[closed] (loud screaming) BOAT PARTY

[pocketspa]

Who: Taako, Lup, Barry, Kravitz, Magnus, Lance, and Nate.
What: 7 assholes, two boats, heading into the ocean for the chance to look for some buckwild stuff.
Where: Out at sea!
When: The entirety of the voyage; August 13th-September 3rd.
Warnings: Idk PG-13 levels of shirtlessness, curse words, maybe somebody ends up overboard at some point. Should be cool.

This is a catch all for the boat party for this group! Make top-levels for threads within this time and go friggin' wild. For convenience, I've provided 3 toplevel headers as general timeline assistance; as far as events of the voyage go, it'll basically be:

Week One: (August 13th-19th) Leaving the city and traveling to the fragment!
Week Two: (August 20th-26th) Still traveling, picking up whatever they find somewhere in here, since it's about the middle.
Week Three: (August 27th- Sept 3rd) Traveling and arriving home!

Feel free not to use exact dates, I sure don't care, this is just to help figure out if things happened before other things, OTHERWISE GO WILD

[Magnus was used to being stuck on a ship of some sort with his friends (and a few strangers, but hopefully they'd become friends or at least not kill each other by the end) and finding ways to entertain himself. He had taken it upon himself to be the lookout, climbing to the highest point of the ship (which wasn't exactly the safest thing in the world) and looking out for other ships or anything that might be interesting).]

[Often times it just resulted him in screaming "AHOY" at people from a distance and hoping they'd wave back.]

[So all in all it wasn't the worst thing in the world, but certainly not the most exciting.]

[Magnus approaches Lance and leans on the railing next to him, looking into the waters below.]

That would be super cool if there was. Maybe one will pop up while we're sailing and I can fight it or something!

[Even though he's not the most equipped to fight something in the water, but that would be a problem for future Magnus.]

[lifetothefullest]

Okay, as cool as that would definitely be, I'm not sure we want to be fighting some giant sea creature when we only have sailboats.

[He's seen movies, okay. They all say even huge pirate ships can't really stand up to over-exaggerated giant squid, and Lance definitely wouldn't put it past this weird planet to actually have monsters like that.]

[nodogsonthemoon]

I'm sure we'd manage okay. It's not like we don't have a bunch of kick ass wizards and the actual grim reaper on the boat with us. I'm sure we'd figure something out.

[He's fought a bunch of giant things before and they usually haven't killed him in the past.]

Plus, I know a shit ton about carpentry, so if the boat got damage I'd probably be able to fix it.

[Key word probably.]

[Lance is... Pretty sure they'd indeed figure something out, but he doesn't think it'd be super fun. Still, there's no harm in a little confidence and speculation, and also learning a bit more about the other people on the expedition team.]

Are you one of the wizards, or...?

[He knows Taako and Lup are, of course, but that's about it.]

[nodogsonthemoon]

Nah, I wish! I'm just good at hitting things. Though I do have a magic lance that was given to me by a goddess.

[Off topic.]

Lup, Taako and Barry are wizards. Kravitz might count too since he's the actual grim reaper. Got like...dead people magic or something.

[lifetothefullest]

Magic weapons are pretty cool.

[Don't sell that short, alright, but okay he has to ask--]

How does that work in your world? The grim reaper thing.

[nodogsonthemoon]

Don't get me wrong, I love my Chance Lance. But at the same time, I still wish I could shoot fireballs and shit out of my hands.

[Cause that would be the coolest thing in the world.]

I just know he works for the Raven Queen down in the Astral Plane. He takes souls there when people die and arrests people who apparently cheat death or do necromancy and stuff like that. Stuff that goes against death, I guess.

He tried to arrest us one cause we apparently all had death counts and hadn't "checked into" the Astral Plane...though he wasn't really wrong about that. We did all die a bunch of times. Though I guess the Raven Queen is cool with us, since he didn't try to arrest us again after the first time.

[Chance Lance, huh? Maybe Lance'll use that as a stage name if he ever becomes a big name gambler or something. Like that's likely to happen. Why is he thinking about this?

And okay, that's a whole explanation that kind of goes over his head, but he does get the general idea at least.]

What is it that you do in your world to end up with a death count? Are you adventurers?
