[5e] Spell & Crossbones

[Fenris]

Ok, I think I am set with spells:

Spell book:
C: Firebolt,, Light, Mending, Prestidigitation
1st: Chromatic Orb, Detect Magic, Featherfall, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Sleep, Unseen servant, Witch Bolt,
2nd: Arcane Lock, Gust of Wind, Invisibility, Scorching Ray

Now I just need to steal, ok or buy, a diamond as a component.

To interject: Hugo Van Hann (@Malvados) has the Quartermaster well covered and it dovetails nicely with being Cook. First Mate or Sailing Master (sometimes called Master of Sail, or just Master) would suit Gentleman Jim better IMHO.

Aeeiiiiii! Not trying to step on toes, I honestly forgot Mal already had that spot. I'll go with your advice...

And [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION] has the right of determining shares; each ship arrived at their own contract. And from what I've read, something like 8 shares was almost unheard of except in a few exceptional cases. Which yours could certainly qualify for...for example, most pirate ships wouldn't need to invest in diviners to locate sunken treasure, heavy diving bells, scrolls of underwater breathing, writs of safe passage thru Merfolk realms, etc. I'll leave it to you all to negotiate as you see fit, however.

We'll negotiate. Don't worry, Kat's got boobs. Pretty ones

LOL! In the middle of the Pacific

Okay, where IN Hawaii are you located smartass? lol

You know, my preference is to eschew any leader-ship on the ship-ship. I can leave the quartermaster role and just be a cook, I'm happy with that as it's more fitting with Hugo's personality.

...like I said above... whoops. I didn't mean to be taking away your role! mi scusi, il mio cattivo!

And sure, I'll be your FB buddy. You'll have to suffer my bad jokes and kid pictures.

I love bad jokes and kid pictures. Let's be friends!

Also, Hugo is drinking the brandy because he has terrible impulse control, he saw Old Zef do it, and brashly feels like the deal is already done anyway.

Hugo's a complicated character with several vectors and decisions that all end up with him consuming something he probably shouldn't.

Why do I sense a recurring theme being born?

Shouldn't be hard for a pirate! Oh, I should mention that diamond trade is probably a bit more tightly controlled due to diamonds use for various spell components. Well, "tightly controlled" for the early 18th century

Also, here's my attempt at a homebrew cantrip which you can take or leave. If you do like it, I could use another set of eyes making sure the "grappling on a fall" bit isn't overpowered.

Ghost Rigging
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action, or 1 reaction taken when you or a creature within 30 of you falls
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (Ship's rigging or an equivalent large amount of rope or line)
Duration: Instantaneous

You conjure a long length of rope to lash out at your command toward a creature or object in range. If the target is unwilling, make a melee spell attack. If the attack hits, and the target is Large or smaller, slide the target 15 feet in any direction.

In addition, you may cast this spell as a reaction when a creature within 30 feet of you falls. If they are unwilling, roll attack as above. If the attack hits or they are willing, the creature either falls safely to the ground (or Ship's deck) taking no damage or they are left hanging from the rope wrapped about a limb. A creature left hanging from rope is grappled and must cut itself free (falling 10 feet), make a check to escape a grapple as if you were holding them, or be freed by another.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Believe it or not I've had people legitimately ask me that. I'm outside of Honolulu on Oahu.

Heh. I live on an Island too and people ask me all the time where it is, so I actually do get it.

Also, the NPC Badouin is basically designated as the Ship's Purser (accountant), which is a bit redundant with Quartermaster and that's ok. He's meant to ensure du Tourbillon's interests are represented and keep the accounts honest & accurate. He's also a way for me to interject bits of information about costs/prices as DM and other things of that nature. So, if someone wants to be Quartermaster, great! If not, you can always turn the role over to the NPC Badouin (albeit stripped of inheriting captaincy).

Yeah, I think I'll just stick with cook if that's okay with everyone else. I'll change my rotation later today.

Can anyone aside from Katerina actually navigate and sail the ship? I haven't looked at everyone's final(ish) sheets yet. I think Unsung is the only one to have also posted in the Rogue's Gallery.

Fine by moi if that is what you want to do. I hope you didn't think I was kicking you out of Quartermaster though... I just have a really bad memory!!!!

Barrington can.

Anyone with the Sailor background can (tool proficiencies navigator's tools and vehicles (water)), so that's Old Zef and Mr Teague, too.
