Romgrah Squalo
You went to a tavern called the Formidably Maid, a notorious pirate hangout in Port Peril, eager to start to find your career father or learn of his whereabouts. While you were there, however, a dashing and flirtatious corsair caught your eye, and after a whirlwind night of booze and romance, you found yourself beaten senseless and stuffed in a sack, carried off to who knows where.

Rookda Nivalcar
You came to a tavern in Port Peril called the Formidably Maid in search of your fate. You’re not sure how many drinks you had, but they quickly went to your head and you passed out on the table before you found your destiny—unless it lay in the bottom of a bottle. Then again, maybe you found your destiny after all...

Krogahn Saltsteel
While drinking at a tavern called the Formidably Maid in Port Peril last night, you got into a brawl with some of the other patrons. You handled yourself well, but a group of rough-looking characters ganged up on you and overwhelmed you, knocking you unconscious.

Rorick "Rory" Pendergrass
You went to a tavern called the Formidably Maid, a notorious pirate hangout in Port Peril, eager to start your career as a buccaneer and follow in your family's tradition. While you were there, however, a dashing and flirtatious corsair caught your eye, and after a whirlwind night of booze and romance, you found yourself beaten senseless and stuffed in a sack, carried off to who knows where.

Grommet Pelky
You came to Port Peril in search of your destiny, and after a few drinks at a tavern called the Formidably Maid, you went down to the docks to take in a view of the sea. The last thing you remember is a blow to the back of your head and the waves rushing up to meet you.

Xavius Vordo
You found yourself spinning tales of heroes and pirates in the Formidably Maid. The group of men gathered around you seemed completely enthralled with your stories and would buy you flagons of ale to hear more. As the night drew on, your tales became wilder and more exaggerated, even by your standards. Fearing something was wrong, you finished your tale and excused yourself. As least that is what you think happened. The events are very hazy.

All
You all wake the next morning remembering the night before — the ringing laughter of a wild night, the heady joy of excess, the scents of rich stewed meat and perfume lingering in their nostrils. This is quickly replaced with the reality of the moment — a pounding headache, the sickly taste of cheap wine in your mouth, the hard floor, a rhythmic creaking noise, and the feeling of the room swaying, as if they were still drunk. Before you can do much more than sit up, however, several pairs of heavy footsteps enter the dark room, and the harsh light of a lantern painfully spears your eyes. The light reveals 7 men standing around you. 6 of them are armed with saps, someone of them casually hitting the palm of their hands with them impatiently. The last man wears an expression that might be mistaken for pain but which is clearly an attempt at a smile bruises his face as he cracks the whip in his hand and screams. “Still abed with the sun over the yardarm? On your feet, ye filthy swabs! Get up on deck and report for duty before Cap’n Harrigan flays your flesh into sausage skins and has Fishguts fry ye up for breakfast!”

Rookda Nivalcar - Cleric

Rookda's head was a haze. How did he end up here. Who were these people. Was there any more wine. He tried getting to his feet but fell back down. He was more successful on the second attempt and managed to keep his feet.

"Report to duty? The last thing I remember is drinking in the Formidably Maid.
" looking at the seven men that comes to greet him Rooka decides they don't have enough brains to know what is going on.
Aiee Captain Harrigan be waiting you say. "Hey, hey you lazy lot you heard him. Captain Harrigan be waiting. Thinking the captain would have answers Rookda heads for the deck.

Krogahn Saltsteel

W'ere be ah? thought Krogahn, his eyes fluttering open. He slowly started to pull himself to his feet when the whip crack behind made him jump. It felt like he had been dragged the length of Port Peril behind a horse, the way his head was hammering.

After a few seconds, he realized where he had ended up. The smell of dirty working men and salt spray mixed with the cracks of whips and the clangs of shackles were all to familiar to Krogahn.

Sitting up, his head was in his hands. His bandanna gone, the first thing that comes to his mind is..'I'm on a ship. I am not supposed to be on a ship'. Before he could try to surmise why he heard the footsteps and his eyes caught the light of that lantern. Just his luck. Press ganged.

He listened for a moment, hearing the name of the captain, not one that he recognized. He licked his lips and shook his head slowly.

