Aqguazula will quickly acquire some of Badgers gear: Her coins, pipe, jewellery and Shortword. He rips a piece of fabric off of her shirt, draws a black looking spot with his blood from his arm and jams the sign in her pocket.
Aqguazula will be careful to remove them as he has his own piercings.
"That will teach her. She's going to have a rough morning."
Linnet approaches Aqguazula and whispers, "I think that man might be dead..."
Aqguazula looks worried,"hmm are you sure!? Let me check."
Aqguazula approaches the Fipps, he attempts to do basic first aid on him.
"By the gods, you're right."
Not sure which Deities Fipps worshipped, he will still attempted some sort of final parting of his soul.
"May the gods have Mercy on his soul, even if he was a bastard"
Aqguazula spits on Fipps.
Linnet furrows her brow. The officers had seemed pretty clear about not killing other on board; then again, Fipps had chosen to get involved in a fight unrelated to him. Perhaps they would have no sympathy for him.
"Anything we should do with the body? Maybe we should pretend he's fine and drag him off to bed..."
" I will would of suggested throwing him overboard, but you're idea is maybe better. Bed or the bilge your choice?"
Making a quick announcement," Thank you everyone, we will be here all week." He said jokingly.
Aqguazula will quickly scan the deck looking for officers that might of noticed the commotion. I must be getting tired, but there is much work to do.
He will pick up Badger's body and begins to bring her downstairs to the bilge or to Grok's store, might get her in extra trouble. " Linnet probably be best to grab the other one."
"Bilge sounds more like what they deserve." Linnet puts Fipps' arm over her shoulder and hauls him up. "I'm sure we can set up a pretty scene."
(favoured enemy +2)
(should go right to bed after tiring myself out with body-hauling)
Sasha hears something going on, but it is over before she can even have a thought as to what she should do. so, she returns to her task.
the first locker does not have what she is looking for so she just closes it and leaves it be.
the second locker on the other hand, "jackpot" she whispers. she quickly grabs her locket and puts it on, she then grabs all of her missing gear as well as Conchobhar's flask and the scroll tubes.
Trying to grab as much of the other gear that belongs to the party as she possibly can, Sasha then quickly and quietly as possible closes the locker and tries to slip down to her bunk with everything.
hoping that the scuffle going on topside will be enough of a distraction.

Don't fail me now you fool, I need to get to Grok's shop. Wanting to plan one of his maces in her hand as to make it appear she was robbing the Quartermaster.
I just need to get down stairs, almost there.
Linnet follows, dragging Fipps and keeping an eye out for officers as well.
(+2 FE)
Aqguazula carries the incapacitated Badger over his shoulder with relative ease. He slowly and maintaining his distance incase another brawl ensues approaches the large Mwgani man known as Maheem.
" Hey are you the one they call Maheem?" Questioned Aqguazula.
"Now now I don't want to get into another brawl, the names Aqguazula."
he soon remembers that he's carry a knocked out women over his shoulder," Oh, don't worry about her I was just planning on putting her to sleep, she's a tough on nearly had me stain the deck with my own blood."
" I saw you on the day of the bloody hour, you're a tough man. Mostly weak little men would of been dead after the way they treated you." Pausing or a moment to readjust the weight on his shoulder." However you aren't like most men, no I can see it in your eyes. You're like a typhoon, calm and relaxed, that is until you get too close and unleash a devastating fury. I have a friend that is much like that, you must know Shivikah?"
Aqguazula waits to catch his breath, after that fight his energy is mostly expelled. The was still much to set into motion.
"Tell me about yourself stranger, what brings you onto this ship of the damned?I'm just one of the new recruits, just trying to make allies and get it in good with some people, So far I've got Shivikah,Cog and Ratline. maybe you'd like to join us, share a drink after a hard day of work?"
Maheem arches an eyebrow at Aqguazula before nodding towards Badger. "What you doin with Badge?"
He shakes his head when Aqguazula continues to speak, ignoring the flattery, grinning to himself. "Look, just leave Badge here with me and I'll see she keeps her nose away from you from now on. As to yer lil crew o mates, aye I'll share a drink with yeh. Sounds good to me. But not tonight. Sun ain't gonna be long in risin. I'm gonna get to me bed soon. Maybe some other night!"
As Linnet drags Fipps along, she feels a pat on her calf, looking down to find the man staring up at her looking bemused, beaten and in pain. "Lass, I don't give a f#*% any more... put me down and I will nay even look at ya ever again!"
Aguazula will look at maheem with a look of frustration," fine you won me over."
