Wizard of the Coat

Yeah. Quechua. It's the language Huttese (in Star Wars) is based on. I like the sound of it, and imagine it being spoken by a dragon with a heavy-bass voice (like Jaba). I lived in the altiplano for a couple of years and picked up a basic fluency. Google Translate uses Spanish for any words for which there is no Quechua equivalent. So Translate isn't a perfect solution.

Apologies for the delay. This is my busiest time of the year--end of semester grading. And I had some rules/procedure questions which meant that it was easier to post in other games (where I'm familiar with the rules). I didn't realize it's been, like, two weeks now. So here's my question. I think I want to do a "Face Danger" move, which would involve Ari (and the NPC) lowering the anchor to the right depth without falling overboard. Does that sound like a Face Danger move? Or is there some better way to express the move in relation to the narrative (the need to lower the anchor)?

Ragz When Aly left the campfire and the quartered hares, Ragz surreptitiously passed one of the quarters to the stray black dog. The dog made short work of the meat before returning to stare expectantly at the little kobold. Ragz tended to the fire and kept a look out for insects or small predators that might be attracted to the raw meat. He was pleased to see Torben speaking with the gnome and Aly. The travelers had broken up into smaller groups, conversing, working. He did not see himself as one of them. And yet, their ability to cooperate and their interest in each other gave him some semblance of comfort. Perhaps he did not belong with such as they, but it felt right to be here, with them. It felt right to be on this path with them. And that was enough for the little kobold. In that moment of understanding, his gaze fell upon the dog. Like a gentle caress, he felt and understood something he had known for some time--but had refused to acknowledge. The stray black dog belonged with him on this path. On their path. With that realization, many things fell into place. The dog was no longer a stray. And the dog was more than a work beast. Much more. The dog was a warrior, a scout, a comrade. A friend. The dog was part of the warren. And of age for a name. Ragz looked to the stray black dog with new eyes. Naturally, the stray black dog held his gaze with uncanny attention. She was, after all, waiting for the next quarter of hare. "It is time a stray black dog had a name," he rumbled softly. The black dog cocked her head and gave a wag of her tail. "A fine name. A name suitable for such a fine black dog." The black dog vocalized her eager anticipation with a low grumble of excitement, her tale swishing back and forth. Ragz considered names for the dog. He felt strongly that she should have a name in the language of the Great Progenitor, for some day he would likely take her home to his clan. Settling on his choice he felt the rightness of it. Softly, he spoke the words of naming, in the language of his people. "Kunan p’unchaymanta pacha, chawpipi Chirunkuna Hatun Nyawpaq Mach’aqway, chay allquta tarisqa Apu Chirunkuna Ragzech Chochik, Yantu hinam riqsisqa kanqa.In the Kobold dialecft of Draconic: "From this day forward, among the Children of the Great Progenitor Dragon, the dog that was found by Chieftain of the Children Ragzech Chochlik shall be known as Shadow"" Yantu offered a single bark of excited acceptance. "Yantu," the kobold repeated, liking the sound of it. The dog did a half jump, her two front paws coming off the ground, her tail swishing excitedly. She looked to the hares, again vocalizing anticipation with an excited grumble-whine. "Yes, Yantu, this is cause for celebration!" Ragz replied, matching her tone and volume. He scooped up one of the remaining hare quarters and gave it to the dog. She ate ravenously, wagging her tail. He fed her another quarter and her enthusiasm did not wane. He continued until no quarters remained, patting the mastiff excitedly as she wolfed down the hare meat, repeating her name, "Allin, Yantu. Allin Yantu.In the Kobold dialect of Draconic: "Good Shadow. Good Shadow.""

