LAST TIME! ON PRIVATEER!
 +
 +
The Journeyman narrowly escaped the vengeance of the Gwydion Jasper Argo and the Gwydion Three. Now, en route to Prospect with their job finished, the Journeyman sails the open waves back to Prospect. But wait! What is that?? On the horizon, the Master of the Tops informs the crew that a ship approaches! It is a large fishing vessel, smaller than the Journeyman. After a vicious dogfight on the high seas, the Journeyman manages to bind the ships together. Time to board! As the Dreaming gets a refill of it's coke.
 +
 +
==Scene==
  
 
Erin calls for Kringer to follow Timand but not before she gets her bow and quiver from the cat's saddle. Kringer does not look at all excited about this but his a good boy so with a protesting roar the cat follows after Timand. Erin moves to get into position and find aim to shoot anyone that might shoot Timand and the upcoming Kringer.

With her bathing suit riddled with bullets Cicada brandshes her spiked club. At little less eager to run into the carnage than the wolf-pooka perhaps, she nonetheless starts towards the helm where she'd have view of the other vessel's deck and the sea alike. She stands by, preparing to use Wu Tan.

==The Actions==
 +
Timand lets out a massive roar as he leaps onto the deck of the fishing boat, slamming his axe against his shield and then pointing it at the ogre. Its a challenge. As he does this, his skin mottles and hardens. Bullets ping off his skin, leaving bloody grazes on his arms, but he ignores that as he stares down the ogre. The ogre accepts and comes charing at him with his weapon held high, and crashes a mighty blow at Timand's head. But Timand is prepared for this, and bats the weapon away at the last moment, escaping uninjured.
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
Wick catches one of the boggans taking aim at Timand. But before he manages to even begin to take aim, he gets SHOT! By Robert the Satyr. But he can't quite manage to shoot them. He hides behind the ship's wheel. Getting a decent shot off isn't going to be easy. And... to be honest, he doesn't quite have it in him either. And so peeking out through the wheel's spokes, he takes a throwing knife out of an inner pocket and drives it into the deck beneath him (between the boards, leaving no mark). And with that bunk, he uses flicker flash to send Billy the Boggan into the brig - Tabin's guest room.
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
As Clover heads on down below deck she's stripping her top off to start bunking some health back into herself.. but.. crap! That doesn't work! Too bad.. But then she's off trying to get the med kit so she can patch herself up a bit that way.. nope! Derp. Someone's just too distracted to be doing things right!
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
Conn lets lose a pair of whipfast swordstrikes on the Piskey, the first harmlessly catching his cloak but the second strikes true. Cautiously, he keeps his swords at the ready for a counterstrike that doesn't come and quickly taes stock of the situation. Sword at the throat of the stunned Piskey "You are outnumbered, outmatched, and we have no desire to kill any of you. Surrender and you will not be harmed."
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
Erin give Kringer an order and he follows. He sees someone with a pewpew and he is to take them down so he does what he is order to do and here comes the big old cat with claw claw but only one hits as Erin takes aim and shooots the baddie that tried to shoot poor Maggy. Erin moves to reload so she can shoot Bob again before he tries to hit poor Maggy again.
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
Growling in a rather feral tone, Maggy huffs and goes in swinging. IN the mass of gunshots and swords/halberds - she misses purchase after putting a fuck-tonne of force behind one hit. The swing goes offside and misses bob,"ANCHOR DOWN, FUCKER!" she shouts at him. It was the sea that obviously put her offbalance for the attack, but she continues regardless with a continued recklessness. Her tail swaying and wagging behind her in fervent excitement.
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
Cicada assumes a Tai Chi stance, sweeping down to the deck languidly like a ballet dancer. <<"A swan lost at sea. Spoke of life, time and things. None heard; the sea drowned it!">> She recites a poem in her native tongue to incant the forture of Water. She rises with an abrupt upper-cut stance and a tendril of water rises with her movement. It loops around, following the flowing movements of her stance. The force of the water becomes a high intensity spray as she directs the power of the sea right into Jeff's poor ugly face.
 +
<hr>
 +
 +
'''Tamar Salazar may be brash...a bit of a devilish rogue...and keeps horrible company. Like Ogres. But he is no fool. Well! He's not suicidal. So while he is in a hampered daze he gives a little sneer at Conn and then tosses his Halbard onto the deck. The others, don't seem to be as well of a crew as the Journeyman, as they instead look to be intending to ditch their captain behind as they huddle up! Around Jeff, because he's Jeff, and a whole lot of Guns, aiming at the boarding party while putting distance but not firing. Yet.
 +

<OOC> Tabin says, "Your good!"

