Eolo has connected.
Eolo says, "yarr"
DiegoValdez says, "Good eve."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "Lucian said he'd be late, right?"
Eolo says, "I'm at my parent's place rather than at home, but I'll probably be here for a bit, then leave to go home, then come back"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "he did"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Ok. Somewhat. Confusing. More talk would be worse."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "yes"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "and we have everyone else, right?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Getting food - back in a moment."
SinjinArgent says, "No true pirate would bunk at his parents'!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Everyone but Ender, I would gather."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "starting when you get back"
Eolo laughs.
GameMaster hollers, "7th Sea game about to start, last call for kibitzers"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "back"
Eolo says, "of course, I mean that metaphorically, as me mum is the sailin' ship and me paw is the deep blue sea"
[7thsea] ParserGirl asks, "7thsea Where do we go?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "type "walk the plank""
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to PG), "Whalk the plankl."
ParserGirl arrives, looking for booty.
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Oh, that works? Cool."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "also just 'plank'"
Spatch arrives, looking for booty.
GameMaster says (to Spatch), "you can use #peanut-gallery to chatter"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun arrives, looking for betty.
The Seventh Sea
This is it! The mythical Seventh Sea! Arr, there'll be plunderin' tonight!
You can see: pile of 10-sided dice, Shh! sign
Players: DiegoValdez, Eolo, Francesco, Federico, CharlesAlgun, GameMaster, SinjinArgent, ParserGirl, Spatch
Visible Exits: None
Diego Valdez is a tall, lean Castillian with dark hair and eyes, a pointed goatee, and long, sensitive fingers. His slightly morose expression only occasionally melts into a slow, lazy smile. He is dressed mostly in black and white, with gold trim on his jacket and a blood-red cummerbund.
You see nothing special.
You see nothing special.
[7thsea] (from Federico) FredFlintstone arrives, looking for WILMA!
You see nothing special.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Arr, whar's the wench go'en to this time?"
He's an eighteen year old boy, although his face appears hardened by the last few years. His height and build are average; his eyes and hair are brown. He looks Avalonian, and his skin appears tanned from long days at sea. He's dressed as a sailor, and there's a knife tucked into his belt.
[7thsea] SinjinArgent says, "What is the difference between "roll * dice" and "explode *""
GameMaster stands on the podium
He resembles himself. (reflexive property)
Carrying: fake Implementor nose and glasses, jokifier, Grim Reaper is inky!, Sargent has left the lounge
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Sorry)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "explode rolls one die in case you had a die explode"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "which means you rolled a 10 on a die"
[7thsea] SinjinArgent says, "Ah."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "and so you can roll again and add that to 10 for that die"
You see nothing special.
Obvious Actions: roll * dice, explode *
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "so you can have one die be, say, 25"
This room for mean scurvy-ridden pirates only! Arr! Spectators please keep to #peanut-gallery. OOC chatter by players please keep to #7thsea.
GameMaster says, "Through similar circumstances, you've all fallen into the hands of pirate slavers."
[peanut-gallery] ParserGirl settles down with a can of soda to watch the action.
[7thsea] Miseri says, "erg, story starting. shutting up now."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "explode doesn't actually work yet"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "unless someone fixed it"
GameMaster says, "Everyone, it seems, was somewhere in Castille, although everyone was on different business."
DiegoValdez says, "Curses."
GameMaster says, "The kidnappings were similar...an ambush, men in shadows, a blow to the back of the head, then darkness"
LoneCleric arrives, looking for booty.
CharlesAlgun says, "Ow."
DiegoValdez shakes his head and looks around.
Federico mutters a prayer to himself.
BastardJack rubs his head and groans.
GameMaster says, "Apparently for those far off shore, an extra sedative was used, because you don't wake until you find yourself in the stinking hole of a pirate galley, shackled by your wrists to the sturdy beams of the slave bunks, bunks stacked like cordwood."
Rob materializes.
GameMaster says, "There seem to be, upon counting, about 40 others with you"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Hrm. Does anyone here have a better idea of where we are than I have?"
Eolo turns his head, looking if his knife is still at his side.
DiegoValdez says, "Madre de Dios. I've heard of press gangs, but this is ridiculous."
GameMaster says, "you are merely wearing your clothes, and even your boots are gone."
[peanut-gallery] SinjinArgent says, "I feel the urge to say some of the things from that 'computer game characters play D&D' movie from a while back. 'Where're the cheetos?' 'I'm in the tavern. Am I getting drunk?'"
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack says, "Neat how we're all waking up at *exactly* the same time..."
CharlesAlgun asks, "I daresay this is unlikely the work of such a gang; what good are labourers with bound hands?"
GameMaster says, "Charles still has his necklace...perhaps they didn't see it"
[peanut-gallery] Spatch says, "I'M CASTING MAGIC MISSILE."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(apologies. I've got to cut out now. back in about twenty minutes)"
Eolo has disconnected.
DiegoValdez immediately begins to try to wiggle out of his bonds.
(From BastardJack) The drug seems to have hit Eolo harder than most - he is still out cold.
[7thsea] Miseri says, "heh"
[peanut-gallery] ParserGirl says, "nice save"
Federico tries to recall what he was doing when the attack came.
GameMaster says, "The shackles, alas, are too tightly bound...they are placed to bend your arms in such a way that there is no leverage"
GameMaster says, "[feel free to make something up by yourself what you were doing before the attack]"
BastardJack begins cursing under his breath, a steady stream.
CharlesAlgun asks, "We wouldn't be lucky enough to have any of the... independant persuasion amoun us, would we? Perhaps one skilled at liberating locks with the need for a key?"
DiegoValdez says, "If I could just get the right leverage...."
GameMaster says, "[Any other questions, comments, roleplaying before I go on?]"
CharlesAlgun shakes his head, "I thought not."
BastardJack shakes his head. "An' what good would it do ye, then? We're in the middle o' the blessed ocean, or I'm a Montaigne. Where'd you go?"
GameMaster says, "[Act in character. None of you know each other yet.]"
Federico cries out, "In the event that any hermanos would like to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation, I would be happy to oblige."
Federico continues, "The veil of secrecy may not be present, but it is rather dark and if we go to meet Theus, it could well be a comfort."
DiegoValdez says, "If I could get out of these shackles and get my hands on my sword, I'd teach these dogs a thing or two about press gangs."
BastardJack blinks and snickers. "Priests. Always got their minds in the clouds."
CharlesAlgun asks, "Perhaps, if we had down here some kind of tool, a nail, anything that might foul a lock... I can't see any cargo from where I am. Can any of you?"
[peanut-gallery] Jearl asks, "where is the Seventh Sea room?"
BastardJack calls over to Diego. "Calm your blood, whoe'r you are. Best to bide your time 'til we have the upper hand."
