[/Sblock][sblock=Adventure Rules]* I will use group initiatives, rolling them myself. So in combat you must post your actions within 48-72 hours of the players turn coming up. Unless stated by a character that their actions are to follow another character, they will be resolved in posted order. After that time, if there was no communication with the DM, I will NPC the MIA player and move on.

* Dice rollers can be Invisible Castle or http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/ on-line dice rollers for the players. The DM will use his own purple dice at home or an on-line random number generator.

* Please use the exact BBCode link Invis Castle provides. I want to see all the modifiers used. I also want the roll's description to show who is attacked as well. Just like this: Spiked Chain vs. Orc 4 (Kn Dev & -2/+4 PA) (1d20+11=12, 2d4+10=14) I do not want to take the extra time to click any extra links during my updates.

* Any absences for longer than 2-3 days should be communicated to the DM. If you do not post for a week or more without having informed the DM, he reserves the right to remove you from the adventure giving you your share of the XP and treasure earned as well as time XP and gp to the date of your last post

* If your character gets enough XP to level, generally you may do so immediately once combat is finished. Subject to DM approval if the timing is okay. Regardless the date of actual leveling will not change even if use of the new level is delayed in IC action.

* Leveling up mid-campaign: This grants the extra hp, but does not heal damage, and grants any additional spell slots, but not spells prepared. A caster capable of spontaneously casting could use these slots normally, a cleric could only use them for cure or inflict spells, a druid for summon nature's ally, etc. Prepared casters may prepare spells in these slots as if they had left the slots blank for the day, if they are able to do so. They can go through the appropriate spell preparation as if they had already rested if applicable.

* All characters need an appropriate character picture, head-shot preferably, for token on the tactical grids. Also a mini-stat spoiler block that includes a link to your character sheet will be required in every IC post.

* Game Mechanics should be placed in a sblock, leaving only IC content/narration & a character avatar in the meat of a post.

* Do not quote another person's IC content in your post narration.

* Tactical Grids will be using Ditzie, the players will be updating their movements themselves in combat and posting up the new URLs. Whenever you post IC, include the latest map even if your character did not move. This way everyone knows you are done with it. There is no limit to the number times we can update the map. Instead of editing a map link (unless you are the last post), please post a new link if you update again.[/sblock]

Chairman Maylor Jacobson of the Crusaders of the Raven sits at the table where he waits for you to come join him. Immediately a serving wench delivers a round tray with a pitcher of watered down ale and several mugs. She begins pouring them as you all sit down.

The bearded warrior looks serious, but he nods a greeting, "Good, you all are here. Well most of you at least."

"But I see you have recruited a few more. I hope you won't need them, but better you have strength in numbers at the start than wishing you had more later when you come up short... Ah, no offense Lem."

 

[soulnova]

"The more the merrier" Galandra nods at the rest of the party as she sits down. "I think we got our bases covered this time around"

"Do you have any new information we should be aware of? Did you have problems to find the ship?" she asks with a serious face.

Mika comes and lies between Galandra's feet and tries to get some rest.

Amien Thrus raises his arms over behind his head in a relaxed casual gesture, "I figured while we were on break I could do some asking around for some helpful hands. I'll be glad I did if things inevitably don't go our way."

Vincenzo looks to Maui, then to the group and back to the jungle warrior. "Hey, what does the king want to do?" indicating taniwah. His face has a strange determination in it.

"Te king wants to stretch te legs and sharpen te teeth. Too much sitting makes te king fat." Maui sits at the table, scrunches his lips and eyebrows, nodding his head in appreciation of the boss man's shiny armour. "Ka pai" he states. "Very nice."

~ The Dunn Wright Inn: 15 minutes to dusk ~

Chairman Maylor Jacobson nods, "Indeed, I did learn a few things with my checking."

"There is a ship called The Prancing Prince pier-side in the harbor. It is tri-masted galleon used to be owned by the Venzan Grand Duke Stavian the third. Originally it was a slave ship the Venzan navy captured several years ago and the Grand Duke sold it off to pay gambling debts. Rumor has it, some suspected pirates or slavers potentially own it now. It is tied up at Pier 12, so you should be able to find it."

"I did not find out anything regarding a person with the name of Ismacco. As for the that cult you mentioned, probably just kooks and fanatics. Though they appear to specialize in nature magic, but you can probably guess their agenda by their name."

[sblock=For Scott]I don't know what you got going in your last post, it was a tiny pic and a bunch of white.

[sblock=Menik][/sblock]

"How large of a crew would such a ship normally have?" Menik inquires. The elf wizard sits at the table, takes a mug, thanks the wench, and begins sipping from it.

ooc: I'm busy today. I'll add the mini stat block next week.

 

[soulnova]

Galandra nods to Menik and pats Mika's back. "That would be something worth knowing, but I'm guessing they couldn't get a closer look... am I right?" she ask the chairman.

[sblock=OOC] OOPS! xD Hahahah, I copied directly from the last post. Didn't remember updating that. Done![/sblock]

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem shrugs off the previous comment. "I'm tall where it counts.

We probably want someone to keep an eye out for people coming and going off that ship. Maybe we can set-up in a building and keep it under observation, which in turn would give us time to enjoy some snacks I've been wanting to cook up. Any word on when they're scheduled to leave port?"