Bosun Cicada remains in Tai Chi stance, maintaining her hold on the water in the form of a big globby tentacle. She's no longer spraying Jeff in the face. "Ondore! Give us your stuff or I'll call upon the sea to drown you all!" She puffs up her chest threateningly at the other crew, still mad about being shot.

Standing, fists still clenched; Maggy's legs placed as if to leap - glowering towards the other crew with her eyes fixed pertinently on the cowards,"Cross callin' way fer shackin' stones on tha' skyby. IF yer fright tossed to the way-go 's teeth that'll skip stones past the bend...." a bit of a snarl rising over her lips as she ends her words. Her glower turning to a rather feral smile - a barring of teeth to the gaze of those before her while waiting for the rest of her allies to come talking up.

Clover's busy reading the directions on the back of the Bactine bottle when something catches her attention.. some odd sound. Her long ears give a little flick and she turrrnnsss her head so she can glance back and watch towards the rooms for a moment. "Huh.." She drops the bottle and turns around to go investigate, and what she sees has her saying, "Holy crap! Wick! Guys! Ahh, Cap'n!"

Timand lets out a massive roar as he leaps onto the deck of the fishing boat, slamming his axe against his shield and then pointing it at the ogre. Its a challenge. As he does this, his skin mottles and hardens. Bullets ping off his skin, leaving bloody grazes on his arms, but he ignores that as he stares down the ogre. The ogre accepts and comes charing at him with his weapon held high, and crashes a mighty blow at Timand's head. But Timand is prepared for this, and bats the weapon away at the last moment, escaping uninjured.

"The fuck did you do to my ship?!" Tabin looks at Clover, OBVIOUSLY. She is armed with a nice chest, a capped can of Bactine, and is bloody from gunshot wounds. It makes perfect sense. "First! Nice."

Because she must have thought 'spray deliberately' meant 'rip a hole in the side of the ship to add the right amount of water to your bactine spray'.

Clover says, hands going to her hips as she grunts at Tabin and scrunches her nose up, squinting a bit and sticking her tongue out at him for a sec. But hey! Look!

Wick catches one of the boggans taking aim at Timand. But before he manages to even begin to take aim, he gets SHOT! By Robert the Satyr. But he can't quite manage to shoot them. He hides behind the ship's wheel. Getting a decent shot off isn't going to be easy. And... to be honest, he doesn't quite have it in him either. And so peeking out through the wheel's spokes, he takes a throwing knife out of an inner pocket and drives it into the deck beneath him (between the boards, leaving no mark). And with that bunk, he uses flicker flash to send Billy the Boggan into the brig - Tabin's guest room.

Conn leads the Tamar the Manikithed down to the brig and locks him in with the other prisoner. He takes a sailor's biscuit, carves the glyph for Spring into it, and offers it to Clover. "This should make you feel better, I'm going to take first watch over the prisoners. Tell the others to come get me if I'm needed."

Erin lets Tabin do the talking because she's busy trying to get the thing fix because she's not in the mood to go swimming. She is cussing up a storm and looks unhappy as she grrrs a little bit. Kringer will be the last to come off the ship with the guys once the stuff and prisoner is attain.

        As Clover heads on down below deck she's stripping her top off to start bunking some health back into herself.. but.. crap! That doesn't work! Too bad.. But then she's off trying to get the med kit so she can patch herself up a bit that way.. nope! Derp. Someone's just too distracted to be doing things right!

<OOC> Tabin says, "I know the Bactine is cold. But you SPRAY it. You dont rub the bottle on yourself. Jesus."

−
        Conn lets lose a pair of whipfast swordstrikes on the Piskey, the first harmlessly catching his cloak but the second strikes true. Cautiously, he keeps his swords at the ready for a counterstrike that doesn't come and quickly taes stock of the situation. Sword at the throat of the stunned Piskey "You are outnumbered, outmatched, and we have no desire to kill any of you. Surrender and you will not be harmed."

