I suppose that works for us then
Do we need a detailed shopping list of what to buy tho?
you guys can do the shopping stuff when you are actually in the area
specials and stuff will come up
anyway do a poll or somethin for this plz 🙏
That looks great
seemed pretty unanimous so I submitted it
Alright! I know we didn't have to roll, but it's nice we helped out Stelle!
Now, we have a lot of options. The way I see it there are a few key highlights:
- Shop, obviously (Keep in mind our total funds)
- Chat up the shady man and/or wizard for information
- Do some tasks to build up our loot
- Seek some new crewmates, shady man / Wizard included
- Regroup with the others
- Secure lodging for the night at hotel
I'm not too good with the dnd esque shopping so I'm not sure I could help with that.
For the other option though, yeah I do think the wizard/Shadyman interraction could be neat, though I figure we can only do one so we should make sure that if the Merchant group does it we don't take the same one
I don't think regrouping is going to be that effective as thhey literally split all across the fucking town, but lodging sound like a solid plan so they can get back on their own with logic of where we could be sleeping
okay but if we get the gambler's dice we triple our chance of critting
(ofc we also triple our chances of crit failing alongside crit succeeding)
The problem is that we have 280gp under the ship’s sake, and only 10gp of our own.
Spending 150gp or 250gp for a shiny new toy is kinda irresponsible.
Then again, we ARE a pirate.
We could also inquire about the seas from the Tavern. Maybe show a sample of Crystal to get some sailors talking about Draeding and the Crystal beast.
Roll to persuade the crew this purchase will be beneficial. Nat 1. We get thrown overboard.
Chat it's obvious what we need to do. The shady NPC is always where the fun is.
Okay, so it looks like the Shady Dude is gonna be talked to, but if we really want to buy something else, we gotta actually agree on something and not just waste our money on whatever’s shiny.
Remember, there is far more we can buy than just the items listed:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PRICES MAY VERY SLIGHTLY CHANGE BASED ON LOCATION AND SOME ITEMS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN AREAS CONSULT THE DM (YOU CAN PING THEM AS MUCH AS YOU NEED/WANT) WHEN AT A MARKETPLACE/TOWN ON IF AN ITEM IS AVAILABLE OR NOT! THIS INCLUDES ITEMS THAT MAY BE OVERLOOKED/ARE...
could we buy a new pirate hat since the old captain sailed away with the old one
Buying drip
Might be nice to say we accessorize. Maybe ask the shopkeeper about comings and goings.
Maybe prior to this, we were dressed in more common pirate duds. Maybe here, we buy our signature outfit.
Heyo! So I'm trying to draw your guys' character, and I wanted to clarify, when you say cloak, do you mean this?
Or this?
Nvm I got it
Yeah, like a half-length cloak. The collar has to be open in the front to allow for his “beard”
Okay people, looks like we are for sure gonna talk to the shady guy, and we might buy something else as a bonus action.
Question is what do we buy? Buying those fancy exclusive stuff using the ship’s stash would be… irresponsible, but we’re the captain, so…
Anyway, post what you think we should be buying here. The full shopping list is right above.
I think weapon wise we're fine, so maybe some rope? We could do some absoute shenanigans with it
Okay, so:
ACTION: We go to the Shady Guy and chat him up. We try to ask about any major happenings, including anything out to sea, and what's happening townside.
BONUS: After making purchases for our ship, we decide to do a bit more shopping ourselves, buying [[BLANK]]
<@&1227805450758520882> What is it we buy now?
Reminders:
Personal Funds 10gp
Ship's Funds 280gp

I do support thee idea of getting stuff like rope and lanterns in case we ever need to like, explore caves or stuff
You're thinking Health Potions. It's noted that those are goods often held by wizards, but hey, that wizard guy looks like he might sell some
Don't think we'll have to bother with those
We already got Hemp Rope, 10 torches, and a tinderbox to light it.
I think we should make use of the discount and buy a discounted toolset
Browse and reference your favorite RPG rule sets for systems including D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and Cyberpunk RED.
Yeah sorry I completely forgot we still had stuff on the ship after the hell that was last fight
Yup.
In that case yeah, a toolset would be a good idea, not letting that discount go to waste
Standout Toolsets include a Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, Navigator's Tools, and Thieve's Tools
We might consider buying multiple toolsets and gifting them to the crew members who'd benefit from them most.
As Captain, Navigator's Tools just makes sense, and will help ensure we don't risk getting lost.
Yeah we likely wouldn't even be able to make use of the other ones that much
So, Navigator's Tools are a sure thing. Anybody else have any suggestions on what to get?
Remember, Toolsets are only 10gp compared to 20 normally, and we can get a pickaxe for only 1gp.
Might help if we head to the mines.
The thing is mines seem cool but we already have some crew going there and as captain we could try to use our time to possibly inquire more about our goals and such.
