Return to 50 Fathoms Recap #38: Norwhales and Revenge Served Cold

 Sunday November 6, 2022@ 12:30-4:00 P.M.

 < WARNING SPOILERS FOR 50 FATHOMS AHEAD MATEY!!>  

DAY 315
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: SNOW
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

      [Chessie gained a Sidekick, a Half-Ugak called Pinecone. He has a delusion that all Kraken are gods and a singing habit that is a major annoyance. Pinecone is a pirate archetype kind of character who has Dirty Fighting to start. With it being Nimue's sidekick it was an odd choice for this delusion to not be Atani are gods. Shrugs in GM.]

      Pinecone greeted Tar-Tar who he claimed was his friend. Tar-Tar disavowed knowing him at all. Pinecone bowed down and worshiped Horventerous saying, "I am not worthy!" He then brought out his ocarina and started playing it while singing. Tar-Tar was not amused and ended up sticking tentacle vine leaves in his ears to try to drone out the sound. Unfortunately for Tar-Tar, the sounds of Pinecone through the vines sounded like bird chirps and he felt a sudden shudder from his fear of birds. The cold that surrounded him was unsettling and he missed the heat of the jungles of Torath-Ka (He gained Cryophobia minor from this).
      Natsu-Nara collapsed from the strain of casting fire element spells as an earth elementalist and Draco took him below deck to rest.

      Chug succeeded at tracking down the Norwhale. Or rather the Norwhale successfully tracked them down, as an icy blast from the Norwhale's blowhole froze the La Arcadia in place again.
      Overcoming his fear of the cold, Tar-Tar fired his cannon that cracked the ice where the cannonball struck.      

[Shaune played Epiphany to gain a d6 shooting for the session. Which helps against All Thumbs and No shooting skill]

      Horventerous cast fire bolt from his scepter of fire twice to melt the ice. 

[Andrew played Adrenaline Surge to pull this off. But also 8 out 10 power points gone from the scepter to do heavy bolts.]

     Suddenly free of the ice, Chug moved La Arcadia close, surprising the Norwhale. Horventerous cast blast on the Norwhale but it seemed to bounce off its blubber. Tar-Tar fired his cannon but missed. Two of the sailors fired cannons. One shot missed and the other bounced off the Norwhale's hide.  Nimue fired her cannon and wounded the left pectoral fin of the Norwhale.   

        The disorientated Norwhale submerged to avoid being struck by an iceberg remnant of its own icy blast.  

     The norwhale resurfaced far away from La Arcadia and ran into a few icebergs.

[This caused another level of Fatigue for the Norwhale as it failed a complication roll.]   

 

       Chug sailed La Arcadia next to the dizzied Norwhale. Horventerous cast blast on the Norwhale and wounded it. Tar-Tar and the crew fired their cannons but missed. Nimue fired her cannon and finished off the Norwhale.

       Tar-Tar borrowed Draco's seal suit and swam into the Cold Sea with Horventerous and Chug. Pinecone took the wheel for Chug. 

[With Red Pirate Roberts dead, the two best boating characters (Chug and Pinecone) on the team have a d8 and the All Thumbs hindrance. Well at least they have Ace right?]

      Chug sliced off the Norwhale's horn, surfaced, and threw it at Nimue, who caught it in a feat of agility. Horventerous and Tar-Tar gutted the beast. They found 1,000 pieces of eight and a ring of environmental protection (water) in its belly.
      With his crew and his ship, the Fearless, avenged, Rikas Russ asked to join the crew of La Arcadia for 50 pieces of eight or that they return him to Kaja, Arfk to find another ship. Captain Cyrus Black paid him and he joined the crew.

[Randall played Favor of the Gods so they managed to sail back from the east part of Arfk to near the center of Arfk near Kaja in one day, as I allowed it to double their travel speed for one day only.]

DAY 316
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: SNOW
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

[I flipped a King of Clubs on encounter check, so The Destroyer and Blackbeard appeared!] 

      Blackbeard had been sailing The Destroyer and tracking La Arcadia all the way from Pirate Sea through the Flotsam Sea. The incredible speed of La Arcadia had made it difficult to catch up, but by turning around, Blackbeard finally had his chance for revenge.

