Adventure on the High Seas- a D&D 5e campaign
Random Roleplay :: Non Anime Roleplays :: Dice RPG Topics
by White Mage Slave on Thu 11 Dec 2014, 2:48 pm
Here is where we will be playing the campaign I create sooner or later. I will lay down some groundwork rules right now-
RULE 0) ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO POST HERE. At the moment, that is only myself, David, and Spidey (and maybe Ragna or Flame if they ask nicely.)
1) You start at 5th level.
2) In addition to your normal inventory, you may have 500 GP, 1d10 x 25 GP in addition to that, one trinket (which I will assign to you), and one uncommon magic item. For a list of magic items, go here: http://tribality.com/2014/12/02/magic-items-by-rarity-dd-5th-edition-dmg/
3) If you have any questions on what a magic item does, just ask!
4) This campaign will involve lots of sea-travel, so you may take aquatic steeds, pets, or familiars based on your class.
5) This campaign WILL HAVE GUNPOWDER. If you want to start the game with proficiency in a gun, you must spend 250 GP to do so. The two guns available are pistols (250 GP, 1d10 piercing damage, range 30/90, ammunition, loading) or muskets (500 GP, 1d12 piercing, range 40/120, two-handed, ammunition, loading). Bullets cost 3 GP for 10. A powder horn costs 35 gold and is needed to fire the gun. A bomb costs 150 GP, and a keg of gunpowder costs 250 GP.
6) If you want to use a custom Background, just ask.
7) If you play as a dwarf, I have some customizations to them I'm willing to let you use that involve a love of ships and gunpowder.
If you wish, you can start play as a merman/mermaid. They have no stat changes, but have a swim speed of 40 and a land speed of 10, and can breathe underwater.
I will list the current characters signed up below:
1) Level 5 Human Ninja Assassin
2) Level 5 Forest Gnome Valor Bard
3) Level 5 Dragonborn Evocation Wizard
4) Level 5 Human Ranger
5) Level 5 Tiefling Paladin
At the start of this campaign, we'll be pulling into port at a central trading hub. Here's what your characters already know about this town:
1) The island's name, what the government is like, etc. (Just ask me in chat and I'll happily define everything. I'm just still typing it up and this is a placeholder post)
2) Where they like to hang out while on shore leave and relevant people at those locations; taverns, stores, temples, etc.
3) Where to spend or gain money if they need to

You have just pulled into port at the island town of Dirkton. This isn't your first time here; the busy town always has merchants buying and selling exotic goods, and as treasure hunters, you are repeat customers. Even from the ship you can see the forests in the distance beyond the town, and the volcano in the center of the island beyond that. Most people would be discouraged by this, but a population of dwarves has set up camp in the volcano, which has translated into a booming shipyard and forging business for Dirkton.
You, however, are not here to sell this time. Your last adventure dug up nothing, and you're back in town to shake down your contact, Baern, for information on better treasure hunting spots. He can most often be found in one of the local taverns, so you'd best get moving.
by Simply David on Mon 15 Dec 2014, 5:38 pm
Captain Quills was strolling through town, looking around at the streets that were as busy as ever. Seemed people were buying and selling as always. Good for them!
Quills though? Nope, nothing, not even a single flipping copper statue to sell, or piles of gold to buy improvements to her ship with. Nothing! Saying she was a little salty about these affairs would be an understatement.
"Baern better have something good for us..." She muttered to whoever may be with her. One such person was Biri, her dragonborn companion.
"I'm sure he'll have something for us this time," She shrugged, mostly only talking to try and calm the captain down. It didn't seem to have any affect on her whatsoever.
Have you seen this girl's bear Tibbers?

Back on the ship, Nanami leaned over the railing, letting the wind through her hair, although she kept her face wrapped for the sake of it. A distinctive sigh could be heard, and a voice popped up from below.
"Bored, Nanami? You can always swim with me!"
Nanami looked below, and could see the mermaid of the crew, Shalia, enjoying the ability to swim freely. A couple of people at other docks could see her and were gawking openly, but Nanami paid them no mind. "I'm guarding the ship, Shalia. And you, so don't go too far, alright?"
Shalia rolled her eyes a little. "Alright, alright!" She dived under the water again, letting her fish-tail make a big splash that almost reached Nanami's height.

