Floating Worlds Campaign Team Druid

[Fable Wright]

If you are not team druid, GTFO!

You guys, sailing in your boat, see a small vessel, similar to your own, declaring an attack on a larger vessel that has several cannons pointed at them, as well as 8 archers. The captain of the plant-ship has flamboyant clothing, and a tricornered hat. What do you do?

[HypoSoc]

"Interesting situation," Caysyl says to the others.
"Do you think we should wait it out, then try to scavenge the ocean for loot?"

[Fable Wright]

A female seaborn with green eyes and a notched ear shouts out,
"Oh thank goodness! Someone has found us! We have been lost at sea ever since our navigator and botanist died from a shark attack! If you could please help us, or let us on your ship! Could we send over our aged archivist to discuss things with you?"
to the heavily armed ship.

[Talore]

Ethelria pops her head out from her arms, sitting up against one of the living walls. "Can you tell what the ships are affiliated with?" she asks Caysyl.

[Fable Wright]

(She can't.)

[Fable Wright]

"It is only our archivist, sir. She has been getting along in years, and we'd prefer to have her avoid a battle. The loot was recovered from the remains of a merchant ship we found on our travels. If one of the pirates you speak of tries to attack us, then it would certainly be advantageous to pool our resources!"
The guard replies, Ok, then. Come on up., and drops a wooden ladder.

Also, I'd like a description of the additions to your ship...

[Talore]

Ethelria stands up to view the situation better. "What should we do?" she asks the rest of the crew.

[Fable Wright]

So, you wanted to pool resources? What did you have in mind? The guard asks when the elderly elven archive finishes scaling the ladder.

[Fable Wright]

The girl smiles at the guard and says "Without a navigator, I'm afraid the map won't do us much good, but thank you anyway. I would like to speak to your captain to discuss the prospect of our ships staying together a while, and to talk about compensation for your assistance. When will he be available?"

The guard gives the girl a sheet of paper and her current coordinates, then the guard says There is a druid over there who knows botany better than any of us do. You should probably speak to him.The captain will be ready in 30 minutes or so.

[HypoSoc]

Ship has a dining area, four bedrooms, a forge, two open areas on each side to allow blasting, and giant tentacles to destroy ships with. Anything else? Its free to add since I'm a druid.


Sense Motive Check on the conversation.
[roll0]


"Personally, I'm in favor of waiting until something starts, then deciding."

[NecroticPunch]

(( Umm, perhaps you could add a back-up boat ( or whatever it's called ) so that if the ship gets destroyed you can still escape. ))

"I. Am. Bored. Perhaps we should go do something. Y'know, like, attack the winner? It would be more fun than just sitting here, with nothing to do. Though waiting it out would be fun... we would get a nice little show, almost like a mock battle, except not!" M'ashdyn Enthdraoeth says, as he leans against a wall on the ship.

[HypoSoc]

Caif won't sink! Don't hurt her feelings like that. Besides, Caysyl can breath underwater and cast water breathing on you two.

Caysyl says to M'ashdyn: "Sounds like fun. Though I don't feel like murder, how about a raid instead? In, get the loot, out. We won't give them time to recover from the battle."

[NecroticPunch]

"Sounds like fun to me. Though, if they attack us, then I can attack back, and have permission to kill, right?" M'ashy says to Caysyl.



(( Then... MORE POWER. Make it OVER 9000! ))

[Fable Wright]

The captain of the small vessel is flying towards the larger vessel.

[HypoSoc]

"Do whatever you feel like. I merely want to allow them to surrender or be incapacitated. Lethal force may be used if you don't get the blood on Caif. How do you feel about this, Ethelria?"

[Talore]

"Why are we risking our lives for no good reason again?" she asks. "Let's just wait and watch for now."

[HypoSoc]

"That's the current plan. We wait, then raid the winners."

[NecroticPunch]

(( We should totally upgrade to this. (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=Super+Plant+Monster&loggedin=1#/d1q2phk) ))

" Well let's get the show underway " M'ashy says lightheartedly, as he leans back against a wall.

[Fable Wright]

(you can wait for level 21 for that.)

[HypoSoc]

Sure, when I'm level 9, we'll transform from a ship into hollow mini-version of that.

[NecroticPunch]

M'ashy watches the ocean, and asks, " Who do you think will win? "

[Fable Wright]

You see someone from the smaller ship scale up the hull of the larger ship, and then see him chuck someone overboard.

[Talore]

"Oooh, this should be good. I like the plant people. Perhaps we shouldn't kill them?" Ethelria proposes, watching avidly.