      The Destroyer moved towards La Arcadia but Chug outmaneuvered Blackbeard.

  
     Horventerous cast blast and hit The Destroyer's hull. 

 

       The Destroyer went off course and struck an iceberg, causing more damage to the hull. 

[Failed the out of control roll and complication. To make it worse, I rolled a 4 on regeneration for The Destroyer. Then the group got the Joker] 

 

     Horventerous cast blast and hit The Destroyer's hull a second time. Tar-Tar and the crew fired four cannons. Tar-Tar hit The Destroyer's powder stores and sunk it!

 

       The Destroyer's zombie crew went limp becoming inanimate corpses that soon started to sink to Davy Jones's Locker. This left Blackbeard treading water and vulnerable. 

[Andrew and Randall both got Jokers and it was very bad for Blackbeard.]

      Chug rushed to the bulwark of La Arcadia and used his Harpoon Gun to shoot Blackbeard, wounding him. 
      Horventerous summoned a nearby Norwhale by casting beast friend. The Norwhale missed Blackbeard with a swallow attempt.  

[19 power points for Size 8!]

       Chug retracted the Harpoon Gun and brought Blackbeard aboard. He kicked him in the gut and caused a wound.
       Blackbeard brought out a cutlass and swung at Chug twice, but the strikes bounced off Chug's plate corselet.
       Tar-Tar swung his hatchet and buried it in Blackbeard's chest. Blackbeard went limp.
       Chug ripped off Blackbeard's brace of six pistols and Horventerous took a ring off of his finger. Then Chug removed his harpoon from Blackbeard's chest and threw his body into the Cold Sea.
       Horventerous had the Norwhale eat Blackbeard and then leave. 

[For those GMs playing at home, I rolled a 1 on Harder to Kill, so Blackbeard is really dead.] 

DAY 317-319
PLACE: COLD SEA TO PIRATE SEA

      La Arcadia sailed from near Kaja, Arfk circling around the Flotsam Sea into the Whip Islands. 

DAY 320
PLACE: PIRATE SEA NEAR WHIP ISLANDS
WEATHER: OVERCAST
TIME OF DAY: MORNING

      A pirate galleon sailed out from behind one of the Whip Islands and moved towards La Arcadia. The pirate galleon was about to fire when a rolling fog cloud got in the way of their sight lines and they veered off left. Chug had La Arcadia roll right to avoid the fog cloud and potentially hit unseen flotsam in the sea.

[The luck continued for the group with yet another Joker. You may have noticed that I switched the positions of the ships with La Arcadia at the top in this battle. That way I could tell the two ship battles apart since I used the same purple ship.]     

      Horventerous cast blast and the hull of the pirate galleon buckled. Tar-Tar, Nimue, and the crew fired four shots at the pirate galleon. Nimue's shot tore through the weakened parts of the hull and it started taking on water.    

 

 

 

       The pirate galleon listed and wheeled aimlessly as the crew tried to repair the breach in the hull. Nimue shot the cannons again and destroyed the pirate galleon.

      Horventerous dove into the ocean and found a chest with 3,500 pieces of eight inside in the wreckage.

DAY 321-324
PLACE: PIRATE SEA

    La Arcadia sailed from near the Whip Islands southeast around the island of Brigandy Bay. 

DAY 325
PLACE: PIRATE SEA
WEATHER: SUNNY
TIME OF DAY: MORNING

    La Arcadia spied a pirate galleon but it made no threatening movements towards it. This close to Brigandy Bay, it was likely a Coalition ship. 

DAY 326
PLACE: BRIGANDY BAY
WEATHER: SUNNY
TIME OF DAY: NIGHT

   Captain Cyrus Black gave everyone 150 pieces of eight to carouse. 

    Pinecone gambled and lost a big bet, but he caught his opponent cheating. An angered Horventerous came over and revealed his devil's eye infused with greater strength by the ring of fear he was wearing. It gave the cheating gambler a heart palpitation as he clutched his chest. The frightened pirate ran off screaming, "Keep the money!" Pinecone got 150 pieces of eight rather than losing it. Pinecone sang, "That is what you get when you cheat before a God!"

