Bukis looks at Estian when he makes the comment about going after the queen. "Agree, but need plan. Else is dangerous." But he does have his Scythe at the ready, just in case.

Bukis looks at the dragon as if he's expecting it to turn on them, either that or he's trying to figure out how to turn it into a meal. However he won't antagonize it as he realizes that, for whatever reason, others like him. He will spend the down time they currently have trying to ingratiate himself to the former slaves as they continue to do odd jobs around the ship.
That night, at the end of dinner, when everyone is sated and sleepy, Bukis walks up to their leader. "What next? Still trapped" He says simply as he stands there waiting for an answer.
Bukis takes advantage of Maia's distraction, swinging his scythe for a deadly attack. "Laugh now."
Drawing his scythe Bukis moves to the edge of the water, ready to jump in if necessary and smiling (hopefully it's a smile, it's hard to tell with those broken tusks) at the thought of getting to trade blows with something that won't teleport away.
To his great relief, Lilli seems to be quite steady on her feet, once she is able to convince the big guy to put her down. "Devilfish. Octopus. Same?" He starts looking in the water for any strange looking sea creature.
During the trek Bukis moves close to Lilly, "Sorry." he says simply, "You okay?" He continues to stay close to her during the journey, ready to help her in case she shows signs of being tired or weak.
Moving over the rough ground is frustrating under any circumstances, trying to do so while you are allowing your rage to control you instead of the opposite is an exercise in madness. is the closest approximation of the sound that comes out of his mouth as he moves as fast as he can toward the Twigjack, swinging his scythe at anything he can along the way.
Turning towards their Captain, Bukis yells out his fear and frustration. He then seems to actually gain muscular mass as his shrink to pinpoints and he focuses his rage on the creature.
"You diplomate. Me? Violence." He has his scythe in hand as he says this.
Bukis watches the horizon, trying to figure out where they might lay such a trap, or if there is any evidence that there is an octopus out there somewhere.
Bukis sighs as he realizes that, despite his warnings, everyone is enamored by the little beast and completely willing to help it out despite having no idea of how to. "Octopus big?" He asks, trying to get some concrete information.
Bukis distrustfully eyes the dragon, still not sure if he should attack it or not. However, at this moment it hasn't given any reason to attack it and he is aware that such an action would have quite a negative reaction from the ladies in the group. "Dragons tricky." He says as a warning to the rest of the group.
Bukis watches without rising in the boat but keeps a wary out, hand close to, but not touching, his weapon. It is a dragon after all and rumors abound about how they can shape shift and maybe this one has shape shifted into a small dragon.
Bukis looks at him, not bothering to answer a question that the man already knows the answer to.
Climb:
"Not fighters. Had magic. Gozreh protect." He slips an arm comfortably around her shoulder as they look out on the ocean, trying to figure out what it is that Lightfoot has seen.
"S'Okay. Nice name." He says and starts to smile when he remembers that he doesn't want to scare her. "Teach maybe sometime?"
Gently pushing the morning star away from his arm Bukis looks to see if he can see what Lightfoot has noticed, climbing up to the lookout if necessary.
Bukis is more than happy to stay on the ship for a few days, get some more physical labor in, impress the crew with his strength. Oh, wait Maia wants him to help her be diplomatic? Bukis just stops himself from laughing outloud at that thought and goes with her.
Bukis sees that his weapon did nothing against the wraith, just as he expected for he remembers being told that at sometime in the past. Unfortunately he doesn't remember anything else about undead, all he knows is to keep it away from Lilly. "Don't want skinny. Want meaty." He says, trying to keep it focused on him. Slashing Attack:
This time Bukis stands in a position to stop anyone from entering the room before he can. As he sees the wraith he lets out a "Grff" of frustration as he realizes that his weapon is not going to be the most effective. However, he has a job to do and he steps in to do it. Piercing Attack:
Bukis stands back, allowing Lilly the opportunity to pray and go through the rituals that make it easier for a soul to move toward Pharasma but not too far back because these are skeletons after all. When they do attack Bukis goes into attack mode, pulling out his scythe and swinging it, growling in frustration at because he knew that the skeletons were going to attack and he allowed Lilly to separate herself from him and also because he knows that his weapon isn't the most effective against skeletons. Slashing Attack:
As his head clears Bukis darkens in embarrassment realizing that the confusion was on his side of the conversation and that he attacked one of his allies. "Sorry. " He mumbles to Estian, unable to look him in the eye. Next he turns to Maia. "Better now." He says as he maintains a tight grip on his scythe and looks around warily.
Confusion Round Two:
Between the panic and the lack of understanding Bukis loses control and swings his scythe at the nearest person. Attack:
"Farfle make barfly sitting. Armies you and pattern. " Bukis says as a way of explaining what he is feeling inside his head.
Will Save:
Bukis turns back to the door after warning the group. "Mumford marmalade the roflol. Boots and kittens have lunch green." He responds to Estian and Lilly then goes out the door.
