club subdual black: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 4 = 14

club subdual light blue: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 4 = 11

The two thugs who advanced on Lily and swung missed. perhaps too careful in pulling their punches to not telegragh their attacks. the others closese with the nets to twy and keep the boarding party off the boat.

PARTYS UP

Lily Is up. then the baddies then everyone else

Round 1

as you close you can see the sides of the boat have large boarding nets tossed over the side. its a dc 7 climb check to get up them half speed, dc 12 to get up them full speed. failure of 5 or more you fall back into your boat.

Hey Ross! Theres a boat comingup portside with some armed folk!

A Feminine voice called out from near the bow of the ship. another voice raspy and in the stern called one....

Theres one 'ere in the back too!"

[dice=Initiative]1d20+7

[ooc] SO th3e concensus was 2 boats? 1? going in loud and proud or quietly? [/occ]

Iswear i used this once before and didnt have near the troubles i am having now. igranted access tedros

try the link now i think i fixed it

The ship whould have been pretty much empty it was easy enough to hire one or two boats to row out to the Nixie, (5 silver per boat, if you wanted to hire men to row for you it would be 12 silver per boat)

Its not the best map im working on finiding better ones feel free to create a token and add to th emap.

The docks were busy..... though at this time of day they were always a bit busy. It didnt take long for them to locate their quarry and as was probably expected the Blue Nixie was indeed moored out in the harbor a little ways away from the docks.

One of the older dockhands nodded torwards the edge of on of the docks and mentioend that the fellow their rented out smaller craft to use in the bay relatively cheap no questions asked....

@Nassor

You gazed out at the blue Nixie and spotted some moverment... so there was at least one man aboard the vessel... and that was strange normally an impounded ship would be well empty.

I would certainly think Trace would know the general docks so yeah he would where they impound ships

a days rest for spell prep is reasonable and no you are not on a clock per sey but.... her creditors are only so patient so you got a few days if you need it.

Any other questions I assume you folk are ready to go be heroes?

@Tedros

"The docks can certainly be a rough place. and well this vark charector is clearly trying to cheat me. As for their level of violence or their skill in combat i just dont know. Its why i am hiring several of you and not just one person though. You all sound ver capable from what ive heard of you through my contacts.

The flustered and worried young noblewoman states.

@Lily THe name definitely tickles something in your memory .. unfortnately not enough to recall exactly what you heard and where. definitely nothing from your contacts in the merchants district. Perhpaps if you asked questions in one of the other districts... [/ooc]

Her face darkens at Jetsam's question.

"He.... hasnt been home lately. Im getting worried but not overly worried since our parents died he has been hanging out a lot with ... seedier elements. "

She steeled her face for a moment.

He is a worry for a later time however. Getting our houses finances in order first."

he did and as far as she knew it was at the docks. :) that was three days ago

you would know it is standard procedure to place impounded ships im a special moored area. whether or not her ship counts as impounded is unknown

That is an excellent question. When last she visited the ship it was docked. roll a knowledge local. you are well familiar with the docks

@Lily My fathers ring? its was made from gold with the family crest as a signet. It has a stylized griffon over a field of blue

@Trace] The Jade Ravens name is one he had heard of, bowever he cant quite recall anything of note about them.

Lady V anderborens parents were known for their adventerous spirit the have traveled abroad extensively and done a lot of exploration. they have set up several small plantations along hte coast and there was a rumored coloby being set up on some far off island.

Lavinia's parents were taking a pleasure cruise on their newest ship, something of a 2nd honeymoon when suddenly she ship caught fire in a quick and fierce manor. There were no survivors and the ship sank

The name Sellar Vark is an egotistical thug and bully. He has somehow gotten put in a position of some authority under the harbormaster and its certainly gone to his head.

@Nassor
"Just my brother Vanthus though... hes not been home of late.
you can tell from her tone there is a small bit of worry there, but perhaps no more than of a slightly older sister worrying over a younger sibling

invite?

Vark and his men have to be up to something on my ship i know it. I saw the panic in his eyes when i tried to board my vessel. I need to know what they are up and to find my fathers ring. I dont believe Vark is one to respond to diplomacy or logic... I need someone to speak his language which is where you folk come in. Unaffiliated with the house you can find out what he is using my ship for and perhaps even better recover the money iu paid him and my fathers signet ring. I can pay each of you 50 gold now if you accept and a further 150 gold once i have access to the family vaults."

