[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7351386, member: 6777052"] Daybreak on the quayside found …… seagulls wheeling above a crowd of disreputable-looking sailors eager to sign on as crew of the Phase Rider and all vouching for each other's trustworthiness and reliability. Captain Jeli, looking truly resplendent in an illusionary costume with a tricorn hat and a tunic with an awful lot of gold braid around the shoulders, amplified her voice with the aid of a cantrip and addressed them: "Men, I thank you all for coming and for volunteering your services.

A cheer went up and the pirates eagerly swarmed up the gangplank onto the deck of the Phase Rider. Fluttering from the masthead was a new black flag that would one day come to be feared on the eighty-nine seas of the world. The flag showed an open thesaurus above crossed [i]blades, foils, rapiers, sabres, scimitars, katanas, [u]cutlasses[/u][/i] and was known as the Jeli Roget. As they weighed anchor and left port, Ensign Od remarked to Ensign Sam "Keep watch for mermaids riding pink narwhals - I've a feeling we will be meeting them quite soon." "Anything you say, dear," she replied, wondering what to do with the ship's anchor and thinking she might hide it in a suitable barrel. Around six bells of the forenoon watch, scudding before a brisk sou'wester, the ship suddenly ... [/QUOTE]
