You might have to use some skills (Bargain?) or wiles to get on board, or try to arrange to work for passage, or stowaway, or borrow cash from others...Jorune: general discussion

I know it's just a typo but my first reaction to
was a joke along the lines of "Usually it's customary to wait until after the corastin grabs Miniri, climbs to the top, and starts rolling barrels before you begin climbing" but maybe Jorune Kong never would have put Nintendo on the map.

Haha yeah I also wanted to make a Mario Bros. or Donkey Kong joke but came up empty. Good one, Spaceseeker! :-D

Sorry for the delay; I'm working on some more artwork to post and am composing a montage sequence so we don't have to play out all the details of operating the ship (keeping in mind foci, of course).

So, at this point I'm happy to continue the discussion in this evening when you spot Hentak and Elonpo aboard ship. But if you'd like now - or perhaps after we play out the rest of any conversation - we can go into a "shorthand" mode, where I will describe an overview of each day on the ship, and, each character may interject with two declared activities:
a) something you do publicly during the day (possibly using a focus or other skill, either as part of working on the crew or in a break). For example: "I go down into the galley and help prepare meals (using my Cooking skill)"
and
b) something you do when you're not on shift (surreptitious or otherwise private activity), if anything. For example: "I follow Renno on his rounds because I find him suspicious (using my Tailing skill)."

Both Gythaar and Marik have a contact - a non-party NPC known from before this trip other than Hentak and Elonpo - aboard the ship. Naatkinson and Jabes.plays.RPG, you can decide who that is for each character, or whether it's the same person. Contacts may provide information, assistance, or other resources depending on circumstances.
I like to incorporate your ideas and give you some freedom to create parts of the world, BUT if you'd rather not, I can make them myself. I don't want it to be a chore for you!
Yes, that's what I was thinking: just a quick overview like name, race, a word or two about personality. I'll take it from there (but see my comment about the chore, above: tell me if you'd rather not, and I'll make the contacts).

When you say to come up with sketches of these people do you mean for me to create some NPCs?

Jatix, a woffen, an old crony of Gythaar's from his time in the militia. Personality: Secretive. A little paranoid. Loyal. Trustworthy.

New contacts:
1. Agnar, an old Muadra sailor. Grumpy, very knowledgeable in the tasks required to run a crystal ship. He's taken a bit of a liking to Marik.
2. Vex, a young human, A compulsive gambler who can charm anyone. He only works on the ships occasionally, and usually only until he has enough money to catch up on his gambling debts.
3. Targus, a bronth, he is very kind and is very good with handling the heavier cargo that the ship hauls. He has connections to the bronth anti-slavery movements.
Old Contact:
Elvar: Marik's ex-best friend. He is quite jealous of Marik's ability in harnessing Isho, though they do sometimes still help each other in the most dire of circumstances

Whoa, Elvar is on the ship, too?? That's really interesting!Feb 19, 2016 2:26 am
Sorry, everyone, for the long delay. First there was prep for DunDraCon, then my daughter and I got very sick. I'm ramping up again now and don't want to keep you all waiting any longer.

It's all good, Spaceseeker! We're excited to continue but take as much time as you need to recover. :-)

Miniri nods enthusiastically to Marik. She is a big supporter of plans that require doing little right away but accomplishing lots later on.
I love these characters.
