Chat Log List - 2024 09 27 - Dead Dread Pirates - Formatted - Chat

The group starts to gather in the kitchen to discuss what they know and what could possibly happen before most of them move on to the next door.

Glimber Silvernose : [Translation] Thank you for saving me, you are very hurt

Vee Barlett: Well y'all look like a hot mess.

Vee Barlett: But not the good kind,

Ruffus DeOrange: We did what we could, we found some interesting things for magic people it seems

Vee Barlett: This whole place be an interesting thing for magic people.

Inv Zora Polasis: takes another swig of rum

Ruffus DeOrange: The little guy here saved Zora

Inv Zora Polasis: Yes he did. Glimber pulled me out of the vat of wax

Vee Barlett: Eye for an eye. She save him, he save her. That be good.

Inv Zora Polasis: And almost died himself doing it

Ruffus DeOrange: I guess they were making more than candles here

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs

Vee Barlett: Yar, that wyvern ain't somethin' you make first time. Gotta have something you work up to before you get a masterpiece like that.

Vee Barlett: Like... sewing crappy leather wallets before ya make leather armor.

Inv Zora Polasis: But the mage we killed? Maybe killed?

Inv Zora Polasis: He was wax

Vee Barlett: Were he made of wax?

Ruffus DeOrange: They got very high up there then

Vee Barlett: Then might be another.

Inv Zora Polasis: And he had a staff and he was casting

Inv Zora Polasis: So where is the human Lazio?

Vee Barlett: Hmm so he become wax? Sentient wax? Or another project of a non-waxer?

Ruffus DeOrange: I am not sure if he was wax on or wax off

Vee Barlett: Well seems caves get easier once we find useful wands so maybe good.

Inv Zora Polasis: How does a man become wax? That mage might still be out there somewhere

Vee Barlett: But to what point? This ain't a museum.

Ruffus DeOrange: The dogs seem to think they found a way out

Ruffus DeOrange: Temp is with them at a door at the end of the corridor

Vee Barlett: Yar definitely don't think mage be gone. That how ya get killed assumin'

Ruffus DeOrange: Is that where you give me your a... ahh well I mean

Vee Barlett: But if a wax figure be as strong as a real one... easy to make yer own army.

Vee Barlett: raises brow

Ruffus DeOrange: It was not that strong

Inv Zora Polasis: You should take the potions I'm holding

Vee Barlett: You test them yet?

Vee Barlett: Strong enough to make people thing twice.

Ruffus DeOrange: Yeah, we killed what two three of them?

Ruffus DeOrange: This one here seems pretty docile

Vee Barlett: A wax crew ain't a risk to ships since they water resistant and they melt with fire which ya won't have on a ship... can use them to patch things up if ya got a hole....

Ruffus DeOrange: So they might be a better crew?

Vee Barlett: Hmm... just thinkin' out loud. Maybe why Firebeard fake.

Vee Barlett: They do what ya tell them and don't question legalities so ain't a bad crew, at least.

Ruffus DeOrange: Do you want to take mister dough boy here?

Inv Zora Polasis: No!

Ruffus DeOrange: OK

Vee Barlett: Oh. Okay. He special or somethin'?

Vee Barlett: I'm outta the loops. I needed a swim to clear my head but I'm still confused.

Inv Zora Polasis: He's the size of you. You want to lug him around?

Vee Barlett: He don't respond to commands?

Ruffus DeOrange: You can try

Ruffus DeOrange: Most people do what you tell them to do

Inv Zora Polasis: looks at mill man and says “Sit!”

Inv Zora Polasis: Look he's not doing anything

It takes a good minute to process then he sits

Vee Barlett: He talk?

Vee Barlett: Ahh, so he do respond. Good.

Inv Zora Polasis: stares at wax man

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm surprised he takes orders from anyone

Inv Zora Polasis: Here are the potions. The one with the feather tag is levitation and the one with the head on it is forgetfulness.

Inv Zora Polasis: We have to test the last one

Vee Barlett: Yar let me take a quick test.

Vee Barlett: looks to see if liquid or oil

Inv Zora Polasis: Glimber and I are pretty much useless the rest of the day

Vee Barlett: Yar you need rest.

Vee Barlett: dips finger and takes a small taste

Vee Barlett: Hmm, makes me feel like I could just grab somethin' nearby and toss it easily.

Inv Zora Polasis: We've been trying to fight these wax creatures with weapons but I do wonder if we would inflict more damage stabbing them with torches

Inv Zora Polasis: Or if it would just be the same

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't know

Vee Barlett: I wonder if they fear flame? Might just be enough to wave it in front of 'em like when ya wanna scare a wolf away.

Inv Zora Polasis: It just a long time to kill both the wyvern and the mage

Vee Barlett: Yar, agree.