With his meaty hand, he grabs badger by her hair and flinging her off of his shoulder, holding her like a child would with a ragdoll. " take the woman, she's yours now. Before I forget maheem, I left a promise in her pocket. You remind her about it,if she doesn't concur to our deal, I'm going to need to complete the promise I gave her."
Aqguazula put out his hand to shake with his, " as for that drink, how about tomorrow night?"
As Linnet expected the body she was carrying to be dead, she shrieks, staggers, and almost drops him. I really need to work on my healing! Heart pounding, she sets him down, none too gently.
She opts for, "Just be nice!" as her parting words to him.
After that large shock to the system, she definitely needs some rest. As she passes Aqguazula, she says, "Lost yours, too? Mine was alive after all, if you can believe it! What a night! Well, off to bed with me."
Bleepos snores loudly, dreaming with a giant goblin-like green kraken thing attacking the ship. The creature is obviously female and is singing - think "Ursula" from the Little Mermaid - and he's near her, piloting the ship with a purple tricorne hat.
Chandria managed to track down Scourges whereabouts pretty easily, the man had stationed himself on the Poop Deck, with a group of sailors, and was immersed in a game of cards.
As you rise from your slumber to the now familiar morning bell, you get nods from those you have become acquainted with, and even some smiles (Fipps in particular smiles shyly at Linnet before catching himself and ducking up above deck).
You are greeted on deck with breakfast, ships biscuits and watered down wine, again. And Scourge. Scourge is standing there, arms crossed over his chest, smiling viciously. He looks you up and down as you arrive and nods. "Ello poppets. Having fun are we? Good good. New orders today, all of you will be scrubbing this f##!ing deck till it shines. All of you mind, Rigger and Cook included. So eat up, and get to it!"
Managing to sneak close enough to the angry Scourge, Chandria quickly backs away after hearing what he's saying. He's begrudged me? Or is he talking about someone else? Forget it, this doesn't look good. I'm not taking my chances. I'll need to really watch my back from now on. The Tengu quickly backs away and heads to bed for the night.
Chandria makes not a noise nor a movement. What she heard last night has her nauseous with paranoia. She forces the water-like wine down while taking the odd peek at Scourge. I have to do something about this. I'll wait until Scourge can't hear us, then I'll talk to Linnet, or that aquatic elf. He seemed pretty resourceful...
Aquazula will nod his head in respectfully towards Scourge and will meet up between both groups, his comrades in arms and his trustees: Shivkah, Cog and Rattsberger.
Eager to get breakfast and start the day, ' What a nightmare, what could it mean? Why must I be cursed, damn the Gods and their cursid machinations.'
Aqguazula stomach will grumble.
'It has been a while since I've eaten anything. Did the officers not realise there was a brawl last night? If Scourge is this clueless it will make it all there easier when we dispose of him. '
Chandria waits until Scourge is out of earshot as she scrubs the deck. She then finds a spot between Aqguazula and Linnet, and whispers as quietly as she can, "Guys... I think Scourge.. He's going to kill me." She scrubs harder, her heart speeding up. "I heard him talking last night with a few others. Something about getting her back for what she did. I only tossed that bomb because I thought those other jerks were going to hurt us. But now, Scourge is determined to do something about it. As if the sweat box wasn't enough..." She shudders, a few black feathers falling from her arm.
Aqguazula will hear out Chandria, nodding at her concern. He whispers," Hmm, that could be worrying now."
Thinking for a moment he questions Chandria,"Are you sure he's after you? There is quite a few women on this ship and we don't know any sort of past exchanges, just keep your nose clean, eyes open. Maybe ask Sandara when you have a chance, she's been on this ship longer than we have. Although I would do almost anything to see him get punch across the deck again."
Scrubbing the deck with an extra bit of gusto making sure not to miss a spot, he looks for Shivkah. " I will see what I can do on my end for you, just don't miss any spots of, you don't want to give them a reason to beat you."
"Never too old or too young to swab the deck," he says to no on in particular. The night before had been a pleasurable experience with Tilly.
"I guess you could be right..." Some relief washes over her as she considers that she may be overreacting. Chandria had something of a paranoia complex, always thinking people were out to get her. Perhaps it was just that and Scourge had meant someone else. But did he? "I'll do as you suggested and talk to Sandara about it as soon as I can. But if this ends up being about me after all, I need to do something about Scourge before he does something about me." She puts down her scrubber for a moment. "I've seen how you can manipulate a scene when you made that one pirate look as if he'd nearly drank himself to death." She leans in to Aqguazula, speaking as quietly as possible. "Might you help me out in a... similar way, should it come to that?"
Displaying a crooked smile, Aqguazula will nod at Chandria request.
"We must do what we can to get a better place in life, if that means causing a few scenes or worse so be it." Taking into consideration what Chandria has told him." If it comes to that yes, I have plans to make him and Plugg suffer myself. I just need to the right tools."
