I guess we float this boat while being short one. I'm ready for some action!

I'm anxious to find out if Fin's gotten himself killed.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and Happy New Year!

I've moved the story along. Altaira, hopefully you return. That fight was quick and sudden, but Maggie now has a bit of a situation on her hands.

Goncalvo seems to have been "marked," Fin has a decision to make concerning his "honor," and the only one who seems to have made some positive progress is Cracker.

Looking forward to the next round of posts.

...yet!

Happy New Year, ye lot of scurvy scalawags! Post from Fin by day's end, I hope.

I have metrics to run and 2017 activities to wrap up for work but, with luck, that won't take too long.

Sweet, Wiley learned something called "progress!"

See what happens when you don't go around getting into deadly fights??? Good grief, it is almost as bad as travelling with a band of rogues and pirates! Oh well, I guess there is that. . .

As for Cracker there isn't much for him to do right now besides go back and report. Now what he sees there could be entertaining.

So, looks like Eol and I get to use roll20.net for some combat!

This is how we'll work through the combat, Eol, my friend. We shall use the chat feature in roll20. I've set up the map and added the tokens. You'll have control of your token and we'll go turn by turn. I'll leave instructions in the chat and every roll you make you need to clarify to me what the roll was for, or how Fin is attempting to conclude the action. That way, when I write up the combat, I can include your flare.

FYI - I rolled initiatives already and Fin is first (exploding 10... Excellenaty!)

Nifty! I'll check out Roll20 in just a bit...

...so, at this point, I need to give you a bit of text/clarification for my attack and then roll for to hit only? Is it d20 to hit?

Also... do I start with the attack as posted in the game thread?

If you click on your character token you'll have a bunch of roll options appear at the top of the screen. You'll just have to click on the Cutlass (or whatever the weapon is) and it will prompt you for a modifier. You don't need to put on in unless I tell you because the algorithms I set up already account for both current modifiers, skills, and exploding 10's. It will prompt you to click on the token you're directing the attack at and once you do, it will present the results of your rolls in the Chat. Keep in mind your MOVE when you place your token in range of the attack.

One problem, though... I'm not finding the map for this encounter. When I log in, I see a map of the ship and tokens for the PC crew... no Kidane or his cronies... am I missing something?

My bad. I forgot to switch the map. Should be fixed.

Turn taken, I believe... hope I targeted the right guy!

You did!

Been playing through this combat on Roll20 and, I've gotta say, it's soooooo much fun!

And I have updated the game. Sail on.
