Deep Water and Shoals - A Swashbuckling Campaign

[Uriel]

Nicodemus pipes up from his position near the rail,
'And I doubt ye'll worry much about raiders now, What with this bunch o' lads aboard.'

Malthas nods. "Indeed, Master Gunner. Still, I have seen things in my travels that guns would not repel. There is magic around that will turn aside cannonballs and shot as well."

Malthas turns and aproaches Mr. Lang. "Mr. Lang, if I might have a word with you? The captain tells me that you are the one who would know about the men's melee capacities....."

Bimzoole replied to Mr. Lang, "How long have you been out of the Navy, Mr. Lang? I've found that men need not fear their officers to serve well."

 

[Tonguez]

Vemuz turns to the half orc and nods to acknowledge him.

"Aye, that I am. Would that I knew where home was! You call me 'swordfisher' though, and you recognized me before, in port. You know of my people?" Vemuz looks impressed.

"Ae Ah know youl people" the Half-Orc replies
"Ah too am fram dhe Islands, but Nor'East of youl holm. Dha Swordfishars would sahmtimes com f'Trade, sohmtimes f'War, else a Storm would blow a crew nort' an ma Mama would tend'hem afore dhey wen' holm agin."

His voice sems to become more sombre as he speaks of his Mama but he quickly blinks it away - it would not do to show weakness now!

"here see" he extends his fully tattoed right arm and down at the base of his thumb, about half-way to the wrist and almost on his palm he points to the tattoed image of a swordfish 'Swordfishar country" he grins "youl holm"

Bimzoole,

Mr. Lang looks mildly offended.

"If it is any business of yours, Mr. Marper, I have been out of the Navy for ten years. Have you ever held a commission as important as Master Gunner? I think not. The men must fear you to some degree; familiarity breeds contempt, Mr. Marper. I would take heed of this, if I were you."

Malthas,

Mr. Lang, who has just finished addressing the Master Gunner, Mr. Marper, in a mildly irritated tone of voice, turns to you.

"Yes, I am the one you want to speak to on that matter. Quite frankly, I think that they are a sorry lot - and perhaps our Master Gunner is too familiar with the tars. I notice that you carry a blade - how familiar are you with its use?"

 

[garyh]

Bimzoole takes note of Mr. Lang's opinion, and promptly sticks his tongue out at the officer once he turns his back.

ooc: anyone have a link to the thread where we posted characters? thanks.

Malthas smiles at Mr. Lang. "I am a fair hand with it. I was first in my class at the Flashing Blades Academy, and I've been known to win a duel or two. I know that the captain is not too worried about boarders, but it is my experience that things creep up on you when you least expect them. Perhaps we could alternate Mr. Marper's training with the basics of swordplay?"

Vemuz hears the half orc speak of his "mama" and his island home to the North. A rare moment of hesitation flashes before his eyes, a superstitious dread that he quickly forces away.

His sight of the tattoo is enough, however, to completely wash away any reservations. The glitter of far off gold enters his eyes. It is the look of a man who will stop at nothing and let no man get in the way of reclaiming his legacy.

<Careful now, then, Vemuz. Must watch what we say. It wouldn't do to let anyone else in on it.>

"You know where the island is, Malachi?" Vemuz utters with a countenance of dangerous covetousness completely unconcealed by the attempted facade of a casual manner.