Inv Zora Polasis: But then most of use were either paralyzed or swimming in wax

Vee Barlett: Actually... since ya befriend him, can I see if yer dough boy here scare if I get the torch closer to him?

Ruffus DeOrange: Yes sorry for that

Inv Zora Polasis: Poor Levi had to do all the fighting

Vee Barlett: He likes that stuff. And cave so it fine.

Inv Zora Polasis: Not your fault he zapped you with that staff

Ruffus DeOrange: It was not fun

Vee Barlett: Didn't say this adventure would be, yeah?

Ruffus DeOrange: At least you are Vee

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ruffus DeOrange: Both fun and an adventure

Vee Barlett: Let's survive this first, yeah?

Vee Barlett: grabs the torch and slowly brings it closer to dough boy to see if he reacts

It does not move

Vee Barlett: Hmm so ain't scared of fire....

Vee Barlett: Ya sure I can't just... try to burn off his arm to test, Zora?

Inv Zora Polasis: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 1]

Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe because this one was made to grind flour it isn't as smart or powerful as the wyvern or the mage

Inv Zora Polasis: He just put in the effort needed for it to do its job?

Vee Barlett: eyes Zora and brings the torch a little closer to see if his arm starts to melt a little

It eventually reacts and flinches away from the flame

Vee Barlett: Yar, an early project.

Then it turns to raise a fist towards Vee

Vee Barlett: Ah so it don't like heat. Hmm. You got a torch to spare? I'll leave ya this one and take one.

Vee Barlett: pulls back

Inv Zora Polasis: Look out!

Vee Barlett: Sorry, sorry.

It stops and then resets back to grind flour mode

Vee Barlett: steps away from mill man

Inv Zora Polasis: Interesting

Vee Barlett: So they got a set task.

Vee Barlett: Like a... programmin' or something? Reading specific lines in a play and can't do more?

Ruffus DeOrange: We are but players on the stage

Inv Zora Polasis: I have 3 torches left if you need them

Vee Barlett: Ruffus, take one of them.

Ruffus DeOrange: Picks up two torches

Vee Barlett: Levi I think got more so leave Zora two.

Vee Barlett: hands back her torch

Inv Zora Polasis: If I stay here I don't need many. The bedroom is full of candles

Vee Barlett: Huh, true. Alrighty keep them, Ruffus and get one lit before we leave the room.

Inv Zora Polasis: If I follow you I don't know. I would hope no one could see us as we are so very killable at the moment

Ruffus DeOrange: Zora and Lirt have lots of magic book stuff

Inv Zora Polasis: We found the mage's spell books

Ruffus DeOrange: Should we leave all that here

Vee Barlett: Yar... not sure if we should leave ya here or keep ya safe elsewhere. Can ya set a tripwire or somethin' to protect yerself?

Ruffus DeOrange: Why would anyone look for books in a kitchen?

Vee Barlett: No. Zora. Focus.

Inv Zora Polasis: I was wanting to go to the bedroom with the soft bed

Ruffus DeOrange: Oh yeah that did look like a very nice bed to try out Vee

Vee Barlett: Yar, that close by? We can walk ya there.

Inv Zora Polasis: Ohhhh

Vee Barlett: Focus.

Inv Zora Polasis: just across the hall

Inv Zora Polasis: It has a bar

Inv Zora Polasis: Candles

Inv Zora Polasis: A bed

Vee Barlett: Don't be givin' Ruffus more ideas. This ain't the time.

Ruffus DeOrange: see I told you you would like it Vee

Inv Zora Polasis: Perfect for guarding evil mage spell books by the physically almost dead

Levi Reed: gross

Vee Barlett: What ya tell me, Ruffus? Not now, maybe later.

Vee Barlett: This is a definite not now. But keep it in mind fer later.

Levi Reed: Although if he does whatever you say, it might be more enjoyable this time

Vee Barlett: Shut it, Levi. Go back wherever ya were.

Vee Barlett: Alright so let's move to the bedroom then figure out next steps, yar?

Vee Barlett: Lev, you the caveman. Whatcha thinkin' we do?

Levi Reed: The caves I'm used to just have normal animals in them, not hideous monsters

Vee Barlett: Yar but you have best sense of direction in these places.

Levi Reed: Well, I mean, I can tell you where the lizard men are. Up this hallway and to the left

Levi Reed: How to murder them... that I don't know

Vee Barlett: Wax?

Vee Barlett: Any part of the cave we ain't visit yet?

Levi Reed: Oh lots

Levi Reed: There was that spider room way back in the other cave, more ways to go in the boat

Levi Reed: Still the dragon room

Vee Barlett: Yar, I knew those parts, I meant here.

Vee Barlett: So there be a reason to face the lizardmen?

Levi Reed: Oh, then no.

