I'm looking to see if we can get him over then spring into action, or at least use that to get an advantage

Aye!
I agree that springing into action rocks, and I don't mind trying to lure him over.
Personally I'm tempted to just fire the cannon and hope we're in range (makes sense if we can hear each other yelling); but who knows?
The biggest problem I have with my own plan to simply fire the cannon is that it will force both ships to fight (not necessarily the end of the world as I'm pretty sure we can beat this guy); HOWEVER - the biggest problem ship-to-ship fighting will have for us that I can see is that we might loose too many of our NPC sailors. If we do that, where will we find reliable back-up (and this doesn't count the status of our ship after the fight).
So for now I'll do whatever I can to aid with a Bluff to get the guy over here - but any follow-up recommendations or suggestions would be great.
Also, regarding your question about the Message Spell - knowing the range of our target would ALSO be great - just saying ;)
Cool! Now I have to sleep because I need to be awake for work in 6 hours... If anything cool happens when I'm at work - good luck, and good hunting! :D
I think we just have adular left but Immortal has not been feeling well either. May be a relapse. I am sure everything will be good tomorrow.
Well, if the GM's sick then I understand. But are you sure Adular is still interested in playing?
As an aside, I kind of assumed that if PC's aren't posting at least once in a 24 Hour period when we're in a Combat Round that someone would NPC them in their absence, at least for a day, but I'm not sure. Is that an option at this point?
I don't mean to pressure anyone, but the thing is; I just really like the campaign and I'm excited to play.
That said, I guess we'll just have to see what happens next :)
Sorry guys. Severe coughing spasms till gastrointestinal fireworks occur = no fun for dm. Sorry for the delay, im hoping that if I can finally sleep tonight ill be somewhat better tomorrow. Thanks for your patience everyone! Damn kids and their germs!

Get some rest and I hope you feel better soon!
Immortal: Regarding the Tiny Hut, Milksop created it and now he's 60ft in the air (hiding in the sails of our ship).
This is what it says as part of the spell: However, if you [the caster] remove yourself from the hut, the spell ends.
So is the tiny hut no more now based on that? Or is Milksop NOT the caster?
Hope you feel better soon as well, Immortal
Correct Rain. I forgot about that fact so the tiny hut is gone. Thanks for catching that.
I am doing better also btw. Thanks!
Good to hear you are feeling better, Imm...
Correct Rain. I forgot about that fact so the tiny hut is gone. Thanks for catching that.
Thanks for clarifying, Imm.
Does that mean Adular can save his obscuring mist spell? I mean he was going to use it so anyone within the tiny hut/dome would not be able to see us, I believe?
Dhaavan's summoned hellhounds are yet to go this round as well (I placed them on the map as per coordinates Dhaav gave on their first round).
Dhaavan, are you still invisible?
Sorry, I haven't been able to fit in this weekend and need to play catchup.
Taking my turns this morning
I've moved your hellhounds on the map for you, Dhaav. Don't forget to do that when they take their turns. If you are unable to because you're posting from the phone, let me know, and I'll keep moving them for you.
Mmmm, I lost track of the hut so my attempt at cleverness was for naught. I should know better ;)
Anyone of the PCs badly hurt at this point? trying to figure out my next action

Well, for what it's worth, I did take 17 damage.
Adular, only two have taken any damage so far: Ana with 15 damage plus salty water burns and Horatio with 17 damage.
That Silence Spell may come in useful with Milksop at some point. ;)
Question for GM: So as I understand it looks like the bulk of the group is on deck waiting for the enemy boss to show up. If he shows up, they’ll attack him and in the meantime they’re just kind of waiting around for him to show up.
That might happen on the next round, or might happen two or three rounds from now. If this boss isn’t going to show up for another two or three rounds I wouldn’t mind just hashing out the issue in the hold as a separate matter as (unfortunately) I was unable to get out of my neighborhood because it hadn’t been plowed and I’m pretty much stuck at home ready to continue.
So if you’re up for it, while the group on the main deck is waiting for this boss to reappear I’m perfectly willing to do a little dance in the hull below.
Just let me know if you’re okay with that and until then; I’ll be right here :)
Horatio, Variel is not going to hang out on deck onec he hears fighting. Unfortunately I posted before you and made my actions. Now that I here gunfire I will be joining you down below. I think this might be the same for the others as until you fired none of us knew there were other enemies.
Actually, if you guys would rather just hang out above, that could work, too!
I mean; we are dealing with a caster who is either invisible and hanging around (or maybe teleporting or dimensional door or something; I don’t know). So he might pop out somewhere above deck any time.
As for me; I’m ready to fight and post!
To be clear; I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but I kind of went off on my own because I don’t like waiting days at a time while the GM is forced to "Hold Action" until everyone eventually gets around to making a post.
Anyhow, I figured I'd head below decks and do something when it doesn't involve a lot of people who don't really have the time to make posts more than a few times a week.
On the other hand; if you’re good to go, then I’m good to go!
Like, maybe we could just take care of things below deck ourselves? Given your Fly speed and movement I’d wager you could be below decks on the next round AND take a Standard Action (unless Flying is a Standard Action?) and by next round we could be cleaning out these scum and (hopefully) get them finished off in the next 3-4 rounds by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!
Variel, where are you on the map (coordinates)? Currently, your avatar is topdeck on the other ship but your actions say otherwise. Thanks.
Immortal, are we still going round by round? I'm a little unsure with all the postings still my last post. Are all the three enemy sailors whom Flynn faced now dead?
I tried to place Variel but I guess I placed him wrong as I was unsure exactly where he wanted to go. We are still round by round and the three pirates amen and Flynn were fighting are dead.
From the GM:
So the GM is having some trouble getting online and asked me to let everyone know that he'll be back on "as soon as humanly possible" - but that may be a little bit.
Hopefully things will be up and running soon, though :)
Finally got power back. Working on post.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Starting my third job today and I didn't get home until recently.
Also, as a fun aside, computer viruses suck.
Time for "retraining"
Horatio is considered "Re-training" a class feature - this is something we're allowed to do but it will take nearly almost 10 days "In-Game" to do it.
If people are cool with him retraining at some point and taking a few days of "Shore Leave" to get it done he'd be obliged.
Maybe after we find the sunken ship and get plenty of loot that can be converted into crafting supplies that might be forged into useful gear - while some folk craft that could be a useful time to consider retraining?
Anyhow, please let me know what you all think.
Thanks!
@Flynn: If you feel retraining is important to your character, then I have no issue with it.