"Sorry gents but we'll be having breakfast in our quarters today, if you could kindly tell the porter to bring things down to break our fast and then if the captain wants to come and tell us where our voyage is taking us we'll be happy to receive him."

Still able to maintain some cheeky humor. At least they couldn't take that away from him. He looked around the parts of the ship he could see in disdain. Poorly maintained. A travesty.

Romgrah is still trying to recollect what was going on knowing that he hasn't set foot on a ship...yet...Piking up bits and pieces of what the other people were saying the half orc could only assume that he was being press ganged into a Captain Harrigan's crew. Realizing that he was in a precarious position, the half orc struggled to get back on his feet and get his bearings.

With only 3 other foolishly brave people deciding to stay against the wishes of the other seven armed men, Romgrah said "aye...reporting for duty" before following the first person headed to the deck.

The half orc had no intention of being flayed, hearing from other people that it is quite painful.

Xavius wakes up, not understanding what is happening, but instinctively stands up at the sound of an order. He sees what's around him Oh, fu- he thinks to himself. The other people were being truly stupid, standing up or giving in to these people, he needed to make them look to him. "Oh, hello, I seem to have got the wrong ship, my own set off a few hours ago and I really should get back to it before my crew get... restless. And you wouldn't like that. I'll just be going then, or do you really need me expert skills? In which case I only require 5gp for every hour I'm working. Sound fair?"

"Beggin' the good sir's pardon, we be sorry for the mistake," the man with the whip says. "But while ye be waitin'... get yer sorry ass on deck!" His wrist flicks and the whip lashes out, cracking inches from the side of your cheek. "I be takin' no lolly-gaggin'! Get on deck now! Move it! Move it!"

The other six men ready their saps and press in closer.

Finally standing he shouldered past the men with the saps, heaving a heavy sigh.

He grimaced and followed as they were taken above decks.

Spitting out the taste of last night ale, Krogahn chuckles to himself as the men start to press in towards him and the others.

"Now, Ah don't wantah be makin' yer boys 'ere upset by puttin' a whuppin' on dem. Lead t'e way tah me post, Sir."

Krogahn brushes off his clothes and starts up after the group towards the deck.

Making your way up the stairs, you see that you where held in the bottom hold of the ship, there being a level in between the hold and the upper deck. In short order, you arrive on the deck, the clear air soothing the headaches you all carry.

Grommet, Rookda and Romgrah all discerns the aftertaste of oily nutmeg on the tongue. Romgrah recognizes it as oil of taggit poisoning. The oil was likely added to your food or drink, and the spices hid the taste of the taggit oil.

In the light of the sun, you can better see the men accompanying you on deck and the man holding the whip comes to the forefront of everyone's mind. You all remember seeing him last night at the Formidably Maid.

When you reach the main deck, it’s quickly apparent that you are on a sizable ship in the middle of the ocean, far from any land. Port Peril and the mainland of the Shackles are just an ochre haze many miles astern. Figures cluster around the ship’s mainmast, looking up at the higher deck on the stern, where two figures stand. One of them is a broad, muscular Garundi man with a shaven head, a long beard bound with gold rings, and an eye patch — clearly the captain. The other is a younger, balding man with a long black ponytail, wearing a long coat and carrying a well-used cat-o’-nine-tails.

You also notice that you are not the only new recruits — four others are standing with you on the deck, set apart by their relative cleanliness and their apparent unease with their new-found situation. A dozen or so other pirates, clearly existing members of the crew, stand about on the deck or in the ship’s rigging.

"Glad you could join us at last! Welcome to the Wormwood! My thanks for ‘volunteering’ to join my crew. I’m Barnabas Harrigan. That’s Captain Barnabas Harrigan to you, not that you’ll ever need to address me. I have only one rule — don’t speak to me. I like talk, but I don’t like your talk. Follow that rule and we’ll all get along fine.
"Oh, and one more thing. Even with you new recruits, we’re still short-handed, and I aim to keep what crew I have. There’ll be a keelhaulin’ for anyone caught killin’ anyone. Mr. Plugg! If you’d be so kind as to make pirates out of these landlubbers, it’ll save me having to put them in the sweatbox for a year and a day before I make pies out of ’em."

At the end of his speech, the captain walks away, leaving behind the man with the cat-o’-nine-tails. He looks down at you and the other impressed captives and smiles unpleasantly.

