Seeing a Sun split in a sailing game: 15
Dodging Meteorites almost immediately after the sun split: 12

I was half-expecting a kraken/sea-dragon to pull Gunny overboard or something...


F Exotic Elf TBA

Oh, flamin' heck!

Sorry, I just thought some one had to say it....>_>...

Gee, an' t'is another character who has the Surf-board ridin' skills too boot. :P

Lizardfolk

(Hides his javelins since they can't stop a rouge sun xD)

I half expected some sort of angry see monster or a wave but this.... is a O-MY-GAWD-STEER-THIS-FRIGGEN-BOAT-FASTERZORS moment.

Lol nicely done >=D

Start rolling captain we needs some uber ship steering skills here! xD


Male Half-elf, aquatic Swashbuckler 3

Well, y'know, I can steer pretty well, but my dice say I had a mishap. This might end badly.

In other news, I think I might live. I'm pretty good at swimmin'.

Hee hee. Well, you got another chance to get back up, when Round 2 starts anyway. Or someone can assist you. Which is likely.

Stormwrack has loads of rules for swimming though which is pretty sweet.

EDIT: ooooo I just noticed that was a critical failure, oh ya lets get out the special fun for that.


Lizardfolk

thats no good >.<; the dm noticed the crit fail~ xD Na i didn't see it until you said so too. So what happens next? :O Or should i be saying 'Captain Overboard now?' xD

Liberty's Edge

I introduced 'karma' points just a second ago, just a small house rule I wanted to toss in. Anytime you roll a natural 20 you can bank what I call a karma point, and use it to act out of turn to do minor heroic deeds, or maybe reroll a failed skill check etc. I used Garth's in the IC thread and you cam see a basic example of how it works.

If any of you earn them, just keep track of how you earned it, and how many you have. I usually say the are good for an encounter, but in this game I may let you keep them longer and use them when needed for dramatic effect.

The only catch is, you can't dictate what happens, you just say you want to use them, and I'll add in realistically what can be done. That's only to prevent an old player I had that tried to do really off the wall, and impossible, feats with them.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot make an organic flamethrower with a stick, Fire Ants, and some Sovereign Glue.

Almost. I was also going to look up possible unconscious tables. But decided to go easy, it's only round 1.

One Karma points: Very nice. =)

Two: Home Made flamethrower made from the above, Instant classic and sounds like someone either pulled that off or REALLY tried to convince you the it could work lol xD

Pshaw! Of course not! Ants is teh completely wrong way to go!

Everyone knows that's what you use Fire-beetles for!

(^_^)

I too, do like this idea and will be happy to play and experiment with the 'Karma point' system.

Much cheers and giggles to every one.

@ DM:

Just to give you a heads up i'll be busy for most of the day today. I will try and check in as often as i can. Probably going to be busy for the next 16-20 hrs >.<;

OK.


F Exotic Elf TBA

So...to work out the unfortunate Suny's HP I just have to know is it random dice rolls for every level? Or is first level always considered to have maximum number?

So, for totally random we get:2d8 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (8, 6) + (3) + 3 = 20

For max first we get: 8 + 1d8 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ 8 + (7) + (5) + 3 = 23

Minus 14 points of damage we get,

1)20-14=6

OR

2)23-14=9

Awaiting DM's comment.

I mentioned earlier in the recruit thread or OOC that HP was max. Yours should be 25 total.

Damn, been really busy lately and didn´t have time to post or check. Now little bit late and advanced little bit... but hopefully not so bad plus thanks god my rolls were able to save me in most parts

*bows* Thank'e kindly DM.

It seems I am destined to fail my balance checks, with a +9 too.

On the other hand, I happen to notice things pretty well.

That sucks >.<; the dice roller is especially hateful today it seems. =/


Male Half-elf, aquatic Swashbuckler 3

I really hope I just slide off the deck or something. That way I'm not 100% boned, and so on and so forth. I mean, I am aquatic, so that should give some help soon, I'm bettin'.

Liberty's Edge

Wow Cap, those dice sure don't like you standing up! If the surgeon wants to help you out I believe he did roll a 20 and can act in your behalf to avoid any especially bad results.


Female Half-elf Ranger 2/Paladin 1

I hate to say this, but I - the player - have no actual idea what Stormfire is. I just googled it, and got nothing useful. (Unless a P-106 from the Star Wars universe is shooting at us...)

So what exactly is stormfire, and what do we do to keep it from 'outbreaking'? I've got some clues from Willpower's narration, but it's clear that I personally have rolled a 2 on my Knowledge-Forgotten Realms Nature check...


