Some of you have been aboard Selûne's Grace before, for some this is your first time aboard the vessel. Either way, over the last two days you've fallen into the comfortable working pattern that you've come to expect of one another from your times adventuring together in the past. This morning was no different from those previous: warm salty air blowing steadily across the crystalline teal waters of the sea. No clouds in the sky, and overall a very happy crew, you've been steady making your way towards the mouth of Asavir's Channel.
You had spent nearly a week before departing in meetings with Helane Mardon, the captain of the vessel. The half-elf has earned her reputation as a hard-ass captain and a vicious combatant. In your meetings she was confident and had the kind of personality that screamed "I'm in charge" without having to make an effort to that end. Aboard the Grace, this was even more obvious as the crew worked together like a well-oiled clockwork machine.
Amid the creaking boards and slightly rolling deck, you find yourselves on the main deck, talking in a circle with the Captain, the other officers, and their support staff.
Alright all, we're a few hours out from the mouth of the channel and the chances of us being set upon just went up three damned fold. Hopefully you've all managed to get your folks back into operational shape the last few days. We're goin' on three sets of four hour watches starting now. I want to make sure when we get hit, we're fresh. Set your crews. Now, discussing combat plans, as we're sailing under new privateer papers, we've got the salvage rights, so I want to aim for not sinking any other ships, unless we have to. It'll make us all filthy rich if we can capture one or two and bring 'em home as part of this. Anyone have any open concerns before we move on?

If any of you would like to also fill one of the non-captain officer/mates shoes for when we get to shipboard combat, let me know and we'll replace one of the ones on this list with your name. :)