"Ya heard the captain. It be my job to get the lot of ya in shape to crew this fine vessel and first thing I be needen' is a rigger. So to the lines with ya, ya scurvy lot! The first one to the crow's nest is me new rigger." He laughs sadistically.

OCC: Anyone climbing the rigging will need to give me 10 climb checks. I may not need to count all of them depending on the rolls so I will count them in order till the test is complete.

Krogahn

Peering up towards the crow's nest... Thoughts of his childhood pass across Krogahn's mind. Also a thought of being far and away from the rest of the crew and the whip would be quite nice. He looks to either side, smiling at the other press ganged men around him.

"Lookin' tah be a race it seems. Well... Ah won't be t'e last one, t'at's for sure!"

Climb Check: [roll0]

Krogahn rushes to the rigging and start climbing in leaps and bounds, about halfway up he looks back and laughs, the sea breeze renergizing him!

OOC: Sorry about that.. I'll put the other 9 in the OOC thread then!

Hearing the captain he basically tuned out. Harrigan, yeah right. Plugg too. He got it. He was going to make the most of this situation until he found a way to get out of it. For now...he'd rather not die the first time a storm battered this floating hunk of junk. Shorthanded as well. Terrible.

He approached Plug as well when Xavius speaks. The mans story is...questionable but he couldn't care less at this point. He simply waits for a time to speak and once given implores to Mr.Plugg.

"I had tools in my effects when I was..."recruited". I can get to working on the hull and cannon ports if I can get them back. Sorry I don't prefer to scurry up the rigging except when I have to repair sails. So can I get to work now?"

The half orc smacked his lips remembering the night before and tasted the poison. He got careless after a little good luck but at least he would be smarter about it next time. On the bright side, he is also a pirate now. Overall it might turn out well except he didn't quite like these people and the way they were treating him.

After the captain's speech, Romgrah considered what he just learned. The ship was short on men and needed a new rigger. The rigger, Romgrah thought might be a pretty dangerous job since he would have to climb all the way up there and...and was there anything else bad about it? Except that it might be the reason why the captain wanted more crew.

That and working for Plugg whose laugh unnerved him. Giving a look over the man in question as well as the crow's nest, Romgrah tried to figure out if he should just let someone else take the job. Working for Plugg might not be the best thing around here.
Sense motive on Plugg to see of he is "nice": [roll0]

2013-08-08, 08:52 PM

Grommet listened to the captain's speech, still unsure what his new boss would be like... Pretty typical it turns out. He also eyes the man with the cat-o-nine-tails. He's had enough run ins with the ole "captain's daughter" to know who not to anger.

As far as this old sea dog is concerned, the sooner they get to plundering the better. When the time comes, he'll show these bilge rats who's boss; but for now the best thing to do is keep his mouth shut and ride the waves.

As soon as the dwarf makes a break for the crow's nest, Grommet follows behind him. He makes no genuine attempt to beat him to the top, but climbs anyway so as not to incur the wrath of Mister Plugg.

Xavius flinches away from the whip cracking inches from his face and follows Plugg up the stairs with everyone else. When being spoken to by Cap'n Harrigan, Xavius stands there, coolly acknowledging him. Then he walks up to Mr. Plugg and sticks his hand out. "I don't think I introduced myself, Captain Xavius Vordo from the ship 'The Devil's Bastard' I assume you've heard of us. I may be stuck with you and I think it would be best if got acquainted with the higher ranking members of the crew. Not the scum on the rigging. I'm not asking to be an officer, but I think we both agree I'm higher ranking than those land lubbers. Who would I talk to about being assigned roles on board?" He says the whole speech with a convincing and charming smile.

"An officer you say? 'The Devil's Bastard?" Plugg purses his lips together and gives a thoughtful 'hmmm' while scratching his chin. A second later his face turns tense and he thrusts it to within inches of yours, screaming, spittle flecking your face. "I don't care who you think you were before you came aboard. All that is gone. You're Cap'n Harrigan's now. Your mother ain't here ta suckle ya to 'er breast. Now get your worthless carcass up tha riggin' for I flay the living skin off yer bones."

Rookda Nivalcar - Cleric
Rookda makes no move to climb the rigging. He looks around and spies a dozen pirates and four other poor slobs that must have been caught like them. He looks at Xavius trying to make eye contact and when he does he looks at Plugg and casually strokes his throat as if slicing it.

