Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Grim watches the seagulls coming from the harbor, his hair moistened from the sea air and then he goes down the ship, back into his room, gripping his sword tightly...

Why do I feel this destructive urge still...it never ceases to haunt me...

 

[Valkys]

OOC: Sorry, I'm not used to checking my email for gme info. I'll try to be better.

Kiirivae shades her eyes, making certain that she isn't mistaken, as something appears on the horizon. Suddenly she shouts down to the deck, "Captain! Ships ahoy! Two masts! Looks like they're moving together!"

She waits a minute as the ships get a little closer, "Captain, they're smaller than us, but moving fast. Very fast. I can't make out the flags, yet."

She sends Skye aloft, hoping the bird will be able to get a better look at them. She shouts down again, "Permission to get a closer look, Captain?"

 

[Acmite]

As a precaution, Lorec will string his bow and try to get a good look at the coming vessels (Spot check?).

 

[Xael]

Xael gets up from the barrel and walks to the railing, boots clattering against the deck. He leans over the railing, looking at the two ships.
After he stares the ships for a few seconds, he walks inside, boots clattering...

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Egan Shadowsilver

"BY TEMPUS! It's about time, my bet is they're out balder's gate lookin to return a certain young lady. Well, let them come, I for one am ready!" Egan grinning ear to ear hopps down to the main deck readying his crossbow as he makes his way to the rail.

"Well, Lorec, the cap'n's girl may be blessing after all." Egan laughs, and gives his fellow crewman a single pat on the arm.

 

[Dalamar]

Now everybody on the deck can see the sails. They're coming from the direction you're headed so they can't be from Baldur's Gate. You can't be sure but the distance seems about 400ft. and closing.


Talindra starts shouting orders as she herself takes a firmer hold of the helm.
"Stumpy! Get the weaponry up here, just in case! Gastrono, take some of the men and take most of the sails down, leave just the main one! Kiirivae, as soon as you can make out their flags, tell me!"


A fire lights at Krubto's eyes and he pops his knuckles.
"I' seems I might be showin' ye how things work in real combat, skinny."


Saphire's eyes light up too, but for different reasons.
"Maybe they're merchants. I could buy myself some prettier clothes and maybe some jewels and..." The list goes on and on.

Egan Shadowsilver

Egan turns and looks at Saphire.

"Uh, not meanin to sound disrespectful, but shouldn't the girl be below deck until we know what we're dealing with here?"

"Cap'n?"

 

[GWolf]

"You may be right there, friend" Claro says realsing his quarterstaff from the back of his shirt and grabbing it.

 

[Other Guy]

Preparations

Seeing the ships approaching, Velerel speaks to Nezeron for a moment and then releases him from his arm. The raven flies into the sky, high enough to be out of the reach of the enemies during the battle.

He then turns and quickly runs below the ship, returning a moment later with 5 javelins: one in his hand and the other four in whatever it is that people use to carry javelins in (a large quiver, perhaps?), intent on staying as far away from close-combat as he possibly can.



(OOC)
Dalamar, I hope you got my e-mail.

Hearing the commotion updeck, Grim strides calmly up the stairs, his sword ready and his hand gripping it unconsciously...