'''Issues of the Ship:
−
<<OOC>> Clover says, "Ohh! First remove cap! Her dice is the reason for stupid instructions on the back of things XD"
+
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "Erin/Kringer."
+
'''Tabin accused Clover of desertion! Breaking the Charter, punishable by marooning. The crew however did not believe it malicious, and therefore Clover is required to scrub the deck and clean the toilet and shower.
−
Erin give Kringer an order and he follows. He sees someone with a pewpew and he is to take them down so he does what he is order to do and here comes the big old cat with claw claw but only one hits as Erin takes aim and shooots the baddie that tried to shoot poor Maggy. Erin moves to reload so she can shoot Bob again before he tries to hit poor Maggy again.
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "Maggy"
 
−
          Growling in a rather feral tone, Maggy huffs and goes in swinging. IN the mass of gunshots and swords/halberds - she misses purchase after putting a fuck-tonne of force behind one hit. The swing goes offside and misses bob,"ANCHOR DOWN, FUCKER!" she shouts at him. It was the sea that obviously put her offbalance for the attack, but she continues regardless with a continued recklessness. Her tail swaying and wagging behind her in fervent excitement.

<OOC> Tabin says, "Lastly Cicada."

          Cicada assumes a Tai Chi stance, sweeping down to the deck languidly like a ballet dancer. <<"A swan lost at sea. Spoke of life, time and things. None heard; the sea drowned it!">> She recites a poem in her native tongue to incant the forture of Water. She rises with an abrupt upper-cut stance and a tendril of water rises with her movement. It loops around, following the flowing movements of her stance. The force of the water becomes a high intensity spray as she directs the power of the sea right into Jeff's poor ugly face.  
 
−
          Cicada used Water Gun. Was it effective?
 
−
<OOC> Cicada says, "waterbending :)"
 
−
<OOC> Maggy says, "I dig it."

<OOC> Maggy says, "gotta do the blood-bending tho"

<OOC> Cicada says, "well... if people are 90% water..."

<<OOC>> Clover says, "Yasssss!"
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "Okay. Back now. Meth heads. THey are...the best."
 
−
<OOC> Maggy says, "Yer a powerhouse. I couldn't deal with 'em when I worked donation security."
 
−
Tamar Salazar may be brash...a bit of a devilish rogue...and keeps horrible company. Like Ogres. But he is no fool. Well! He's not suicidal. So while he is in a hampered daze he gives a little sneer at Conn and then tosses his Halbard onto the deck. The others, don't seem to be as well of a crew as the Journeyman, as they instead look to be intending to ditch their captain behind as they huddle up! Around Jeff, because he's Jeff, and a whole lot of Guns, aiming at the boarding party while putting distance but not firing. Yet.
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "Unless someone moves to attack the crew (f*** the captain), we are out of combat rounds."
 
−
<OOC> Conn says, "I think unless we're trying to steal the boat's stores, we're probably good to be out of combat rounds."
 
−
<OOC> Wick says, "We win!!"
 
−
<OOC> Timand says, "yay us. Is Tamar now our prisoner?"
 
−
<<OOC>> Clover says, "Free pose now? n.n"

<OOC> Timand sniffles. But but...i had 4 more attacks left this round. LOL.
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "You can keep beating the shit out of people! I'm not stopping you"
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "You have actions, use 'em as you like."
 
−
<OOC> Timand says, "naaah, i will accept an honorable surrender."

<OOC> Conn throws a +10 dice oakenshield at himself. >.<

−
<OOC> Maggy says, "....that's not a bad idea conn. USE THEM DICE>"
 
−
<<OOC>> Erin says, "yeah no need to attack people that are surrendring"
 
−
          Bosun Cicada remains in Tai Chi stance, maintaining her hold on the water in the form of a big globby tentacle. She's no longer spraying Jeff in the face. "Ondore! Give us your stuff or I'll call upon the sea to drown you all!" She puffs up her chest threateningly at the other crew, still mad about being shot.  
 
−
          Standing, fists still clenched; Maggy's legs placed as if to leap - glowering towards the other crew with her eyes fixed pertinently on the cowards,"Cross callin' way fer shackin' stones on tha' skyby. IF yer fright tossed to the way-go 's teeth that'll skip stones past the bend...." a bit of a snarl rising over her lips as she ends her words. Her glower turning to a rather feral smile - a barring of teeth to the gaze of those before her while waiting for the rest of her allies to come talking up.
 