He pretends to be preparing to make the climb but he is positioning himself behind Plugg while Xavius talks to him. If anyone attacks Plugg Rooka will stab him in the back.

Rookda waits to see what Xavius does.

OOC - IF Action
If no one attacks Plugg Rookda will do the climb but will let anyone come in first since he has no interest in being a rigger.

If we don't have weapons Rookda will make no attempt to kill Plugg for now.
Also please add +3 to climb check if we don't have our gear.

"If you say so, but be warned, when my crew come on board and they ask who to spare and who to kill, I will spare everyone... but you who shall be whipped once for everyone who you have mistreated on this ship. I'm the devil's bastard and nothing you do can stop that." He opens up his shirt to reveal an Asmodean star in flame tattooed on his chest. Then turns and begins climbing.

His mouth cracked into a grin and he let out a genuine laugh at how Plugg responded. It was indeed funny to see someone with interest only in banging his chest and commanding people to do menial tasks.

"Whatever you say Pluggie my boy. I now fully understand why this heap is hardly worth the nails to stick her together. If you want to make an example of someone go find the Chief Bosun and ask him why we're likely to sink if we come upon a bad bit o' weather."

With that he turned and headed fro the rigging, casually leaning nearby and not making a move to climb up...punishment or not he wasn't going to jump and run for someone who had no business being in charge in the first place.

Romgrah was unable to get an idea about Plugg but the man's most recent actions told him everything he wanted to know. His yells and threats brought the half orc to the base of the crows nest and Romgrah began to climb. However the half orc had no intention of being subjected to this mistreatment on a daily basis just to risk falling down from a height and did his best to keep slightly behind the quickest man that got up there.

Rory

Hearing Pluggs remark, he grinned a little bit. Well, his back would burn to high hell but he was sure that eventually this little sight would play into his hands. He had learned a lot from his father, who had learned even more from his. Rory had always been filled with tales of press ganging and his Grandfather had known how to handle it. The line handed down to him had been: "Rory, if you've ever got to recruit from those unwilling, remember they out number you. Fear is one way to cow them, but discipline reinforced with a smattering of respect will go further to prevent Mutiny"

He grinned and watched as the men came, in fact he willingly slipped his arms about the mast. He just hoped the boys clambering up the mast would remember the sight of his whipped back when the time came to rebel. The time always came...

ybn1197

2013-08-14, 08:14 PM

The four crew men, though shocked by the ease in which Rory goes to the mast, do not falter in their duty. With one man holding each of his arms, Rory is stripped of his shirt, laying his back bare for the whip. He is then taken to the main mast, they bind his wrists together with his arms encircling the mast. With Rory suitably held fast, Pugg comes forward, unfurling his cat-o'-nine-tails. With a cruel snarl, he swings the whip around and gives Rory three brutal lashes. The pain is more than Rory can stand and he slips into unconsciousness, barely held up by the mast. Though most of the "recruits" are only half way to the crow's nest with Krogahn in the lead, all are able to see Rory's punishment at the hands of Mr. Plugg.

The half orc was on his way to the top when he witnessed the lashing. "Brrrrr..." At least it wasn't him. "More like a crazy man" he said in reply to Grommet before continuing his way to the top. He'd rather have any conversation back on deck instead of this precarious position.

ybn1197

2013-08-19, 01:55 PM

Spurred on by the brutal lashing, the newly acquired crew makes a renewed effort to make it to the crow's nest and avoid a similar punishment as Rory. Though it is close, Krogahn is the first to make it to the top. The return to the ship's deck is quicker than the ascent, and for some, more relieving. Pugg turns to eye everyone as you step down onto the deck. "Good. You," he says pointing to Krogahn, "will be our newest rigger. You report to me for yer daily work. Now," he turns to look at the rest of you, "we be needin' a cook. Who here knows their way around a galley?"

A cook, that sounded nice. The half orc started grinning a little about what he could do in the kitchen like maybe...eating but he didn't know how to cook. After some thought he decided that it was better that he doesn't say anything and kept quiet while the other press ganged volunteers tried to ask for the jobs they wanted to do.

"An seeing hows you can boil water, that places you one step above our current cook. You'll report to Fishguts in the galley.

