Quest for a Ship! Complete!

[Dracos]

6/20/2009 6:18:39 PM *   Trunkyboy is now known as Glubtz
6/20/2009 6:23:37 PM <Dracos>   At the end of last adventure, the world changed...  And no one noticed.  Ships continued to fly through the seven skies, and pirates were just as fiercely known.  Montaigne's empire was as fearsome as ever, and its mighty walled fortress still well known as the most impregnable pirate prison and country defense in the world.
6/20/2009 6:30:31 PM <Dracos>   Dyne's few remaining pirates, still organized in a crew, had conspired with Captain Darcyan of the Overkill to capture a merchant ship, a minor casino boat piloted by Captain Allyn.  In exchange for the lion's share of the loot, Darcyan is planning on ambushing the ship shortly after it departed from the jewel of Vodacce, the sandy oasis of Nasr.
6/20/2009 6:31:40 PM <Dracos>   Now, gathered aboard the casino ship, the unnamed pirates, remaining leftovers of Dyne's blue rogues, were preparing to scout the ship and place themselves in readiness for the attack.
6/20/2009 6:35:14 PM <Leon>   "To the bar area, my friends!" the pirate from Montaigne commands as he adjusts his tricorn hat, and tosses on his best clothing. "We must sample the fine wines of the ship before they risk being broken in an upcomming fight!"
6/20/2009 6:36:53 PM <Rolland>   "Hmm.. Well, I've always enjoyed battle more on a full stomach.. Be it food or spirits!"
6/20/2009 6:36:54 PM <Glubtz>   "I, uh, can't hold my liquor that well," Glubtz admits shamefully.
6/20/2009 6:37:54 PM <Rolland>   "And you're a pirate? This bodes ill for our continued success.."
6/20/2009 6:38:37 PM <Glubtz>   "I'm working on it!"
6/20/2009 6:38:47 PM <Leon>   "You poor fellow. Well, I'm sure they'll have something non-alcoholic," Leon suggests undisturbed. "The night is young, and I must get properly bashed if I'm to leave our opponents any chance of success later in the night."
6/20/2009 6:39:32 PM <Leon>   "And trust me, it takes a lot to get me buzzed," he adds with a conspiratory whisper, and a cheerful smirk.
6/20/2009 6:40:01 PM *   Carlos laughs.
6/20/2009 6:40:27 PM <Carlos>   "Perhaps they will have some lemonade for poor Glubtz."
6/20/2009 6:41:19 PM *   Glubtz stares at Carlo's neck over his spectable. His hands clench a couple of times.
6/20/2009 6:41:45 PM *   Carlos smiles cheerily.
6/20/2009 6:43:42 PM <Dracos>   They yammered as they traveled to the nearest bar, the sight of beautiful dancing women not far away, as was the jingle of various gambling games, cards being shuffled and spinning roulettes twirling around.  A handsome young man tended the bar and quickly with an exchange of guilders the crew of four was situated at a table with plenty of food and drink.
6/20/2009 6:44:20 PM *   Rolland enjoys the dancing..
6/20/2009 6:46:19 PM <Leon>   "Any of you remember our timetable?" Leon asks after a while, his mouth having just ripped a juicy piece of meat from one of the dishes, looking particularly to Carlos who's probably the most likely to remember of their group. "Fun and games are plenty to be had tonight, but we still have our work to get on with."
6/20/2009 6:46:29 PM *   Glubtz sits down hunched over his chair, taking a few cautious sips of his drink.
6/20/2009 6:46:30 PM <Dracos>   Glancing around they can spot a number of guards about the casino floors, dressed well.  It seems that despite the modest size of the ship, the bounty of a casino could afford quite a few guards, well paid enough to care about being orderly.
6/20/2009 6:47:15 PM <Carlos>   "Plan?  I thought you were the one with the plan, Captain?"
6/20/2009 6:48:57 PM <Carlos>   "Why don't we mingle and see what we can find out?"
6/20/2009 6:49:01 PM *   Leon frowns. "Well...this cannot be good. I must admit, if i was the one with knowledge of Darcyan's arrival time, I have quite certainly forgotten it," Leon admits unabashedly.
6/20/2009 6:49:42 PM <Rolland>   "I'm sure his arrival will be quite noticable."
6/20/2009 6:52:58 PM <Leon>   "True, so let us do as our friend Carlos suggests, and mingle. I shall mingle...." the pirate starts to say as he looks around until his eyes settle on some pretty young lady. "Over thataway!"
6/20/2009 6:53:17 PM <Leon>   That said, Leon stands quickly, and begins to make his way in that direction.
6/20/2009 6:53:29 PM <Rolland>   "Ah, that one, he has much to learn.."
6/20/2009 6:53:52 PM *   Rolland smiles and waves one of the dancers over.
6/20/2009 6:54:01 PM <Rolland>   "Why go to them, when they can come to you?"
6/20/2009 6:54:57 PM <Dracos>   The dancers didn't come, but a waitress did, seeing if Rolland needed anything.
6/20/2009 6:55:04 PM *   Carlos looks for the table with the largest number of attactive women where they are playing cards.
6/20/2009 6:55:11 PM <Dracos>   Meanwhile, Leon situated himself in front of the beautiful dancing girls.
6/20/2009 6:55:45 PM <Dracos>   Carlos found one beautiful dealer as he sat down at a card table.
6/20/2009 6:57:31 PM *   Glubtz leaves his crewmates to their vices and concentrates on the food, careful not to mess up his coat.
6/20/2009 6:58:25 PM *   Carlos grins at the woman. "Please deal me in."