−
        Clover's busy reading the directions on the back of the Bactine bottle when something catches her attention.. some odd sound. Her long ears give a little flick and she turrrnnsss her head so she can glance back and watch towards the rooms for a moment. "Huh.." She drops the bottle and turns around to go investigate, and what she sees has her saying, "Holy crap! Wick! Guys! Ahh, Cap'n!" She cheeses it to the steps and calls up, "We got us a situation down here!"

<OOC> Maggy says, "Ahh yes - and my food arrives just as we've become victorious."

        Erin lowers her bow just a moment as she hears Clover though she moves in her direction to see what is going on.
 
−
Tabin keeps his piece leveled on Tamar's head, burning eyes gleaming for another shot when his eyes get averted to Clover! Coming up from below deck! Why was she down there?? "Wha?" He looks over at Clover. Then looks to Cicada. "Bosun. Take care of this mess." He says as he attends to whatever is going on.

You can either take their offer, or maximize your chances and taking more of them.

Tamar sniffs, but says nothing to Conn as he gets taken aboard the Journeyman.
 
−
MEANWHILE! BELOW DECKS!
 
−
The house deck is now ankle deep in water, the door to the guest stateroom has been blown open and ....ugh...that's a LOT OF WATER, just you know...flooding the entirety of the bottom of the deck.
 
−
<OOC> Timand says, "zomg. Did billy do that"
 
−
<OOC> Cicada says, "Clover did it."
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "The door was locked so he made one?"
 
−
<OOC> Tabin says, "Not his fault it led him underwater."
 
−
<OOC> Cicada says, "she's framing poor innocent billy"
 
−
        Ignore the fact she's still topless; she's got more important things to take care of than finding her shirt at the moment! Clover's heading the way towards the rooms below deck, and as she comes across the water that -was- contained by the door she grunts, "Holy shit!"
 
−
<<OOC>> Clover laughs
 
−
        Erin gets down below as she steps in water she blinks "Fuck" and puts down her bow as she begins to move to fix the big old hole that is there as she starts to mutter not happy.
 
−
Wick stills as the Ogre captain surrenders to Conn. But there are still a whole lot of guns aiming at the boarding party. So he remains tense and watchful at the helm of their own ship. He blinks as Clover starts calling from down in the ship and he catches his lower lip with a wince. But there are still so many guns being aimed above at the boarding party. And there are already several heading down to help her. So the Helmsman stays put.
 
−
Timand points at Jeff, and...actually gives him a respectful nod. "Well fought. Next time." Then it's off to see what goods the ship is carrying that he'll be bringing back to the Journeyman.
 
−
"The fuck did you do to my ship?!" Tabin looks at Clover, OBVIOUSLY. She is armed with a nice chest, a capped can of Bactine, and is bloody from gunshot wounds. It makes perfect sense. "First! Nice." He says. "Second, get to Conn. We'll handle things down here. Conn'll look to your wounds." Because she must have thought 'spray deliberately' meant 'rip a hole in the side of the ship to add the right amount of water to your bactine spray'.
 
−
The hold of the Creeping Star has all sorts of goods. A lot of which is mundane. Rich fabrics and textiles, basically anything you might plunder from a freighter it looks like that could fetch you LOTS of money. Chimerical goods? There is plenty of Dross, and several items. (we will cover this in @mail, as it is getting late).

          Bosun Cicada's nostril's flare defiantly at the enemy crew. She tilts her head, as if considering. "Okay, ware! Put down your guns and start bringin' out the stuff and you can run away home. Maggy-chan! Timand! You watch 'em so they don't try to hide anything good or shiny! Any sneaky tricks and I can sink your lousy boat like--" She snaps her fingers and the water tendril whip-cracks, "that!"

Clover says, hands going to her hips as she grunts at Tabin and scrunches her nose up, squinting a bit and sticking her tongue out at him for a sec. But hey! Look!

Set

LAST TIME! ON PRIVATEER!

The Journeyman narrowly escaped the vengeance of the Gwydion Jasper Argo and the Gwydion Three. Now, en route to Prospect with their job finished, the Journeyman sails the open waves back to Prospect. But wait! What is that?? On the horizon, the Master of the Tops informs the crew that a ship approaches! It is a large fishing vessel, smaller than the Journeyman. After a vicious dogfight on the high seas, the Journeyman manages to bind the ships together. Time to board! As the Dreaming gets a refill of it's coke.

