Immortal asked me (via PM) to push forward to Tidewater Rock as he is too tired, so I hope you guys are okay with my current posting. Thanks. :)
i'm asking what I'll have time and components to make, so what do people want me making for their trip out to the Rock?

Yes we do....
Meantime, I never got my cut of the loot yet.
I'll need that, too...
The trip was 3 days at a good speed made by Rain's initial Profession Sailor Check (which was very good). But given that our hull was compromised and we didn't fully repair it formally, I'm wagering at least 3 days - possibly 4.
That should have us arrive at either the 17 or 18th...

Agree that it would be 3-4 days. Those that didn't claim items should get first chance at Dhaavan crafting wondrous items or Variel crafting weapons or armor.
As for loot Horatio, the spreadsheet is up to date so if you want unclaimed items just say it so I can put you down for them. If you don't want items then once we get to a port to sell items you can have your share in cash.

To be honest, I don't really understand the spreadsheet very well.
It looks like I have a very low amount of wealth/loot available for some reason; but I don't understand why, as I still haven't taken any formal loot yet...
Is there something I'm missing, or am I just not understanding the various columns and so on?

I show that you have a positive balance of 12359gp. That means if you choose not to select any of the items that is the amount of gp you would get once we get to port and sell everything. IF you want an item then that item's sell value is deducted from your balance effectively giving you a better value than purchasing something from a store.

Wow! Okay, I was looking at something that said "554.8" which seemed really low.
That being the case, I'm pretty wiped out; but I think I'd like something that has armor or something like that.
Meantime, I need to tweak my sheet some as the GM has indicated he's willing to make a few concessions with Horatio and I'm going to need to work them in soon.
Other than armor, I don't really know what i'd like yet - but I'm not entirely sure yet.
Question - how much mundane crafting stuff do we have on hand (and while i'm at it; how much will we need to fix up the ship after it was attacked)?
The crafting supplies could be used to make a few adjustments; not to mention some new shot (such as grape or chain shot) for the cannon.
Keep me posted, but I'm pretty wiped out so I'm not sure how much more I'll be on tonight; but it will get done soon :)
Variel, for crafting, If you could get Dhaavan's Shield-cloak up to a +1, that'd be awesome. But Flynn's armor comes first. since i got a big AC bump and can work on AoNA's. BTW, does anyone else want a +2 AoNA, only 4k off your cut for a sweet +2 to AC?
Seijiro would love to have his armor bumped to a +2 and bump his amulet of nat armor from +1 to +2 as well... but I don't know what his total looks like right now, as I can't read the loot list - it's too small and I can't zoom it.
Rain wouldn't minding improving her armour to +2, at some point, as well.

Jiro, you have 6684 remaining but the problem is we are sorely lacking on magical reagents. We need to hit a port fast to liquidate items and get a stock pile of supplies to use for ourselves. there is also the plunder that we gained that could be sold as well.
If there is a port 2-3 days away I would suggest making a run there first either before reaching Tidewater Rock or our next priority.
Every time Rain makes a Prof Sailing check and beats her previous check, she gains ground ... and we could make swifter time to port.
Var, Dhaavan will take low priority as far as armor goes.
Jiro, you can get your armor to +2 and Nat armor to +2 for 1500[armor] + 3000[nat] if you already have +1 for each. I'll get that amulet done for ya on the road, Jiro.
ok... thanks... whenever you have time is fine.
I should also get one made for Flynn, and i jsut looked at the rules, and it'll take 6 days to get a +2 made but only 2 days to make a simple +1 amulet.
We dont' have any of the components in the hold? It's 5k for the items i need. Thought we kept enough to keep me working =]
Ah, I see. Yeah, looks like I'm out of stuff, unless any of the loot we found is made of components.
Np Adular. Sorry for the sporadic posting all. Hope it's enjoyable all the same. I'm going to move things forward tomorrow and start book 3 for real. Glad you all hit some time for fun rp. If you wish to move along to Tidewater that's fine. Nothing will happen plot wise so if you want to write your own return you can. I'm heading to bed and don't want to hold you up.
Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to the Social RP thread and it seems to have spilled out here leaving me utterly lost. I Was going to post earlier, but had to give a friend a car ride and dinner...
and I'm another 20 something posts behindSo I'm overwhelmed at this point and am very likely to miss what if anything was said to Adular, sorry about that, I don't intend to have him come across as rude
Adular, the only thing that happened (noteworthy) during the course of the evening was that Ana asked all the male officers for a dance (and I'm presuming Adular took a dance with the newcomer). And at the end of the celebration, Neko sent out a semi-cryptic telepathic message to all the officers/crew(?) and can clearly communicate it seems with everyone via telepathy at the same time. It seems there is trouble between Rain, Variel and Neko, but Adular and the others do not know what this trouble entails. I don't believe anyone had any particular rp directed at Adular, so you can do as you please re the rp. Does this help?
[Also, Dhaavan told bold tales of our recent battles to entertain the crew and much was said/praised about Adular's role in saving the officers' lives and keeping them hale so they could fight ...]
Variel, once Rain is done with Jiro's talk, she will talk with you. I haven't forgotten the rp.

