Proposal: The Sea, She Is A Fickle Queen

Self-killed.

Adminned at 07 Feb 2006 01:48:06 UTC

Add the following rule named “Stormy Seas”.

If the Inquisitor is at sea, there is a chance that a storm will batter the Inquisitor and wash away its crew. Each day the Inquisitor is out of port, one Swashbuckler only may make a DICEX roll where X is equal to the number of days the Inquisitor has been at sea. If the result is 5 or higher, there is a Storm.

In a Storm, all Swashbucklers on Ship and not in the Holds, Forecastle, Crew’s Quarters or Captain’s Quarters have a chance to be washed overboard. Roll one DICE8 for each Swashbuckler and consult the following list of results:
1-4: The Swashbuckler manages to stay on-deck.
5: The Swashbuckler loses one non-injury based item of Motley, washed away in the storm.
6: The Swashbuckler loses one point of GPS.
7: The Swashbuckler is washed overboard, but manages to stay afloat. They loose all non-injury Motley and their Location is set to Overboard.
8: The Swashbukcler is washed overboard and sent to Davy Jones’ Locker.

Shouldn’t the crew get a chance to batten the hatches and get inside?

Er.  see, the thing about naval vessels is that unlesss crew are /on/ deck (or in the rigging, but we can’t be there atm), the whole damn boat sinks.  against

We need some sort of ‘duty’ rules

Self-kill, this wasn’t a particularly well-thought out proposal.
