ooc Blood is thicker than water

[Supercape]

OOC for thread. 

 

Temperance, Wave-Eye, Glamazon, Tsunami as a super-scuba-squad. 

[Thevshi]

I am here. So, there is a thread that never finished where Tsunami was helping the Coast Guard, so that could explain how they could reach her. And she could ask Glamazon along with her, as they are roommates.

[Supercape]

Good for me!

[Ari]

Wave-Eye hangs out in the South River sometimes so as not to be wholly isolated from the people in the weird city he's supposed to be benefactoring, chances are good he and Temperance could meet there. Or else just hearing about it from hanging around Coast Guard vessels in case they stumble upon something.

Ok a little bit of railroading - assuming you would all go to see the captain and his flare (hope that is ok). Feel free to chat and socialise. 

 

Arcane Knowledge DC 20 to clock this is, or is very likely to be, Captain Blood (dum dum daaah!)

 

If any of you have Knowledge (Technology) and want to look at the readouts and quiz the captain about the engine failure...

 

DC 20

The engines got gummed up from the outside, and whatever gummed them up then spread to the inside, which means they are seriously damaged

[Ari]

Knowledge(arcane Lore) roll(totally forgot Noche had it!): 26.

[Brown Dynamite]

Knowledge (Arcane Lore): 1d20+5 9 Glamazon is none the wiser

[trollthumper]

28 on Arcane Lore. Temperance knows all.

[Thevshi]

Well Tsunami has neither, and those are not really her areas of expertise, so I will just pass on even attempting untrained rolls.

[trollthumper]

SC, on the note of Wave-Eye's statement, I've always had Temperance's "Detect Spirits" be up in the air. I've usually had it that it applies to spirits (as animistic concepts) but not ghosts, but as Captain Blood walks both ends of that spectrum as a result of getting a power boost from Baron Samedi, you can choose whether or not Temperance's magic eyes pick him and his crew up.

[Supercape]

Lets say yes!

 

The crew are distrivuted around the ship, but there is a concentration in the entertainment hall and the engine rooms. 

[Supercape]

I'm going to do a brutal scene cut, unless anyone has something to add? do you guys want to go to the Engine Room, Entertainment Room, somewhere else, do something else, or split up? Otherwise I suggest following the supersenses and going to the Entertainment Room (i.e. follow the screams!)

[Thevshi]

Good for me.

[Ari]

Go Entertainment Room! Everyone give a big hand for the newest and hottest location in the thread!

[Brown Dynamite]

Alright with me too

[trollthumper]

Entertainment Room for me, too.

[Supercape]

Ok, so let me know when you guys want to enter the Entertainment Room...

 

Coupla things: The Captain wont follow (craven!) but you do have full access to the ships blueprints and layout from him. There are ducts and pipes into the hall, but not easy to get through: You will need Insubstantial 1+, Shrinking 4+, or an Escape Artist DC 20 (you could take 20, but that would be a loooong time) to squeeze through. 

 

The hallways has four entrance doors. 

 

Feel free to narrate pretty much any prep you wish, as long as it is not hours long!

 

Let me know when you want to boost in. If necessary, stealth rolls. And initiative rolls!

[Ari]

Plans are for people, is Wave-Eye people? NO.

Initiative roll: 11.

[Thevshi]

Tsunami gets a 22 for initiative.

[trollthumper]

Temperance goes on 19.

[Brown Dynamite]

Glam's Initiative: 1d20+1 9

[Supercape]

We have a surprise round for you guys!

 

Surprise Round

 

22 - Tsunami - 2 HP

19 - Temperance - 3 HP

11 -Wave Eye - 1 HP

9 - Glamazon - 1 HP

 

So feel free to burst in however you wish! The foes will be flat footed. Remember only a standard action for surprise round (if you want to sneak in to mellee, please make a DC 19 Stealth Roll to get there and act, other wise its just a move action!)

 

Note that Captain Blood is Insubstantial. Make a DC 10 Notice roll to pick that up (as you are busting in and orientating yourselves). 

 

Your enemies are the good Captain Blood, 25 of his crew (Skeletons, minions!), who are not quite together (but you could attack in clumps of 5 with takedown), and a pillar of barnacles in the middle, which has a toughness of 10, and uncertain nature!

[Thevshi]

Okay, sorry about taking so long to get this going.  Cape, I assume no hit roll is needed to hit the doors (or she can just take 10 and hit them).  She will power attack, to make the DC 31 for the doors to resist the water blast.

[Supercape]

That is no problem at all! They are not strong enough to blast that, so they splinter spectacularly!

 

Whilst that clearly alerts all to your presence (but they are still flat footed on suprise round), it also gives everyone a nice +2 bonus to intimidate checks this suprise round and round 1. 

 

Temperance is up!

[trollthumper]

Ah, yes. Sorry for the delay.

Free Action, I'm assuming: Notice to pick up on Insubstantial. That's a 15.

Move Action: Demoralize. -5, because I do not have Challenge (Fast Demoralize) yet, but +2 from incidental bonus. 24.

Standard Action: Move Object on as many skeletons as 9 5-by-5 squares will get me. As it's Area Shapeable, that's DC19 REF to halve, DC24 TOU to beat.
