#

Well then that's great!

#

I suppose that works for us then

#

Do we need a detailed shopping list of what to buy tho?

crisp onyx
#

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 🙏

novel nimbus
#

<@&1227805450758520882>

#

I'm on mobile rn and can't make a poll but is this good?

frozen wren
#

That looks great

novel nimbus
#

seemed pretty unanimous so I submitted it

opaque sphinx
#

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
turbid wigeon
#

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

novel nimbus
#

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)

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

Roll to persuade the crew this purchase will be beneficial. Nat 1. We get thrown overboard.

opaque sphinx
#

<@&1227805450758520882>

frozen wren
#

Chat it's obvious what we need to do. The shady NPC is always where the fun is.

opaque sphinx
#

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:

novel nimbus
#

could we buy a new pirate hat since the old captain sailed away with the old one

turbid wigeon
#

Buying drip

opaque sphinx
#

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.

analog lance
#

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

opaque sphinx
#

Yeah, like a half-length cloak. The collar has to be open in the front to allow for his “beard”

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

I think weapon wise we're fine, so maybe some rope? We could do some absoute shenanigans with it

opaque sphinx
#

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?

elder ingot
#

Did we get the aspirin bc you know

#

We almost stinking died

opaque sphinx
turbid wigeon
#

I do support thee idea of getting stuff like rope and lanterns in case we ever need to like, explore caves or stuff

opaque sphinx
opaque sphinx
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

Yeah sorry I completely forgot we still had stuff on the ship after the hell that was last fight

opaque sphinx
#

Yup.

turbid wigeon
#

In that case yeah, a toolset would be a good idea, not letting that discount go to waste

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

Yeah we likely wouldn't even be able to make use of the other ones that much

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

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

opaque sphinx
#

Okay, SO
Navigator's Tools
Pickaxe
11gp of 10 + 280 spent.

#

This is what we're looking at so far.

#

Anything else <@&1227805450758520882> ?

turbid wigeon
#

Fine by me

opaque sphinx
#

Reminder that we already have a good weapon and heavy armor, so no need to worry about a blacksmith.

turbid wigeon
#

And then we spend the rest of the gold on rum

opaque sphinx
#

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!

turbid wigeon
#

Actually not that bad an idea, a little something to cheer up the crew in case of need in a way

opaque sphinx
#

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.

frozen wren
#

Perfect

crisp onyx
#

yippie!

turbid wigeon
#

Aight so what now gang?

#

Like we could follow the shady person or do anything else

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

What's an Aurococura again

opaque sphinx
#

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.

turbid wigeon
#

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?

novel nimbus
#

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?

novel nimbus
#

<@&1227805450758520882> you good with this plan or do you wanna do something else (and what do you wanna do with the bonus action)

turbid wigeon
#

Figuring out this strange riddle would also work

#

I say put it to a poll with the options we uave

opaque sphinx
#

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?

turbid wigeon
#

Shadow wizard money gang

#

Solid plan I believe

novel nimbus
#

sure

#

seems good to me anyways

frozen wren
#

Yeah seem to be good

crisp onyx
#

put up a poll 🙏

opaque sphinx
#

Well. It seems we’re all in agreement

#

So honestly, one of us could just post.

#

Not me tho. Headed to work

novel nimbus
#

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

frozen wren
#

Go for it

novel nimbus
#

subbed it 👍

crisp onyx
#

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

opaque sphinx
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

Get the bird to stop the terrorist

opaque sphinx
#

Yeah, that might be the right thing to do…

#

But are we really gonna be a narc about it?

frozen wren
#

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

opaque sphinx
#

I’m actually gonna be writing something else tonight.