[Fable Wright]

You notice the large heap of treasure in their raft, guarded only by a girl that looks distracted by the battle.

[NecroticPunch]

" Perhaps I should fly over there and take the treasure, hmm, yes? " M'ashy asks.

[Talore]

"What did I just say, M'ashy? Let's hold on for now." Ethelria says, slightly annoyed.

[NecroticPunch]

" Fine. Fine. Fine, but I hope she doesn't throw all of her gold overboard, and make us lose the damned treasure. " M'ashy says.

[Talore]

"I'd just turn into a shark and grab it anyways," she responds offhandedly.

[HypoSoc]

"Of course, it'd be a shame to find ourselves losing this opportunity. I propose that you could sneak over there, take as much as you can without getting caught, then waiting for the battle to end before going back for more. It will give us time to leave if we find ourselves outmatched. And we don't have to take all of it. Besides pirates need to learn how to defend against piracy."

[Fable Wright]

[grammar nazi]the 'their' should be a 'there'[/grammar nazi]

[NecroticPunch]

" Alright then. " M'ashy says, and he dives down into the water, swimming in the direction of the treasure. As soon as he gets there, he'll try to pick up a few pieces of the more expensive-looking treasure.

[Fable Wright]

roll a move silently and listen check.

[NecroticPunch]

[Talore]

*facepalm*

[Fable Wright]

... Ok, you make off with the treasure while the girl is distracted. It's quite sad, actually. She got a 4 on the spot check, and a -2 on the listen check.

[HypoSoc]

Triple facepalm, one for Necrotic Punch, one for the girl, and one for my face.
How much treasure?

[Fable Wright]

You steal about 1000 gp worth of material. You got lucky.

[HypoSoc]

"Nice loot, though I'd smack you if you weren't so lucky."

[NecroticPunch]

Jaw drop. I get to spend that on mah cake, right?!

" That's what I'm calling some good loot, no? " M'ashy says.

[HypoSoc]

"So we wait, or do we go for more?"

[Fable Wright]

Jaw drop. I get to spend that on mah cake, right?!

No. The cake is a lie! :smallwink:

[NecroticPunch]

" Let's go get some more loot! " M'ashy says, as he jumps into the water, and repeats what he just did.

C'mon, daddy needs a new magic item...

[Fable Wright]

Still need a hide check.

[NecroticPunch]

C'mon, daddy needs a shiny new corvette [roll0]

[Fable Wright]

...not going to happen, with that appraise check.

[NecroticPunch]

:( Just because I can't appraise a good item doesn't mean I don't get anything... I just get bad stuff

[Fable Wright]

It means ca$h, not magic items.

[NecroticPunch]

Ah. Well, in that case, DAMN IT ALL. Why couldn't the damn appraise check been a good roll? Why couldn't it have been at least [roll0]

[Fable Wright]

You make off with 500gp.

[Talore]

Ethelria whistles with a shrill note; calling her companion Hwestare. She calls upon the little divine magic she knows, and enables herself to speak with the hawk. 'My darling, there are two ships over there. Could you fly over there and use your keen eyes to tell what is going on? Don't take too long!' she asks, knowing she's done this many times for her in the past.

Casting Speak with Animals, lasting 5 minutes. Hwestare should know to get back before then.

[Fable Wright]

She tells you that the one with the funky hat froze the captain of the other ship, and then attempted to grapple him while the guards attacked the one with the hat. (yes, awkward)

[HypoSoc]

Caysyl grins "Amazing! Are they deaf AND blind? At this rate we can take over their ship without them noticing."

[Fable Wright]

The girl on the ship seems to be (with a -2 listen check) both.

However, HypoSoc, while you laugh, one of your ship's tentacles hit you for reading team Pirate's thread. damage:1d6+4

[Fable Wright]

Ok, then... [roll0]

[HypoSoc]

Caysyl growls a bit, then calms down.
It was illegal?
"THink you make make one more trip before they notice us?"

[Fable Wright]

Yes, do not look at other group's threads.

[HypoSoc]

Perhaps a warning label in the first posts are in order.

[NecroticPunch]

" I dunno. Think I should summon my Eidolins, or fight by myself? I think I'm probably going to summon one or two Eidolins... Well, time to wait. " M'ashy says, as he walks over, and drinks a little salt water from the ocean.

I know it's not healthy... but M'ashy was thirsty.

[HypoSoc]

We have a salt coral bucket...
"No need to fight, for the time being. Let them rest."

