"Percival, perhaps Mouse can keep them busy talking while you investigate their quarters invisibly. Gerain could be a lookout in animal form and warn you if either approaches. In the meantime I will prepare spells that reveal the truth and magic in case we need to question them".

I will add changes to my spell list tomorrow.

Marcus nods his head before walking off to chat up the suspected crew members.

Sir Percival, reminds Halstadt that the crew quarters are shared and that they need to find the location of the personal belongings and if possible cause a diversion big enough to get most of the crew out of the quarters. Quite a complex set of actions.

However, Sir Percival continues, we could create a sash with the image and bring those crew men to the sash, let them 'accidently' see the sash and gauge their reactions. If they implicate themselves in a conspiracy them we have them, if not them. Sir Percival lets Halstadt and Mouse know, that if they prefer the second option he will learn a spell which might help tomorrow.

"The second idea is probably better than lad. I am not sure I want to create a distraction so big it gains everyone's attention!


The next morning dawns grey and chill, the usual endless expanse of the sea shrouded in fog and mist. As the sun comes up, it begins to burn off the fog, revealing ahead of you the two ships of Lady Vaneo's small fleet, both docked beside a huge ship/platform, flying a number of flag's displaying the Pathfinder Society's Glyph of the Open Road.

The Sea Wyvern itself comes to dock 50 feet away from the Blue Nixie, Lavinia's own ship, and as it is tied on, rope ladders appear from the deck of the massive Pathfinder vessel, allowing access to it.

'You lot go on up and find the Lady, we'll see she gets docked properly,' Amella calls out, dressed in her finest blue coat and tri-corner hat, as she directs the crew.

Sorry for the delay! You arrive at a humongous Pathfinder vessel!

Marcus makes his way over to stand near the first-mate.

"This may be the distraction we were looking for", Hal murmurs to Gerain and Percival. "I will go up and find our employer and take care of proper docking".

Halstadt yells out in salute to the Captain, "Aye, aye Captain".

Halstadt makes his way to the rope ladder and begins to climb.


I have to ask, but am I losing you guys, or your interest? I know I've not been as good as I should have, various issues at home have been eating up my summer. Let me know if you want to continue. If its not many people, maybe I'll start up a Pathfinder AP, save me the time making the stat blocks and encounters etc. Either way, let me know how you'd like to proceed!


Posts are just coming too slow to get a flow established IMHO. One post from the DM since last Thursday isn't getting it done, I don't think, with all due respect of course. If we can't pick up the posting pace, I would be cool with just letting this one go.


Male Human Wizard (Diviner) 2

I'd like to continue as I rather like Sir Percival, but I understand you are having trouble posting regularly. I guess if you could say how many times you are able to post say 3/per week or whatever it might get us going again, but if you are only gonna be able to do 1/week then reluctantly I'd say the game is too slow to keep going.

If you do decide to start a Pathfinder AP, then I'd like you to consider Sir Percival as a character, obviously changed slightly for your game, but the willing wizard none the less.


Male Dwarf Cleric 8

I would like to continue. :-)


I'm thinking if I update monday, wednsday and friday I'll be able to keep it up and going. My dad is back on his feet now, but college is starting back up. So I'm leaning towards starting an AP proper, so my work is more running than precreating. Which I find much easier to do on the fly in RL games for some reason. You can of course keep or change characters as willed. Marcus? Fantast? Any thought?


Male Dwarf Cleric 8

If we switch gears I would like to keep Hal.


Male Human Rogue/7

I would like to keep Marcus as well.


I think I am going to bail on this one, guys. Thanks to you all and the DM for running us. It was brief but fun. I'm sure I will see you all around on the site!

Okay, that's fair enough! No sign of Fantast, or nightflier either. That leaves us with 3. Which I'm actually okay with, as smaller groups work slightly better in PBP without the neccesity to wait as long for everyone to catch up. So my remaining 3, I'm happy to go on, or with a few people down would you rather restart with an AP, but use the same characters, from level 1? Once you've decided I'll start immediately, posting at least every monday, wednsday and friday. In addition I'll try and have the posts always have some hook or question, specifically to prod towards action, its a weakness of PBPs that little questions and inputs slow the game down alot. What do you all think?

It's gonna be fun with a rogue, a cleric and a wizard....

You'll get some NPC muscle, or personal henchmen. If it's a fighter you've got an old spice party!

What AP would you do?


Male Human Rogue/7

What AP would you do? I could probably roll up a new character tonight and even be able to post if need be. Just need the parameters (points to build, traits, can we use stuff out of the APG, etc.).

Also, is there chances of posting more than once a day on the mon, wed, fri? I check the page several times a day to see if anything new is up. Just thinking that if we are in a battle...3 rounds in a week is going to really drag. Just curious. Just anxious to play.


Male Dwarf Cleric 8

I would keep Hal. I am happy to keep going with this current adventure or start a new AP whatever is less work for you GM Eoin. :-)


Male Human Wizard (Diviner) 2

I'm happy...would also consider as OK, doing an AP starting at 5th/6th...

it means we can skip all the really low level battles....

I'm doing that with my RL group, starting at 5th in Legacy of Fire...starting with the House of the Beast..

I think provided you start at the beginning of a new book, it hangs together quite well.


Okay, here's the deal: I'll start the third part or Rise of the Runelords. You'll need to level up to 7th level, and we will start in Magnimar in Varisia. It will be a few months after succesfully delivering Lady Vaneo to Arcadia, and returning, the ship's return skirts the north of Azlant and arrives in Magnimar. There the mayor hears of your heroic exploits and invites you to a dinner and job proposition. Your traits all work as they are so that shouldn't be a problem.

@Marcus: Battle's will definately be quicker, with three of you and running a pre-written adventure I should be able to move more often, as long as all of you respond, so the 3/week is just a bare minimum I aim for, I might reply more often, but I'll ensure things move along at least that often, unless your really having fun!

How does that sound all around? You'll receive a 7,000 gp stipend from the journey and can spend it in Magnimar in game. Otherwise level as needed and we'll start when your all ready!


Male Dwarf Cleric 8

Sounds good to me. I will get Hal ready when I get home tonight!


Male Human Rogue/7

Just so you know, I do not know the AP...I know what it is, but no nothing about it.

6th-1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

7th-1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I took an extra point to my hit point for each level instead of an additional rank for my skill. If this worked, my sheet should be updated. If you could look at it and make sure it's right. I did go back and take rapier (and switched the feat), like you suggested. If all is good, I'm ready.

You actually can't take Weapon Specialisation, as it's a fighter feat. I'd reccomend buying a +2 bonus for your rapier as soon as possible.


Male Dwarf Cleric 8

Hal is just about done. I just need to roll for HP (or are we doing average HP I don't remember) and spend Gold.

Should I get a +2 on my axe or take the Bane property? Looking at the above post I am thinking +2. :-)


Male Human Rogue/7

K...fixed it, sorry. I took rapid shot. We are not spending money now, correct?
