Violent perk 3

A bunch of ghouls will need to die before we get off this island, especially if we are going to loot the shit out of it. It is very likely at least one of those ghouls will die by Emrys’s hand, getting him another perk for Slayer of a Thousand Men. These will progressively slow down, given time...

Chapter 50: Well at Least I’m Level 4

In which Emrys finally sleeps with Sandara,

The carpenter lied on his resume,

And Cog fails to chop down a tree,

Shae

Shae are a species of humanoids that shed their mortality and physical forms long ago through esoteric rituals. They are some of the more pleasant individuals one might run into on the Plane of Shadow, in that they merely think of mortals as lesser beings instead of, say, raw materials.

The...

Summoning

Emrys is waking up in 6 hours with the ability to summon 4HD outsiders. For obvious reasons, he’s going to be calling in the toughest bastards he can. Shame this is the lineup that a bunch of knowledge checks was able to furnish him with. This poll is for general interest, not just the immediat...

Chapter 49: Well at Least we have Fortifications

In which dozens of ghouls die,

Sosima flashes the whole crew,

And Emrys desperately needs a nap.

Lady Sosima Aulamaxa: Fishy Edition

The first Gillmen were humans modified by Aboleths to be more perfect slaves. Particularly infiltrators and envoys on the surface.

They are physically sturdy and beautiful by human standards, but their minds have back doors that make them vulnerable to aboleth mind control and they can’t...

Chapter 48: Well at Least the Weather is Nice

In which Curtis exercises his incredible powers of delegation,

Conchobar talks to a cat,

And Emrys stops pretending he respects Plugg’s authority

Career Planning

Ok. Everyone in the crew knows how big a deal Emrys is. He’s the leader, and could probably take the role of captain. Only problem: Emrys doesn’t actually have any ranks in Profession: Sailor, and Curtis doesn’t know dick about ships either. So.  What is he going to do&...

Chapter 47: Well at Least Sandara Made Booze

In which Curtis comes to appreciate bracelets,

Dierdre remembers that there’s no place like home,

And Dr. Lonegan puts her patient’s safety first.

I set out a poll about what the next arc will be after this one; remember to vote on that.

Next Steps

Next chapter coming out later today, but I thought I’d bring out this week’s poll a little early. It’s a big one.

There are quite a few potential directions for the party to go in once they’ve left the island. Curtis will definitely leave Bonewrack eventually, even if only to bring ...

Level 2 Spells

Emrys isn’t level 4 yet, but he’s likely to hit that level at the same time as a lot of other stuff happening. As such, I’m asking now: What will be his first level 2 spell.

Stone Discus: And then I threw a rock at him. Launch a magical stone disk at a target. It does 4d6 damag...

Chapter 46: Well at Least her Earrings Still Work

In which Cog unknowingly tries to cockblock

Curtis forgets about how illusions work

And Sosima ends a two decade long dry spell

Human Sosima

It’ll only last for 24 hours before she reverts. Let’s see if we can make some further adjustments for security purposes, eh?

Sosima Builds

Well, we certainly aren’t keeping her as a ghoul. What does Sosima’s build look like when she becomes mortal? Keep in mind that she will be locked in to Vishgurv for a year.

Pactbound Magi: Specialize in binding spirits that give reliable ranged magic and utility options. Can bin...

Chapter 45: Well at Least We Won the Fight

In which Rosie is Disarmed,

Rowe absolutely carries,

Besmara makes a cameo,

And Emrys finally checks his achievements tab.

Besmara

Born as a water elemental, Besmara was always ambitious. Over years, she found she had a talent for bullying sea monsters into doing what she wanted.

She became a powerful water spirit worshipped and channeled by the shaman of Garund, essentially running a protection racket where sailors wo...

What do we do after we finish the rescue?

For better or worse, the party will have dealt with the grindylows and saved everyone they could save by next chapter. So… what then?

Go out of their way to loot the caverns before leaving. It risks additional injury from traps or stragglers, and you might be trapped by high tide, ...

Chapter 44: Well at Least the Demon is Effective

In which the party breaks regional records in speed climbing,

The grindylows weaponize chained up naked dudes,

And the Dretch takes advantage of loosely worded contracts

Slayer of a Thousand Men 2

In the next few days, Emrys is extremely likely to kill at least one person. I’m just gonna preemptively ask what he’ll be getting for that.

Arcane Strike- You may imbue any weapon or unarmed strike you have with magic, allowing it to bypass resistances to nonmagical damage and ...

Chapter 43: Well at Least We Have a Local Guide

In which Syl demonstrates how drugs are good for you,

Sosima shows us a big smile,

and Emrys burns all his spell slots right before a huge boss fight