[NecroticPunch]

Oh. Well, he was bored.

" Alright then. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. How long 'til the battle's done? Perhaps we should just have some fun. "

[HypoSoc]

"We could try to take more stuff. That's always fun."
At that he jumps in the water to the ship to take more loot.

EDIT: Wow, two natural 20's and a fail where it counts...

[Fable Wright]

... The seaborn on the ship heard you, turned around, and looks really pissed off because of all of the failed checks she had to make because of you.

[HypoSoc]

Caysyl jumps back in the ocean with all the loot he managed to grab and swims for his life.

[NecroticPunch]

M'ashy laughs hysterically, but prepares himself in the case that he is needed. " Looks like you got yourself a real mean one, 'eh? " M'ashy calls out.

[HypoSoc]

"Don't know if this pretty girls mean, haven't met her yet." Caysyl smiles as he swims.

[NecroticPunch]

M'ashy laughs a bit, then looks over, and asks Cays, " Maybe you should hurry up? I think that chick is gonna attack you with a stick! "

[Fable Wright]

(You saw her hurl a sphere of fire and incinerate a man just 6 seconds before his)

[HypoSoc]

"Sorry, I'm busy swimming."
Waiting for DMoD to post how much I got or if I don't make it.

[Fable Wright]

Well, considering the other team hasn't responded at all today... I can't tell you the reaction.

[HypoSoc]

Can Ahyz steals moar trezar?

EDIT: Wow, that hurt, that hurt so much...

[Fable Wright]

No time interval occurred. No.

[Fable Wright]

You see 4 heavily armed and armored people ready for battle, looking competent and ready for battle dash out on deck.

[HypoSoc]

On which ship?

[Fable Wright]

The large merchant vessel.

[HypoSoc]

A battle with us?

[Fable Wright]

No, they just ran out on the deck. Waiting for the team pirate and the other team's responses...

[NecroticPunch]

Starts making some tea. " Anyone else wants some? This battle looks like it might finally get interesting! " Mashy says, as he waits for the tea to finish.

[HypoSoc]

"That would be enjoyable, brew it while I play around with the seaborn."
Can't get on the ship till they post...

[NecroticPunch]

Craft ( Cooking ) Check for The Tea = [roll0]

If Roll Succeeds:

" Ummm, yummy, some nice tea. So delicious. Anywho, want me to come over and help you? " M'ashy says, as he sips on a glass of tea.

If Roll Fails:

" God damn it! You want some help over there?! " M'ashy yells, as he shakes his fist violently in the direction of the tea.

[HypoSoc]

"Ruined another pot of tea eh? Don't worry, I've got this covered, but if I get too distracted, I'll appreciate the help."

[Fable Wright]

Craft ( Cooking ) Check for The Tea = [roll0]

If Roll Fails:

... the DC for making tea is 10, and you can take 10 on the check.

[Fable Wright]

HypoSoc takes 9 damage on the escape, before he gets away.

[HypoSoc]

"She's a fiery one that."
How much loot?

EDIT: What is the effective class level of my cure light wounds wands?

[Talore]

Who the hell fails at making tea? lol

[Fable Wright]

1500 gp. Nice checks, but you won't get any more.

[HypoSoc]

What is the caster level of wands?

[Fable Wright]

Level of spell x 2 -1. Looks like you may be hit again, HypoSoc.

[NecroticPunch]

" I'm still bored. Can we please go beat the crap out of the people over there? " M'ashy asks, as he sits down and wacks the ground quietly.

[Fable Wright]

HypoSoc, a fiendish dire shark is trailing you, now.

[HypoSoc]

But I'm on da boat?
Still hurts...
I ask Caif to full attack the shark and use a wand on myself.

What's her attack bonus?
Heal roll
[roll0]

[Talore]

Spot check to see shark.
[roll0]

[NecroticPunch]

" I feel discluded, maybe you guys should let me come help a little. Or something. But then again, maybe you guys should just continue, and I can sit here, and watch. " M'ashy says, as he walks around in a circle.

[Fable Wright]

HypoSoc, it takes 3 turns to get to the boat. Luckily for you, the shark misses this round.

[HypoSoc]

"Help is helpful." Caysyl calls.
What's the attack bonus so the boat can attack, also, it is moving towards me, so it should only take 1.5 rounds.

[Talore]

Ethelria knocks an arrow, takes aim, and fires at the shark (presumably skimming the surface to attack)

[ROLL]1d8

[Talore]

Damage, I fail. [roll0]

[NecroticPunch]

Spot Check to See the Shark of Sharkiness: [roll0]
Go Roll Powers, Go!

