**Event Post**

October 17th


The battle will take place over the course of four hours on Friday, October 17th. Everyone is welcome to participate. The frigate will be heavily armed with an additional small scout ship easily taken over. Hawtrey, the former Corpse King, will have an armada of three ships -- lightly armed though watch out for cannonballs that will release a poison gas if shattered against decks or cut.

Additionally anyone is welcome to fight whom they want, get rid of as much cannon fodder as they want, and loot -- the treasure won't be substantial but at least worth the effort.

However, there are four treasures/events that must be rolled for.


**The Prodigal Journal**
Rank: Easy (A win constitutes a guess within 30 numbers of the target in either direction)

Success: You acquire the journal, no more, no less. But you will find a private conversation written in an obscure language to none other than Scurvey Dog.
Failure: You don't acquire the journal and must fight your way to freedom.


**Jones' Right Eye**
Rank: Medium (A win constitutes a guess within 20 numbers of the target in either direction)

Success: You acquire Jones' Right Eye, which is a medium shard set in the center of a medallion, bearing a little resemblance to a cat-eye. This will be heavily guarded so prepare to fight.
Failure: You must fight your way back to the ship. Additionally, if your roll falls too far from the target, there may be death or capture on the line.


**Head of the Corpse King**
Rank: Hard (A win constitutes a guess within 5 numbers of the target in either direction)

Success: You have the Corpse King cornered. Killing him, catching him, or setting him free is up to you.
Failure: You have the Corpse King cornered, and then he has you dead or at least critically wounded, via poison of one sort of the other.


**The Golden Prize**
Rank: Extremely Hard (A win constitutes the exact number)

Success: You gain control of the frigate and can plunder it of all it's considerable treasure. If you have enough crew you can also steal the ship.
Failure: Your crew is killed and/or forced to flee as your ship is completely sunk.




Please sign up for the selections you're interested in with crew name and a number guess. (1-100). Deadline for signups is Wednesday the 15th, 11:59pm EST.

You may sign-up for all of them if you wish but (depending on demand) will only be able to win one.


Note the First: These sign-ups are only to see who will win the right to roll for success/failure. The success/failure rolls will be on the 16th.

Note the Second: You're more than welcome to back out at any time before you post to the actual log. However if whomever won the right to roll backs out, the prize will go un-won.

Questions

[om_nom_namur]

If one character in the crew has different objectives from the rest of the characters in the crew and would likely be doing their own thing, would that still count as the one win for the whole crew? (Assuming they did win the roll, that is.)

[highseasmods]

It counts for the whole.

So in other words if Character A has one objective and character B another, if the crew signs up for both they can only win either A's or B's. However, the character whose objective didn't win is certainly able to go and try to complete their objective (so long as they fail)

[om_nom_namur]

o7 thank you!

If you happen to receive the journal, will you actually get to see the conversation from it? Will it be something that's possible to decode?

[highseasmods]

Yes and yes.

[just_a_minute]

Very interesting. /chin stroke

[arcadiasailor]

Wait you said over the course of 4 hours so would we be interacting with Mod run NPCs?

[highseasmods]

The only mod run NPC is the Corpse King. The phrase "over the course of 4 hours" was just to set a time frame, but there's nothing about it that's going to be real time.
