(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP33/58 - AC22/18/19 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 17 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Wednesday July 8th, 2015 3:46:21 AM
Aex isn't too keen on taking Elstred along to Rum, nor does she deem it wise to have Elstred stay with the brothers... He will definetely make an attempt to escape if it would stay to that. Aex would fear for the brothers' life... And what if the Guild or those from the Guild that are closest to Elstred decide to 'free' him... On the other hand... she hasn't got a clue what to do with the guy either so who is she to criticize the actual ideas...
Assuming we spend two days patching up the ship, Aex spends some time also on creating potions.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 without shield - HP 51 of 51) Wednesday July 8th, 2015 6:29:36 AM
"Two days!" says Zeoll. "Is that much time rreally necessarry?"
The old liontaur was hoping to depart the same day as the battle.
Zeoll is sad to hear that Hash is considering leaving. He tries to convince the minotaur to stay. "Come now, I see that you have the hearrt of an adventurrerr, of a herro. Join us in ourr adventurres. Afterr all, I have no skill as a sailorr. That's why we have sailors on boarrd! Besides, we who honorr the fey king and queen need to stick togetherr."
Zeoll notes that Coer has been quiet. He asks the Captain where his thoughts are leading him. "Surrely you do not crredit the suggestion offerred by this one?" He nudges Elstred with a paw.
Hash considers Zeoll. He hadn't spent enough time around the Liontaur to really know him, but perhaps his meeting with the old taur wasn't an accident. If one servant of the Fey Court could be so wholly invested in the defeat of Biloople, perhaps he should consider it a priority as well.
"The offer was to keep you together with Coerator. If he must stay, because of his position, then I would travel with you further. I have never been to Rum, it would be good to see it."
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 without shield - HP 51 of 51) Wednesday July 8th, 2015 12:46:07 PM
Zeoll knows that some party members want to get some crafting time in.
"It's overr 100 miles to Rrum, rright? We'll have time to crraft on the way!"
Rillett (Bradley) HP 78/78 - AC 22/12/20 CMD 19 Wednesday July 8th, 2015 1:48:36 PM
Ok, so one day in Port to effect repairs and then we sail. Assuming there are no disagreements, that's our plan.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 without shield - HP 51 of 51) Wednesday July 8th, 2015 1:58:47 PM
Zeoll is certainly not objecting to that.
On another front, he walks over to Jozhur and asks him, quietly, "So ... Captain Jozhurr?"
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 25 -- HP 80/109] (25% chance no crit, uncanny dodge) Wednesday July 8th, 2015 5:39:29 PM
Terser works out a schedule of prisoner guarding with Magana if they are to be transporting Elstred to Rum. It sure would be interesting to find out if he knows anything of Billoopl's plans for the area while they are in transit.
ooc: level should be done, unless unexpected strike causes issues with combat. I'll try to be good about including potential AoO's. Levels going forward are a mix of RS and Barb levels.
Dm Shawn - Suggestion Wednesday July 8th, 2015 5:56:44 PM Hashamon suggests himself to stay behind in Bonetown, and watch Elstred. Zeoll lays it on pretty thick to get the minotaur to stay. Finally Coerator speaks up, " No Hashamon, I think you should go with the group. I am captain, and I think it would befit me more to stick around. Plus the Council will need my input. When I think it is settled here, I will send word for you all, or possibly find where you all ended up. I am sure the name of the Lionfish will be easy to find."
Rillet replies to Elstred's snarky comment, and is answered with an eye roll. Upon suggesting Lew and Karin, both men appreciate the offer but decline. " We are still part of the guild, and would be wise to make our way to someone not allied with this man and see what part we can play." Karin adds." As for the dagger, it is indeed masterwork.
Magana as always cannot wait for the next leg of the adventure, and the eagerness is showing.
Aexana agrees that taking Elstred on the ship is a bad idea. She hopes for a few days in town, to use her abilities and brew some potions.
