Of course, that doesn't help <i>you</i>, but at least you've got sympathy.C'nor (Outermost_Toe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580315916281876117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-56047307637730454142011-05-15T13:55:01.622-07:002011-05-15T13:55:01.622-07:00Thanks for the comments.
@-C: Any advice? whatev...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />@-C: Any advice? whatever happened?<br /><br />@Christian: Yes. The ones pulling the shenanigans anyway. I think a useful thing I learned in my teens was banter and joking about doing things can be just as fun as actually doing them in game which might ruin things. These guys don't seem to get that yet. <i>"Wouldn't it be funny to turn into a wolf and scare the prisoner?"</i> = actually scaring the prisoner. Course these aren't good examples because most of what they were doing seemed immature to me.<br /><br />@Richard: You would be the supreme nautical DM. I'm not sure what will happen if I try to arrest them, they may just resist to the death. I'm no sure what would happen in the legal system, either, if they gave themselves up. I'd have to figure out some stuff.<br /><br />As far as plague, probably not since they got cured. This city may be a little different in regards to sickness too as it is a pilgrimage destination for the sick and maimed. <br /><br />The wolf question has a bunch of answers. 1) Yes, they wanted to try it. 2) When the crew seemed unnerved by this "witchcraft" of a wolf at sea, the players seem to like that and kept pushing it. 3) The prisoner wasn't exactly cooperative because she didn't mind dying as a martyr, the body is but a husk after all, and the players were trying to screw with her and soften her up. 4) but at the root of it was one player in particular who seemed very annoyed by the fact that these npcs had strong beliefs and were not willing to change their sense of honor/ethics/morality to suit his whims.<br /><br />Will the fact that this stupid plan causes problems for all of them open said player's eyes? I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if he railed against the unfairness and injustice of the whole situation.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-17574484799637031212011-05-14T23:15:49.172-07:002011-05-14T23:15:49.172-07:00...

Harbormasters were responsible for life in the harbor quarter as well as on the water, so I'd have him arrest the whole lot and let the courts hear what the crew have to say. After quarantine... does the ship show any sign of plague? If so, 40 days to stew, if not then the option of lying to the authorities about that, too. The authorities could paint great yellow daubs on the hull to mark it potentially disease-ridden.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-52022169029002334082011-05-14T20:50:45.470-07:002011-05-14T20:50:45.470-07:00Is this the group of newer players?