Lizardfolk

I believe its in stormwrack, but per the honor system ^^; i'm not going to activly look it up. Good luck


male Half Giant by way of a firbolg and a human bar 1 fighter 1

For. Real life storm fire try googling st. Elmos fire


Lizardfolk

Quiet weekend! xD Hopefully everyone is doing alright ^^

It is from Stormwrack, There's no way to stop it that I can see, but it hasn't fully manifested yet, which means it may just be a bad omen. If I roll a 20% chance next round it will be full fledged Stormfire, it usually lasts a few rounds and then dissipates.


Male Half-elf, aquatic Swashbuckler 3

Hey, Will. I haven't posted yet because I need to know what happened to me on that 1. Other than that, I'm ready to go.


Lizardfolk

I'd lend you a hand if I could Captain, but th only crit I got was for a roll that wasn't appropriate at the time lol. So its either upto the DM's dastardly mind (~_^), Kyre or the Surgeon to decide.

Good luck! =/

Ya that's OK. I had a busy weekend, but I was hoping the ships doc would post and save you from going overboard :) I'll give him until tonight to see.

It would be bad timing to go overboard now, what with the things boarding the ship and all.

Did I miss a Kyre crit roll too? man I better pay more attention.


F Exotic Elf TBA

I feel like posting an apology for falling and banging the character up when we need "All hands" as it were.

So, yeah, very sorry about that folks. <_<


Male Human Cleric lvl 3

Oh sorry! Sometimes I can be absolutely blind but yes! I will be helping our captain... but of course there is praise to be paid in future... all this Evil stuff and so on is not cheap :P

So yes, I will help :) *gets his contract plus blood pencil up for contract*

Jus' remember Mr Merdiota,

Whut? Hey I'm good, but I in't never said I were nice. (^_~)

Pretty sure you missed my action post with the rolls on friday. Where do I pick up? I would like to assist in the fight and I am on the deck.

Olek, if I did, sorry, but you can feel free to act in round 3 and assist on either the front, middle, or rear decks. All have creatures there attacking the deck crew.


Lizardfolk

Is a profession check a full round action to steer the ship? Since the captain is going to be distracted its upto Finn and Kai to keep the wheel and fight the beasties off.

Just wanted to know since i don't see much for clarification on that on the skill itself. Dm's call! xD

Because if its a move action I might be able to break off long enough to put a Javelin in 1 attacker at a time. But if not then i'll have to figure something else out.

Hrm, I don't see why you can't hurl a javelin if needed and still man the wheel this round.


Lizardfolk

Thats what I was hoping to hear! >=)

Liberty's Edge

Can't wait to see the "I have an undead army" reactions.


Lizardfolk

Kai doesn't like it, mainly because they stink of saltwater and their presence is unsettling. xD But it is indeed funny to have a mini-army on our boat >.>; Even if they have like 4 Hp they still can be meat shields of sorts lol.

Hey anything that takes a hit for us works

In other news

DM and Druids:
you know you guys might want to think about rescuing the nord and his pet raven from Avion you can probably tell what his beliefs are with a easy check. Druids are like holy men where he comes from. Or leave it and let.Avion turn me wil up to you guys

Finn: Not sure I follow you. Save you and your bird?

I believe what Finn means is that he may become corrupt by Avion's 'mission' and perhaps if situations in the future cause a rift between the good and evil sides of the group. That we may in fact have to face Finn, Avion and who ever else in a battle of epic proportions.

But thats just me assuming lol

@ Avion: Rebuke/Command was an awesome touch and the small force of undead is kinda funny. Its definitely added a twist to things thats for sure.

Kai pretty much has it Will and the druids onboard are the best people to do it. As most viking priests were closer to druids than clerics Finn is more likely to relate to them. And damit I am happily netural at the moment although Avion could swing to the evil side of things very easily such as by encouraging me to act out on the anger inside. (Rage). And other not so pretty things.


Male Human Cleric lvl 3

That would be awesome... but why kill people, when they can still be use to me? :P Having raging barbarian next to me... with 12 meatshield is quite awesome!

@ Kai: Ah.

@ anyone:
As DM, if the party does go that route, I'm not opposed to playing it out. This is a sandbox game and all. What you ultimately do is up to you. I will endeavor to not be biased and just be an impartial judge.

I do enjoy the roleplaying happening though, just try to shy away from controlling my NPCs with your actions if possible. Occasionally I see things some of the NPCs may not actually do or react to, in the fashion I designed them. It's not a big deal and no one is being singled out. Just a blanket statement.

Not a huge deal, but some of the crew isn't as naive or green as I may have portrayed them. A Drow for example is not impressed with a rebuking as say Gunny would be, and was. :)
