Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon DND campaign
featuring Cindy, a young Vagabond from the Hohen region
with pyromaniac tendencies, Gimli, a stocky Burley Meyer
from Sino looking for his lost son, Elody, an enthusiastic
foodie and Baker from Carlos, and Schmidt, an enigmatic man
from Johto with a duck. My name is Rich and I'm the Game
Master and this is Dunsparse and Grandpa.
After spending a raucous night in Pedalburg City participating
in Gimli's favorite sport, the Quacko, Paco spent the night at
the Pokémon Center Hostel, visited the local right of
learning, which seemingly replaced the Pokémon Gym that
was previously in this humble town, And now they are planning
the next steps of their adventure.
It is a temperate, breezy morning in the Hohen region at
about 10:00 AM in the middle of the ninth month of the calendar
year. It is strange to think that
months have now well surpassed weeks to describe the
appropriate unit of time since the Lily Cove City Summer
Festival, the event that brought these 4 then unfamiliar
fledgling trainers together. What will the Quacko Packo do?
What happened to the gym? Are you asking me or is this a
Quacko Packo conversation out there in the ether?
We might not have as much of A history of knowledge of that.
Yeah, probably a general question.
OK. What day we could ask around.
Specifically, yeah, you can roll history I guess.
For the date, yeah, roll. Or go find out, but Cindy
doesn't know off the top of her head.
For history, that's a 17. OK.
Yeah, it is. September 15th is the day.
Hey guys, Cindy's birthday's tomorrow.
My birthday's tomorrow. That's so crazy.
Yeah. Great.
Glad.
We got that figured out all right.
The party does not care about Cindy's birthday.
Schmidt, give me a wisdom check. Actually, since you're asking
about the gym. OK, that's a + 116.
With a 16, Schmidt observes the building that the Quacko Paco
just exited and acknowledges that it looks very reminiscent
to a Pokémon gym. All of the normal traits are
there. The shape kind of resembles a
gym. It even has some kind of, what
you call it Regalia like like the way that the building is
designed seems very Pokémon League esque despite not being a
Pokémon League institution, so one might suggest.
And it's also very like central to the town.
It seems like the gym has been replaced for some reason.
OK, what's the reason? Schmidt was not able to deduce
that off of his role, and I don't think a crit would give
him that either. OK.
We can ask somebody. Sure.
Yeah, We're just at like the center hostel, right?
You're actually like kind of in the center of town.
You're closer, you're behind the Pokémon Center, and you're in
front of the right of learning. There's people known about.
It's like a sort of regular week in the morning.
You noticed that? I'll tell you just based off of
your perception check that this is a popular town for families
and retirees. Can I find the closest retired
person? Yeah, give me a retired person
search check. You will find one.
This will just determine what kind of person they're like.
OK. Would that be the dexterous
activity? No, it wouldn't.
I mean, if you can flavor it in a way that it would be, then
sure. Popping and weaving through all
these old people. That's a.
That's a 2 on the dice. It's a 2 on the dice.
OK, Yeah, you will. You will find a crotchety, dare
I even say hag like elder woman whose eyes are so buried under
under wrinkles you cannot see them.
She's very hunched over and she is holding a cane and she is
accompanied by a skunk Pokémon. It is purple and black and it.
And you also can barely see its eyes.
It's fur is completely covering its face and it This woman looks
in quotations up at Schmidt and says, what do you want?
Hey I. Was wondering if you knew
anything about like a gym that used to be here or anything.
The woman says Oh yeah, Norman, that old fart something to do
about his daughter. It didn't have to work anymore
and just didn't feel like running the gym and sold the
building to to some other thing from from some faraway region.
I don't know how it works. I see, I see.
Do you know if there's a gym replacement?
This crotchety old woman is going to make a roll, she says.
No, I don't think so. This is a pretty quiet town
lately. It's kind of for the better.
I hate seeing the young kids coming through bothering me all
the time. Kids like you.
OK, let me bother you again. So there's only seven gym badges
in this region. She will roll again, she says.
What? OK, So what I said was, is there
only seven gym badges in this region?
She says why would I know? I'm not a trainer, I don't know
anything. I mean you have a Pokémon.
She says, oh, this is farts. Farts looks at Schmidt and it
goes. That's the sound that it makes
with its mouth. And the old woman says Farts
isn't good for battling. We don't know anything about
that. The heck, Farts doesn't even
have a pokey ball. We just like to hang out.
I know the feeling. I know the feeling.
OK, You've been not helpful. Thank you.
He. Says great, get out of my town.
Great. I'm going to.
And she stumbles with her cane. Schmidt walks away and he's like
I. Like that Lady, big fan new ship
I was going. To say, do you think that's
acai? I don't think so.
Man, we're so close guys. Maybe the next old lady we
bother. Are you acai?
Are you my dad? Yeah, just for old grandma
check. Hey, we did have a dad check
that did happen. My dad.
It seems like that there may be like some sort of small farmers
market happening and by farmers market there's like 1 stand that
a bunch of old people are are going to for for some product
including this is crotchy old woman and farts this gun tank.
I always trust old people tastes.
We got to check out that card. It's very close by.
It's not really a trek at all. Can I?
Yes, bother the old woman again and ask her what the stance
about. You can.
First I want LD to roll AD 20. Got it 17.
Great, now you can bother the old woman.
Hey, what's this stand about? I'm going to give her a
temperament check, she says. Why are you still bothering me?
I told you to leave. I'm just here to get my
medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs.
OK, thank you. That was actually a huge help.
Hey guys. It's a stand for Medicinal
Herbs. Medicinal herbs.
It seems like there's like roots and leaves and lots of little
plants and the the merchants, who is a lot younger than all of
the people purchasing actually has like a constantly boiling
VAT of water and he's serving fresh hot tea for anyone who
wants to purchase it. Let's I'm down with the tea.
Yeah, let's do it. Tea.
Time. Tea time.
Try time.
Bowling episode now the Tea Party episode.
There is a fire under this VAT that seems like not a fire that
is used from burning rocks and sticks.
It is clearly coming from a creature of some sort but there
is no visible face. It kind of just looks like a
curled up ball of like maybe a darkish bluish green and pale
fur and there's just a raging fire and who knows the source of
it. The T is it just says today's
special and then doesn't list AT and then it says 2 pokey
dollars. Bound for mystery tea.
Mystery tea for Schmidt, Mr. T for Elodie.
Oh yeah. You had flavor.
I'm in. I was just going to say I'm
just, I was just going to walk up and say miss or not Mystery
tea. What was it?
Flavor of the day, please? And give him two pokey dollars.
Great, this gentleman is multitasking.
He's currently helping these old people who can't see or hear
very well, but he sees the young people and just kind of hands
out cups as you hand payments with no issue.
And you know, it's kind of got like one of those like water
cooler faucets or like, you know, the coffee dispenser
things. You know, I'm, I'm saying it's
very hot because there's a Pokémon that is burning fire
underneath, but you can still reach there and fill up a cup
with with some some tea. I'm assuming everyone does so.
Absolutely. OK very cool.
I'm also assuming everyone drinks from it.
Yes. OK, everyone makes ADC 12
constitution check. Oh boy.
Tea check. A good tea.
Pass no burn muscle. DC What?
Oh yeah. 12/12. He passes.
Nice. I rolled the wrong die.
Never mind. I did not pass OK.
I did not pass either. What were your rules 4 + 2 Six
OK, also six. Also 6 cool.
Gimli and Cindy take a sip with the T.
It is very bitter, but in like a very pleasant kind of floral
way, as many TS are. And what were your two roles?
For me and Cindy, yes, I got a 13. 15. 15 OK Gimli feels woken
up. It's like 10 AM and he feels
sharp as a tack and until the sunsets, his advantage on
intelligence and wisdom checks. Cindy really vibes with AT.
It reminds her of something that her grandparents would drink and
she gets AD 6 of inspiration to use within 24 hours. 1D6 LED
takes a sip of the tea and it is too hot.
Oh God it is so hot. Roll 1D four.
Oh. No one.
Let's go. One nice the formula has a plus
one at the end actually. So LED takes 2 points of tea
damage as it is scalding hot for her.
Everyone was served the same tea, but LE DS just refined
sweet tastes are perturbed by this sculpting hot tea that she
was not prepared for. Not the most pleasant
experience, Schmidt. Schmidt gulps down his tea
begrudgingly. It is not a flavor that he
enjoys. He will have disadvantage on any
upcoming Constitution checks. Constitution.
This tea is a ageist. Perhaps it is like young and old
people. True.
What about us middle-aged? middle-aged?
Does LD say this? Adults, yes.
Okay, as this conversation is happening, the Packo realizes
that they are surrounded by seniors and some of them still
have their hearing. And they kind of look at LD and
they shake their heads very, very begrudgingly as they
acknowledge that she is a fit and beautiful young woman who is
not old at all, who just described herself as
middle-aged. And everyone said, oh, if only I
had those years. And like a like a true person of
their mid 20s. I'm so old.
My back hurts, so there's some general LED animosity.
Not only did she like spit out her teeth because it was too
hot, but then she's like, I'm young or I'm old and so she
single handedly made like all of the people of Pedalburg despise
her, which is great. Well, that's usually how you
want to leave the town, right? Yeah.