[peanut-gallery] SinjinArgent says, "type 'plank' (or 'walk the plank'"
[peanut-gallery] Spatch says, "from the lounge, 'thea'"
GameMaster says, "The only cargo seems to be you"
[peanut-gallery] Spatch says, "or at least that' show I did it :)"
Hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
Hafkris says, "Arr."
Federico turns in Jack's direction as says, "I am also willing to give a rather dry Baptism to those who ahve strayed from the True Faith."
[peanut-gallery] Jearl says, "ah"
CharlesAlgun prods around on the floor with his feet, in the hopes of finding any small objecs of possible use lying on the ground.
Hafkris says (to Federico), "Shut your trap."
You see nothing special.
Hafkris says, "They told me they gave me a special cargo of meat today, ones that look like troublemakers...I don't go on well with that."
dfan arrives, looking for booty.
[7thsea] dfan has joined the channel.
CharlesAlgun smiles. "Good sir, we wish no trouble. I myself have skills as a sailor which I'm cerain you could find useful, if you wish o pu me o work here on your vessel."
BastardJack stifles a snort.
DiegoValdez looks at Hafkris balefully, thinking nasty thoughts.
[peanut-gallery] Spatch says, "CharlesAlgun appears to be holding no t"
Hafkris says, "I'm not the person for that. Wait till we get there"
DiegoValdez asks, "Get where?"
Hafkris says, "I ain't your travel guide"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks (of GameMaster), "What does Hafkris look like?"
Hafkris draws a ring of keys out of his pocket
Hafkris asks, "These match yours, see?"
Hafkris says, "I'll just hang 'em over here where they can taunt ya better."
Hafkris puts the keys on a hook at the far wall
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are the shackles attached to the beam, or just looped around it?"
Federico prays to Theus to deliver him and his brethren.
Hafkris says, "Arr. Don't be making racket now, or I'll whip ya."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "eck, I don't have the channel on my other character"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "just ask them out straight"
DiegoValdez thinks that if he got out he'd make more than just a racket.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Anyway, Hafkris is very short...4 feet at most...heavy heavy beard, black"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I was hoping to keep OOC on the channel so I could filter the log."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(They can @joinc them all)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Ender), "Yeah."
[7thsea] Hafkris has joined the channel.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "ALso, how far are we from the wall with the keyring?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "about 2 yards."
GameMaster says, "[Hello?]"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Did anyone see what he did there? The keys -- can anyone reach them?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "arr, that's more like it"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Oh, is he gone? I was waiting til Hafkris left."
CharlesAlgun reaches his feet out towards the wall, trying to see if he can reach it...
GameMaster says, "it said 'hafkris steps behind the curtain'"
Federico continues praying.
BastardJack laughs. "Course I can!"
DiegoValdez says, "Well, I doubt if I can, senor. I'm not THAT nimble."
You whisper "I use Jack to turn my bonds into a knife." to GameMaster.
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "who has sailor skill?"
CharlesAlgun stretches out his person as far as possible, trying to touch the base of the wall with his toes.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I do."
You whisper "And I try to wait until nobody's looking, if possible." to GameMaster.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Can I reach the wall?)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "nobody can from their current position"
GameMaster whispers, "one moment"
CharlesAlgun says, "Curse it."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "make a wits+sailor roll"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that is, wits is kept dice, sailor is unkept"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Sailor is a skill; it has four knacks in it."
Federico test his own shackles, to see if they may have left the priest's shackles looser.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Should I sum them, or pick the highest/lowest knack, or what?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, right, pick the lowest"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4 dice: 2 9 6 2
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "17"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "OOH! I almost forgot ... don't I get a pin for my Swordsman's Guild membership? Am I wearing it?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to BastardJack), "also, make your roll now"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Um, ok. I'm not sure what that it."
GameMaster whispers, "panache+skill in whatever magic it is"
GameMaster whispers, "er, no"
GameMaster whispers, "I mean resolve"
GameMaster whispers, "resolve kept, skill unkept"
No user matching 'gm' is here.
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Miseri), "Sorry, no, you don't have anything but your clothes"
You whisper "What's the TN?" to GameMaster.
[7thsea] Miseri exclaims, "They shall PAY!"
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 4 dice: 5 6 7 10
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 1 die: 5
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "28"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Pay what 5 coppers?"
GameMaster says, "You see BastardJack's shackles glow and twist..."
DiegoValdez blinks
GameMaster says, "But they suddenly revert back to natural shape, snapping hard on Jack's wrists"
GameMaster says (to BastardJack), "take one wound"
BastardJack sighs. "Aye, well - so much for keepin' a secret."
DiegoValdez asks, "What the...?"
CharlesAlgun smiles knowingly.
Federico mutters, "Filthy Demon."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Where's the Ussuran boyar when you want him...."
[peanut-gallery] ParserGirl asks, "what's the secret?"
BastardJack shrugs. "I've a touch of the Seelie in me. It seems not too potent this far from the isles."
GameMaster says, "Ok, everyone do a wits roll now."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "er, wits roll"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 2 9 9
[peanut-gallery] Ellison asks, "secret?"
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 4 10 7
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 6 5
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 1 die: 4
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 7 3 9
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "25 (21 if no explosions)"
[peanut-gallery] ParserGirl says, "nevermind"
[7thsea] Federico says, "20"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yes, it explodes"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "19"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "11"
GameMaster whispers, "you feel the ship shift slightly, as if a storm is about to begin"
Hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Wait ... that's just plain Wits with no knack addition?"
[peanut-gallery] WeirdBeard says, "There's a secret? Nobody told me there was a secret. That's the point of having a secret though, I guess."
Hafkris says, "I come bearing ya gruel"
Hafkris whips out a tray with bowls containing disgusting-looking porridge
DiegoValdez says, "I hope it's healthy. Wouldn't want to get dysentry in these close quarters."
Hafkris says, "Not gonna be too long with dis ship but you need to eat once"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "What's it smell like?"
DiegoValdez says, "Well, Hallelujah."
[7thsea] Hafkris says, "nothing"
Hafkris sets it before everyone's faces, as if they are supposed to mash their head in to eat it
BastardJack says, "Well, I seen worse."
DiegoValdez asks, "I say, senor ... how are we to eat with our hands tied?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "one sec, roll needed, let me see who needs it"
Eolo has connected.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(back)"
GameMaster whispers, "roll against wits + 1 unkept die"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Yay. The smell of the noxious gruel wakes the Vodacce."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "people will be rollin'"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 4 8 9
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 4 dice: 5 1 6 7
[peanut-gallery] TableSaw says, "Heh."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "can I pretend to have been here all along, or has the action moved on?"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Rolling what?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "19"
GameMaster whispers, "magic twitch with the porridge"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "17"
[7thsea] BastardJack says (to eolo), "We're chained to bunks. You've been unconscious."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Sorry, that's 18."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "excellent"
[7thsea] Federico says, "And there's gruel on our chests."