Zeoll feels one day in port is enough, and some of the other agree. Plus they can create potions and other items on the trek to Rum. He motions to Jozhur about potentially taking over the role as captain but the man is quiet.
The harbormaster clears his throat before beginning. " So it is settled. Captain Coerator will stay in Rum, and take control of the securing of the prisoner. He will be provided protection himself, and of course a seat on the captains Council. As for the prisoner, don't worry about him. Between Coer and myself, he is stay here and will pay for his crimes."
At that, Elstred just laughs openly.
"As for your other two men, Lew and Karin. I can provided them a job to cover passage to wherever they want to go. One of the ships leaving port would take on two able bodied men to help."
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 without shield - HP 51 of 51) d20+19=27 ; d20+19=23 ; d20+19=29 ; Wednesday July 8th, 2015 6:52:25 PM
Actions for Zeoll in Bonetown.
1) On the night of the battle, Zeoll is sure to tell anyone who would like to listen stories of the Fey King and his court. He especially hopes to tell, by analogy, how the Captain's Council can benefit from the example of the Dukes and Duchesses of the Unseelie Realm. Anyone who listens to Zeoll can have a +2 on the first save of the day if they have not benefited from the bonus so far this module.
2) The next morning, after a good night's sleep, rocked like a baby on the deck of the Lionfish, Zeoll prays for spells, and delights in Maab's favor [OOC: leveling up gives Zeoll access to third level cleric spells at last]. Zeoll uses all his second level cleric spells for Make Whole spells, and casts Mending as well where it can do some good.
3) Zeoll goes out into the town to do an obvious job and a secret job. The obvious job is to do some PR. With his shield for protection and the company of anyone who wants to come along, the old liontaur travels to bars and taverns and streets to tell the story of the Lionfish and the battle against the Shipping Guild and against Biloopl. If possible, he seeks out that Stinger fellow and tells him the true tale as well.
Diplomacy check to make friends and influence people: 27
4) The secret job is to use two castings of Locate Object to search of holy symbols of Biloopl in Bonetown. He also uses Sense Motive with his new Deeper Insight spell, plus Gather Info via Diplomacy check. His goal is to deliver to Coer and the Harbormaster the names of possible Bonetown clerics or followers of Biloople, or at least where they might be based.
Gather Info check 23. Sense Motive check (with spell) 29
That's a full day to keep an old liontaur busy.
[OOC: Is there loot to sell/distribute? Elstred's gear, for one? Other stuff? Who has that list?]
(Brock) Jozhur AC21/16/15--CMD 24--HP73/73 Wednesday July 8th, 2015 11:13:49 PM
Jozhur is a little shocked at Zeoll's captain comment, he's never viewed or envisioned himself as a leader of anything. He gives it some thought, then nods in agreement, "I suppose I can take over while we are without Coer."
He gives the crew 15gp each put of his own stash as a hazard bonus for the battle, then sets about making sure tthe ' Fish is ready to go.
Rillett (Bradley) HP 78/78 - AC 22/12/20 CMD 19 d20+29=37 ; Thursday July 9th, 2015 12:13:46 AM
Rillett returns from his church in town dressed in white robes. But, disturbingly, his eyes have turned a milky white. In response to any questions about his eyes, he responds cryptically that, "Gargul has given him a certain insight." He moves as though his sight has been unaffected.
He will pass out 7,637 GP to each party member. When he finds that Elstred's dagger was not part of the treasure, he smiles as he says, "However, this was over looked. I suggest we give this to Captain Jozhur to mark his new position and to compensate his generosity to the crew." Ornate, masterwork dagger to Jozhur.
Rillett will also go to Tula. "Tula, please keep the Swan Boat Feather Token I gave you during the battle. It may serve you one day."
He will spend that evening praying to Gargul for guidance, and in the morning, he will give thanks to Gargul for granting him 5th level spells.
That next day, Rillett create a Breath of Life scroll. After this, he will cast several Mending and Make Whole spells to help repair the Lionfish. Then, he will pay a visit to Elstred, casting Deeper Insight +10 bonus to Sense Motive). There he will use his new ability Probe Psyche on Elstred, with a resultant Sense Motive roll of 37. More than enough to now know Elstred's "alignment and fully understand the creature's personality."