Yeah, maybe we should get out of here.
Yeah, I'm down, Yeah. Oh, you know what?
Just one last thing. LED roller do 20 OK.
I'm scared 6. 6 Perfect. Uh oh, stinky.
Right after LED made her remark, the old woman's scun tank sprays
her. Oh no, she's so smelly.
Oh, now you're old and smelly. The crotch, the old woman said.
Way to go, Farts. You know exactly what to do and
Farts looks very proud and happy, and Elodie is actually
going to suffer charisma penalties until she no longer
stinks. Do you kids think?
That's so funny you're. So stinky.
You were having. Such a like.
Pleasant time bowling yesterday. What?
What happened I'm. Still having a great time.
This is the side effects of the bowling.
This is the bowling hangover can.
I bring I supposing Cabbage is probably already out, sure.
But if I could have her emit perhaps a pleasant smell around
me, yeah, that would be nice. You'll start with a performance
check and then based on how you roll, I will let you pick the
scent. Is this cabbage's performance?
Yes, it is. Oh thank God, 24.
Oh, nice. Very good.
Yeah, you can choose like whatever scent you want.
I, I don't know if I want to like give in to these old people
and have it be like an old people scent.
I I suppose that's probably the way to go.
We'll go with like a nice like a Chanel #5 old people scent.
Great, me definitely knowing what Chanel #5 looks like.
It perfectly capable of describing it looks like, smells
like. If you've ever been around an
old person, that's that's that's the perfume, OK?
Got it. Understood.
Thanks to cabbage's performance check, it's actually quite
successful at masking the scent. Cabbage has grown in power quite
a bit, and so you'd only really notice that LD is particularly
stinky if you got very close. Way to go Cabbage saving the
day. As such, you won't have charisma
problems unless you're very close to someone.
Makes sense? Well, yeah, the the old people
continue to hustle and bustle again, seems like a a pretty
quiet kind of town. There's some retirees earlier in
the day you might have seen some people commuting, some young
adults commuting to Rossborough for work who happened to enjoy
the the lower cost of living in Petalburg.
But besides that kind of just an old person town, there's still
your classic Pokémon Center, Pokémon Mart.
It has a right of learning, obviously a bowling alley, a
couple other attractions, but besides that it is hard to
really call it a city. It is more of a town.
Do we want to go bowling again? Yes, bowling again.
Do we want to go to that boat store?
Would you call it that? The place, Place.
Pace with the boats. The dock.
See if we can find it. Dock.
Sure. Let's go with that and see if we
can find a boat and maybe maybe get on the water here and make
our way to do dooferd. Yeah.
Perhaps, unless does anyone else want to do anything in in
Pedalburg not. Much left.
I already conquered the sport here so.
Right, right, right. They already have your name on a
plaque. Yeah.
Great. I'm assuming that's consensus.
Yes. Yep, the quacko Paco depart
westward. Sorry.
Can I? Can I?
Can I tell bye to this scraggly old lady in farts?
Yes you can. All right.
Thank you. You've been a big help.
Bye. Charisma check.
Can I stand next to LED so I can get disadvantaged on that?
You have to be like I just. Think it'd be funny if I got a
roll roll. Go for it.
Damn it, that's still a 15, OK. It's too cute.
He can't put it away. This this old woman, despite
hating Schmidt, is kind of charmed in a similar way that
like a six year old who had a crush on someone would like
bully them. That's kind of how she feels
right now. And she she waves goodbye and
she's like, get out of here. But she has a smile, and she
blushes a little bit. Why?
How are you so good with old people?
I basically am one on the inside.
This attracts the ears of all the old people around a little
bit. They all kind of side I Schmidt
for making another statement about how old these adventurers
are. At least it's not the 1615 year
old 1415 around there. I don't know.
The Quakopako ventures westward toward Route 104, a place they'd
already been at a different time of day.
They're looking for a boat place, a dock perhaps, and what
they find is a wooden place of business with a a very long dock
stretching out into the sea and a big old sign on the top that
says Briny's Shipyard, made in an ornate, beautiful wooden
sign. It's got lots of white and blue
in general nautical colors, and there is an impression of a
seagull Pokémon. It looks very happy, and it's
smiling and it's wearing a little kerchief around its neck.
There are, in fact, boats here for reasons I will not currently
describe them. Are you entering the shipyard?
Yes. Yes, yeah, great.
As you enter the wooden building, the the nautical
building, you see around you lots of nautical nonsense, if
that's something you wish. Lots of like anchors and like
pictures of the sea and aquatic Pokémon designs and sculptures.
It's it's very, very oceanic. And right as you enter, there's
a bird Pokémon on a stoop. It has a massive bill.
It seems like you could fit many a fish Pokémon inside of it.
And as you enter, it goes nice and loud, like as one would if
you were entering a place of business and there was a chime
on the door or something and said it just happens to be a
Pokémon. And for all four of you, it goes
book org. As you enter, it has a big smile
on its face. And this alerts a worker who is
working. This is a woman probably in her
30s, forties. She's wearing kind of a sailor's
garb, but wearing coverall. Seems like she might have been
doing some maintenance or something.
And she peeks her head out from the corner of the room and she
says welcome on in. Welcome to Briny's shipyard.
How can I help you? Hi, we are looking to travel to
Duford and we are looking to perhaps rent or purchase a boat
in order to do so. The woman says great, you picked
a great time. We're just opening up.
We're not too busy. I don't have any super serious
repairs to do right now. You want to do some boat
shopping Shall take you out to the dock.
That sounds great sounds. Lovely.
So this person walks to your group, she is wearing a name tag
that says Little Miss Briny on her, on her, on her coveralls
and lead you out to the dock. This is where we will begin the
focus of this play session where the Quacko Packo will be
building boats. I think this would be fun to do
one at a time. The boats that you generate
based on your roles will be the only boats that are available
for purchase slash rent. So who wants to go first?
I'm down. Oh yeah, you got it.
Go, go, go. Schmidt will go first.
Roll 1D12. It's just like Roll for Sandwich
but with boats. I love roll for.
Oh, I got a 12. A12.
Nice. Yes, OK, just so you know, they
don't always correspond to quality.
Some of them do. Roll another.
Well, roll AD 10 first. That's a six.
OK, roll another D10. That's a 2.
Roll one more D12. That's a 7.
OK. Roll AD 4.
That's a one. OK, Started off so strong and
then just went downhill. Roll another D4.
That's a four. OK, this is a very funny boat.
Should we do? Should we wait for everyone to
get their boats and then I'll describe them all?
Or do we want descriptions like now?
I think one at a time is fun. You do want to know what this
boat is like. I do, yes.
This is Schmidt's generated boat, so I have to know if
Schmidt wants to hear about this boat.
Yeah, OK. We will describe the boat.
The first boat that Little Miss Brownie takes you to is front
and Center for a good reason. It is massive.
It is a huge ship. It is in fact, one might
describe it as a yacht. It is basically a house on a
boat. It is relatively modern,
However, it isn't perfect. It is a deep red color, which
really like isn't super pleasant to look at.
It has blue trim, so around all of its features and and also
like the the top compartments, like the roof area to where
there's living quarters is all blue.
It has decals on it. The previous owners decided to
name this particular ship Thunder Spray and there are
lightning bolts all across the whole it has.
It seems like it's maneuverability would be quite
poor. It is very stocky and wide and
it doesn't particularly seem like it has a great motor on it.
However, for a yacht, the price is basically as good as it gets,
probably because it wouldn't handle very well.
Little Miss Briny introduces you to Thunder Spray and says this
particular vessel is what I've been trying to get rid of for a
while. It certainly could make a trek
to do for it and you would be living very comfortably.
I can't speak to its ship worthiness, but it's quite the
looker. Thunder Spray will run you
10,000 pokey dollars to purchase or we can discuss a rental
agreement. Who's next?
Yeah. I'll go next.
Roll AD 12. 11. 11 OK, roll AD 10.
Or. Roll another D10. 8.
Roll a 12. 2. Roll three different D fours.
3-2 and four. Great Lil Miss Briny introduces
you to the next ship which is also very large and fancy.
This could potentially be described as a mini yacht.
Lil Miss Briny says this particular ship often gets taken
out for for little cruises down to do fruit and back.
So once again should perfectly suit your needs.
I would imagine you look it up and down and it is very
comically colored. It is orange and black.
It looks like a Halloween vessel and Little Miss Little Miss
Briny acknowledges this and she has an addendum.
She says, so while this the color scheme is similar to a
Gore Geist, one would say the ship itself does have a
haunting. And as she says this, a little
creature steps up on the AFT side of the ship and purchase
and looks down at you all and let's out a meow.
Little Miss Brownie says there's this meow that's lived on the
ship and I just can't get it to leave.
So if you ended up taking the ship, I'm sorry if you're
allergic to cat Pokémon, but there's no getting rid of it.
It's just on the boat. There's nothing you can do about
it. Looking it over, it seems more
seaworthy than the other one and it'll run you 8000 Pokémon
dollars to purchase and rental agreements would be different.
Who's next? I can go next.
Ality generate me a boat roll AD 12.
Woohoo. I need you to get the exact
combination of rolls for us to get the going Mary.
So true, I don't even know what that is but I agree.