#

To those who know, get ready.

frozen wren
#

Alrighty. salute

#

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?

opaque sphinx
#

Free market

#

Can’t hold the sale of good liable to the person who sold them.

frozen wren
#

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>

elder ingot
#

makes sense to me

novel nimbus
#

👍 sounds good to me

opaque sphinx
#

Yup!

unborn wharf
#

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?

turbid wigeon
#

Oh yeah cooperating is REALLY a good plan cause we might get arson on the menu tonight.

severe apex
#

100% unplanned arson, and nobody had to cast fireball on a disagreeable stranger!

frozen wren
#

Gotcha

unborn wharf
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

Sounds like a plan to me to, if both crew are fine with that

frozen wren
#

We agree!

crisp onyx
#

chuck it in event subs when u can 🙏

frozen wren
#

Okay

#

Uh just have to make sure me and team Stella are locked in

unborn wharf
#

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

novel nimbus
frozen wren
#

Okay then

#

Im gonna send it

novel nimbus
#

👍

novel nimbus
#

I subbed the action since it seemed like we were good with it

analog lance
#

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

novel nimbus
#

yooooooooo

#

that's sick

opaque sphinx
#

Dude! You’re cooking with gas!

analog lance
#

Hehehe

#

Thanks :) I hope you guys don't die to a mysterious and super powerful force tho

severe apex
#

Don't curse the character

novel nimbus
#

for the action this round, should we potentially try to reconvene with the rest of the party?

opaque sphinx
#

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.

analog lance
novel nimbus
turbid wigeon
#

Great plan of action Milord

novel nimbus
#

how does the rest of <@&1227805450758520882> feel?

elder ingot
#

Roll to make haste?

opaque sphinx
#

Don’t we have Haste as a spell?

fluid sleet
#

just noticed yall talking here, i think we’re also likely visiting the fields so it might help to move together lol

opaque sphinx
#

Suggestion: We throw Stelle to get her there faster

fluid sleet
#

cats do always land on their feet 🤔

novel nimbus
#

i think that just might work

opaque sphinx
#

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.

fluid sleet
#

in that case our action will probably be confirming the location with iqis and just prepping to get thrown then lmao

opaque sphinx
#

I say it as a joke, but if you're cool with it.

fluid sleet
#

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

opaque sphinx
#

Consider it a head start.

fluid sleet
#

trueee

opaque sphinx
novel nimbus
#

I think that's a good plan of action to take

turbid wigeon
#

yay

frozen wren
#

Aye aye capt

novel nimbus
#

unless someone objects after i get up i think that's the action we're going with

#

so i'll submit it unless otherwise

novel nimbus
#

wait i didn't check the event submissions chat, thanks for subbing it batguy

opaque sphinx
#

No prob, Bob

crisp onyx
#

weeeeeeeee

novel nimbus
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

Yeah I guess just maybe readying to combat in case something happens?

crisp onyx
#

if you guys dont have any prep you dont need to do a bonus action

turbid wigeon
#

Well I guess we could just run

opaque sphinx
#

I guess just run.

#

We don’t have any spells that take a bit.

novel nimbus
#

Yeah

#

I mean we could ask iquis about stuff offhand as a bonus action but running seems the best bet

crisp onyx
#

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 Clueless

novel nimbus
#

ok 👍

turbid wigeon
#

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

frozen wren
#

Hm

novel nimbus
#

i don't think we have any points in poison yeah

turbid wigeon
#

So let's fuck up a demon ganfg!

opaque sphinx
#

Yes, let’s!

#

Sorry I haven’t been taking point on this as of late.

novel nimbus
#

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)

turbid wigeon
#

Fine by me!

opaque sphinx
#

Looks good

novel nimbus
#

it doesn't seem like anyone's opposed to this so i'll just go ahead and sub it

opaque sphinx
#

I promise I'll be more active next choice. I'll get us back to full functionality.

frozen wren
#

Hi guys

opaque sphinx
#

Yo

novel nimbus
#

hello

turbid wigeon
#

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

novel nimbus
#

we could do that or also run to get the potion as it finishes next turn

opaque sphinx
#

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.

novel nimbus
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

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

novel nimbus
#

i think that blocking the staircase and being there to grab the potion when able is our best bet

frozen wren
#

Yeah

opaque sphinx
#

Good call

novel nimbus
#

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

turbid wigeon
#

Sound good toe. We should probably use our bonus action to like, motivate our crew since the potion is almost ready

opaque sphinx
#

More tangibly, can't we use guidance?

novel nimbus
#

I think that's a decent plan yeah

#

would guidance be our action then?

turbid wigeon
#

Fine by me!

novel nimbus
#

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>

frozen wren
#

Yeah seem good

novel nimbus
#

cool i'll sub that then

crisp onyx
#

just have to message here so it appears on my sidebar Clueless moving stuff over for the side server