As we ready to sail the following day, Rillett will seek out Justier the Cabin Boy, and give him a gift of a ring on a cord, telling him that "Gargul lights your way." The ring has Continual Flame cast on it. Rillett will also create a few (4) continual flame torches for use around the ship. He will also reiterate his offer to the party, "I will cast Continual Flame for anyone that needs it, so long as you provide the cost of the ruby dust." (50 GP worth)
-------------------- Probe Psyche: The soulseeker gains the ability to look at any living creature and get a sense of its past lives. This ability turns the seeker's eyes completely milky white. After one minute of observation and/or conversation, a seeker can use this ability, with a Sense Motive check at DC 30, to know the creature's alignment and fully understand the creature's personality. This also gives the seeker insight into that particular creature, gaining a +2 Insight bonus to attacks, armor class, and spell DC against the creature.
Magana (Craig) [HP 101 of 101] [DR 1/-] Thursday July 9th, 2015 12:55:40 AM
Magana helps with repairs and otherwise helps prepare for their journey.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP33/58 - AC22/18/19 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 17 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Thursday July 9th, 2015 2:03:12 AM
Aex is ready to go whenever the crew wants to. Whatever potions she can make will do just fine and perhaps she can take some herbs along with her on the trip to brew some more along the way.
(I'll update my char sheet and catacomb purchases when I'm back from my business trip)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 without shield - HP 51 of 51) Thursday July 9th, 2015 7:20:24 AM
When the ship puts to sea, Zeoll brings his nomination to the party. "So, shall we name Jozhurr as Acting Captain?"
Rillett (Bradley) HP 78/78 - AC 22/12/20 CMD 19 Thursday July 9th, 2015 2:33:31 PM
"Aye! Cap'n Jozhur!"
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 25 -- HP 80/109] (25% chance no crit, uncanny dodge) Thursday July 9th, 2015 5:02:59 PM He'll make a fine captain, to be sure.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP33/58 - AC22/18/19 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 17 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Thursday July 9th, 2015 6:36:06 PM "Ready when you want to set sail Cap'n Jozhur!"
(Brock) Jozhur AC21/16/15--CMD 24--HP73/73 Thursday July 9th, 2015 6:51:14 PM
When everyone is ready, Jozhur gives the order to set sail for Rum.
-------------------- May want to do some Catacombs shopping, haven't had time during the week, should be able to get it in this weekend.
Dm Shawn - Suggestion Thursday July 9th, 2015 11:10:08 PM
Ooc: Waiting on an email and then a post will be up.
Hash is a bit awkward as he finds things to do around Bonetown. Without much in the way of hobbies, he mostly tries eating new things. Some of its good, some bad, and some in between.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC24 / 17 no shield - HP 55) Friday July 10th, 2015 2:07:57 PM
Meeting Hash by a food cart, Zeoll greets his old friend as he goes about town on his errands. The old liontaur sniffs, grimaces, and swishes his tail.
"Don't eat that, it's got rat meat in it," Zeoll says in Tauric. Then, anticipating a look of confusion, he adds, "And it is not supposed to."
"Anyway, let me beg for your help. While I walk around talking to people, I'm also looking for the unholy symbol of our enemy, the same symbol Elstred had. You can help me look."
He explains his Locate Object spell. Maybe the fellow will have some ideas on how his powers could help on the search.
Dm Shawn - Suggestion Friday July 10th, 2015 4:18:05 PM
Zeoll talks to anyone who will listen about the fey king. The old liontaur is no bard but he does a good e ough job with the story.
The next morning he prays for his spells, including his new more powerful zpells. He ventures out into town on two missions. The first is easier. More people have seen the Lionfish crew help in the battle so the reaction is alot better. The other is harder. No Other symbols of Billoopl register to the liontaur.
He does get a chance to talk to Hashamon about the various food trucks and the ingredients in them.
