Radoon

The next morning, Radoon will grab some coffee and bread and grab the first crew member he sees and ask him to spread the word to meet on deck at 8:30

Gnurl Wiskerling

"One last thing, Miss Mingo, do not, I repeat, DO NOT let us forget to take the lantern with the silver flame that detects undead! I wanted to put it down for a moment, and I wound up leaving it behind last night."

Gnurl guesses that it's now about half an hour before dawn. "Time for more breakfast! 'Meet at 8:30?' Ahh, that gives me just enough time to down another pound of bacon, half a dozen eggs, and a medium-sized stack of flapjacks!"

When he completes his latest nosh, Gnurl will swing by his stateroom, collect Featherwind and all of his gear, and be to the meeting 15 to 20 minutes early.

Gnurl Whiskerling

"WHAAAT?? What do you mean only honeyed gruel for Gnomes with Bottomless Pits for stomachs??" :\ "Ohh, very well, then," and grabbing the biggest bowl he can find, "Fill 'er up, please, ma'am?"

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

Mingo awakes with a start the next morning early. Her dreams of Yondalla fresh in her mind. Mingo clears her mind and prays for her spells, including the new ones that Yondalla provided in her dream. If today brings even more undead, then she'll be ready. Mingo carefully considers all of the new spells but decides that Radoon's strategy would be harder if she chooses the spells that will cause her to glow with the light of good.

Mingo will put on her armor and review her weapons and equipment. She moves skiprocks to her pockets and her equipment to her haversack so she is still light, but ready for battle instead of adventuring.

Satisfied that she's ready, Mingo seeks out Anson and Mig, who turn out to be right outside her door waiting on her. Together they look for some breakfast. Passing a crewman, they learn that Radoon has called an 8:30am meeting on deck. Mingo & company will eat lightly and arrive on deck about 8:20am or so.

[sblock=Anson's Spells]
1. Longstrider; Resist Energy

[sblock=For Lou]Thought you might want to know you're putting an extra 'n' in Radoon's name - at first I thought it might be a typo, but as it's consistent . . .[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Marienna is leaning on a rail as if staring out to sea humming a tune, but with the fog she can't see more than a few feet. Terry leans on a water barrel drinking a mug of what appears to be small beer with a couple of raw eggs in it. The master of arms for the 'Bedsheet, a tough looking half-orc, a stout looking dwarf third mate, and the halfling master of sails Ableard (husband of the cook) are waiting as well.

OOC: Did anyone invite Geoffrey to the meeting?

 

[J. Alexander]

Resolution

For the DM
[sblock]Before setting out to the "Bedsheet" Geoffrey will leave instrucStions with Nathan and Caleb "Should things be worse than they appear I will send word "The Sun has set" when you receive that word you are to fire the entire compound and destroy anything that attempts to flee unless you can prove otherwise". Should you receive the messeage "The Sun is rising" you will know that we have penetrated the compound and are successful in our endeveaors. The messeage "The Sun is stalling" you will know that we are trapped and fighting for our lives, we will then give a location as to where we can be found or instructions that you are to redouble your efforts with a full fledged assault using all avaialbe resources and come to our aid"...any question gentlemen"[/sblock]

OCC: What day is this both actual day and date?

Gnurl Whiskerling

Gnurl and Featherwind are on deck looking supremely bored when Mingo, Anson, and Mig arrive. "Yawwwwn! You slept well, I trust? Do either of you know the proper method for signals between ships? We should signal Captain Geofffrey."



OOC: Just out of curiosity, I'm noticing that most, if not all, of the other spellcasters are listing memorized spells in the IC thread. I've always done this on my character sheet in the rogues' gallery thread, where I can mark them with a "U" when they are cast. That way, I don't forget and cast the same spell twice. Just curious as to what the most accepted practice is for this?

Mingo Frasse & Anson & Mig

Gnurl and Featherwind are on deck looking supremely bored when Mingo, Anson, and Mig arrive. "Yawwwwn! You slept well, I trust? Do either of you know the proper method for signals between ships? We should signal Captain Geofffrey."

Anson shakes his head as he appears to be barely keeping his feet as the ship moves ever so slightly. Mingo replies, "Yes, under normal conditions, but not in this soup." Mig will run over and sniff Gnurl to see if more treats are forthcoming.

OOC: You're ahead of me on where to post spells. I've been putting them IC because what can be cast is on the same level as currect HP and AC. I think I like the spoiler block labelled "Current Combat Status" the best, but I haven't been using it. Perhaps I should start.

Anson shakes his head as he appears to be barely keeping his feet as the ship moves ever so slightly. Mingo replies, "Yes, under normal conditions, but not in this soup." Mig will run over and sniff Gnurl to see if more treats are forthcoming.

Gnurl grins as Mig snifs first his feet, and then his pockets. "Ahh! What have you found, Mig?" he says reaching in his pocket and pulling out a rather large strip of bacon that he stole from under the Galley Mistress's nose. "Here, Mig, tell ya what, I'll split my snack with you! So saying, Gnurl tears the bacon in half. Mig very gently opens her mouth and gingerly takes her half of the bacon from Gnurl's hand.

Sorry, did you mean that you sleep well under normal circumstances, or that you know how to signal a ship under normal circumstances? Because I'm sure there are signal lanterns nearby."

ooc: I had it with Mig as female at first, but decided that must be wrong. duhhh.