Hafkris finishes with the porridge and turns to leave
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "What are we rolling?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "they already rolled"
BastardJack exclaims, "Hold there!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "we need to come up with a private rolling system though"
Hafkris takes off his belt and hits Jack on the face once with it
BastardJack exclaims, "Are ye tryin' to poison us? I can /smell/ the rot in this!"
Hafkris says (to BastardJack), "don't be talkin' back, it's as good as we get, too good, really."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Perhaps dice that @tell(@player("GameMaster"), ...) rather than @tellroom(whatever)?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that would be helpful, although they should also tell the person rolling"
BastardJack says, "If ya want us to work when we get where we're goin, ye'd best feed us proper."
GameMaster says, "[He's gone already.]"
Federico says, "I would suggest grace, but I guess it's not appropriate."
CharlesAlgun says, "Hmm. I don't know about you, but I'm not entirely convinced the food is ... bad."
[7thsea] Federico says, "I have 3 10-sided with me that I can use."
CharlesAlgun says, "Bu I contend that I daren't choose to take the first taste either."
BastardJack looks oddly at Algun. "No?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I have my own set of dice here as well"
DiegoValdez says, "Well, if I eat this, one of two things will happen. I will spill it, or I will throw up. Either way, I'd rather not ruin my shirt. Seeing as how it seems that my luggage has been misdirected."
CharlesAlgun asks, "Well, the way I consider it, what would be the benefit of any to poison us?"
Federico cries out, "This gruel? Is it supposed to quiet us?
CharlesAlgun says, "Any who intends us harm has his wish already -- and they could kill us with a knife as easy as with stew."
BastardJack says, "'Twas my thought. They mean us to sleep for the voyage."
Federico says softly, "Then perhaps 'twould be best if they thought us asleep."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Hey, I'm not seeing any 'Hafkris leaves' messages."
CharlesAlgun looks thoughtful. "You may be right, in that."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "weird"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I think because the room is set abode"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "but maybe not"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Ender), "No 'Hafkris steps behind the curtain.'?"
DiegoValdez asks, "A fine idea, padre. But surely they would see that our ... food has been untouched?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Nope."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "do you have it so you don't see people's 'going to home' messages?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ah. Yes, yes I do."
Eolo shakes his head slowly and sits up
Eolo says, "ai."
BastardJack looks at the one who is stirring, and a sly grin spreads over his face.
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "how to unset it?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "don't worry, I'll get it"
Eolo says, "I had been hoping that was a dream."
GameMaster the ship suddenly leers portward, spilling porridge along the ground
CharlesAlgun says, "Is there any here brave, hungry, or sleepy enough to risk the food? If so, he can have my portion, and I'm certain I'm not alone in that idea."
BastardJack twists his body and heaves his bowl to the deck.
DiegoValdez says, "Someone has been spilling my porridge."
(From BastardJack) "They'll never know if it's eaten or not!" he shouts in glee.
CharlesAlgun rights his bowl as well.
Federico knocks over his bowl.
DiegoValdez grabs the edge of the bowl with his teeth, tips it over the side, then rights it again on his chest.
(From GameMaster) The ship suddenly leers aftward, then portward, than starboardward
(From GameMaster) A gust of wind can be heard blowing over
Eolo watches the bowl slide off his chest and form a puddle on the floor.
CharlesAlgun turns out anything left in his own bowl.
DiegoValdez says, "ulp ... I never thought I'd be thankful for a rocking ship...."
(From GameMaster) A thunderclap resounds in the distance
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun sits on the floor, and ries o take the bowl in his feet.
CharlesAlgun sits on the floor, and ries o take the bowl in his feet.
Eolo says, "it'd be a pity to go down chained to a ship."
CharlesAlgun heaves the bowl at the keyring on the wall.
Hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
Hafkris walks over to the keys and picks them up
BastardJack asks (of CharlesAlgun), "You - ye said ye were a sailor. Are we in danger?"
DiegoValdez pretends to be asleep.
Federico feigns sleep.
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ack! Late."
CharlesAlgun says (to Jack), "Of what? The sea seems in right fine weather today."
Eolo watches Hafkris silently.
CharlesAlgun nods his head, "Right fine weather..." and closes his eyes.
Hafkris walks over to the slaves at the front of the ship and unshackles a group of them. They moan
DiegoValdez says, "...snore..."
Hafkris takes out a whip and herds them out. "C'mon, you swabs, we need some more outside."
BastardJack keeps his eyes open defiantly and watches them leave.
(From GameMaster) The wind is getting harsh now, the ship rocking violently
Option nohomemsg cleared.
(From GameMaster) Thunderclap occur on the minute
CharlesAlgun says, "Right. Those keys are not a man's height from us, and we're just sitting here."
Eolo says, "chained here, but the point is taken"
Hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
DiegoValdez says, "Well, senor, we can't reach them. And it's not as if they'd sprouted wings and flown to us."
CharlesAlgun says, "Look, the way the swing away from the wall each time the boat tilts. If we could throw something to catch them underneath, at the right time..."
Hafkris is clearly very drenched
Eolo grins slightly.
CharlesAlgun asks, "Ah, the weather is wet out there on deck?"
BastardJack looks at Diego. "Ye've kept yer bowl, smart one. Try and hook it at them."
Hafkris unlocks some more prisoner chains and starts herding them out, this time more violently
CharlesAlgun says, "Well, we ought to be thankful we're in here, I imagine..."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Late again! Every time I type something, Hafkris comes in."
DiegoValdez waits for Hafkris to leave
CharlesAlgun asks (of Jack), "Here now, throwing your bowl at our fellow prisoners?"
Hafkris steps behind the curtain.
CharlesAlgun says, "They may have had unkind words, but we should remain as one."
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "I need to unset the nohomemsg thing. how?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "@oclear nohomemsg"
(From GameMaster) [You folks are the only one left who are still conscious]
GameMaster says, "ones"
Eolo says, "he'll be coming for us next"
BastardJack says (to Charles), "The keys, ya daft melon."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "When my bowl bounced off the wall, did it land where I could reach it?"
(From GameMaster) Rain, thunder, lightning, and at one point, you think you hear the thump of a body
DiegoValdez says, "Si ... let me try...."
CharlesAlgun asks (of Jack), "Right, care to say that to the guard's face next time?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "is halfkris armed besides the whip? and is he removing cuffs and stuff from the prisoners when he herds them out?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to CharlesAlgun), "No, Eolo can though"
Federico says, "If we don't get the keys, act drugged, there must be a man among you who could take him with the element of surprise."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, s/half/haf/"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "Not that you see, but he does seem to have pockets which could potentially hold more weapons"
CharlesAlgun says, "Here, Vodacce, my bowl -- could you kick it toward me? There, by your left foot..."
Eolo obliges, sending the bowl sliding across the deck.
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Straight Finesse? Or Finesse + Throw?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "straight"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 2 10 3 6
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 6
[7thsea] Miseri says, "22"
DiegoValdez chucks his bowl at the keys....