M'ashy yells out, " Coming! " And swims toward Cays, laughing out joyously at his luck to finally get to do something.

[Fable Wright]

Talore hits the shark, and the bonus is +10, 2 attacks as a standard action.

[HypoSoc]

Going to bed. Have Caif deal full damage to the shark until its dead then the pirates and get me on board. Then have me use call lightning to strike the pirates once per turn, not killing but knocking out. I'll attempt to capture the ship and the pirates. Caif will retreat if she loses more than 39 health or any of our team members drop unconscious.
Reflex DC for lightning strikes: 18
Halves Damage
Five lightning damage rolls to start out with.

Also, add semi-witty remarks during the process, and flirt with the seaborn.

[Talore]

Why are we attacking the pirates again? We're supposed to be druidic, not chaotic evil... pirates. I for one do not approve of attacking a plant-ship.

[HypoSoc]

Not attacking the ship, just taking their stuff in the most efficient manner. The boat wont be harmed.

[Fable Wright]

... no, you make your own dialog. Shark deals [roll0] damage.

[NecroticPunch]

If I'm close enough to beat the shark with a stick...
M'ashy uses a free action to draw his Greatsword, and yells out violently as he stabs downward with it, attacking the stupid shark.
Hitting stuff with a stick is fun!
Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1][roll2]
" Die You bastardly bastard! " M'ashy shouts.

If I'm not close enough to attack then I get close enough, and do this next turn.

[NecroticPunch]

For Critical: [roll0]

[Fable Wright]

roll to confirm critical.

where did the 5d6 damage come from?

[NecroticPunch]

It hast been rol't
It came from my bound eidolin.

[Fable Wright]

33 points of damage. A little OP, as a rogue can't do that much with a sneak attack. If it's at will... you must make a new character. After the encounter.

The shark goes off to hunt weaker prey...

[Talore]

Okay, I'm going to quit this campaign. Sorry.

[Fable Wright]

Why? Why quit?

[Talore]

I don't like the playstyle of the other players and the amount of control you're frequently flaunting about power-level.

[Fable Wright]

...I realized that I sent a CR 11 monster at a level 5 party and decided to not kill everyone. And he dealt around 20% of the CR11 monster's HP with a single attack. And this is my first time DMing. Sorry.

[HypoSoc]

I'm sorry. Can you explain to me what I did so I'll know better?

[Fable Wright]

Apparently,he disapproved of attacking the other pirate ship.

[Fable Wright]

Ethelria decides to take out the shark at all costs. She jump into the water, and engages in an epic fight to the death. For both of them. RIP, Ethelria. At least you killed something with a CR greater than twice your own.

[Fable Wright]

The pirate on the boat yells at the top of her lungs. "I give up! If you desire a ship, you may have mine, but I humbly request that you let me join your group! You have proven your supremacy, and I would be pleased to serve under you!"

[HypoSoc]

Sense Motive
[roll0]

[Fable Wright]

...No bluff check was rolled for this statement.

[HypoSoc]

"You gave me a bit of a bite with that bolt. I'd have to confer with my crew."
What's happening?

[Fable Wright]

IDK, looks like she's actually defecting.

[HypoSoc]

Waiting to confer with Necrotic touch

[NecroticPunch]

M'ashy says, " Go ahead and let him join. " After he returns to the ship.


DMoD, Why can't I continue using the character o.O I could just re do my Eidolins, and make them less powerful. If I do have to remake a character then I'm not sure about it... I'll probably come up with something, and anyway, my damage was only that high because of a REALLY lucky roll.

[Fable Wright]

Still, 5d6 is more powerful than a rogue's sneak attack. And you can do it at will.

[Fable Wright]

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8756922#post8756922
enjoy!
(stupid 1-minute interval between posts...)

[NecroticPunch]

The mage is hitting just as much as me! Why do I have to take a hit if he doesn't?!

[Fable Wright]

because you can make afull attack with it, and they can't.

[NecroticPunch]

... But... I could just take the energy damage off of it and spend it on something else >.> This character isn't even optomized, is what's really making me angry. I could've, if I wanted to, pulled 30d6 per turn out of my butt, but anywho, I guess I'll probably drop out if I can't keep my character.

[Fable Wright]

fine, keep it, but no eidololns worth more than a quarter of the pool. This is probably the first playtest it's seen, and it still needs to be fixed in-game. There are likely more issues, but we'll handle them later.