Nina strummed soft chords as Kessra asserted her dominance and spoke her demands. The gang leader seemed a blunt instrument. As she postured, it became clear to Nina that Kessra was not a businesswoman or a negotiator. She seemed a brute who most likely respected strength and nothing else. Back in the cantina, Nina had already determined that it would be a mistake to show weakness or fear. But now Nina saw just how blunt an instrument the scarred woman truly was. Kessra could not exist independently. Kessra was a wild dog on a leash. Some more powerful player held that leash. Nina had come outside, exposing herself as the prime target to a biker gang, in the hopes of maneuvering Kessra to reveal the power that held her leash. That individual would be driven by profit and thus open to negotiation. If Nina could get to the leash holder, she'd be able to work her magic. But now, as Kessra concluded her ridiculous demand, it became clear that the biker woman hoped for a violent confrontation more than she hoped for the credits. Nina realized she'd need to show some of her cards, and take some risks, if she was going to avoid violence--or at least, delay the violence until she had obtained the information she desired. Given there was a Hutt on the planet making a move for control of the criminal underworld, it was reasonable to conclude that Kessra's leash was held by Darga, and if not Darga then the local criminal leader or Imperial-officer-on-the-take he hoped to supplant. If Kessra turned out to be in the Hutt's employ, it would be disastrous to take her out. But if the bikers were the Hutt's enemies, taking them out might be equally disastrous. Organized crime often involved delicate truces among precariously balanced powers--a house of cards ready to collapse into brutal gangland killings and reprisals. Very bad for business. And hutts didn't like anything that was bad for business. She'd not intended to start with talk of Darga, but the twi'lek saw no better option. Still strumming soft chords, Nina let out a low whistle, holding Kessra's gaze. "A thousand credits? That's a sweet racket, Kessra. What's your percentage of the take?" Looking the disfigured woman up and down, she added, "Or are you merely master Darga's tax collector?" She slipped in the master hoping Kessra would be smart enough to at least understand the implication. Hutts liked to be referred to with honorifics. His excellency, Darga. The illustrious Darga. They loved being schmoozed. But master Darga? Only a servant or employee would refer to Darga in such a way.

Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price. One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs. Weapon Type: Simple Weapons (Melee) Size: Small Cost: 100 Damage: 2d4 Stun Setting: YES Weight: 1 Kilogram Type: Bludgeoning (2d4+1 bludgeoning) Ranged +4 Chuq-chukSLUGTHROWER RIFLE Rate of Fire:[/B] Single-Shot, Autofire RANGE w/Range Finder: 0-30 PB -0; 31-60 S 0; 61-150 M -5; 151-300 L -10 w/Targeting Scope (Aim): 0-30 PB -0; 31-60 S 0; 61-150 M -2; 151-300 L -5 w/Range Finder & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-30 PB -0; 31-60 S -0 w/Folded Stock & Range Finder: 0-20 PB -0; 21-40 S -0; 41-60 M -5; 61-80 L -10 w/Folded Stock & Targeting Scope (Aim): 0-20 PB -0; 21-40 S -0; 41-60 M -2; 61-80 L -5 w/Folded Stock, Range Finder, & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-20 PB -0; 21-40 S -0 RETRACTABLE STOCK 1. Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action. 2. When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply: >Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range. >You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon. 3. When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply: >Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range. >You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (Regardless of its size relative to you). BIPOD 1. A bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire. 2. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again. 3. A Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target. TARGETING SCOPE 1. A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target. RANGEFINDER 1. Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it... takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.) FLASH SUPPRESSOR/SILENCER 1. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower. 2. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments. (2d12+2 piercing), +4 Saturday Night Special (3d6+2 piercing) Equipment All-Temperature OutfitA refluffed All-Temperature Cloak. Weight: 1.5 Kilograms This wrap-around cloak protects its wearer from the elements, providing +5 Equipment bonus to its wearer's Fortitude Defense against extreme heat or cold. (worn): zippered all-temperature low-cut t-shirt, all-temperature stretch pants, all-temperature crop jacket with hood in large zippered collar, all-temperature stretch neck gaiter (in jacket pocket), all-temperature gloves, all-temperature hiking boots, polarized sunglasses (in jacket pocket) Camouflage PonchoWeight: 1.5 Kilograms The Camouflage Poncho is worn over Armor to conceal the wearer from being spotted. Special materials track the surrounding area and alter the pattern of the Camouflage Poncho, smoothing and blending the wearer's silhouette. Typical examples include the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles Camouflage Poncho. A Camouflage Poncho grants a +5 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks. [Female Twi'lek] Earbud ComlinkThe Earbud Comlink is a tiny Comlink fitted for the wearer's ear, allowing unobtrusive private communication for anyone needing to be discreet- ambassadors, card cheats, and spies, for example. The Earbud Comlink's size, shape, and color give the wearer a +5 Equipment bonus to Deception checks for the purpose of hiding its presence. The Earbud Comlink can be programmed to initiate or receive a transmission when the wearer touches his or her ear or even clicks or grinds his or her teeth. Because of its minute size, the Earbud Comlink has the same range as a Comlink (Short-Range)- 50 kilometers or low orbit. (concealed in ear: DC 33 Perception check to spot) Hypoinjector WristbandWeight: 0.1 Kilograms An inconspicuous metal band, the Hypoinjector Wristband can help a wearer avoid succumbing to the effects of Poisons and other harmful chemicals. The refillable wristband stores up to 8 doses of vaccines, antidotes, or other medication. In addition to the Hypoinjector, the Wristband also houses a bioscanner that continually scans the wearer for any foreign chemicals that the device can counteract. When a harmful substance is detected, the Hypoinjector administers the appropriate drug. Refilling the Wristband requires a Standard Action per dose or 4 rounds for the entire set. The device runs on two Energy Cells that must be replaced after 5 days of constant use. (worn) Miniatureized Survival KnifeA small hand-held Weapon with a sturdy blade, the Survival Knife can be used as both a tool and a weapon, making it popular with explorers and survivalists alike. It is frequently issued to pilots in military units in the event they are shot down and survive their Vehicles' destruction. The handle is hollowed out to allow storage of very small items, typically rudimentary Survival Gear such as a Fire Rod, a short length of binding wire, or an Energy Cell. A character who has a Survival Knife can always determine which way is north thanks to the built-in digital compass. Weapon Type: Simple Weapons (Melee) Size: Tiny Cost: 100 (+500 for miniaturization) Damage: 1d4 Weight: .7 Kilograms Type: Slashing Special: Can be Thrown (Inaccurate; Cannot be Thrown at targets at Long Range) (sheathed on thigh) Fire PasteWeight: 0.1 Kilograms Fire Paste is a thick beige substance that can act as a fuel for starting a fire. The paste, once squeezed from its tube, can be placed on virtually any surface, including ice and wet wood. With a single spark, the paste ignites, burning for 3d4 minutes. If applied to a living creature or an object, the burning paste causes 1d6 points of Fire damage as long as it burns and remains in contact with the creature or object. A single squeeze tube contains 5 applications of Fire Paste. (in miniaturized survival knife hilt) Hip HolsterWeight: 0.5 kg Holsters are generally available for all Medium or smaller weapons. (Larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps, hangers, or baldrics that cost as much as a Hip Holster.). Hip Holster: This Holster holds the weapon in an easily accessed- and easily seen- location. (concealed in field kit pack) Chuq-ChukSLUGTHROWER RIFLE A Slugthrower Rifle is the larger cousin of the Slugthrower Pistol. It doesn't need a Power Pack; instead, it takes clips containing "Slugs," with each clip holding 20 Slugs. Clips cost 40 credits and, weigh 0.2 kg. Weapon Type: Rifles Size: Medium Cost: 300 Damage: 2d8 Stun Setting: NO Rate of Fire: Single-Shot, Autofire Weight: 4 Kilograms Type: Piercing Availability: Restricted RANGE MODIFIERS w/Range Finder: 0-30 PB 0; 31-60 S 0; 61-150 M -5; 151-300 L -10 w/Targeting Scope (Aim): 0-30 PB 0; 31-60 S 0; 61-150 M -2; 151-300 L -5 w/Range Finder & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-30 PB 0; 31-60 S 0 w/Folded Stock & Range Finder: 0-20 PB 0; 21-40 S 0; 41-60 M -5; 61-80 L -10 w/Folded Stock & Targeting Scope (Aim): 0-20 PB 0; 21-40 S 0; 41-60 M -2; 61-80 L -5 w/Folded Stock, Range Finder & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-20 PB 0; 21-40 S 0 (concealed in musical instrument case) Retractable StockUpgrade Point Cost: 0 or 1 (See below) Availability: Common Any Rifle or Pistol (as well as Rifle- or Pistol-like Exotic Weapons (Ranged)) can have a Retractable Stock added. This Upgrade requires 1 Upgrade Slot for a Pistol, but 0 Upgrade Slots for a Rifle. (A Rifle already has a stock, which can be replaced with the Retractable Stock.) Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action. When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply: 1. Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range. 2. You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon. When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply: 1. Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range. 