The pump crank turns easily, and after a few turns water can be heard gushing through the pipes. Atella pulls out his leather case of thieves' tools, but the pump itself has no latch or lock to pick open and none of the tools are hefty enough to break open the barrel of the pump. A quick...

An oddity of life or death struggles... In the midst of battle mere seconds seem to stretch on into days and even weeks, allowing the combatants ample time to ponder the possible outcomes and dire consquences of the bloody contest.

The wooden staves of the pumps barrel are damp and mildewed. The metal bands and rivets are tarnished and rusty. The hand crank has been well greased, however, to keep it turning smoothly. There's no obvious way into the interior of the pump, but the proper tools could easily pry off the lid...

OOC: Oo! D'Artagnon fails his Profession (sailor) check... Leeward means toward the 'protected' side. Usually, protected from the wind. So, leeward essentially means the downwind side. Which we'll aribitrarily decide is the port side of the ship tonight. Amidships, D'Artagnon and Atella...

Can you send me a .jpg or .gif of what you've got so far?... A place holder for the proto-website?

Gnomes have several... Though they're hardly worth learning... :p

The hold is cluttered with crates, barrels, cargo nets, and othe sundry bits of the maritime trade. A handful of rats retreat before the illumination of the torch. A clear aisle runs fore and aft into the darkness. A series of wooden gratings serve as the flooring for the aisle.

My first suggestion would be to change the Will save required for the Observation ability to a Knowledge check of some sort... Perhaps Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (nature). That way, the ability is based on the intelligence ability and well placed skill ranks (*AHEM*, "learning" ;) )...

A narrow stair that is almost steep enough to be called a ladder leads below decks into the ship's hold. It's very dark down there.

The lock is stiff with age and rust, but with his toughest lockpicks and a thick file, Atella eventually manages pop the lock open. Unfortunately, the lock will probably never close again, and it is painfully obvious that the lock has been forced open.

It might help to have a post by the Judge account that has the list, so that we can just edit it, rather than reposting continually. I also think that it's a good idea for the Proposees to ask for approvals when their proposal is ready.

OOC: Essentially, yes. The thugs must have been in a hurry, for you still carry all your gear, though it is mostly soaked through. The way the ropes had been tied and tangled almost randomly about their bodies would have make it look like an unfortunate accident with a coil of rope and a...

Yep... Both Phyrah and Mogrel are slight variations on Farlaughn. Done.

Jack rushes in beside Lady Fant and Quickwhip to hack away at the construct's knees with his newfound sword... Perhaps he can distract the monster long enough for Fant or quickwhip to get in a killing blow. After all, the quicker they can dispatch this animated monstrosity, the sooner they can...

A rough draft using my little sneak PrC as a test to try out a basic style for the webpage. Tell me what you guys think.

With sunset, the air is cooling off, and only a light breeze blows through. Still, its enough to send the two swimmers into shivers. There are no blankets or anything simialr on deck, and the locks to the two doors and two hatches are still firmly locked.

No, I'm just following the lead of Lady Fant at this point... who appears to be heading for the guardpost.

Ooo... I kind of like that. How about something like... DOOM DOMAIN Granted Power: You gain the power of ill fortune, which is usable once per day. This extraordinary ability allows you to force another character or NPC to reroll one roll that he has just made before the DM declares whether...

I working on setting up a simple LEW website that should take care of a great deal of the sticky threads... FAQs, chracter creation guidelines, approved materials, etc... The only things that will be left out are those things that players should be able to edit: Character Stats, Who's Where...

Fine by me. In the mean time, I'll start formatting the proposals for html... Shouldn't be too tough to cut and paste bit and pieces in as they get approved.