But if you think mines Is a good idea then I'm good with it. It's just one gold
Okay, SO
Navigator's Tools
Pickaxe
11gp of 10 + 280 spent.
This is what we're looking at so far.
Anything else <@&1227805450758520882> ?
Fine by me
Reminder that we already have a good weapon and heavy armor, so no need to worry about a blacksmith.
And then we spend the rest of the gold on rum
I'll wait for the team to suggest before putting the submission in.
Actually, speaking of:
It's cheap! We can buy a set for the crew and get wasted!
Actually not that bad an idea, a little something to cheer up the crew in case of need in a way
Okay, it looks fairly obvious that no one is gonna suggest something else to buy.
ACTION: We go to the Shady Guy and chat him up. We try to ask about any major happenings, including anything out to sea, and what's happening townside.
BONUS: After making purchases for our ship, we decide to do a bit more shopping ourselves, buying a set of Navigator’s Tools, a pickaxe, and 7 flasks of rum for our crew.
<@&1227805450758520882> Look good? This’ll be the last call before submission. Check below if it’s good.
Perfect
yippie!
Her cryptic message is getting me
There’s no river around here…
Also, the Arococura might be worth seeing. Stellar might be looking at it, already.
What's an Aurococura again
An Aarakocra is a Bird Person.
Arococura was me trying to spell it from memory
Another thing to consider: we ARE a Captain, and our ship has plenty of vacancies due to a recent event. We might want to look into potential enlistment for other crewmate NPCs
So if we see a capable enough fighter looking for work, we have another option.
Let's recruit a pigeon off the street
But yeah the shady person seem to possibly be looking for something possibly a cool fucking treasure. So we could try to follow them around and investigate?
I think talking to stella about what she said would be best
at the very least she can help us puzzle out what it means?
<@&1227805450758520882> you good with this plan or do you wanna do something else (and what do you wanna do with the bonus action)
Figuring out this strange riddle would also work
I say put it to a poll with the options we uave
Yeah, I definitely say that checking the river would be good, and piecing together our intelligence with Stelle might be nice. They seem to want to join with us anyway, so might as well make use of her.
I also say, with bonus, we ask that Wizard for help?
Yeah seem to be good
put up a poll 🙏
Well. It seems we’re all in agreement
So honestly, one of us could just post.
Not me tho. Headed to work
ACTION - Confer with Stella, if anything she might be able to help us work out what the Hooded Person meant
BONUS ACTION - Ask the wizard if they know anything about the hooded figure, or the pottery/river they were talking about
<@&1227805450758520882> last call! I'm gonna submit this soon unless anyone objects
Go for it
subbed it 👍
you got sorta shafted with the bonus action because it was thieves' cant sorry teehee
doing thieves' cant in this campaign like most of my campaigns as not an actual code since it is always too obvious but rather its like oh your character if they know it hear those words and just understand the secret message
guides like thieves cant but you can just do not work it is always far too obvious what the code is and you cannot structure speech without it sounding like garbage
Alright team. We got a gleaming bird man of Justice wanting to prove himself. We have a potential terrorist attack at sundown, and we need some new crew and info to take on a giant crystal monster.
We should try talking to the birb
Get the bird to stop the terrorist
Yeah, that might be the right thing to do…
But are we really gonna be a narc about it?
Yeah uh we should probably try to convince the bird man. He seem friendly
Can I write the actions for this one? Batguy you are doing great and I would hi five you for it but I realize I have just been floating here a bit.
Wait
We know where they'll attack from
Oh, for sure.
I’m actually gonna be writing something else tonight.
To those who know, get ready.
Alrighty. 
So my suggestion is to immediately discuss with the birdman.
And then with his help, try to scout through the Oldtown area with our bonus action. His bird creature will definitely help spot the perpetrators quicker. Perhaps we can stop them before anything is even able to be set ablaze.
How's that sound?
Wait wait wait slightly concerning thought surfaced
We sold them those firebombs.
Do you think bird guy can get the wrong idea?
Make sense yes
ACTION - Approach and Introduce ourselves to Iqis, and convince him that the town is in danger of being set ablaze by shady individuals, and that we need his help to make sure no one or anything is harmed.
BONUS ACTION - Scout out Oldtown, try to track and find the shady person and the firebomb purchaser as soon as possible.
Does this seem good guys?
<@&1227805450758520882>
makes sense to me
👍 sounds good to me
Yup!
hey all, member of the stella hivemind here
we are also planning on approaching the funny super warrior dude, with the intention of trying to get a read of the situation in town regarding the president/what the dusker company is doing
can we somehow combo our charismatic abilities to get the info/conveniently let the dude know that someone's running around town with firebombs?
Oh yeah cooperating is REALLY a good plan cause we might get arson on the menu tonight.
100% unplanned arson, and nobody had to cast fireball on a disagreeable stranger!
