Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

[Valkys]

Kiirivae calls down to the deck, "Cap'n, I'm leaving the nest. No point in being up here if they start lobbing fires at me."

She mutters a few words under her breath and gestures erratically. The last word out of her mouth is recognizable as "Avariel". With that, she sprouts white wings.

Then she moves to the edge of the crow's nest and flaps her new wings, a few times before jumping out and taking off.

 

[Other Guy]

Velerel

"Wow --" forget the captain's daughter; that is perhaps the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. The javelin falls from Velerel's hand, who is far too distracted to care right now.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Egan shadowsilver

"Quite the sight ain't she kid?" Egan chuckles at Velerel's reaction and turns back to the problem at hand.

 

[Dalamar]

Stumpy comes up from the hold, carrying a large chest. He throws it to the deck and opens it, revealing many crossbows with quivers and cutlasses. Many of the crew run to get weapons and then move near the railings, ready to attack if the ships were hostile.


Talindra releases the helm and runs towards Saphire. Gastrono quickly grasps the helm to keep the ship going straight.
"Saphire!"
She yells.
"Get out of there, now! Its not safe for a little girl like you!"
When she reaches her daughter, she grasp her by the arm and starts pulling her towards the cabins.
"Let go of me! I want to see the fighting!"
Saphire fights back with all her strenght but to no avail. She is dragged through the door leading to the cabins and a moment later, a slam can be heard as a door is closed forcibly.
Mere seconds later, you can see your captain coming back.
"What are you staring at! Get ready!"


Krubto frown as he sees Claro draw the staff.
"C'mon, ye're a monk aintcha? Show me how ye hit with ya fists, ye're just gonna trip yaself with that stick."

 

[Xael]

Xael

After some time (not long), Xael returns from inside, boots clattering (again) loudly against the deck. This time he is wearing a long black cloack that is waving in the wind. He walks in the middle of the deck and stays there.

 

[Valkys]

After evading a pair of crossbow bolts, Kiirivae flies back to the Qillathe. Landing on the deck, she walks over to the Captain, "No flags, Captain. Since they fired at me, I'm going to assume they're hostile. I wish I could have understood what they said, but I don't understand their language."

Her wings revert back into her shoulders as she runs belowdecks to her cabin. She grabs her composite longbow and her staff. She straps the staff to her back, positioned in the very center, so that when she has wings, it won't interfere with her flight.

Then she walks back up to the deck, longbow in hand.

 

[Other Guy]

Velerel, regaining control of himself and realizing what Kiirivae has just said, picks up the javelin, puts it away with the others, and then hurries towards her.

"Wait," he says, "even if you do not understand it, can you perhaps repeat anything that they said? I may be able, and would be quite honored, to help you."

 

[Valkys]

Kiirivae shakes her head, "I'm sorry. It was a strange, almost barking language. I didn't understand it at all. I wasn't trying to remember what they said, so I can't recall it."

 

[Other Guy]

"Barking?" Velerel replies," that sounds like the Goblin language, possibly spoken by Kobolds -- Though I would not bet on it until I see them. Oh well, as you said, it doesn't seem like they wanted to negotiate in any case. Best of luck to you in the coming battle."

With that he bows and takes his leave. He hurries to the chest and takes from it a crossbow and bolts, loads the crossbow, and joins his crew mates by the railings.

 

[GWolf]

Fists for fighting

"Right you are" Claro throws his staff aside and raises his fists.
