BTW Pyan's SOP with the language necklace is to retry failures the next day if no one else is going to use it. I thought I mentioned that but you don't show it on the necklace uses GM: Ack. I like your view on loot. There is some argument that this loot was from slain innocents and party profits off them. It'd take a LONG time to track down folks if they still live. So in the end its good to end the threat (pirates) and take the gold. Probably did mention it past on necklace but I forgot or didn't take a note. Or rather the bad dwarfs failed to do so my staff. Bad dwarves! From Raddok: [Re: Actions] (Apris 27th, approx 3 pm) Raddok is impressed by Pyan's comment, and thinks about it while he is cleaning his armor & weapons. (Apris 27th, approx 4:30 pm) Reviewing the posted list of the pirate treasures & folks' posted requests, Raddok sees Unali & Z'leyra also want the tapestries, & Unali would like the silver eating utensils. He also notices Dorhak's interest in the magical bracelet of protection. Raddok sees his name on the list requesting the Map of a located treasure. He stands there for a few minutes, thinking. He then crosses off his name under the treasure Map & writes his initials by his marked-out name (He'd far rather accompany someone else, or a party going on that treasure hunt, than own the map himself.) & then crosses off his name under the cinnamon keg. He then goes to talk with the others interested in some of the items he had signed his name under to see about making some friendly deals. He approaches Unali & Z'leyra first & states he will withdraw his request for any of the tapestries & the fine wall hanging (which he's not sure where he'd store anyway), if he could have the silver eating utensils, which he sees a future & practical use for (& they're easy to store in his backpack, weighing practically nothing). He explains this reasoning & awaits their response. (He will be willing to take one tapestry & 1/2 of the eating utensils, if that's what the others decide amongst themselves, but will not push - they actually have homes to hang the tapestries.) Raddok then approaches Mournath & ask if he'd be willing to split the decision over the two items (armband & the brilliant turquoise) between the two of them. He is willing for Mournath to have first choice. (He silently feels the armband looks like it would fit nicely, but Raddok knows he could always have the turquoise (a beautiful stone) set into an armband later.) He awaits Mournath's response. Raddok finally approaches Captain Dorhak about the magical bracelet. He tells the Captain that he is willing to withdraw his request for the bracelet, since it seems no one else has asked for the Amulet of Detection. The amulet is also a magical item, & even better, something he can use without magic, but he asks the Captain who might be able to tell him how to use the amulet (assuming he gets it) - it could be very handy if it can detect danger or traps as well as jewels or coins/treasure - maybe even a person - he obviously needs to know more about it. He will need someone of magical skill to help him ascertain how to use it most effectively. With one magical item seemingly coming to him, he is quite satisfied, & tells the Captain to enjoy the magical bracelet. He then talks briefly about the unclaimed items - he does not believe he could use a talisman & doesn't know much about potions & powders, although the powder of Influence might be useful, the others would have negative side effects. The gorget could be useful, but how often do you meet a divine Mushrussu? (come to think of it, it might be useful, or perhaps sold to a priest at a later date - but someone else might get a better price). He tells Dorhak that perhaps the items should just be later sold as party treasure & the proceeds distributed. He then prepares for his double-watch duty, putting all of his cleaned armor back on & wearing all his weapons, with his shield on his back. He will use the mace & shield as first choice of weapons if pirates try to hit them tonight. GM: Ack. All magic items would be explained. So far I assume the Sidh do it since no one has stepped up. I posted about this on last update on Mysterious item as well but no takers. But aside from Mysterious mail all properties are known as is. Use and such as well. Darn forgot about double shift notes I gotta find that again. Though it makes sense to stop double a day out of port? So a lot of this is what-if so need to wait for others. But I'll assume these removals are solid – Keg, Map, Tapestry and Mail. Per email Unali gives you the utensils. Will update loot list. Post from Dorhak: [Re: Actions] "I know that Kiet, Z’leyra and Arawn could all help you with … GM: Ack. This is how our group decided. If Leader didn't do it – which causes some issue then its a draw straw, rock/scissors or random roll. