Game Update #25 sequence (file #268)

Admin Notes: Roster v2! 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!
