i) Lath - Undead dust was settling over Brastor so
Lath had the idea of creating a rainstorm and washing it all away.

the party were at the top of one of their towers so Albion had the
idea of throwing Lizette off the tower to distract them. In reality
they used an orc with an illusion.

fighting disappeared into the earth to hide. A Tunnel was punched
down to it and Mortimer cursed the creature in such a way that the
earth could no longer hide it or shelter it's evil.

time delay distraction while the party got the slaves out.

vi) Grindar - made a special golem for Hamish when
he was rendered 'armless'

c) Stupidest
i) Lucius - While interrogating, managed to kill the
captive and discovered he was pacted to Foras. Lucius bounced off
Foras's chest as he attempted to exit the room.

undead hordes, elementals were set up on guard. Vychan wandered next
to one, forgetting he is currently twelve percent undead.

magic in a swamp, he cast a fireball and blew the entire party up.

Erzabet - Certain artifacts were required to complete the

decided their best chance was to negotiate and and convinced the rest
of the party to stay quiet and let her do it. With the odds stacked

something in it for them if the party survived.

Just getting the full Mage Current decision into the minutes to save
possible later confusion:
a) Agree on the interpretation that Mage Current alters / adds to a
normal ship movement rather than replacing normal movement.
b) add a note to this effect to the spell description at the next
book printing. Proposed addition is: Carried objects/entities are free to
move within this volume normally, as in a non magical current. This movement
may effectively increase (or decrease) their overall speed or allow them to
exit the effect.
c) Reduce the speed increase granted by the spell to: 5 miles per
hour (+1 / 2 full Ranks).

For one of my PC's .. I'm looking for the price of a houseboat (something like the barges that go up and down the canals). Doesn't have to be new .. a fixer-upper will do. After all, it's not going anywhere, just going to be sitting by a dock in a tidal swamp near the sea. Anyway, while trying to find this I looked in both our Players Guide and GMs Guide and under Ships - both were referring to the Ships Supplement. Did one actually come out and, if so, could someone please send me a copy as I can't find it. Thanks Keith -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz -- | |

Must be an old GMs Guide cKeith ause I have some stuff on Ships in mine =
on pages 21-24.
Speaking of Ships=20
While trolling around the Net looking for data on the speeds of old =
sailing vessels I had problems finding hard data on the speeds of the =
various types of vessels because if speeds were given it was usually a =
max and gave no indication of how strong a wind was needed to get this.
Then I found this paper on the sailing properties of the Hanse Cog they =
dug out of the mud in some Port and used both wind tunnel and sea trials =
with a replica to get the data for.
While most of the speed stuff was in mathematical formulas they had =
produced a very nice table which showed the ships average speed over all =
courses to the wind in relation to wind speed. And roughly it worked out =
that the speed of this boat in knots was roughly the same as the Force =
of the wind. i.e. that in a force 4 wind it averaged 4 knots as it =
tacked along and in a force 6 wind it averaged 6=20
The stuff below is copied from this report
A Hanse cog was discovered during dredging work in the port of Bremen in =
1962. The cog's construction was dated to the year 1380 by means of =
dendrochronological analysis. Until this finding was made, virtually =
nothing was known about the shape and rigging of Hanse cogs. The sole =
source for information on their appearance had been illustrations on =
seal impressions, which provide only an approximate idea. Accounts of =
possible traveling speeds vary greatly, i.e. between 3.3 and 10 knots; =
data on weather conditions and wind directions are completely absent =
from reports.=20
The Hanse cog's average statistical speeds for all courses to the wind, =
calculated from the readings, were:
Beaufort average ship=20
speed over all=20
courses to the wind=20
=20
3 3.4 kn
=20
4
4.0 kn
=20
5
5.1 kn
=20
6
6.0 kn=20
Sailing on a reach with a wind of Bft. 7, the ship attained a speed of 8 =
knots for short periods; this reading corresponds to a Froude number of =
0.3.=20
I have a similar top speed for Longships of 8 knots... Looking at this I =
suspect its because no one is game to go sailing in anything more than a =
force 7 or so gale, higher winds are storm conditions.=20
As the subject of Mage wind as a means of moving a vessel was put =
forward at the gods meeting this data gives you all an Idea of why I =
said that Mage wind is no problem and even using both the boats max =
sailing speed is its unchanged as Sailing Ships don't go the wind speed. =
Mage wind only gets strong enough for a good strong breeze at max rank =
(force 6), and this relationship between sailing speed and wind force =
means that all the air mage is able to give the ship is the Idea wind to =
get its max speed from.( A good strong breeze being what the GMs Guide =
means by 'fair conditions, IMO.)
Where the mage has less than max rank you can use the winds Force to =
guestimate the proportion of the max speed you can achieve. e.g. at rank =
0 the wind speed is 5 mph or force 2 so 2/6th of max speed: or at rank =
6 it would be 11mph or force 3 so ship speed is 3/6 or 1/2 max sailing =
speed.
Thus we get some nice rules of thumb for GMing sailing ships the =
Average speed of a ship in a natural (but not ideal) wind is the wind =
force and the speed of a ship under an Ideal or mage wind is its 1/6th =
its max speed x the force of that wind.