Aiee, cook it is then.

Rookda makes his way to the hold dragging Rory along. The man didn't appear to have any lethal damage. Rookda cleaned his wounds and bandaged the man. He took his time though, not because he cared for the man but he was a potential ally. "If I'm ever going to kill that guy I'll need strong allies", he said in a whisper.

Leaving Rory in the hold Rookda went off to report to Fishguts.

Krogahn

Climbing down from the crow's nest, Krogahn takes in the whole of the ship. It looks to be filled to the gunnels with men, most of whom were probably press ganged like himself.

"Looks t'e be all kinds 'f chances to git out 'f dis one. Just gotta find t'e right men!"

He finishes his climb from the rigging in time to hear that the black haired man will be the new cook. Jus' in time too... I been gettin' 'ungry! thinks Krogahn.

Xavius jumps down from the rigging, his shirt still undone, showing the Asmodean tattoo on his chest. He approaches Plugg once more a speaks to him again, "Are you really going to waste such talent on being a squab with the sum? I can do more for your ship if you just let me."

Plugg scowls at Xavius. "Even if ya be who ya say ya be, ya have to earn your way on this crew. Now quit ya grippin' and get to your post!" Without another word or thought to you, Plugg nods for Krogahn to follow him and heads towards another group of men, presumably the others riggers in the crew.

Krogahn
Plugg assigns you to line work for the day. Line work is hard work hoisting and lowering sails, requiring a DC 10 Profession (sailor) or Dexterity check. You must also make a DC 10 Constitution check to avoid being fatigued at the end of the shift.

Rory and Rookda
As Rookda rises from cleaning the man's wounds, Rory begins to stir and awaken from the punishment he received at Plugg's hands.

All others
Being assigned to the crew as swabs, you look about for this Master Scourge. Grinning from ear to ear, the man who awake you in the hold this morning steps forward. "You are all mine my puppets," he says in a low breath. "See tha mops an buckets there. The decks needs to be swabbed, now get to it!" Swab the Decks: Backbreaking work mopping the decks and scrubbing them with sandstone blocks called holystones, requiring a DC 10 Strength or Constitution check. Failing either check results in the PC being fatigued at the end of the shift.

Romgrah decides that it might be better for him to concentrate on working his best today if nothing else, to ensure that someone be labelled as the slacker of the new crew members that isn't him. The half orc was so focused with his work and the mistakes that came from it being his first time that he wasn't even quite aware of what was going on around him until he was done.
Swab the decks (work diligently): [roll0]

Ah crud forgot I had inspired. Oh well since its the first day I guess I can derp around a bit.

After he was done with the backbreaking work, he decided it was time to take a rest. Hopefully he would get used to this work soon.

Finally coming to, Rory looked up at Rookda and gave him a bit of a grin. He felt the bandages and flexed his shoulders with a wince. He sat back as he looked around his new surroundings.

"The hold. Exciting."

He listened to Rookda and nodded in consent.

"Of course. He's one that could use killing. Keep your eyes out for any gun powder and a workable pistol. You never know if these louts will have such graceful weaponry."

So, while I'm stationed in the Hold is there perhaps and NPC I could try and influence?

If not then I think my ship actions will be pretty easy to figure out.

Krogahn

Following Plugg... Krogahn receives his orders with a grimace. He starts up the rigging and gets to work. During the day's work, Krogahn is very talkative to any other rigger that is willing to stir up a conversation. He tries to be friendly, but let people know that he's the best rigger now that he's on the crew.

True to his boasts, Krogahn puts on an impressive display in and among the rigging and other riggers. As the day wears on, you learn your fellow riggers are:

Conchobhar Shortstone (male gnome)
Barefoot Samms Toppin (female human)
“Ratline” Rattsberger (male halfling)
Maheem (male human)
Slippery Syl Lonegan (female human)
Tam “Narwhal” Tate (male dwarf)

Samms and "Ratline" are the most approachable of the bunch if you could call either approachable. They both answer questions when you talk to them and carry simple conversations but it is quite clear that they are rebuffing you simply as the new guy on the crew. Conchobhar, you find, is quite unfriendly towards you and answers your questions gruffly but does not converse for the most part. You do learn that he was recently press-ganged into the crew. The other three are downright hostile towards you and do not answer or converse with you.