Kora returned leading the group to a dining hall where there would be wine and a light repast.

"Lady Lavinnia will be with you all shortly."

She began excusing herself. The room was well adorned the table old but gleaming made from a dark oak. As the party makes their way into the dining hall five figures emerge from a room at the end of the hall and file past. dc knowledge local

a jaunty male half-elf dressed in leather armor and armed with ahaldozen daggers of different shapes, a dark-skinned dwarf with a sour expression dressed in green and brown robes and clutching a large curved spear, an attractive but haughty-looking woman dressed in dark purple robes and with a tattoo ofa crescent moon on one cheek,A large burly looking half orc female with tattoed arms wielding a large spike mace in dark tanned hides with long dark hair and daintily jutting upwards tusks and lastly, a tall and handsome man dressed in polished breastplate carrying a bastard sword.

The man in the breastplate stops for a moment studying the group for a moment then speaks.

"Hmm. You must be the help Lavinia’s bringing in to do the chores. Best of luck to ya!”

He then turns and hurries after the others.

Vanderboren manor is located in the eastern section of the merchant district; the seven foot tall stone wall that surrounds the estate is impossible to miss, as is the towering gothic, three story tall manor. Leering gargoyles and capering nymphs festoon the eaves of the manors roof and a host of trees and bushes give the manor a nice buffering calm from the rest of the city around it. The gates are unlocked and no one bothers them until someone knocks on the front door. Several moments later the same halfling that gave you the missive greets you. Kora Whistlegap thanks the Party for arriving more or less on time and askes them to wait in the atrium the Lady Landerboren will be with them shortly.

Feel free to introduce yourselves to one anotehr

I think i can present you with an opportunity uniquely suited to your skills. Please inform the carrier of this letter of the response to this invitation, and i hope to be speaking to you soon."

I will still consider charector concepts if you have it basically worked out with a good background and reason to be hired. as goes without saying if i missed you speak up! :)

this was a 3.5 edition module im updating for pathfinder they didnt have traints in 3.5 so yeah the district feat is a trait my bad

I try to do initiative the standard way. If things bog down due to it being the interwebs I may group ithem. if that happens i would let you switch out the feat for free

you can reroll we were all privates once

sure substitute whomever feels apropriate

The first half is pretty awuatic about level 6 plus water becomes less and less in play. I would probably let you at around that point acquite a new animal companion of the appropriate level....

dieties

So for more information here is a list of the dieties and demogods of the realm any questions dont hesistate to ask me. on hte boards or vis Pm.

Evil alignments are not disallowed but this is a co-operative game by nature so if you really want to play that super EVIL bad guy i may allow it, but hust dont be shocked if you get too crazy somebig big powerful holy folks might show up to boop your nose with a case of Death. and please please please dont try to kill your party.

you can use racial adjustments

I feel like a Savage Tide game that didn't get very far was one of my very first PF games. And I do enjoy rolling for stats. I think the abyss plays a prominent roll in this AP, so maybe an abyssal bloodrager?

~~ My mother speaks of a black star that burned over the shipwreck where she found me. I was not born clean, but it was I who chose to break the seal. It wears my face when I kill, but it is no longer me. ~~

[dice=Str]10 + 2d4
[dice=Con]10 + 2d4

[dice=Cha]10 + 1d6
[dice=Dex]10 + 1d6

[dice=Wis]14 - 1d6
[dice=Int]14 - 1d6

Not the most constitutional of barbs, and that 17 strength is way overkill, but not too shabby. Hey TheNine: Bloodragers were made before PF Unchained. Could I use the unchained rage instead of the chained rage for my bloodrager? It's just a lot easier to manage the stat changes.

Unchained is fine.

and yes there is an abyss trip that to die for planned

Ok, I would be interested in doing this as kind of a swashbuckling Magus with the Kensai archetype.

Main Dex and Int

[dice=Dex]10+2d4

[dice=Int]10+2d4

Secondary: Str and Con

[dice=Str]10+d6

[dice=Con]10+d6

Weak Wis and Cha

[dice=Wis]14-d6

[dice=Cha]14-d6

Well, my abilities are now suggesting I consider something else. Is there any chance I qualify for a reroll here?

Sure thing!
