[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7527474, member: 2012"] [b]The Ishtar Saves the Day?[/b] It takes nearly two weeks for the ship to become truly seaworthy again. The cay has just enough trees to make repairs of the worst damage, but The Ishtar will need considerable work to be able to make the planned journey to the Isle of Dread. Salisan tells his companions that the ship could need a month of refits just to be able to make it to the lands of the Far South. “You might need to consider holding off for this season,” Salisan tells Dabuk as they stand on the prow of the ship. “I know you don't want to hear that but I can't guarantee we will be able to get this ship there in one piece and then back again.” Dabuk sighs. He knows this Ogrebane obsession of his might get them all killed. He had hoped that finding a way to these fabled Fallenlands would go smoother. Could one weapon really be worth risking all their lives? He looks at his cousins and his sister. Bactra and Teal continued to argue about her place on the ship, and her spending too much time around the sailors. He watches as Bactra insists she spend more time with Nansea and less time on deck. He also notes the look on Teal's face and shakes his head. Bactra didn't see it or wouldn't. Teal pretends to relent with anger and storms off to Nansea's room. “We have to make this work, Sal,” Dabuk replies. “This trip is changing us all, and it can't be for nothing.” “Sir!” A sailor yells from the crows nest. “There's ships on the horizon!” “Are they heading towards us?” Salisan asks. “I don't think so, sir, but I can't be certain.” “How many, Mr. Jibbs?” “I count at least two, no, wait,” the man scans the waters ahead. “There's at least five of them, sir. Salisan pulls out his spyglass and looks toward the man is pointing. He clearly sees two ships running for the coast. The other ships are pursuing. There are four of them and their masts stand out in the waters. The lead pursing ship flies a black flag, and Salisan is sure the others with it will show the same colors. “Damn it,” Salisan says quietly. Only Dabuk hears him, “We don't need this right now.” “Pirates, right?” “Yes.” “Of course, like out luck isn't already bad,” the ranger says. “Do we really have to get involved?” “If we don't help, The Ishtar could be branded a pirate ship itself,” Salisan replies. He raises his voice so the crew can hear. “Pirates attacking ahead! Prepare to help fend them off and repel boarders!” The crew rushes to do their captain's bidding while Dabuk and the others set themselves for the battle ahead. * * * [/QUOTE]
