Darkest Prison: You awake early the next morning, when Thomas accidently trips his own alarm spell...somehow...
Darkest Prison: (or, fail a listen check if you want to stay asleep, I guess...)
ranzunar: (Dolo is famous for missing listen checks)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
OnlineHost: JoviCreamePuff rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
JoviCreamePuff: "Oh god damnit!"
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Darkest Prison: Youall make it!
Darkest Prison: Except Charir, I guess
BardicLasher: Charir got a listen 10.
ranzunar: (stupid irony 20 listen says I'm up) "Please let that not be Thomas....again"
BardicLasher: "Graa?" Charir asked.
Darkest Prison: (I'll say that's enough to ignore it)
Darkest Prison: Charir can hear a faint buzzing sound between the realm of dream and reality, but just rolls over to his side
JoviCreamePuff: "Aaaagh, can't you hear that?"
JoviCreamePuff: She gave Charir a two shakes before rolling out of the hammock, grumbling.
Darkest Prison: "....too early...to get up..."
ranzunar: "Guess it's time to wake up" (Beginning morning equipping and hygiene progress, 20 cha takes an effort)
BardicLasher: "...Nng... Why would I want to?" he asked, opening his eyes halfway. "I was having a great dream... The villagers were fleeing before my might."
JoviCreamePuff: "Was I playing a rock ballad in the background?"
ranzunar: "That or your breath, come on buddy wake up"
Darkest Prison: Dais rolled off his hammock to the ground."...oww..."
BardicLasher: "Nope. You were playing the Log song." He shrugged and pushed himself to his feet, starting to clean up for the day. Prestidigitation for the win.
Darkest Prison: "The alarm went off! The alarm went off! GUUUUUUUYS! We're in danger!"
Darkest Prison: He yelled, running up and down the deck hall
ranzunar: Sigh. "What kind of danger Thomas?"
JoviCreamePuff: "Dispell Magic." She grumbled, trying to crush the alarm.
Darkest Prison: (offtopic: didn't obama sign in on a wednesday?)
Darkest Prison: (roll it)
ranzunar: (no tuesday)
OnlineHost: JoviCreamePuff rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
JoviCreamePuff: (16!)
Darkest Prison: (...was gonna say, 7 doesn't divide evenly into 100)
JoviCreamePuff: (What?)
Darkest Prison: Anne fails
JoviCreamePuff: "...Grrr. I said Dispell Magic!"
OnlineHost: JoviCreamePuff rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
JoviCreamePuff: (26!)
Darkest Prison: (100th day in office bs. just randomly had a "wait a minute..." thought)
Darkest Prison: The alarm stops
JoviCreamePuff: "Thank god."
Darkest Prison: "I don't know. But, the alarm! It triggered!"
Darkest Prison: The other sailors asleep in the hallway are all cursing, you can hear from behind their doors
JoviCreamePuff: "Until someone goes "Rar, ima eat you," and they aren't Charir, I'm ignoring it."
BardicLasher: "What triggered it?" Charir asked, stretching his wings. "Rar I'ma... Ooh, not Charir. Right."
Darkest Prison: "Out of curiousity, do you ever say that to guys?"
Darkest Prison: "And if so, do you ever feel weird about the double entendre?"
BardicLasher: "Dude, don't be gay."
ranzunar: "Just calm down Thomas and remain as inconspicuous as possible"
Darkest Prison: "Wasn't trying to be."
Darkest Prison: "Right!" He cast invisibility, though you could hear him snivellingi n the corner
Darkest Prison: *snivelling
JoviCreamePuff: "You should learn Silence, so no one could hear you sniffling in fear when you're hiding."
ranzunar: "Wouldn't that screw up your verbal components for other spells?"
BardicLasher: "I can still see him," Charir said.
JoviCreamePuff: "There are plenty of spellcasters in the world who don't care about that."
Darkest Prison: "Not to mention the fact wizards can't cast silence..."
ranzunar: "Whisper gnome wizards can"
BardicLasher: "Right, nobody cares," Charir said, finishing getting dressed. "Now, let's go get breakfast." And he promptly headed off to find food.
JoviCreamePuff: "If I wanted to, I totally could."
JoviCreamePuff: "Breakfast!" She wandered off after him.
BardicLasher: "I wonder if they serve Mermaid on this cruise."
Darkest Prison: Breakfast was basically just biscuits and butter
JoviCreamePuff: "I'm guessing the answer is probably 'No.'"
ranzunar: "What does that taste like? Surf and magic turf?
BardicLasher: "Kinda like tuna."
Darkest Prison: You can hear commotion and shouting coming from above deck
Darkest Prison: (mermaid has high levels of mercury?)
JoviCreamePuff has left the room.
JoviCreamePuff has entered the room.
BardicLasher: "Sonofa.." Charir headed up to the deck.
ranzunar: "Aw, crap. Why can this never be a calm cruise" Running up as well
Darkest Prison: Puler is out of the cabin. "It has no flag, you say? Hail back to them, but be careful."
Darkest Prison: (spot checks, if you'd like)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
BardicLasher: 25
ranzunar: (Dolo is oblivious again, 7)
JoviCreamePuff: ((I missed an important posted between "hint of pork" and "sonofa"
Darkest Prison: There is a single ship approaching from the south, waving a generic flag as a sign of greeting
JoviCreamePuff: ((Internet hiccuped))
Darkest Prison: (hint of pork? when was that?)
Darkest Prison: Darkest Prison: You can hear commotion and shouting coming from above deck
Darkest Prison: (that?)
BardicLasher: ((When did someone say hint of pork?
JoviCreamePuff: ((That's what I missed, yup))
JoviCreamePuff: BardicLasher (5:42:29 PM): "Kinda like tuna."JoviCreamePuff (5:42:38 PM): "With a hint of pork."
Darkest Prison: The ship pulls within 100 ft, a single man standing on the deck waving
JoviCreamePuff: ((And then my internet sploded for a minute))
Darkest Prison: (we never saw that post)
JoviCreamePuff: Annette frowned off in the distance, activiating her amplifier.
Darkest Prison: "Salutations!"
Darkest Prison: "Permit me to board your vessel, please. I am an unarmed representative of my fleet."
ranzunar: Activate message "Be weary, one hand can wave, while the other grasps a blade"
Darkest Prison: He displays that he has no weapons on his person
Darkest Prison: (spot check if you want to verify)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
ranzunar: (10 says I see nothing)
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
OnlineHost: JoviCreamePuff rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
BardicLasher: Spot fail
JoviCreamePuff: (13 says negative ghost rider)
Darkest Prison: He looks completely unarmed
ranzunar: "What do you want and what do you need stranger?"
Darkest Prison: "You and only you may board. If just one other of your crew advances towards our ship without permission, we will destroy your vessel."
BardicLasher: "With fire!"
Darkest Prison: "Agreed."
JoviCreamePuff: "And stuff."
Darkest Prison: He throws out a wooden plank and ventures over to your boat. "you are out of your country's waters, you realize."
Darkest Prison: "Last I heard, this area was under no one's authority, but yes. We are out beyond the normal expanse of our country."
Darkest Prison: "we demand tribute in return for your safe passage through the area. This sea has been laid claim to."
Darkest Prison: "...That's preposterous."
BardicLasher: "Hold on, hold on... We've got this."
Darkest Prison: "Oh?"
Darkest Prison: (spellcraft)
BardicLasher: Charir stepped up beside the captain. "Rassy! This man wishes for Tribute. Be so kind as to oblidge?"
Darkest Prison: "He means money. I'm sure you knew that..."
Darkest Prison: The diplomat casts a spell, looking over everyone on board