I got an 11 so we'll see. Roll again. 12.
Roll again. 3. Awesome.
Roll AD109. OK, roll another D10. 1.
Roll AD 1211 and roll 3 individual D fours you.
Got 2 threes and another 3. All threes.
Nice. Yes, Great.
Little Miss Briny introduces you to the next ship.
Little Miss Briny says, I don't know how familiar you are with
boat types, but this is what we in the industry call a cutter.
And what you see is what an average person would describe
as, you know, a sailboat. But it looks like a good one.
It looks like a not a cheap one. It seems like something that is
certainly seaworthy. This one does in fact actually
have under deck storage and perhaps even bed space, which is
pretty cool. This particular cutter was
rigged out with very fancy sale deployment.
It's self maintained, so you don't need like a particularly
strong rigor to like make the sales work.
There's an automatic button, they flip, they just shoot up
and it's very easy to navigate, which is a huge plus.
It is fully white. The deck, everything, everything
about it is pure, pure white. And in fact, it looks very
clean, Looks to be in pretty good condition.
And if you were to purchase it, it would run you 2800, only
2800. As a note, this is not of a
motor. It is a sailboat.
There's one more boat to generate.
Cindy, would you do the honors? Sure.
Give me AD 12. A5.
Awesome. OK, give me AD 10. 6.
Give me another D10. An 8.
Who sick give me AD 12? 4.
OK, give me 3 consecutive D fours. 2222.
That's 4D fours. Did you say 3?
Yeah, but I mean the for all twos.
Then it doesn't matter. They were all twos, OK?
Hiding behind the shipyard building where you first met
Little Miss Briny. For some reason you didn't
notice it before, but what you come across as the final ship
that is available for use is literally a pirate ship.
It is what Little Miss Briny describes as a priveteer.
It is a large wooden vessel with one, perhaps maybe 2 under deck
spaces. It is a beautiful full wooden
vessel. This large sails that are
hanging are red and black striped.
The very kind of intimidating and cool vibe to it.
It has been tricked out with many spotlights, which is very
interesting. One may wonder if they were used
for signaling to other vessels, or perhaps they were used for
something else entirely. Who knows.
It seems like there was what you call the thing at the front of a
boat. There's a word for it, Mass.
Is it mass? Mass is where you hang the
sails, right? Figurehead.
That's what it is there. It seems like there may have
been a figurehead on the ship, but it has been broken off.
But there is adequate mounting if one were to do such a thing.
So it's not a goat. It's not a goat, but you could
make it. What?
I'm leaving. Cindy has generated a cool
pirate ship somehow and that would run the party. 10,000
Pokémon dollars to purchase. Rentals are different.
Those are your ships in review. There is a yacht named Thunder
Spray. It looks kind of shitty but it's
really big which is cool. There is like a mini yacht that
is Halloween themed and has a resident cat.
There is a good old sailboat, it's very cheap and its sales
look very fancy. And then as your last option,
there is a whole ass pirate ship with spotlights.
What will the Quacko Packo do? A.
Good question. Yeah.
Pros and lemons. 3 or 4. Also I feel like renting might
be ideal because realistically how much boat do we need?
True. Yeah, we're not really going to
need it probably after after we complete our quest.
Or if we do need it, we could rent it again.
That's true. Well, and I additionally I was a
sorry note once we go to do for Duford, we do have a way to
travel back there without a boat.
I'm going to point to my bracelet, although we don't, you
don't necessarily need to use. We also just leave the boat
there like we wouldn't return it.
Kind of bad as a renter, don't you think?
Yeah, true. We would need to return it.
Yeah, that's. How renting works.
Can we make? Oh no, I meant I meant like.
It's the portal. I meant if we needed to return
to Duford after like going there.
I didn't mean like we just leave the boat.
I'm assuming this is a private conversation between the four of
you. Yeah.
Yeah, if you want some chaos, I'll roll an eavesdrop.
But Little Miss Brownie is a respectful saleswoman, so we're.
Not trying to screw her over. OK, great.
Could could I just ask her real quick though, how long it would
take to get to Duford on each of these boats?
Like if she could give an estimate.
Yeah, Lil Miss Briny licks her finger and points it up in the
air. And she's like, hmm, with the
wind, with the way it is now. And she looks over the horizon
and she says with the weather, depending on how that goes, she
evaluates each of the ships. She gestures to the yacht and
she says, based on this one's handling, I'd be surprised if
you could get there in 2 days. Referencing to boat #2 the the
Halloween mini yacht with the cat, she says this one probably
handles a little bit better, but it is still I'm going to give
you a ballpark 2 days to get to do for the little sailboat, the
cutter. She says depending this is very
wind and weather reliant. So if you you know, if you get
the tailwinds in your favor, you get there in less than a day.
If it's not favorable, it could take you maybe a week.
And then at the the pirate ship, the Priveteer, she says also
pretty reliant on the winds, but just a much, much stronger ride.
It won't be influenced as much by tides and currents.
It's not going to bobble around as much.
So I will also quote you if you get good wins probably one day,
and if you get bad wins maybe 3 or 4.
OK, well, that's something to consider.
Kind of leaning towards the pirate ship.
Yeah, pirate, Pirate ships looking pretty nice.
How much would it be to rent the pirate ship for this was I don't
know how long are we going to need it?
Oh yeah, let you guys decide that first.
Well, I mean, depending on the weather we could need it much
longer. We just put like a down payment
on it and then return it whenever.
Right. How do how do rentals work and
how does the cost work and all that?
Great, Loomis Briny pulls out a clipboard and puts on some some
readers and says sure, let's talk through it.
This is Cindy Ship so I need Cindy to roll AD 10 D 10. 4. 4
pretty good. Little Miss Briny says we do
rentals on a fortnight basis, so get your chug jugs out.
No, she says we do rentals on a fortnight basis.
So that's every two weeks. So to rent the privateer would
cost you 4000 pokey dollars per two week period.
That does not include any charges that may be related to
damage or any other issues that happen with the ship when you
return it. We can establish, we can
establish a rental period up to any length of time, but based on
the clients that I have, I do prefer having more specific
windows. So if you say you're going to
have it for two weeks, if it takes longer than three weeks,
you will be charged a late fee up to equal the the base amount
of rent. What if it's shorter?
What if we return it before the two weeks?
There's no change. So we have a boat for two weeks,
guys. Yeah, I mean, it's totally
doable. And like, let's see, let me look
at my handy dandy map. Don't we also have Patricia who
can make the wind be good for us?
Yes. This is something that like,
yeah, we could, we could definitely use our Pokémon to
help, hopefully. Yeah, but I.
How much is not how much is the smaller ship?
Just to see the price of that. For two weeks.
The cutter is 2800. It's by far the least expensive
option. Oh, and to rent it, that would
be a That would be a LED roll on AD 10.
What am I rolling? D10.
Got it. 9. 9 Math Math math We are going to say a mere 500
Pokémon dollars for a two week period.
I just figured it'd be worth to consider it because.
That might. Not be bad like if we can make
it be favorable wins it might be faster and cheaper.
I mean, I'm just like of the the supposed boat fund that we got
from the gems, like the pirate ship is only half of that for
two weeks. Yeah, but if.
Something happens, which I feel like something always happens
and we're late, we'll have a late fee and we don't even know
how much that'll be on top of the like nearing 4 week mark if
we if that shows that's. Well, it would, it would be
another, I think she said. It'd be another base fee.
We've been here, right? So if it hits the two weeks, we
can just do the. Portal the boat back.
Yeah. Can the portal become big enough
to portal the boat back? I'm I'm not answering that
question. Well, I don't know, answer that
one. At at least we could port all
ourselves back to warn her maybe that we'll be a little late,
although that might be kind of weird.
We have the. Boats.
We're here. We don't have the boat, but
we're here to tell you it's on its way.
That's great. The smaller boat might be easier
to portal too. Potentially, if that even is an
option, yes. I mean, just take the sail down
and then you're just portaling that boat, you know?
True. True, true, true, true.
I mean, at this point it seems like everybody's leaning a
smaller boat maybe, Unless I'm reading this wrong.
Prices make sense with it. Sure.
Yeah, and and. Good.
Money to spend elsewhere. Right, We will have a lot of
money then for other things and I love having money so.
Are you committing? Sounds like a plan.
Let's do it. OK, it's not.
The going Mary, but I'm that's fine.
It's a cute boat nonetheless. Who will provide payment and who
will sign the rental agreement? I can do that.
I'm going to let boat money take care of that.
Yeah, I'm holding the boat money right now.
I can. I can take care of that, OK.
Or even the cost to buy this boat was like still not a huge
amount of our or a little more than 1/4 of our money.
This is true, but what are we going to use a boat for beyond
this two week period? That's true.
Can we ram it into our enemies? No.
OK, yeah, we're renting. Well after saying that, that's a
bad idea to rent because if you ram into your enemies I mean.
Yeah, so we won't ran RAM into our enemies.
Great. OK, LED agrees to do the
paperwork. Please deduct an initial payment
of the first week's rent, which is our first two weeks rent
which is 500 Pokémon dollars. A steal one might say steal.
Lil Miss Brownie evaluates the Quacko Packo and she says it's
important for a sail vessel that you all have a crew established.
