Stefan, in my post I wish to identify the wine bottles as being: A Quinta do Noval 1912, and a Symington Warre 1908. Both were rare and excellent vintages and would have brought a price of about $25 US in 1925... I didn't know if you have such details in mind or if you mind if we just supply them ourselves... (just thought that I would ask).
I notice that on other peoples sheets, they got supplies before you had up all the prices, because they were more "on the stick" than I was. I've also totally blown off the the whole pound/kilo conversion thing, and just treated a kilogram as a pound, because I really didn't feel like doing any calculating. Anything you want to fix on my sheet, do so. Also, it looked like some stuff I meant to have on there, wasn't, so I added it in, taking off the requisite amount of money. I notice some people put in "wallet". Do I really need to buy that? Are the amounts I had listed appropriate for the cost of the sundries and the kilt?
Connor has some questions for Andre. Might need an interpreter.
- where was Carlos fishing? - was Carlos alone or with a crew? If a crew, what happened to them? - is he sure this was pirates? not a personal rivalry...enemy...jealous husband? - if pirates, any ideas which pirate band might have done this? - who would know more about the habits of the pirates? - if we wanted to get rifles cheaply, who should we talk to?
I was off the coast of Santa Lucia. I was with my cousins and my uncle when we sailed into a small bay that we use to fish sometimes. The pirates were in two small motor boats. We came up on them accidentally and we tried to get away, but their boats are fast. One of their boats had motor failure and slowed down a lot and we thought we were going to get away. We saw a British patrol boat (you know they're stationed in Porto Praya) and signaled them. They turned towards us and the pirates turned away, but then they shot at us and I got hit. My cousin Felipe was killed. The British shot at the pirates, but we raced to port. My uncle got me over here, because Andres said that foreign doctors stay at this hotel sometimes. The pirates are all over that island, hiding out. The British and Portuguese could clean them out, but they hide inland and they don't want to risk their sailors going inland, so they just chase them on the water. I hear that the British are going to send some Royal Marines down on the next troop ship that goes south to clean them out, but they haven't arrived yet. The Portuguese government doesn't care--they just want to collect the royalties from the cable station and make sure the British don't miss any payments on the coaling station lease. Andres can get you rifles, but they're old, from before the War.
The new moon was on May 15th. It is partly cloudy, wind is blowing east to west at about 15-20 mph. It's about 50 degrees at night and 70 degrees during the day.
Don't know if you want us to roll or not. So I posted a roll for my shot at one of the guards (assuming that we get that far to actually get to squeeze off a round, of course). I noticed that Blogger doesn't see the code like Paizo did.
So, here is my suggestion (if you want us to roll at all... If you want to do the rolling, that's cool with me).
We clean up the rolls so that it looks good in Blogger like this:
Raw from IC site: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4009862/]Rolling to fire my rifle upon a guard at the yacht site. Roll includes my +20 for skill and a damage roll of 1d10 for the 8mm rifle. (1d100+20=115, 1d10=3)[/url]
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4009862/ Rolling to fire my rifle upon a guard at the yacht site. Roll includes my +20 for skill and a damage roll of 1d10 for the 8mm rifle. 1d100+20 (Novice) = 115 to hit 1d10=3 for damage
What I meant to show there (It was late and I did not really "spell out" what I wanted to communicate... My idea here present a proposal for a roll presentation standard for easiest readability...
Each IC roll contains a Roll Look Up URL. So, that comes first. Then, we present a short comment if desired or needed to define what the rolls and mods are for. Then we spell out the rolls to eliminate any possible confusion.
That is what the second entry of the same roll above is supposed to signify.
And, if the DM wants to make all the rolls, then that's sure cool with me. I was just proposing a standard format so that we do not present our rolls in four different ways.
First DM Question:
ReplyDeleteStefan, does Andres approach us frightened, concerned, sweating, desperate, calm (maybe too calm?), worried, shifty, etc?
Trying to determine if he is leading us into a trap... Or, is there a true medical emergency in the hotel?
Thanks for offering up his demeanor...
He appears a bit nervous.

ReplyDeleteFeel free to add that detail yourself. The port is Portuguese.

ReplyDeleteYou don't need that level of detail, but if you want it, I won't discourage it. I will go over everything and make sure it's good to go.

ReplyDelete- where was Carlos fishing?
- was Carlos alone or with a crew? If a crew, what happened to them?
- is he sure this was pirates? not a personal rivalry...enemy...jealous husband?
- if pirates, any ideas which pirate band might have done this?
- who would know more about the habits of the pirates?

ReplyDeleteFYI for future posts Alexios will go with the others when they go about town or where ever
ReplyDeleteUm...Alexios, do you need something? I mean, like most people, I prefer to do this alone. Crapping I mean. :)
ReplyDeleteImportant DM question for the raid!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the current phase of the Moon and what is the weather (amount of cloud cover, wind direction and speed please)?
Thank you...
The new moon was on May 15th. It is partly cloudy, wind is blowing east to west at about 15-20 mph. It's about 50 degrees at night and 70 degrees during the day.

Your thoughts oh great and powerful DM?

Just trying to help.
I like your format and appreciate your input, but it's easier if I just make the rolls as I post.
ReplyDeleteCool beans!
DeleteAt the end of the round, are we standing, on a knee, crouching, or prone?
ReplyDeleteIf I drop to a prone position this next round, will I still get a shot?
Thanks....
You are crouching and yes, you can move and fire with a -10 penalty.