You enter the first bar you can find. The Sleeping Dragon is closest, and the one Baern seems to like most. On the outside, it's a regular wooden building, two floors, like every other building on this row. There's a sign outside, with a metallic sleeping dragon, just in case people can't spot a tavern by the presence of drunken sailors.
On the inside, it's very loud, and very smelly. You can't quite tell if that's the smell of the drinks or the smell of the customers- you've been here many times and still are not used to it.
Many of the patrons stop and stare at the unusual folks who just walked in. After all, usually they just get humans and dwarves in here. Others, however, are so wrapped up in their drinks that they don't even realize there are people around them.
One such patron is Baern the Dwarf. Bald, red in beard and in cheeks, he's laughing while he gets a little too close to one of the barmaids. "'ey, 'ey! You look like a lovely lass. Why dontcha take a break from workin' and have some fun with me? 'ey?"

"If not, we'll have to get a new contact," said Roywyn, as she followed behind Quills.
Their last trip hadn't even left her a single coin richer. If they had many more failures like this; she'd have to take up street performing just to pay her bar tabs.
As she walked into the bar, she noticed Baern flirting with the barmaid. She had to resist the urge to grin mischievously as she approached him.
"Baern! Long time no see!" she said, enthusiastically. "How's that wife of yours? And the kids?"
(Roll for cockblocking deception. (12)+4=16)
Akta, meanwhile, stood on deck with her weapon ready. A seagull landed on her helmet; but she ignored it. It was her job to guard the ship; and she had to be ever vigilant!
It occurred to her that the seagull might be a familiar of some sort. You could never tell. But wasn't worried. She was ready to take down ANY spell-caster!
"I wouldn't try anything if i were you," she said, to the seagull. "I have an axe with your name on it!"