Rookda Nivalcar - Cleric

I'll keep my eye out for weapons, armor and like minded individuals

Rookda calls for the guard to let him out. He then goes to report for cook duty. He plans on working hard and sleeping through the night.

Reporting to the galley, you find a cramped and chaotic kitchen which holds two wooden worktables, several wooden cupboards, and two small stoves against the port wall, as well as virtually every cooking utensil imaginable and a frightening array of meat cleavers. A score of chickens and three goats wander freely throughout the chamber. A huge array of spices mingle with barrels of rainwater, two tuns of rum, cupboards full of ship’s biscuit and salted beef, barrels of sauerkraut, and a small supply of fresh vegetables picked up in Port Peril.

Ambrose Kroop is the ship’s cook, nicknamed “Fishguts” by the crew, though whether this refers to the contents of his soups or the stains on his apron is unclear. His job is to bring the ship’s biscuit on deck at dawn for the crew, and prepare and serve the evening meal. You find Kroop sitting on an upright barrel bracing himself against one of the worktables, an empty bottle of rum rolling back and forth on the worktable in time with the swaying of the ship. He opens one eye slowly and stares at you, waiting for the fog to clear his mind. "Go away," he slurs. "Dinner's not for a few more hours."

Settling into his new quarters, such as it were, Rory took a look around the hold, making sure he knew his surroundings as best he could for future reference. You never knew what sort of knowledge might come in handy.

He made sure to keep his ears open though, in case anyone passed by, or any information could be gleaned.

Listen!

http://www.baydragons.com/Deck-Middle-1a.jpg
(Only for reference. There are no crates in the hold at this time.)

Noise from the main deck blocks out any other sound that may be occurring. Located near the bow is the stairs that go up to the officers' quarters and out onto the main deck. Also towards the bow, but on the opposite side of a support mast is another flight of stairs, these to the lower deck. Towards the stern are two doors and another flight of stair going up. Taking stock of your surroundings, you see a number of small cages containing a supply of live pigs. You also see 2 ballistas and a disassembled catapult. There are also a number of sealed barrels.

"But this ship, it’s poison But don’t let anyone hear you say it aloud. The hull listens, see, and the cap’n hears it all. Poison the Wormwood is, though, rotten to the core.

As dusk arrives and the work day aboard ship comes to an end, every gathers on the main deck. Rory is freed from the hold and allowed to join the others on deck. Some of the other pirates begin to clap their hands and yell "Bloody Hour!" while a few others agree though somberly. The captain appears on the top deck, a tankard of rum in hand and looks down upon his assembled crew. "Aye, the time be Bloody Hour, and I be takin' no relish in the time. But a crime on the ship is a crime to us all; and he that be doin' the crime must take the punishment."
With that, the door to the officers' cabin is kicked open and two of the crew drag a third man between them. He is hauled up to the foredeck where Mr. Plugg and Master Scourge join the two men in tying long ropes to their prisoner's hands and feet. With the man suitably tied, he is lowered down the front the ship, into the cold ocean. Then, with Plugg and one of the men on the port side and Scourge and the other on the starboard side, the man is slowly dragged along the bottom of the ship by the men pulling on the ropes. Once the four men reach the Poop Deck and haul the poor man out of the water, there is little left of the man.
Romgrah, Rookda, and Grommet all notice the glee and joy Mister Plugg show as he slowly pulls on the ropes and makes his way from the Foredeck to the Poop Deck.

As he was released back to the crew he made sure to keep quiet until he was among those who were in the press gang group he had woken with. He smirked a little as he looked around and then softly made another joke, sure not to disturb the captains speech.

"Sorry I'm late boys I was just taking a nap while you swabbed the deck."

He grinned a little, but it was lost when they dragged a man forward. He grimaced, seeing them tie him up. He had heard of such things, and when finally he saw it happen...it was strange. It was almost nothing at first, seeing those ropes dragged down the length of the ship.

He could just imagine what would be left on those ropes when they came back up. It was worse than he thought. He let out a sigh and was more determined than ever to at the least wipe that gleeful grin off Pluggs face one of these days.