Scene

Erin calls for Kringer to follow Timand but not before she gets her bow and quiver from the cat's saddle. Kringer does not look at all excited about this but his a good boy so with a protesting roar the cat follows after Timand. Erin moves to get into position and find aim to shoot anyone that might shoot Timand and the upcoming Kringer.

For the Captain's part, the term 'surrender or die' makes him roll his eyes. "Come on man." He says, mostly to himself. "We're supposed to be badass. Like...'no banter, no barter, no quarter'. At least -sound- awesome." He grumbles, pulling out his cutlass and a 9mm pistol. The Captain never leaves the ship, so he takes position to shoot people, or shoot people crossing over, or stab people if he can't shoot them crossing over.

Standing on the rail of the Journeyman, Conn readies himself for combat. No boarding party will be getting passed him unchallenged, swords at the ready, prepared to move in fluid motion if needed. He moves without noise, ready to pounce on the nearest attacker, swords flowing as an extension of his body. He flashes a smile and wink to Wick "we got this love," he says with a follow on wink..

Clover is watching as others head on over to the other ship, and at first she starts to head that way as well, but.. ouch. Things still hurt. She pauses and takes a look back and forth between ships, then gives a huff hiss as she stalks down beneath the deck.She'll be back, surely!

Maggy Grins with a savage gleam as she watches Cicada's wounds close up,"HAHahAH!" a startling cackle,"Far takin' tha' lead 'n fume o'er to 'em?" eyebrow wiggling as she stands fists clenched and moves to make her way over to the other boat and follow the Timand in Boarding the enemy boat,"CRACK THE TAKERS NAMES!" she shouts with a healthy enthusiasm.

Wick lets go of the ship's wheel. Now that the two vessels are tied together, their heading doesn't much matter. But he doesn't want to venture far - just in case they need to make a quick getaway. And so he remains where he is and takes up a firearm instead. Loading it and locking it into readiness - he seems to know what he's doing well enough. He smiles off at Conn with a glow of warmth. "Right!" But then as Clover heads off down deck, he blinks, catching his lower lip. "Clover! You ok?" he calls after her.

With her bathing suit riddled with bullets Cicada brandshes her spiked club. At little less eager to run into the carnage than the wolf-pooka perhaps, she nonetheless starts towards the helm where she'd have view of the other vessel's deck and the sea alike. She stands by, preparing to use Wu Tan.

The Actions

Timand lets out a massive roar as he leaps onto the deck of the fishing boat, slamming his axe against his shield and then pointing it at the ogre. Its a challenge. As he does this, his skin mottles and hardens. Bullets ping off his skin, leaving bloody grazes on his arms, but he ignores that as he stares down the ogre. The ogre accepts and comes charing at him with his weapon held high, and crashes a mighty blow at Timand's head. But Timand is prepared for this, and bats the weapon away at the last moment, escaping uninjured.

Wick catches one of the boggans taking aim at Timand. But before he manages to even begin to take aim, he gets SHOT! By Robert the Satyr. But he can't quite manage to shoot them. He hides behind the ship's wheel. Getting a decent shot off isn't going to be easy. And... to be honest, he doesn't quite have it in him either. And so peeking out through the wheel's spokes, he takes a throwing knife out of an inner pocket and drives it into the deck beneath him (between the boards, leaving no mark). And with that bunk, he uses flicker flash to send Billy the Boggan into the brig - Tabin's guest room.

As Clover heads on down below deck she's stripping her top off to start bunking some health back into herself.. but.. crap! That doesn't work! Too bad.. But then she's off trying to get the med kit so she can patch herself up a bit that way.. nope! Derp. Someone's just too distracted to be doing things right!

Conn lets lose a pair of whipfast swordstrikes on the Piskey, the first harmlessly catching his cloak but the second strikes true. Cautiously, he keeps his swords at the ready for a counterstrike that doesn't come and quickly taes stock of the situation. Sword at the throat of the stunned Piskey "You are outnumbered, outmatched, and we have no desire to kill any of you. Surrender and you will not be harmed."

Erin give Kringer an order and he follows. He sees someone with a pewpew and he is to take them down so he does what he is order to do and here comes the big old cat with claw claw but only one hits as Erin takes aim and shooots the baddie that tried to shoot poor Maggy. Erin moves to reload so she can shoot Bob again before he tries to hit poor Maggy again.