Following Lilly as she enters the hut Bukis watches as the magic sensitive ones start searching the hut. "Footsteps!" He hisses loudly as he pulls his weapon out and moves to intercept whoever or whatever is heading their way. Perception not searching:
Bukis follows Lilly around trying hard not to interfere in her attempts to influence the other crew members. After she is done he starts to help on the mast. "My turn. You stay close." He says to Lilly, reminding her that Maia didn't want any of them alone. Realizing that his muscles could be more impressive than his talking Bukis doesn't ask if they need his help he just gets in there and helps.
"Spent time sailing. Not good talking nice." Bukis says as a way of replying to her question. He looks down as his cheeks darken in color, a Half-Orc blushing is an odd sight to behold.
"Mast, Sahuagin, hermit?" Bukis asks Maia as he finally sits and takes a seaweed cake, unconsciously mimicing Estian.
I am on my phone. I have no internet please bot me as necessary.
Unsure of what to do or how to act Bukis looks around nervously to see if they have any weapons. "If I'm wrong" he thinks to himself "and these two are who they claim to be then I need to reconsider things. But if they're just two oldsters playing around they could be dangerous." Yes, inside Bukis is quite the conversationalist out loud his only response is to look at Maia and ask. "Do what?"
Never having much interest in the Gods the reference almost goes right past Bukis, but something about what the woman says hits a memory of the red-skinned cleric who helped raise him. "Gozreh?" He asks Lilly trying to be quiet in case not being sure upsets the woman.
Bukis moves up to the crab and tries to pierce through its crunchy outer shell with his scythe.
Hearing the voice and Estin's opinion of what they may be facing Bukis nods his head and gives a "grff" of agreement. Looking in the direction indicated by the 'mother' he points toward the mast with his weapon. "Start there?"
Bukis hears the voice and instantly starts looking around for the source, as soon as he spots the gap and the movement within it he points it out to Maia. "There. Someone's inside."
He grins back at her, not a comforting sight, and sighs at her question. "Keep self from trouble? No. So, my job." With that Bukis audibly clamps his mouth shut, the poor man had said more already this morning than he had the entire previous day.
When Maia accepts the nomination and no one else calls out a different name Bukis drops to one knee. With his right hand clenched into a fist he places it over his heart as he holds his weapon in his other hand. He looks up at Maia, holding her eyes with his gaze. "My weapon you command. You lead I follow. You command I obey." Having said his piece Bukis stands and moves to stand next to Lilly whispering to her as he does. "You I protect."
Looking around at the large amounts of wood Bukis only half hears what is being said about someone being a Captain, it wouldn't be him, he knows he is to hot-headed to have that type of responsibility, to straightforward in his solutions. But when he hears Lilly nominate Maia he starts to listen and when Maia gives her acceptance speech he knows that she would make a good Captain. Moving over to stand next to her and making sure that Lilly is there as well he pulls out his scythe before throwing his support her way. "I agree. Maia should be Captain. "
Bukis volunteers for first watch, he is still keyed up from the combat and he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. During the night he walks restlessly trying to keep an eye on the others in the group as well as the surrounding area. Once his turn at watch is over he wakes the next person and gets what rest he can. His main concern is for those who helped keep the ship going during the storm and fight the Sahaugin. The others he doesn't trust, feeling their only concern is for themselves and not the group as a whole. Keeping Watch: In the morning he surveys the scenery better than he could the night before. "Enough wood. Repairs then explore?" He asks this of whomever else is awake but will give everyone a chance to voice an opinion before a decision is reached.
Holding himself together and trying to ignore the blood leaking from his body Bukis flashes a grateful smile at Maia, the broken tusks don't add much to his intentions.
With Estian faring no better in his attacks Bukis knows he has no choice but to ignore his grievous wound and continue his own attacks. He does, however, call out his need for healing. "Heal!" Att:
Seeing Estian hit hard moves Bukis into action, he has no idea of who this person is but so far has been impressed by his willingness to jump in and fight as well as his continuing to stay in battle after taking a hit that would put many on the ground. Moving up towards the creature Bukis takes a strike with his Scythe. Sadly his enthusiasm does not translate into a hit as Bukis' wild swing almost results in his dropping his weapon.
When Maia calls out the danger of the approaching storm it takes a moment for Bukis to respond, so focused on the rats he is. It takes someone else getting up and moving for him to realize the danger but once he does he quickly moves into action. Moving over to the remaining prisoner Bukis picks him up and helps get him out of the elements.
"Inside now!" He calls out to make sure everyone is aware of what is happening.
Bukis moves to where the screams are coming from only to see a swarm of rats coming from the hold, "Behind me." he says to Maia and then he sees the amount of rats coming towards. Looking at his weapon and then looking again at the swarm Bukis makes a quick decision. "Magic for rats?", he asks Maia as he watches them come towards him and his new ally.
Bukis had given thought to getting rid of the contract and hoping that would appeased the imp, but seeing the little creature injured inspires Bukis to attack once again.
Getting hit by the imp's sting only serves to infuriate Bukis. He swings his scythe about wildly hoping to hit the small creature.
Not getting away!" Bukis exclaims as he swings his scythe through the air where he hopes the imp has gone. Unfortunately the little beast moved in a way he didn't expect and Bukis only hit some dust motes floating in the air. Then with a quick glance toward Estian he tries to get him to do something useful. "Contract, find it."
