Err, did Nas learn anything from her Craft check and Knowledge check? I was hoping to post with her being able to offer to fix something, maybe impress the ones yelling with knowledge about the ship.

Sorry. Saw it and then forgot to go back and answer.
The ship is a three mast ship. Coupled with the lack of evidence of siege equipment, it is definitely built for speed. The ship appears to be in good shape overall but it has seen its share of conflict.

I'm sorry to say, but I will be unable to post between June 2-June 9 beacause I'm camping. I don't know what I'll do about it. Someone else could play Xavius for me.

Sorry guys, I think I'm going to drop out. No insult meant to the DM, he does a great job, I'm just interested in quicker paced games.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. The weekend was the best birthday I have ever had thanks to my wife.
Arillius, sorry to see you go. Unfortunately my schedule does not allow for me to post any more often than I do. The only way I could post more often is for me to drop a couple of games which I can not do at this time. No hard feelings. And for those reasons, if anyone else feels the same way please let me know. I hold no grudges if people feel this isn't moving fast enough.
Is there anyone who wants to run Xavius till Thattaman returns? If not, I will keep him in the background.

I could run him, seems like his character is built around talking himself up so he has some street cred... though if it works it will backfire lol

Each PC can normally take two ship actions each day, one during the day and one at night. A PC can also attempt to take up to two additional ship actions during the middle watch in the dead of night (any nighttime ship action marked with an asterisk), but to do so the PC must make a successful Constitution check (DC 10, +4 per extra ship action taken) or be fatigued for the next day.

Daytime Ship Actions
Work Diligently: Gain a +4 bonus on any one check for a job’s daily task
Influence: Make normal checks for a job’s daily task and attempt to influence a single NPC
Sneak: Make normal checks for a job’s daily task and briefly explore one area of the ship (the PC can make a single Perception check or other skill check with no chance of detection)
Shop: Take a –2 penalty on all checks for a job’s daily task and visit the quartermaster’s store
Shirk: Take a –2 penalty on all checks for a job’s daily task and take time exploring one area of the ship. The PC can take 10 on a single Perception check or other skill check, but must make a check to avoid being discovered.

Nighttime Ship Actions
Sleep: Go to bed early and sleep through the night (automatically recover from fatigue)
Gamble: Play or gamble on a game of chance or pirate entertainment
Entertain: Make one Perform check to entertain the crew
Influence*: Attempt to influence a single NPC
Sneak*: Take time exploring one area of the ship. The PC can take 20 on a single Perception check or other skill check, but must make a check to avoid being discovered.
Steal*: Attempt to open a locked door or locker. The PC must make a check to avoid being discovered.

Yes, you will be able to get your starting equipment back. I am working towards the introduction of that.

Awesome sauce, Bart shall make good with the crew, screw the officers I can buy people off with my rum ration! So I guess my night activity will be influence, if I can get the crew on my side that will go a really long way... too bad magus are not built for any of the actions you have listed oh well he will be great when a fight comes along!

I will be traveling next week and some the week after next. I will have internet access for the most part, but not sure what my availability will be like. I will post as best I can, but if you need to bot me go right ahead.

Sorry to everyone for it being so quiet here of late. I have been super busy both at home and at work which has really impacted my ability to post to the game (or any of my games for that matter.) I hope to have something posted before the end of the day or early tomorrow morning.

I checked and posted in the IC before the OOC, so I didn't know I was only able to do one perform and no influence. If I have my instrument, take the string performance, otherwise, take my act one.

That's fine. The act of performing acts as an Influence on the crew as well. Basically, there are a number of ways to influence the crew, both directly and indirectly. Gambling and Performing are indirect influences while Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate are direct. But they all work to the same goal - ingratiating yourselves with the rest of the crew.

Waiting for a stealth check from slugboy_73. We will proceed on Monday if I have not heard anything from him. I believe he is away this week so we should hear something from him this weekend.

Sorry, wasn't sure who would make the rolls. Here is my stealth;

Stealth to explore the cargo hold: (1d20+2)[7]

I gotta remember to not bring my collection of pots and pans when I go exploring.