Baern looks confused at the new arrival. "Wife? Kids?! When did this happen?! Ach, I can't be laying about with a wife and kids!" He immediately tries to get away, dashing towards the door, forgetting to pay for his drink even.
Quills quickly put herself in the doorway, blocking Baern from his escape. On his other side was Biri, who almost looked apologetic but she wasn't moving.
"Ahoy Baern! You shouldn't just run away without saying hi, eh?" Quills gave him a smile that hid a very obvious intent. She was here for a reason, and her luck looked good so far that he was in the first bar they walked through.
Baern looked surprised to see her. "Oh! Quills! Well, would you look at that, I wasn't expectin' ya back so soon! Can it wait? I have a wife and kids I didn't know about and I'd best be on my way before they think me some sort of good for nothin'!"
by Simply David on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 12:18 am
"Can it Baern, we both know ya have no family to speak of," Quills responded jokingly, "Now how about we go sit down, huh?" she gestured back towards a table in the tavern.
by GenericSpider on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 4:51 pm
"So Baern," said Roywyn. "If ya ran away so fast, you must know how your last lead went,"
She took a step towards him, and leaned close. Uncomfortably close.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you gave us bad information on purpose,"
by White Mage Slave on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 8:07 pm
Baern at least has the presence of mind to look embarrassed.
"What? Bad information?! Nonsense! It may have just... been my very last piece of information. You guys have picked the area clean of all the good treasures I know of! It's not MY fault if you're too good at your jobs! And it most certainly isn't my fault if someone fed me bad information or someone beat you to a treasure, now is it?"
by Simply David on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 8:35 pm
"Oh come now, Baern, surely you have something else for us, right? We can't have gotten everything! Don't you think so Roy?" Quills passed the conversation over to raise the pressure on the dwarf.
Baern glanced to his side at the uncomfortably close halfling, then back to the captain and Dragonborn looming over him. A sudden seriousness entered his expression, a seriousness you haven't seen in the old dwarf before due to all of his drunken revelry. "Damn it, woman, the only thing I have left is the Grave of Captain Shorn! People stopped hunting for that years ago, for good reason! His greed and malice are so strong that even in death he won't let go of his gold. If you go hunting for that, you're as dead as everyone else who went after it. You'd best just find new places to hunt, because I'm not telling you where it is!"
You've heard the tales, the pirate captain who used to be the terror of these seas. He raided Dirkton more than once, even pillaging the temples and stealing sacred artifacts. He was infamous for sinking ships first and using his magic to take what he wanted after everyone on board was dead. As far as you know, no one knows where "The Grave of Captain Shorn" is, the place where he had placed all of his treasure and then had himself buried with it.
by GenericSpider on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 11:20 pm
(Posting this now cause I won't be on long)
Roywyn paused as Captain Shorn was mentioned. The name sounded familiar to her.
She remembered quite a few songs about the pirate.
(Roll for Intelligence (20)+2=22)
by White Mage Slave on Tue 16 Dec 2014, 11:31 pm
Things that Roywyn knows about Captain Shorn:
He was a human pirate captain, and even though there was no trace of Tiefling blood in him, others said he must have been the child of a devil to do what he had done. They said he had the strength of a giant, the marksmanship of an elf, the good looks of an incubus, and was at home underwater as he was above it. In Dirkton, his most infamous crime was one of his first: raiding the temple of Poseidon and stealing one of the temple treasures, the Amulet of the Waves. It had been a gift to the Wave-Dwarves to allow them to mine underwater, but Shorn used it for darker purposes. It was said he was cursed by Poseidon after that, so that his greed for gold would never know an end, but it is often said this was as much a punishment on the dwarves for allowing it to be stolen as it was a curse on Shorn.
Possibly the most legendary aspect of Shorn's crew besides Shorn himself were two saltwater crocodiles he kept as pets, Davy and Jones. Shorn didn't believe in captives, and sank ships quite often. Anyone who managed to make it to the water was soon croc-food. The image of Shorn riding one of his crocodiles into battle, bow in hand, is one bards continue to use today.
It was said he refused to let old age do him in, and one day, he decided to bury himself, his treasures and crew included. Some survived to tell the tale, and treasure hunters greedily went to dig him back up. None have ever returned, and so the Grave of Captain Shorn has been stated to be where treasure hunters go to die, joining Shorn in guarding his treasure from others who would dare take it.
by Simply David on Wed 17 Dec 2014, 5:49 pm
"Captain Shorn? So you know where it is?" Quills gave the dwarf a devious grin, catching the slip of his tongue.
Sure, she knew about this treasure. What treasure hunter didn't? It was like the wet dream of all treasure hunters in the area, but also a bit of a nightmare for the more superstitious. Quills though? She wasn't going to let superstition get between her and her gold.
Biri was a little more hesitant, "Pirates are not something I know very well. Is this such a good idea?"
Quills rolled her eyes, "I'm not letting some old ghost story the bards sing stop me. We'll be fine, long as Baern here has the right information for us," she turned her attention back to him, listening for his response.
by White Mage Slave on Wed 17 Dec 2014, 6:20 pm
The entire tavern goes quiet. Baern takes a moment to compose himself. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, haha. I don't know where that is! Why would you think that? Who the hell is Captain Shorn? Who knows? NOT ME HAHAHAHA"
The entire tavern remains quiet. Yeah, no one's buying it.
"Well that's awkward," Quills muttered, "Oi, lets take this outside," she 'gently' pushed Baern towards the door. He wouldn't have brought it up if he didn't have intentions to share it, it just might require a bit of... convincing. Few gold coins now could lead to the mother-lode of treasure hunts, from the way the patrons of this foul smelling bar were reacting.