2. You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (regardless of its size relative to you). BipodUpgrade Point Cost: 0 Availability: Common A Bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again. A Bipod counts as a mount for any Weapon that requires it (such as a Heavy Repeating Blaster or an E-Web Repeating Blaster). For other Weapons, a Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. (Under these circumstances, a character with the Sniping Master Talent can Aim as a Free Action once per round.) This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target. A Bipod adds 20% to the weight of the Weapon (minimum 1 kilogram). RangefinderUpgrade Point Cost: 1 Availability: Licensed Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it. Such a Weapon takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. Thus, a Blaster Pistol with a Rangefinder Upgrade takes no Range penalty on attacks against targets up to 40 squares away. This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.) Targeting ScopeUpgrade Point Cost: 0 A Targeting Scope is a sighting device that makes it easier to hit distant targets. However, it affords a very limited field of view, making it difficult to use. Installing a Targeting Scope on a rifle or pistol requires 10 minutes, and a DC 10 Mechanics check. Standard: A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target. Concealed Shoulder HolsterConcealed Holster: A Concealed Holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight. On most cases, this is a Shoulder Holster (the weapon fits under the wearer's armpit, presumably beneath a jacket, vest, or cloak). Small or Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can be carried in concealed waistband holsters (often placed inside the wearer's waistband in the small of the back). Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can also be carried on ankle, boot, or wrist Holsters. A Concealed Holster allows you to draw a Concealed weapon as a Move Action, instead of a Standard Action, but you take a -5 penalty on your Stealth check to conceal the weapon. Saturday Night SpecialMINIATURIZED SLUGTHROWER PISTOL A Slugthrower Pistol fires metal bullets -called "slugs"- instead of energy bolts. Slugthrowers are mostly found on backwater fringe worlds where blasters aren't readily available. They don't need Power Packs; instead, they employ clips that hold 10 slugs apiece. Clips cost 20 credits, and weigh 0.1 kg. Weapon Type: Pistols Size: Tiny Cost: 250 Damage: 2d6 Stun Setting: NO Rate of Fire: Single-Shot Weight: .7 Kilograms Type: Piercing Availability: Licensed (DC 23 Perception check to spot) Cotsum Synth-Leather Utility BeltWeight: 4 Kilograms A Utility Belt has 10 pouches containing a standard array of items. Each pouch can carry 0.5 kg. Pocket 1: Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt. Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price. One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs. Weapon Type: Simple Weapons (Melee) Size: Small Cost: 100 Damage: 2d4 Stun Setting: YES Weight: 1 Kilogram Type: Bludgeoning Pocket 2: Flash Suppressor/SilencerUpgrade Point Cost: 0 Weight: 0.2 Kilograms Availability: Common The Merr-Sonn Nonsonic is a typical example of a Flash Suppressor/Silencer. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments., MedisensorWeight: 0.1 Kilograms Sweeping this small, handheld sensor over the subject's body produces a summary of the patient's vital signs. An MDS-50 Medisensor can be used as a Swift Action on an adjacent creature or character, providing the user with the target's current hit points, its place on the Condition Track, and the presence of (but no specifics on) Diseases, Poison, or Radiation exposure., Recording Unit: Audio & Video Pocket 3: Half a roll of Mesh TapeWeight: 0.5 Kilograms (half a roll = 0.25) The usefulness of Mesh Tape is limited only by a character's imagination. Mesh Tape adhesive has a Strength score of 15, and can support up to 90 kg indefinitely (And up to 180 kg for up to 5 rounds). Mesh Tape itself has a Strength score of 20 when used to bind another character, and requires a DC 20 Strength check to break. A roll provides 30 meters (20 squares) of Mesh Tape, that is 5 centimeters wide. (half a roll is 15 meters or 10 squares), , Liquid Cable DispenserWeight: 0.2 Kilograms Cable Dispensers contain a special liquid that instantly solidifies upon contact with either atmosphere or vacuum to form a tough, lightweight, flexible cable. The dispenser contains enough liquid for 15 meters (10 squares) of cable, and is refillable at authorized outlets. The cable has a Strength score of 28, can safely support up to 560 kg, and it can be broken with a DC 24 Strength check. Pocket 4: Ammo Clip (20 rounds), Ammo Clip (20 stun rounds), Ammo Clip (10 rounds) Pocket 5: makeup kit, hygiene kit, perfume Pocket 6: Ration Pack x3, Personal MultitoolWeight: 0.2 Kilograms People who explore the untamed wilderness need many Tools. In most cases, full-sized Tools can be unwieldy, especially when cargo space is a limited commodity. The Personal Multitool is a low-tech device that holds miniature versions of several simple Tools that can be useful in the wilderness. Although the arrangement of the implements can vary, the standard Personal Multitool configuration for beings of Medium size includes a 5-cm vibroblade, a low-power hydrospanner, a small hydrogrip, a toothpick, and a miniature set of eating utensils. These Tools are stored within the 6-cm handle and each fold out on a hinge. The vibroblade, hydrospanner, and hydrogrip are all powered by a single Energy Cell that must be replaced after 50 hours of constant use. The vibroblade can be used as a melee weapon that deals 1d4 points of damage. Pocket 7: MedpacWeight: 1 Kilograms Medpacs are compact packages designed to both equip a trained medic for work in the field and allow untrained individuals to apply First Aid in emergencies. A Medpac contains bandages, Bacta, synthetic flesh, coagulants, stimulants, and other medicines designed to help an injured patient recover quickly. Once you use a Medpac, its contents are expended even if your Treat Injury check is not successful. Any given creature can only benefit from the use of a Medpac once in a 24-hour period., Antitoxin PatchThis adhesive patch is applied near the stomach (or similar organ, depending on the Species). It emits a low dose of antitoxin, giving the wearer a +10 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Ingested Poisons and a +5 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Inhaled Poisons. An Antitoxin Patch lasts for 24 hours. For each consecutive day that an Antitoxin Patch is worn, the target moves -1 step on the Condition Track. Pocket 8: Flash CanisterTypically used in the combat training of Jedi apprentices, the R-9 Flash Canister is an explosive device that causes dozens of tiny shells within the canister to burst forth and then detonate, creating a blinding flash of white light and piercing sound. The Flash Canister has a 3-Square Burst radius, and like other Grenades it is designed to explode on contact after it is thrown, effectively causing the bright flash of light in the same round it is hurled. When you make an Area Attack with a Flash Canister, you make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the Grenade's Burst radius. Creatures hit take no damage, but all targets have Total Concealment against the creature until the start of the attacker's next turn. Blind creatures are immune to this effect. Weapon Type: Grenades Size: Tiny Cost: 100 Damage: - Weight: 0.5 Kilograms Type: Energy Availability: Restricted Special: This is an Area Attack Weapon. Pocket 9: Smoke GrenadeA Smoke Grenade produces a cloud obscuring fog that blocks sight. Smoke Grenades come in a variety of colors, making them useful as a signaling method to mark aerial attacks or call for evacuation. Smoke Grenades fill a 2-Square Burst radius with thick smoke that provides Concealment and creates a Smoke Hazard within the area. This cloud lasts for 10 rounds. Weapon Type: Grenades Size: Tiny Cost: 100 Weight: 0.5 Kilograms Availability: Restricted Special: This is an Area Attack Weapon.