Gotcha
If yall want, we can ask about the situation first, then you can tell him that the firebomber probs wants to do smth about it
As long as he thinks we're all on the side of the angels, the message will get across
Sounds like a plan to me to, if both crew are fine with that
We agree!
chuck it in event subs when u can 🙏
ok so team spikebeard, you tell them about the attack, and team stella will back you up and say we saw someone with the firebombs as well
yall can still do your walking away bonus action as well after we have our chinwag with iqis
is this the action we should go with still then? (we don't need to modify it any since Stelle's backing us up instead of the reverse)
👍
I subbed the action since it seemed like we were good with it
I have a WIP of spike beard, it's not amazing but I think I'm cooking
I'm thinking of giving him a 'bones/skulls' theme, but I'm stuck on how I should draw the vest/ tunic part
Dude! You’re cooking with gas!
Hehehe
Thanks :) I hope you guys don't die to a mysterious and super powerful force tho
This is purposeful bad luck you know
Don't curse the character
for the action this round, should we potentially try to reconvene with the rest of the party?
If there is a monster in the field, we should try to check for any of the party that’s in the fields. That’d be John Golf, I think.
Oops my b sorry
i think that's a decent plan, maybe we should do this then
Action Converse with Iquis and try to narrow down where the beast in the Fields Lurks
Bonus Action Dash towards the fields as we think one of our crew is there and might be hurt
Great plan of action Milord
how does the rest of <@&1227805450758520882> feel?
Roll to make haste?
Don’t we have Haste as a spell?
just noticed yall talking here, i think we’re also likely visiting the fields so it might help to move together lol
Suggestion: We throw Stelle to get her there faster
cats do always land on their feet 🤔
i think that just might work
We should probably agree on a way to write this out.
ACTION: Give Guidance to Stelle to improve her chances of...
BONUS: Throw Stelle as hard as we can towards the field to give her a head start at finding this monster in the field
MOVEMENT: Start running to the field ourselves.
in that case our action will probably be confirming the location with iqis and just prepping to get thrown then lmao
I say it as a joke, but if you're cool with it.
i mean we're both going to the same place, the method doesn't matter too much
though stelle probably moves more quickly if we use both our action and ba to dash since that'll give us 150ft movement total
Consider it a head start.
trueee
<@&1227805450758520882> Yay or nay?
I think that's a good plan of action to take
yay
Aye aye capt
unless someone objects after i get up i think that's the action we're going with
so i'll submit it unless otherwise
wait i didn't check the event submissions chat, thanks for subbing it batguy
No prob, Bob
weeeeeeeee
are there any bonus action spells we would wanna cast in preparation for when we run in?
there isn't really anything i see that we can cast actually, i was thinking potentially hunter's mark but we really can't see anything right now i think
Yeah I guess just maybe readying to combat in case something happens?
if you guys dont have any prep you dont need to do a bonus action
Well I guess we could just run
Yeah
I mean we could ask iquis about stuff offhand as a bonus action but running seems the best bet
iqis did not come with you as far as you know or if he did he is not like within talking range/probably flying
so id say just when u can chuck in you're running 
ok 👍
HEY GANG! Let's go kill a monster! Or do a poison, do we even have ANY points in like poison knowledge or do we just have a really good throwing arm
Hm
i don't think we have any points in poison yeah
So let's fuck up a demon ganfg!
no problem, hows this sound though?
**ACTION **- Acknowledge the dwarf, but race downstairs and say "Don't Worry, we'll hold him off!"
BONUS ACTION - Be ready to Vow of Emnity the Beast when we get down the stairs (if we can see it)
Fine by me!
Looks good
it doesn't seem like anyone's opposed to this so i'll just go ahead and sub it
I promise I'll be more active next choice. I'll get us back to full functionality.
Hi guys
Yo
hello
Alright so how should we proceed? We are in good health so we could potentially go down to fight the thing in hope to hold it bacl
we could do that or also run to get the potion as it finishes next turn
Sorry, I know I said I'd take a more active role in this after last time, but I was at Comic-Con all day. Lemme read up to access where we are.
oh no problem, i hope you had fun at comic con!
honestly if i was there i wouldn't be active for the day either lol
I guess if we want to get the potion like frame 1 the best would be to block the staircase and possibly do a ranged attack. That way when it's ready next turn we quickly run to get it and use it on the monster
i think that blocking the staircase and being there to grab the potion when able is our best bet
Yeah
Good call
something like
Action - Wait at the top of the stairs and prepare to attack anything that comes up or grab the potion when it's ready
Bonus Action - ????
then
Sound good toe. We should probably use our bonus action to like, motivate our crew since the potion is almost ready
More tangibly, can't we use guidance?
Fine by me!
so then our plan would be
Action - Step down the stairs slightly and Use Guidance on Stelle
Bonus Action - Prepare to attack anything that comes up or grab the potion when it's ready
<@&1227805450758520882>
Yeah seem good
cool i'll sub that then
just have to message here so it appears on my sidebar
moving stuff over for the side server