CharlesAlgun picks it up, and watches the keys -- back, forth, back, forth.
[7thsea] Miseri exclaims, "Wait! More than 22!"
[7thsea] Miseri exclaims, "27!"
(From GameMaster) You hear a great screaming...then a tearing sound
(From GameMaster) Everyone do wits
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 10 6 10
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 1 5 9
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 2 dice: 4 4
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 5 10 8
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 1 die: 8
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 7 1
Francesco groggily wakes up.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 6 10 8
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "good enough"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "31"
[7thsea] Francesco exclaims, "Waves!"
GameMaster says, "The ship is being torn apart"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "8 ... I feel dumb."
[7thsea] Federico rolls 1 die: 5
[7thsea] Francesco rolls 2 dice: 5 9
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "well, everyone except for you notices :-)"
Eolo says (to Francesco), "a fine time to arise, friend"
CharlesAlgun says, "Well. It seems the storm is a bit worse than I thought."
BastardJack exclaims, "Ach! By the Queen's own arse, that's all we need!"
Francesco says (to Eolo), "Um, indeed."
BastardJack examines the beam that he's shackled to, looking for weak spots.
DiegoValdez asks, "What? Are we in trouble? More so than usual, I mean?"
Federico says, ""Theus protect us as you protected the first prophet on the stormy seas!""
CharlesAlgun watches the keys, and makes another attempt to knock them off with his bowl.
BastardJack exclaims (at Diego), "The damned ship is breakin' up!"
Eolo says (to Diego), "we are in no problems, sir"
Eolo says (to Diego), "assuming you are half-fish"
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack exclaims, "No-one laughs at Mr. Fish!"
(From GameMaster) There is an enormous crash -- a grating, grinding sound and horrible shuddering of the ship...you are running aground
CharlesAlgun says, "If we're in the middle of La Boca, I doubt even a fish could find land in this storm..."
CharlesAlgun says, "Ah. And I am shown wrong again."
BastardJack says, "At least we've one saving grace -"
(From GameMaster) Abovedecks, there's the sound of snapping spars and a great crash on the deck which must be the mast coming down
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Er ... my bowl-throwing never made it, huh?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Likewise mine, which I never rolled for?)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "no, not really"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are we all shackled to the same beam, or differnt ones?"
BastardJack exclaims, "It'd have to be an arse of a wave to knock these beams from our grasp!"
(From GameMaster) You're all thrown toward the bow, but are still held fast by your shackles and suffer more bruises to your wrists
CharlesAlgun says, "How many of us are there? If we all fought ogether, perhaps we can do better than a wave."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "different"
DiegoValdez says, "Right ... right ... Let's try this ... EVERYONE ... pull! Perhaps if we all worked at once we could break this beam..."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Damn"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Does that mean we should ignore what Diego and I just said?"
Francesco's lips move in silent prayer, even as he eyes an opportunity to get out of these shackles.
GameMaster says, "The bow of the galley is shattered by the impact, and as the galley grinds to a halt, the bow is torn away entirely, letting in a ferocious blast of numbingly-cold air and rain"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Yes. Or we're idiots."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "one sec"
BastardJack says, "Mayhap if I brace myself, I can kick the beam beside me loose..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "This is a bunch of stuff that happens at once"
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack says, "Gotcha"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Roll Initiative?"
Eolo leans back now, waiting.
[peanut-gallery] Adam has left the channel.
DiegoValdez prays silently.
GameMaster says, "The port side of the galley is laid open by a huge boulder that the galley has ground against. Out of the open bow, you can see a section of rain-pounded beach; you seem to have run aground where a cliff face meets a cove beach"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Er, 'eyes an' --> 'looks for'."
LoneCleric disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
GameMaster says, "This all happened in about 5 seconds :-)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "(Perhaps when an event is a long one, ending a GM announceent with
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "there aren't many like this though"
GameMaster says, "Ok, all done with description"
GameMaster says, "Still raining hard, everyone in a tumble"
Francesco looks around for the keys.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Has this incident changed the location of the keys, WRT us?"
GameMaster says, "The keys don't seem to be anywhere"
[7thsea] Francesco says (to Charles), "I like the way you think ;-)"
Federico searches for anything useful near him
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Can we walk?"
CharlesAlgun pulls on the bunk he's attached to, trying to see if it may have coe loose from the deck.
BastardJack begins yanking on his chains, trying to budge them or the beam that holds them.
GameMaster whispers, "a bit loose"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Here, friends, I think -- can anyone else reach this beam?"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Can we reach our neighbours?"
DiegoValdez says, "Let me try...."
CharlesAlgun says, "I think, with an extra hand, we could get it to move..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "foot, rather"
Francesco looks around near him for anyone unconscious and underwater (assuming there's water in here).
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you are all pretty bunched up now"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Also, I assume we all figured out a common language somewhere along the way...."
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "this is Star Trek RPG :-)"
BastardJack puts his weight on his chains, straining to reach Charles' beam with his leg.
CharlesAlgun says, "Here, everyone, grab this bea, and we'll all pull at once..."
Federico say I speak everything but usura.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I'm just ignoring that, that would make things too hard to keep track of"
[7thsea] Federico says, "ILAC."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I think we all speak either french or spanish"
CharlesAlgun says, "On three -- one..."
CharlesAlgun says, "Two..."
Federico angles to the beam.
[7thsea] Francesco says, "I think everyone has Montaigne, and almost everyone has Castillian."
CharlesAlgun exclaims, "*Three*!"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Montaign is the common language for us, I think."
GameMaster says, "whoever is helping, brawn, please"
Francesco helps, if possible.
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack asks, "Er, how do we pull when our hands are lashed?"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 10 8
[7thsea] Federico rolls 1 die: 3
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 2 dice: 6 7
Eolo offers a foot.
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 2 dice: 5 8
DiegoValdez PUSHES
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 2 5
[7thsea] Francesco rolls 2 dice: 8 2
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 5 8
[7thsea] Federico says, "21"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "7"
BastardJack kicks out at the beam.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "13"
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack says, "13"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "13"
(From GameMaster) BANG
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "13"
[7thsea] Francesco exclaims, "Bingo!"
GameMaster says, "Chrales's beam flies away"
GameMaster says, "eck"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I've been talking on peanut-gallery by mistake for ages now..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Aha!"
[7thsea] Francesco laughs.
DiegoValdez says, "Praise be."
BastardJack gives a crow of laughter.
Federico says, "Praise Theus."
CharlesAlgun searches madly for the keys -- or any large pieces of wood that ight ake a good club, for breakign others free.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 5 6 6
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I am not on #pea. Did I miss anything important? :)"
GameMaster says, "After 5 minutes, still no keys. Everything is a bit of a mess"
BastardJack says, "The lot o' you as aren't free - try this now."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "No."
Francesco Is everyone free?
GameMaster says, "No, just Charles"
DiegoValdez says, "Perhaps we should try this again."
CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone else feel any give?"
