LSO OOC Thread II

[Daos]

Finally hit page 50, so I decided to start with a new OOC thread.

I was wondering if Imrich's Blind-fight NWP might be helpful in detecting the presence of the feyr? The final paragraph says this:

Furthermore, this skill aids the character when dealing with invisible creatures, reducing the attack penalty to -2. However, it does not enable the character to discover invisible creatures; he has only a general idea of their location and cannot target them exactly.

This could be interpreted to mean that Imrich can sense that there's an invisible creature somewhere nearby, even though he can't pinpoint it to make an attack unless it attacks him first.

No, it specifically says 'it does not enable him to discover an invisible creature.' It's only useful if he already knows there is one present, like say if it attacked him.

[Rax]

Fair enough!

Kalana is the only person in the party who did not take the Reading/Writing proficiency.  Senllip, Johannas, Jaeron and Imrich can all read and write.

[GreyWolfVT]

Jaeron kinda needed reading/writing or else his backstory/hobby wouldn't work who can write history as they adventure and travel if they can't read or write real words? 

[Daos]

He could have just drawn pictures instead. 

[GreyWolfVT]

sure that would accurately portray history...like cave paintings..

"The plan was to settle things as peacefully as possible, but we did have permission to use violence if it was needed."

No, Aguru actually said multiple times not to use violence.

AGURU:  "But no violence, please."

AGURU: "I don't much care how you do it, but no killing or bloodshed at all, please."

AGURU: "...and again, I want to emphasize I want this solved without violence, if at all possible."

AGURU:  "Do what you have to, but try to avoid violence."

Speaking of coin, this is something the party should figure out now.  Normally, an adventuring party just divvies up any treasure found, equally.  But typically a ship's crew runs things different.  Money is pooled together, and used to pay for repairs, supplies and wages; usually this is all taken care of by whoever is the quartermaster.

However, you aren't required to follow that model.  You can split things evenly like normal, although that raises the question of who pays for things like repairs, supplies and crew wages.  You can do a mix, like maybe a specific percentage (20% or 50% or whatever) of all treasure acquired goes into a pool and the rest gets divided among the PCs.

Or maybe you can come up with something entirely different from any of those options.  I'll leave it up to you all to decide.

[GreyWolfVT]

We could say that the amount is divvied up but ad an additional share for the ship and crew or other costs or something of that nature.

[Rax]

I'd vote for a share scheme, with a common fund to maintain and improve our ship skimmed off the top. Basically give the ship two or more shares; perhaps even more if we're going to hire crew.

That's the general idea that I'm "onboard" for

[Rax]

Yeah, I realized I ended up pretty much quoting you.

[GreyWolfVT]

It does appear to be the best solution just a matter of figuring out how much of a cut do we want in the pool and what will the rest of us take? I know Jaeron and most of us owe Imrich for what he has paid for thus far. That is partly why Jaeron didn't take any coin.

[Bishgada]

In general I also agree with this method, but as far as I understand we barely made it to shore so it might be that in the current state of the shipp we need all the money for repairs.
I think we can get estimation of the costs to fix the ship and then see if something is left for share.

[Rax]

Bishgada makes a good point. We're going to need the ship, so we should probably concentrate on repairs first. Imrich can support the party's living costs for a while longer.
