Stinky Pete whistles 'Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirate's life for me'
Captain Katsumoto: Arr! I want some wench's booty!
Stinky Pete: I could go for her booty, or...her booty!
Stinky Pete makes motion of bending over some fine ass, er lass
Sailor: Now that's my idea of some fine ass...
Sailor grabs Xiu Li's ass as she walks by.
Xiu Li frowns.
Stinky Pete waits for him to lose his hand
Sailor pulls back a stump.
Stinky Pete: That'll teach you: Only tap the ass if the ass has been given freely
Captain Katsumoto: Also, make sure the ass cannot hit your parry without rolling.
Stinky Pete: There ya go! No more drinking on the job for you!!
Nick (Stinky Pete): Any bonuses/penalties we should know about for sea combat (seasickness, sea legs, etc)?
TADM: No, there are no unusual bonuses for being at sea that you currently need to know about.
Zach Dallas: fear level?
TADM: The Fear Level is currently 3.
GM: So, the boat sails out of Shan Fan harbor and into the Maze.
Captain Katsumoto: This is a fine day for sailing.
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: Good pun, Mike. "Endure Elements" while in a gold-filled crate
[w] Zach Dallas: don't tell them the truth
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm spending my advance boosting intimidation and guys
[w] Zach Dallas: it'll be funny
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Okay
Sailor: Cap'n there are some smoke trails in the distance, could be ghost rock ships.
Captain Katsumoto: Lookouts aloft!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): we've got plenty of room to avoid them if they're legit, right?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): rather than playing chicken
GM: Steam ships usually have white or grey plumes, ghost rock ships have black smoke plumes.
GM: There is plenty of space for avoiding other ships, if needed. At least here there is.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): which type is our ship?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): It is a junk
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, I was wondering whether our junk spews out white stuff or not
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Junk's have sails
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): It is a chinese style of ship
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, that'll work
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Typically three-masted
GM: Actually, this is a four-masted junk, and seems a little bigger than normal.
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 7]
[w] Stinky Pete: Also, goes to back of ship and throws rotten bacon overboard, since I was still carrying it for some reason
[w] -> Stinky Pete: REALLY?
[w] -> Stinky Pete: AWESOMESAUCE! I dub you "Nate!"
[w] Stinky Pete: Huh? I'm confused
Stinky Pete walks over to the side of the deck and tosses something in a dirty looking white paper bag overboard.
GM: Notice checks.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 8]
GM: Okay, whispers for everyone!
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: You swear you hear a grinding noise...like something is gnawing very loudly at the bottom of the ship.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Not sure if I made things easier, or worse just now :/
Ezekial Ikwiano: Guts {+3 Grit} [1d8+3 = 9]
[w] -> Zach Dallas: It looks like the water around the ship is boiling.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: does that concern me?
[w] -> Stinky Pete: It looks like the water around the bacon is boiling.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: also, can I tell what might be making it?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: If Zeke would be worried about being in a box in the hold of a ship that is sinking because something is eating through the hull, then yes, it would concern you.
[w] Zach Dallas: does it register on Detect Arcana?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yes, the water around the ship is glowing, it looks like a giant octopus looking thing has come up from the bottom of the water and is thrashing and beating on whatever the bag was that Stinky through overboard.
GM: The boat lurches and stops.
Captain Katsumoto: What is that? Sailors, check the sides.
Sailor: AIIEEE!!!
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: Why the hell is there a giant octopus in the water?
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: what was in that bag?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Damn sea monster ruining our brilliant plan!
A sailor is lifted into the air and thrown into the water by some invisible force.
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: Rotten bacon
Captain Katsumoto: Guns at the ready, prepare the waterproof dynamite. Roll out the cannons!
[w] Zach Dallas: oho! speaking of which< I would like to Conceal on the gold so it doesn't trigger anything in the wrong place
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 7]
Sailor's body runs around headless for a couple seconds before going overboard as something sweeps the deck and tears his head off.
Captain Katsumoto: Fire the cannons!
[w] Zach Dallas: also, in Current Events, is the octopus invisible to the naked eye?
GM: Several cannons roll out of gun ports on the side of the junk and fire into the water near the surface.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yes
Stinky Pete: readies gun
Sailor: How can we kill that which we cannot see?
Xiu Li: How can we kill that which has no life?
Captain Katsumoto: Wait, this is a WoW player?