Baern needed little prodding to leave the place, and immediately turned to Quills afterwards, looking serious again. "If we're going to do any more talking on this matter, it'll be on your ship. I don't want anyone else hearing about this, alright?!"
by Simply David on Thu 18 Dec 2014, 4:45 pm
Quills looked back at the bar, "You know what? I have no qualms with that. Hell you can save me the trouble of briefing my crew, lets go," she started leading the way to the ship, though she wasn't fool enough to take her eyes off of him with how he'd been acting.
by White Mage Slave on Sat 20 Dec 2014, 3:11 pm
As you approach the dock where your ship is, a man's voice calls out to you. "Hey, Baern!"
When you turn around, you can see that some of the people in the tavern had followed you out. You recognize them as a band of rival treasure hunters, lead by a tattooed human with spiky blue hair named Malark. "Why don't you let us in on the secret, too? We'll pay ya pretty handsomely for it."
Baern scowls. "Nothing you can pay me will be worth it, Malark. You lot would die for sure if you went after it. Go home, and forget about it. No treasure is worth your life."
Malark grins a little. "Oh, maybe not, but I don't have any plans on dying. We're every bit as good as Quills and her lot here, after all."
[DM POST: BACKGROUND INFO]
Malark and his crew are a band of up and coming treasure hunters that are more than a little bit annoyed that Quills has been having so much success.
If you would like to have a past with these rivals of yours, here's some info you can use to RP with:
MALARK: A rather scrawny human with tattoos and spiked blue hair, nothing about Malark would suggest he's really all that great a guy. His crew seems to like him enough, however, and he makes up for his lack of strength with brains. He is always slouching forward, as if holding up his head is too big a burden for the rest of him.
MELODY: A Tiefling sorceress that works with Malark. She's as pale as moonlight, and as pretty as an elf despite her horns and tail. She has braided hair the color of straw. She has more braided hair than some ships have ropes, some jest, but it's not too far off from the truth. Even fully braided it goes down to her ankles in curtains. She's friendly enough, often cracking puns or making impersonations, but she has a fondness for sinful pleasures that's in line with her demonic ancestry.
KRUSK: A half-orc, Krusk is the very obvious muscle of Malark's group. He's large, has triplet scars going over his left eye, and wears very large and very expensive golden necklaces. He's not the brightest candle in Malark's study, however, and is actually a lot friendlier than his appearance would suggest. He passes the time by humming to himself.
EREVAN: A half-elf swordsman, Erevan's beautiful appearance and manner of dress makes him stand out against the rest of the crew, to the point that some think he's the leader at first impression, or perhaps Malark's girlfriend at any rate. However, his personality is as blunt as Krusk's club, and he prefers gold and drink to the company of others. He's always chewing on something for some reason. His motto in life is if you don't stab him, he won't stab you. His golden eyes always make people think twice if he stares hard enough.
ZASHEIR: A rather ugly, pale-skinned and thin-haired human warlock in ragged robes. Given the choice of a book or talking to a person, he'd take the book any day. Given the choice of a book or a chess match, however, and he'd try to do both at the same time. Hints of tattoos can be seen under his robes. He likes to predict how badly things will go for people if they pursue their current course of action.
DARRAK: A local dwarf ship-builder who for some reason started hanging out with Malark. He's considered wise and spiritual, honest and traditional, as he considers a good dwarf to be. He wears a series of gold earrings on his left ear.
by GenericSpider on Sat 20 Dec 2014, 11:17 pm
As Roywyn turned to face Malark; she smiled as if she was greeting an old friend. However, this was far from the truth. Malark and his crew had been rivals of theirs since the start of their adventure; always competing for the same treasure.
"Ah, Malarkey; they still singing that nice song I wrote about you?" she said, in the most innocent voice she could muster.
by Simply David on Sat 20 Dec 2014, 11:31 pm
"As good as my crew?" Quills looked amused, "That's a joke, though not a very funny one," she then took a more aggressive tone, "Now piss off, me and Baern's got business what ya got no part of," She turned as if to ignore him, making light of his appearance as if he posed no threat.
Biri gave a nod towards Malark and his crew, as if to be the only friendly one here. However, due to her appearance as a dragonborn, on top of her nod following that line from Quills, it would likely come off as a silent threat instead of a kindly gesture.
by White Mage Slave on Sun 21 Dec 2014, 2:47 am
Malark looked annoyed, but smiled a little as the others started walking away. "Hey, Melody... ya mind?"
Melody holds up her hands and calls out a word. "SLEEP."
Instantly, both Biri and Roywyn fall to the ground, fast asleep. The rest of Malark's party draws their weapons. "Sorry Quills. We really do need to borrow Baern for a bit. We'll give him back after we're done, mkay?"
(For clarity's sake, you guys were about to get on your boat when this happened. The people who were at the boat must spend one turn to get to where Quills currently is.)
by Simply David on Sun 21 Dec 2014, 3:04 am
[Initiative: 15 + 4 + 2 = 21]
As quickly as they fell down Quills had her gun out, pointed right at Malark, "You really should rethink that," without taking her eyes off of them she shouted, "Oi! Nanami, can I get a hand over here?"
by GenericSpider on Sun 21 Dec 2014, 6:49 pm
(Initiative: 19 + 2 = 21)
Akta arrived at the scene just in time to see the bard and the wizard down; and the captain with weapons drawn. This would not do.
Clearly these ruffians were going to need a show of power to back off.
(Akta cast Thaumaturgy)
The ground around Akta started to shake; as she tapped into her natural abilities. If the enemy was dumb enough to mess with her after that display of power; they were going to get an axe to the head.
Meanwhile, Roywyn suddenly woke up to find the ground shaking; and a bunch of people she didn't like approaching with weapons drawn.
Somehow, she managed to get to her feet, and drew her sword.
"Must be a tuesday," she muttered, preparing for a fight.