So I'll have each of you sign in your names which positions each
of you will be taking up. There are 4 fields on the rental
agreement. There is the field of Captain,
there's the field of Sailor slash rigger, there's the field
of navigator, and the last field is Mate slash gunner.
So Quacko Packo, what roles do you have?
Feels kind of obvious to me. Yeah, I'll be the gunner.
Yep. Yep, Yep, I'm the captain.
I'm the rigger. The map lady is the the yeah,
yeah. Yeah, kind of fitted to that
bowl very easily. Great.
Lohmus Brownie was happy and impressed that it went so
quickly. The final term on the rental
agreement specifies any modifications that you would
like to make to the ship. You can apply new paint, you can
install features like a figurehead, or you can install a
crow's nest, or you can install things like a telescope or
spotlight. You can install a smuggling
cabinet if so you if you so wish they're.
Like encouraging can we can we can we can we can we put a goat
head you. Just want you just.
Want Does she have a goat head? Rolling Specifically the one
from the goat. Actually, a goat.
A goat. Goat head.
You should roll actually. Schmidt OK, OK, OK.
OK, just AD 20. That's a nine. 9 She does have a
goat figurehead. It is not a go goat.
It is a Skidoo. He's.
A little guy. Oh.
He's a little dude. And it would only cost 25
Pokémon dollars. But it's not the the Going Merry
head. Looking at it, I mean, it's kind
of similar. It's not nearly as big, of
course, yeah, but the expression is kind of the same.
It seems pretty similar, yeah. No, I guess we'll save her
money. The disappointment.
You can also get custom sales if you so wish.
You can install actual like real cannons, sure, but there's also
like special, kind of what you call them, focuses for Pokémon
that utilize range attacks to attack at a distance.
It double s their attack range if you install them and they
fire through it. Any sort of thing you could, you
could enforce it with armor. That's an option.
Basically I just I want to give you all the option to customize
the ship however you see fit. Right.
What happens on the water between here and Duford?
Like we need armor for our ship. You are scared?
Are you asking Lil miss brainy? Yes, I will ask that.
She says, well, to be honest with you, there's a number of
things that can go wrong. It seems like because the oceans
are heating up that core solar reefs are migrating further out
into the sea and sometimes they pile up so high that they can
scratch the underside of your ship.
Weather can be unpredictable. As of lately, there have been
reports of rampaging Pokémon out in the deep water that sailors
tend to run into. There's a number of things and
you never know. It's always good to have a hard
year vessel just in case. That's fair.
I I would be in favor then of armor because this is such a
small ship. I don't necessarily know if we
need anything else, but I don't know how the rest of you feel
about. Ram it into something.
Sure, why not? How?
How much is the armor for the ship?
The armor, it depends on how much you want to reinforce it.
The armor class of the vessel is 15 by default.
To reinforce it to 16 would cost 100 Pokémon dollars.
To reinforce it to 17 would cost 250.
And that's the body. Excuse me?
The rigging has a lower armor class, it is 13.
You could get reinforced sails that would do the same thing.
What are we thinking? I mean, we should probably.
Is that right? Probably you could also at.
Least the sales. You want to reinforce the sales.
What? Yes, I think so.
OK, it'll be the same ratio. To increase it by one will cost
you 100 Pokémon dollars. Increase it by two will cost you
250. It is exponential, but it gives
you exponential benefit, if that makes sense.
Right. What do we think 16 or 17 or
sorry do? We have to do them separately
like obviously like. If you combo them, you'll get a
75% discount. Wow, now I have to do some
mental math. I'll do it for you if you tell
me what you want to do. Please.
So if you did a tier one of sale and hull it would be 125 Pokémon
dollars. You get 75% off 1 of.
Them, yes, correct. That makes sense because.
Overall, then you would just be saving a bunch of money.
So yeah. Right, this is what I might as
well just do that wrong. You buy both, you know we
cheaper than literally any individual.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
OK, that makes sense. Or.
You could also do 75% off each individually and then add that
together, so that'd be 75 + 75. Yeah, I already just calculated
it. So no, sorry, no, that's wrong.
Never mind. OK, forget what I said.
Yeah, I forgot it. It's fine.
I'm not good at math. I am also not good at math so
and then for for for two that would be 250 plus or for like
the two steps up it'd be 250 + 75% off 250.
Yes. Which would be should be easy.
It should be just. 25% of 250. Yeah, we'll round that to 187,
so. 187. That combo deal. 187 plus.
Would be 437. Got it, got it, got it.
Right. So do we want, do we want +2
ACDH or do we want plus one ACDH?
What is everyone? How's everyone feeling about
that? OK.
So it's like, you know, the 250 combo that was 312.5 seems
actually pretty reasonable all things considered.
Like the pricing of that's not too bad.
We all love doing math. So true.
Did you all sign for your roles for a captain, Sailor, Navigator
and mate? Yeah.
OK, when Schmidt goes to sign for captain, Lomas Briny has a
quick question. Lomas Briny dresses Schmidt and
says As captain of the vessel, I need you to know basic nautical
terms. I will ask you right now and you
will answer very quickly. As a proper captain, please
define the nautical directions of bow, stern, port and
starboard. Oh, port and starboard is left
and right. Which one is which?
Fuck you I. Say port left, starboard, right
bow front, and the last one stern back.
Yeah, Stern. OK, Little Miss Briny says
that's correct if what I want to call it.
Final question, if we're doing Roxanne's Gym all over again, if
your vessel was travelling backwards in the stern
direction, what would you call that movement?
Don't fucking know. This one isn't necessary for for
the role. You already aced it, but she
says that is called aft. Now you know if the winds are
ever blowing you backwards or if you need to turn around, that is
about aft. Just small talk.
Thank you. Small talk while the discussions
of upgrades are happening is all I was.
Trying to turn it into like a after these nuts or something
but I can't. You'll think of it later and
then you'll portal in and be like after these nuts.
Yeah, after these nut. Oh no.
So yeah, Tier 1 armor upgrades for rigging and hole.
Yeah. OK I give you an AC16 hole AC14
rigging for 125 Pokémon dollars. Again, this is your vessel that
you are renting, yet you are allowed to have modifications,
paint job, figurehead, anything colored sales.
I thought we did well. Oh yeah.
We weren't committing to the figurehead.
Huh? Correct.
No. Do we need?
I think. Can I put one of the said you
can get like focuses? Yes.
Can I put one of those on the front?
On the front, you absolutely may.
We're going to say those are 25. Why not?
OK, throw it on there. OK.
There's a focus on the front. So any range attack that is
fired through that focus will have an increased range.
It's really just kind of like a, a metal circle, kind of like a,
you know, but it's designed in such a way with a particular
metal that increases the range of range attacks.
Just want to make sure this is the boat of your dreams.
It's not the boat of my dreams, but.
Getting the particular pirate ship, I mean, you got pretty
close honestly. OK, if that's all of your
modifications, you are welcome to set sail.
If that is So, what you wish sail time.
Let's do it. Gamers, Gamers.
Gamers Gaming. All right, assume your
positions. We're going to say that there's
a rudder and we're going to say that's controlled by a steering
wheel of sorts. So we're going to say there's
like a dinky kind of modern looking steering wheel that the
captain will assume. Would you, Schmidt?
Hell yeah again you need a rigger slash sailor, but this
had this ship has particularly fancy sails that kind of auto
deploy, but you do kind of need to to adjust them manually.
So Gimli will assume the position grab me onto the ropes
ready to make it happen on the fly rail LED there's you did not
opt for the crows nest. However, towards the back of the
ship is kind of like a Cox in position more or less that you
can kind of perch up onto. There's like a railing if you so
wish to do so. And shall assume that position.
Assume the position. And then as the mate slash a
gunner, Cindy, you can kind of do whatever you want, but if
there's a threat, you do have a focus established that you can
blast fire through if you don't need it in the front.
So, so as the mate, you can kind of just do whatever.
First, let's get some things rolled.
For each Quacko Packo member, roll AD 4. 1.
Yeah, 3. 4. AD four, yes, that's right, 4.
1344 is what we got correct? Yes.
OK, perfect. As you are all on the ship
preparing to leave everything signed for Little Miss Brownie
observes as you were starting to drift away in the water
southwards, she says. Wait, I see on the rental
agreement you didn't name the boat.
What are you naming the vessel? Aft these nuts.
These. Nuts.
Is that easy? Is that these nuts or these
nuts? This is me asking, not Little
Miss Briny deez deez. So D EE ZNUTZTS, what's nuts?
Does that have AZ or an SI think?
Nuts has an S. OK, great.
So yeah, as you're starting to drift off into the ocean waters,
I'm guessing, Elodie shouts back at Little Miss Briny.
Deez Nuts. And Little Miss Briny kind of
just like gives the thumbs up and returns the shipyard and she
says bon voyage and you are all off on the Quacko Packo vessel.
Deez Nuts. I will need a Charisma check
from Schmidt, a Strength check from Gimli, a Wisdom check from
Elodie, and check of Cindy's choice from Cindy. 23 Nice. 19
that one on on LED very good, very cool indeed.
OK. I got a 15 on the dice so I
don't know what. Just ascribe that to anything I
want. I'll do that, OK.
Yeah. Cool.
The voyage begins. I don't know how much experience
any of these characters have had with seafaring, but it seems
that Gimli is like, pretty prepared for this.
