"Hmmmm. Maybe I should go train more and get better at using spells." I go to do a bit of training before I go to sleep.

@karandpr

what attribute are you bumping up?

[Yeahha]

@karan

Yeah when you have killed someone's friends and they initiated a fight with you negotiation isn't gonna work we can make a fear spell where you gain +1 per charge when trying to persuade an opponent to try to do something. In battle it will be more difficult to get it to work but out of battle you could intimidate some which would either work to your advantage or cause them to initiate combat with you depending on how well it works

[Tresezk]

@9to5

will power . Lol .its needed for divine magic .
Added skills of nature and water

@yeahha

I was also thinking of mix andd match spells .
E.g
2 charges of water + two charges of nature will summon the water elemental who will fight for us for two turns if on land and three turns if on water
4 charges of necromancy + 4 charges of nature summons a death lord who kills two random characters and leaves.
I don't have water spells for now yet but I will combine them with healing for more affect.

/necromancy
Raise undead : raise a corpse from to fight for us
Dark aura : all characters get a damage bonus for three turns . At cost of no negotiation and diplomacy for one day .

Looking back towards the shore, I see a faint outline of the city. The haze is thicker than I originally thought, and the salty air is starting to lose it's intrigue. At least we are heading towards our destination, though we can't get there soon enough, the rocky ocean has never suited me.

@karandpr: Ahh. of course, willpower makes sense
--
I'm hittin' the hay. We sail, and by tomorrow, I'll be back and who know, maybe on guard, maybe not

[Metroid Prime]

We're getting closer guys!

[Yeahha]

Yeah mixing and matching is fine and I expected it to happen which is why I didn't just come up with a spell list but left it at schools keep in I don't think a death lord would be fighting for you at such a low level but you may be able to call a hell hound or something similar I would need to know in advance so I can come up with some stats. Also keep in mind when mixing schools it may take multiple actions as preparation and the things you call will be limited as to how long they remain summoned.

You could also work with another spellcaster to mix schools so you and marc could have your characters work together to summon a fire elemental, this would cut down on casting time since it would require less for each of you than doing something like this on your own.

I am also working out raise undead and resurrection spells. You may not like them too much since they will cost PP to cast. Raise undead will make undead of course, depending on how many charges you use and how much PP you spend will affect the strength of the undead. Resurrection will take 20 healing charges and cost 50 PP, it affects 1 character and they are restored to 50% HP but suffer a -1 to all stats and must have been dead less than a day before you try to resurrect them

Greater Resurrection: 100 healing charges and costs 200 PP, it affects 1 character target is restored to full HP and suffers no penalty for having been dead, there is no time limit on how long the target can have been dead prior to resurrection however you must have part of the target’s body to perform spell

I am currently updating the rules and set spells we have come up with

[Tresezk]

@

Considering I am the only spell caster with healing charges ,thats highway robbery
I hope ,marc increases his body or strength stats so he can increase his HP .

[Yeahha]

Others could come along or you could just not let anyone die. I've played clerics in D&D where I would give out healing spells no problem but if someone had the gall to go and die on my watch they were SOL because there was no way I would burn my well earned experience to bring some idiot back to life just because they didn't know how to stay alive, play it as you see fit

[agentc13]

I wake up from sleeping and go to take my turn at watch.
@Cain
"Anything interesting while I was asleep?"

When I begin my turn at watch, I sit by the monitors and pull out the Friscoterian book to read up.

I spend pp to raise my int to 7. I should have 9 pp left. I pick up divine magic (general) and healing as talents.

My religion for healing is the Church of the Lunatic of 59 Whacks. I find much more comfort in science over religion, so I decide to try the most ridiculous one I could find.

If I am ever absent when combat is happening and you are all waiting on me, you can have me cast a fireball (1 charge) at a target attacking someone who heals, or the one with lowest hp. Anyone attacking me takes preference unless other targets are less than half health. If people are getting close to dying switch me to heals on that target. That way if combat happens and everyone is waiting for me for more than an hour or two, you can move stuff along. Is that ok yeahha?

[Yeahha]

@AC13

yes that is fine I will posts actions for you in combat if needed

@all

if you wish to declare generic combat actions that will work and may make combat faster over time

[9to5cynic]

Looking to Smith, "No, nothing happened last night, but we should distribute these last two vests." After taking one last glance around the horizon, I go down to my quarters.

I think a generic six shooter shot on my part would be fine for a general action. Let's hope for no more epic fails though

[Tresezk]

"We have now crossed the channel and are now in the deep sea .Lets hope the pirates are not here . I will take my sword back Cain . "

If attacked directly
Rotate Lightning Bold 1 charge and weaken 2 charges .
Sword Swing after my charges are emptied .
After the guy dies .
If HP of any guy falls below 20 ,solo healing one charge or a
mass healing 2 charges .
If HP is below 10 for any guy at any time (even in combat) healing 2 charges .

