Ib'm looks like she wants to kiss him. Styrnn looks like he wants to punch him.
Azure, that was a great post. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to add to it.

Zimmy? are you wanting US to be there when they "parley" with Pale? or should we be busy preparing? how, what, where?
I for one want to Gather Info on anything going on in the north
(why he needs the ppl of Starmatle..) and the nearby region..
Any info that would get us back from a position of being railroaded by our beloved DM

No, Raa-Shiis and Zjaa are NPCs from Incursion and don't really follow the same naming rules. Zim was right on the first two, though.
From the movie Heavy Metal "Sterrrrrnnnn! He's nothin' but low-down, double-dealin', back-stabbin', larcenist, perverted worrrm!"
Trying to play Ib'm as the exact opposite of an emotionless machine.
D'aynn is "Captain Dan" from the move Yellowbeard (specifically the scene where he's 'voted' captain.)
Edited: Yes, I'm trying to encourage you to watch the movies Yellowbeard & Heavy Metal

Re: BoG'r OOC.
I'll allow a little time for anyone to post before Pale actually arrives.
To all: DM likes boats and pirates, and may be using nautical speak quite a bit. General nautical terms I'll use as convention calls for, so if I say something you don't understand, or I say something wrong 
let me know. Ship sizes and types can be googled, but I'm using stats converted from an old Dragon (dec'86!).
To Ii/Ya's: The co-captains Zjaa and Raa-Shiis seem to have a great deal of influence over the other githyanki. They are also astute, and realized having the guests aboard THEIR ship would make THEM the 'leaders' in Pale's mind.
To Kirath: He knows now that Pale's core troops are indeed loyal to him, politically at least. Many abandoned other leaders to follow the Ascendancy, and Pale is a high-up in the bloc.
To Ar'dru: Xykk't is obviously a full Cultist, but seems to enjoy debates with Ar'dru about loyalties and Gith's will. She actually asks him, if he were to receive contrary orders from Pale, Kirath, and Gy-Nath, which would he obey, or would he go his own way? She is trying to feel him out for a rebellion against Pale, he knows it ...

Re: BoG'r OOC.
"Unfortunately we are running out of time." "Sooner or later they will send scouts ahead and find out what you have done and they will force my hand."
I've been thinking that (if possible) we would not want to "start" the fight (heh), since the pirates are so determined to engage at least initially in negotiation. If the conscripted ships were to leave the fleet right now, at a minimum, N'ach't would have to be taken out. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Re: BoG'r OOC.
Ya'shenn isn't certain that Gy-Nath will be happy about this turn of events...
Even beyond that, entering combat would probably put a halt to "negotiations." I'm inclined to let Pale initiate a fight, but I'm not sure.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
Oh ooc I totally agree with you but in-character Kirath is a sitting duck and while he isn't afraid to die he just doesn't want it be here and now.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
Oh ooc I totally agree with you but in-character Kirath is a sitting duck and while he isn't afraid to die he just doesn't want it be here and now.
Very understandable. I'm thinking a) Azure would give enough warning for Kirath to teleport (I hope) and/or b) I'm thinking Pale would have a fit (to say the least) but not immediately disintegrate him. He likes to engage in lengthy insults beforehand...
edit: In game reasoning: Mist of the Mind would probably not instantly disintegrate him. She'd drain him of as much info as possible as quickly as possible. There's also the (slight) possibility that Kirath isn't even involved in plotting against Pale. Pale seems likely to harangue him and call him "Heretic" a lot before tossing fireballs. Might not be the case, however...

He knows or at least I think he knows I had Ya'shenn set up orders with Geb to keep a skiff near Pale's ship at all times for Kirath able to get to a clean getaway (although he can fly under his own power just not at great speed)

Re: BoG'r OOC.
1) Did the barbarians of Starmantle do anything to get ready for Pale's arrival?
2) What are the odds looking like now, in terms of Pale's forces vs. everyone else's?
3) The current conscripted crew numbers about fifty, doesn't it?

Re: BoG'r OOC.
How far can Ii go in "pulling rank"? Is she out of her league against the Necromancer or is she within her right as an "minor officer/ Knight of Vlaakith"?
Sat, 2009-12-12 10:57
#3285
Re: BoG'r OOC.
1) Yes and no. The graith under most of the captains were roused, but Styrrn and Ib'm seem to be waiting until the others are underway before giving the news out in general.
2) The graith here outnumber Pale's forces, but few of them are of warrior caliber. If it came down to a fight, it could go either way. Of course, if Pale actualy does ghoulify all those corpses, you guys are screwed.
3) About fifty, including the entire party of Sigilan gith.
to BS; If you were still considering rankings under Vallkith, Pale as Queen's Necromancerwould greatly out-rank Ii. Of course, as a knight, she could do whatever the heck she wanted anyway, outranked or not.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
So even under the old command structure i would be not out of my way doing this... heh, weird, but useful.
Sat, 2009-12-12 11:53
#3287
Re: BoG'r OOC.
Under the old regime, knights had their own command structure. If a knight (Ii) disobeyed a commander (Pale) then the commander would either just have to deal with it, or try to reprimand the knight, which would likely result in a duel. If the knight was way out of line, she might be punished by her own order, or attacked on the spot by another knight who witnessed it.
So yea, Ii overstepped herself with this action, but ...
1- she didn't actualy disobey any particular order
2- Pale has been treating her like a knight, and as a knight she is semi-independent anyway
Ya'shenn, on the other hand, left her assigned position. Now, if the knight took the psion instead of her abandoning her post, that would be one thing ....

I don't know, I'll find something in a sourcebook that he could animate. In fact, the bags of "extras" will probably be more important in the long run (oops, did I let that slip?)
Pale gives EvilDM a chance to use several different types of undead I've got in the books.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
I'm guessing Ya'shenn already did this while describing Pale's forces, but in case it needs to be noted, assume the pirates know which ships to not fire upon, should that become an issue.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
Nice post, Azriael.
It's possible that Pale's target (after Starmantle) may be an illithid one. Perhaps the party may find out soon. (I actually had a dream about BoGr lately, in which Pale's target was Oryndoll. What kind of a nut would attack Oryndoll?! A nut like Master Pale, that's who.)
I doubt Ya'shenn would be very happy if that were the case. She shares the githyanki hatred for the Great Enemy, but she also thoroughly loathes Pale.
If it were really some illithid enclave he had in mind, though, Pale really wouldn't have had to do very much conscription. That would, however, be assuming Pale didn't have Charisma as his dump stat.

Re: BoG'r OOC.
Charisma is a stat reflecting force of personality, not necessarily likability.
I'll probably post Pale's arrival tomorrow night.
And yes, he has been going north until this point. You may be surprised where Pale plans to go next. Or maybe you won't since you might be able to figure it out from my descriptions of the larger situation with the githyanki in Faerun.
