"Very well, Geoffrey. I don't like it, but H'Roosh and I will tell Cap'n Swabby to follow us at the best speed that the CrestDancer can make, and to avoid other ships and ports altogether. We don't want her to fall victim to pirates! In fact, for that very reason, I am quite reluctant to abandon the ship! Is there no way that we can maintain our present arrangements?

 

[J. Alexander]

"It is only an observation Master Gnurl based upon our opponets actions...there of course will be other solutions that I why I have asked for this meeting..so that we may discuss our options and decided on our actions, We could of course escourt the Crestdance to a safe port then make our way from there...as I have stated...all is open for discussion"

"Geoffrey, I do like your thoughts on this subject. The bloody curse we have over on heads is only going to weaken us as we battle to continue our journey, if there is a way to expedite it's conclusion, I suggest we take it. I would suggest Captain Swabby, continue with us as best he can to the first port. We can retrieve him and the ship on our way home."

Zurrik nods quietly as Radoon speaks but says nothing.

Gnurl is also uncharacteristically quiet for the moment.

 

[Scotley]

At this point the silent pondering is interrupted by shouts and the pounding of feet in the corridors as men rush topside. Something is clearly amiss. There is an urgent rap on the door of the conference room.

Gnurl perks up as his sphincter instantly tightens reflexively.

"Uh oh! Looks like bidness fixin' ta pick up!"

 

[J. Alexander]

Hearing the knock Geoffrey will say "Enter and Report"

 

[Scotley]

A young priest, an officer, enters rapidly, "Sir, we've been attacked. A flock of huge birds just swooped in and carried off 5 men, mostly those on watch in the maintops. We drove the birds off with ballista, but they've taken the men alive and flown north."

 

[J. Alexander]

"By the Light" Geoffrey says.."This is most foul indeed"..turning to address the priest he says "We will be on deck in a moment...have the ship altar course to follow the birds.....and send the order to rig netting above the look outs so that they have some protection"