6/20/2009 7:07:15 PM *   Leon simply chats up with some of the women around as his eyes flitter between their lips, the nook of their breasts, and admittedly, occasionally doing the job they're supposed to and looking at how the security around the place is outfitted, particularly things such as weaponry and the like.
6/20/2009 7:08:08 PM <Leon>   Mostly, of course, the pirate is focusing on the breasts.
6/20/2009 7:08:46 PM <Dracos>   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6/20/2009 7:09:52 PM <Dracos>   A few hours later as the ship is making it's way outside of Nasr's immediate border and between it and the next major trading hub in Vodacce...The ship is suddenly shaken by cannonfire, the guards hustling that customers hurry to their rooms.
6/20/2009 7:11:53 PM <Leon>   "I say, what's going on here?" Leon asks as he approaches one of the guards, using a huffy and demanding tone. "Fireworks and no invitation onto the deck?"
6/20/2009 7:13:30 PM *   Rolland gets up and moves next to Leon, trying to look as surprised as the rest of the guests.
6/20/2009 7:13:49 PM *   Glubtz makes his way to the room to get his claymore.
6/20/2009 7:14:34 PM *   Carlos keeps gambling, but is ready for things to hit the fan.

6/20/2009 7:19:23 PM <Dracos>   "Sir, please head to your cabin.  We do not yet know who is attacking and it is important for your safety that you stay off the deck and out of the line of fire."
6/20/2009 7:22:03 PM <Carlos>   "If they are firing cannons, I'm no safer in my room than I am here."
6/20/2009 7:22:14 PM <Leon>   "What? Some ruffians attacking? Scoundrels, the whole lot!" Leon exclaims in an astonished tone, as his face takes on an angered expression. "Well, I know a thing or two about scoundrels! If you'll have me, you'll have my sword!" He exclaims twice as loud as he brandishes his sword and waves it high upon the air.
6/20/2009 7:23:52 PM <Dracos>   The guards look very unhappy at the proclaimation, and about ready to try and shove the group toward their room so they can get to deck.