It does help, thank you.
Also, "this post I'm linking to" When Jiro and Ana were dancing DHaavan got them to play some FLogging Molly, and i figured
And Adular, I'd bet dozens to doughnuts that by the start of the second verse, Sandara would have you out there regardless of how drunk you were!
The crew has all joined in either singing, or shouting or swinging a little more by the time the songs is ending, and break into most rancorous of cheering for the dancers when they finish. Then the song Variel requests, starts up, leaving you no escape...
suggesting that Sandara would demand dancing to Devil's Dancefloor, and maybe a slowdance too, but that's jsut an assumption }; ]
Jiro, by no means was Rain trying to rush your conversation. Just having her take it in before Variel approaches so she knows what needs to be discussed and sorted with him.
I am sure she will seek you later -- possibly at twilight when the handover of the Wheel happens and she will talk with you again then. :)
As I have to get back to some RL work .. I thought it best to pause it there.
ok
If Jiro wants to remain on the sterncastle and talk about other things with Neko there, that's fine and I can address that later when I'm back on the boards. I have another hour and a half before my work day ends and I need to finish a project - sorry, Jiro.
np
Busy day at work, today. I am going to try and fit in some more postings and reply where necessary. Thanks for your patience. :)
When Neko levelled, it unlocked her telepathy as well as additional power.
She can now cast spells as a 4th level sorcerer. She only gets the spellcasting, no bloodlines etc. This is in addition to the powers she already has.
The spells Neko has are as follows:
6 orisons: Acid Splash, Jolt, Prestidigitation, Ray of Frost, Root, Touch of Fatigue
4 1st level spells: Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Shield & Touch of the Sea
2 2nd level spells: Invisibility & Resist Energy
very cool!
Thanks, Jiro. I think so, too!
And now, I believe I have replied to all retconned rp ... and am headed to bed. Good night from this side!
Flynn - you mentioned talking to 'others' about something... if you put it in a tldr post, I will have missed it, sorry.
Jiro as per post # 9451, during downtime Flynn approached the group and talked about the following (abridged):
His first point revolved around underwater combat (no question to us was actually asked, but one to Ana -- more a rundown of what he did during the last fight and his thoughts on 2 dimensional vs 3 dimensional underwater fighting).
He wanted us to reconsider our tactics - Possibly having people standing/swimming behind Rain and Variel with reach weapons to hit the enemy at the same time as Rain and Variel and thus sparing the frontliners from too much injury and being the sole targets of the enemy.
He was looking for better ways of fighting in a three-dimensional area of combat, like underwater.
Second part:
Flynn asked if any of us would consider carrying a pistol or musket as a spare weapon as they hit pretty well in a fight.
This part was expressly said to Jiro:
”I think I told you that my first firearm instructor was a lad from Minkai, name of Matsudaira-noh-Uraga. Anyhow, he was a Ashigaru and was a pretty good shot. Now you’re pretty dexterous yourself; having your first shot go off you’re almost sure to hit and do some wicked damage. Then you just drop the weapon and charge in…”
@Jiro: I need to get some work done, but I will have Rain answer Jiro re her family as soon as I am able to. Sorry for the wait.
Okay, so I amended Neko's spell list and now she has the appropriate number of spells.
Also, I have given her a backstory. Rain will learn of this story as we sail to Tidewater Rock. The rest of the crew may find out in due time (if they talk with Rain or Neko) but they will not automatically know the details of Neko's past. It's good to have it unravel appropriately in the story. ;)
Please have a good evening everyone.
Dhaavan: At some pt after Rain finishes talking with Variel, she will seek you out to have a little chat. ;) Another short retcon before we get to the Rock.
This going to be before or after he goes blind?
And I'm good to play it out, either in the main or the social board =]
It'll happen the next night following the celebration - so if Dhaavan went blind the day after the celebration, then yes he'd be "blind" (I wasn't sure of the timing of the brand/mark etc).
Headed to bed. Goodnight from this side.
gnight Rain - I have a response to you from Seijiro - I'll post it on the rp board.
Thanks, Jiro! Will read it in my morning. Have yourself a good day, please.
you too - rest well and we'll see you on the flip side.

Whenever you are up, Dhaavan would have already had his would have had the eye thing happen by the next night
Regarding Loot -
The only thing of note that I see that might be helpful to me is the Eelskin Armor +2.
However, I'm not sure at the "base rating" as Eel Skin can be either considered - Leather, hide, or studded leather armor can be produced with eel hide.
That said - what is the total AC bonus with it? Right now I have a +1 Breastplate so I'm not sure what to do.
Personally I think we ought to convert stuff to components for crafting at this point but I'm not sure how much we can score on Tidewater Rock.
If we can't score much, I'd rather we sail to somewhere we can soon.

The +2 eel hide armor has an armor value of 6 which should be one less than +1 breastplate. However the maximum dex bonus is +5 which is 2 better than breastplate. If you have a higher dex then the eel hide is the way to go. The eel hide also gives you electricity resistance 2.
Currently it looks like the breastplate is better unless you rage to give your dex a +4 bonus. Then the eel hide is better.
eel hide doesn't slow your movement to 20 though, does it?... there is that consideration as well.
