Ship name ideas:
____ I think we should cut out the distractions and head to the fortress and see what's what there.
Rush shouts from across the deck, peg-leg tapping as he comes over to join the conversation. Come now, Rickety. A risk? There is no risk. Look at the sails. The figure head. All the spare lumber. You could refit any ship in the waters with those and none-the-wiser. This ship would be an investment for future business. And if we had the money, we could put our crew ashore and let them spend their share right here.
Rush contemplates heading back to Rickety's, again. Seems like every time we try to sail somewhere, we find some reason to head back to the refitter. But concern isn't in his eyes, the joy of sailing is.
Rush studies the items for magic and tries to figure out what they do.
Responding to Tap, I was talking about the slaves themselves, Captain. Some of them may not have lives to go back to.
Rush whispers to the Captain, Think we might offer for any who wish to join the crew? We're still a little low on hands, Captain.
WOLF
_____ Rush moves up to the railing and looks for the strongest, least afraid slave that's chained up.
Once he sights whichever one he thinks is best, he casts a spell on them.
Oh, don't worry. I will continue to forget that for all time.
Rush, from over by the wheel, sees Jack bravely leap into the fray in a counter-boarding action, a one man army, a man on a (suicide) mission, and decides he could use a little help. Taking a small step closer, Rush summons the spirit of a great hunter from the beyond, and a celestial wolf appears: Wolf The wolf has but one command, kill the clones.... It attacks....
... all on the pirate next to the wolf but not in front of Jack.
If so...:
Probably not so much with that, even if you'd allow it. Either way.....
Rush wants to skirt their ram, just enough to shove them off to the side but let their ram sink into the wood.
Rush would sail on, moving ever closer to the opposing ship, shouting out, Be prepared to fire once they're in range!
Aye Captain! Rush spins the wheel, setting up a straight collision course with their new friends. All hands brace for impact and prepare to board!
You can tell after a bit of pursuit that the ship was originally running, but has slowed and is now looking to turn about.
Sound general quarters! All crew have weapons ready at hand!
Rush looks over at the captain from the wheel, Orders, Captain? Engage or avoid?
Mawwige. Mawwige is what bwings us togewther, here, today. Let's do it.
Of course Cap'n. Rush takes off the hat and hands it over. He then begins lowering the rope/net into the water. Everything going smoothly down there?
Rush drops the rope he was working on, barely catching Tap's hat as he dives into the water. Rush looks after him with a confused expression, looks around the ship, notices nothing (with his +2 Perception), shrugs his shoulders, puts the captains hat on his head, picks up the rope and keeps weaving it into a net.
Aye, Captain. I'm always happiest standing on deck.
Up top, Rush has begun getting rope ready to haul up anything the scavenging crew may find.
Rush will pull out the Wand of Air Bubble and tap anyone who wants to go down. Rush himself will only go with if the Captain tells him to.
Rush has his summon spells, so he could conjure up something to send down there to look for us. He also has ant haul for pulling things up if we get a rope around it. He also is holding: 1) Potion of Touch of the Sea, 2) Fully charged wand of Air Bubble, 3) Two scrolls of Air Bubble.
Remind me Captain, if you would. What is our goal here?
Rush looks over at the wreck, opening his mouth to answer before seeing it has almost completely submerged. He closes his mouth, turns around, says Never mind, Cap'n.
Rush comes to the table with some of his own reports. Only superficial wounds, Captain. Nothing that won't heal up on their own with some rest. At the hint about weather, his eyes cloud over (pun intended) and he tells the group...... .... about the upcoming weather over the next 24 hours. About returning to Ricketty's, No objections, Captain. Place is becoming like a second home, almost. And we seem to have had improper amount of good luck with recruiting crew there. Should we tow the wreck behind us to salvage parts or let her sink?
A quick search of the new ship seems in order. See what she's got in her hold. And what we can learn from the captain's quarters.
Rush withdraws his comment to the captain in light of these new found 'volunteers'.
Create water (at Rush's level) reaches out 35 feet. Would that be enough?
Rush will continue to fight the flames with his magic, but seeks out Captain Tap when he gets the chance. Rush speaks in a low voice, Not to question your orders Captain, but how are we to pilot a second ship when we barely have enough crew for the first one? Are we going to tow it the entire time?
Rush ends his invisibility, starts spraying water from his finger tips 10 gallons every 6 seconds (create water), and responds to Jack. I can fix almost any damage with the right spell, but I can't replace things that are destroyed. A crack, yes. A hole, no.
Rush continues his ministrations on Jack. Casting Cure Moderate Wounds again.
It'll take a few hours, but Rush can repair the damage on the ship with Make Whole.
With a series of 5 foot steps, Rush and his elemental are in place. ---Elemental---
---Rush---
Elemental's attack of opportunity.
Rush moves up behind Jack (double move) to cover his back and heal him next round.
Rush breaths deeply as he successfully maneuvers the ship into a grapple, this battle marking his first time piloting a ship in combat. Feeling secure in his invisibility, he summons up a helper to fight, whispering as he does so, Right, you've had your break. Now it is time to serve again. Rush summons up a small lightning elemental on the opposing ship and sends it crashing into their crew.
It brings its static-y arms down towards the opposing captain and misses greatly.
Rush tries to line up and slow down for a quick and easy boarding action as the crossbow bolt whizzes past him and sticks quivering into the planks behind him.
Aye, Captain. I'm sure I've thrown them off with that maneuver.
Hard To:
........I don't think Rush's mind is on the task.
Rush prepares to cast Summon Monster 2, completing it next turn.