6/20/2009 7:29:03 PM <Dracos>   "Hmph...Well, it's on your heads.  Stay off the deck,"  The guards began heading up to deal with the more pressing engagement.
6/20/2009 7:29:48 PM *   Carlos smiles at the dealer. "Another hand?"
6/20/2009 7:33:29 PM *   Leon pouts as Carlos talks the guards into letting them be and shakes his head as he looks at his sword and then the retreating back of the guards. "Not the same...." he sighs as he puts away the idea of driving his sword into a protesting guard's side as they try to get him to go back to his room. "Just not the same..."
6/20/2009 7:34:27 PM <Dracos>   The dealers, indeed most of the casino, is long gone as Glubtz returns, Claymore at his back.
6/20/2009 7:34:44 PM <Rolland>   "So, where to now?
6/20/2009 7:34:57 PM <Glubtz>   "Indeed."
6/20/2009 7:35:22 PM <Carlos>   "We raid the bar.  Then we go on deck."
6/20/2009 7:35:44 PM <Rolland>   "... I like the way you think, sir."
6/20/2009 7:35:50 PM *   Leon pauses in thought, then shrugs. "Eh, I'm nothing if not flexible with plans. Raiding the bar works for me."
6/20/2009 7:36:46 PM *   Carlos grabs the most expensive looking bottle of wine he can find. With it in his left hand and sword in his right, he goes on deck.
6/20/2009 7:37:30 PM <Carlos>   He takes a sip of the wine and looks around.
6/20/2009 7:37:43 PM *   Rolland grabs a bottle of the hard stuff, slips it into his the pocket of his over-coat, and grabs a second before following to the deck.
6/20/2009 7:40:27 PM <Dracos>   On the deck, they walk into chaos...

6/20/2009 7:45:46 PM <Dracos>   On the deck, there were roughly twenty guards, mixed around as they dealt with the cannon fire from above, some manning the cannons, others, readying for boarding...and a few even turning, looking with suspicious eyes on the newcomers.
6/20/2009 7:46:25 PM *   Rolland cheerfully waves to all, forgetting that he has a bottle of liquor in his hand.
6/20/2009 7:46:43 PM <Dracos>   "Looters!" One calls out with as blades are drawn!
6/20/2009 7:47:35 PM <Leon>   "You know, you have no sense for drama, Rolland," the pirate captain deadpans as he looks at his companion.

6/20/2009 8:02:27 PM <Leon>   "I suppose I shall endeavour to live up to those words then! En guarde, I say!" Leon shouts as he rushes forward, his blade snaking outward to strike at the man who made the shout and anybody near enough to skewer in the charge. (Leon uses one of his drama dice to add a kept dice to attack roll, and is making a raise of 5 to try and hit two people).

6/20/2009 8:12:59 PM <Dracos>   With rushing flair, Leon's flashing blade took down the man and another beside him who tried to strike him down, the chaos on the deck increasing as the guards split their attention on two fronts.

6/20/2009 9:30:24 PM <Dracos>   Carlos' fenching sword slips merrily through the man's throat...  as the party turns to find a group of rowdy pirates boarding...  to an effectively undefended haul, rushing by as they sought to clear out the wealth below.
6/20/2009 9:31:12 PM <Carlos>   "Are we going to let them beat us to the loot?"
6/20/2009 9:32:05 PM <Glubtz>   "I think we are, actually.  That is what you decided."
6/20/2009 9:33:00 PM <Dracos>   "Your loot is the boat boys,"  Darcyan grinned as he easily swung across, landing nearby.  "An easy bit of prey.   Not my usual fare but it'll do."
6/20/2009 9:33:08 PM <Rolland>   "I say we focus on the passangers and crew. With this much money floating around, there has to be at least a few VIPs we can ransom off."
6/20/2009 9:33:48 PM <Glubtz>   "Hum.  I don't think we need that kind of publicity at the moment. "
6/20/2009 9:34:21 PM <Rolland>   "Well, at least conscript some of the women."
6/20/2009 9:36:28 PM <Leon>   "Too much trouble, likely, if you consider the type of women to come to these places," the captain disagrees with a sigh. "They're the womans you wish to sleep with, not make work a ship."
6/20/2009 9:36:36 PM <Leon>   ooc: women*
6/20/2009 9:37:07 PM <Dracos>   Darcyan laughed.  "Don't take unwilling conscripts anyway, lads.  It's not worth the trouble."
6/20/2009 9:37:55 PM <Carlos>   "Agreed.  And we picked this ship in the hope that some of the women would join our crew.'
6/20/2009 9:38:25 PM <Leon>   "Thanks for the help, captain. This would have been beyond us likely without your assistance. You have any patch doctors that can look us over before we part? We took a bit more damage than I thought we would from that bunch..."
6/20/2009 9:43:58 PM <Dracos>   "Aye...come aboard and we'll have you looked over," He grinned.
