[Asinjin]

Everyone gets 250xp with bonus xp to follow.

[Asinjin]

Two weeks to post ideas for the incursion on to Speck.

[Valdis]

During the 2 weeks, word of Q's drinking adventure makes the round of the ship.  Gwen becomes inspired and decides to immortalize the event in song...

Drinking Pace

[Verse 1]
Crewmates, crewmates, tell the deckhands
That Q’s reign has just begun
I got my first stipend on Badger Five
Then I challenged the biggest one

[Verse 2]
Barkeep, barkeep, please just witness
I ain’t layin’ down my mug
I near kissed death off my Doom Chariot
Forgive me—now watch me chug

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Badger, Badger) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Trust me) Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough
And it’s hard to stay upright when there’s no rail to lean on

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q says, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t let my “boss talk” start a brawl
Now we gotta keep the pace

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the drink
Keep the drink
Q says, we gotta keep the pace

[Verse 3]
Tell me, big guy, when I outdrink you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you nod while I talk about me, me
Just hide behind your pride? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Captain, captain) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Don’t ditch me) Everybody’s sweatin’ ’cause the tab is rough
Well, it’s hard to act the boss when there’s no crowd to lean on

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Crew, we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) I’m level one, but I still run this hall
Right now we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) “Avian are better”—yeah, that’s my thing
Crew, we gotta keep the pace

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Oh, we gotta keep the pacek
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Crew, we gotta keep the pace

[Bridge]
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I’ve been rollin’ on the Doom Chariot
Through Badger Five’s tight bays
I don’t like the way they look at me
Like my crown’s a joke they made
Sometimes I wait forever
For them to say I’m right
So no one sees me wobblin’
Tryna walk a straight-line tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
(Captain, crew) Everybody wants somebody to toast
(There’s tabs I’ve run I can’t erase)
Everybody wants somebody to roast (And every night I swear I’m great)
Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough (It’s hard with these blue guys in your face)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the drink (First they were cool, Now they’re not cool)

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t you let your pride start a brawl
Right now, we gotta keep the pace

(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace
Tryna stand up, tryna stand up, yeah
drink (Ow!)
Keep the pace, keep the pace
Everybody, keep the pace
(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everybody wants somebody to roast
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Oh, na-na, oh, na-na)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the pace (Oh!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)

Well done. That's high praise for someone who nearly died falling off his seqway. I sure hope he lives long enough to fulfill his diabolic destiny. The hype for Q rivals that of the premiere of The Phantom Menace back in 99.

[Asinjin]

250xp for the song, very nice

[Hero]

Q is humbled and deeply honored by your tribute.

Kidding.

“Human singing is similar to that of other animals, like a braying donkey. It’s no where near as sophisticated or complex as that of a dohwar serenade. Your lyrics were sufficiently descriptive of my majesty once you get past the noise you were making. Maybe next time work in how vibrant and lustrous my head plumage is.”

Q is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters of yours.

[Asinjin]

The crew member you was assigned to be the purser is a halfling sized dark red haired, big nosed fellow.  He mumbles a lot under his breath and is meticulous about counting coins.

[Asinjin]

Another one of the crew is a golden scaled lizardfolk type from Toril.

I’m enjoying him more every session. It’s pretty liberating to turn off my internal filter and say whatever pops into my head.

We’re returning to Maj first, correct? Enzo would like to track down a tool to assist with Creaturelore checks in the Void - some type of field guide or reference book.

[Malchia]

Cornelis asks the captain and/or first mate where he can get additional ammo for the Gem Cannon in case he starts getting low.

Ocular asks the captain and/or first mate if there's any type of magnifying device that can be affixed to our ship, or himself, that could help amplify his vision while in the Spelljammer helm. He offers to keep an eye on the away team while they carry out the mission. Since he can see in all directions at once, he thought he might be able to prevent anyone or anything sneaking up on them while they travel to the mountain fortress.

After talking to each other and the tinker away team member Agnax, the respond.  "The gems would have to be made and enchanted, so a caster that can make magic items.  The regular ammunition just requires a smith with the correct talents."

"There are magical enchantments that can do such things, but we don't have the skill to enchant the helm further."

You are going to Maj.  You can look around, but they don't plan on staying long.