Growling in a rather feral tone, Maggy huffs and goes in swinging. IN the mass of gunshots and swords/halberds - she misses purchase after putting a fuck-tonne of force behind one hit. The swing goes offside and misses bob,"ANCHOR DOWN, FUCKER!" she shouts at him. It was the sea that obviously put her offbalance for the attack, but she continues regardless with a continued recklessness. Her tail swaying and wagging behind her in fervent excitement.

Cicada assumes a Tai Chi stance, sweeping down to the deck languidly like a ballet dancer. <<"A swan lost at sea. Spoke of life, time and things. None heard; the sea drowned it!">> She recites a poem in her native tongue to incant the forture of Water. She rises with an abrupt upper-cut stance and a tendril of water rises with her movement. It loops around, following the flowing movements of her stance. The force of the water becomes a high intensity spray as she directs the power of the sea right into Jeff's poor ugly face.

Tamar Salazar may be brash...a bit of a devilish rogue...and keeps horrible company. Like Ogres. But he is no fool. Well! He's not suicidal. So while he is in a hampered daze he gives a little sneer at Conn and then tosses his Halbard onto the deck. The others, don't seem to be as well of a crew as the Journeyman, as they instead look to be intending to ditch their captain behind as they huddle up! Around Jeff, because he's Jeff, and a whole lot of Guns, aiming at the boarding party while putting distance but not firing. Yet.

Bosun Cicada remains in Tai Chi stance, maintaining her hold on the water in the form of a big globby tentacle. She's no longer spraying Jeff in the face. "Ondore! Give us your stuff or I'll call upon the sea to drown you all!" She puffs up her chest threateningly at the other crew, still mad about being shot.

Standing, fists still clenched; Maggy's legs placed as if to leap - glowering towards the other crew with her eyes fixed pertinently on the cowards,"Cross callin' way fer shackin' stones on tha' skyby. IF yer fright tossed to the way-go 's teeth that'll skip stones past the bend...." a bit of a snarl rising over her lips as she ends her words. Her glower turning to a rather feral smile - a barring of teeth to the gaze of those before her while waiting for the rest of her allies to come talking up.

Huh? What's that noise?" Clover rolls Perception + Alertness vs 8 for 2 successes.

Clover's busy reading the directions on the back of the Bactine bottle when something catches her attention.. some odd sound. Her long ears give a little flick and she turrrnnsss her head so she can glance back and watch towards the rooms for a moment. "Huh.." She drops the bottle and turns around to go investigate, and what she sees has her saying, "Holy crap! Wick! Guys! Ahh, Cap'n!" She cheeses it to the steps and calls up, "We got us a situation down here!"

Erin lowers her bow just a moment as she hears Clover though she moves in her direction to see what is going on.

Tabin keeps his piece leveled on Tamar's head, burning eyes gleaming for another shot when his eyes get averted to Clover! Coming up from below deck! Why was she down there?? "Wha?" He looks over at Clover. Then looks to Cicada. "Bosun. Take care of this mess." He says as he attends to whatever is going on.

Erin, Tabin and Clover head below decks. The remaining crew, kept tabs on by the Bosun, faces a decision. The Creeping Star is willing to hand over Tamar AND the hold of their ship, in exchange for letting them go. Otherwise, the crew will have to dog it out with the crew in a bloody battle to resolve's end.

Accept the terms Fight!
Conn
Timand
Maggy
MAJORITY WIN

Conn begins leading the Spriggan across to the Journeyman "You give us the goods and our prisoners, you don't attack us again and we go our separate ways; peacable and all friendly like. Do we have an accord?"

Tamar sniffs, but says nothing to Conn as he gets taken aboard the Journeyman.

MEANWHILE! BELOW DECKS!

The house deck is now ankle deep in water, the door to the guest stateroom has been blown open and ....ugh...that's a LOT OF WATER, just you know...flooding the entirety of the bottom of the deck.

Ignore the fact she's still topless; she's got more important things to take care of than finding her shirt at the moment! Clover's heading the way towards the rooms below deck, and as she comes across the water that -was- contained by the door she grunts, "Holy shit!"

Erin gets down below as she steps in water she blinks "Fuck" and puts down her bow as she begins to move to fix the big old hole that is there as she starts to mutter not happy.

Wick stills as the Ogre captain surrenders to Conn. But there are still a whole lot of guns aiming at the boarding party. So he remains tense and watchful at the helm of their own ship. He blinks as Clover starts calling from down in the ship and he catches his lower lip with a wince. But there are still so many guns being aimed above at the boarding party. And there are already several heading down to help her. So the Helmsman stays put.