Jozhur is shocked at tge promoton, but does accept it. His first act is to pay the crew an extra 15gp as hazard pay. Eyesgo wide, and hooting and hollering is heard. But the crew is quick to realize the ship needs to be ready for Rum.
Rillet comes back from his temple and has a huge physical change as his eyes are now milky white. He too prays for his new spells before a busy day. He divies up treasure among the group.
When he gets a chance he uses one of his newer abilities to look more into Elstred. The man seems like he is a survivor more then anything. But he also knows he is evil. (NE)
Magana is still impatient, and helps with the repairs and loading supplies.
Aexana heads to the catacombs and spends time making potions before getting ready to set sail. (What potions and ammount ).
After all preparations are made and readied, Jozhur gives the command to set sail. Lew, Karin,the Harbormaster, and Captain Coer all watch the ship leave dock on its way to rum.
Jozhur gives the word and the crew is headed to Rum. The trip will take a few days.
Ooc: Finalize catacombs purchases this weekend.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 25 -- HP 80/109] (25% chance no crit, uncanny dodge) Friday July 10th, 2015 5:27:08 PM
Terser's needs are simple, and there is little he needs before he is ready to embark.
He looks over the myriad of items available at the Catacombs, and debating back and forth over what to purchase. He welcomes suggestions from any savvy shoppers who go with him.
suggestions for an enchantment on my weapons? I can afford to add a +1 something to my glaive.
Hash considers a number of things, from spells to the equipment the fey had purchased him.
When all is in order, he lets Jozhur know he is ready to move out.
Magana (Craig) [HP 101 of 101] [DR 1/-] Saturday July 11th, 2015 10:16:24 AM
Magana posts herself at the bow of the ship during the journey, ostensibly as a look out, but her poor distance vision belies that reason. In actuality she is contemplating her place within Gargul's service, and despite her certainty that she is on the right path, she would feel better if she knew where this path would lead her.
(Brock) Jozhur AC21/16/15--CMD 24--HP73/73 Sunday July 12th, 2015 5:48:44 PM
Jozhur plots a course for Rum and when preparations are complete, he sets the Lionfish on its way. He's a pretty green sailor, he expects to learn a lot in the coming time without Coer. He hopes the old captains leave is brief.
Rillett (Bradley) HP 78/78 - AC 22/12/20 CMD 19 Sunday July 12th, 2015 11:38:20 PM
Rillett will spend much of his time writing scrolls.
Day 1 - 2nd Level Remove Paralysi Day 2 - 3rd Level Fly Day 3 - 3rd Level Fly
Rillett knows that his new appearance, with his eyes all milky white, may be unnerving to some, so he makes the effort to interact with folks to normalize this for them.
When he is not writing scrolls, Rillett will be on deck, offering his support and skills to Jozhur (Profession Sailor 10.) He will also check on the crew and party to see if they need any spells or are interested in discussing Gargul's precepts. He's actually very interested in Magana's perspective as a fellow Eye of Gargul. Rillett is continually trying to work out what it means to serve the god of life and death, and he values Magana's input.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC24 / 17 no shield - HP 55) Monday July 13th, 2015 7:08:45 AM
On the journey, Zeoll keeps a close eye on Elstred.
Nights, he uses his Read Dreams ability twice ...
After meditating on a topic and sleeping all night undisturbed, you can interpret your dreams to gain insight into the topic, as if you had successfully cast a Divination spell.
The first night, the topic he meditates on is Elstred, and whether it would be a good idea or a bad one to hand him over to the Shipping Guild in Rum
The second night the old liontaur meditates on Lord Gargul, and what the party should do, if anything, to prepare for the trip to the temple.

(not ready with char sheet nor catacombs - sorry)
Aex enjoys the seabreeze as Captain Jozhur sails the Lionfish to Rum. Between the creation of some potions, Aex either joins the dolphins that swim in front of the bough or the birds that circle around in hopes of getting something to eat.
(I'll try to uodate my char sheet, spell list and potions asap)
