"This is ma fiddle and I want it back! And this stinkin' orc will pay for not givin it ta me!" Rosie spills her anger.
Well if you hold ye tongue and ask nicely I think this will get it for ye.. He offers her the 5 GP, unless ye want me to try getting that for you.
I know it's hard, but sometimes honey does work better then a stick even with those ye hate...
"I can't do that. I'll explode in her face again." Rosie replies.
Let me see what I can do. no promises and it may take a couple days, but I'll try.
"Aye now you two, we gonna lob this hog 'r what?" Jarrus says then goes on deck and lobs it.
"Gimme that hog." Besmara states and goes to fetch it.
"Well. That is kinda underwhelming." she tells looking to where the hog landed compared to Jarrus throw.
"Let me try t' save that coin from Jarrus" Rosie says and tries herself.
"Go slam yer head on a marlin spike ye pig faced butt scratchin' scurvy baboon!" she cusses as she sees her coin been gone.
Jarrus raises an eyebrow to Rosie and a slight smile emerges but he says nothing.
Lito will see if Grok is still awake/open for business.
If she is he will ask with his biggest smile:
So what would it take to liberate that Fiddle in there? I know Rosie is a foul mouthed little pain, but I think a little music would do wonders to help crew morale...
Estelle will wander up on to the deck with the rest, watching them toss the hog. She will then go over to see Owlbear, sitting down with the.
"Ye fought well old timer, ye didn't stand a chance though, blind eye and being beaten as ye are. Next time maybe ye will get me."
She touches his shoulder then goes over to the rest gathered at the rails.
"It's the same as with all of it. Whaddaya pay?" Grok asks with her most beautiful smile.
As the morning bell rings Plugg receives them as usual. "Ye go with Krine." he states and points out Trytton, Besmara, Lito, Estelle, Noonan and Jarrus. "The rest of you does their works as usual. And no slacking. I want te ship shining from keel ta crows nest."
The six are greeted by Riaris Krine. Krine’s skin is darkened from countless days on deck under the sun, and her nose has the appearance of having been broken several times over. One of her legs has been replaced with a wooden peg leg. She may be the most viletongued wench the group has ever met, and her language makes Rosie Cusswell sound like a nun.
"You are going to learn how to enter a ship today. So you lower the jolly boat while I explain to you what you'll be doing." Krine orders.
"From that jolly boat you're throwing a grappling hook at the Wormwood. You tie the rope off and climb up and enter the ship. And because that is too easy for you I'll have some of the others throw garbage at you."
As the boat is lowered Krine takes two of them with her to do the training. "Come over ye rabid, nose pickin' worthless streak O' pee! Who dasn't make 't on the ship will get six lashes"
On her turn Besmara gets on the boat. She takes up the rope with the grappling hook and once Krine says to start she throws it at the Wormwood.
As the hook hangs on to the rail she ties the rope off and starts climbing.
As she is hit on the rope she manages to hold on.
But on climbing further she loses her grip and falls into the water.
Krina takes on two trainees at a time and steers the jolly boat to a distance of 40 feet. "Now get on th' ship ye lazy useless wannabe sea dog."
Hitting the side of the ship and locking her hook on, Estelle ties off and begins her climb.
Estelle takes a piece of something to the face, falling in the water. She Swims back over to the boat and begins again.
Estelle splashes down into the water, furious with herself.
Estelle loses her grip as she dodges a piece of garbage, she fall into the water again for the 3rd time. She lets herself sink a bit becoming back up. Hate and anger in her eyes.
Once it is Trytton's turn he tosses the rope when indicated.
Hooking onto the balustrade he begins his climb.
He makes it partway up before being hit by rubbish.
He dodges the rubbish but the effort throws him off the rope.
Trytton tries again.
He dodges the first bt of rubbish on his second attempt and manages to keep climbing.
He then makes no progress.
He then gets knocked off by another handful of rubbish.
Trytton gets back into the small boat and this time, ties a bunch of knots in the rope attached to the grappling hook and throws that.
A few feet below the balustrade he takes a pile of garbage to the face and falls into the water once again
Besmara swims back to the boat.
She looks annoyed at the grinning faces of those throwing the garbage. With a sigh she starts climbing again.