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Darkest Prison: Detect Magic
OnlineHost: JoviCreamePuff rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
ranzunar: (spellcraft 25?)
JoviCreamePuff: (spellcraft 24)
BardicLasher: Spellcraft very yes... Okay, he's casting detect magic.
ranzunar: "And just how much tribute do you want gentlemen?"
Darkest Prison: "hmm..these guys are loaded with stuff..." he muttered softly under his breath
Darkest Prison: "We're like the church, we expect a tithe of 1/10 your valuables for a year's of safe travel." He grinned
JoviCreamePuff: "Sure thing!" Annette grinned, starting to strum a mellow series of chords on her guitar. "This is the greatest and best song.. in the world.."
Darkest Prison: "No music during negotiations."
Darkest Prison: "I can't hear myself think."
ranzunar: "What kind of church does this? Hypnogogia for example asks for no material tithes?"
Darkest Prison: "Who?"
Darkest Prison: "...I'm not giving him anything."
BardicLasher: "...Why is it that you won't let me handle this?" Charir wagged his fingers at the others.
JoviCreamePuff: "Nonsense." She said, continuing to strum her guitar, giving the diplomat +2 to diplomacy checks.
ranzunar: (+3, song of the heart adds to this as well)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Actually, that's all wrong))
JoviCreamePuff: ((And I'm a goof))
JoviCreamePuff: ((Annette doesn't do that because that's not a class ability))
Darkest Prison: "We haven't many valuables on baord anyway. The only ones with anything of much value is likely our guests, and I cannot in conscience ask them to pay you off"
JoviCreamePuff: "Just let Charir handle it."
Darkest Prison: *good conscience
Darkest Prison: (been waiting for charir to handle it)
BardicLasher: ((And people kept talking and interrupting and ruining it.))
ranzunar: "You want to handle this, go for it Charir" (and with that I use message to inspire competence for +3 to Charir)
BardicLasher: ((You were supposed to let Rassy play Tribute. :-P ))
Darkest Prison: (who is rassy?)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Use your deductive reasoning))
BardicLasher: (( Rassy is what Charir has continually been calling Anette.))
BardicLasher: Charir took a deep breath, "All right, my good man... You request what, one tenth of our wealth in return for safe passage, yes?"
Darkest Prison: "Correct."
BardicLasher: "And it is only fair that the passengers through this sea pay tribute to its rightful owners, true?"
Darkest Prison: "...Yes."
BardicLasher: "After all, this sea certainly belongs to someone. Not fair to just go wandering through it, now is it?"
Darkest Prison: "Not at all."
BardicLasher: "Well, I'm so glad to hear that. You do know what sea this is, dont you?"
Darkest Prison: "Of course I do."
BardicLasher: "Then I happily accept your tribute of one tenth your wealth!"
Darkest Prison: "...what?!"
ranzunar: (I knew I should have given him that bonus to bluff)
Darkest Prison: "We own this are of the sea! You cannot ossibly be trying to tell me otherwise?"
Darkest Prison: *possibly
BardicLasher: "Oh, I apologize, I didn't properly introduce myself. I am Charir Vignar, of the line of Valignat of the line of Anandak of the line of Asharladon. This sea was claimed many, many years ago by that ancestor of mine before he tore
BardicLasher: out his heart and replaced it with a balor. Though he has always allowed others to come and go as they please, this place really being beyond his notice now, it is still his to rule and thus mine, as his desendant. Now, I would
BardicLasher: happily allow you to continue working here... Perhaps even continue to toll passangers in my name... In exchange for that ten percent you believe is so vital to tax."
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
BardicLasher: Bluff 41.
Darkest Prison: (lol)
Darkest Prison: He tries to think about the history of the place...
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Darkest Prison: "I don't recall ANY of that..."
Darkest Prison: "You sound convincin,g and maybe one day past, this area was yours."
BardicLasher: "You're trying to claim ownership of a sea you know nothing about? Human arrogance knows no bounds, it seems." ((Assuming he looks human. Otherwise substitute with elven, dwarvish, pandaren... etc))
BardicLasher: (( **Test?
JoviCreamePuff: ((pass)
Darkest Prison: (sorry)
Darkest Prison: (phone call.)
Darkest Prison: "We have claimed this sea as ours now."
Darkest Prison: "You know full well an onership claim to property is only good so long as it can be enforced."
Darkest Prison: "No one stopped us from taking these waters as our own, so they belong to our kingdom now.."
JoviCreamePuff: ((Brb. It's apparently life threatening to take apicture of this blanket))
ranzunar: (I think he just said the magic word)
Darkest Prison: (what word?)
ranzunar: ("enforce ownership")
BardicLasher: Charir sighed a bit. "Damned squatters. Alright," he said with a roll of his eyes. "I'll call upon the full fury of Asharladon, first of the fiendish pact, lord of rage, to enforce it..." He took a few steps back and began muttering
BardicLasher: what sounded vaugly like a prayer.
Darkest Prison: "You're threatening me now?"
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
BardicLasher: Intimidate 32.
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Darkest Prison: He quivers a bit, looking nervous
BardicLasher: I can whisper back through the message spell, right?
Darkest Prison: (only to the person who cast it)
ranzunar: (if you want Dolo to redirect messages go for it)
BardicLasher: Dolo, be a dear and tell Dais to image up a half-fiendish red dragon...
BardicLasher: Big, bad... High as possible and coming down.
BardicLasher: If they don't crap their pants at that, let's just kill them.
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
ranzunar: (consider it done, Dais an illusion please, half fiend red dragon)
Darkest Prison: (Dais can create...13 10 ft cubes...)
BardicLasher: Fill them.
Darkest Prison: Dais whispers back, "Does it need sound?"
BardicLasher: It couldn't hurt.
ranzunar: (make it as convincing as possible)
Darkest Prison: Dais calls out to his god for "aid," and the sky thunders and darkens overhead, as the clouds turn blood red and a dragon slowly rips itself out from amongst them
Darkest Prison: It is a gargantuan red dragon with horns, vacant eyes, and an unworldly howl
Darkest Prison: (good?)
Darkest Prison: (minor image)
BardicLasher: ((Good.))
ranzunar: (perfect)
Darkest Prison: "...Ah! What the hell is that?!" He falls to his knees
BardicLasher: "...I just said. Weren't you even listening?" Charir asked.
Darkest Prison: "Argh! Gotta...get away..."
Darkest Prison: He RUNS back to his ship and it promptly paddles away
Darkest Prison: Unless someone wants to stop him/it
BardicLasher: "HOLD IT!" Charir shouted, casting Incendiary Slime on the plank before he could reach it.
BardicLasher: "There was that matter of my TRIBUTE."
Darkest Prison: "I...I...just take it all! i don't have much!"
ranzunar: (Damn it why didn't I buy a Quall's feather token anchor?)
BardicLasher: "Dolo, you heard the man. Take it all!"
Darkest Prison: He tosses a coin pouch
Darkest Prison: Puler looks astonished. "Just who in the hell are you people?"
BardicLasher: "I meant of the whole of your ship..."
ranzunar: (Dolo catches) "Well your safety is ensured but the rest of your crew hmmmm..... yeah"
Darkest Prison: "All hands! pull away now! Man the deck with crossbows in case that thing comes nearer to us!"