Nanami instantly appears at the side of the ship. She takes out her bow, aims it, and fires in one smooth motion. Malark looks down to find an arrow sticking out of his chest. A moment later, he falls over, out for the count.
Nanami blinks as she thinks for a moment. "Oh. Wait. Was that... oops."

South Africa: Ford to equip its Pretoria plant with a 13.5 MWp Solar System
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA), the subsidiary of the American manufacturer Ford has just announced a plan to ensure its autonomy in terms of electricity and to green its production in South Africa by 2024. For the time being, the company wants to equip its assembly plant in Pretoria with a 13.5 MWp solar system. The solar carport will be built by off-grid supplier SolarAfrica.
While the public company Eskom is multiplying initiatives to improve the quality of its electricity network, Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) wants to become more energy self-sufficient. The subsidiary of the American automobile manufacturer Ford is launching its "Project Blue Oval". Between now and 2024, this project will enable the South African branch of the company to disconnect its Silverton factory in Pretoria from the South African national electricity network.
As part of this initiative, the car manufacturer will equip its car assembly plant in Pretoria with a 13.5 MWp photovoltaic solar system. It will be a carport covering the station air of 4,100 vehicles. The system, which will consist of 31,000 solar panels, will require an investment of 135 million South African rand, or nearly 88 million dollars. But this installation will only be able to provide 30 % of the annual electricity needs of the Silverton factory. Hence the need to find other sources of electricity supply.
Diversifying renewable energy sources
The carport equipped with solar panels at the Pretoria assembly site will be built by SolarAfrica, an off-grid supplier based in Irene in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Ford is making this project part of its climate change ambitions.

"I am proud to announce that the Blue Oval project in South Africa will set a benchmark for the Ford Motor Company's goal of using 100 per cent locally sourced renewable energy for all its manufacturing plants worldwide by 2035. It also moves us closer to being carbon neutral globally by 2050, both for our facilities around the world and for our supply base," said Andrea Cavallaro, Ford International Markets group operations manager.
In order to supply its South African facilities with electricity, the carmaker will necessarily invest in other renewable energy sources such as biomass, biogas and bio syngas. The latter will be produced from reused non-fermentable waste via a pyrolysis system. By investing in this source of energy production, the company will reduce the amount of its waste going to landfill.
Towards the reuse of treated wastewater
Ford's sustainable resource management policy addresses another no less crucial sector in South Africa, namely water. The manufacturer plans to invest in the reuse of treated wastewater. "Water is (…) a very precious and scarce resource in South Africa. It is too precious to be used just once, so we need to fundamentally change the way we use water, especially in the manufacturing sector," says David Sonnenberg, the Blue Oval project manager.
Within the rainbow nation, water resources are unevenly distributed across the west of the country, which has fewer resources than the east. But with climate change, water stress has become widespread in the country with water levels falling (in 2019) by 10-60% compared to 2018. The country must now rely on non-conventional water resources such as reuse of treated wastewater and desalination.

We'd been waiting to hear the fate of ABC's Marvel Television series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as of today, we have an answer.
According to Variety (as well as Deadline, THR, take your pick), ABC has renewed the Marvel tv series for a 7th season.
Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen co-created the series for Marvel Television Studios and ABC, and this renewal comes before the 6th season premiere.
Variety also mentions the in-the-works ABC series focusing on Marvel female heroes, with Allan Heinberg set to write. It's already gotten a production commitment from the network, but that's about the extent of anyone's knowledge thus far.

