[LPF] Tower of the Black Pearl (DM: Deuce Traveler)

[Grayn]

Thuk sits in the back of the skiff. He listens to the others grumble about the condition of the boat, but he's seen and been on worse.

The tower comes into view. "As many times as I've traveled these waters, how did I miss this structure?" Thuk asks no one in particular. But, the tower is not what holds his attention. Its the longboat made off to the tower. He figures its the pirate's boat before the Corporal states the same.

He rolls onto the seawall following Cid and Garadh. As he straightens his gear, he looks back at the empty longboat, listening for the Corporals answer to Cid's question.

"We might want to check out their boat. See if anyones there."

 

[Khisanth the Ancient]

Garadh nods to Thuk. “Yes, I think we should check it out.” He pulls himself up onto the balcony and walks toward the longboat, gesturing for the others to follow.

Garadh approaches the longboat cautiously, looking and listening for any surprises.

 

[Red Knight]

Cid, in anticipation of trouble, draws a kukri and a chakram as he watches the enemy longboat closely, noting every movement.

[Deuce Traveler]

Cid and Garadh signal for the corporal to move the boat closer, deciding to check things out before moving in. And it is a good thing, too. Cid notices the remnants of an apple core at the bottom of the boat, and from the fresh look of it someone had recently finished their snack. Alerted by this, Garadh lifts himself up partway to the balcony, just enough to peer over the lip of the balcony wall.

Laying nearby are three nearly asleep pirates with a couple of mini-kegs in between them. Although you're approach has not alerted them yet, they are lying in between you and the door into the tower. The balcony is thin, and there will not be enough room for two fighting men to stand abreast of each other.

[Khisanth the Ancient]

Garadh lowers himself (quietly) back into the boat and puts a finger to his lips.

He says softly to the others, "There are pirates on the other side of the balcony. They look pretty drunk -- but I don't think we have room to stand on the balcony and fight, if they turn out to be more awake than they look."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Corporal Murphy answers in a close whisper, "I can get you close to the balcony so you can slip over. If you want, I can also try to get you onto the other side so you can hit them from the rear or two sides. Up to you lads."

 

[Red Knight]

"We could wait until their asleep and dispatch them quietly." Cid offers to Garadh and Thuk.

At the mention of surrounding the pirates, Cid looks to the Corporal. "Surrounding them would be helpful as well."

"Can you two hide on the ledge while the Corporal circles around and drops me off? I could get their attention while yous flank 'em and attack their backsides." Thuk offered.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

"They'd have to hang on the ledge. With their gear. If they slip, it'll be into the drink they go."

 

[Red Knight]

Cid shacks his head in the negative before replying. "Hanging from the ledge of the boat is not something I would suggest." Cid looks around visible frustrated. "We have three options. Sneak past the drunken guards, attack them head on, or wait them out to succumb to their ale's call to slumber then remove them."