Thanks for the support, Rain :)
Meanwhile, retraining might be useful for anyone.
It allows us to readjust skill points, stat points, and a host of other abilities. Anyhow, just something to think about...
No problem either but 10 days off screen could take us a few weeks or a day depending on what is going on. Don't want to dissuade you but don't want you hanging out doing nothing either during that time.
No kidding, right?
Since we've met the pirate king and got our letter of marquee it's been less than a week "in-game" but in real life that happened sometime last year.
To be honest, I don't want to compromise the pace of the game in any way.
The GM suggested to me that we'd eventually have time for us to do things like that via some kind of journey/voyage - on the other hand, that was sometime last year, so I don't know if he even remembers that; or if that quest/possibility is still even an option given what we've been doing.
Anyhow, thanks for the support! :)
You are going to need to go somewhere pretty far soon, like all the way across the shackles so that should be a decent opportunity.
A quick post: Rain is at full HP and does not require healing at present. Thanks.
Sorry, my browser is having a bit of trouble with the map, but if I'm reading this right, currently Adular must go through the cloudkill if he wants to get able to see anyone but Ana, is that right?
Yes. At the moment Adular and Ana are inside the Darkness spell (Ana can see through it as she has darkvision, but not Adular as he only has low-light vision) and you're both protected by Ana's magic which is holding the poisonous cloud at bay and not allowing it to spread toward you (it spreads each round).
If Adular wants to see anything, he'll need to move past the hellhound at R:17. But you'll be moving through darkness at first, so Acrobatics (DC 10) can help so you can move more than half your speed through the darkness.
But if you go into the cloud, you will need to make a successful Fortitude save (DC 20) for half damage, or cop the entire 3 CON damage.
I hope I've answered your question. :)
Flynn, correct about the poisonous cloud being gone from the bottom floor, as the green area is now gone from the map. I think the gist of the fortitude save was that anyone trying to move away from the centre of the ship (where the funnel of very strong wind is) needs to make a save and succeed or be pulled closer to the centre of the ship/wind funnel.

Outstanding! In which case I'm gambling that the Mouther will remain near his boss for a while instead of following me - this means I can head below, see what's down there in the meantime, then head up next round without enduring the massive amount of attacks (hopefully).
I can give better coordinates on my exact position once the third level is revealed.
Okay, so a list of CON damage for Adular:
Amen-set : 3 CON
Variel : 1 CON
Dhaavan: 1 CON (which he said he didn't need healing for in game)
Jiro: 2 CON damage remaining (which he asked for more healing, if it was available, after the others were taken care of).
I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and it's out of town. I may not be able to post again until my Monday (your Sunday). Happy weekend, all!
sorry, been trying, and failing, to clean the house while the fiancee is away... jsut got the posts read and am replying... hope i didn't miss too much to respond to

Bringing the conversation here but do we want to change titles for those on the Dryad? I ask as technically she needs a whole set of officers if we plan on keeping her. This would mean that someone could be promoted to being captain and it does not have to be Dhaavan. Just throwing this thought out there and what you all want to do with it. Likewise if Jiro wants a promotion to first mate on the Lady that spot would be open if Dhaavan is going to be an officer on the Dryad.

Well for what it's worth I really don't really think "titles" matter much, except maybe to NPC's.
But as for keeping the ship, I think that will depend details regarding her stats. Until we know more, it's kind of hard to know what to do with her.
Well, even if we don't keep her, she's worth salvaging and selling, which means we have to get her back to where she can be sold...so we'll need at least a minimal crew and some officers temporarily if nothing else.
I personally don't feel new titles need to be given at this point in game. NPCs who get promoted - sure - if it aids in morale etc. :)
As for the Dryad's Grave - I'm open to either option (keeping or selling). Although, having a spare ship sounds kind of nice and smart re sea fights.

It matter not to me either way but thought if someone wanted a new position or change things up then this would be a great time to do it. By the end of the campaign we might possess 6 ships and all of us could be our own captains. If people don't want to go with this I am great with it as it would make more paperwork for me. It would also prevent any headaches for remembering what positions people hold on different ships.
For now though I will leave the Lady and Dryad alone for officers but indicate on the Dryad who has what position for skill check reasons such as piloting checks. Amen-set's sailing is a +14 correct?
@Variel: Thanks re the cloak. Rain will claim it and list it on her profile page. (How much will she have to pay for it, please? Just keeping tabs on her personal gold situation. :))
And re Amen's sailing skill, I believe it is at +14.
For ease of reference, Variel's suggestion re the split of Officers between the 2 ships:
On the Lady: Variel, Rain, Jiro and Sandara
On the Dryad's Grave: Dhaavan, Flynn/Amen-set/Piper, Adular
I'd rather sell the ship off, keeping the cannons. Get a good chunk of change and we can take another ship eventually