DAY 326
PLACE: BRIGANDY BAY
WEATHER: OVERCAST
TIME OF DAY: NOON

      The group got over their hangovers and began final preparations to face the Sea Hags...

[End of session.] 

XP: 3, Missed XP: 2

MINIMUM XP: 80/Legendary

LOOT: 4,500 pieces of eight, Ring of Environmental Protection, Brace of Six +3 Damage Flintlock Pistols, Ring of Fear

MINIATURES 

     Tri-folds used are from 50 Fathoms Figure Flats and the metal Kraken miniature made by Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

Return to 50 Fathoms #37 Recap: Kaja Bar Hopping and Side Questing

  Sunday October 23, 2022@ 12:30-3:30 P.M.

 < WARNING SPOILERS FOR 50 FATHOMS AHEAD MATEY!!>  

DAY 307
PLACE: KAJA, ARFK
WEATHER: SNOW
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

      Captain Cyrus bought winter gear for the crew and paid everyone 150 pieces of eight to carouse. Cyrus recruited five Grael marines to the La Arcadia's crew.
       The group decided to go to The Frigid Bitch. While carousing they overheard conversations of the ship crew.

"Why are we in this icy wasteland?"
"No one knows, but it still beats the Flotsam Sea!" 

"A toast to Unk. His spirit is finally free of Redbeard Rufus's curse."

     They also toasted to the other three sailors who died during their harrowing escape from the Flotsam Sea. 

      The group met a Masaquani named Caleb Candelas in the tavern. Caleb had strange blue skin and a pallid complexion. After several people in the group tried to get him to talk, of all people, Chug succeeded. Caleb told him he was wearing a seal suit as he was planning to look for treasure in the wreck of the Arkanaus. His pale skin was a result of nearly freezing to death after the Arkanaus sunk. The pirates who had sunk his ship saved him from the orca and norwhale infested waters. Caleb was willing to share half the treasure with the group in exchange for guiding them to the wreckage. 

[So you know how ridiculous that was, it was a -2 base roll with a -2 for not having the Persuasion skill, with a -2 for Chug's ugliness. Success was a 10 or better, and Randall somehow rolled it with d4+d6 -6. Everyone else failed d4+d6 -4 rolls. Mutinying against the character with good Persuasion has some drawbacks.]

DAY 308
PLACE: KAJA, ARFK
WEATHER: OVERCAST
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

       Horventerous bought a couple of seal suits for himself and Draco. With Chug not needing a seal suit that meant the trio could dive down with Caleb to the wreck of the Arkanaus. All prepared, the group sailed out to the nearly wreck of the Arkanaus, three miles out. 

DAY 308
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: OVERCAST
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

        Horventerous, Caleb Candelas, Chug, and Draco dived down to the bottom of the Cold Sea. They got to what was left of the Arkanaus, debris and little more than a door leading to the somewhat intact captain's quarters. Chug tested the door, but found that it was locked. So he shoved his shoulder into it and the rotting wood of the door shattered. 

       Chug grabbed the treasure chest but the vibrations of smashing the door attracted two orcas. 

       Horventerous cut a rotting rope in the debris and an attached piece of wood went flying at an orca, hitting it in the left fin and wounding it. 

 [Andrew played Albatross Luck.] 

        Chug put down the chest gently and charged an orca. He filleted an orca with King Amemnus's sword. 

      Draco charged the other orca and wounded it with his knife.

     Horventerous cast fire bolt using his scepter of fire, which hissed and bubbled causing another wound to the orca.
     The orca attacked Draco but missed.
     Caleb couldn't hold his breath anymore and started to drown. His body also started to feel the effects of hypothermia.
     Draco used his knife to count coup on the orca. 

[Randall used Divers with a Bennie. I thought it might be on Caleb, but no. He played it on Chug to negate the encumbrance penalty of the treasure chest. Rather than save Caleb, they left him to drown and freeze to death in the Cold Sea to get the whole treasure, not just half. This is in line with the Greedy hindrance of Horventerous and Draco's mercenary attitude complete with Jingoistic as a hindrance.]

      Chug grabbed the treasure chest. Chug, Horventerous, and Draco returned to the surface and left Caleb Candelas to his fate. 

