Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Captain Grish
While waiting for the death priest to handle the loot, Grish addresses the now-replaced officers.
"I know you're none too thrilled with the way things have turned out this day, but know this: your lungs still draw breath, and in the end, that's all that matters. When we next put into port, you're free to seek your fortunes elsewhere, or you can stay here on the Stingray.
"As for treasure... any man who distinguishes himself in a raid or defense of this ship will earn himself extra booty. A man who shows true loyalty to me and the Stingray will also be granted part of my own share."

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
The crew anxiously sit around eying the pile of loot while Tulek slowly counts out the various piles, often forced to start over when the ship shudders from a rogue wave.
After the captain's speech, Pulley stands tall, or as tall as the small halfling can, and says, "All Hail Captain Grish." With this, he salutes you with a quick draw of his rapier and a bit of a flourish. Sheathing his weapon he then continues, "I hope you will not hold a grudge against those of us that fought with the Claw. It was surely not out of loyalty to him, but out of discipline for the chain of succession and loyalty to the man who was technically the captain."
He nods his head to the captain and turns to walk back to the railing where he'd been sitting and watching Tulek. As he walks buy Tulek, he hisses, "Come on, even Willis counts faster than you."This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
"I can count each coin as ten for your pile, if yeh'd like. It'd make things go faster," Tulek teases him back with a friendly, but arrogant smile. "Won't be too long, now. I divided while I counted."

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Pulley just shakes his head at Tulek's pathetic attempt at humor, or was it a threat. Is either case, Willis is standing there slack jawed watching. When Pulley sits back down he says, "Hey Willis, how many coins you see over there?"
Willis says, "Hehe.. 436 gold and eleven platinum. Definately 2043 copper pieces, and 262 of them silver coins, Arr."
Pulley smiles and says, "See."This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.

Thunk Chunk chuckles and bares his teeth at Ulfgar.
"I be thinkin' this be some kind o' scam, but why not? Just be waitin' till we're near shore, took a few too many... aww by the seven bloody hells!" Thunk Chunk reaches behind himself and shifts a wad of rags around the wound that Errow gave him, letting a few more drops of blood splat the deck.

"Well, Willis, I do believe yeh're right," Tulek said, having finished counting and sorting teh coins, "No chance he's got a similar knack for appraising goods?" Tulek asks, marking the balue of goods down based upon their wait and adding a tally together on a long sheet. "Or, for that matter, arithmatic? Ah, well, I'm almost done, anyway."

Pulley raises an eyebrow at Tulek and says, "Ar! I thought you were supposed to be figuring something out." Turning to Marcus, he responds, "Well, he be good at addin' and figurin'. I ain't not heard of that arthimatic stuff, but I suppose ifn you show'd ole Willis how to do it, he might get it."

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
"I figured it. 482 gold pieces and seven silver in each share. Each officer what gets a share an' a half makes 724 gold and about 5 copper. Now, then," Tulek explains, pointing to a seperate pile, "That over there ain't yet been valued. You can bid on it from the gold yeh have, high bidder wins it. As for the goods with values we know, yeh can buy what specifics you want from yer share. Since there ain't too much yet in coins, yeh'll get your coins when we hit port. This here sheet has what yer owed, so nobody forgets. I'll keep track o' what yeh buy and bid on here, too."

Ulfgar turns to Thunk Chunk and laughs. "I guess you do need a bit o' healin first. I'd beat ye too easily with ye all banged up like 'is. When we get to port then."
Ulfgar looks over to Tulek and states "I be interested in them bracers. I seen many a monk with bracers similar, and if these be the same type, it should help me avoid geting hit so easily. I bid 500gp."

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Once everyone sees that bidding as started they all jump in at once. Of course, most of the non-officers are still unconscious from their wounds, so it isn't quite that bad.
Pulley puts in several low bids on a variety of items, obviously trying to scoop up the leftovers at a cheap price.
Pulley's Bids
Spoiler
10 gp - Potion(magical) unlabeled
10 gp - Potion(magical) unlabeled
10 gp - Potion(magical) unlabeled
10 gp - Studded Leather(magical)
10 gp - Greatsword(magical)

10 gp - magic belt
10 gp - magic rapier
10 gp - magic dagger
10 gp - magic wand
100 gp - magic ring(claw)
100 gp - magic bracers
Manny looks over the stuff, but is unsure if any of it will be usable. Willis, offers 350gp for the magical dagger. Eventually Manny offers 200 gp for the captain's magic ring. Pulley, Manny, and Willis each offer to take 20gp of loot in tobacco.This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Pulley, obviously unhappy with Grish's bid, stands up, using his full height(3'1") in an attempt to intimidate the captain. While standing and staring at the captain he kind of snarls in a feral, demon child sort of way, then glances at the loot again, sighs and turns around. He walks over to the railing and and stand on his tippy toes to peer over the top at the dark waves.

