Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie carries Rusty in his arms as he approaches Rabbi Cohen. As he nears, he stops a little off center of facing the Rabbi directly. He smiles in a distracted manner before placing two fingers to his temple and then pointing at the Rabbi’s head. He repeats the gesture.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Rabbi Cohen is duped into playing charades instead of speaking. He two-finger points to Hoggie, and nods as he two-finger points to his own temples.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie will stare with concentration at Rabbi Cohen briefly before relaxing.
Spoiler: Hoggie>>>Rabbi Cohen
“During our journey, we were ambushed and robbed by a group of stone “demons” that could fly and hide underground. They claimed to have a prior grudge against members of our group (Skald) for killing their king. They said that they would continue to attack us and should be considered a threat. Skald knows where their lair can be found.”
After a thorough recap of the aborted attempt to negotiate the acquisition of the Sea Wyvern from the “Fish man” and subsequent battle, Hoggie continues:
“I Felt at the time that risking just myself and Rusty to try and avoid violence was the best option at the time. This creature’s right to live unmolested was not trumped by our need to protect our home. Did I do the right thing?”
(Pause for the Rabbi to respond.)
“I realize now that some problems cannot be resolved peacefully and that it is the best interest of the group that we use force to advance our interests.”
Spoiler: Crunch
spend a use of Telepathic Bond to speak to Rabbi Cohen.
This represents a seminal change in how Hoggie perceives the world. I don’t know if this changes his alignment but his perspective in relation to his concept of “Good” has changed.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Rabbi Cohen frowns. Not a "disappointed in you" frown, but just a thoughtful frown.
Spoiler: Rabbi Cohen >>> Hoggie"We might never know all the variables that went into this. Sure, objectively and dispassionately speaking .... your actions caused a cascade of failures.
"But I don't want you to feel that your deepest belief - that peace is achievable and worthy - is a bad way to go. Sometimes, it's the other guy. Sometimes, it's something about you. You can never know it all. But I will admit, that you present yourself to the world in a confusing manner. Having a good intention to conduct fair negotiations isn't just up to willingness. It really is up to talent and skill. I'd be willing to help you with that, if you let me." (i.e., training in Diplomacy)
"You sought the greatest good, Hoggie. That is a worthy thing. They say no good deed goes unpunished. But failure in an attempt does not mean the attempt was therefore abortive because it failed. That is hindsight thinking, and grossly unfair to yourself. And it sounds to me like Rhoha was spoiling for a fight, anyway."11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie seems happier if not happy. He smiles at a spot over Rabbi Cohen’s left shoulder and strolls off down the beach to the launch.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
DAY 46-50
And with that, the Blue Nixie and its pickup are sailing south again. The high-water wreck of the Sea Wyvern taunting its would be captain (Rabbi Cohen) as much as those who lost so much to get here, and nobody says it, but it is the same as having "lost a battle" in what might prove to be a very short war.
It's going to take about 4 full days for the Blue Nixie to speed with all haste back to Farshore.
In the meantime, Rhoha can take time to meditate to learn more about himself.
Does anyone have anything they want to do on the voyage back home?11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie will attempt to discuss strategy on defending Farshore with the leadership. He has some ideas on how to trap the approach from the beach, if there is time. He will keep a cognatogen prepared (Int) if he has the resources.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie does NOT, in fact, have the resources. He needs an alchemy crafting kit, and the stone demons stole that.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Hoggie explains the thoughts he had about sand pits with concealed cover on the beach, like quick sand. Maybe obstacles like driftwood with sharpen stakes to funnel the attackers; keep them from using their superior numbers. Probably not enough time now, he thinks.

Kabsi also mediates, worrying about the battle ahead and what triage he might be forced to do in its aftermath.

Re: The Savage Tide III: Tides of Dread [IC]
Rhoha mostly meditates on the trip back. He prepares his armor and fists as best he can for the fight he sees before them, and starts to explore what has changed with himself. He expects Sparkles to return sometime on the second day of the trip.

This game has officially shut down.
Thank you to everyone over the last 10 years who have played this game, but it no longer is worth running for me.