He knows what he's doing. The wind is blowing not as a
tailwind, but it's also not a headwind.
It is more or less due West, so Gimli knows how to position the
sails. Schmidt has a pretty good hang
of the vessel. He's on the wheel, which
controls the rudder in the back, which more or less controls the
direction, and everyone trusts his handle of the vessel very,
very well. Cindy is kind of just, I don't
know what would Cindy be doing on the ship?
What do you think? Well, everyone's like doing
jobs. And stuff.
Looking for what? Threats.
Nice.
It was on. An episode of One Piece when
they were playing with the cannons and they were blowing up
like rocks that they're passing by.
Oh yeah. To have Cindy do that, just blow
up some rocks. Do you want to do that, Cindy?
Sure. Who's blowing up the rocks?
Probably Soli. Alpha Soli, are we committed?
No need for alpha soli, no, just just regular slowly right now.
OK. Through the forward focus or
just just doing? It rocks.
Just rocks around. OK, cool.
Yeah, Cindy. And maybe out of boredom or out
of entertainment of some sort for the crew, blows some fire
and some rocks that are on the rocky coast.
There's actually quite a bit like out further West in the
sea. It gets very rocky based on
rules I had you do earlier. The wind is blowing pretty
strong, but again, it is a neutral direction, which is
good. The weather right now is cloudy,
not necessarily good and not necessarily bad, but maybe it
might start to rain and this part of the sea which isn't
particularly known for strong currents.
So you're traveling at a pretty Dang good clip.
Ality has the map. Ality will say is just look down
at the map, looked at the sea, looks back down at the map,
looked at the sea and after land is off in the horizon she turns
about and realizes she does not know where the quacko Paco is on
these nuts. Just no clue which is great.
Let me you know is this is LED's fault so LED please roll AD 10
OK? 6.
OK, without any particular flavor unless you have any for
your seafaring she. She's probably trying to cover
up the fact that she doesn't know what's going on.
She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're, we're going the right
way, yeah. Yeah.
All right.
If our navigator has confidence in it, full speed ahead.
Zoom in straight ahead. Perfect.
Yep, I'm. Going to send out Jessica and
have Jessica, like, whip up a hurricane.
So like hurricane then let's go faster, yeah?
Oh yeah, we're committed. OK, we're getting.
There in less than a day. You're trying to hurricane like
in. Somewhere in.
The sails just like maybe like a light hurricane, like just wind
in the sails. Hurricane junior.
Yeah, have Jessica make a dex
check. Hurricane.
Oh my God, Jessica forgot how fucking dexterous.
OK, that's the 1717. Yeah.
The ship is kind of zooming.
It is going very fast for a ship of the size we are going to
approximate that it is kind of going at about 45 mph, which is
pretty fast for a little sailboat.
Direction wise, LD seems confident, Everyone else seems
confident. Gimli is manning the rigging
quite well. Cindy has been blown up rocks,
but as they get deeper into the water, there isn't very much
happening. Actually I need a Schmidt D20.
19. Schmidt Pierce to the West.
There he sees a series of kind of small islands, which is
peculiar for this oceanic route. But from his viewpoint he spots
something very, very peculiar, and that is on Route 105 he sees
a kind of a stone looking monument out in the middle of
the water. And that in itself isn't too
weird. But what is weird is that it's
completely covered in ice, which is strange because it's hot out.
It's probably like 7070° on a cloudy ocean day.
The breeze, the ocean breeze helps.
Of course, it doesn't feel that hot, but it's way too hot for
there to be ice. And furthermore, directly out
from this monument, there is a path of ice on top of the ocean
that goes directly West and then directly north beyond as far as
you can see past the horizon, there is a path of ice, which is
very, very odd. That is very unusual based on
Elodie's role from earlier, who hasn't rolled in a while.
Cindy roll AD 65. Cindy observing with no rocks to
blow up that sharp fins protrude out of the water nearby her
zooming as fast as the ship is or a clip of about 45 mph.
She counts a total of 7 blue fins poking out of the water and
one of them out in front of the ship that is a pinkish purple.
Does Cindy do anything about this?
Is that a shiny? Is that what Cindy does about
this? Does the fin look the same?
Like is it the same species of Pokémon just like a different
color? Correct, they are all vertical.
Assuming dorsal fins, they all look to be relatively the same
size. The alternately colored one is
quite a bit bigger, quite a bit taller, and it seems like it has
like they all have different notches in them.
Perhaps battle scars? So to speak.
They are very close to the ship kind of surrounding it I.
Think I'm going to have Solely and Izzy a little Izzy out since
Izzy is close to evolving and try and get some just a little
bit of fire at if if not like not really to kill them, but
just kind of minimum scare them off.
Like, hey, don't mess with us. We are intimidating these water
creatures, correct? Is the Paco informed on this or
city just kind of take an initiative?
I'm just going just to eat. I don't worry.
I got this. And then they're probably get
like real concerned. Got what?
Yeah, like what are you talking about it?
If Cindy intends to do this without the pack was permission,
please roll. What direction are you
targeting? They there's 8 creatures
surrounding the ship and the one in there's one directly in front
of the ship that has a larger pinkish fin.
Probably start with that one. OK, who?
What attack are you doing? Maybe just like a flamethrower
kind of cone out the front of the ship.
Like get as close to the front of the ship as to not light the
ship on fire and go out from there.
Love it and solely's doing it. Yes.
OK, that what is the save on that?
ADC 16 decks. OK, hold on.
Great. This creature rolled a 19 on
their Dexterity save. How much damage is that
resisted? OK, yeah.
They end up taking very little damage from this.
And the one that you targeted continues to zoom forward even
faster. Now at this point there is kind
of a Sonic looking ripple from where you targeted it that goes
around the ship. And then out of nowhere you hear
the gnashing of things. And now there are 7 funny stout
looking shark Pokémon that are all very agitated for some
reason, and they begin to try to gnaw on the whole of Deez Nuts,
rolling for seven chomps. 4 of them connect.
I don't have a character sheet for Deez Nuts yet, but it it'll
come I promise. Dealing a good old 55 points of
damage. Good thing you got that
reinforcement to the hole. Nothing in like integrally
failing for the vessel. There's no holes that will lead
to flooding. However these nuts is little
beat up and these sharks are mad and angry.
What is the Crack O Packers? Plan LED.
You're good at shiny Pokémon. Can you fix that?
What shiny, shiny Pokémon? I pointed the torpedo all the
way in the front. There is it just one gnawing at
it. Oh no, there's.
Seven. There are like 7 gnawing on the
ship. So this is a full blown problem.
The only one that hasn't attacked the ship is the one in
the front that is different colored and.
That's the one we're focused on. What seems to be the leader?
I would like to have cabbage go for a dazzling gleam against the
sharp pedos. Sure, that's really good.
I like that, we will say. That other than the bullshit I
was planning, we. Will say that they are evenly
distributed, so yeah, we'll say that there's one in the front,
one of the back and then three on each side.
This vessel that we are in what what do we think is the?
The deck size of Deez Nuts. On the smaller side, because
it's a little shit. It is, but it has an under deck
as well. I mean, it's not like a rowboat.
We're going to say it's a comfortably fit 4 of you.
We're going to say that it occupies, it's not exactly 20
feet wide, but we'll say 20 feet wide because looking at like a
battle map kind of thing, that's what would make sense to fit all
of you on it. And we'll say that it is 30 or
35 feet long. What you guys prefer Is Deez
Nuts, long or short? How big are Deez Nuts?
We going for girth or length. Length we already.
Did 20 feet wide. Yeah, we've established girth.
Oh, right, true. Sorry.
Yeah, I say length. We'll be a shower, not a grower.
Yeah, I agree. 25 S 25 by 20 that's AI thought it.
Was 30. 35 Yeah, that's better. I didn't.
I'm having trouble hearing you. Maybe I'm just not listening.
Well, 3535 by 20. That works.
Chunky boy, but not like weirdly chunky, just a good and it's
closer to 15/16/17 wide, but just for the purposes of a map,
we'll call it 20. OK, OK great.
Based on this quick doodle that I've done, there's shark in the
front, shark in the back, three on each side.
You could target either 2 if you wanted to go for a bow or stern
one, or if you are attacking port or starboard you could hit
3. Yeah, we'll go for it.
We'll go for a quantity. Here.
I will attack 3. OK.
Can I do a poison gas on the other side of the ship it?
Might be initiative time I think.
OK, let's jump into a gamers. Gaming gamers.
What is initiative based on its X?
It's a. 7. OK. 14.
Nice dirty 20. He's raring to go.
Gimme in there, put me in there, Coach Gimley.
I don't know, I'm sorry. I'm I don't know where the
country accent from. It's when you're on the sea, the
country comes. Out 15.
Wait, we all have to use? Pirate accents are.
You do that is. Prepare for battle.
He's not. Prepare for battle, matey.
Great. Sorry, Schmidt.
What'd you get, 14? Yeah, OK.
I would just like it to be on the record.
That it What the Deez Nuts joke wasn't me this time.
Yeah, it was. Somebody else decided to name
it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Cindy gets to take credit for that one.
Yeah. So I just wanted to be on the
record. Good name for a ship.