2013-09-19, 12:21 PM

Ensuring the man is dead, Plugg orders the ropes to be removed and the body tossed overboard for the sharks. As he walks down the stairwell to the main deck, Plugg makes sure he sees Rory and gives the man a smirk,

With the solemn punishment done, Kroop and Rookda bring the evening's meal and rum rations up to the main deck. The day's work is done and many wish nothing more than to forget the aches and pains of the day's labor.

As Rookda and Romgrah head to the hold to grab some sleep in preparation for the next day, Rory, Xavius, Grommet, and Krogahn stay on deck to experience the pirate's life and make connections with the crew. Rory seeks out some gambling being conducted by the crew and wanders into a small group gathered around a barrel. The top of the barrel is covered in small bits of broken glass, make-shift caltrops, and knives. A mountain of a man (Rahadoumi by his appearance) sees Rory and calls out. "If it is not the tough man. Come, tough man, I challenge you to sport." The scowl on his face betrays the friendly tone.

Krogahn seeks out Barefoot Samms and finds her with a few of the other riggers, still barefoot as her name. She sees Krogahn approaching and though she does not wave him over, she does ensure there is plenty of room for him to sit amongst the group. "Ya put in a good day's work. Where did you learn the ropes? Ya certainly seemed to catch on quickly."

Grommet and Xavius - Of the officers who stay on deck, Cut-Throat Grok appears to be the most easily approachable. The other two have a group of sycophants around them.

Upon reaching the deck once again Rory looks out at the waves and lets out at least a small sigh of contentment. If nothing else he was happy to feel the spray on his face without being ordered around by these sorry excuses for officers.

Upon being addressed Rory approached the barrel casually. Looking over the sharp implements Rory then looked up at Rahadoumi.

"Sport you say? All right I'll play your game! I only have two requests. Tell me your name, and if I win you have to teach me the rules of the game. Sound fair?"

He grinned up at the bigger man, hoping that he'd appreciate Rorys carefree attitude.

"I used to be a fisherwoman in the Sodden Lands. But there 'twert no future in it. Too much competition, and many's the one who thought it wasn't a woman's job. Cleanin' 'em, yes. But not catchin' 'em. And the weather ain't much kinder than the people. So I hitched a ride to the nearest port and signed up with the first cap'n who would take me. And now here I am."

Rory
Grasping Maheem's hand, you place your elbow in a clear spot on the barrel top and begin to wrestle the man. The contest is close to start and you are ever vigilant of the debris cluttering the barrel; debris that will easily impale your flesh should you lose this contest. Spurned on by the thought of defeat, you redouble your efforts and manage to take the Rahadoumi's arm down. He jerks his arm back, clutching it as he tries to remove the shards and slivers from the back of his hand and arm, scowling at you. The others gathered around however hoot and howl at his misfortune.

+100 XP for winning your first pirate game of chance.

After defeating such a person in a feat of strength Rory grinned and made sure to pal around with the crew for a while before heading to get some sleep. He felt he had more properly cemented his place among them by showing his prowess, even if Strength was normally not his best asset.

The next morning, mere seconds after the bell tolls to summon the crew on deck, four pirates — Aretta Bansion, Fipps Chumlett, Jaundiced Jape, and Slippery Sy Lonegan — block your path. "In a hurry?" Fipps says, and laughs, pushing a Rory in the chest. Meanwhile, a handful of other sailors loiter on the stairs, watching and waiting for the outcome of what surely seems to be a fight in the making.

Krogahn

Seeing Jape fall from his last attack, Krogahn spits some blood out on the deck. He reaches down and grabs the collar of Jape's shirt, and begins to drag the unconscious man up to the main deck.

"C'ame on, ye idiot. Ah'm assumin' t'e Capt'in will be wantin' ah wurd wit'cha."

Dragging Jape to the deck, Krogahn leaves combat for the main deck. Looking for Mr. Plugg, Krogahn explains what happened below decks and hands over Jape to him.

Rory

Seeing that their attackers were properly subdued, Rory grabs Fipps by the shirt and hauls him up the stairs. He finds Krogahn and tosses Fipps down next to the man that Krogahn carries.

"They been properly dealt with. Hope the talk with the captain goes well."

With a smile he withdrew back to where Rookda and he assumed Grommet(Once he made his way up the stairs) would be standing.