Levi Reed: Yeah they're holding someone hostage in a cage, looks like

Vee Barlett: sighs

Levi Reed: So there's that, if that's a good reason

Vee Barlett: Either be a friend of Glimber or the admiral....

Vee Barlett: And we want them stay alive?

Vee Barlett: So do we want to rescue hostage alive or....?

Ruffus DeOrange: If they are not alive is it a rescue?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Inv Zora Polasis: It could be the admiral!

Vee Barlett: Just gaugin' morals here.

Vee Barlett: And you want him alive...?

Inv Zora Polasis: Of course we do

Ruffus DeOrange: Sure

Levi Reed: I mean, we won't know until we talk to him

Vee Barlett: sighs again

Ruffus DeOrange: It it helps prove I am not dead

Inv Zora Polasis: That's why we're here

Vee Barlett: Oh. Right. I forgot.

Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly Thank you Zora

Vee Barlett: I just wanted the loot.

Inv Zora Polasis: sighs

Vee Barlett: So we gotta figure out how to take down a room full of maybe wax things, or maybe not, with only a few of us, yar?

Vee Barlett: You ain't got any flamin' trap ideas, do ya, Zora?

Ruffus DeOrange: I think yes, but also they are outside?

Vee Barlett: looks at Levi to confirm

Ruffus DeOrange: If they are wax do you think they will melt in the sun?

Inv Zora Polasis: I am not at my full capacity. I don't think I could build a trap if I tried

Levi Reed: Not gonna lie, I don't really care about helping Ruffus prove he's not dead. But we should probably find out who the guy is and then decide what to do with him.

Vee Barlett: Lumpy here, maybe. He meltin' just standin' here but if it wax like a candle? Nah.

Levi Reed: And yes, it was outside

Vee Barlett: But ya can maybe think of one.

Vee Barlett: Wonderin' if I can tie a rope a certain way....like a tripwire thingy?

Ruffus DeOrange: Ahh Ummm

Vee Barlett: So if'n the chase us, we can squeeze them in tight and pick 'em off?

Inv Zora Polasis: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 12]

Ruffus DeOrange: Your knots are more up close and personal Vee

Inv Zora Polasis: Sounds like a big lasso. Not sure that would work Vee

Inv Zora Polasis: And they would see you and probably attack before you could set something that large up

Levi Reed: Maybe you need a bear trap

Ruffus DeOrange: You said they are lizard man, not bears

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs

Levi Reed: Yeah but bear traps work on anything

Levi Reed: something steps on it and SNAP

Levi Reed: caught. Or at least lost a leg

Ruffus DeOrange: That sounds dangerous

Ruffus DeOrange: you just leave those around?

Vee Barlett: Ain't sure Ruffus wants to lose his other leg.

Levi Reed: Nah, you put them somewhere strategic when you're trying to catch something

Ruffus DeOrange: So like Vee's bed?

Levi Reed: Anyway, I don't have one so it doesn't matter right now

Vee Barlett: Ruffus. FOCUS.

Ruffus DeOrange: smile

Vee Barlett: But how do ya do like... you know... a trip thing?

Vee Barlett: If I got some sailin' rigging it'd make more sense.

Inv Zora Polasis: Ideally you would need wire so it's not visible and you need to stretch it thin between two points

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't have that kind of wire

Vee Barlett: frowns

Vee Barlett: So if it is visible.... that a problem?

Levi Reed: Probably depends how stupid the prey is

Inv Zora Polasis: less likely to trip over it

Inv Zora Polasis: nods at Levi

Levi Reed: And I have no idea how stupid lizardmen are.... ... ... yet.

Ruffus DeOrange: Yes?

Vee Barlett: What?

Ruffus DeOrange: I thought you said something

Vee Barlett: Yar, to Rothuss. For him to be stupid and reckless and distract the lizardmen and weird animal thing.

Vee Barlett: You volunteerin' to help?

Rothuss Carder: Actually, I think I can do that.

Vee Barlett: Maybe take a swig of the levitation potion and scare them into thinkin' you magical.

Ruffus DeOrange: I am here to help you prove I am not dead so yes?

Levi Reed: It's clearly a Giant Jackelopasaurus

Vee Barlett: Yar but that mean ya gotta think so how ya gonna help Rothuss distract? Sing a song?

Vee Barlett: You bard types gonna inspire us or somethin'?

Vee Barlett: Got any magic of yer own, Ruffus?

Ruffus DeOrange: I think if I stay with you and run out to get the cage?

Ruffus DeOrange: While Levi and Rothuss fight the guards?

Vee Barlett: Whatcha think about that, Rothuss? Not the fightin' but the distracting?

Rothuss Carder: I can make a lot of noise on one side and then get away quick.

Vee Barlett: Good. And get back to safety? Or am I gonna have to save yer hide like last time?

Vee Barlett: We ain't lookin' to fight so much as grab the guy in the cage and drag him back here to safety.

