[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6196955, member: 6674868"] My buddies and I are starting the Serpent's Skull adventure. Please, no spoilers, I'm a player and I'm pleased to go along with the story surprises. We've been shipwrecked and are on the beach. the ship itself is present but outside of the ability of any of us to repair, we are all level 1 PCs with some NPCs tagging along. It has been made clear that we'll want to build camp against the dangers of enemies, heat and illness. We've made a makeshift camp in the classic style of tarps and tents, but I'd like to do something better. I've convinced my buddies that we should rip the ship apart for materials to build a more solid fortification. Large portions of wood for walls, the mast and crow's nest embedded into the ground as a watchtower, possibly even transporting sections of the captain's cabin as an enclosure. How does one do this mechanically? What craft checks, tools needed, (level 1) spells used, etc, could accomplish tearing a ship apart and putting pieces together onto the shore? How about harvesting lumber and vines from the jungle nearby? If you were my DM, how much time would you figure such a project would take? I want to have an educated conversation with our DM and the other players about making this happen, so any of your thoughts would be appreciated. We've got a large party: Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Alchemist (me), Witch, Magis, Paladin, Monk and Druid. There are also 7 (I think) NPC's with us, so we're not short on manpower, just need the method. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