The brawl was brief but it would have lasting effects. Though the five of you emerged relatively unscathed, your four assailants did not. One suffered serious wounds that she would feel for days. Two were dragged unconscious and left sprawled on the main deck. The last forced to retreat.

Dropping the two unconscious pirates on the deck, Mr. Plugg looks at Krogahn and Rory with a scowl. Once Krogahn explains the brawl, the scowl deepens. Plugg then motions a couple of the deckhands to come over and pick up the two men. Both are taken to the side rails where they are dunked in buckets of water used by the swabs to scrub the decks. They are dunked repeatedly till they come to their senses, sputtering water and flailing about. Neither of the two women say anything.

Mr. Plugg assigns the rigger to lookout duty for the day. Place make 6 x climb DC10 checks.

Master Scourge assigns the swabs to repair duty. Each swab make a DC10 Profession (sailor) or Dexterity check.

Everyone can make one daytime action if you so wish.

Krogahn, Rory, and Grommet work diligently through the day and though they often see Scourge glaring at them, he does nothing to stop or interfere with your work.

Later in the morning, Rookda finds Aretta working on the deck. Though you approach her with friendly overtures, you see the seething hatred in her eyes that she has for you.

Rookda Nivalcar - Cleric

Rookda takes a look around. A look of disappointment crosses his face when he notes the many people going about their business.

A ship can be a dangerous place Aretta. Be a shame if something were to happen to you and there was no one around to bind your wounds.

Rookda walks away from her without taking his eyes off the woman. Once he is a good distance from her he turns and walks off to find other activities.

Krogahn

Considering the ruckus caused by the brawl this morn, Krogahn turns in shortly after downing his rum ration. Passing by Rory on his way to his cot, Krogahn nods and whispers, "Nice goin' t'is mornin', Rawry. Ah'd watch ye back 'nyday. Remembah t'at."

Grommet

After completing his duties for the day he eats with the crew. As he passes Fipps he gives him a firm slap on the back. "Good show this morn, matey. Ye might not be the helpless whelp I took ye fer. Jess remember who's side yer on when we be fightin with steel. It aint no pissin contest when we be grapplin and boarding. If ye prove to be a craven after all I'll kill ye m'self." With that Grommet gives him a wide grin showing him a few missing teeth.

After making quick work of his meal and rum ration, Grommet looks for some other crewmen to dice with for the night.

Rory

Going about his work for the day, Rory just tried to focus on the salty air and the occasional feel of mist from the ship cutting the water. When their meager food was served he ate and swilled his rum ration, perking up an ear when Krogahn spoke to him.

He didn't want to seem to eager to get into trouble, but he was glad to have someone at least on his side for now. He nodded to Krogahn, letting him know silently that he was grateful, and would do the same.

He hung about his sleeping area for a while, then decided to go and find a bit of entertainment if there was any.

Shrugging his shoulders Rory watched as Grommet set about the wrestling of arms, and Rookda went over to see if he could out drink the rest of the crew.

"Well, I already proved my brawn...maybe a little drink tonight....down the hatch boys lets see who can keep up!"

He tosses a gold coin down next to Rookdas and does his best to down as much of the stuff as he can.

Krogahn: Sleep

Rookda and Rory: Heave!
Rookda and Rory find themselves in the company of Jack Scrimshaw (a young lad talented at scrimshaw), Tam Tate a.k.a. Narwhal (a right ugly dwarf with a large crooked nose), and Conchobhar Turlach Shortstone (a handsome, honey-tongued gnome who wears a foppish purple hat, an eye patch, and a white silk shirt, and carries a dandyish cane.)
Jack tentatively throws his gold coin in, presumably more interested in keeping up appearances than having any true feeling of being able to keep up. Conchobhar throws his coin in while trying to eye up a short female halfling on the other side of the ship. Narwhal slams his coin down, cackling the entire time. "Bottoms up hearty's. I'll be sure to be spending yer gold properly in our next port a call."

Grommet: Arm Wrestling
Grommet seeks out some gambling being conducted by the crew and wanders into a small group gathered around a barrel. The top of the barrel is covered in small bits of broken glass, make-shift caltrops, and knives. A mountain of a man (Rahadoumi by his appearance) sees Grommet approach. "Come, friend of Rory. Let us see if you are as strong and brave as him." The scowl on his face betrays the friendly tone.