OK, so the way that this turned out it is actually LDS turn
anyways. So are you attacking the port
sharks or the starboard sharks? Let's go starboard, baby.
OK. Do you know what direction that
is? It's OK if you don't.
I think it's right. It is.
Do you want to know my mnemonic for that?
Yeah, I would. I would actually like to know
that. Please.
It's because all starfish are right-handed.
That's my little trick. That's my, that's my little.
Thing, you know, know if that's true, but I'm going to believe
you on that. Well, you can't determine which
of the starfish's hand is right because they're stars, so.
They don't have hands, I think. There's that too, yeah.
Anyways, yes, the starboard side roll me a dazzling gleam or no,
they save, right? Yes, yes.
What's the 16? Charisma?
Charisma. Why did I give you that attack
for sharks? Oh God, they're not charismatic
at all. Fail, pass fail.
One was in that one, so. That's good.
Fabulous. Also, if they fail by 5 or more,
they're blinded for a round. The one the one that wasn't a
crit did not fail by 5 or more. They were close.
So the crit 1 is going to get fucked up and the other ones are
just going to be chilling. That's AKO this.
Actually. OK, so I will roll damage and
then we just add like the the highest damage for the one that
got crit correct? The crit is going to take no, so
the crit gets by default the maximum damage possible, and
then you add what you roll on top of that.
Right. OK, that's what I thought.
OK, yeah, gotcha. All right, we roll in.
Oh, and this is this super effective?
It is. So that's double the dice.
Correct cabbage is out here. Right now cabbage is out here
all right. Oh Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry to
these sharpedoes. They're goners.
The rolls came out to a total of 50.
Nice. And then what's your default 8
damage? 48 + 7, so that's 8 * 4. 39.
730-3939 OK 50 So that'd be 89 damage to the critical hitted
shark pedo. Yeah, he's blinded.
OK, absolutely. He's still alive.
Cabbage releases fairy lights from her creamy body, and they
bombard the sharks. One of them feels particularly
bombarded, and their eyes go crisscross for this to, you
know, make sense in this combat. They all just finished attacking
the ship. So they're all kind of like
gnawing on wood and armor kind of.
And they're all kind of facing the ship while they're zooming.
So they all saw the the dazzling lights and one of them got
particularly messed up and he's he starts to like swim away and
then let's out a kind of sound and charges forward to in like a
Marco Polo kind of sense because the other sharks are like man
and he's like and they're communicating to help stay on
track, but he is blinded for a round.
Nice swing from cabbage. Anything else reality.
I will take out Key Lime for my action.
OK, Key Lime comes out. Little Robo never been on the
ocean before. What will Key Lime do?
We'll find out next time. Roof acts.
Gimli, you're next. You were just pulling on the on
the sails. What is Gimli's course of action
here in this shark scenario? Yes, I got to pull out somebody.
Who do I want to bring? I mean, you don't have to.
There could be alternatives, I don't know.
I'm. Trying to think what
alternative. Yeah, you just punch a shark,
you know? Just.
Gimli dives into the water. The port and starboard ones are
close enough because they were just chewing on the ship.
Oh Oh yeah, this is a pretty low ship, huh?
Yeah. Peru.
Pick one up and throw it. I do want to take a shark and
throw it at the other sharks. OK, Yeah.
It won't be easy. But it is.
Possible. Do you choose a port or
starboard shark? Port.
OK. There's three of them, like
we'll say 123 N to South. Which one do you want to try and
pick up? I want to take the the N 1 and
swing it into the other two. OK, I want to say this will be
hard and you could also revoke an opportunity attack.
I just want to make sure you're familiar with the terms here.
That's fine. OK.
You said the top most shark, right?
Yeah. OK.
I can't see a way to flavor this as strength for you.
I'm going to have to make it decks so make ADC 14 dexterity
check to pick up the shark. 15. Oh my God, you did it, the mad
lad. Yeah.
Gimli is aware of the shark attack based on the boat rocking
back and forth. He runs the port side, sticks
his hands in the water and pulls out a shark.
What will he do with the shark? I'm.
Going to swing into the other two sharks.
Great. This can be strength.
We'll say this is. Yeah.
It's more fun if you roll to hit rather than make it a save.
We'll just say you It'll work for both.
Yeah, roll to hit them with the shark. 21 to hit.
Yeah, that's fantastic. Do you have any flavor for
throwing the shark at the sharks?
Is it just as simple as it sounds, you say?
It like a like it's like a shark pedo, right?
Yeah. So I'm using it like a club.
I've decided by the fin teeth out just swinging at the other
two. Oh, you're holding.
Oh, you're batting at them. Yeah, I'm still using.
It like I thought you were throwing them.
Wow, OK that's sick. This shark pedo does not love
that, but it is effective. That makes even more sense.
Their armor class is 15. So I will give you what's If
you're using a shark as an improvised weapon, what bonus
should you get? I'm going to say 5.
Give yourself a + 5 bonus for armor class 15 to hit.
We'll give you a multi tech. Why not?
Because it's cool for both of the sharks.
Roll to hit. I did.
I got AI, got a 21 to swing, yeah.
Oh, OK, and since we're using it as a club, roll another one for
the other shark. OK.
I was picturing a throw but now it's a it's a weapon so.
OK, OK, I got a 22 to hit the other.
Shark. OK, Yeah, great roll.
I'll just give you one of their attacks and do typeless damage.
So roll 6D6 plus it's not your attack plus 366 + 3. 25 damage.
OK, great. We'll just make it 25 for each.
Also, we will do half of that to the shark that you were holding.
Nice. Great.
Gimli does exactly as described, picks a shark out of the sea,
bashes other sharks with it. They are upset, they are
frustrated. We're going to consider the
shark that's being used as a weapon as being grappled.
It will try to break free next at the start of its next turn,
which is at the top of initiative.
So just keep that in mind. Great.
Anything else for GIVE ME HERE? No, I'm good.
OK, great. Love it.
Schmidt, you're up. So who's left on the boat?
Yeah, we're still. On the boat, but.
All the sharks are still attached to the boat.
Or oh, no, sorry. So the port and starboard
sharks, there's three on each side.
They're all pretty close to the boat.
There's a stern shark and a bow shark, and they're a little more
further away. They're we're going to say
they're 15 feet out. OK, so nobody's munching at the
moment. Not the moment.
I don't have much I can do in this situation.
You can just throw out a a random check maybe if you don't
have a plan. Or you can, you know, take your
time, come up with something too.
Yeah, they're all just like at range, just kind of the issue.
The ones on the sides are effectively melee range.
They're like 5 feet, right? I have an idea, it's really
risky. I don't think we can do it.
Let's hear it. No, I think I'm just going to
hold my action, OK. I will let you hold your action
just for fun. Give me AD 20.
I won't count this towards your turn.
Economy 88. OK, noted.
Very well. You may interject whenever until
it is your turn again to use an action.
Cindy, what are you doing? I am going to have Izzy on the
side of the boat that I guess Elodie attacked with the
Dazzling Gleam and have Izzy like throw some poison gas into
the like over the edge and towards the water if that makes
sense. Instead of like getting poison
gas on the boat. Sure, trying to like direct it
down because it's technically a radius.
Yeah, over which edge of the ship?
The starboard side. OK.
We're ready, as Ling gleamed. Perfect.
Yeah, you can totally do that. Just kind of drop down some
poison gas. Yes.
Cool the the properties. Con Save.
OK. Yeah.
The properties of the gas, just so you know, and for flavor,
it's denser than air but not as dense as water.
So it'll kind of linger on the top of the water.
And your attack logically will be successful in this scenario.
Just So, what was the DC again? DC-12 Con Save.
Three sharks rolling for con, pass, fail and fail.
Please roll for damage and describe the effects.
I believe they take full damage. If they fail, they get poisoned.
Right. That is 9 damage for all of
them, unless they resist poison. I don't know.
They do not, in fact. And yeah, they all take a good
chunk of poison damage and the center most and stern most
sharks on the starboard side are not poisoned.
Way to go. They kind of like cough and hack
and they're like, and they are ferocious and angry.
Very good for Cindy. Anything else for Cindy's?
Term I do still have solely out what can solely do.
This might be a little bit of a weird 1.
So I know baby doll eyes is supposed to be like a reaction.
Correct. But can I use have solely used
baby doll eyes to like charm the shiny one that's like a leader?
The issue with that is that it's not looking at you.
I'm not one to say no to creative ideas.
If you can somehow get the shark to look at you, I'll make it
happen. But just physically this isn't
won't be successful in the way that this combat is currently
lined out, if that makes sense. OK.
Maybe Soli can like roar not the move but like make the noise
like roar. Maybe it'll look back.
To gather attention, yes, yeah, sure.
So you can definitely do that. I'm wondering what kind of check
that would be. I almost want to call it like
Pokémon handling, but you could also flavor it as maybe
intimidation, although that probably be yeah, just make it
make it a Charisma check. Why not?
That's a 19. 19 that will succeed.
So that's a rather threatening roar, particularly northwards
towards the bow side of the ship.
And it does gather the attention of the northernmost torpedo and
it kind of turns one of its eyes towards Cindy and solely.
And solely is going to look real cute and use baby doll eyes.
As a reaction, sure, we'll plug that in.
