Overall good, I was having a little trouble following the split up scenes as well in this one.

Suggested fix in the Realms Feedback.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

Keeping up with the post rate or keeping up with the scenes. @Ndreare also commented on the scenes being confusing> I can see it with people posting saying people on on deck who are already in the hold. I will take this comment to heart and try to change the way I post. The plan for posting will be something like the following

Ship's Cargo Hold near aft hatch
Captain Blackfoot
The Old Man
Ceulean


X and Y happened

Ship's Cargo Hold fore starboard side
Ellisto
Triss
Tiberius
Jarvis


Everyone died

Ship's Helm Steerage Deck
Balanor


Keeping the ship doing stuff


Hopefully by posting this way it will be more clear who is in what scene. Also everyone should control the extra's they made. There are no extras beyond the named ones. So the ship's total crew right now is 16 people.

I would vote but the poll isn't open any more. I might have given it a 2, but now you get a 0! Good stuff, thanks for letting a squidward have his own boat and crew.
Captain Blackfoot
Captain Blackfoot, Captain of the Roaring Manticore
Pace: 5(d4); Parry: 7; Toughness: 7(2)
Combat-Relevant Edges and Abilities
  • +1 to Allies' Shaken recovery rolls in Command Range (5").

    Leadership Edges aren’t cumulative with the same Edge from other leaders. Characters may benefit from different Leadership Edges by the same or different leaders, however.
    , Natural Leader,
    Quick characters have lightning-fast reflexes and a cool head. Whenever you are dealt an Action Card of Five or lower, you may discard it and draw again until you get a card higher than Five.
    Characters with both the Level Headed and Quick Edges first draw their additional card and choose which to take. If that card is a Five or less, the Quick Edge may be used to draw a replacement until it’s Six or higher.
    ,
    The commander has a natural grasp of small unit tactics and can take advantage of rapidly changing situations.
    A Tactician is dealt an extra Action Card each round of combat—kept separate from his own cards. At the start of the round, he may discard it or give it to any one allied Extra in Command Range. The player or GM controlling the receiving character can decide whether to accept and replace her current Action Card, or discard it.
    Surprise: Tacticians don’t get their extra card if Surprised, but they can give it to an ally who’s Surprised if they like!
    ,
    If the duelist hasn’t acted this turn, she may declare the Defend maneuver after an opponent declares a Fighting attack against her but before he rolls. She discards her current Action Card and her Parry bonus is +6 instead of +4 that turn.
    ,
    [*]Rogues add an additional d6 to their damage when they have the Drop on their victim, or the victim is Vulnerable. This applies to Athletics (throwing), Fighting, or Shooting attacks.
    ,
    A duelist makes surgical strikes with one-handed piercing weapons with a Min Str of d6 or less, adding +2 to her damage total.
    .
Wounds: 0/3; Fatigue: 0/2
Bennies: 3/3; Golden Bennies: 1/1
