Roleplay - That evening(3rd Person Perspective):

A solid thud resounds as the solid oaken door of the Formidably Maid slams against the wall, it’s salt-rusted hinges doing little to slow it’s attacker. A hulking frame barrels into the room, silhouetted by the last rays of a dying day. As the immense, hunched form forces it’s way through a doorframe built for fairer races, a bone laden necklace catches on the wooden wall. The sudden arrestation of the jewellery causes a snap and small bones are sent scattering before the beast. The sound of bone crunching underfoot joins his cacophonous entry, but he either doesn’t notice or doesn’t care, instead stalking straight to the bar.

“Food. Ale.” The guttural words seem strained and disjointed, like words read for the first time by a child. They are pitched straight over the counter at the bartender, who looks sharply around for patrons who might trade some heavy combat for a heavier bar-tab. None seem too keen.

“Ayelh!”, the end of the word trailing into a low rumbling snarl. The giant orc too begins to turn and look at the others in the room, and spots a small Halfling with a freshly poured pitcher of ale held between two hands. The orc marches at him with a purposeful look in his eye, reaches down and seizes the glass. As he brings it to his mouth, the Halfling – his own hands locked between palm and pitcher – is dragged from the ground and hangs limply, the colour drained from his face. In on consolidated effort the orc finishes the drink and drops it to the ground, Halfling and all.

For the briefest moments the room is totally silent. Then the chairs creak against wooden floorboards as the Halflings friends begin to stand and reach for weapons. Before they get far, they are again frozen in shock. Reaching into his belt pocket, the Orc takes 2 gold coins and drops them at the halfling’s feet.

“Pay.” Taking two strides to an (suddenly) unoccupied seat, the orc opens his mouth to grunt out the last words heard of him that evening. “Food. Ale.”


That evening (Snarl Perspective):

"Hunger. Snarl Get Food. Get lots food. Get drink. Get many lots drink. Getted gold, don't need gold. Needed food. Lots food."

Snarl pushed at the door before him and it yielded easily to him. As he tried to fit through the frame, he felt the course wood press against his neck and back, leaving small splinters in his skin. Not a memorable pain, but enough to annoy him.

"Fleshache? Not burn. Fine.... Hunger. Get food."

He strode to the "Foodget" place and asked for food and drink. The Foodgetman didn't seem to respond. Snarl began to get confused.

"Foodgetman. No foodgetman? Drinkgetman?"

Snarl noticed the man before him looking elsewhere. He followed his gaze and saw the small man with the ale.

"Ah! Foodgetman!" It didn't make sense to Snarl why the barman wasn't behind the bar and was so tiny, but that was vastly less important than quenching his damnable thirst.

Having finished his drink, Snarl took a seat and waiting for his food. For some reason though, his thoughts seemed a bit blurry.

"Drink getted. Need more drink. Need food. Need... food... Need".

Darkness engulfed him.


I don' t know if I've quite worked out Snarl's "Voice" yet. I've never really played a primal, chaotic character like this before. Eh, either way, there's my role-play samples.

Good luck to everyone.

Yeah. You could always use the Little Jack method of getting rejected from an S&S game. Get your friend to create another one with blackjack and hookers!

I am incredibly glad to have been rejected for that game. I was really excited for the GM and some of the applicants, but did you see that hobgoblin character? I dodged a huge bullet. It's like a chimpanzee was given a keyboard and a character sheet.

To be fair, if you're referring to me, all I did was complete my submission, the crunch and fluff, minus the background and rp samples was posted earlier in the thread.

Does your character, who is likely a pirate, give half a crap if there's a prostitute on board?

I'd say that a pirate give way more than half a crap if there's a prostitute on board.

Usually half their earnings.

The Exchange

Double zing...

Astrid should be in this game.


She'd likely end up very wealthy aboard the vessel.
50% of a single crewman's earned loot, that amounts to one very wealthy prostitute. Likely wealthy enough to start her own establishments with all the luxury she'd want once they dock back at dry land.

... Really? I must have missed it somehow the first time. I'm going to go back through the thread to make sure I didn't miss anyone else.


I think I know who I'm going to pick, but I'm still going to hold off until 3 just in case any late submissions/completions change my mind.


Sharissa is watching with eager, predatory eyes.


The suspense is killing me...hopefully not anyone else. Too quickly. *sharpens razor*

Well, that all depends on the captain's cut, now doesn't it. Because the house always gets theirs.


Fair enough, but she'd still be wealthy provided there's plenty of looting.


Alright, here we go. See, I couldn't decide on just three. So this has turned into a five-person game now. I'm spoilering each accepted character individually for suspense!

Spoiler:



Thank you so much to everyone who applied! I really wish I could have taken everyone I wanted, but I'm excited to roll with this party. Good luck!


Gl to the winners.


Genuinely disappointed - and good luck to the chosen ones.

And just to show there's no hard feelings (well there are some - I'm only human).

Why are pirates called pirates?:

They just arrrrrr....

The Exchange

Very disappointed. Especially because Iogorian got in and he might fall in our other game, opening the door for cultists to come slice my poor Pollux's head off. If events unfold that way, then I will be slighted twice by you Norv... *narrows eyes*


Looks like a great crew! Congrats and have fun!


Congrats to all who made it. Back into the shadows with this one.

Grand Lodge

Always sad when I put that much work in and get nothing, but grats to those who did.


There's enough quality applicants in this thread for two over-full parties, so its your own fault! If you'd only submitted bad concepts instead of awesome ones, this would have been so much easier for Rorrix. For shame!

Congrats to those who got in, and the best of luck in future games to the rest of the great submissions we received!


Too bad...
Have fun and plunder for us too...


Thanks! Bad luck those who missed out. There really were some amazing submissions.


There were a TON of great submissions! Thanks to Rorrix, and everyone who submitted!

Totally didn't realize that was you, Uncle Taco--I'm terrible at connecting names to aliases! Hopefully I don't get bushwhacked over in WotR... :P


Congrats to all :D
