Hope its better? ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Recap] From Raddok: [Re: Ship's weapons] Raddok is wondering if he should have asked (before leaving the ship to help with supplies), what kind of armament and possible cannon does the ship have and/or need? Also, nets, both large & small, might be of use, whether to serve as an open flooring, or to toss for either fish or pirates, etc. He asks his companion obtaining supplies about this. He also explains he has no experience with any of those things, unfortunately. GM: Ack. Tech in pnp is Ancient Trireme era. So 'best' warship are Athenian Triremes tech. This is rowing, sails, ramming and maybe ballista style. No cannon. Gunpowder is the level of Naptha which is a form of greek fire in some sense. Gunpowder hasn't been found yet technically. Magic on the other hand is common and that varies for combat or defense. Some ships might have ballista of rocks or large archery ballista but this ship has none being a simple merchant ship. This is why there are only 3 decks not 4-6 18th century 1800s era warship. Unless you have seamanship skill fighting is at half quality and I would not wear chainmail or plate on board. :) Fall over..sink. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] Replying to Unali in Katai: "A pity as we need answers though I can't blame them if.... OOC: Scott, did the dwarves have boots to match the description of the killing blow(s)? And I'll post regarding speaking with Damon in a bit. GM: Ack. Boots? They all have such. Whether it was the same. Hard to tell without actually inspecting each boot. They were all dirty and soiled. Two things seem to lead to Unali's conclusion though. This was covered in past update. 1). Two dwarves left to go to below and then were found in galley eating 2) fingers were soiled with blood, guick and iron. Either from battle or clawing out of the cage.. But all dwarves were like that except the elder who had clean hands. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] Part of this post tracks back to Update #22. Meant to send things out sooner but I've been swamped lately. Sorry about that. OOC: Glorified Elf: Cool, though not sure if I'd call an alfar a glorified elf but I get it - Daoine Sidhe... Alfar... Anwora... True Sidhe (all of whom look similar to elves) and Whispers... Faerry - different species, possibly different genera/families. Arawn does not consider himself an elf but I understand how a Detection spell might identify him as such:) As to FC spell yes that's what I posted in old updae its half power Friendly Current: The spell is in both groups spell families but the rules are different depending on whether it's from Water or Sea Powers. Sea Powers Version - Duration: EL+1 Strategic Turns, Speed: (EL+1) x 3 miles added each day Water Powers Version - as above but Speed is 50% lower. Assuming Dorhak would like Arawn to cast this I'll have Arawn cast it at max EL, using Tongue of the Water to boost. Rerolling any failures up to 5 times. He'll recast it whenever the current spell times out. Food and Water: I'm hoping to have Arawn do at least some of the cooking for the party while at sea (he has training in Cooking as a Skill). Good food hopefully means a happier and healthier party once we disembark! Regarding food... Arawn has a scroll with the Sustenance spell (MEL 5/EL 2) that he can use to help extend our food supplies. It would provide 8 FP daily. He can also regularly cast Preservation to extend the life of any fresh food supplies. He also has 40 pieces of Elven Waybread to help out if we run low on food. Scott, how many FP per Waybread? Regarding water... If we begin to run low Arawn has two options - Ball Powers (Other/ Water) (a lot of water!) and he also has Sweeten Water (a small amount for now but would grow quickly if cast regularly). Just let me know if you'd like Arawn to use any of these abilities so I can give Scott details. Corsaya: Once Ix and Zol Zim are returned to Sivas Arawn will Translocate Corsaya and himself to the edge of the Sacred Forest (unless she has another place she'd prefer to be), cross over so she can roam freely in a safe place surrounded by Sidh/Neutral/Elder forces. He' ll also leave her gear there as well and then return to board the ship. IC: [Kaz's Cabin, 5:29 pm] "I do," Arawn calmly replied. "Though I can understand... GM: Ack. Alfar are a diff species yes. But Elf treat them as uber Elf. IMHO. When I talked to Richard years ago in email he uses the words glorified elf. But I can see the argument that its NOT an elf. But in the MW humans would see Alfar as Elf. Since so alike. As to the old man he may have an issue with all pointy eared folks or just elves. Who knows. :) In fact you would I assume not show your ears. So how did he know? That is the mystery. As to FC so cast constantly unless asleep. As to recasting it you may not know it fails as its deep under water so would not be 'seen' any sign of success or not even mana wise unless you are in the water itself maybe. But one can tell based on generic speed of ship if a boost was made unless there are already high winds. As to cooking you'll have to remind me during trip for skill use. I think Z also can cook. Cooking will have to be done on deck the galley is too small except for small soups. Scroll - Others have tokens and such spells. I mainly am doing party food/water first. If run out will take rations and tokens, etc. For easy accounting I'll always prefer party food/water. As to waybread I believe its same as Foyson theft formula but if I recall I think its in this case 40 