Alkaid_____
Alkaid Keeps on Kicking pirates.
There were a couple dozen pirates down on pier 3 (Charlie), but they, along with Red 7 flee in a panic.
They had just seen maybe forty of their buddies mowed down by a Giant, a couple of guys, some dancing girls, an elf and a weird dwarf with a freaky magic beard. And they rolled low on the morale check.
To make a long story short, the two triremes of Riddleport pirates that nosed around the headland found that the only docks that they could offload at were held by the enemy; and with no support visible ashore, they simply called it a loss and backed oars to get out at sea again and return home.
The pirates on shore were surrounded eventually, once the militia got their act together, and they either died, surrendered, or escaped into the countryside.
By that time it was nightfall and no one pursued them that evening; everyone was bone tired and resting.
Tomorrow would be another day.
Back at the Rusty Dragon, Rafael buys a round for everyone and toasts the successes of the day. "We did well saving Sandpoint from these pirates... we deserve a little r&r."
Midori accepts a glass of wine, looking puzzled.
"That made NO sense. Riddleport is almost 200 miles from here. The only entrance by sea is Sandpoint's hidden harbor, the only break in a 120 foot sea cliff for almost half that distance. Plus, Sandpoint is a chartered colony of Magnimar, only about 50 miles away. This was practically a declaration of war. Seriously, given the harbor entrance, this battle could have been settled before it started by a couple of casters with wands of fireball stationed at each cliffside entrance to the harbor. What were they thinking?"
She pauses after her rant...
"OK, so...where's Ameiko? How is the sheriff? How many wounded, how many did we lose?"
Korbin sits at a stool, legs dangling above the floor. The beard holds his mug with a thick, hairy fist. He seems in higher spirits since last being in the Rusty Dragon.
"Oh ho! Haven't had a thrill like in a bit. 'Tween all us, we musta saved hun'reds. Think'll give us their boat as a reward if I ask?" He looks over to Rafael. "'Magine it, two of us on a boat. Have ourselves a wanderin' monastary, we would."
Korbin reaches towards a thick bag, popping a cork from it. He reaches into it now, and recoils with a wet hand and a large, white crab. "OI! Some fish over here when ya can, maybe mussels," yells Korbin to no one in particular. He turns his attention to the crab, placing it on the table. "Did good today, din't we?"
King Crab bubbles, its mouth foaming. When it is done bubbling to Korbin, it rhythmically snaps its pincers. It remains calm.
"Eeheh! Knew ya would like that one! Almost fell in off the pier with that jump, I did!"
"Agreed, Midori, the attack made little sense.. but it has been repelled, that's all that matters now... "
He takes a sip of his wine and turns to Korbin with a grin. "A floating monastery, traveling about the Varisian coast, what a novel idea. I like it... But I think we have more pressing matters to deal with before we can turn our attentions to such an endeavor."
He watches Korbin with his crab and blinks a few times... and then recalls it's a familiar, not dinner. "You did some prodigious maneuvers on that pier, Korbin. Impressed me so the pirates must have been near pissing themselves when they saw you and Brin coming."
"I was disappointed that we had to kill so many. And they were not even half as hard as the one devil dog that almost did me in."
Brin knocks back some serious ale.
"Anyone need some armor made?" Brin taps his own plate armor. "I have learned to make the most challenging of projects come to completion."