      

       On the deck, Nimue unlocked the treasure chest and the group gained 5,000 pieces of eight and a bleeding heart potion. They split it with Horventerous getting most of the amount to recoup the 1,600 cost of the seal suits. 

[Nick played Windfall to maximize the treasure hoard.]

       The group returned to Kaja, Arfk and went to The Holey Grael.

DAY 308
PLACE: KAJA, ARFK
WEATHER: OVERCAST
TIME OF DAY: NIGHT

      At The Holey Grael, Nimue encountered a Grael called Flunk. She spent 100 pieces of eight to buy a treasure map from him that she was convinced was real showing treasure somewhere in the sea far to the east of Kiera. Nimue tried to get the other people in the group to believe her and finally went to La Arcadia where Cyrus Black told her the map was a forgery. Cyrus bought the map from Nimue for 100 pieces of eight.

[Cyrus is a merchant who has sold false maps before in Brigandy Bay for a profit.]

     Meanwhile, the rest of the group harassed Flunk about the false map until Bjorn Olafsson was forced to have Grael bouncers escort them from the tavern.  
     The group left The Holey Grael and went to the Warm Hearth Inn. Chug met an old whaler acquaintance called Frog who couldn't believe Chug could talk now.
      When Nimue got back, she chatted up and left with a one-armed Masaquani called Rikas Russ. They went to Rikas's room at the inn and Rikas talked about how he lost his ship, the Fearless, and his arm to the freezing cold breath of a norwhale. Rikas told her about a magical ring that his water mage wore that could protect against the elements. Rikas told Nimue it was probably still in the gut of that norwhale somewhere. For 500 pieces of eight, he would guide her to the wreck of the Fearless. Nimue negotiated him down to 400 pieces of eight and then returned downstairs to the bar area. She told the rest of the group about the plan to hunt down a norwhale. Chug told Frog to come with them, "It would be like old times." Chug gave Frog his old Grael battleball and Cyrus gave him 50 pieces of eight.

DAY 309-313
PLACE: KAJA, ARFK
WEATHER: OVERCAST  

      La Arcadia sailed to where the wreck of the Fearless was located and waited for the norwhale to appear. On the way, the group netted a large amount of fish twice. 

DAY 314
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: SNOW
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

       The group finally found the norwhale and approached it at long range. Horventerous cast a fire bolt using his scepter of fire but missed. Natsu Nara cast an earth bolt cannonball but also missed.

 

      But then it was the norwhale's turn. It emitted a blast of cold from its blowhole to immobilize La Arcadia. Suddenly Natsu Nara let out a molten blast of fire and earth that started to melt the ice. Horventerous cast a fire bolt to further melt the ice. Frog jumped off the ship and hit the ice floe with his Grael battleball, with a tink sound.

[Summer played Get Savage to gain a new power. Insert lavabender joke here.]

     The norwhale used the holes in the ice to make an attack against the underbelly of the ship. Chug barely managed to maneuver the ship to avoid it. Meanwhile Frog was flung off balance from the ice floe and landed in the water. Natsu Nara cast fire blast again to melt the rest of the ice.   
      Horventerous cast fire bolt at the norwhale but it just dived out of the way. The norwhale ate Frog and escaped from La Arcadia.
  

[End of session.] 

XP: 2, Missed XP: 1

MINIMUM XP: 77/Heroic

LOOT: 5,000 pieces of eight, Bleeding Heart Potion

MAPS

     Our Sunken Ship is used for the wreck of the Arkanaus. It is a modern map with sea mines around a sunken wooden ship, but if you just print out the center area of the map, it works fine in fantasy.

Return to 50 Fathoms Recap #36: The Curse is Broken

 Sunday October 9, 2022@ 1:00-4:00 P.M.

 < WARNING SPOILERS FOR 50 FATHOMS AHEAD MATEY!!>  

DAY 302
PLACE: REDBEARD RUFUS'S TREASURE ISLAND, FLOTSAM SEA
WEATHER: PARTLY CLOUDY
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

         Chug sailed the ship to the closest island hoping to repair La Arcadia. They found a small island covered in tentacle-like vines. The six golden triangles glowed brightly. 

