New one is up, and aptly named

[IndigoFenix]

Indeed.

Good to see Andi's going back to doing her actual job.  I doubt that she's going to actually admit out loud she was wrong, but it looks like she's realized on some level that she's not really cut out for giving orders.

I think they can just untie Bandana while she's busy on the mechanics and she just won't notice or care.

He's certainly on a roll after a bit of a hiatus.

The last two rows seem really random though, random rock on the deck that nobody apparently noticed before, and 'catching boulders' seems like a random thing.

The rock Roy threw at the giant was most likely a remnant of the original bombardment by the giants. As for why they can catch boulders (or other heavy items probably), I assume that's a D&D thing. I dunno, I've never played it.

I'm more amuses that the loss of a stable captain is once more leading to chaos.

Yeah. Giants in 3.5 have racial abilities to do with chucking and catching boulders.

Giants relish melee combat. They favor massive two-handed weapons and wield them with impressive skill. They have enough cunning to soften up a foe with ranged attacks first, if they can. A giant’s favorite ranged weapon is a big rock.
Rock Throwing (Ex)
Adult giants are accomplished rock throwers and receive a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls when throwing rocks. A giant of at least Large size can hurl rocks weighing 40 to 50 pounds each (Small objects) up to five range increments. The size of the range increment varies with the giant’s variety. A Huge giant can hurl rocks of 60 to 80 pounds (Medium objects).
Rock Catching (Ex)
A giant of at least Large size can catch Small, Medium, or Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape).
Once per round, a giant that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for a Medium one, and 25 for a Large one. (If the projectile provides a magical bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that amount.) The giant must be ready for and aware of the attack in order to make a rock catching attempt.

Catapult Stone +2?

Catapult Stone +2?

What can I say?
Someone somewhere saw a boulder and decided what it needed was magic.

Alternatively, Thor had some fun around these parts with a toy slingshot.

Funnily enough I recall hearing some old dnd story where a magically inclined kingdom went to war with another kingdom where the geology created some kind of dampener to active magicusing.

They fixed that problem by magically enchanting seige engines and their ammo at home and bringing those on their warships.  A ballista that shoots meteor swarm spells sounds like something out of modern military hardware.

And they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming...

That was an annoying example of a bad link, because I assumed a new one was not out, hehe.

The dramatic, rousing speech also happens to be the most narratively powerful fuel known to mankind.

I do like Andi.  It was foolish to throw a coup mid-crisis, but that's chaotic for ya (even chaotic good).  They literally were sky pirates after all, it's natural this fate-of-the-world thing would chafe.

I particularly like that, when faced with an engineering problem, she dropped everything to fix it.  I respect that a lot.  She probably actually just saved the ship (from the situation resulting from her mistake).

Ah sorry, if I do another update that doesn't make it obvious I'll note it in the post.
