Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[Lou]

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

Gnurl grins as Mig snifs first his feet, and then his pockets. "Ahh! What have you found, Mig?" he says reaching in his pocket and pulling out a rather large strip of bacon that he stole from under the Galley Mistress's nose. "Here, Mig, tell ya what, I'll split my snack with you! So saying, Gnurl tears the bacon in half. Mig very gently opens his mouth and gingerly takes his half of the bacon from Gnurl's hand.

Sorry, did you mean that you sleep well under normal circumstances, or that you know how to signal a ship under normal circumstances? Because I'm sure there are signal lanterns nearby."

Grinning, Mingo replies, "Signalling. I know ship-to-ship signalling. And I learned to sleep on board ship years ago. But signal lanterns will not likely reach another ship in this fog."

OOC: Mig is a female.

Grinning, Mingo replies, "Signalling. I know ship-to-ship signalling. And I learned to sleep on board ship years ago. But signal lanterns will not likely reach another ship in this fog."

"Ahh, yes, right again, Madam! Dare we risk, would you suppose, a ring of the ship's bell, at such a time? I would tend to think not. No. But I'm sure that Captain Geoffrey will turn up shortly. That's a fine animal you have there! Almost as cute as my Featherwind! Aside to Featherwind: Owww! Hey! I said ALMOST, give me a break!! You know you're my bestest girl! And I said BREAK not BEAK."

Resolution

As the morning breaks to a foggy sky and surrondings, Geoffrey will lead the crew in morning devotions. After devotions, the crew will arm and stand to general quarters as the ship's bell rings 8:00 am. Checking on the position of the "Rumpled Bedsheet" which should be moored within a few yards Geoffrey will call for his boat and make the short journey to the Sheet.

OCC - Just got back from seeing "No Country For Old Men - great film, unexpected ending.

IC - I actually want to meet with my crew first and tell them of our plans and then sail over to Geoffry's ship and tie next to it and meet with both parties on all the details. The fog actually might help us arrive on shore without being noticed.

"Mornin' Cap'n Radoon! Here are myself, Featherwind, Mingo, Anson, and Mig, we're ready to begin, Sir! I trust that you've seen Marienna since I have, and H'Roosh, well, he's got to be close by, doesn't he? Shall we move forward with our preparations?"

 

[J. Alexander]

Resolution

Calling for his boat in order to make the short journey to the "Sheet" Geoffrey becomes distracted by a personal concern and his depatured is delayed as he hasten's to his quarters. The crew of the "Radiant Sun" begin to place white sand on the main deck and ready the ship's weapons. The ship's laterns have been refilled and have been lite as well additional fog cutter laterns strung about the ship (ten to each side).

OCC: I revised Geoffrey actions so Radoon could go ahead with his course of action.

 

[Scotley]

Those on the deck see bright fog lanterns lit up startlingly close as the Radiant Sun comes into view only a few feet away. Men can be seen preparing the ship for war. At a call from Terry a gangway is put across to the 'Sun. Terry raises his mug to an officer on the opposite ship who also looks like he might have more than the standard ration of grog last night.

OOC: I've lost track of the date, but I'll try to figure it tomorrow.

 

[Scotley]

The Attack

Suddenly out of the fog thousands of the worst undead attack, their icy claws sinking deep into crew and character alike...

OOC: Ah hell, its a holiday, I guess I'll give you a break. No undead today. Happy Thanksgiving all! I should be posting more or less normally tomorrow.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

H'Roosh

H'Roosh will rise early and move to the deck, where he'll perform his morning meditations. He's there and ready for the meeting at the appointed time.

"Avast there, Mates!" We don't want these two vessels colliding! Can we keep a decent interval of space between them to allow for the action of wind, wave, and sail, PLEASE?"

OOC: Gnurl's no sailor, so maybe the ships are safe after all, but their proximity is more than enough to cause the little fellow some serious alarm.