Cup of Java: This just in.
+ Guinness under fire for using Wolverhampton's motto. "The advertising agency behind Guinness's new TV promotion has come under fire from the Black Country - for using Wolverhampton's city motto.
Civic dignitaries are frothing at the mouth at the use of "Out of darkness comes light" as the Irish stout's new slogan.
The 19th Century College of Heralds crest carries the inscription Out of Darkness Cometh Light, and anyone wanting to use it has to ask permission from the mayor, said Labour Councillor Geoff Foster.
But the ad agency, Abbott Mead Vickers, said the use of the phrase was coincidental and no copyright or trademark issues were at stake.
Councillor Foster said: "To use it on an advertising slogan for Irish beer without acknowledging the city or asking permission is a bit cheeky. They could have acknowledged where it came from - but just to pinch it after we have had it for more than 100 years is a bit rich."
But city mayor Councillor John Rowley, a member of the Campaign for Real Ale, was more laid-back. "I think it's a very good advert in its own way and I don't think you can have copyright on a motto."
+ American Express is returning to old spokesman Jerry Seinfeld in a new "webisode" which shows the daily adventures of Seinfeld and Superman. You can view the "webisode" here. Shot on location in NYC, the film was co-written by Seinfeld and directed by Barry Levinson. Seems sort of odd that they are returning to Seinfeld now. He's not in the limelight as he had been when they started to use him in their ad campaigns. And what's with this new term "webisode"? Strange.
+ A jeans company in Australia makes a very bad call, attempting to use employees wearing t-shirts as advertising.
+ Advertisers planning makeover for men. Excerpt from the article: "Many American companies have been rethinking their approach to men. Even beer companies, long the standard-bearers of traditional male attitudes, have noticed something different. Miller Brewing said that its research found that men were not content with the bikini-babe fraternity-party image of much beer advertising.
"Men are tired of being depicted as Neanderthals, as if they have no mental capacity and can't make choices," said Tom Bick, senior brand manager for the Miller trademark.
In his research, Bick has found that men are more able to express their feelings and more willing to see women as people rather than party accessories.
As a result of this research, Miller has reworked its new television commercials, which focus on Miller's beer as an intelligent alternative to other beers and portray its drinkers as people who stand apart from the crowd. In one ad for Miller Lite that started during the winter, people in a long line fall into one another like dominoes until one person steps out of the line and orders a Miller."
The 30-second television spot, the viability of which some have said is threatened by ad-skipping machines like TiVo and its ilk, could live on in another form: as Web advertising.
Introduced in January by Manhattan-based online ad solutions provider Unicast, the full-screen video commercial has enjoyed a successful launch and could provide a way for marketers to use TV resources to strengthen their online presence, the company said.
The ads work by loading imperceptibly when a user first visits a site that employs the format. Once the 2-megabyte file is fully loaded, it begins playing the next time the user clicks a link within the same site. The full-screen ads run at 30 frames per second, the same picture quality you'd find on TV, and they include a button to close the ad if you'd rather not watch.
It was important to give users the same control over Web ads that they have while watching TV, when they can skip uninteresting ads by changing the channel, or in print, when they can turn the page, said Allie Savarino, Unicast's senior vice president. Moreover, because the format loads in the background, it allows both dial-up and broadband users to view the ads, she said.
This new technique will still face many challenges, especially if it is implimented in the same way pop-up ads have been. There's a large difference between being forced static banners (or animated banners) on a page, and being forced to watch 30 second spots when you're not interested. Especially on the web, when many people are surfing for specific information and are easily pissed off with being force-fed ad messages.
+ Trojan's new ads in the UK rip off Coco De Mer's Ads from 2001. Tsk tsk.