Heh! Thanks for the laugh. I suppose my end of semester does seem to be leading to a spectacular fireball.

I suppose that speaks to how crazy my week has been and how sleep deprived I am. My apple watch tells me that I've averaged a little over five hours a night this month. I'll be so glad when this semester is over (just a couple more weeks!).

Oh, hey, and I was kinda waiting for a reply (or an "ignored the kobold" response) before posting again.

That's what I was worried about. Apologies to all for further delays. I've got a big faculty meeting that will run well past 5 and then I've got a long drive to pick up my wife at an airport. I doubt I'll get a post out today. I should be good to post tomorrow.

I need to check something before posting in the IC. Is Sirona back at the spaceport in the Banshee waiting for us or did she drop us off with plans to come back when we signal?

I thought D'Art was our early warning system. I smiled at the thought of Yopine watching the dog, and the dog watching the hare quarters, occasionally looking to Aly (or whoever is cooking) in anticipation of being fed.

FYI, Nina wears an earbud comlink and all the PCs have access to it (they know her comm channel or comm number or whatever).

Sorry to lose you, Alterangel. Hope your home situation improves.

Hades (and everyone else), I don't want Nina to come across like she's taking charge. Nor do I want to limit the other PCs' choices. I've tried to post IC details trying to make clear that she's not wanting to do that. So if those efforts are not working, let me know and we can retcon the scene or whatever.