Why not? And that automatically succeeds,
right? Yes.
OK, we will allow it. The front most shark is somewhat
charmed and if it attempts something it may not go the way
it wants it to. That's it for Cindy.
Yep. Time for the sharks.
The sharpedoes somehow communicate to each other in the
water. Who knows how?
Not me, I'm not a shark. But they know how and they are
doing it very successfully. They coordinate an attack
between all 7 non shiny sharpedoes to attack one
Pokémon, and that Pokémon is Cabbage.
What is Cabbage's armor Class 16?
OK, cool, let's see how many of them hit.
I think also the one that Gimli's holding unless he made
the check. Oh, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true. I did say at the start of his
turn he would try and break 3 but break free.
So maybe we'll do that first. Opposing strength check.
Sharpito versus Gimli, Are you ready?
Yes. OK, they got a natural 20.
I didn't. That'll be hard to beat.
Yeah, I didn't beat that. So at the start of their turn,
the the call is somehow communicated, whether it's
through a gnashing of teeth or telepathically or something for
the sharks to coordinate and attack.
The shark that Gimli was holding wriggles free.
Rather than deciding to attack Gimli, it's going to heed the
call of its brethren and leap towards Cabbage.
All but one of the sharks were able to successfully land an
attack onto Cabbage, gnashing their teeth, pulsing through
their teeth, sharp water, if that makes any sort of sense.
Like they line their teeth with water and they leap out of the
sea and the one leaps out of Gin his hands and six incoming
attacks to cabbage. One moment.
It's a lot of math. I'm scared.
I am also scared. This is the most dice I've ever
rolled for an attack. Oh God.
No. One by one they leap out of the
water and chomp on the cabbage, dealing a total of 160 points of
water type damage into cabbage in a multi attack.
Cabbage has fainted. Cabbage has fainted, A ruthless
shark attack that not many can withstand.
What's cabbage's base HP? 123.
OK. She's she's not dead.
We're fine. OK.
The one that missed took. A nap.
The one that missed. Yes, just needs a little nappy
time. The one that missed was the
blinded one just couldn't figure it out.
Just, you know, he did the call and then just kind of bonked
head first into the ship and everyone bite them.
Yeah, but it is clear that these sharks mean business.
For what reason are they mad at Deez Nuts in the Quacko Packo?
We may never know, but their onslaught?
There would be someone flank there with them unprovoked.
Their onslaught continues. It is now L DS term.
Fabulous. I'm starting to wonder if
perhaps this encounter is worth it, because that was a lot of
damage, admittedly targeted. They rolled well, what were you
saying? I don't think it was worth it to
begin with, but here we are dealing with.
It I mean like here started it so.
That is true. Somebody here started it.
I won't name names though. Are they now all sort of
centralized in one area? They've reformed to their
position, some of them may have swapped as they leaped over the
ship to gnaw in the cabbage, but they are still in the same
formation. One of the front, one of the
back, three on each side. Can I?
You can do a hold. Interaction.
So yeah, I guess this would be kind of more reactionary, like
the ones that are trying to jump back across the ship.
Can I have quacko like try to leaf blade one of those?
Because you were holding your action.
I will allow it. Absolutely.
OK, Because we can say that you did that as they were doing
that. So you want to leaf blade,
you're going just for one of them?
Yeah, I guess that's the only reasonable way to do it when
there's chaotic 6 sharks, 7 sharks jumping across the ship.
Yeah, I guess it doesn't make sense for you to target one, but
I will choose one. Or you know what?
We'll, we'll let you, we'll just say I'll, I'll assign each P
values to their positions between the three on the on each
side and then one in the back. Do you have one preference that
you'd want to get rid of? I don't really have a
preference. OK, we'll just let it swing,
then I'll put it in. There one that already has
damage on it. Yes, they actually all have
damage on them except for the one in the back.
OK, who's the most fucked up? The blinded one who is * bird on
the bottom. OK.
In fact, sorry that. OK, you know what that that
works because they failed their attack.
So they probably failed in the air for a little bit because
they couldn't get the cabbage. That makes that works perfectly.
They were blinded at the time, so I will give you advantage to
hit. OK, so with the leaf blade and
leak stack that's only 19 to the crit hers that 18.
That's. 18 OK, I rolled an 18 on the dice.
Perfect. So that's a crit.
That sure is a crit. That's a super effective crit.
That is, what's the damage formula?
3D 8 + 4. There is no world where this
Sharpedo will not faint, so you don't need to roll damage unless
you want to. No, I'm good.
OK, great. The previously blinded Sharpedo
is knocked out. You've removed one of them.
Nice job as Quacko slices through with the leaf blade for
the one whose eyes went Askew from the Dazzling Gleam earlier,
and it plops into the water and it does not keep up, it just
floats there. Nicely done that, Schmidt, and
you'll still get your turn as normal.
Did you have a bonus action or anything?
Not really, no. OK.
We will return to Elody. Hello, Elody.
Hi, how's it going? Can I have Key Lime mimic
dazzling gleam? The move is mimic correct?
Yes. Yes, that is an action I
believe, right? Right.
If you didn't automatically return cabbage to her pokeball,
then I will say yes, which is fine because you can just do
that now that's your turn. If you had this intention in
mind, it would work. So yes, I will say yes.
OK. Let me give you a damage formula
for Key Lime. It's probably different I'm.
Wondering if this was worth it because her stats are different.
I keep Key Lime's damage will be two D 8 + 6, the same as psycho
cut but range and multi hit and the DC is 14.
That's fine actually. I mean, they're not very
charismatic, so it's probably not a huge deal.
So did we decide whether or not I can then use it or it would
just mimic just mimics it and I'm done with with that move?
Mimic is just mimic, unfortunately, OK copycat you
get to use right away because it's like more committal kind
of, I don't know. Perfect.
Segway. So Aubergine, I think still
being in Elodie's bag. Yeah.
Does that count as her like being out?
Like what? I need an action to bring her
out. Sure we can.
She'll be there. Elodie won't be able to do
anything this turn herself, but yes, we can allow that.
Can I then copycat Dazzling Glean with aubergine?
Granted you are targeting cabbage still, yes.
OK cool. Because otherwise you would
copycat name it which is just comp.
Copycat mimic, which mimics dazzling.
No. OK, yeah, you can do that.
Target cabbage. OK, cool.
OK, give me a second to generate another form below.
Yeah, sorry, it's totally fine. It's a cool mechanic, but.
I'm triple dazzling, gleaming. Yeah, I'm getting crazy.
Oh my God. L DS on another level.
Here it's the same DC. Use that.
The damage is actually pretty good.
It's two D 8 + 3 so it's really not bad.
For a baby, pretty good, yeah. All right.
So I will go ahead then and have opportune use that that copycat,
OK. So they will need to make that
safe. OK.
And as this is the starboard side correct?
Starboard. Yeah, we'll go starboard side
again you. Guys will not forget these
nautical directions now that we have combat, they are ingrained.
My my goals of this campaign is achieved.
This is all I wanted was for you guys to learn these.
Pirate episode real? Seriously.
Starboard Shark 1 failed. Starboard Shark 2 passed.
Let's roll some damage. Let's see it.
That will do 23 damage. Nice, a good hit.
Did he did he fail by more than 5?
The one that failed did. Yes, Blinded.
Let me do some math. Yeah, Aubergine witnessing Key
Lime and Mimic literally mimic the attack that Cabbage just
used before Cabbage unfortunately fainted, Aubergine
was like, I'm going to copy it too, it was great.
Aubergine does a little flip as copycatters do, and fires off
shimmering gleams from its body as a technique it didn't know it
was capable of. It fires off into the remaining
2 sharks on the starboard side, hitting both of them for super
effective, very type damage and even knocking one of them out.
It floats away into the water and Aubergine feels very proud
of her achievements and begins to evolve.
And let's go. Aubergine glows a brilliant
white light and emerges from the other side a larger, fiercer,
more sneaky looking cat named Leipard.
So congratulations. No more cat in the bag unless
they get a really bag Dick bag. Cat's out of the bag.
That's be a. Good movie for this episode,
yeah. It's all it took was Deez Nuts
to get the can out of the bag. Autumn.
Anything else for L DS turn? No, that will be all.
Good turn, way to go. I mean, you did lose cabbage,
but you know. Oh wait, actually real quick
because it is a bonus action. Can I party time?
Somebody who wants a party time. Sure, you should give it to one
of the sharks. No, I can.
What is the party time bonus? 1D8 to use whenever you want.
Damage or. If you want.
OK, I got some horseshit cooking if you want to throw it on me.
Sure, I'll lay it on you. Onto Schmidt or onto a Pokémon?
Would you prefer? I would.
Prefer a Pokémon? OK, then I will lay it on.
Either OK, that works. Question mark.
Yeah, that works. We'll lay it on Paco.
You do that just for flavor. What is the nature of this
inspiration? Question.
I think Aubergine and Key Lime are going to synchronize their
moves as they they were both sort of trying to do the same
thing there and perhaps sort of a dancing fashion in a way that
hopefully Quacko will enjoy. Oh, does that proc dancer in
some way? Jessica can get AD 4 -, 1 of
inspiration, we'll say for herself, we'll allow it.
Perfect. They're dancing, they're
dancing, they're dancing. Yeah, it's successful.
