I dont have any skills that are directly useful for a sailor, BUT I am a wizard and can get creative.

Sliven has been on many water going vessels, but he is much a tourist. The most he that would do on the ship as far as crew would be to throw dice with them. Ships are a means of travel to him is all. Although he does like to swim/dive as he is a fan of the water and not one of hard labor. He is an expert treasure finder who specializes in water trips. He does always have his pet miniature flying dragon with him. (She-Ma)
Not exactly captain material, but he is very easy to talk to and rather good looking and is rather independent. His skills are not ship savvy. LOL. He is keener to a ship's advisor/assistant. Could make a second in command that everyone knows he knows nothing so isn't too keen on bossing around.
Side note: Although Silven is obviously Human, he has strange skin that is only really noticeably in direct sunlight, it has a sheen too it. He isn't a rather touch person, but you can imagine his skin probably feels strange too. He is also rather pale and does care to be in sunlight a lot either. He also has an incredible elven accent which gives him that more foreigner charm/aspect. You can be sure too that he speaks elven quite well.

[ +- ] Description
Description: Sliven is about average height (5'9") and on the wiry/lean side although he has a fair amount of upper body strength. He appears to be in his later twenties. He keeps his black hair rather short and has no facial hair to speak of. His brown eyes go well with his face and makes him rather good looking besides that slightly more muscular body that is trim. The only offsetting thing about his looks is his skin. In direct light which he avoids it shows well that his pale white skin is actually tiny scales. You seldom ever see him without stylist covering clothing.
[ +- ] Appearance
Appearance: Sliven is always dressed in style with some finer clothing. Although his clothing isn't the type that would just fall apart easily, it generally looks to be more durable. It always seems to cover his body up well. His clothing doesn't match the battle axe and handaxe on both his side hanging on a leather weapon's belt. He always has his handy backpack on which hangs a helm and shield. Appears his soldier like despite his clothing. Only jewelry on him is a silver necklace with a blue sapphire gem that looks expensive and silver ring of sorts. A sharp eye will also note he has an amulet that no doubt is adorned to Boccob. Besides a pouch on his side he also favors a flagon of water and never has a waterskin.
Between his face, body, clothing & the way he talks it makes him a rather attractive fellow. His heavy elven accent definably gives him that attractive foreigner appeal. He appears to be able to well defend himself even though he wears no armor. Nothing really about him says he has a profession other than what he says he is and that is an expert treasure finder specialized in water exploration. It is to be noted that he has a flying white miniature dragon always with him that seems to adore him.

[ +- ] She-Ma
Description: She-Ma is about 2' from tip of her nose to end of her tail and has about 1' total wingspan between them. She looks to be a white miniature dragon complete with a tiny breath weapon of cold air. She is really good for getting your mug of brew cold. She doesn't move fast on those little legs, but she flies like a rocket. She is rather inquisitive and curious. Given a gem to play with she could be rolling on the ground for hours till it is taken away from her. She does have a habit of looking at anyone that actually says her name but no she hasn't any real intelligence. She is entirely affection to Sliven and no one else. The only noise she ever makes is a soft whistling noise that resembles the word "Who". Her little claws and bite are generally useless for combat unless you're a mouse. You never actually see her eat or drink. She is just there.
Personality: Curious and inquisitive. Can spend hours playing with a gem in her hands and feet curling around it.
Side Note: Sha-Ma doesn't breathe unless it wants to make a noise. She doesn't eat or drink. She just exists. Any noise she makes usually is a soft whistling sound that almost sounds like the word "Who".

I think Jewel would be a great captain. Maybe Jenos convinced her and her crew to join this expedition with the promise of a cut of any treasure. Or maybe Jewel owes him? Depending on @Basil, Finn could be part of Jewel's crew, or brought on by Jenos.
Just some ideas, open to any objections or suggestions.

So, each team has at least one person suitable to be captain. That's really good.
Oct 28, 2022 6:18 pm
Oh that's a good point.
In my backstory, Grimfeather was pressganged into being a pirate, and recently broke free when she turned on that crew. Perhaps Jewel was on the merchant ship that helped Grimfeather escape and now they each run captain a ship. Would explain why they are friendly.

As Finn is a fellow Sage, he probably ran into Jenos at some point and thought it would be a good idea to work togeter. (Jenos is a sage right?)

Archeologist. Still makes sense that they'd be forner colleagues in scholarly circles. Jenos seems to have gone nuts though, chasing myths and crackpot pursuits rather than the more mainstream research of before.

Works for me! Bouncing rumors and lore off of each other makes sense. Especially since im not the stay at home type of sage.

@DM, Just curious about your take on the "Medicine Skill" and how useful it is, particularily when combined with a healers kit?

As for the "green group". I know nothing about captaining a ship. But I'd happily play a character who does if you'd like.

Not sure really. But you would think that someone with medicine + healer kit would somehow be more effective than someone with just healer kit and no skill. I know there is the healing feat that gives back some hps. Maybe something similar? +1hp per HD restored once per short rest? Stacks with the healer feat. Or even hd/2 round up. Can only benefit once every short rest.

Sliven doesn't care a lot if the ship is legit or pirate as long as he doesn't need to be involve if it isn't legal later. This might be the only time he isn't just a tourist paid and passing. He does have a rep and caught pirating would certainly cause it harm. Not that he is a legal bug but doesn't care to have difficulties later. He is still open for second or an advisor type position as I guess we will have lots of NPC's (crew).
Although he isn't ship savvy, he does have certain useful skills. And one which you will find out is that he is a born telepathic but can only send and doesn't set up anything to receive. Smiles. And he can do this in multiple languages. You can also guess from his pet's reactions that he must be able to talk to it that way too. He only talks to She-Ma outload as a benefit for others to hear. Most all his communications are mental and often.
He may even know some other PC's previously if they were somehow associated with some of his previous work. Research even is needed sometimes. He does get around and does travel. He makes fairly good coin and lives a rather comfortable lifestyle. He is totally a professional and does follow the religion of Boccob.
Looking like "Madam" Grimfeather the Kenku is going to be our captain. Wonders about master Arres (Human looking) & mistress Renya (Human looking). Master Sliven is fine. :) He doesn't ever give a full name.

Renya is more about the item identification and a bit of medical support.
In a crew of pirates she could be the one who could probably tell if something they encounter is dangerous, edible or sold for pretty penny, when ir comes to whatever can naturally be found in the depths...
She doesn't care pirates or not as long as everyone doesn't mind her running around collecting, what in pirates perception would be 'trash' and spending time with her papers.
I changed the god to Lendor. @GM