        In the center of the island was a stone monolith with six indentations for the golden triangles. After Horventerous placed them on the monolith, it split in half revealing a pit in the center. Blub got a rope and attempted to climb down. He slipped and hit the bottom with a thud and blood curdling scream. Nimue and Tar-Tar climbed down after him with a torch in Nimue's hand. Blub had been impaled by spikes, but his blubber covered them at the bottom of the pit. Unfortunately, a high weight person like Chug could displace Blub's weight and would become impaled by the spikes, forcing Chug to remain above.
         Nimue and Tar-Tar squeezed through an opening at the bottom of the pit. The tunnel went forward for a bit before Nimue noticed a piece of rotting wood on the floor. Using Blub's spear, she touched the rotting wood. The wood shattered and Nimue dropped Blub's spear. It went down the hole becoming just another spike in the second pit. She attempted to use her grapple gun to get over the pit, but a guillotine snapped the rope in half after the hook landed. Tar-Tar backed out and Nimue was forced to return to the surface and ask Natsu Nara to cast wall walker on her. Nimue glided down and hurried into the tunnel, using the wall walker to go around the pit and guillotine. When she grabbed her grapple hook, the guillotine reset. She tossed her grapple hook forward and another trap was revealed. A flint and steel in the ceiling lit a tar-wrapped torch that dropped into a pool of boiling oil that caught fire. Nimue used the updrafts from the fire to glide across and into a wide chamber stacked high with 30,000 pieces of eight, a magical rapier, magical grapple gun, magical leather armor, magic ring, magic compass, and magic Grael battleball. 

[Chessie played Windfall. Randall traded Chessie the Windfall card, so I made the treasure mostly fit Nimue with an item for Chug and a couple of boating aids that may be necessary.]

    When Nimue and Tar-Tar returned to the surface with a mere fraction of the treasure, the group saw The Incinerator appear offshore and Redbeard Rufus and his zombie crew wade onto the island. Redbeard Rufus screamed out, "No one leaves this island with my treasure!" Something behind Rufus grunted... 

[Beginning of session]

[I busted out my new grid and the dry erase markers for this one. I drew around the character sheets to make the blue island boundaries. Trees have a wooden trunk with a green canopy for the vine-like tentacle trees on the island. The center has the split statue and the center pit with a rope coming out of it. The position of La Arcadia and The Incinerator is at the bottom not to scale since there is not enough table space and the fight was not on the ships anyway.]

 

     Redbeard Rufus stepped to the side and said, "Meet my second in command, Zunk!" The zombified corpse of Unk juggled his decapitated head with a cutlass. Fear and revulsion washed over the group. Horventerous was enraged and a surge of adrenaline flowed throughout his body. Draco had a heart attack and fell to the ground clutching his chest. Everyone else kept their nerve. 

[Nick was forced to use the Teamwork card that Randall traded him to gain +4 on his Vigor roll to avoid Draco's death from the heart attack in 8 rounds. Instead Draco could recover in 1 round from the heart attack afterward.]

      Redbeard Rufus then attacked Cyrus with his screaming scimitar but he missed. He then shot his pistol at Horventerous. The shot ricocheted off his Kraken bone armor. 

      Nimue, Cyrus, and his henchman surrounded Redbeard Rufus but he managed to parry away their attacks.

      Chug drew out King Amemnus's sword and gashed Redbeard Rufus for a moderate wound. He attacked him again for a severe wound.

[Randall played Adrenaline Surge.]

    

       Natsu Nara unleashed a burst. He maximized the number of zombies he could hit, but it left one zombie right next to him. The burst missed Zunk but devastated most of Redbeard Rufus's zombies. However, the burst caused the ground to cave in, revealing gleaming piles of the treasure below for a second before it was covered by dirt and corpses.

      Horventerous cast blast and obliterated another portion of Redbeard Rufus's zombie crew.

     Tar-Tar climbed out of the pit and was stopped dead in his tracks by the hideous corpse of Zunk. Seeing a dead, zombified Half-Ugak made him wonder about his own mortality.

       Horventerous was surrounded by Zunk and three zombies but his Kraken bone armor protected him from claws and Zunk's blade.  
       Natsu Nara was attacked by a single zombie and wounded. 