This time they don't manage to throw her off and she reaches the deck. "Woohooo! I'm born ta be a pirate!" She does a small victory dance that ends in a punch to one of the guys kidneys who threw garbage at her when Krine doesn't look.
Estelle manages to hang on, glaring daggers up at the people on the ship.
Estelle's left hand slips off the rope, she manages to hang on with her feet.
And Splash
"Let's do this."
Jarrus gets almost there before some trash hits him point blank in the face and ends up in the water.
Jarrus gets up and tries again.
This time moving faster Jarrus make it all the way across.
Smiling at the guy that threw trash in his face then without warning, Jarrus shoves the pirate overboard or tries to.
Lito grabs a grappling hook and tosses it.
However he doesn't grab it well an the hook flies backwards on the backswing.
As he reels it in he thinks:
Oh boy, I better play this one for laughs.
He looks around and says: oh wrong boat.... let's just try that again.
He tosses the hook again:
But the wet rope slides through his hand and the hook bangs into the hull of the ship.
Hey, at least this time I got closer!
He tries one more time and manages to set the hook.
Hey, I did it! he sounds genially surprised.
He ties off the line and tries to climb.
Which promptly dumps him in the water.
He manages to swim back to the boat.
Krine seems to have no sense of humor. "I'm gonna knot yer legs together ye butt ugly dung diggin wiggly maggot!" she shouts at Lito. "Get up on t' boat." she points at the Wormwood.
Krine makes a mental note on the two who made it and cusses some more at the ones who didn't. "Ye fork faced panty waist puddle O' rat pee! If I I be needin' a volunteer fer shark food. You'll do ye pee soaked son of a punk alley harlot! Get out of me eyes."
"Before ye pull in the jolly. The captain wants crabs for dinner and we're passing a reef. Send them collecting I need two dozen crabs." Fishguts calls from the deck. "I'll put the crab pots here."
"You heard Fishguts. Get yer sorry asses in th' boat an' fetch some crabs. I hope ye dasn't get lost, ye incompetent bastards." Krine shouts. She climbs back on the ship to leave the group to their new job.
Jarrus moves to the edges of the ship and leans with elbows on the railings and listens to Krine and watches some of the friends he's made on the ship splash into the water. After Krine's comments when those in the water look up he just shrugs defeatidly at their plight for not being able to make it across.
Besmara climbs down in the boat. "I'll be captain of this ship. Who's going to row?"
Noonan gets into the boat and starts rowing.
Sqwak! At least you got a bath after a month
Besmara is pleased :)
Pluck circles lazily overhead.
"What a wonderful day! Out on the sea in the sun with this perfect reef. Have you seen these colourful fish? And these... what are these things growing on that?" The wards flow out of Besmara's mouth in awe.
Finally she stops looking for new exciting things of the reef but starts to actually look for crabs too and jumps in to get some.
But in between she pauses every now and then to watch these colourful wonders.
Not seeing anything Estelle swims out a bit more.
Not seeing anything Estelle swims to a different spot.
Coming back to the row boat, Estelle deposits her 4 crabs, staying in the water she swims around a bit more.
"Which of you nancies needs help?'
Jarrus climbed down into the boat thinking at least he'll be away from the crew for a bit. Once at the reef he does his part. He leaves his pistol on the boat since he'd prefer not to get the thing wet so he puts it under his seat then dives into the water.
Jarrus' head pops out the water and replies to Estelle. "Thanks fer the offer but I'm good." then drops off a crap and pops below the water again.
Besmara that colorful stuff is coral. Pretty, but be careful some of it is poison.
Then he strips down to just a shirt and shorts and jumps in the water.
Lito returns to the boat dumps in four crabs.
Then seeing the others in the water he goes back to get one more crab.
After getting the last crab he returns to the boat. Once onboard he casts Prestidigitation to quickly dry himself off and puts back on his gear. He watches the others swim for a bit then rows the boat back from where it was slightly drifting away. Unlike swimming Lito seems reasonably good at the whole rowing thing.
Noonan is in the zone.
Estelle and Noonan should be alright together. But Lito is dead if that thing gets him. Besmara thinks and swims in direction of handsome Lito.
Once she arrives she draws two daggers.
Noonan swims over to Estelle and gets his mace ready for crab cracking
Jarrus swims fast as he can to the boat since he's not much help without a weapon and the he can try get the boat to the people in the water.