Obituary of Francis Carraro
Francis R. Carraro "Bob" passed away peacefully on January 8, 2023, on his 89th birthday at the Riverview Senior Resort in Palm Bay, FL.
Bob was born in Brooklyn, NY to A. Frank and Margaret Carraro in 1934. He graduated in 1952 from Ft. Hamilton High school, Brooklyn NY. Received an AA Degree in 1961 from NY City Community College and BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1969 from New York Institute of Technology.
After attending one year of college in 1952, Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served active duty from 1953-1957 in the 537 Bomber Squadron of the Strategic Air Command. His primary role was "Crew Chief" working on the long-range Boeing B-47 Stratojet Bomber. During his military career he was stationed in England, Amarillo Texas, Orlando Florida, and Plattsburg NY and is a Korean War Veteran. After completing his military service, Bob worked for Northop Grumman as he continued his studies at NYIT.
Bob met his wife Anne on the Jersey shore and later married in September 1961 in Brooklyn, NY. In 1964, they purchased their first home in Deer Park, NY. They welcomed two children during that time Karen and Bob Jr. Bob then took a job as a Sales Engineer for Walworth Valve Company and was relocated to Pembroke, MA in 1972 where they welcomed Kevin into the family. Bob continued his career as a Sales Engineer with R&G Sloane and Anchor Darling Valve Company before retiring to Indialantic, Florida in 1996. Bob was known for his close and personal relationships with his clients and maintained their friendship for many years and as well as receiving numerous "Salesman of the Year" awards which would be no surprise to anyone who knew him. In addition to his full-time employment, Bob also got his real estate license and became a Realtor with Jack Conway in Pembroke, MA in the early 1980s.
Bob was an active and lifelong member of the Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus where he volunteered his time and held positions of increasing leadership and eventually served as "Grand Knight" in 1970's at St. Thecla's Parrish in Pembroke, MA. Bob and Anne were also dedicated parishioners of Holy Name of Jesus Church in Indialantic, FL.
In 1974 Bob founded the youth soccer program in Pembroke, MA where he coached and volunteered in the program. He was a long-time dedicated Boston fan of the Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox and soccer and spent countless hours cheering his teams on as well as cheering on his own children and grandchildren at their own sporting events. Bob and Anne also spent years renovating the family's 26 acre "Herring Brook Farm" in Pembroke where the family owned horses, chickens, rabbits and sheep. Together they hosted many family holidays and get togethers including a large family reunion in 1983.
Anne was the love of his life, and they enjoyed many years of travelling in retirement including extensive travel to Europe and numerous cruises with the "Flamingo Group" and trips to see family. When Anne passed away six years ago Bob was truly heartbroken. He pressed on and always enjoyed hearing about his children and grandchildren's accomplishments and celebrated right along with them. Bob was a quiet, unassuming guy who had a great sense of humor which he kept up until his last moments. He will be greatly missed but we are all happy he will be reunited with the love of his life, Anne.
We would like to thank the dedicated staff at Riverview Senior Resort for their care and support of dad over the last six years.
Bob is survived by his sister Betty (Tom) Mulroy, Daughter Karen (Bruce) Holt of Melbourne Beach, Sons Francis R (Bob Jr.) (Michelle) Carraro Jr. of Milford, Ohio, and Kevin (Ashley) Carraro of Melbourne, Grandchildren Evan Holt, Katie (Nathan) Hyburg, Kelly (Kyle) Dunlap, Michael Carraro, Ryan Carraro and Sam Carraro, Step Grand Children Chris (Eilbra) Holt, Cody (Shayna) Holt, Sheina (Mathew) Millar, Step Great Grandchildren Jacob and Malachai Millar, Corbin and Ruby Holt as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and longtime friends.
A Visitation, Funeral Mass and Burial will be held on Monday, January 30, 2023 at 10:30am at Holy Name of Jesus Church, 3050 N. Hwy A1A, Indialantic, FL. A celebration of Bob's life will immediately follow at the home of his daughter Karen Holt in Melbourne Beach. All are welcome to attend.

Mark Wallis will be aiming to win the Coronation Cup for a third time at Romford tonight (8.53pm).
The Lakenheath handler has two of the six runners in the final of the Category One event, including odds-on favourite Brigadier Bullet and third favourite Chubbys Caviar.
Brigadier Bullet, last year's Essex Vase finalist, won his semi-final by six and a quarter lengths in 34.95 seconds, while Chubbys Caviar proved too strong to win in 35.35.
Wallis' two previous successes in the event came with Reel Trickyone in 2014 and Roswell Romanov two years ago.
Hockwold's Patrick Janssens will also be represented in the final by Desperado Dan, who is the second favourite with the bookmakers to win.

