[pnpgm] Re Update #41 - Raddok

4/10 ~ 2:30 PM

Raddok is dismayed to realize they lost his new grapple overboard, and he puts it down on the needed supplies list, hoping to have it replaced at ship's expense, although he'll pay for it if he must. It turns out to have been a useful investment after all - even if he didn't know it was being used till too late! 

At least the tools in the healing Kit are clean enough to use again, after boiling them in water for 15 minutes. He reviews the growing list & considers offering a copper for more fresh fruit at the next port.

Z'leyra's offer of a magical gift awes the miner & his eyes start to glaze over. He does not really need anything -  that he's aware of - & it seems a lot of work for her to do for them. He nods at her, but says he must think about it. He was only doing what he felt was right at the time. He thinks as he helps clean  up the ship's rail and deck. If he could have a magical item... He assists with the repairs to the rear guard rail, and asks Dorhak that - if he had a choice, would he choose first to have a magical weapon or armor? He listens to the dwarf's comments (OOC - if they are blistering, that's fine; he'll just ask someone else - he probably will anyway.) What about a magical shield, he muses to himself? Raddok kinda likes that idea, but would Z'leyra be able to make a banded shield like the one he already had? Or work magical elements into the old one? 

It seems such a great gift. Maybe he should just ask Z'leyra what she herself thinks he could best use - the answer would be interesting to someone as unfamiliar with using magic as he was. He had the experiences of seeing such weapons used, and such armor's usefulness, but never had any himself.

6:30 PM Raddok had noticed, with some concern, the presence of mermaids, but the situation appeared to be being handled by others, so he concentrated on finishing his dinner & cleaning his armor & weapons, getting ready for his watch shift at 7 PM.

4/11 ? time

(weapons note - today Raddok is wearing his great sword today. He has slung his shield on his back, using the sling-harness strap fastened to the inside of the shield, kept tucked away with leather thongs when he's actually using it.) [OOC: I've seen shields worn this way in movies, so know it's feasible, probably attached to the shoulders of the leather armor via attached leather loops, & I always considered it part of the shield's usefulness. If you don't allow it - fine; just tell me]

[OOC: Question for GM or whoever want to guess or do the math on Raddok's bets on the knife duels. He bet 3 brass bits on Kiet for the duel & Kiet loses the first one. He bets 2 brass bits on the 2nd, still on Kiet. He wins this time, but odds were never mentioned. I would think the odds would be against Kiet at at least 5:1, but maybe 10:1 or more. I feel he would not make the bet unless odds were 10:1 - he needs his brass bits. Any suggestions for how much Raddok be allowed to win? This is probably a GM question to answer, but input from anyone ok with me. He's not so comfortable pouch-wise to refuse honest winnings & may need them. - lol]
