Boat Scenarios

[Eric Clingenpeel]

Ok, there seems to have been a lot of "downer" threads lately, so I decided to get one going that a little lighter. :)

We've got a player who has begun to hate scenarios involving ships/boats. So, I was wondering how many and which ones have ships in them.

We've played Hydra's Fang, Quest for Perfection 2, and we're going to be playing Frozen Fingers here tonight.

I know Throaty Mermaid would be a good one, as that's all on a boat. Any others I can torture him with? :)

Do you only want boats in open water, or docked boats too?

[Harley Quinn X]

Shipyard Rats (Devil We Know, Part 1) has an enounter on a docked boat.

[Evan Whitefield]

The only ones I can think of are:
Slave pits of Absolom
Peril of the Pirate Pact
Shipyard Rats
The Cyphermage Dilemma
We Be Goblins

These have ships in them but most are docked or wrecked.

[Eric Clingenpeel]

:) We're going to be playing Cyphermage Dilemma on Sunday. :) Thanks so far.

@Paz: Open water or docked doesn't really matter. :)

What is the difference between a Boat Scenario and a Railroad Scenario?...

Water vs quicksand.

There's a boat in Darkest Vengeance? Huh. Wonder what I missed...

I was waiting for someone to question that, but it's true.

See, now I feel like I got robbed. I will have to note this when I run it.

I think this is going to be one of those face-smacking 'Duh" moments for you.

Darkest Vengeance:

Wehn you get to the second level of the basement, right before you get to the boss you have to take a boat (or two) on the underground lake to get to the final room. Often accompanied by bat swarm(s)

In our game the Big Bad fight ended up on the Boat, My group still hates this one...;)

[Fromper]

Did anyone mention First Steps: Part 1 yet?

Also, does the little dingy hanging off the side of the waterside tavern that keeps coming up count?

Sooner or later they'll run out of ideas with Blakros Museum and turn it into a house-boat or something so you can fight sharks in it. ;)

There was already one fairly wet encounter in there, as I recall, but no boats.

We used a boat in that scenario. The only time my pirate has ever gotten to use profession sailor. Though I suspect it wasn't in the scenario, and was added because we were running out of bounds from what was intended. Bob got us back on track, as far as I could figure.

I'm getting the image of the Blue Whale hanging from the ceiling in the Smithsonian... a scenario based around an exibit of Sea Creature artifacts, and when the last piece is set in place, it activates the anchient curse of.... but you get the idea. Underwater adventure - ala Posidon Adventure, only in a building and everything is mostly flooded. "go save the people before it's all sucked into the Elemental Plane of Water!".

Damn... I guess I'll have to note this somewhere, Mark!

[Paz]

My memory's a little hazy, but there's a docked boat in one of the 'Shadow's Last Stand' scenarios; 'Web of Corruption' I think.

[sveden]

This is off the top of my head without double checking but if I remember correctly Perils of the Pirate Pact...

Spoiler:

might be the perfect scenario to run. Because short of one encounter, that happens below deck, I don't think you actually have to fight on a boat.