JoviCreamePuff: ((Back))
JoviCreamePuff: ((What happened?))
Darkest Prison: (shockand awe diplomacy)
ranzunar: (awesomeness, start reading)
BardicLasher: "Captain, have some of your men board, take what you want... Dais, if you please, commune with my esteemed Ancestor... Inform him not to destroy our pitiful enemies because they appear to be willing to pay tribute to his granduer."
Darkest Prison: The boats start pulling apart, plank falling in the water
Darkest Prison: The captain's already ordering to pull away
BardicLasher: "No." Charir hurled a fireball at the other ship's mast. Fuck that ship's mast.
Darkest Prison: The diplomat's ship has no qualms leaving him behind
ranzunar: "Patience captain, we are fully in control of the situation"
Darkest Prison: (guess i need to look up those catch on fire rules)
BardicLasher: ((It's fireball. DOesn't actually set things on fire. It just destroys masts))
Darkest Prison: "You commune with demons! How cna i trust you're in control?"
ranzunar: "stay a moment and witness history being rewritten"
Darkest Prison: "In fact, I'd be more worried if you were in control."
JoviCreamePuff: "...Weren't you listening? It's his grandpa!"
Darkest Prison: (puler's not evil. if anything, that one of his passangers is demonspawn only makes him more on edge)
Darkest Prison: "Hey! Don't leave me! Damn you!"
ranzunar: using message "trust me captain, not all is as it appears"
BardicLasher: ((And the award for best actor goes to CHarir... ANd the award for special effects to Dais.))
Darkest Prison: "If you truly consort with demons, you'll be asked to leave on a life raft."
ranzunar: (that was freackin insane, I just wished that Dolo could have done more)
Darkest Prison: "I don't want to have you on board, nor help you in whatever your sick aims may be."
BardicLasher: "Captain, please chase after them, if you wish a share of the tributes. Otherwise, they're going to have to be scuttled and no rewards will be gained."
Darkest Prison: "I am not pursuing, if anything tey're retreating to allied vessels. To follow would be suicide."
Darkest Prison: "Especially with THAT thing hanging over our heads."
JoviCreamePuff: Annette rolled her eyes.
Darkest Prison: I think you were too convincing...
BardicLasher: "Dais, if you would please ask Esteemed Ancestor to be loud and intimidating over the enemy boat?" Charir exhales a mist, then leaps off the boat, skimming the water to near the other.
Darkest Prison: Thomas finally emerges on deck at this point
Darkest Prison: Looking up, he faints
ranzunar: "It seems like we finally found a way to shut him up"
BardicLasher: Charir plans to do a flying run towards the other ship as Dais distracts them, cast Combust, and then fly back.
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Darkest Prison: The fleeing ship is in fact on fire
BardicLasher: And then back to the boat!
ranzunar: "Time to quell the fires at home, Captain, don't tell Charir as he continues in pursuit of them but it was really just deceitful use of magic. No actual demons are under our control"
Darkest Prison: Dais moves the image after the fleeing ship
Darkest Prison: "Speaking of which, I can't just extend this thing forever."
BardicLasher: They'll surely realize Asharladon''s not there after a few rounds of fire... But not before the fire starts spreading over their ship.
ranzunar: "just make it fly back into the clouds as you end your reach"
Darkest Prison: "Ok."
ranzunar: (*rereads inspire recklessness* aw crap only one ally is affected when I do this)
Darkest Prison: (what is charir doing?)
Darkest Prison: (that sucks)
BardicLasher: ...One more shot of combust, and them, if their ship is on fire, he's flying back to his allies. He's not taking them all on alone...
BardicLasher: Right.
ranzunar: (super combo of god death no longer works)
Darkest Prison: The ship's sail is in flames, speading down the mast, as desperate sailors try to contain it asthe ship is rowed onwards at top speed
BardicLasher: "...Well, that could've gone better," Charir said once back. "Want to chase them a bit and see if we can't get them before they get to safety?"
Darkest Prison: Charir touches the ship to set it more on fire
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
BardicLasher: Okay, right, Char's still out there.
Darkest Prison: But he fails to significantly ignite anything
BardicLasher: Oh, well.
Darkest Prison: The fiend dragon fades into the clouds as it reaches the limit of its range
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 100-sided die: 10
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 100-sided die: 75
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 100-sided die: 28
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 10 100-sided dice: 18 94 77 10 99 85 35 70 46 44
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 10 20-sided dice: 14 7 13 3 2 8 3 14 3 18
Darkest Prison: The fire spreads a bit more on its own, but the crew is desperately able to put it out long after it sails beyond view, with significant damage having been done to the mast and sail.
Darkest Prison: "So, that was fun."
JoviCreamePuff: "Yeah, it was kinda neat to see the diplomat piss himself, but the captain was really bringing me down."
JoviCreamePuff: ((brb, feeding the cats))
BardicLasher: "It was," Charir said. "A shame we didn't get that tribute. Sorry. My bad."
Darkest Prison: "And you know what? Before I stop concentrating? Here, let me show you how fake it was."
Darkest Prison: The image flies back through the clouds at incredible speed, dive bombing the queen fury
Darkest Prison: Many on board duck and close their eyes as it flies right through the ship like a ghost
Darkest Prison: "That's right! It's also undead!" he laughed, ending concentration
Darkest Prison: (test?)
BardicLasher: (( Hi!))
BardicLasher: Right, back on the ship. "Totally fun, though."
ranzunar: "Sorry for the scare to you and your crew captain, but it was the best way to avoid any unneeded pain on our part"
ranzunar: "Not necessarily on their part but I prefer not getting hurt and still be in route"
Darkest Prison: "So he's not really the descendant of an evil red dragon overlord, then?" Puler asked of charir
ranzunar: "As an old friend of mine once said, Do not ask that which you fear the answer to"
ranzunar: (brb)
BardicLasher: "Asharladon's been dead for a long, long time," Charir said. "He's a Vestige these days."
Darkest Prison: "...I'm not feeling terribly reassured right now..."
Darkest Prison: "Damn you fuckers! You tricked me!"
Darkest Prison: The diplomat was still on board...
JoviCreamePuff: ((back, finally))
BardicLasher: "I trick a lot of people," Charir said. "I'm Larry Beleren, professional bullshitter."
OnlineHost: BardicLasher rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
BardicLasher: Bluff a lot.
Darkest Prison: "Whatever, Larry. you guys just pissed off the wrong folks."
JoviCreamePuff: "Man, if I had an egg..." Annette said, laughing at the diplomat.
ranzunar: "Would you rather be a live fool or a dead idiot?"
BardicLasher: "Well, now they've got a damaged ship. I'm not worried about it. So, do you want to die, or got some sort of service you can provide us? Cappy, do you has brig?"
Darkest Prison: "Whatever. Not like what i say or do at this point matters."
Darkest Prison: "What?"
ranzunar: "Do you heed quarter to prisoners?"
JoviCreamePuff: "A brig, mutha fuckuh. Do you has one?"
Darkest Prison: "Yes, we have a brig."
Darkest Prison: "And i thought sailors had poor grammar."
BardicLasher: "My grandmother was a lolcat."

