The other party members outclass me by far, but I mainly play for the fun so that's no big deal to me. What I want to do though, is still make some fun happen in the adventure. We spend lots of time at sea. We have our own boat, an armada actually, and a crew of about 1000 men to man all our boats. We only have our party (4-6 people usually) and about 20 other crew members on board our ship and we normally don't bring other ships with us, they sit at dock and run tests and stuff. Our group of people have effectively taken over the harbor city where we make port most of the time. I'm just wondering if anyone has some good ideas to liven things up? We kind of get bored a lot by just killing things, looking for some RP fun. We have a druid, mystic thurge, cleric, pison, legendary captain, and some super good monk from the exalted deeds book.

b3jsd73jfx 03-08-06, 05:20 AM	No... he's the only "good" one. The majority of us are lawful neutral, one is chaotic neutral.

Gods only know how many ships have sunk and left treasure on the bottom, that should appeal to the greed of the nongood types. And of course the chance to make sure nothing evil is down there messing around out of sight ought to appeal to the exalted character. It might especially appeal to your druid - the sea floor is a wilderness of its own, and how often does he get the chance to explore that particular sort of wildland? This may sound like just another crunchy dungeon crawl idea, but it's a great opportunity for roleplay. There could be anything down there. Neutral ghosts, entirely unknown species, mysterious civilizations insidiously preparing under cover of water to destroy the land - you name it, it could be down there. The mystery factor is high, suspense and paranoia could run rampant, it could be a really tense and satisfying adventure.

Hope this helps a bit. Later
