Too difficult to keep track of specifics too much. Ammo not tracking unless you get captured, fall into water or something and need to find in more.

In terms of making a potion, I think you rolled for that earlier right? We talked about it earlier. If it was something interesting, I’d keep it a secret but it’s just a really really really solid health potion. Sells for £100

If you want a boarding axe as a melee weapon weapon, that’s fine but either dagger or axe.

The captain of the Dover hears you saying this and he immediately freaks out. “Don’t get us caught up in all that,” he screams. “You’ll get us killed.

Yeah we did. I wasn't sure I could make the potion till we made it on the ship.

I'll stick with a dagger.

He sees that judging look you give him and he says “your still part of my crew, grab him,” and you can see him to start pulling out a whip

Uh-oh. I tell him he should save that kinky stuff for the wenches and then try to dip out.

Roll a standard roll (d20) with a standard difficulty (you have to get over 12 to succeed) as two of your former crew move to grab you

You pull away from them. The captain looks furious and pulls a pistol from his pocket. “Assume the position” he screams. This is what he always screams when people are to be whipped.

You look around your situation. Not sure what Garm is doing but you’re on the deck, and there’s probably 15 people standing between you and the captain, some of which are your friends on the crew. The ramp off the ship is right next to the captain.

Well then. Let's get this party started.

I raise my musket and fire at him.

Not so fast…
He already had a pistol out before you started raising your musket ( and they won the initiative roll)

The Captain raises his pistol and fires. I need an agility check to dodge. Since the deck is crowded and this is very sudden, I will make this an easier check. You have to get above a 10.

In this game, there is the assumption the enemy will always hit you if you fail your ability role

You feel a bullet tear into your love handles. You gasp.

(I’m giving y’all just blatant 12 HP which is a lot. Technically you could have anywhere from 1-10 + modifiers (this is supposed to be a game where you die a lot heh) but just keeping things simple.)


You are hit for 5 HP. How do you want to proceed. Also, what is Garm up to. Is he getting involved in this?

I raise my musket and fire at the captain, then immediately charge him with the intent to stab him.

Roll D20 about the shot.
Making it an easy shot because he is standing there blustering.

Then to Garm.

Roll 2D6x2

i.e. So 3 + 4=7 x2 is 14

You blow his head off. As the pink mist floats down, everyone is silent. Til you finally hear “you murdered him,” and then “he’s a murderer.”

Realization strikes you. You must leave Nassau and soon or you will be hunted down. The act of mutiny against a sea captain is unforgivable. Self defense is not a valid excuse to the laws of the sea

Alright guys, plan on how you want to proceed. Rotgut now is definitely a full outlaw. It may take some time before the authorities learn of this but they will eventually.

You do have several options. Want y’all to really think about them and talk amongst yourselves with how to proceed

What a bunch of wimps. He shot me first. I was just trying to leave the ship.

K I'll wait for Garm to weigh in.