Rothuss Carder: Well, the 'plan' will be to get back here to safety safely.

Vee Barlett: Levi is sneaky and can maybe help draw them away, too. Then I guess Ruffus and I can try to get to the cage. Mayb the potion or climbin' or somethin'.

Vee Barlett: If they all made of wax, have a torch ready.

Vee Barlett: Well as the two puttin' yer lives at risk... anything to add? Or we just gonna go for it?

Vee Barlett: 'Cause I hate plannin' for long. It super borin'

Levi Reed: Sure, let's go for it. Now's a good a time to die as any

Rothuss Carder: So, my plan is to move around to the other side of the camp from here, make some noise, and then light out of there as quick as possible when they respond, and make my way back around to here.

Rothuss Carder: And I can move quick when I need to.

Vee Barlett: Lev, if need be, you sneak somewhere and make noise too yeah? Toss a rock or somethin'?

Levi Reed: I can toss rocks like a champ

Vee Barlett: Or shoot things but like... you know... where they can't tell where from?

Vee Barlett: I don't know. I ain't sneak if'n ya didn't notice.

Levi Reed: I only got two arrows left so I can't do much shooting

Vee Barlett: Alright so Levi and Rothuss. You distract. Ruffus and I will gauge how well ya distract to get to the cage. Yar? Anything to add? Maybe the dogs will see it as a game and run around, too.

Levi Reed: Dogs might be used to whatever is going on out there... maybe keep an eye on them, they might be able to give us some indication of... I don't know. something

Rothuss Carder: Levi, let me go first. Only distract if I don't pull enough away. You can sneak in as a backup plan, while I got nothing but noise to contribute.

Levi Reed: Sounds great, my sneaking isn't what it used to be, for some reason. Something about the red skin maybe

Vee Barlett: Rosiness. Ya just full of permanent blush

Vee Barlett: Well... then we go when yer ready, Rothuss.

Rothuss Carder: Right, let me lighten my load a bit here first.

Rothuss Carder: drops off a lot of his extra gear to get down to light encumbrance

The group that can fight goes back to the door where the cage and lizardmen are and look around.

Vee Barlett: Away from the cage dude. I'm gonna fly up there.

Rothuss Carder: Right then.

Rothuss Carder: moves off in an arc around to the right, as quietly as he can

Located next to a murky black pool of standing water are three crudely-constructed platforms arranged in a semi-circle and raised 12 feet above the boggy ground. Each has a domed shelter of branches and draped moss. Suspected from the over-arching branches of a tree is a wicker cage imprisoning a bedraggled, emaciated and thoroughly bound human. Even from a distance, several lizard men can be seen moving about the encampment. Nets of foodstuffs and other supplies concealed amongst the branches of trees, to keep them away from the swamp fauna. A large, single-horned rhinoceros-like dinosaur grazes amidst the encampment.

Rothuss Carder: pulls out his horn...

Rothuss Carder casts Expeditious Retreat which enables him to move three times as far and fast as other men.

Rothuss Carder: BLAAAAARRRRTTTTTT!!!!!!!

So Levi sees several lizard men moving around the camp, one or two might be looking after Rothuss, one looks like it is investigating that dog

Vee Barlett: Run and I'll hold it off. Ya ain't able to handle this one, dipshit.

Ruffus DeOrange: I thought you wanted a distraction while YOU ran to the cage?

Vee Barlett: Ya, for it to go after Rothuss! Who can run fast!

Vee Barlett: Lirt! Hide us so we can get distracted, maybe, yeah?

Vee Barlett: Ruffus, ya run and stay safe. Lirt, place it over us and maybe towards the cage so we can save this guy and leave.

Vee Barlett: grabs Ruffus DeOrange’s hand and yanks him away

Vee Barlett: Keep an eye on Lirt, don't attack things BIGGER THAN YOU, and I'll sneak where Levi is, yeah? We don't need death as a distraction.

Vee Barlett: Run into the door if it coming at ya.

Inv Zora Polasis: At the moment

Inv Zora Polasis: You alive Vee?

Ruffus would be bringing the man in the cage to the bed

Vee Barlett: A bit scraped up. Think we lost one of them dogs. Tried to save it but... we was all gettin' beat up. But we found you a bed mate.

Vee Barlett: Ah! Yer still here! Good. I ain't hearin' voices then.

Vee Barlett: hands the bottle back and goes to get her own bottle from the bar.

Vee Barlett: Agree, Madam Sea Witch.

Vee Barlett: Might be best to stay here before we head back. We all beat up now.

Vee Barlett: pokes the injured guy

Vee Barlett: So, you speak?

Inv Zora Polasis: Wait until Temperance sees us all

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs lightly

Vee Barlett: We should save her an extra bottle... except I ain't sure she drinks? Maybe she do now.