Darkest Prison: The seas are calm, and not much else happens of note the rest of that day, night time setting in
JoviCreamePuff: ((back))
JoviCreamePuff: "This is boring..."
Darkest Prison: "In the case of being on sea, isn't boring good?"
BardicLasher: "Nope. Hot threesomes are good. Where'd that girl go?"
Darkest Prison: She went to the brig. Something about guys in jail turns her on
BardicLasher: Weird.
Darkest Prison: pot calling the kettle black much?
BardicLasher: Guys in jail don't turn Charir on.
Darkest Prison: and guys out of jail?
JoviCreamePuff: ((I want a two-sided chainsaw))
Darkest Prison: (write to santa for it)
ranzunar: (isn't that redundant?)
JoviCreamePuff: (You don't understand.))
JoviCreamePuff: ((I mean, like a two-bladed sword)
JoviCreamePuff: ((But with chainsaws)
ranzunar: (oh like the guy from RE4)
Darkest Prison: (Have you ever played warhammer 40k?)
BardicLasher: ((RED ONES MAKE IT GO FASTER!))
JoviCreamePuff: ((I have a Sisters of Battle army))
BardicLasher: Anyway, right... Blah blah sleep blah blah stuff.
Darkest Prison: You go to sleep...
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Darkest Prison: And wake up the next morning
Darkest Prison: "Hmm...we should arrive sometime early tommorrow, given our speed thus far, I think"
BardicLasher: "We can has island?"
Darkest Prison: "I'm not sure where I'll be less safe..."
Darkest Prison: (a lolcat jumps out of the 4th wall and claws charir in the face)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 4-sided die: 3
Darkest Prison: (3 damage)
JoviCreamePuff: "Assuming we don't encounter any portentuous foreshadowed pirates."
BardicLasher: "Next time, we're just killing them. Fuckers didn't pay my tribute."
Darkest Prison: "Ninjas would never give forshadowing"
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
JoviCreamePuff: "Ninjas are only effective individually."
ranzunar: Bardic Knowledge agree ith class stereotypes
JoviCreamePuff: "The moment you get a group of them, they all fold like cheap rice paper."
Darkest Prison: "That's not true at all."
Darkest Prison: (TMNT was badass together)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Yes, that's exactly why the broke up in at least 2 of 4 movies))
Darkest Prison: (as were the Sanada Braves)
ranzunar: (mutant levels overcome ninja levels for those purposes)
Darkest Prison: "I don't know who taught you about ninjas..."
BardicLasher: ((And Turtle levels are 10x as good))
BardicLasher: "Silly Dais. Everyone knows there's no such thing as ninja."
Darkest Prison: "Although I guess we do tend to purposely dissemminate false informationabout ourselves to outsiders."
JoviCreamePuff: Annette munched on what was left of the fish, gnawing happily at her breakfast, perhaps a little enthusiastically.
Darkest Prison: "Silly Charir, dragons aren't gods. They're just giant flying lizards that cling to the material plane. At least demons can plane hop."
BardicLasher: "Dragons can plane hop. Well, the awesome ones can."
Darkest Prison: "Oh? Cna you plane hop?"
Darkest Prison: *Can
BardicLasher: "I can, but I don't know how to get back if I do, so it's really just a bad idea for me to attempt it."
JoviCreamePuff: "Can you? Shadow doesn't count."
BardicLasher: "Also, I have no idea how to aim... And I really don't know the planes well enough to pick a safe target..."
ranzunar: "Note to self, create cool rumors about normal humans"
Darkest Prison: "Shadow's a plane! And i will be able to very soon. My lord is teaching me the finer points in my dreams."
Darkest Prison: (so close to forcing charir to admit he's either not a dragon or not a cool dragon)
Darkest Prison: *awesome dragon
BardicLasher: ((Charir=master of bullshitting.))
JoviCreamePuff: "Shadow's barely it's own plane. That'd be like someone saying they could plane hope because they can turn ethereal."
Darkest Prison: Dais ate his breakfast slowly, eating in very small bites to extend out the length of the meal.
JoviCreamePuff: "I mean, I'm not saying Shadow's not an awesome plane, but it's like... well, a shadow of the prime, ya know?"
JoviCreamePuff: "It
JoviCreamePuff: (ack)
Darkest Prison: "...Why am I arguing about the planes with you, again? That's like discussing pickpocketing with a quadrapelgic."
Darkest Prison: *quadrapelegic
BardicLasher: "Mmm... Quadrapalegic..."
JoviCreamePuff: "It's like.. right there. Plane-hopping to Bis? Now that's hopping planes!"
Darkest Prison: "If it's right there, why don't you go to the plane of shadow. It must be so easy!"
Darkest Prison: "I mean, it's right there!"
JoviCreamePuff: "Can't be assed to figure it out. Too much other important stuff to do, like play guitar."
JoviCreamePuff: ((And because she needs 5 more bard levels))
Darkest Prison: "Hey, at the ready, lads!" You can hear up above
JoviCreamePuff: "Uh-oh."
Darkest Prison: You feel the ship roll from side to side as heavy waves crash against it
BardicLasher: "To the ready!" Charir declared, mage armoring himself up as he headed up to the deck.
Darkest Prison: "Another sea monster?" Dais wondered, armoring up himself and heading up
ranzunar: "Seriously, why can't we get from point A to point B without anythin dangerous happening to us" (Metagame sigh)
Darkest Prison: (it was quiet for like two straight days aside from that ship)
JoviCreamePuff: "It's like the rule of adventuring."
JoviCreamePuff: Annette followed up, whistling to herself as she strummed her instrument.
ranzunar: (Dolo follows ready to encounter.....something)
Darkest Prison: "The sea's so violent now!" "Yar! more men to the ropes. Hold the sail from blowing too far ta starboard!"
Darkest Prison: "Aye, aye, sir!"
BardicLasher: "Huh... Sea stuff. I totally cannot help."
Darkest Prison: (balance checks as you go up, if you don't have 5 ranks in balance)