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Thunk Chunk
Hearing Grish's wagers makes Thunk Chunk grumble, but he doesn't want to get into a bidding war with the captain. Instead he leans close to Tulek and whispers to him.
"I be makin' a change what with the captain taking that belt an' all. I be takin' me bet for it out an' puttin' 100 on the rapier, armor and that wand thingy."
He winks at Tulek before whispering again.
"How 'bout we keep this from the half-a-man o'er there, he looks like he could be poppin' at any moment"Last edited by Darkantra; 2008-02-07 at 06:14 AM.

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
Thunk Chunk
Thunk Chunk is one of the first to step up on deck and takes a deep breath of the salty morning air before he grabs the fish from Davis and Willis with a grunt of approval. He thumps down the steps, fish in hand, and starts bellowing into the crew quarters.
"Alright ya squabs, up on deck, it be a bright new day an' we got to get the ol' Stingray in gear!"
He grabs the cook and shoves the fish at the man.
"Davis and Willis had a good catch last night cheffy, see what ya can do with it."
Though they may not like Thunk Chunk, he orders everyone to their jobs with the air of an accomplished seaman and pirate and in no time the ship is ready for a new day. When he gets some time he starts practicing with his new swords, inexpertly smashing the air with the rapier but whipping the greatsword through the air with palpable skill.

Ulfgar grabs himself some fish for his morning breakfast and then begins to pace the ship, looking to see if anything needs repairing. Not being very used to wood work, he takes a long time, figuring out just how much damage has actually been had.

Re: Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)
At Thunk Chunk's urging, the rest of the crew rises from their slumber. Karos, Leroy, and Errow are still obviously close to death's door. Any sort of extended activity could easily reopen their wounds and cause them to bleed to death. Riddle was in similar condition until he prayed for healing for himself and Errow, although his powers didn't even come close to restoring Errow.

Thunk Chunk finds his new sword works great and handles beautifully. Subconsciously he knows its a Greatsword+1. {{ Anyone else planning to use their unidentified magical gear? }}
Ulfgar finds the ship is nearly in tip-top shape. The barrage of arrows has left a dozen or so holes in the sails and quite a few arrows lodged in the hull. Someone will need to sew up the sail and someone else will probably need to be lowered down to pull out the arrows and 'tar' the holes.This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.

Grish
A strange day ended with a good night's sleep, at least, though Grish was still a bit sore from a few cuts (and burns!) gained the previous day. While trusting to luck had brought uneven results over the previous day, the net effect, he thought, was positive, as he looked around his spacious captain's quarters.
Now, if only I knew how to sail the damn thing, he smiled to himself.
He carefully tries on the items he bid on. His purse was a bit lighter than it had been the day before, but it was worth it, wasn't it? He first tries on the ring from the captain (right hand), and then the other one (left hand), finishing with the captain's belt.
((Assuming no ill effects...))He goes out to check on the wounded and to grab some breakfast.Last edited by Duke of URL; 2008-02-11 at 01:22 PM.

Karos slowly ambles around the deck. Seeing everyone trying out new weapons and items from the loot he says, "Damn....a little flame and I miss the booty. That'll teach me to get out of the way next time." After the short excursion he feels almost completely drained so he finds somewhere to sit and rest while the boat starts up under its new captain.The bunny's scared, the bunny's scared of you...shivering.

Ulfgar grunts at the random holes in the ship."Does anyone know how to fix these holes? Halfling, you seem to be pretty light on your feet, lets try to fix these holes."
Hmmm.... this will be interesting. Never worked with wood before. A dwarf working with wood. Ha! But I guess I never have been a normal dwarf anyways. Heck, I don't even have a beard. Well guess its time to learn a new skill. That is why I came here, anyways. Maybe these magical bracers might help me?

When Grish screams and starts yelling, Pulley and Riddle start laughing up a storm. "Ar! The curse of The Stingray has struck again!" "Harr! Maybe the cap'n'd like for us to stop and pick some flowers to brighten up 'er room."
Following Thunk Chunk's orders, the cook begins his rounds distributing bowls of a hearty fish soup. Mmm... Breakfast.
Manny takes over watch and holding the ship to her course. On course, the course is up to the captain. Plenty of supplies left and plenty of room for more loot.This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.