[Yeahha]

@karan

Noted.

You have passed a merchant ship that was going to Gamin they passed without much issue. Just now the sonar has gone off saying something at sea level to the west but you don't see anything in that direction

[Tresezk]

"what happened " yawning .

[agentc13]

I make sure to notify everyone of the alert.

"Let's be ready for anything, these can be some dangerous waters!"

[Yeahha]

The radar indicates it is getting closer to you, you still don't see anything

[9to5cynic]

Possible Observation roll?

In a gruff voice, "Sonar said to the west right?" I say, reloading my six shooter. I then use the scope of my rifle to scan through the sea to the west....

[Tresezk]

"Damn .The radar and sonar are indicating a presence "

Uses spot ,in water .

"Hmm .looks like a octopus "

[Yeahha]

It says something at sea level approx 500 yards west. you don't see anything unusual in that direction

[Tresezk]

"Look there.It's a school of baby orca dolphins !! "

[Yeahha]

lol but no

Radar says 450 yards

[agentc13]

I cast a dispell magic spell in the area indicated on the sonar.

[9to5cynic]

"We'll have to keep our eyes and ears open. It could be a malfunction of the sonar system though..." I say with skepticism.

[Yeahha]

@AC13

out of range you don't waste the charge

Radar indicates 400 yards but now it is located south west of you

@all

you are traveling southwest BTW :facepalm: each of you needs to post a thinking about ocean's post

[Tresezk]

Probably the map will help

"I think we have busted the radar . Wake up HTC . He looks he can handle electronics efficiently "

[agentc13]

"Could it be a reef or something?"

[9to5cynic]

I hit the communicator to send an alert to HTC *beeeep beeeeep*.

Care to elaborate what you mean by that post yeahha, what kind of thoughts, like what we think the sonar is picking up?

[Yeahha]

Everything appears to be functioning normally and by design, it now shows the thing is 350 yards to the southwest and heading right towards you.

[Tresezk]

"It's moving !! how can it be a reef ? Probably a giant sea creature or a submarine ?"

[Yeahha]

Sorry for doing this AC13 give yourself 1 PP

Smith says "It's a reef we need to change course"

[Yeahha]

@karan

nobody was steering the ship (T'res was sleeping) no speed was set, it was progressing on you as quickly as you were moving

[agentc13]

@t'res
"We're the thing that is moving. Don't you understand basic physics?"

[Yeahha]

@9to5

I was looking for permalink rolls to assist someone in knowing what it was

[9to5cynic]

"Quick, to the helm. If we stop the boat, we could slowly navigate around the reef!'

[agentc13]

"We need to make sure you boys that know how to steer this thing stay awake."

[Tresezk]

lol and I created that map with reef
I am pretty sure sonar and radar can differentiate static and dynamic objects .

"A change in direction will take some more time "

[9to5cynic]

As I look into the cabin, I see too many levers, not knowing what they do, I back away asking, "Hey! Someone wanna slow this boat down and avoid that reef?"

[Yeahha]

Yeah that gave me the idea. Good job karan!

You are aware that you can slow the boat enough to make the turn and avoid the reef without too much trouble

Oh and I am an idiot I mixed up states and cities so on the map you created the party is sailing out the southwest corner to get to Vipa :facepalm: <--I really wish we had that tag with this gif

[Tresezk]

"Pull that lever with grey handle . We have now slowed the ship .we need to change the direction now . Insert these cordinates and let the computer re caliberate .we will move slowly for 700 yards "

[agentc13]

"Man, I really hate sailing, next time let's catch a plane or something!"

[Yeahha]

Now that wouldn't be nearly as fun for me

[Tresezk]

"I don't think any one of us can learn to pilot a plane in one day."

[Yeahha]

You are able to get safely around the reef and keep on the journey. The radar indicates the reef disappearing behind you.

[agentc13]

I have someone else take over watch while I go below deck to eat.

[9to5cynic]

Climbing up the stairs to the main deck I look around contemplating the near miss we had with the reef.

[Yeahha]

Shortly after noon the sonar announces there is an object below you, this object is about halfway between you and the ocean floor. After observation for a while it appears to be rising slowly and staying directly beneath you

This should be fun, figure out what you guys want to do. I should be leaving for work in a few, once I get there I will be able to post what happens next. I will try to answer any questions between now and the time I have to leave, big hint with the title!

[agentc13]

Hearing the alarm from the SONAR I go above deck.
"OK, what is it this time. We better be ready for an attack. That thing is showing some odd behavior for any sort of sea creature, I would bet it is something coming after us."

Everyone healed up to full overnight correct?

[Yeahha]

Yeah everyone is fully healed, full charges and ready to die..er fight once they post...
