The Sea Queen cuts through the rough ocean waters with an unnatural speed.


The air is wet with sea spray as you look out from the Quarter Deck, enjoying the momentary break from your duties.

"A grand morning to you sir!" The unmistakable cheery voice of Lieutenant Commander Bartigan Delrey, the ships Sailing Master, calls to you snapping you out of your reverie.

"Im sorry to disturb you friend, but the Captain calls the Senior Officers to the Wardroom. He also orders you to prepare your Marines for inspection later today."

”I’m up here, Bart!” The sun streams down through line riggings and impossibly blond hair as Flint slides down like an actor onto a stage. Landing into a stride, bearing pearl white teeth on shoulders too broad to be carried on such a tight waist, he lets go the rope letting the counter weight crash onto something out of sight. Iiiiiiit's me! HURRAY! Yes, I suppose the men will need a good example before their inspection!”

Bad Bartigan laughs and says, "Hitting your ration of rum early again I see my friend! Good for you!"


"Atch it up dere ye drunk fukerz! Fuk rouund lik dat agin, nd I peez n yer fud!" The call from Cud 'Cutty' McGillicutty yells from the Forecastle Deck below the Quarter Deck you both command from! As you look over the railing, you see that a barrel of water has crashed to the deck below, nowhere near anyone of the crew. The ship's oldest mate stands in the water spilling from the deck. Cutty shakes a fist in the air up towards you both mockingly and smiles ear to ear, used to the 'Sea Queen's' daily tomfoolery.

"Well of course it broke! -Couldn't bare weight of these sea puppies!", Flint shouts back while indicating his bulging loins in crimson tights, "Right men?!"

::Right!::

"WoOF!!!", he confirms and continues to check his Marines, "Alright line it up... Looking good...", blond mustache bristling.

"GUN!", he calls out looking left with right arm extended right. Somehow, someone from out of sight tosses Flint his enchanted musket, squarely landing in his hand. Without missing a beat he goes through the drills. "Present Arms!"


Roll Diplomacy Flint!


diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"Another glorious day in the corps! A day in the marine corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!


"We are with you sir! For freedom! For Galadan! To the death!" The voice of Zaxos the Bold yells in almost fanatical loyalty.


"WoOF!"

::WOOF!::

"Your men look more then ready Flint," Bad Bartigan says with the utmost respect. "We better get to the Wardroom though before the Captain gets irritated!" Bartigan disappears down the stairs, in a mad rush not to even get close to the Captain's bad side, leaving you with your assembled platoon.


"Wait here men, better go see the captain!" Flint heads to the wardroom.

::WOOF!::


You both go down one deck to the Wardroom and find Captain Esmeralda Nireen, and the rest of us the Sea Queen's command crew, just about to begin the afternoons meeting.


Flint comes to a sliding halt upon seeing the captain and waves Bart over, cover his lips with back of his hand, "Pssst! Were you aware the captain is a woman?!!!..."

"Good morning Captain! How can I fill you loin day with pleasure today?!"

Bartigan steps away from Flint's side and holds his hands up. "I barely even know this a$$hole Captain..."


"AHEM.. long day I said, Capt!"


Captain Nireen rolls her eyes used to the everyday shenanigans of her crew.

"Tomorrow we put to port in Beliai everyone. I want everyone ready when we get there. This war that's begun may have reached to the neutral port, and the Sea Queen may not be as welcome there as she once was. As a ship of Galadan, our orders are to ascertain any potential threat that may exist, so be ready. We need to know where we stand in the northern seas. I want everyone to 'beat to quarters' as soon as the cove comes into view. Understood?"


"Yes Captain!" The resounding cry fills the Wardroom.


"To your duties then!"

The crew salutes and steps out of the Wardroom, going about their duties.


"Except you two, the Captain says motioning for the both of you to stay.


Once everyone else leaves the Wardroom, Captain Nireen turns to the both of you and says, "Rummed up already Commander Flint? It's a wonder you ever earned your commission with the Galadanian Marines. Whose butt did you kiss to get posting to the Sea Queen anyway?"