It all. I mean, part of inspiration
always works. But.
Or should I say Elodie's party time.
But yeah, nicely done. Adulus.
That's it for Elodie Gimli. You're up.
The shark wriggled out of your hands, unfortunately, but here
you are. Grab the shiny one.
Yeah, how is the, how's the proximity looking these sharks
right now? Bow and aft are 15 feet and this
port and starboard are like melee range.
There are two sharks on the starboard side.
Sorry one. There's one shark on the
starboard side now. 3 port, 1 bow, 1 stern.
Who do I want to smack in the OR can I just eat something?
Regalad to copy. The to copy the copy the copy,
yeah. Honestly, yeah, we could do
that. That would be your full action
economy, but you can do it. Yeah, I will actually take that
full action economy for Regalad to copycat the copycat of the
copycat. Of oh God, the cat is truly out
of the bag. There's so many cats out of the
bag. Give me a second.
Regalad's me to get my story straight.
Oh, it doesn't work well on Bregalade the.
Empire State. We.
Really do just need to sink. We need to get.
This is the karaoke episode. We're all fighting sharks.
What is Bregalade's decks since Charisma scores?
Dex is 8, Charisma's 10. OK I just want to double check.
Those are the 2 stats the dazzlingly utilizes and those
both pretty bad. But it's a super effective
attack that hits multiple so why not your your DC for them is 12
charisma and your damage is 4D6 with no bonuses.
Could be worse. It will be super effective.
So it's 8D6. You know it's not bad.
So true. Yeah.
So which side are you targeting? Port starboard or sterner bow.
What has the most? Port Port has three sharks.
Or you could target the northernmost port shark and the
leader. I called them the leader.
Cats out of the back. Sorry guys.
No way I'll target the three. OK, they are rolling DC-12
Charisma pass, pass. They meet.
They all pass unfortunately. But you do get that 46-O86
damage. 29 damage. 29 pretty good.
Worth it. Very worth it.
That's a significant amount of damage.
Doing a dance. Yeah, Sue Wouldo, as is
tradition, does a whole ass flip, rocking these nuts a
little bit and lands and shoots out sparkling lights from his
hands slash branches and they all dazzle the sharks.
They seem like they were more prepared for it this time
around, but they all take a good chunk of damage.
It looks like one or two of them is pretty beat up.
And that should be everything for Gimli.
We're back to Schmidt. Smith's been cooking.
Yeah, I think cooking remind me positioning of everything.
Again, there's one front three behind us.
There's one front, one back, one starboard in the middle of the
ship, and then three port. OK, so on the port side, you
know how hurricane in the games, it's like a tornado that just
like appears on top of them. Yeah.
Can I tornado, can I hurricane them to knock them up and then
while they are knocked out of the water have quacko leaf blade
one of them? So you're targeting the
hurricane into the water? Yeah, just to kind of like a
knock them out of the water. OK, so we can do it.
Yes, we will definitely let that happen.
We can do it as it is crowd control and damage, and then the
DC will go up, or we can just do crowd control and the DC will
stay the same. They have to make the save so I
can't Elodie's party time. Anything with that or the
discount party time I can throw it on damage?
I want to find a way that makes sense that you could give it to
that. Maybe like subtract the D4 from
their role for the save just? Roll the D4 and tell me what it
is. That's a three.
OK. Perfect, I'll subtract -1 would
be a 2. Yes, I'll I'll do that.
That's perfect. I'll subtract 1 from each of
their saves. Does that work?
Because it's. Like, yeah.
OK. The DC-17.
So DC-16 now. Yes.
Is it dex? I think it.
Is strength. Save strength, save OK.
Yeah. Rolling for each shark for ADC
16 strength save. That's a fail on the first one.
That's a fail on the second one if they.
Fail by 5 or more, they're confused, and if they fail by 10
or more, they're knocked prone. I don't know how prone works in
the ocean, but. Yeah, true.
I don't know, but it won't matter.
The first one failed by 5 or more, the second one failed to
got very close to the save, and then the third one passed.
And that's from North to South order, or should I say bow to
stern. OK so 2 got knocked up, 1 is
confused. Correct.
Yeah, the the the stern most 1 did not get knocked up, but it
did take damage. OK, can I have the one that did
not get confused? Quacko leaf blade, that one.
Yes, the middle one. Go for it. 1616 hit does break
the armor class. Fuck yeah, let's go 23.
Nice. Yeah, that's exactly what you
needed. The middle shark pedo on the
port side gets knocked out from the sick combo of Jessica's
swirling her wings around to throw two of the sharks up in
the air. Quacko seize the opportunity to
slice one with his leaf blade. It gets knocked probably 20-30
feet out in the ocean and the flops in the water and floats
there as the ship zooms by. This 45 mile per hour combat,
almost half of the sharks have been eliminated.
Does Schmidt have any additional flavor or anything he wants to
do? Nope.
Nicely done captain of Deez Nuts.
Cindy, you are up. Say it like.
That that's the truth. What do you want?
The captain of my nuts. True.
OK, All right. I don't.
Want that? That's too.
Much responsibility. Who who?
Sharks are left. Leader Bow 2 Port 1 Starboard 1
Stern The Stern 1 hasn't received or the one Stern and
bow ones have not received any damage.
One of the port ones is also confused.
Correct. The northern the the bow most
port one is confused. OK, how far away is Leader?
15 feet off the front of the ship.
OK, so a dark pulse would hit. You could correct.
We're going to go for a Dark pulse, OK from solely.
What's the means of that? Is a Saber roll to hit?
I am rolling to hit OK that is a Nat 20.
That's a critical hit that will in fact hit.
Also, it flinches. Leader.
Leader flinches. That's a good thing, I.
Don't want to kill it though. It's it's out.
Of here you can choose. To knock it out, I think, right?
And then just catch it like once it's knocked out.
I don't think they they have to be conscious.
However you can two things here. Two things you can say that you
are having, I forget the word, the D&D term.
Not lethal damage. Not only like a restrained blow,
kind of. Additionally, even though this
is a crit, this is resisted. So OK, it's not a ton of damage
and this is definitely the most powerful looking member.
OK, well let's see what the damage is and go from there.
Yeah. So you'll have your dice and
then that will be the the crit damage and then you'll roll the
hit or sorry, then you'll roll damage but half so.
So it's 22 damage. Nice and a flinch, which is very
valuable. And a flinch, yeah, So it's not
knocked out, it's just. It is not even close actually.
OK. Very good.
Anything else for Cindy? Izzy is also out, so let's see
what Izzy can do. Let's do like the poison gas off
the front of the ship it is. A.
Mechanically, I I don't want to be a naysayer and I'm often not,
but based on the far. Away to move.
No, based on the speed of the ship.
I mean, I'm not a physicist, but if you're firing like a dense
gas at a target 15 feet away, I don't think it wouldn't connect
with them and it would just blow back in your face on the sides.
It works, but I don't think you can do it forwards
unfortunately, Yeah. That's correct.
Please don't try. OK, but we got smog, which is.
A 10 foot that I. Could put 40 feet away.
You could. It would appear there.
It would probably. If you do it in front of the
ship, it will blow back towards the ship.
Please don't hurt us. OK, let's do, let's do a smog
off the side of the ship with the most sharks.
Is that? Port that is port.
Look you guys using the directions.
This is so satisfying. So this will smog the port side
so it's a 10 foot cloud. Yeah.
And it'll drift because it won't sink into the water, it'll stay
on top, so you can hit both of them no problem.
Any creature that starts their turn must succeed on a con save.
They won't be starting their turns there, but you can just
use it as an attack if you want. Yeah, so it's ADC 12 con save.
Great shark number one fails. Shark #2 fails.
They both fail. Did they?
Did anybody fail by 5 or more? They both failed by 5 or more.
Great, they're both poisoned. Wow, we have three poison
sharks. That's great because the one on
the starboard side is also poison. 10 damage.
Nice. All right.
Yeah. A successful poison type attack
from Izzy poisoning many of the sharks.
They are all starting to seem generally concerned as a pack,
little less confident, they're not feeling too great.
And while they rely on their leader for instructions, the
leader has flinched so isn't really able to command anything.
So they're, they're struggling, they're having a time.
Anything else for Cindy? I guess I I'll just like, shout
at the leader, like, do you want to be my friend?
You're here, Kitty Kitty in the Leader Shark.
I guess so. OK, you can roll a very high DC
charisma check. What's your Christmas score?
That's a great question. Cindy's is +2.
OK, understood. This is very unlikely you will
have. I got a what'd you get?
I got a 14. OK, yeah, this shark has no
interest in being your friend, but you have gathered its
attention. While it is technically
flinched, the sharks are shooting into chaos.
They do not have a leader giving commands this turn, so they
aren't quite sure what to do. So as any reasonable sharks
would, the four of them that are not the leader just decide to
munch on the boat. They three of them are poisoned.
One of them is confused. We will see how this goes with
the armor class of 16. Well, they actually did pretty
well despite the circumstances. So the confused one actually
hurt themselves in confusion. So they are not doing much.
The other three successfully get some noms on They they chew on
the chip a little bit. They rock the boat, dealing a
good thirty hit points worth of damage.
I think before that, yeah, they did 55 S The ship has taken a