For the purpose of the PlushBeds evaluation, we'll be dwelling on the Botanical Bliss in its "Soft" orientation. This mattress features a soft layer as its very first layer, medium layer in the middle, and company layer as its base.
Cover: PlushBed's cover is built with organic wool and cotton making it soft and supplies the sleeper with a satisfying level of comfort.
Latex Layers: Again, there are 3 areas after the cover. These layers comprise 100% natural Dunlop Latex.

This is definitely a great alternative if you tend to sleep hot during the night.Regarding the specific configuration, assembling the Soft layer on top makes it possible for some preliminary deep sinkage into the bed mattress. This is is then somewhat safeguarded by the Medium latex section as you shift into the Firm section/base listed below.

This describes the amount of disruption you and your partner will likely feel from one side of the mattress to another.Basically, evaluating the bed mattress' movement transfer will let you understand simply how troubled you'll be by your bed mate's motions in the night.Experts demonstrated this motion transfer test by dropping a 10 lb steel ball from various heights of 4, 8 and 12 inches.

Why an accounting scandal at Alibaba's new film company spells trouble
Is Alibaba's due diligence team sleeping on the job?
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba said today that it has found accounting problems at its newly acquired television and film production company, now known as Alibaba Pictures. The scandal, which raises questions about the company's due diligence over the course of a recent buying binge, comes as Alibaba plans to launch one of the year's largest initial public offerings in the US this fall.
In a statement (pdf), Alibaba said that new management of the Hong Kong company formerly known as ChinaVision had uncovered "non-compliant treatment of financial information" as well as"insufficient provision for impairments of certain assets," suggesting that the ChinaVision's accounting was questionable and its balance sheet not as healthy as it appeared. Shares in the Hong Kong-listed Alibaba Pictures have been halted from trading since this morning, and the company said it will delay reporting earnings for the first half of the year.
ChinaVision is one of 30 deals Alibaba has completed since the start of last year, spending a total of about $6.6 billion, according to Dealogic. In March, Alibaba agreed to acquire ChinaVision for 6.24 billion Hong Kong dollars ($804 million), gaining rights to English Premier League football and announcing a deal to work with famous directors like Wong Kar-wai. Hong Kong martial artist star Jet Li sits on the company's board. By expanding Alibaba's footprint in China's expanding entertainment industry, the deal was meant to give Alibaba an edge over rivals like Tencent.
Instead, it now casts doubt on how thorough Alibaba has been in inspecting its purchases. "People will take a look at their future M&A more carefully," Raymond So, dean of the business school at Hang Seng Management College in Hong Kong, told Bloomberg. "They have to strengthen their corporate governance so that it's subject to increased checks and balances."
In its regulatory filing (pdf, p. 30), Alibaba named "difficulties integrating into our operations the…financial reporting of companies we acquire" as one of its risks. "Our significant acquisition activity has occurred recently, and we do not have substantial experience in integrating major acquisitions," the company said.
A separate but still worrying issue is exactly how the auditing of Alibaba Group, based in Hangzhou, will work. New Chinese regulations may begin requiring that non-mainland firms audit Chinese firms through cooperation with local Chinese auditors, but Chinese secrecy laws don't allow information to be passed on to overseas regulators.
The company's current auditor is the Hong Kong affiliate of PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the majority of the auditing is being done by the Hong Kong auditors and will be signed off by PWC in the US, according to a person familiar with the matter. Others say that because most of Alibaba's employees are in China, it stands to reason that mainland PWC auditors—who have been banned from auditing US-listed Chinese companies—are handling much of the case, Peking university finance professor Paul Gillis pointed out in May.


These days you can't roll too far in Portland, Oregon, without stumbling upon a marijuana dispensary. Medical marijuana has been legal in Oregon since 1998, but since the voters of Oregon overwhelmingly voted to legalize recreational marijuana in November 2014, the industry has caught fire faster than a perfectly rolled joint. With a whopping 167 dispensaries within the city limits, the green cross identifying the businesses has become one of the city's most ubiquitous signs. With literally thousands of people applying for licenses to sell recreational marijuana statewide, there are millions of dollars pouring into the industry, and also into the state's coffers — the state collected $3.48 million in taxes in January 2016 alone, far surpassing its wildest estimates. It is easier than ever before to get marijuana in Oregon.
