A helmsman, navigator and any other hirelings will have to be paid for as per hiring a hireling.

All ships crew, including marines, expects that profits will be dividing according to guild law with 4 shares going to officers and 1 share going to each crewmember. The Hiring Hall also levies a 5 sp/crewman on all ships annually. Also note, crews do expect to be housed and fed when not in Mithril. Additionally, lengthy periods between payments will result in crew leaving to other ships.


The signing fee is to be paid at the time of signing.

Now that you are refitting the Tallywhacker, I'm going to bump this back up to the top and make it sticky.

Somebody, possibly the guy that actually OWNS the ship, might want to keep track of what is actually on the ship.

[Hussar]

Explosive Bolt - antipersonel weapon - painted red - equal to an 8d6 fireball ref save dc 17 - Cost 1750 gp each

Anti Shipping bolt - painted blue - 6d6 additional piercing damage. Living targets get ref save DC 15 for half - Cost 675 each

Armor-piercing bolt - painted white - ignores hardness when determining damage (3d6) Cost: 1200 gp each

I suggest we start a thread named ship equipment. Then we all post what we know or think is on the ship. I really have no idea except the wand of fireballs that was mentioned last night, 12 heavy catapults, 4 ballistae, 200 bolts, 240 catapult shots, and Endil's mundane equipment (minus the shortbow and mundane arrows which went to Evelyn). The list of Endil's equipment can be posted by him.

Obviously we have barrels on board b/c we had to guard the water supplies once. I would imagine there is an equipped kitchen, miscellaneous furniture, buckets, and ropes, but that is just a guess.

There are 19 torches with continual flame cast on them that I made on the way to the island long ago (one was given by me to the shaman of the dwarves).

We have 5503 GP in the ships fund, as well as some magic equipment from the party's treasure and Endil that can be sold also (the one's no one can use).

It sounds like each person in the party will have to kick in about 2000 GP to refit the ship and hire the crew (I think the last trip cost us 15,000 GP?). That will leave no money for equipment, except what we can trade for the magic items we will not use. I think that this refitting sum should be deducted from the next adventure (meaning that the crew and officers split the net profits, not gross profits - that way there is money for the next voyage).

As far as the party's/Endil's magic equipment, the only two I can use is the amulet of natural armor and the broach of blinding light. I would like to have one or both of these depending on what other people need.

Note: About the net vs gross profit thing. That was done for the voyage to the island. Kelly, you received an extra 5000 gp (roughly) for a total of around 10k. See the Treasure list for details.
