The Power of Naming (OOC)

-

Abe ponders: As we limp back towards Saltmarsh and Ellie she is trying not to kill the rest of us while making poisons, we might reflect on all of our [limited] adventures and consider a name.  We've made some enemies so perhaps we've made some friends now, too no? - it's clear we'll be having each others backs for some time.

I'm sure others will have better ideas but here's my head dump.  Ship names are stronger than crew names.


Ship Name candidates from Abe:

  • The Morning Wood
  • Goldblade's Revenge  (for the dead girl we found on the first day)
  • Enterprise (mostly because Archmage Rob says we get to find crew.  I see Uhura and Bones and....)
Several were in the "also ran" category.  Carribean Queen, Black Freighter (from Watchmen) (cuz once you go.... nevermind), Black Treasurer (from Ffafhrd), The Blue Nixie, Intruder
 

Crew Name candidates from Abe:

Also rans were Trouble Brewing Company LLC and Three Men and a Little Lady.  The only notable things we've done is "kinda" fix a haunted house ("Scuba Doo Crew"?) and murder the Whitecrags/thugs.  Oh, and now the two Wizards Sanbalet and Pukaeteh.  Oh and of course we won Claw Pong against the Black Blades!  Ummmm.... "All Night Pong"?  That'll get stuck in your head.
  • Wolf Pelts
  • Wizlards of the Coast (again, this is oddly growing on me though credit to others)
  • Ocean's Four
Technically, we've now found a silver fishing rod but I don't think anyone wants to be "Pole Finders"

Feel free to post your own or comment.

    The fates have spoken. We are the Wizlards of the Coast sailing on the Kraken Chaser. The crew can be the Kill Devil Corps. Stay thirsty....

A Letter from Abejunio and You're Welcome

  Hello, fellow Wizlards.   It is I, the crooner of Faer’uner.   The singer with the thinger.   We’re still workshopping. I was sitting down last night to another meal with Maura on the Chaser – some rabbit stew – and could not stop the laughing.   Remember when Ellie and Lleyash squared off against a room full of delightful but rabid zombie critters?   Perhaps right after finding my long lost daughter, this was a high point.   And I wasn’t even there.   Just like I wasn’t there for Maura, but that’s another story (that I’ll be publishing in Baldur’s Gate Press “Deadbeat or Funky Beat: the Price of Stardom”). We’d arrived at Firewatch Isle after a few days sail from Lleyash’s ancestral home.   I made a point to dive back down to take the skull of his father as well as Oceanus’ mom, because it looked cool and we needed answers.   Letting the boys say goodbye to their parents was nice.   I guess.   They told us little besides they were sorry for being bad dads, he loved Lleyash’s mom

OBX 2024

  The 2024 OBX sojourn was marked by an epic showdown against a legendary foe.  It was also marked by the mighty Wizlards battling the evil forces of COVID using an impressive arsenal of pluck and hand sanitizer. As it turns out, COVID is a CR23 BBEG who is resistant to both pluck and sanitizer.  At the time of this post, 3 out of 5 Wizlards now recommend COVID to their patients who chew gum. Still, we came and saw and surprisingly conquered.  While all of our sports teams were disappointments, this session will long be remembered as a fittingly heroic climax to an amazing adventure almost three years in the making.  We fought horny blue dragons and gargantuan kraken.  Some of us ate salad on only three of us died in the final battle.  These two are probably unrelated. Abejunio El Guapo, Faer'uns mightiest and hairest of bards, was sadly ineffective in the showdown with the evil forces of Jom Bovi.  He spent much of The fight on the deck of the Kraken Chaser, immobilized by Bovi

Archmage Halstead: Blasts, Pasts, and Castes

After resting the night in the old mountain mystery of Lilly’s the party teleported back to Ascension Isle and as they faded away saw a blue dragon erupting from the floor of the place where Lilly’s constructs were. They ended up outside one of the pirate’s houses and while stealthing around the house they saw what looked like mechanical constructs and the Duke searching the upper level for them. After some debate over whether to get back to the ship or to eliminate the threat they chose to engage the duke and the automatons. The battle was fought, and the foe was eliminated without anyone escaping to alert the rest of the town. They overheard the duke and his first mate discussing before the battle that Jon Bovi was going to get the horse and circle the island to find the intruder’s ship. An ingenious plan was hatched instead of retreating to the ship that they would teleport inside the steel horse and blow up the powder magazine to incapacitate the ship. Leyash teleported inside the