BastardJack wraps his wrists around his chains and gets ready to pull.
DiegoValdez tugs at his beam.
BastardJack calls, "Aye! Mine!"
Eolo reaches out for Diego's beam.
Federico asks, "En el Nombre del profeta, can't re hust break us out one at a time?"
Francesco tests his beam for weaknesses.
GameMaster says, "[BastardJack feels give, nobody else does]"
Eolo says, "well then."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 2 dice: 2 3
CharlesAlgun goes to Jack's beam, and braces against it.
[7thsea] Francesco rolls 2 dice: 1 9
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(big help!)"
BastardJack says, "On three again - one..."
(From GameMaster) The wind dies down a little, but it is still raining
DiegoValdez swings his feet over to Jack's beam.
BastardJack says, "...two..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 7 8
BastardJack exclaims, "...THREE!"
Federico Braces by Jack's
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 2 dice: 6 1
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 8 2
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 4 1
[7thsea] Miseri says, "10"
(From GameMaster) BANG
CharlesAlgun shoves with his shoulder.
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "7"
GameMaster says, "That was enough, thank you :-)"
[7thsea] Federico says, "5"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "I have to get a new name. I keep thinking I'm Federico ;-)"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "The brothers F."
BastardJack goes sprawling as the beam above his head gives way.
[7thsea] Federico says, "So do I, strangely."
CharlesAlgun asks, "Well, that's two down. Does anyone else feel they might be able to break theirs?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Francesco), "you aren't?"
Francesco says (to Charles), "Not I."
Federico says, "No."
DiegoValdez tugs at his beam again.
Eolo yanks.
Francesco examines his (and others') beams to see how they're attached.
BastardJack picks himself up and heads for the hole.
DiegoValdez asks, "Perhaps if we could get a cutting implement?"
Federico tugs again.
DiegoValdez asks (of Jack), "Senor! You are not leaving us??"
BastardJack says, "If I kin find th' corpse of that dwarf, I could find his knife and cut ye free."
Federico mutters, "Selfish. Typical of the followers of Legion."
[7thsea] Francesco afk a sec.
BastardJack wraps what's left of his shackles round his fist. "An' I find him living, I can make him a corpse first."
DiegoValdez says, "I had a sword with me ... If they haven't thrown it away, it might be kept somewhere onboard."
BastardJack stops by the hole and stealthily sticks his head out, glancing around for signs of trouble.
GameMaster says (to BastardJack), "blast of cold air"
GameMaster says (to BastardJack), "craggy rocks, a beach"
GameMaster says, "one moment"
[7thsea] Federico says, "afk"
GameMaster says (to BastardJack), "the cliff descends as it continues down the beach, until it's no more than a line of rocks a few feet high at the far end"
CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps we may find something useful outside..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "everyone but Jack roll wits"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 10 8
CharlesAlgun steps over to the gaping opening.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 4
[7thsea] Miseri says, "22"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 8 1 9
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 6 2 2
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "18"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "10"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 6 1 9
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Miseri), "you see a glint on the far floor, beneath some debris"
[7thsea] Federico says, "16"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I don't seem to be achieving my full potential with these dice."
BastardJack waves Charles back. "Stay put, ye heavy-foot," he hisses. "They could be out there."
DiegoValdez says, "Wait! Over there ... that stack of rubbish..."
DiegoValdez gestures with his big toe.
CharlesAlgun steps back in, follow Diego's gestures.
BastardJack slips outside, keeping to the shadows.
CharlesAlgun searches the rubbish.
GameMaster says, "you see the keys"
DiegoValdez exclaims, "Ah!"
CharlesAlgun grabs the keyring, and unshackles Diego.
BastardJack pauses just outside, one eye on the beach, the other on the action inside.
CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Well seen, my friend!"
DiegoValdez exclaims, "Gracias, senor!"
DiegoValdez says, "The others, now...."
CharlesAlgun continues around the room, doing the sae for the others.
Eolo says, "excellent."
Federico rubs his wrists. "Libre finalmente."
(From GameMaster) outside, you hear singing
DiegoValdez heads towards the curtain. Must find sword.
Eolo raises an eyebrow.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Rough, uncouth male singing?"
BastardJack waves for silence. "Listen!"
GameMaster says, "Some sort of sea shanty"
DiegoValdez pauses. Singing?
GameMaster says, "Done very badly"
Federico tries to understand the words of the song.
[7thsea] BastardJack says (to Diego), "There's no actual curtain. That's just the GM's standard entrance/exit for puppets."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I think."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
DiegoValdez thinks, "Feh. I've heard better from the horses on the ranchero."
CharlesAlgun continues searching the debris, for anything else that might be there...
GameMaster says, "You can't quite hear, but the chorus contains the word 'arr'"
Federico looks around for shoes or useful items.
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "singing coming this way?"
GameMaster says, "moving back and forth now"
BastardJack listens hard, tries to tell which direction it's coming from.
Federico says, "Perhaps these are the ones picking up their delivery."
DiegoValdez goes for the usual, proper entrance to this room. Presumably it should lead to other storage areas.
GameMaster says, "There is a hatch"
GameMaster says, "It seems to be blocked by something"
BastardJack looks for a place to climb up the outside of the ship. There may be another way in from the top deck.
DiegoValdez pushes at the hatch, then shakes his head and goes back to where the hole is.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4 dice: 6 5 10 9
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 1 die: 1
Federico says, "Come, surely we can open this hatch after those beams."
Federico goes to the hatch, waving the others to follow him.
DiegoValdez says (to Federico), "That is true, padre. Let us try."
CharlesAlgun says, "Our careless captors seem to left something behind."
Federico begins pushing against the door.
(From GameMaster) The singing gets a bit louder and you hear pacing up the beach
CharlesAlgun pulls a knife from the debris.
DiegoValdez asks (of Charles), "eh?"
Eolo says (to Charles), "do tell"
Eolo smiles at the sight.
[7thsea] Francesco back.
DiegoValdez eyes the knife. Hm. Too short for his own use, but perhaps someone else might know how to handle such.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "everyone wits"
Eolo asks, "I don't suppose there are a dozen more like it?"
CharlesAlgun tucks it in his belt. "I for one feel better with this in hand than without."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 4 3 4
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 5 3 4
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 3 dice: 5 5 3
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "13"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 8 10
BastardJack sees the knife out of the corner of his eye. "Are you a knife fighter, sailor?"
Francesco tends to the unconscious/wounded.
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 7 8 2
[7thsea] Eolo says, "11"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 8
[7thsea] Federico says, "12. eh."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "17"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "26"
CharlesAlgun says (to Jack), "Inasmuch as I use the blade at all, I am."
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Aren't we all here and awake?"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "I assume there were others here with us, right?"
