Hunters: On the trail

The morning rolls around and as the crew drifts back, most of them hungover like nobodies business, Clarke outlines the adventure to come.  "We set sail for the deep south boys, Port Castigliar, Chult!"  he says, the effects of the night before not appearing to slow him at all.  "Everyone knows its a haven for pirates sneaking into the country, well boys, its time we put an end to that!" with that he begins calling out orders, and though the sailos are a bit slow due to their condition this morn they still hop to!

OOC: finish up at the ship sale, buy what you might want...we're going pirate hunting!

Calgarvin does his best to hide his hangover from the Captain as he gives his very loud and long speech.

His head aching, he tries to find a little chore to do in the corner of the boat for a few minutes, but still LOOK like he's doing something....just enough time for the pounding on his temples to subside.

Re: Hunters: On the trail

With the help of Captain Clarke's magic the ship fair flies across the waves, the summoned winds never once abating or slowing in the least.

[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W: I'll be there monday if you can keep your people in the area til then.]

Re: Hunters: On the trail

Clarke stands at the rear of the ship, calling to the winds to keep the ship on its speedy course toward the Refuge Bay and the jungles of chult.  He is very quite on this trip, relying of his well disciplined crew to keep the ship in order as he keeps the breezes blowing to bring the ship to that far away land.

Vraul prowls around the ship, assuring that everyone is on their toes and keep us sailing the sea as fast as possible.

He makes the Marines practice with the balista.

Re: Hunters: On the trail

Tagen's hangover is severe and he swears it will last for a week. He sets himself about the tasks ordered and finds the hard work begins to force the alcohol from his brain and things improve greatly.

When he finds the spare moment or two, he locates a place on deck to practice with his bow. He did not care for his performance during the last encounter and feels he has grown lax with his favorite weapon.

Re: Hunters: On the trail

Vraul notices some of the crew look green. He is confused, for none of them ever got sea sick before...and they only drank for one whole night....so that could not be it....

Re: Hunters: On the trail

The days pass swifty as the small shift is fair flown over the waves to the distant Refugee Bay area of Chult, a land of mysteries and death by all accounts.  As the ship nears the dark land Clarke calls out "Rig the netting boys, these waters are famous for pirate attacks and anything to slow the boarding will help!  You men there, make sure those balista are in good condition, I've a feeling they'll be used 'ere long.  Mr. Varul, are you and your men ready?"  As the thought of combat comes upon the Captain he seems to be more animated than ever before, the thrill of the upcoming battles seem to fill him with vigor.

OOC: Post shipboard comments here in this thread, once we engage they can go into the hunters/pirates combat posting.  Have fun boys, I'm a little curious to see whos going to win this!

Re: Hunters: On the trail

"Aye, there they be. It seems the have more crew then us." Vrul comments with a smile on his face. Hearing the Captains query he says, "We be ready to board Capn." Making sure veryone is ready to fight. He turns and shouts man the balista and fire as soon as you can.

Vraul suggest "Your pet could punch a hole in the body of their ship and I can enter from beneath with a couple o marines if we do not care about the prize."

Vraul also grabs onto a line and jumps into the sea..after being totally submerged, he climbs back onto the ship and is ready for combat.

Re: Hunters: On the trail

"I think Fido will be of more us to keep swimmers off of the ship, but if she'll be ready to assist if she can." the captain replies, still scanning the horizon for the incoming ship.


OOC: just working out distances and combat at sea with Ninj4Cow

Re: Hunters: On the trail

Tagen prepares as best he can. It is obvious that his crewmate's skills far exceed his own, so he resolves to follow their lead and do what he can in whatever events transpire.

Re: Hunters: On the trail

Hopefully he will give a chance for a PC to be hit by the balista..instead of just damage to his ship and NPC's.. :)

Re: Hunters: On the trail

The two ships are still to far out of range to see what she might be, but the captain calls out orders for the worst anyway.  "Prepare buckets and wet the sails boys...I don't want to see the girl go up if it comes to that."  With that the captain takes a good long look at the far ship, trying to judge the distance and the time before they will be in range.

ooc: if we don't hear something from Ninjamoo in regards to the ship battle shortly I'll go albatross on 'em and do some scouting around their ship.

"In these waters?  Unlikely...even if she's not a pirate, shes smuggling something, or a slaver.." he says the last with more than a hint of disgust.
