I thought Xavius was now the entertainer for Grok. Or just helping her around the ship in general.

Master Scourge is above Grok in the chain of command, so that means you are still a swab. However, if Grok has a need, she can ask Scourge to releave you of your duties in order to assist her. You have a friend in her, don't discount what that will mean down the line.

Well, at least I'm friends with the 2nd/3rd most powerful person on the ship which should be useful.

Not even. Grok is around the bottom of the officer totem pole with 'Fishguts' Kroop. But do not discount her due to lack of 'influence'.

I was thinking of having Sarone go back to his duties as Cook Assistant once the dust settles.

True, but then again she knows that you all stood together against Jipps and his gang.

True. But then again, what do you expect from a bard?

For Mr. Plugg, I'm trying to channel Rob Schneider from Down Periscope. It's a forgettable movie, but funny.

Does any one get that feel?

If Xavius was really evil, he could rip your throat out with his hook hand, but I don't think he'd feel right doing something like that.

I like to use the mentalities and appearances of various actors/actresses for the variety of NPCs.

Sandara- I'm going for a toughened Scarlet Johansen, but I'm more realisticly looking at a younger Jo Dee Messina.

Best picture that I thinking of.

Just waiting on Bart to post his reactions.

Also, since we're on the sobject of actors, Ezekial looks like Simon from Firefly.
Best picture of him when he is dry.

Kinda hard to pick an actress that best exemplifies The Qadiran, but a large part of her inspiration was plus-size model Rosie Mercado.

I don't think I could select a real life actor for my character since he is already based off of a character: Bartholomew Fatima from Xenogears...

Just for the records, the only person to have quarters to themselves is Captain Harrigan (though there is a small room for the cabin girl), which is A5 (A5a is the cabin girl's room).

The Officers (Mr. Plugg, Master Scourge, Riaris Krine, Peppery Longfarthing, and Habbly Quine) are in A4.

Quartermaster Grok and 'Fishguts' Kroop are in A7.

The rest of the crew (except for Owlbear) live in A10. This area has not been divided into rooms and the crew string hammocks across the various locations. There are also a number of sea lockers stacked off to the sides that are unused, with those being used under the various hammocks.

Also, I have sent private message out to the players who have not responded just yet. If they don't respond by Wednesday, their characters will be given a new wardrobe in crimson colors.

Or, if any one wishes to, they can take over one of the characters and play it in addition to their own.

Sorry guys. I was supposed to be working from home this week for an online course. Then Sandy came along and knocked out the power for a couple days. Once we got back on power, I had to download the course recordings for what I had missed and get caught back up with the class. I plan on posting something today during one of the breaks in class.

Figured as much. I wasn't too sure about moving too far forward or not with today. It was going to be hectic and I didn't want to switch GMs on the group during the middle of it.

What did you think of the two posts I put up?

It cool. You're not the only one, either. I think Unfair mentioned he was still interested, but has not posted at all.

Definitely. Tis the season. My family was down with a stomach flu last week. We seemed to have just passed it from one to the other.

Quick update: I will be out of town from the 21st to the 25th, and will likely not be posting, as I'll mostly be using my iPod for music purposes.

Hey all, just doing a check up. With the holidays here, I was expecting a slow.

So, who is still in?

I'm back, and I'm still in, though I feel like the insertion of the new character(s) was kind of jarring and has made posting a coherent plotting for the individual characters kind of hard. Plus, the updates have been slow, so I'm kind of forgetting what my character's opinions of the other characters are...

lol well when your gear has been stolen at the beginning of the campaign, it's not exactly easy getting it back... Magi are especially screwed since all of their abilities are pretty much stripped away without their gear/spell books if I would have known this was the case I would have planned the character better... the one time I build a str based magus is the one time I wish that he was completely and utterly dex based.