BastardJack frowns. "Are ye skilled with it, or not?"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Francesco), "everyone but us was herded out"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "during the storm"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "probably to their death"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
DiegoValdez stops. "Shh. Let us be quiet.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "'probably'"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Everyone everyone? I thought others passed out from the gruel."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "unless someone else wants to join our game :-)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, that wasn't sleeping gruel"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Heh."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I imagine they're still unconscious or dead from the crash."
Eolo waits.
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Well, as there will probably be others joining, let's say I tend to the currently unconscious."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "any extras can conviently be people who were abovedeck but survived"
CharlesAlgun whispers, "What are we listening for?"
DiegoValdez says, "That singing ... it's the accursed dwarf ..."
GameMaster says, "The singing goes into it's 7th chorus"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(That was a stage-whisper, not real)"
DiegoValdez says, "...and it's that accursed song about the 100 beer bottles...."
GameMaster says (to DiegoValdez), "with Arr added alot"
[7thsea] Francesco laughs.
Eolo exclaims, "pirates!"
CharlesAlgun asks (of Diego), "That hatch, was it locked?"
[peanut-gallery] Sargent says, "99 bottles of grog on the wall...."
BastardJack says (to Charles), "Toss me the knife! I owe him for a lashing."
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Wait--we were on a merchant ship?"
Francesco says (to Charles), "Blocked, it seems."
DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "It was blocked. The padre suggested we do to it as we did to the beams."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "It's a slaver ship"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it may have been a merchant one in the past but you don't know if that is true or not"
CharlesAlgun shakes his head. "I don't know about you, but I'd rather escape with y wits intact and return another day, than fight a dozen men with sowrds, with but one knife between us."
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Which is distinct from a pirate ship, I take it."
Federico says, "But the attention of all of you went to the shiny weapon on the ground, rather than the entrance to above."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "well, there's lots of room for slaves"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "is someone glancing out the hole?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "nobody is at the hole, I didn't think"
Francesco looks to see if he can make a servicable staff from a broken beam or the like.
BastardJack says, "Well, then. Test yer hatch."
BastardJack goes back outside.
GameMaster says, "The singing is on its 11th chorus"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "The singing isn't on the other side of the hatch, hopefully?"
Eolo joins him, glancing out cautiously.
GameMaster says, "It seems to be someone walking back and forth on the beach"
Eolo asks, "a single man?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of G), "Only one person?"
GameMaster says, "Yes."
Federico tries again to push open the hatch.
BastardJack suddenly grins. "Aha! Tricky bastard."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "how far away?"
GameMaster says, "Pretty close"
Francesco asks, "I take it there's no easy way to the beach from the broken hull?"
DiegoValdez joins his strength to Federico's.
CharlesAlgun asks (of Eolo), "What do you see?"
[peanut-gallery] TableSaw asks, "Isn't this how Roots started?"
BastardJack says, "I think I know what he's doing."
CharlesAlgun joins the effort on the hatch as well.
Eolo says (to Charles), "guard. single one."
DiegoValdez says (to Jack), "
GameMaster says, "The singing is interrupted by a burp, and then he starts up again, apparently forgetting which verse he was on"
BastardJack says (to DiegoValdez), "Wait."
BastardJack slips out into the shadows.
Francesco, if there's room, will help with the hatch (hopefully with a somewhat servicable staff).
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of BJ), "you're leaving the ship?"
GameMaster says (to Francesco), "just a short walk through the tide"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I'm gonna try to sneak closer to him. I've got the Stealth knack."
Hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Our friend has returned!"
Hafkris says, "Arr, five million bottles of beer on the wall, five million bottles of beer..."
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack pays no attention to the man behind the curtain.
GameMaster says, "He's still on the beach"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Um, where did he come from?"
BastardJack shakes his head. "Ne'er mind. Not what I thought."
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Half Kris, Half Kristofferson--will this madness never end?!?"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Shall we show him our gratitude?"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Can we change 'curtain' to 'dramatic veil' or the like?"
Hafkris turns and walks the other way on the beach
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yeah, that'd be good."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "if you want"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "or "from offstage""
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Also, you guys can't see him - you're at the hatch. I'm on the beach."
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Meanwhile, how are we doing with the hatch?"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "So only BJ can see Haf?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I like offstage."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Jack), "Oh. That's confusing."
[7thsea] Francesco says, "I also like offstage."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Miseri), "still blocked"
[7thsea] (from BastardJack) Halfkris exits stage left.
GameMaster whispers, "do your stealth roll now"
GameMaster whispers, "finesse kept+stealth unkept"
CharlesAlgun examines the hatch, to see how sturdy the wood seems to be.
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 4 dice: 5 6 9 1
Hafkris pauses as he nears one end of the beach, turns unsteadly, and walks the other way
BastardJack 15
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "15"
Hafkris snaps suddenly sober
DiegoValdez says (to Federico), "This is not working, Padre. I say we confront our captor and give him what-for. Then try from the other side."
BastardJack takes to the shadows at the base of the cliff, creeping closer, hands twitching.
Hafkris he draws a long knife out of his pocket
DiegoValdez says, "There is just one of him, and 6 of us."
Eolo says (to DV), "pause a minute, sir. stealth first."
[7thsea] Francesco says (to DV), "This is all happening on the beach, and only BJ is there."
Federico says, "I'm a man of the cloth, I will not attack a man for vengence."
DiegoValdez says, "Pah, stealth."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yeah, pah. You see where it got me."
[7thsea] Francesco says, "All we know is that BJ left, and that the singing stopped."
DiegoValdez says (to Federico), "For your own safety and survival, then."
CharlesAlgun says (to Federico), "Would you attack a man for your life? He'd kill us at half an opportunity."
Hafkris suddenly starts running towards where BastardJack is, yelling
DiegoValdez looks distasteful at the idea of subterfuge.
BastardJack swears and leaps at the pirate with a whoop.
Eolo says, "game's up, friends."
Francesco, hearing yelling, exits the bow.
Eolo grabs up a convenient plank and goes out through the hatch.
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Initiative now?"
DiegoValdez swears and runs towards the opening.
[7thsea] Francesco says, "(with staff in hand)"
Federico makes no answer, but goes to the hole to watch.
CharlesAlgun follows the others out to the beach.
GameMaster says, "Yep, combat time"
CharlesAlgun draws his knife on the way out.
GameMaster says, "Everyone else can make it there in one phase"
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 8 2 8
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 3 dice: 8 7 8
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 8 2
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "please wait until the next phaes"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Um, do I act twice in phase 8, or how does that work?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "I don't know how combat works, yet."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "just BastardJack for the first one"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Twice on 8."
[7thsea] BastardJack says (to GameMaster), "You mean next round."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Francesco), "we'll all work it out."
[7thsea] Francesco rolls 10 dice: 8 3 6 8 7 5 9 6 9 4
[7thsea] Federico asks, "shouldn't we roll first?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "a phase is made up of actions?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Man, that was a joke, but those were ten good dice ;-)"
GameMaster says, "holdon,"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Should we do this one slow and explain the steps?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "nobody but bastardjack roll, please."
