WFRP Beginners Pirates! YAR!

[Lonna]

Susi glares at the wizard and elf. "I have no idea how to get out," she says tartly, but if you're polite and give your name to the folks who've been here longer than us, perhaps they can help."

[Etcetera]

"You're the one to talk. I am Tethellin, until recently a student at the university of Altdorf and the vagabond is Sigfried, a mage of minor power"

[Mordar]

Having been unable to find anything he expected to be servicable as a weapon, Kordon turned his attention to the bars and door forming the cell. Though not a smith by trade, his heritage has provided him with some of the skill needed to assess metal work.

Dwarfcraft with Intelligence 30, so I think that means I have a "40" skill when it comes to assessing metalwork.
[roll0]
If I recognize any deficiencies or weaknesses I'll keep them to myself for the moment so as to not alert the jailor

The daft human seemed twitchy and on the verge of going utterly insane, but calmed himself after slamming into the wall (hull?) in anger.

Susi was talking with some of the other captives, so Kordon turned his attention to them. So it's dark elves, eh? Wonder if the stories about their magical ships and towers on the backs of sea dragons are true. The dwarf was a little concerned about the...trustworthiness...of the other three captives but it seemed there wasn't much that could be done ot put the crew in a worse position.

"Kordon," he said, gruffly, in response to Susi's expectant look. "The three of you been here a while?" he asked of Jules, the only one likely to be terribly pragmatic. What is Brondin's Beard is a hedge wizard, anyway? Daft bleeding humans...

Phooey - forgot I wasn't supposed to Preview posts with rolls...

(d100)[47]

Target number 40

[Lonna]

Susi nods when the recruits whose names she hadn't caught were all introduced, clearly pleased. "That's better. My fellow halfling there is Carl, the twitchy human is Gundread, and that's Ms. Becky over there. Now that we're all acquainted, could you answer my shipmates' questions?" Susi smiles sweetly as she makes the request, but something in her posture indicates that she - and by extension, everyone else - will be very unhappy if the answer is no.

[Etcetera]

OOC: I'm beginning to get fed up with the word vagabond. Anyone got any other suggestions. And are the floors wooden?
Tethellin looked at the zealot. What kind of a fool you would have to be that worked up for a god that was unlikely do do anything for you. Now the elven gods on the other hand...

[Xsesiv]

Gundread continues to spaz about on the floor.

"Yeah, questions? Help?

[drum-n-bass]

Lets see if I can answer all of these questions
To Seigfried:
The zealot nods his head at you, he then whispers to the Breton who then tells you He says he saw at least 5 dozen. At the minimum. And to his knowledge of Dark Elves, they are both spellcasters, and fighters.
To Kordon:
You notice nothing out of the ordinary, except for some failed attempts.
To Tellethin:
You could call him a traveler, the floors are wooden but they might lead you to something else. (that is actually a good idea you have, if you are thinking what im thinking)
To Susi:
Jules, the Breton, says I think only the dwarf asked me a question. We have been here for in between a month and a week. I'm not to sure......

[Xsesiv]

"Do they 'ave a powder mag'zine?"

[Morty]

Well then, the chances of figthing our way out are, as I expected, non-existant. We'll have to think.

[drum-n-bass]

Prolly lots. Its a ship for sakes.

[Xsesiv]

Gundread rubs his hands together in glee, a "plan" forming in his mind"Hha, I know what I'll do when we get out."

[Morty]

You seem awfully confident that we will in fact get out, Siegfried says with sarcasm.

[Xsesiv]

"Hehe, I'm no' goin' ou' by a Druuchi's say-so."

[Morty]

Whatever. Siegfried shrugs and starts pondering.

[littlebottom]

and this plan of yours involes blowing up the ship with us still on it? and anyway, what happened to the skaven ship?

[Xsesiv]

"I' gonna blow 't'up, but not wit' us still on it."

[Copper8642]

Carl sat quietly, his hope mostly drained, and waited for an idea.

[littlebottom]

becky looks like she just had an idea. i saw tethellin looking at the floor, and just thought, we could look for a loose plank, or a weakened one to smash through? were obviously not at the very bottom of the ship, otherwise the floor wouldnt be flat now would it? although if everybody suddenly starts searching the floor the jailors gonna get suspicious, so me and a few others who want to help can try to distract him for a bit? becky realises this might not work, and that it possibly passed through some one elses mind first and that she basically took credit for it, but didnt mean to, she just wanted to get out.

[Etcetera]

Tethellin slumped down to the ground and started quietly tapping on the floor to see if it was hollow, using his body to shield this from the vision of the jailor.

[drum-n-bass]

Yes the floor is hollow, in most places. The jailer is now asleep and most of the crew are heading to bed.

[Xsesiv]

(I wouldn't sleep, having been attempted to have been strangled)

Anyway, Gundread sees the floorboards creak as he leaps on the floor again. He looks round the edges of the planks for a loose one.

[Morty]

Siegfried also begins to search for loose planks.

[Xsesiv]

"Hmm..." Gundread gears up and smashes his face against the floor.

[Etcetera]

Not wanting to be left out, Tethellin also looked at the planks, searching for a weakness.
" Try not to make too much noise Gundread" Tethellin whispered.

[Lonna]

While the others tried to find a way out of the cell, Susi continued pumping their fellow prisoners for information. "So how exactly were you captured? I mean, you seem like seasoned adventurers - not like most of us."

[drum-n-bass]

(It's a different guard, therefore he doesn't know.)

Jules says to the halfling girl They surrounded us in the forest. Can't do much about that unless you..............well, I can't think of anyone who could escape being surrounded in the forest.

[Lonna]

Susi's eyebrows rise at this revelation. "A forest? So you must have seen this ship when they brought you on board then? Can you describe the layout at all?"

[drum-n-bass]

Yeah I did see the ship, but sadly I don't remember to much to explain it. But if you ask specific questions, I could answer those.

[Xsesiv]

Gundread looks up from the floor with blood pouring from his nose, flips off the guard and turns to the Bretonnian.

"What's above us, and under us and next door? You probably saw."