Just wanted to double check that something. Red Knell is hiding from the guards on deck, not from Ms. Blueblood. I'm assuming Red and Blue can see each other because they don't have cover/concealment from each other in which to hide. Is that correct?

I think I'm good with the briefing scene with Racine. I don't have any more questions. Does anyone else have any questions for her? Moving forward, it looks like we need to purchase supplies from the black marketeer guy, and get advice from the Clockwork King. If the rest of you are ready to move on, let's let Billy know.

Wait... what? He revealed his true identity? Did this happen in a side conversation or in the main thread when Ragz was present (and I somehow missed it)?

For some strange reason, I thought we were in combat rounds, so I only posted one round worth of action. But after seeing your post, I realized my mistake--and that going to combat rounds so soon would only slow the game to a crawl. Consequently, I added a couple of additional sentences to my post, leaving Red Knell at the top of the foremast yard arm, in position to do her thing.

Ragz feels a sudden warm tingling sensation as Aly's disembodied controller thinks of him as a tank.

Ragz The black dog seemed to resist the glow of the campfire, her coat clinging to the deepening shadows. She looked to where Aly pointed as if she understood common, but then cocked her head at the human woman, confused. A moment later, she'd turned her attention back to the hares sitting her rump down and staring--a clear canine signal that she was waiting patiently to be fed without begging. Ragz made a rumble in his throat, perhaps the elderly kobold equivalent of ahem. "It seems to Ragz that a stray black dog only partakes of meat if the kill was... merciful. Even then, a dog avoids offal. A stray black dog is much trouble." Both kobold and mastiff remained at the cookfire, watching as Aly busied herself with the hares and the remainder of the food prep, Ragz offering to help in any way possible, the mastiff eyeing the hare quarters impatiently.

All in all, her dismal evening was looking to end on a high note. She had a smile on her face as she melted into shadow, disappearing from the dark waves at Mary Rose's prow, only to reappear a heartbeat later up above atop the gunwale. Of course, no one would see the smile, her face covered by the bandana, eyepatch and wide-brimmed hat. Red Knell immediately slinked down onto the deck of the forecastle, crouching well out of sight of the gambling guards seated below on the main deck. Quietly, she padded barefoot across the rain-slicked deck to a spot between the bowsprit brace and the anchor wheel--so as to be hidden should a patrol climb up to the forecastle. Satisfied with her concealed position, the redhead looked around her, fearful of possible familiars--rats, birds or other small creatures--spying on her, then turned her attention to the foremast and rigging, considering the best concealed climbing approach up to the yard. Given her ability to instantly move through shadows up to a distance of some ten paces, Knell's climbing approaches were not constrained by details such as easy reach or access points. The one-eye'd pirate again faded into shadows, appearing some thirty feet above in the rigging. With a combination of climbing and moving through shadows, she reached a position atop the yard where she could conceal herself from the gamblers below, but still survey the deck below.

Ragz Ragz returned from his nightly hunt with two hares draped over his shoulders, the black dog close on his heals. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the boiling pot, the meat cuts, the remains of the butchered gazelle. His shoulders drooped back down to their usual position. The black dog barrelled passed the kobold, suddenly at the campfire, sniffing about, tail wagging. She checked out Aly's boiling pot and meat cuts as if searching for a new toy. Then she moved to the butchered gazelle, still sniffing about. But her tail suddenly stopped wagging. She lifted her head and scanned the camp, sniffing, searching, not finding. Abandoning her search, she trotted back to the kobold, who had moved to the campfire. He held the two hares up for Aly's inspection. "Should Ragz let two hares ripen for a day or should a dog have them?"

On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn.

On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends. This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels.

Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8). | Mage HandConjuration cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. | MessageTransmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper wire) Duration: 1 round You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear. You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings. | Minor IllusionIllusion cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: S, M (a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. | PrestidigitationTransmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 hour This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: >You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. >You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. >You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. >You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. >You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. >You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Spells Disguise Self1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. | Find FamiliarCasting Time: 1 hour Range: 10 feet Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier) Duration: Instantaneous You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast. Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal. When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying. While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature. Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. | Mage Armor1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather) Duration: 8 hours You touch a willing creature who isn't wearing armor, and a protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. | Sleep1st-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 90 feet Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket) Duration: 1 minute This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected by this spell. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.