Darkest Prison: How high up is charir flying?
JoviCreamePuff: "Dolo! Surely you know some interesting and inspiring tune to help them sail better!?"
BardicLasher: Dpeends... How bad's the wind?
ranzunar: (inspire competence is one song per person)
Darkest Prison: "Hey! There's a ship headin' our way!" A sailor yelled from the crow's nest
BardicLasher: Charir's gonna chill in the rigging. Yeah, that works.
Darkest Prison: (not strong enough to check or blow you back)
BardicLasher: Eitehr way, gonna chill in the rigging.
Darkest Prison: (about 30 mph)
Darkest Prison: The ocean just grows more and more violent, waves tossing up, washing higher and higher
Darkest Prison: "Careful! It looks liek green water's coming!"
BardicLasher: "I have no idea what that means."
Darkest Prison: You're about to find out...
ranzunar: (What the hey) "Everyone, continue on your station and do your job" inspire courage to all

Darkest Prison: The deck is completely soaked
ranzunar: (at least they'll drown courageously)
Darkest Prison: The approaching ship is closing in. It is the same one from yesterday, repairs mostly done on it from the fire damage
JoviCreamePuff: "W-whoa! Okay, hold up." Annette shouted, grabbing a nearby rope and tying it around her middle.
Darkest Prison: "you all chose to mess with the scourge of the seas, and now, ye'll all pay for it! Ye all are cursed!" A man on the ship yells
JoviCreamePuff: ((How far away is this man?))
Darkest Prison: (about 300 ft now)
Darkest Prison: Puler comes out of his cabin. "Is everyone ok?"
JoviCreamePuff: Annette frowned at hearing that, activating her amplifyer as she held up a finger, waiting until he got a liiiittle closer.
ranzunar: "Four men overboard after the big wave, everyone else seems fine"
Darkest Prison: "If he wants a fight, we are not defenseless."
BardicLasher: "Some fucker thinks he's gonna fuck with us," Charir said. "I'm going to set him on fire and fuck his wife and/or daughter in front of him while he's on fire."
JoviCreamePuff: "Why they hadn't tied off their life-lines, I have nooo idea."
JoviCreamePuff: "Can I have one of them!?"
Darkest Prison: "Save those that went overboard! Everyone else, man the ballistas!"
Darkest Prison: The ship draws closer, and ballistas open fire!
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 2 20-sided dice: 15 4
JoviCreamePuff: ((How much closer?))
ranzunar: ""Let's show them who they're messing with" (continuing to inspire courage)
Darkest Prison: (100 ft, or less, if you want to go first)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Well, Ideally I was waiting for the 250 foot mark))
JoviCreamePuff: "Bang!" Annette shouted, letting off a bolt of dark energy for the shouty person.