 [Summer played Riled Up to gain a +2 damage bonus after Natsu Nara was wounded.]

[In the second round, it was over in the Action Card phase. A Joker for Cyrus AND a Joker for Draco.] 

      Cyrus stabbed Redbeard Rufus, dropping him prone. His henchman finished the job. Redbeard Rufus, Zunk, the Zombies, and The Incinerator started to the glow green...

      Draco got off the ground, suddenly recovering from his heart attack. He lunged at Zunk, moderately wounding him.

       Natsu Nara moved to the back of the zombie he was engaged with and cast burst at the zombies, Zunk, and Draco. 

 [Summer played Explosives with a Bennie.]

      Most of the zombies, Zunk and Draco dodged the spell. The burst caused a cave-in underneath Natsu Nara and the closest zombie. The zombie fell into the treasure room below while Natsu Nara held on to the edge of the pit.

      Chug moved forward and wounded Zunk. Horventerous drew out his bone sword and finished Zunk.
    Nimue stabbed a zombie with her new rapier, dropping it.
    Tar-Tar grabbed a vine-like tentacle from the tree and swung on it towards a zombie, decapitating it with his battle-axe.
    

      
      The green glow erupting into a green flame that surrounded Redbeard Rufus, Zunk, the zombies, and The Incinerator. It seemed to explode and then turn into green wisps like embers as they disappeared. The ghost of Redbeard Rufus rose from his body's lasts embers and he said, "The curse is lifted." before fading away.

      As they loaded up the treasure, underneath all the piles of pieces of eight, Tar-Tar found a magical battle-axe.

DAY 303
PLACE: REDBEARD RUFUS'S TREASURE ISLAND, FLOTSAM SEA
WEATHER: OVERCAST

       Cyrus directed the crew to cut down all the trees on the island and used the timber to patch the hole in the La Arcadia's hull.

[David played Convenient Repairs in combination with his Ship's Carpenter edge to repair La Arcadia in one day. I asked them where they would like to go next. The center of the Flotsam Sea? Resupply at Brigandy Bay? Nope...]

DAY 304
PLACE: FLOTSAM SEA
WEATHER: BLUSTERY

       One of the sailors claimed a cloud looked like a young girl as he looked behind the ship. The cloud split in half, looking like lips parting and a gust of wind filled the ship's sails. The winds blew north like the Boreas of legend said the Greek sailor.
         Chug held on to the ship's wheel and started evasive maneuvers to dodge all the flotsam while the ship moved at incredible speed.

[The group played Spurred On and Homing Beacon and declared their destination... Kaja, Arfk. The island to the north that has not been visited all campaign.]

DAY 304
PLACE: FLOTSAM SEA
WEATHER: RAINY
TIME OF DAY: AFTERNOON

       The rain that had been threatening for days finally arrived and the winds died down for a bit. A fire salamander ship sidled next to La Arcadia. They climbed aboard using grappling hooks attached to thick metal chains, stabbed and grabbed three sailors, and returned to their ship. A second gust of wind hit La Arcadia at that exact moment, hurtling La Arcadia north and out of the Flotsam Sea but leaving the three sailors to their fate...as fire salamander dinner.

[Randall played Favor of the Gods with a Bennie to immediately escape the encounter...]

DAY 305
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: OVERCAST

       The sailors found game in abundance.

[Shaune used Perfect Timing to grab Marksman's Map and played it to give Tar-Tar a +1 on Survival checks in the Cold Sea till the end of session.]

DAY 306
PLACE: COLD SEA
WEATHER: SNOW

       La Arcadia sailed to Kaja, Arfk in a snowstorm. Every sailor was freezing except for Chug. Chug just laughed and said, "It isn't even cold yet."

DAY 307
PLACE: DOCKS, KAJA, ARFK
WEATHER: SNOW
TIME OF DAY: MORNING

       Chug's words turned out to be prophetic. The deck of La Arcadia was nowhere near as cold as the island of Arfk. Feet in socks and boots froze when walking upon the frigid land. The crew of La Arcadia found that they were ill-prepared for the cold...

[End of session.]
