Going with the picture she has 12 guns, 6 per side. Which is kinda cool. Does she also have a weapon locker with pistols and rifles?[I would guess we are using the early fire arm rules?]<br/>Are there 'mates' or other npc officers? How much leeway do we have on describing cargo that is on board?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Four canons were lost.  The ships has a weapons locker, located in the officer's quarters on the forecastle of the ship.  Basic firearms as per Ultimate Combat.  For the moment there are not repeaters (i.e. 6-shooters and other multi-bullet guns), and I'll compile a list of which ones are available.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257865.msg12742551#msg12742551">Quote from: Mister Ugly on 30-10-2016, 15:20:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I am a bit of a sailing era buff. okay I love stuff like this. For those interested and with Silvers okay here is some detail on the <em>The Ardent Maiden.</em> She looks to be what is called a Carrack. These are deep water sailing ships that were the main ocean going ship of the 14th -16th century. The ship is probably 25 feet wide at the widest point [beam] and 75-80 feet long [maybe even a 100 depending on Silver]. It has a large cargo capacity and can make about 7mph [6.5 kts] under good conditions.  3 masts with the rear called a lanteen rig, the fore and main mast are square rigged. She would have had a normal crew of around 45 but I could easy have seen that bigger with the 'Glorious Endeavour' as well as stuffed with cargo and passengers. [possible other npcs if allowed for color].</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This I will ahve to look over, though I suspect I'll be using a a modified ship template from the ones in Pathfinder vehicles.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257865.msg12742551#msg12742551">Quote from: Mister Ugly on 30-10-2016, 15:20:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">There is a hole on the port side so I have to ask did the ship loose any guns on that side? Titch never liked that water elemental anyway but the owner had insisted.<br/>Based on what Silver has posted I am guessing current crew of around 20-25 barely enough to make things work and have 3 shifts. Titch would have the main cabin at the rear and he is known to sleep very little and has a rumbling bellow that can be heard below decks. at times even in a raging storm.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The elementals are standard in all ships, in order to get them to move faster (roughly increasing speed by x3; I'll let you know the exact speed of the A. Maiden when I sort it out).<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257865.msg12742551#msg12742551">Quote from: Mister Ugly on 30-10-2016, 15:20:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The PC's should expect to be 'asked' to pitch in to repair the ship. Let us say those that don't might find that the crew seems to forget their meals and other things.<br/><br/>Oh Silver that reminds me. Is there rum rations?  :P :P</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The PCs would more or less be exempt from being ordered around by ships captain, as they are not strictly part of the crew.  Tich has command over any sailor PCs, but not over the mercenaries (including mercenary NPCs), who are stationed on boat by order of the crown.<br/><br/>Not sure about the rations, but assume so unless I figure otherwise.