JoviCreamePuff: ((Every one counts!)
Darkest Prison: The ballista that hits does a little damage, but not much
Darkest Prison: The other ship fires back
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 2 20-sided dice: 10 6
Darkest Prison: The queen fury rocks slightly at the impact, sustaining minor damage
BardicLasher: Charir readies an action to blast the next ballista bolt out of the sky.
JoviCreamePuff: ((...I wonder if dragonfire doom affects the ballista.))
BardicLasher: The one coming towards them.
ranzunar: (does inspire courage affect siege weaponry?)
Darkest Prison: "Alright, maneuver to come about. I'll show these pirates how a real captain fights!"
Darkest Prison: (I'm gonna say no)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 2 20-sided dice: 4 6
ranzunar: (adding inspirational boost and continue to concentrate on inspire courage)
BardicLasher: Charir totally waits for the next shot from the enemy.. Waiting for it... Waiting for it...
Darkest Prison: The two ships jockey for position, and neither captain seems to get the edge
JoviCreamePuff: Annette, meanwhile, is continuing to take potshots at the enemy crew

JoviCreamePuff: ((Damn))
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
ranzunar: (24)
JoviCreamePuff: (...Huh. Encourage Failure actually isn't really cool))
Darkest Prison: Ignatria is the kingdom to the south of the one you're currently in. It has long had on and off wars with this country, and has been suspected of fueling the recent piracy surge
ranzunar: (it's fun if you're invisible, using subsonics to get rogue to botch his disable device on a big trap you set up)

Darkest Prison: "You are all doomed! Surrender immediately or we will kill all on board."
ranzunar: "Funny, we were about to say the same thing"
BardicLasher: "Actually, I was about to say 'Surrender immediately or we will kill all of you who are not desired as sex slaves."
JoviCreamePuff: "Are they still shouting at us?" Annette asked, lifting a hand and throwing an expanding glob of grease at the enemy deck.
ranzunar: "Charir, you have to remember to clarify, female sex slaves."
Darkest Prison: "you fools..."
JoviCreamePuff: ((Do ships count as objects?)
Darkest Prison: (yes?)
BardicLasher: "This boat is full of sailors, Dolo. Sailors."
JoviCreamePuff: ((Are you sure?)
ranzunar: (not for grease disarming)
Darkest Prison: (the thing you're using doesn't have a volume/area limit?)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Grease says "one object, or a 10 ft. square.")
JoviCreamePuff: ((So, ya know. Checking.)
Darkest Prison: (...you can affect a 10 ft square of the ship. nice try, though :-))
JoviCreamePuff: ((=P))
JoviCreamePuff: ((The 10 foot square closest to where sailors would disembark to board us))
ranzunar: (that's like affecting one object in the material plane, the material plane)
Darkest Prison: Done

Darkest Prison: (foul smelling smoke bomb)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 2 20-sided dice: 2 18
Darkest Prison: Dais fails
Darkest Prison: As you're rammed, you see hordes of potsfly through the air, smashing open all over the deck
Darkest Prison: Anyone who knows alchemy can tell they are stinkpots
JoviCreamePuff: "Oh man, that's foul."
Darkest Prison: Two large ships become visible on the other side now
JoviCreamePuff: "...Whoa. Invisibility on a ship?"
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 4-sided die: 1
JoviCreamePuff: 'That's cool."
Darkest Prison: Dais is sickened for this round and 2 more afterwards

JoviCreamePuff: ((This battle is the reason they invented maptools))
Darkest Prison: (i figure I'll just try and ad hoc it, lol)
JoviCreamePuff: ((I'll do my best to keep up))
Darkest Prison: (size huge, I think)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Also,t here should have been spot checks for the invisi-ships.))
JoviCreamePuff: (Because invisibility wouldn't hide water displacement0)
JoviCreamePuff: ((For future reference))
Darkest Prison: (the spot check was to notice that in the heat of the existing fight)
JoviCreamePuff: (OOoooh, okay. Clever))
ranzunar: (need someone to drop a plank between ships to be halfway decent in this battle)
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

BardicLasher: 23, FF 20
ranzunar: (AC29, FF21)
BardicLasher: And bad wind should ruin shots.
JoviCreamePuff: (Yeah, if the wind is still 30+, those shots are just never hitting))
Darkest Prison: (4 attacks each on Dais, Thomas, Char, Anne, and Dolo. Split between melee and bolts)
BardicLasher: But... Charir has altitude!