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Apris 27th, 1636TH – DeChat City] [Time: 3:08 pm] Raddok approaches Dorhak on the bracelet. "I know that Kiet, Z'leyra and Arawn could all help you with the amulet. They are all pretty strong magicians. But I think it's only good for detecting brass or bronze, or some such." Dorhak replies to Raddok. "I chose the bracelet because, as a non-magic user, I have few defenses against hostile magic." "If we have conflicts between each other over items, I'll have it settled by lot (random roll, best roll gets that item). Let the gods decide. But no Divination! No cheating!" --------------------------- [Apris 28th, 1636TH] [Time: 7:00 am] The Black Depths is now sailing fast toward Vahear. Mournath has to plot a more southern route to use the currents aside from Arawn's Friendly Current spell. Today yields good winds allowing the ship to travel 28 miles. Thanks goodness no pirates pursue the party. If they did they'd figure a coastal route not a direct western one to open sea. In fact this is the first time the ship loses sight of land since leaving Sivas. Now it is up to the Navigator, Helmsman and charts and skills to get there. The day is partly cloudy all day with temperatures ranging from a brief 31 to a toasty 92 degrees. [Time: 7:46 am] A rain storm hits the ship lasting 19 minutes drenching those on deck. [Time: 8:32 am] Another rain storm hits but it over before it starts in only 2 minutes. -------------- [Apris 29th, 1636TH] [Time: 7:08 am] The winds are less today with only average speed giving ship to travel only 15 miles. The day is overcast and gray. [Time: 7:15 am] A wind storm hits the ship lasting 13 minutes with gale force winds. Crew hasten to batten down hatches and lockers. [Time: 10:56 am] Another gusty wind hit s the ship forcing Mournath to fit the wheel for control. One spar bag falls and almost hits Ix but she avoids it. The storm lasts 16 minutes. [Time: 6:26 pm] As the skies darken a water spout is seen off the ship a few hundred yards to the port. It lasts 3-4 minutes but then ends. Brutto comments spouts at dusk are a bad omen. But soon the ship has to anchor in open water. -------- [Apris 30th, 1636TH] [Time: 6:58 am] Average winds help the ship get the ship another 19 miles closer to Vahear. It is another dreary overcast day giving temperatures to range from 58 to 86. [Time: 8:03 am] Everyone is awake and some are eating breakfast. Suddenly Corona dives down screeching a warning. Those who understand Eagle like Fremea, Arawn Z'leyra and Pyan understand it well. He has spotted a large creature directly in front. Dorhak orders the ship to port. But it is too late a large beast surfaces from the depths and is only 8 feet from the ship. With his body a green-gray mist is seen. The creature moves fast toward the port side and its neck is 10 feet above the water. This is when those who have seen such recognize it as a Wyrm! It breathes a cloud of poison right at Arawn who is near and the cloud hits him. He begins to cough and gag but seems to be unaffected. [Time: 8:03:00 am] [Phase 1] Actions? Comments? Next Update...Saturday? GM: This is a quick update. My Tue/Wed will now be less busy so should have time to do more. But for this one I'll either start Wednesday or finish Saturday. I'll do 2 phases per update. This is first shift so those 3 I can allow wearing armor/weapons. But keep in mind it is 86 this balmy morning now so armor might be sweaty. It is also 2 days from Dechat so paranoia is gone for pirates so it doesn't make much sense for most to have weapons on 24/7. But if you want to argue weapons are nearby that's fine I'll take it. Otherwise time will need to be to get such items. I can see weapons on deck on lockers though. Loot list updated. This is only combat till Vahear so once this is done adventure enters part 4. if you guys can wait till Monday (I'm off) I'll do a map and positions of each person. So I'll randomize that to see where each is. But I'm a bit tired tonight. So feel free to wait till Monday. Only 3 necklace slots left till Vahear. I've heard from John/Arawn. Been busy. He does comment that the map scroll should go to party treasure – his vote. GM: Unali – Arawn in thanks for helping him offers to enhance a Moonwort for you. Dorhak – Since on duty can use full armor/weapons but keep in mind hot day and going overboard from a Wyrm might not be good. Fremea - Will figure out mana on Monday since your worst off. Keep in mind Vahear is soon so may need to save some mana. Raddok – Same as Dorhak on gear. Unali – you without daggers never! :) GM: Language Necklace Use: Roll W+EM or less Buff: +Em Mar 24th, +W Mar 29th Character Date Learning Notes Pyan Apr 27th Fomorian From Unali Failure Pyan Apr 28th Fomorian From Unali Failure Pyan Apr 29th Fomorian From Unali Success --- Apr 30-Ma 2nd?
