[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8107593, member: 59816"] Okay, we're gonna have an encounter! But there's a few things I need to figure out first (I'll go over my thoughts "live" here) 1) The Gray Seagull has 1 Captain (he doubles as master), 3 Officers, 4 guards, & 12 Crew (normally 15; always a bit shorthanded; no one likes this run!) and was ferrying 8 prisoners and 4 guests. a) At the time of the attack, the captain and clergyman (npc accolyte of Waukeen, not a PC cleric) were right in the middle of the ship on the lower deck, sanding over/under the open hatch. b) The mate was on the main deck, organising 2 crew at the ship's crane. 2 more crew were offloading by the ramp. 2 were in the hold, 2 on the lower deck, 2 on the dock. c) The bosun was by the lift, having just closed the door, with 1 crewman. d) That leaves 1 crewman and the 4 guards. The crewman was sick, and the new Doc took him up with the first load (as well as himself and his 2 servants) e) 2 guards are with the prisoners in the hold (totalling 4 guards in the hold, see below) and 2 are on the dock with the fire-barrel. f) 5 prisoners (including Thorbin) are in the aft hold (prison); 3 (including Jathlin) are in the mid-hold. g) that leaves only the last guest, which is Lex, who's on the lift. 2) The prison sent 12 Guards & 6 prisoners outside, all told, to help the offload. Kriv did not go. (Plus Razum). & Doc Halfhand showed up on his own. a) 3 guards and 2 prisoners are working the lift's wheel. b) 4 guards are watching over the affair from the cliff, with crossbows. Also wind and rain in their faces. c) 2 guards accompanied Razum to the hold to secure the prisoners with manacles. d) 4 prisoners are working the docks (that's Valrin, Burton, and Py'Cott, and 1 NPC) e) 2 guards are at the fire-barrel (on the dock) f) Razum is in the hold, and Doc Halfhand is on the doc. g) That leaves 1 guard, who's on the main deck, inspecting cargo for contraband (poorly) I think that makes 49 people in this encounter. Before bad guys. I'm insane. (Obviously I'm not going to run everyone individually, or I really WOULD be insane.) (I will return with more to discuss in a bit!) [/QUOTE]