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Yes, please."
GameMaster says, "Ok, BastardJack has first move"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "we're all still busy coming out of the ship as he fights the guy for a bit."
GameMaster says, "Knife roll, please"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ok, for those who haven't done combat: this is a round. It's divided into phases."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Jack has a knife?)"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I roll my Panache, and that tells me which phases I can act it."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "charles has the knife, I think."
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 3 3 3
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Unless he stole it."
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, Jack didn't get it? d'oh"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Which I wouldn't know about."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, fists"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Woo! I attack 3 times in phase 3."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you already did your roll, it was 828"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Dirty fighting, actually - I'm trying to wrap my shackles around his throat."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, that's right, you have the shackes"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "feel free to roll"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Oh, I thought you wanted me to reroll. Ok, in phase 2 - I hold my action in case he attacks me."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "use either finesse or brawn, whichever you prefer"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Does he go before phase 8?"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Should be Finesse."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "he has 2 9"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Miseri), "Depends how you do it"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Ok. So is he going first, or is he holding his two?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "2 + 8 + 8 > 2+ 9"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "therefore you go first"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yes. I'm holding it."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "ok, holding two, so he goes?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I am passing my action so I can use it to dodge later. His turn."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "his turn is the same as yours, remember"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Yes. Is he using it? Or holding it, same as I am?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, his knife roll was 2-6-1"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "so he's still obviously rather drunk"
Hafkris swings at Jack and almost falls over
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Maybe there is no 'hold action', per se, in this game."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How much of this can we see?"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Francesco), "there is."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you can see it but you aren't there to fight yet"
[7thsea] Federico says, "There are held actions."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ok. Now with my 8 I attack, rolling Finesse."
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 1 10 1
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 1 die: 9
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "20"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "But could BJ then do 'defense' if he had rolled well? And would it help?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yes."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "4-3-1 for him"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Eh?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you have him by the throat"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "his passive defense"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "attacks can be defended against twice -- they're always defended against by a passive defense, and you can optionally spend a held action or two unheld actions to do an active defense (ie, a parry)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "You roll passive defense?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "anyway, you still have an action for 8 and an action in holding"
BastardJack slips behind the pirate as he stumbles, and wraps his chains around his throat.
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Er, what's the damage on that?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I don't think you roll passive defense"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah, if you attack someone and they don't have an action that round they still have passive defense"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "My first is 2k1 if you wanna use that."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "No. Passive defence is what creates the TN for the attacker to hit."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I think passive defense was just a number based on your defense knacks, not a roll."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, lemme see"
[7thsea] Federico says (to CA), "right."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "it's like 5 times your knack, isn't it?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, right"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "5 + 5 times your knack, I think."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "five times, plus five."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "he succeeds in any case, yes?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "5+(defense knack x 5)"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "oops"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you still have an action for 8"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "going once, going twice..."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "What's my damage roll"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you just see him choke"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I gotta roll damage for that, then I've got two actions left."
[7thsea] Limax has joined the channel.
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ok. I throttle him harder for my next action."
[7thsea] Limax says, "I meant to rejoin."
[7thsea] WeirdBeard has joined the channel.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right, roll twice"

[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, phase 9"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "want to do anything?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "er, round 9"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Waiting for phase 10."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "You were right, phase 9."
[7thsea] Federico asks, "It's 10 phases per round, right?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yes."
Hafkris takes both his fists and thuds them into BastardJack's groin
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Using my held action to dodge."
[7thsea] Hafkris says, "ok, active defense roll then"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "(Why did I roll twice a minute ago, BTW?)"
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 5 dice: 2 6 3 5 7

[7thsea] BastardJack says, "20"
[7thsea] Hafkris says, "take a wound, then"
[7thsea] trikiw has joined the channel.
[7thsea] trikiw asks, "how do you get 7 rolling one dice?"
BastardJack sees the blow coming and wrenches his body sideways, but his grip on the ruffian's throat is too tight to move easily.
(From GameMaster) BastardJack and Hafkris both tumble to the ground
[7thsea] Eolo says (to trikiw), "they're 10-sided"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "What's my wound check?"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Er ... This is the part where Jack rolls brawn to see if it's a dramatic or flesh wound."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is Hafkris armed?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Knife. I think he dropped it when I throttled him."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that particular hit was just with his fists, don't worry about a wound checkl"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "So it did nothing?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "the knife he had is on the ground although he falls next to it"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "You have a Flesh Wound, right?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right, you only have 1 flesh wound"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "not a big deal"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Oh. I thought I had a Dramatic wound."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "actually, 2 from your magic thing earlier"
GameMaster says, "Ok, next phase"
GameMaster says, "everyone joins in"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Round?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 3 dice: 8 2 7
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 4 10
trikiw disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
[7thsea] BastardJack rolls 3 dice: 2 6 7
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Everyone rolls panache, right?"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "rigth"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I have 1-10 for Hafkris"

[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 1 10
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "I have combat reflexes -> reroll one die?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah"
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 2
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(not that it'll matter much)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you have to keep your reroll if I remember"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "right. Which phase are you replacing with the 2, Eolo?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "the 9"
You whisper "it'd be easiest if you call out 'Phase 1', 'Phase 2', etc, and have every say if they can go." to GameMaster.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "so 2 7 8"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Heh."
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Is Hafkris still holding the knife?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "No, it's on the ground next to him."
Hafkris takes a whip stashed in his trousers and does a swinging motion with it
Federico I grab for the knife on the ground.
[7thsea] Federico says, "Er. Fix the tense."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Eolo: heh. Same as me."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(isn't hafkris on the ground?)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "he's sitting"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "With shackles still around his neck?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "the shackles fell"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "they are on the sand"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, round 2"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Phase 2"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "we have a couple people I think"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Phase 2."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "whatever you want to call it :-)"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I have a total of 15"
[7thsea] Francesco grins.
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Did I get the knife?"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Eolo and I have the same total of 17"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah, that's a no-roll"
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Also, what happened with the whip?"
[7thsea] Federico says, "OK."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Hafkris is holding it out menacingly"
DiegoValdez grabs for the whip.
DiegoValdez has seens whips often enough before back home in Castille....
[7thsea] Francesco exclaims, "TMI!"
Eolo punches Hafkris.
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "Grabbing for the whip ... roll? TN?"
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack says, "I little glimpse into the debauchery of the Castillian courts there, folks."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "hm...what skill would that be?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "finesse?"
[peanut-gallery] Limax says, "Heh."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "just flat out finesse I guess"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roll it"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "unless you've got whip skill"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 1 7 1 2
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Roll vs. chutzpah, because you know if he fails he's getting it in the face."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sorry"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "That was pathetic."
[peanut-gallery] Limax says, "So, if I'd been able to take the second quarter, I might have understood what you are doing."
GameMaster asks, "Other people have 2s, right?"