Darkest Prison: A woman with long, dark hair, tanned skin, and a fair number of tattoos wearing chainshirt over black leather declared
JoviCreamePuff: "Hey, Charir! She looks yummy, doesn't she?"
Darkest Prison: "I am the Dread Pirate Roberta, and you are about to experience true fear!"
JoviCreamePuff: "...Whoa. Hey, you should probably rethink that challenge of fear, thing."
JoviCreamePuff: "Charir takes that kind of personally."
BardicLasher: "DIBS!" Charir declared.
ranzunar: (yay inspire courage giving +4 to saves against fear)
Darkest Prison: She runs forward, grabbing onto a rope hanging from the mast, and swings into melee with Dolorito, drawing her cutlass in the process

BardicLasher: Fortunately for Charir... he has altitude
JoviCreamePuff: "Fuck this noise... Let's rock!" She shouted, slamming into power chords on her guitar. ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D26ZIEjNRgc&feature=related, Dragonfire Doom, Disparaging Comentary, Will DC 18 and Fort DC 18))

JoviCreamePuff: "It hurt him more than it hurt you!"
Darkest Prison: "Only cause it didn't actually hurt me!"
BardicLasher: Total clusterfuck, no way to do an AoE without hitting allies and enemies, right?
Darkest Prison: "But...i almost had a heart attack, you know?"
Darkest Prison: (on the QF. on the two ships that surprised you, a bunch stayed on board to lob missile fire)
Darkest Prison: (you can feel free to blow the fuck out of them)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Tell him which ones got Dragonsoniced first, though. In case he doesn't want to torch them?))
Darkest Prison: (well, they all did. Most failed the fort save. d% roll of 2 and all...)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Cool))
BardicLasher: Charir roars loudly and hurls a fireball at one of the two ships, aiming to take out a chunk of the archers aboard one... And then he flies into the crow's nest for cover.

Darkest Prison: (if you have played army games, it is basically one of those missions where until you do the main objective, the enemies just keep coming, yes)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Well, at least they all kill themselves on their first turn))
ranzunar: (they can also kill me pretty easily at this point)
Darkest Prison: Yes. DM's been forgetful to mention it, but any of the regular pirates that attacks dies in the same instant from sonic damage. Like those last ten, for instance
Darkest Prison: (anne!)
Darkest Prison: You are currently not in melee, thanks to the scared pirates running away
JoviCreamePuff: But she sorta will be in a second, almost. She weaved and bobbed around the corpses, reaching out to touch Dolo, prodding him with healing energy before going back to wailing on her guitar.

JoviCreamePuff: ((I hate spells that allow saves. Why do I ever bother with them?))
ranzunar: (isn't that guy shaken?)
Darkest Prison: "That's cute, girly. But you don't belong on the battlefield." One of the archers stated, easily picking her out between the chaotic brawl with two arrows

JoviCreamePuff: ((Way to completely disregard what the party said))
Darkest Prison: ("you should have died by retcon! bitch!")

OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Darkest Prison: (AC 28, and you're flanking)
JoviCreamePuff: ((Did my apathy fuck over your rolls?))
JoviCreamePuff: (Sorry))
ranzunar: (let me do some math)
BardicLasher: ((She's at 1 HP and she didn't surrender? ... You know, this is why in 4E once a foe is bloodied, a successful intimidate makes them surrender. Bloodied might be a bit soon, but still.))
Darkest Prison: (didn't think she'd live long enough for it to matter, maybe i should roll for corsair's feint)
ranzunar: (I fucking missed all of them)
BardicLasher: ((HAHA
Darkest Prison: (your first boss fight, he ran the fuck away. NPCs run away all the time in this game)
Darkest Prison: (but she's mildly psychotic and intrigued by your fear challenge)
Darkest Prison: (so she's not running.)
Darkest Prison: Thomas's turn!
Darkest Prison: how can he be useless now?
ranzunar: (tensor's floating disk?)
Darkest Prison: He walks up to a pirate, and casting defensive / full CE / fighting defensively, move is to touch with touch of fatigue...
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Darkest Prison: Foe is fatigued!
BardicLasher: XD
Darkest Prison: (and thomas gains +11 AC)
ranzunar: (that actually worked)
Darkest Prison: (that's his standard "I want more AC" move)
BardicLasher: ((Thomas is now the man.))
Darkest Prison: Pirates fight it out....merc cowers below deck from thomas's fear spell...
Darkest Prison: Lorenzo fires off maggic missiles at Dais

