First Post
Here's Blue-Note Bart's character sheet, I'll write up the background this weekend. Bront, it looks like I've got 9,000gp available, although it would be nice to have some of that for a retirement. I figure he's probably squirreled away 4,000gp (has a small home somewhere), and has invested 5,000gp as a share in the ship.
Phoenix, how are we doing hitpoints?
Appearance: A leathery old salt if there ever was one, Bart still has a charming, if aged, smile. He's always got a wry grin upon his weatherbeaten face, and a story upon his lips. He enjoys spinning tales and playing his fiddle. Captain Smith is always nearby, and always seems to enjoy Bart's stories and music.
Background: Bartholomew Jenkins was a member of the original crew of the Razor Fin under Captain Hunter. When the loyal members of the crew were cast adrift, it were his trusty old fiddle that kept their spirits lively, and hope of rescue alive. He's always ready with a rousing drinking song, a bawdy ballad, or a soothing solo. He's been known to dance around the deck of the ship playing madly away on his fiddle, right in the middle of a boarding action or withering broadside. No one's quite sure what to make of this old codger, as he's always spinnin' a yarn or tellin' a tale about this pirate or that captain. More than one young buccaneer has gone off in search of fabulous buried treasure at the urging of old Blue-Note Bart. One of the more interesting tales heard round the ports is that of the monkey that accompanies Jenkins. It appears far more intelligent than it should be, and according to Jenkins it is the former commander of the Moon Goddess, Captain Jeremiah Smith, who's been put under a terrible curse. No one seems to know if it's just a good yarn or the honest truth, but the crew of the Moon Goddess have occaisonally been known to salute the monkey, and respond to his screeches with, "Aye Cap'n."
Bart's got no family to speak of, unless you can call your fellow pirates family. He's loyal to Captain Swoops, and does his best to look after him and the ship. Bart's used some of his ill-gotten goods to purchase a small farmstead, where he plans to retire. At least, that's what he tells himself. He knows that the sea is in his blood, pirating in his spirit, and he'd just as soon die on the water than fade away on land. He tells the crew that he'll retire "one of these days, but best you mind your own business." Bart never liked Captain Hunter, and if given the chance, he'd happily take revenge upon him.
Item explanations:
Various Adventuring Gear - This will be detailed, I just didn't feel like calculating everything out right now.
Belt of Many Pockets:
[sblock]As per Complete Arcane, general gist is that it contains 64 extradimensional pockets, each capable of holding 10 pounds, 1 cubic foot of material, or the owner's familiar (the familiar has no need for food, water, or air while in the pocket).
While worn, the belt weighs 1 pound, regardless of what is put into it. If the belt is removed, it weighs 1/10th of the total weight put into it.
Retrieving an item from a pocket is a move action that doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.
If needed, I can post a further writeup.