for you?? But again I'm not worried about it yet unless party starves or gets pirated by food eating ants. As to water same thing. I won't know until it happens if need is needed. As to Corsaya she'd care less about being in SF. If that makes you happy then so be it. But she simply needs a forest and a place to stay nearby. Sidh don't need to be there. In fact when visited Ben'dar's ranch she liked it but also liked Caladan's forest home north of his ranch in Maren City. Small enough forest and nice cabin for her to use as a place of rest. But you can decide as it doesn't matter to her much. Let me know for spell use. I normally don't edit player dialogue. But I believe you meant If you don't mind to Ix? IF . Not I? From Z'leyra: [Re: Supplies] Per suggestion, Z'leyra's servant buys for and gets delivered to the ship 10 water barrels filled with fresh clean water. .1 barrel of cheap wine. 🍷 to be kept under lock and key. Food.. 1000 food points of Travel rations with watertight boxes to store them in. A hutch of half dozen rabbits for Eagle food.🐇 A bale of greenery for rabbit food. 6 goats as food for wolf. One keg of ale for influencing those we meet purposes. 😉 GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Marqi Frisda 23rd, 1636TH] [Time: Earlier that afternoon] Arawn speaks to Unali about the murder in the hold. Arawn speaks gently, "A pity as we need answers though I can't blame them if they did. If I discover otherwise and anything else of interest during the journey I'll make sure to let you know. The same with Damon. I'm sure he felt there was a reason to keep it out of government hands but I'll have a talk with him shortly." [Ba'ru - Kaz's Cabin] [Time: 6:20 pm] Kaz speaks of Arawn's abilities. "I do," Arawn calmly replied. "Though I can understand why you might sense me as one. I had only hoped to politely correct the mistake. And I could explain why but I do not think it would change your perceptions. Only time and experience may change that. Perhaps one day we might have the time and the pleasure. But it is a wonderful innate talent you have, much like the Sidh's innate talent for empathy or to sense and see magical auras. It would appear we have much in common... And, of course, out of respect for your wishes, I have ignored my innate talents while hoping for the same measure of respect." He smiled while speaking and continued to do so afterwards. It was a polite smile, soft and thoughtful, though he expected Kaz to interpret it otherwise. However the past might have poisoned the hermit's outlook the man's isolation seemed to do little to heal or add to his worldly wisdom, the opportunity for growth now replaced by the painful feeding of solipsistic views. Kaz glances at Arawn with little expression. He puts his tea mug down and turns to the fire. This time of year fire is too much but the man likes the warmth. "Humans have this hospitality down. I respect it." Kaz turns from the fire and looks at Arawn. "I will not hinder you in any way. I've been...a victim way too long to have any faith in people..or anything else." He glances toward Ix briefly. "This small wonder has swayed me a bit. But decades of abuse is not something to forget." He glances down at Zol Zim. "If this one trusts you then you are probably a fine person." Glances back at Arawn. "But you have the stink of death on you. Not from this one. But from another. A dangerous being. One should not trust that being or have it live around you. It will only end in dread and death. Now let's not all get sad here. Let's talk about the future of this fine young lady!" Afterwards, shortly before their departure back to Sivas, Arawn took some time to speak with the shamaness. "If you don't mind my asking, as you'll be traveling alongside me and my companions, how do you navigate in this world? Is your vision partially or fully impaired? I only ask as we'll be facing challenges alongside each other and it would be wise for us to know what limitations you might have, in as well as out of battle?" Actions? Comments? Next Update....Saturday... GM: A short update but all good progress. I'm done with all sheets except for the last 4 people listed below still waiting for gear info. Notice the Roster v2? After 20 years I updated it slightly. The reason I use ..periods is emails are common to strip tabs and so columns in this case would mess up. So I use periods to pad the columns to be aligned. Finally got supplies list. I'll take as is. But this means no cooking supplies or repair supplies. So be warned if ship needs repairs during a storm and there is NO way to teleport to get supplies. As I said teleport will be dangerous at times at sea. One and only warning given! I'll take any more supplies till 7/1 in case more urgent needs are done. As said aside from bunks, blankets a few plates, soup cauldron, lots of ropes there is not much of anything else aside from rigging on sails now on ship. So anything else is a bonus. I'm a detailed guy so prefer to have as detailed a supply list as I can but to not everyone is as weird as me. :) Kiet is buying hammocks as well. So agenda! I'm off Thursday/Friday. So Friday I'll roll the first leg of encounters for the first trip rrom Sivas to first city. I'll process Navigation and storm and wind data. I'll try to get this in a new update on Saturday. But at this point even though we have a minimal supply list and still waiting for gear info from some we can move on. Gear isn't critical until reach Vahear then it will be too late. So will try next update Saturday or next Tue/wed if possible. Stay tuned! We move on!