[peanut-gallery] Limax says, "ILAK"
GameMaster says, "This is hard to do just by backscroll"
Eolo punches.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Jack does."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 5 dice: 5 2 7 6 8
[peanut-gallery] BastardJack says, "i'm after Eolo"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I think."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I'm after Eolo"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "is that finesse + pugilism skill?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yes"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "so, um, 21"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "big thump as you mash his face"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "he's out"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Yay! Roll damage! Brawn keep 2, I think."
[7thsea] Miseri exclaims, "Oh, he's a Brute? Yay!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "nah, don't worry about it, you needed just a little more after the choking"
Eolo grins.
Eolo says, "now then."
[7thsea] Francesco says, "You should say this in the room."
CharlesAlgun says, "Ah, well done."
Eolo looks up and down the beach to see if any notice was taken.
BastardJack stoops to grab for the knife, but is beaten to it.
Hafkris has disconnected.
Hafkris steps behind the curtain.
GameMaster says, "Since he won't be talking"
CharlesAlgun says, "Check the scoundrel's pockets."
DiegoValdez grins. "Good work, senor.
Federico looks at the knife, "I really have no use for this."
(From BastardJack) Then he turns to kick Hafkris, but is again beaten to it.
GameMaster says, "There's a strong smell of liquor, certainly, and an empty bottle in one of them"
BastardJack grins and holds out his hand.
CharlesAlgun takes the bottle, and hands it to Jack.
DiegoValdez says (to Federico), "Neither have I, padre."
Eolo looks back at the ship.
CharlesAlgun says, "A shard's as good as a knife to some, I hear."
BastardJack takes the bottle.
DiegoValdez asks, "Perhaps our equipment is stored somewhere on board?"
CharlesAlgun asks (of Federico), "May I see that?"
BastardJack says, "I was reaching for the knife, but thanks anyway."
Eolo says (to Diego), "that is my hope."
Federico says, "Of course."
Federico gives knife to Algun.
DiegoValdez says (to Eolo&Federico), "Then let us search it."
CharlesAlgun compares the two blades, and tosses his old one aside, keeping the knife taken from the slaver.
GameMaster says, "Also, nobody has bothered to examine the ship yet, but"
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "but?"
GameMaster says, "The galley had a single mast, which is now lying squarely on a hatch"
BastardJack taps Algun's shoulder. "Hold there."
CharlesAlgun asks (of Jack), "Ah?"
Eolo frowns.
[7thsea] ParserGirl has left the channel.
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Let the GM finish with the ship first, then I wanna talk about that knife."
DiegoValdez heads towards the ship.
GameMaster says, "It's a rowing type and there's spots where apparently slaves sat"
GameMaster says, "The aft section is the bit you haven't been in yet"
GameMaster says, "Also, now is where I must take my leave"
DiegoValdez heads towards the aft section of the ship.
[7thsea] Miseri exclaims, "Aw!"
GameMaster says, "Good job on the chains, there"
GameMaster says, "They are written up as having minimal damage but it didn't account for choking"
[7thsea] BastardJack asks, "Next week: are they castaways? Will they get back to civilisation?"
Federico heads back to search the ship.
Francesco asks, "This is a module, I take it?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "will one after another be voted off the island?"
GameMaster says, "Yeah, I'm adapting from another RPG"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yay"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Can they build a radio out of coconuts in the seventeenth century?"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "When's the next session?"
Francesco nods.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "good question"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "will that numbskull francesco keep breaking diego's inventions, ruining their chances?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Wednesdays are generally bad for me, unless we do them kinda late--CSz practice."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I'd rather do Tuesday"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "7thsea One last bit of RP with Charles before we go, after we do the scheduling stuff."
[7thsea] Francesco says (to eolo), "Hey! ;-)"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Anything's good for me."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How about Tuesday?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "tuesday is fine."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "this time ok?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "Tuesday would work."
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Tuesday's good."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sure"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I could do earlier if it's better for people"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Yay."
[7thsea] Federico says, "I prefer later, although I know that's hard for Easterners."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I'd like to take some time to run through a combat step by step, cause it got a little confused there."
[7thsea] Miseri asks, "But more than once a week, please?"
[7thsea] Francesco says, "It'll work even better once I get my modem working / get a new modem (sigh)."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "when else would you like to do?"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "Saturday?"
[7thsea] Alex says (to GameMaster), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Saturday is the day after Friday. Also, the day before Sunday."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "It's 12:30 here now, so not too much later. Except weekends."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "weekends are in general good for me, although this weekend I'll be away"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "inky's going to be away until Monday though, right?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "but i can tag along or whatever"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Saturday is fine."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Ditto what Eolo said."
[7thsea] BastardJack exclaims, "Wow! We got through the whole game without him yelling at us!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, I'm not sure about Saturday but I'll bb post if there's a problem"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "who yelling?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Alex."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to GM), "sounds good."
Ghogg disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
[7thsea] Miseri says, "I think online games require at least twice the length/frequency of tabletop games ... they run slightly slower."
Eolo says, "hmm"
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yeah"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "yes"
Sargent disappears.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Should we finish the knife bit Jack wanted to take care of?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Yeah"
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, once we get experience it might go farther"
BastardJack taps Charles on the shoulder. "Hold there."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Jack), "The GM's not in the room."
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, if you want to RP on the beach more fine, just don't enter the ship yet :-)"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Yes?"
BastardJack says, "That'd be my knife ye've got there. You've got one."
CharlesAlgun nods, "Certainly, that's fair."
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "tell me who got what item when I get back, I really need to go"
[7thsea] BastardJack says (to Charles), "That's ok. This is strictly internal."
CharlesAlgun trades, handing Jack the new knife, and taking back his old one.
[7thsea] Miseri says, "I think introductions are in order as we stroll shipwards."
BastardJack grins. "Glad you see it that way."
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Ok. So it wasn't much, but it was important to me..."
(From BastardJack) The newly-formed alliance strolls towards the ship, introducing themselves as they go.
CharlesAlgun says, "I imagine we'll find plenty of weapons for all of us aboard ship before the night's over anyway."
Eolo says, "let us hope."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Hee. Vaticine prejudices."
Eolo says, "hrm"
(From BastardJack) And marvelling at the fact that they all managed to pick the one tongue which they had in common with their first words.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hee."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Um. *Does* everyone share a language?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "I'll edit that transcript a bit and post the URL on the bb tomorrow."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "montaign?"
[7thsea] Miseri says, "Montaigne, Castillian, Thean."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Federico, Francesco), "Do you both speak Montaigne?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Most of us have Montaigne, and I'm pretty sure we made that known to the later joiners."
[7thsea] Francesco asks, "Does everyone speak castillian?"
[7thsea] BastardJack says, "Not me."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Jack doesn't."
[7thsea] Francesco makes a #castillian channel and doesn't let jack join.
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
[7thsea] BastardJack just for that, I'm taking my Knife and going home...
[7thsea] BastardJack waves.