Ezekial Ikwiano remains hiding in crate and leaves the sea-monster fighting to the experienced sailors.
Stinky Pete: Would explain why it eats so much
Captain Katsumoto listens for Korean or Chinese, the sure sign of a WoW player.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): can we tell where it is by displacement of water?
GM: No.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): kukukukukuku zergling rush
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): You know, I play wow in my free time
TADM: It's okay, we don't hold it against you.
[w] Zach Dallas: can I tell where it is from DA?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: It is all around the ship. And under the ship. And changing shape slightly...
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: what type of bacon was that? Any particular reason you decided to summon a fiendish octopus?
[w] Zach Dallas: is it actually a manitou?
[w] Zach Dallas: and/or possessed?
Sailor gets slammed into a mast and squeezed until he explodes.
GM: The boat rocks as tendrils latch onto the masts.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Son of a
[w] -> Zach Dallas: No, it is not a manitou.
Captain Katsumoto draws sword and chops at tendril, guessing where it is by the location of water splashes on the masts.
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: It was bacon I was carrying with me. It somehow rotted (don't know how), and I decided to just get rid of it
Zach Dallas: Oi, it's got the mast!
Captain Katsumoto: Cut it free! Cut it!
Sailors attack the wet spots on the masts with hooks and swords.
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for Blast, I'm going for a tentacle portion away from the boat
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Flush in clubs.
Zach Dallas: Blast 2 damage [2d6 = 6]
Zach Dallas: whips his hand
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): curses
Zach Dallas whips his hand out and a green bolt of light flys from his hand
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): it is clearly flying up into the empty air above the boat
GM: This impacts on something off the side of the boat and causes large blobs of water to explode, it looks like someone just blew up about a dozen two gallon water balloons.
GM: Agility checks from Zach and Pete.
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d6 = 4]
Stinky Pete: Agility [1d6 = 5]
The masts tear free of the Empress Risako and sweep the decks, knocking sailors and items free. Then the masts and the monster disappears into the depth, leaving the Empress Risako bereft of sails or the ability to move.
GM: Pete and Zach somehow survive the carnage and are not swept overboard.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 9]
Nick (Stinky Pete): Oops. My bad
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: Do I still hear the gnawing soung on the bottom of the boat?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Curses! We're on a boat! You can't railroad on a boat!
Nick (Stinky Pete): But, now it'll be easier for what's-his-face to want to rob us
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: You hear a sound like a something tears large chunks of wood off the top of the boat. Then it becomes very quiet. The gnawing sound goes away.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): right, and now we can't get away
Captain Katsumoto: That is...unfortunate.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): now we can't just destroy his boat, we have to take it
Sailor: Sir, we have six dead and fourteen injured.
Captain Katsumoto: Well, in a day or so the current will drag us back to Shan Fan, so not all is lost, we have plenty of provisions to survive this.
Xiu Li goes around healing the injured.
Stumpy the Sailor: Excuse me miss, I heard learned the error of my ways, will you reattach my hand?
Xiu Li: Okay.
Zach Dallas: how helpful!
Zach Dallas: I wish I could do that
Captain Katsumoto: Well this has been a most inauspicious start to the day...
Zach Dallas: I imagine it will be much, much more fun later on
Zach Dallas: that thing just imobilized us
Stinky Pete: Yes. Yes it did
Captain Katsumoto: Indeed. Most unfortunate, usually the water spirits of the Maze only attack boats when an offering tainted by evil is thrown overboard.
Captain Katsumoto: But I made sure to make the proper offerings when leaving port...hmmm....
Zach Dallas: Wait, what do you mean?
Zach Dallas: What is this "offering"?
Captain Katsumoto: There are water monsters, the natives of this region call them "Nature Spirits" and say they fight the "Manitous." When a boat leaves Shan Fan we are supposed to make an offering that is not tainted by "manitous" so that the "Nature Spirits" bless our voyage.
TADM: So the real question is....where is Weematai when you need her?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): is he doing "air quotes" around every word in quotes?
TADM: Yes, yes he is. He clearly thinks there is some "hookum" in Native American beliefs.
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: Oops.
GM: Uriel wakes up and finds himself in the hold of a ship.
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: I'd throw you overboard, but that would just bring the squid back
Nick (Stinky Pete): Why is the ship holding him? It should let him go
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: Good point. Think we could fix it if we threw Uriel overboard?