"We can't let him get away with that! I'll help how I can. Maybe it's time for us to start sticking together more and keeping watch at night."
"I require only a little sleep, forces unknown awaken at everyturn. So I will always be up for morning watch."
Trying to put Chandria at ease,"remember how the captain disciplined Scourge? There is no way he could be that self destructive,so he probably won't risque his life so easily, eye your eyes open though."
Chandria breathes a sigh of relief, reassured by two of her shipmates. "Keeping watch is a great idea. I don't think I'll be able to sleep even if I want to. Aqguazula has a point, but maybe Scourge looking to impress the captain and will do anything he can. I can hear him now... 'See what I did to the f!@#in Chicken, cap'n?!' Ugh."
Sasha takes to her new task a little begrudgingly, but works pretty hard nonetheless.
As she is working, she keeps an eye open for Conchobar.
tucked in her belt is her newly acquired cold iron dagger.
Sasha spots Conchobhar near the Top Deck, working rope. He smiles and waves at her, but quickly returns to the task at hand. As the morning drags on, the sun beating down overhead, the ship works around the six new recruits. About mid morning, young Jack Scrimshaw darts up on deck and runs to Mister Plugg.
Plugg sighs, staring around, before his eyes fall on the new recruits. He shrugs before walking down on to the deck and towards you all. "There is something in the Brig and I don't have the people to deal with it, so you will deal with it. Go and don't dawdle!"
Aqguazula pays little attention to Jack, not caring about his plight he ventures off into the bilges. Before heading in he casts a spell on himself.
Hmm... - Bleepos thinks twice, but finally goes with the rest of the group, pretending not to be shaking.
Once she sees her friend, Sasha stops scrubbing for a moment to tuck Concobar's flask in her pants near her backside, just enough showing so it will stay put. and then returns to her work.
Sasha then makes her way scrubbing to get near Conchobar. as she scrubs she glances at him, (probably eye level) I have something for you. she then turns around to scrub and her backside is facing him, the top of the flask sticking out enough for him to see. She will even use her tail to point it out to him.
Sasha was scrubbing away, trying to make the best of things when the order came to go below and deal with a "situation"
She gathers with the others, pulling out her new dagger.
that dagger look familiar...
(+2 if Favoured Enemy)
"Don't get too close," Linnet warns the others as they head down. "Whatever's down there is a biter... and big besides."
She pulls out her crossbow and readies it before they enter. She also makes sure her mace is close, just in case she can't keep back.
Her eye is caught by the familiar-looking dagger Sasha pulls out. Is that... huh. She bets there's a story there, possibly one she won't want to know, but she means to follow up later... possibly after the visit she'd planned to the quartermaster, considering plausible deniability. At least we're all armed now.
"Probably another one of those damned spiders. Ugly things, one bit me only a day or two ago. Bloody things," Gupson says following the group down.
As soon as Aguazula's feet touch the water in the bilge, he can sense other through electroreception.
"I don't think it's spiders mate, it feels different."
"That cold iron? Looks familiar." Linnet grins. "I bet there's a story there!"
Looking back and linnet and then Sasha. "Any other familiar items you can make appear Sash?" Aqguazula looks towards Sasha.
"You see to have all sorts of magic tricks up your sleeves."
Green Rats
Bleepos
Aqguazula
Linnet
Dacota
Red Rats
Blue Rats
Sasha
Chandria
As you make your way in to the bilges, the illumination from your lights cause flecks of light to bounce off the water. Or what you think is water, till the growling begins, and the light begins to move forward slowly, in to the pool of light.
Three rats the size of dogs launch themselves forward, biting out at Aqguazula, Linnet and Bleepos.
The rat dives wide of Aqguazula, his bite thrown off by the light, but his two companions manage to get a bit of their targets, if only a little.
Looking back and linnet and then Sasha. "Any other familiar items you can make appear Sash?" Aqguazula looks towards Sasha.
"You see to have all sorts of magic tricks up your sleeves."
Sasha looks over at the fishy elf, Well I did find these pretty new earrings. she says showing them off a little
"That cold iron? Looks familiar." Linnet grins. "I bet there's a story there!"
yup, some sap left this locker open and just sitting there, I was looking for my mother's locket and found this. why, do you want it? Sasha respond offering her the dagger.
"What the Hell!" shouts Dacota as the rather large rats appear.
Aqguazula looks at Sasha,'That cunning b~~~@, her thievery may prove her worth.'
"Clever girl, do happen to have my torc? I may just need to trade you for them."
Aqguazula attacks the large rat in front of him with a reckless abandon.
