Saltmarsh OOC Chat

[Breila]

I'm glad you folks enjoyed yourselves, so no objections there. Just too bad that neither Vee nor Kim could contribute, but that's it.

But I would prefer that we all go on to the next adventure together. I'm sure Brax and Searos will have plenty of opportunities to talk in coming days, so please close the night at the inn.

It will be work enough to juggle the two parallel timelines of the seagull expedition for most of the group and the investigation at Saltmarsh that Martin and Geraldine will be conducting.

(OOC: Just speaking for myself here, but it's been over four months since our last adventure, so I'm pretty eager to move things forward.)

Well, I had the impression that most players were enjoying the roleplay.
Also, I thought it useful to give you time to organise as a group, so that the next adventure can finish well without a magic ring and a bailout.
And I've already pointed out that the Seagull is probably similar in build to the ship the Saltmarsh smugglers are using, so it might be useful to get to know it a bit, so you have an idea of what you might find behind the doors of the smuggler's ship later on, where escape routes may be or where there are good places for an ambush...

As I said, I'm only speaking for myself, and nobody else.

And I enjoy roleplay, it's just...four months. We actually had a 41 page thread of nothing but downtime. I like a nice balance between downtime and adventure. Too much of either tends to run me down after awhile.

And yeah, I'm all for getting organized. But as Amon has pointed out, we don't have any information to use to organize. Every situation is different, and it's hard to come up with one-size-fits-all strategies. We don't know what we're up against just yet. Like, people keep saying the mages should discuss which spells to memorize. But we don't know what this adventure will consist of. Lots of fighting? Lots of sleuthing? Lots of diplomacy? We don't know. So, yeah, there's just not much to talk about in terms of organizing and strategy yet.

But, that's just me, as I said.

Parallel timelines - always fun for the DM.

[Jenara]

I'm having fun, enjoying the interaction and finding more of the character and others.

Seeing that no one is interested in his offer of a tour of the boat, Sam the halfling shrugs and returns to the galley.

Hun, Brax and Vee were never given the offer, no one actually came to tell them there was food either.

[Breila]

Well, I assumed the "her quarters" for Echo as meaning the woman's quarters (as I had clarified she had none of her own, but shared with the other women), so Brax and Vee would have known about the foood.

Sam offered the tour when he was gathering everybody's plates, entering all the rooms. I tired to move on things a bit, to get to the adventure proper.

[Jenara]

Yeah that was never fully clarified, should have mentioned it yesterday sorry.

Its all good.

[Stik]

Breila - are you waiting for something more from me in Martin's thread?

[Breila]

Oh, sorry. I had read that post but was so busy with real life that I didn't realise it was my cue. Also, I think we can take it slowly because the others will need a lot more time to complete their few days than we will.

[Jenara]

I trust if the remaining three stay up that won't be an issue will it?

[Breila]

No, the only thing is if you want to invest that game time or rather start the real adventure.

[Jenara]

Amon pales, then turns a little green. Not only did Brax admit to eating humans, but eating a cute animal was somehow more alien to her than eating sentient beings.

"We...should move on," he says weakly, feeling sick to his stomach. He quickens his pace, making sure to always keep a certain amount of distance between him and the cleric.

Hey she is from an Alien Culture, she isnt just an Elf with funny skin.... lol

You guys realize we never finished dividing up the loot from the mansion caper, right? I mean, we did some of it, but not all of it.

So who is currently in possession of the following things?

20 gp credit, gold locket (30 gp), three emeralds (100-125gp), small box containing 101 gp, a fine broadsword, a fine large two headed axe, two fine longswords, a small fine handaxe, gold earring, silver ring, silk clothes (500 gp), unspecified poison vials (chloroform?), 12 cp, 10 sp, and a silver signet ring.

[Breila]

Anything the party did not take prior to being captured by the smugglers was taken by the Saltmarsh militia and is now in the coffers of the council. I would need to re-read the game thread to see who took what.