Uriel Iscariot: Now whats all this about funky nature spirits? I say to you, the only thing keeping you safe on this ship is the will of your Heavenly Father, and you best not anger him by offering to false gods and demons!
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 14]
Zach Dallas: 6 people died
Zach Dallas: 14 are injured
Uriel Iscariot: He hath smote Leviathan, and thus the seas are made safe by him.
Stinky Pete: Like by trying to convert to Judaism, Uriel?
Uriel Iscariot: ...by what foul sorcery doth thy know of such exploits!
Sailor: Ironclad off the port bow!
Captain Katsumoto: It's the Abysmal!
Zach Dallas: Oooh! This'll be fun
Zach Dallas: Do you think we have enough firepower to take it?
Captain Katsumoto: We have no ability to move and they outrange us. So...no.
Zach Dallas: Hm. Curses.
Captain Katsumoto: Our best bet would be to surrender and bribe them.
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: OK, Pete, your job is to....
Stinky Pete: Gonna be hard keeping your plan afloat, Zach. Because I'm getting a sinking feeling
Zach Dallas: OHO
Zach Dallas: That would be quite useful
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wait wait wait
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): when I used Change on the dynamite, does it count as "tainted with manitou"?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): so if we dump it off the side of THEIR boat...
Uriel Iscariot: think we should bow out then, Stinky Pete??
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): :3
GM: No.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): curses
Stinky Pete imagines seeing Ackbar swim up, pop his head above water to say "It's a Tarp!", then swim away again
Ezekial Ikwiano has been awarded a benny
TADM: That is so hideous, it deserves a reward.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Quorteth (Uriel Iscariot): The Abyssmal: Steam Vents? etc?
Captain Katsumoto: Run up the white flag.
GM: The Abysmal is a large Ironclad.
Sailor raises white flag.
GM: The large ironclad steams up close. The guns are brought to bear on the Empress Risako.
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM Any Chance I could use a strong enough Windstorm to dump some water down its steamstacks?
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Sure...
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d12+2 = 7]
Captain Katsumoto: Okay, the Abysmal never takes prisoners, so we pretend to surrender, let her get close, then run out the guns and dump chain shot on her crew as they come out to the deck to board us.
Captain Katsumoto: Anyone who objects to this plan should probably jump overboard now.
Uriel Iscariot: I object to the use of violence. We should leave our fates to God.
Zach Dallas: Do you think a crate full of dynamite would blow that thing up from within?
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d12+2 = 4]
Captain Katsumoto: Probably
Zach Dallas: Because I have one of those
Uriel Iscariot: Ezekial Ikwiano, thy maker calleth you to turn thy swords to plowshares
Xiu Li: I object to the use of violence also.
GM: Umm...Zeke is nowhere to be seen.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Not to mention a crate full of crazy black man.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): *pssst* Zeke is in the box
Stinky Pete: Do you object to dying? Because that's what will happen if you don't use violence
Sailor: So, according to your religion, God is named Ezekial Ikwiano?
Zach Dallas: nonono, thy maker is calling him
Zach Dallas: so at best that would be another name for Jesus
Uriel Iscariot: What he said.
GM: As the Abysmal steams close, a number of crew, including several Chinese Ogres and a woman with a large red scar on her face come out to look at the Empress Risako.
Zach Dallas: Anyways, we don't have much of a choice now. We're going to have to either kill them through actions or these sailors through inaction
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d6 = 11]
Red Petals Su: Prepare to be boarded!

Red Petals Su: Bring me that one's head!
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: I poke my head out from the inside of the crate and look around the hold while this is going on
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 6]
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: I am looking for anything that could be used as a grapling hook
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: You see several crewman rolling cannons out gun ports. They fire them at the ironclad you glimpse through the gunports. On an unrelated note, you see several things that look like grappling hooks.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: In that case, I am going to hop out of the crate, grabe a grappling hook, tie it to my rope and yell at one of the gun crews
GM: From below decks, the gunports on the Empress Risako flap open and the gun crews unleash a similarly devestating hail of grape shot into the crew of the Abysmal.
Red Petals Su dives for cover.
GM: [4d6 = 26]
GM: The Empress Risako seems to have better gunners though...
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: we're not gonna win this fair and sqaure, get this line over there and we'll do some real damage
Stinky Pete: goes for head shot on Red Petals, since combat started without initiative
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: You are correct.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: And then indicate to them that I intend to board the emeny ship from below decks using the grapling hook fired out of a cannon