Timand points at Jeff, and...actually gives him a respectful nod. "Well fought. Next time." Then it's off to see what goods the ship is carrying that he'll be bringing back to the Journeyman.

"The fuck did you do to my ship?!" Tabin looks at Clover, OBVIOUSLY. She is armed with a nice chest, a capped can of Bactine, and is bloody from gunshot wounds. It makes perfect sense. "First! Nice." He says. "Second, get to Conn. We'll handle things down here. Conn'll look to your wounds." Because she must have thought 'spray deliberately' meant 'rip a hole in the side of the ship to add the right amount of water to your bactine spray'.

The hold of the Creeping Star has all sorts of goods. A lot of which is mundane. Rich fabrics and textiles, basically anything you might plunder from a freighter it looks like that could fetch you LOTS of money. Chimerical goods? There is plenty of Dross, and several items. (we will cover this in @mail, as it is getting late).

Bosun Cicada's nostril's flare defiantly at the enemy crew. She tilts her head, as if considering. "Okay, ware! Put down your guns and start bringin' out the stuff and you can run away home. Maggy-chan! Timand! You watch 'em so they don't try to hide anything good or shiny! Any sneaky tricks and I can sink your lousy boat like--" She snaps her fingers and the water tendril whip-cracks, "that!"

Maggy decides to speak actual english! Maggy rolls Willpower vs 8 for 2 successes.

Maggy licks her lips and stands upright from her 'ready' position. Legs still ancy, tail still wagging. She nods her head to Cicada,"Yeh yeh.." and as Timand heads below she shouts,"GET ME SOMETHIN' NICE!" in a rather clear and concise manner before he disappears into the Creeping Star's hold. Elsewise she waits, holding, just standing at the ready before the aiming crew.

The crew complies with the Bosun, a few of the Boggans going down into the hold of the Creeping Star and coming up with footlockers and chests, real luxury goods, stashes of dross, some chimerical items (to be determined later), are transported and not so much put down, but dropped on the Journeyman's main deck. Once the last of it is clear (and Timand can confirm they emptied it), the crew make their way off.

Erin quick-fixes the hole to keep it from sinking the Journeyman! Erin rolls Dexterity + Crafts vs 4 for 6 successes. WP

With deft work on behalf of the Nocker Kin a makeshift barricade stops the onrushing water through chimerical braces and a bit of moxie. Thankfully, boats like the Journeyman have Equipment for things like this. "My fucking -house-." He grumbles as he turns on the drains to lower the water level in the ship. "Oh well." He sighs.

"N-Nothing! I was trying to get the Bactine to work and I heard the sound of water, but like.. heavier than a shower. Even heavier than a good, -warm- shower," as if they're somehow different, "and then there was water pouring out beneath the door and I came up to get you! Honest!" Clover says, hands going to her hips as she grunts at Tabin and scrunches her nose up, squinting a bit and sticking her tongue out at him for a sec. But hey! Look! Clover gasps when she sees her shirt floating along in the water, so it's scooped up and tugged on as one pulls wet clothing on, and she turns to head off to the deck.

Cicada is still oblivious to the disaster down in the hold and calls out. "If you find any Jade I call it!"

Timand is down in the hold too, tossing stuff aside. SIlks? Naah. Jade? Naah. Oooh, this is interesting. He picks up some dross. "Got us some booty!" he hoots cheerfully. And what this....? <waits for mail>

MEANWHILE! Tamar is secured in the not blown-up guest stateroom, and after the door is locked, the crew is left with the plunders of a victory.

Conn heals Clover! Conn rolls Spring + Fae vs 7 for 4 successes.

Conn leads the Tamar the Manikithed down to the brig and locks him in with the other prisoner. He takes a sailor's biscuit, carves the glyph for Spring into it, and offers it to Clover. "This should make you feel better, I'm going to take first watch over the prisoners. Tell the others to come get me if I'm needed."

Erin lets Tabin do the talking because she's busy trying to get the thing fix because she's not in the mood to go swimming. She is cussing up a storm and looks unhappy as she grrrs a little bit. Kringer will be the last to come off the ship with the guys once the stuff and prisoner is attain.

Issues of the Ship:

Tabin accused Clover of desertion! Breaking the Charter, punishable by marooning. The crew however did not believe it malicious, and therefore Clover is required to scrub the deck and clean the toilet and shower.
