Storming the Ship

Mallak · Nov 28, 2005

[sblock=OOC]Ok guys, here's our thread. I'll get something gameplay wise up soon.[/sblock]

Jdvn1 · Nov 28, 2005

Aww, I wanted to start the thread so I could name it "Malach-I, you, us."

By the way, to all of those of you reading this--don't! Well, this may contain information in one of your PbP games that you aren't meant to know.

Wakil

Hello all

Jdvn1 · Nov 28, 2005

By the way...

Crunch:
The Favored Soul is more of a buffing/fighting type class, so don't expect me to be a massive healer or a powerful caster (although I will have ranks in Heal). I probably won't be as good at fighting as Wakil, but I should be able to hold my own. I'm going to look at what class combinations are feasible, if any. I do think Wakil should consider Templar (from Complete Divine), as it could fit him very well. The Ride/Mounted direction (most ideal with Cavalier from Complete Warrior) doesn't fit well with boats, I think.

Color:
Malachi will present himself as a fighter who gets lucky--he doesn't yet realize he has a way with magic. Since magic is so rare in the world, it just doesn't come to mind. He just figures he's special somehow. Watch out for a low Wisdom score on him. When he encounters the ship, he'll run to help. If Wakil goes slower than he does, he'll slow to accomodate him. They've been through a lot together, he's not going to leave him now.

If you want to play through the battle in the home, I'm up for that too.

EDIT:
I just wanted to confirm the items we have:
1 tinderbox, some rope (50 ft), two daggers, one boot knife & sheath, one common longsword, one crossbow, 10 bolts, one shortbow, 20 arrows, one Sword of Adonai, one Shield of Adonai, the clothes on your backs. And a hatchet.

No armor, and one shield between the two of us? Just making sure.

And would Wakil prefer the crossbow or the shortbow? (I'm thinking the shortbow, but I'm checking just in case) What else do you want to carry?

EDIT 2: Oh, do we still get the 1st level money--as in, it'd be in addition to this stuff--or does this equipment replace 1st level money?

Appearance: Malachi is a man of average height, with striking features. He currently looks like he's been through a lot--because he has. He's fairly young, but his eyes have a new sparkle to him. This is, of course, in stark contrast to the rest of him. While he has a strong build, it supports some pretty shoddy clothes. His clothes look like they've been mended a few too many times. He has had some help from a nice old lady, recently, to make sure he's kept clean, but a deep stain covers a large part of his clothing. While it is all intact, it is also rather worn. He stays strong in mind and keeps an optimistic look on life, and people seem to love him for this.

Background: [sblock=Background]Malachi originally came from a relatively normal family. So he assumes. He didn't know them so well, as he lost contact with them at an early age, but he sees no reason why he shouldn't have come from a normal family. He spent some of his time on the streets, looking for work, when he decided to join a ship. The captain of his original boat put him to work as a deckmate, but he soon showed promise as a healer. Eventually, he became a ship's doctor and found a better job working on the Leviathan's Quarrel under Captain Delroy Konik.

Konik was a very up-and-coming sort of captain who was starting to get some very good deals. His acquisition of a ship doctor meant that he was planning on getting a new, larger, more impressive boat and crew. The crew he had already was well-trained and would serve as senior crew on the new ship. It was on this ship where Malachi met some very good sailors, including his current companion, Wakil. On the way home from a successful trip, a sudden storm came up, and there was nothing anyone could do to save the ship and its crew from the wrath of the sea.

The next time Malachi opened his eyes, he was on sand, timber all around him. He was one of the lucky ones--not many of the crew had survived. Wakil and Konik and two others were the only survivors. Konik had reasoned that they must have been somewhere on the mainland, since that was the closest land mass when the storm hit. So, the set upon travelling inland, trying to find civilization. The trek was long, and there was not enough fresh food or water for the five of them. Onwards they pushed, until their bodies could not handle another step. The world went black again.

This time, though, Malachi had a vision. It was a prince--a king--a deity--greater than any royalty. It was Adonai. During this tribulation, Adonai gave Malachi the strength to summon water and cleanse a carcass for food. Barely, only he and Wakil were able to survive the trek. Malachi still did not know all that Adonai was, but it would now be something he would actively seek and spread.

Eventually, Wakil and Malachi made it to an old lady's house, each of them stronger than when the journey first began, but still yearning for civilization. The lady took them in and took care of them, until hooligans came to attack. Wakil and Malachi easily fended them off, but were now needed to help others in need.[/sblock]
[sblock=Nimbus of Light]Nimbus of Light
Evocation [Light]
Clr 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Ranger: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min/level or until discharged (D)

A glittering corona of sunlight surrounds your body at a few inches distance--until you release it as a focusd blast of divine energy. The nimbus of light glows like a lantern, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 30 feet) from you.

As a move action, you can coalesce the energy from the nimbus of light around your outstretched arm, and then as a standard action fling it toward a foe within 30 feet. As a ranged touch attack, the nimbus of light deals 1d8 points of damage +1 per round that's elapsed since you cast the spell (max of 1d8 + caster level damage). Attacking with the nimbus of light ends the spell, whether the energy hits its target or not.[/sblock]

Wakil

Ok n/m this one

Cool, looks like we're about ready.

You can probaby use "Knowledge (Religion)" instead of "Knowledge (Adonism)."

Druke · Nov 28, 2005

I had all the stupid numbers lined up in the editing part how come they did not come out right here. Anyway, I assumed that I would get the bow, not sure why, but that sounds good to me. What eq. you want to carry. I will take the tinderbox and hatchet. If you want the rope and extra boot knife or we can switch could care less.

Jdvn1 · Nov 28, 2005

Well, you took out the space between the stat number and the modifier for Con, and you did the same thing for Cha. Looks like there's an inadvertent extra space after Will.

When you put in the Weapons, remember that the XXXX's only fill up 4 spaces. When you input the name of the weapons, you have make sure the rest stays lined up--so if you put in "Dagger" you have to take off 2 spaces because "Dagger" takes up 6 spaces. Looks like you didn't do the attack modifiers quite right there, anyway, because it shouldn't read +4+2.

The same sort of thing happened for skills.