"My own Captain!", Flint boasts proudly, "Nope! Haven't had a drop!"

::WoOF!:: (faintly from outside)

"What's your orders Capt?! You didn't ask for some daisy sniffing diplomat! You asked for The Best - you got him! Now let's go kill some natives!


Captain Nireen's demeanor seems to darken for the moment as she considers the importance of the upcoming mission.

"When we arrive at the neutral port, you and Bad Barigan will go into Beliai, and recover a Spy who was deployed in the North. Galadan wishes to see him returned."

She goes to her safe, opens it, and pulls a piece of parchment out.

"The Spy's name is Faylon."

She hands you a drawing of the man. His sly grin, and red headband are the first things the both of you notice.

"Make no mistake you two, this will not be regular shore leave, this will be a rescue and recovery mission. Do try and keep it quiet, and not so spectacular Flint."

With a hand salute which cuts through the air like a soft ::woof:: to the captain, Flint slaps Bart on the shoulder, "-to the Rescue!"

"By your will oh Captain, my Captain."

Bad Bartigan says as he steps to attention and bows.


Marava's Tavern is as welcoming to you as ever Faylon. You sit patiently waiting for your 'guests' to arrive. You have been in Beliai for 3 months now, and you are sure that your mission is close to it's end.

High Lord Darren Athlan of the Order of the Moon has sent word that his business in the Gladiator City of Hadorak has concluded. He ordered you to signal the Sea Queen that you all were ready to leave. You sent the signal 3 days ago, and you know that the Sea Queen made port in Beliai this morning. Now you sit in the upscale Tavern, awaiting the High Lord's expected time of arrival.

"Can I git ye something ser?" The Barmaid Abigail Tanner asks genuinely.

Feylon smiles broadly

"Something to drink would be nice"


On the way down the gangplank, Flint pauses, "Wait a minute the captain has fooled us before, this Faylon may be a woman!"

"Don't remember if I've been to this port before. What do those orders say?"

-Posted with Wayfinder


Wait for your turn!


"Looks like ye're expectin friends Faylon. Shall I fetch ye more then one?"


m human alch/5

"Just me for now thanks"


Abigail moves off to get your drinks Faylon. You look over to watch the Tavern's many patrons. Your eyes scan the crowd tracking for any potential enemies.


Now?

"You always forget your time in Beliai because you're usually drunk up to your gills by the time we hit Beli Bay. Look at you. Sober! I always knew you were responsible."

As Bad Bartigan walks down the small ferry's gangplank next to Flint, he opens the orders containing Faylon's caricature, and begins to read the details.

"We need to meet this Faylon at Marava's. Then get him and his cargo back to the ship safely and discreetly. Doesn't sound hard."

Bad Bartigan looks out to the cove where the Sea Queen is anchored. The view of the entire bay has always been best from this spot. He points and says, "Captain has a great eye for these kinds of situations. Having the ship 'beat to quarters' while anchored is a superb maneuver. This is an important one I think ole buddy. We should probably be somewhat discreet."


Flint nods in agreement, "I still can't believe the captain is a woman! Since, you say we've been here in Belail before, we'll just follow the chanting sound of my name!!"

"Beliai Flint. Bell E Eye! Oh look here comes one of your adoring fans now!"

Bart points to a middle aged Pirate hobbling up the street towards you.


You see Luther of Lux shambling towards you.

"Damn ye Flint! Where is me 30 gold ye owe me?!


A human well armed man steps into the Tavern and surveys the room, focusing on you Faylon.

Roll Perception!

"That's for the privilege of drinking with Ol'Flint!", Flint answers before even seeing who's talking. "Now show us to the Mavara before I double it!"

You recognize the man as Leoran Athlan, son of Darren Athlan.

Recognizing the contact from the description his father gave him, Leoran approaches Faylon. "You must be Faylon. My father told me to expect you here. Have all the preparations been made for us to depart?", he inquires, while keeping his voice low. Leoran appears to be anxious and continues scanning the tavern.