Darkest Prison: (and I assume misses)
JoviCreamePuff: (22 before cover)
Darkest Prison: (one hit then. unless you actually have cover? he has precise shot)
Darkest Prison: (charir's turn)
JoviCreamePuff: ((I actually have cover. I specicially moved to give her cover))
Darkest Prison: (ok, no hits)
Darkest Prison: (again, almost 3 am, running giant combat. sorry if I miss stuff)
JoviCreamePuff: ((It's cool. Just being specific))
BardicLasher: Charir holds up his knife in front of him, then holds it out to the side and drops it. He shifts his body into a martial arts pose, left arm gesturing her to him, right hand held back. "Alright, dear, what say we do this the fun
BardicLasher: way? No weapons. No spells. Mano a mano." Readied action: Pulled magic missile if she doesn't want to play by my rules.
Darkest Prison: "Easy to say immediately after getting healed by an ally..."
BardicLasher: "Oh, I'm sorry... I missed the part where you made the first attack and I didn't retaliate. Or do I get a free hit first?"
Darkest Prison: "Captain?" Roberta motions for him to leave Charir to her. He nods, and instead casts grease on Dolo's sword (ref save)
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
ranzunar: (15?)
Darkest Prison: Barely made it
Darkest Prison: "Alright, jsut you and me. No spells, no manufacutred weapons. Is that it?"
BardicLasher: "That's what I said..."
Darkest Prison: "Agreed!"
Darkest Prison: Just so you know, though...there'sa fire elemental behind you. She drops her sword, and tries to roundhouse kick Charir (if you threaten, Aoo)
BardicLasher: Charir does not threaten.
OnlineHost: Darkest Prison rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Darkest Prison: (AC?)
BardicLasher: 23
ranzunar: but Dolo does
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
ranzunar: and now I hit
BardicLasher: Dolo, don't be a dick.
Darkest Prison: She manages to hit thanks to Swash's improved flanking
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 8-sided die: 7
Darkest Prison: ...I didn't know dolo was dishonorable
JoviCreamePuff: Or a dick.
ranzunar: yeah I think she dies first
BardicLasher: I'm surprised to see that from Gabe.
Darkest Prison: (first off, reflex save. yourr sword is greased)
ranzunar: "Have Annette reanimate her if you want your fun, Charir, I want to live"
OnlineHost: ranzunar rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Darkest Prison: And no divine interference...
Darkest Prison: Dolo drps her not just out, but completely dead
ranzunar: 23 besides nce you make the initial save it doesn't affect your weapon anymore
BardicLasher: Epic cut scene, camera swivels around Roberta and Charir, and just as she goes to strike... Stabbed in the back.
Darkest Prison: "At least...pirates have some basic sense of honor..." she blurted out as she fell
JoviCreamePuff: "...Wow, man, you're a dick." Annette said, blinking in surprise.
Darkest Prison: (no, you have to roll once each round the first time you use it)
Darkest Prison: "What the hell, Dolo?"
BardicLasher: "...You're just mad because you didn't get to help summon Asharladon, huh?"
ranzunar: (when I have to wake up in 4 hours, niceness diddipates)
Darkest Prison: (It was close to over anyway...)
ranzunar: *dissipates
JoviCreamePuff: ((I wanted to see what awesome thing Charir was going to do))
JoviCreamePuff: ((I'm sad now))
BardicLasher: ((So how much damage would she have done anyway?))
Darkest Prison: "...Our leader has fallen."
JoviCreamePuff: "And so has... what, 97% of your crew?"
Darkest Prison: (d3 unarmed +2 str +4d6 SA. all nonlethal)
JoviCreamePuff: "Really, I'm surprised you guys hadn't given up before then. What the hell were you going to do with four ships and like six guys?"
BardicLasher: ((And what was her will save?))
Darkest Prison: "Retreat!"
Darkest Prison: (against fear? +11)
Darkest Prison: (she had bolstering voice stance. so they all basically had +4 vs. fear)
BardicLasher: ((Okay. So yeah. Needed to just do stuff till she rolled a 6.))
Darkest Prison: The few remaining pirates scramble to board their ships, carrying off their dead and wounded.
BardicLasher: "Hey! None of that!" Charir flew over to pick off escapees with lightning breath.
BardicLasher: Nobody gets away! We're looting these fuckers and their ships!
Darkest Prison: "If you promise to never again terrorize our kingdom's ships or coastline, I vow to let all of you leave in peace."
Darkest Prison: "Charir!"
BardicLasher: "...What? They tried to kill us. Thus, we kill them. That's how violence works!"
Darkest Prison: "We are not mass murderers. They've been defeated. I will show them the same mercy I'd hope to receive from them."
Darkest Prison: "And the fight is over now."
JoviCreamePuff: "I'm with Charir on this one." Annette said, starting to raise pirate corpses back from the dead, not expending actual resources to do so. "Either way, here's your clean-up crew."
BardicLasher: Charir crosses his arms. "I'm just mad that Dolo killed the hottie. I was going to take her prisoner and everything."
Darkest Prison: "...That's...abysmal..."
Darkest Prison: He responded to her raising
JoviCreamePuff: "Beggers can't be choosers. You've lost a hell of a lot of crew, these guys can help you out for a while."
BardicLasher: "Abysmal, huh? I thoguht she was pretty good at it."
Darkest Prison: "You know what, you're right. What say you, pirates? Join my crew and make an honest living."
JoviCreamePuff: "Also, yeah.. That girl dying makes me kinda sad. Should we hang onto her, Charir? Ressurect her later for you?"
Darkest Prison: "These folks will not harm members of my crew. I don't wish to deliver an ultimatum, but as long as you are the enemy, I don't know if i CAN restrain them."
JoviCreamePuff: (XD)
JoviCreamePuff: Meanwhile, Annette was organizing an impromptu chorus of chattering and Brains.
Darkest Prison: "...we accept your kind offer. Thank you for showing us mercy. We...would not have been so kind if we had won."
BardicLasher: "Sounds good, Rassy. The cheap kind, though. Ooh, I could pick up Leadership next level!"
JoviCreamePuff: "Hey, there you go!"
JoviCreamePuff: (best cohort ever)
Darkest Prison: "Take soem time to bury your fallen at sea. We shall have our own funeral proceedings. Lay anchor for the rest of the day!" The crew abided b his order
JoviCreamePuff: ("So, where's your companion from?" "Oh, she was a pirate that attacked us. We killed her, raised her, and made her our pet.")
Darkest Prison: (battle over! wow, that was hard to run, evne w/ all the shortcuts)
JoviCreamePuff: The new undead helped with cleaning the ships up before collapsing in time for their own funerals.
