Akryat's page

Akryat raises what would be an eyebrow Course I am, Miss Devis violent and intimidating and well, What else would ya want in a women he says as he takes another swig. Makes sense considering general goblinoid standards of attractiveness. Buchanan and Devis and most of the crew is still on the Albatross's Lover, our ship. We were selling off a prize we took, and were going to sail back to our terratory in the Stormshores to meed up with them. Stormshores is the name of the island chains in the stormy seas that are rife with pirates and monsters

Aye cap'n. We'll remember what yea've done for us Akryat tells you, with a toothy smirk. He stands up and shouts across the deck, Alright yea skurvy swabs, you heard the Bird-Man! Get us underway, we make for the Port of Shakrags! So lets get this damn dingy movin eh? get ourselves out o' these nice folk's hair.

There is a resounding cheer from his crew. Apparently they are rather fond of Shakrags, but not boving fast enough for the Hobgoblin Did I say stand around grinnin like idiots, or get a move on? Now GET A MOVE ON and the crew of pirates start working the rigging to pull a little more speed out of the Wyr'enshaad.

Well you got us under control, but I don't know about Old Tavian's crew he adds, pointing out the Bosun as well as glancing at the pilot, as the drow have already shuffled off.

Sorry for not getting that reply out to you Goandi.
Akryat tells Goandi, The "Demon-girl" yer talking about is a Tiefling gal, you know horns, tail, the whole deal. She's Cap'n Buchanan's Master-at-arms, and a sadistic cut-throat b*@@#. Terror o' the seas, one of the only folks near scary as Buchanan himself. he's got a lusty look in his eye that fades. She's gonna rip me up for gettin nicked by them black-ears, oh man. Best celebrate my freedom in Shakrats while I got a chance

you heard your priestess. I'm bound by the code, and Buchanan, my cap'n'd skin me alive if I broke parlay to appease the Dread Lady and Nanna Sati, the Wolf-Seer, wouldn't let me out o' line anyway. Sommat about destiny an crap. Akryat is clearly a Sea-reaver. Chaotic follower of a violent pirate god, the tengu have heard stories of settlements whipped out by reavers, and seeing the pirates fight lends truth to the rumor. But his captain seems to feat this Dread Lady goddess. Hezala would be the most forthcoming.

As for port, there's an island I Say can navigate us to, a free-port where we can likely meet him or at get a ship.

as for the Drow, my interrogation methods are messy, and loud. But effective you catch a sadistic glint in his eye as he smiles at you.

Desula
He glares at you, and snatches the wineskin, taking a long swig, sitting in silence for a moment, feeling the wine in his belly. cowardly bastards could see in the dark and jumped us. Simple as that. We'd just sold off a ship and were gonna hitch a ride wit some mates ta get back to our territory. Simple as that. I was fixin'a get some information bout that, but I dunno if yer bird boss man would tolerate my preferred methods. akryat is angry, but deflated and resigned, fuming below the surface.

His attitude toward you doesn't seem to be slipping further, considering your Drow and caught against his crew.

Aye, we have an accord then. the hobgoblin says, handing goandi the Scimitar, shaking Goandi's hand, and then taking the Cutlass, as a symbolic gesture, being totally unarmed for a moment, giving Hezala a look to kill the whole time.

one of the two ratfolk with the enemy crew rushes up to victor, Howzitgoin' Cuz? watchatalkinbout wi'saltin corpses? he asks Victor with great interest. The other rat following close behind shaking his head.

Desula after the accord
To Desula, Akryat says, Ideally I'd like to meet up with my captain, but as your Witch there said, I parlayed and stated my terms. So we go where the conniving bird wants. Akryat says still glaring at Hezala.

Thoyoitu and whomever
So cap'n Tenguin, Could this humble crewman kindly request that you set a course for our Captain and ship would be sailing? Just so we could rejoin our crew after our imprisonment, or do you have another destination in mind?

Akryat looks at Pyre and nods, but then glances back and forth between him and the Tenguin. Clearly he's taking stock of the situation, his crew of nine including himself, Rats cut up, an orc severely injured, versus three Drow still clinging to consciousness, the tattooed Bosun, and uncouth woman. He looks over the Party, a tough looking Lizard with a Greataxe, an opposing rat, the hob and his wolf, and finally a small army of Tengu. Te Pilot sails on, knowing that if she tries to come about, the Hob’ll cut her down and fix the wheel to keep the captain from catching up.

Akryat sees boys, although clearly shaken by Desula's speach, all getting ready to fight bless their black-hearts, then he stares down Thoyoitu, giving him a slow-clap, scimitar in hand. Well, well, well, nice trick there, Mister Living-Legend. I see what ya did there. Waitin out the fight till the captain were gone and we were worn out afore takin the ship. Clever, real clever, like a dagger in the back. Ya say yea don’t want no more blood let. Only way that happens… His fist tightens around the scimitar, and he looks into the distance at the lifeboat bobbing in the water, We sail on, right now, full speed.

Pyre, you're not sure about him, but it looks like he'd order his boys down if you keep sailing, sounds like the truth considering the odds, but he's clearly ready to strike at a moment's notice and he's REAL quick on the drew.

The previously silent little woman pipes up, He’s right. If Tavian or the Butcher get back on board we’ll be killed for sure. We threw him off his boat, and he’s a shark in frenzy right now. They’ll make it to an island, there’s tons of them around here, don’t you worry. We’ll stand down she says taking a queue from her leader, if yea keep sailing on. Promise. Right boys?

There is a general nod of agreement among the Pirate Prisoners. Looking over the Pirates, they're anxious and poised. You realize you're dealing with people with nothing to loose. Captain gets on board they're dead, so you either sail on or they'll fight for their lives like cornered animals, and fight to the last, and do some SERIOUS damage.

Akryat the Hobgoblin lets out a hearty chear, echoed by the Orks and Rats that can be heard below deck. Alrght boys and girls, line em all up! Everybody on deck Ya hear?[ he shouts. Turning to the pilot he says, Good call little missy, manning the helm like a good little girl. Glad I didn't hafta gut ya

Desula
The remaining Drow drop their weapons and the Tattooed human crewman all get in a line. You too Halfbreed the wolf-snouted woman snarles at Desula as she rubs her temple from the spell he hit her with. the other pirates all reach for fallen weapons, properly arming themselves

Pyre
Well what's it gonna be Lizard man? Akryat asks, walking up to you. Yer Clearly not for the Drow and Nanna Sati agreed that we wouldn't kill anyone that laid down arms, but you still got yours, makin me not so certain what your angle is huh?

Below Deck with Goandi and Victor
That sounded like Cody cheering and Akryat's givin' out orders. Good for us, bad for the Drow. So what's it gonna be at this point boys? Tavis Fink asks. Best we all be getting up on deck and fall inta line.

Thoyoitu
what are you and the Tengu going to do at this point as te fight seems over, and the Hobgoblin is calling everybody to line up?
