Prologue: End of Chainfist's reign.

Nov 3, 2019 7:14 am
The Wicked Captain Chainfist is finally forced into the realm of death as Darastix fired a flaming blast of energy through his ribcage and into his burning black heart. This final blow caused his bones to fly off in all directions, and leaving behind a strange smoldering black pendant.

Any remaining skeleton crew collapse into a pile, and the supernatural fog clears. A look throughout the ship reveals no valuables or the clues to any treasure. Even the Captain's quarters contains nothing but a Throne made from bones and rope, and plenty of cobwebs.

The surviving pirates and the citizens of the Sun Empire goes up to Darastix, as she has become the de facto captain. "Cap'n Red! It looks ta be that we have claimed this ere' spooky ship from that bony seadog! It would be an honour fer us ta serve ye as ya crew!" One of the senior pirates announces.

"However, o' course its up ta ye. Also, we had ta deal the other folks on board with us. Especially the blood suckers..." He whispered the last line as he tilt his head towards the vampires.

OOC:
What is Darastix's response? Who would try to deal with the strange artifact? Is any one against the idea of Darastix being the leader?

"Well Darastrix, that was quite the fight. The captaincy is rightfully yours. I will follow you, if you will lead" says Agla holding forth a clawed hand to the newly appointed captain.

Chee-hu steps up to the curious artifact, looks at it, and smiles. Curiosity is getting the better of him.
OOC:
Not sure which knowledge check is appropriate.

Rolls

Nature (+1) or Arcana (-1) or Religion (-1) - (1d20)

(6) = 6

Perception - (1d20+4)

(16) + 4 = 20

Investigation - (1d20-1)

(11) - 1 = 10

OOC:
I'll take Investigation. Next time if you want to do something, just let me know and I'll tell you what check to make. Or you can make a single roll and I'll add the appropriate modifier. I'll also share what I believe what the checks mean.
Investigation: study something closely
Perception: Be on the lookout for something.
Nature: Recall how something relates to animals, plants etc.
Arcana: Recall about spells, magic items, and being able to identify them.
Religion: Recall about gods and their lore.

I approach the pirate who mentioned the blood-suckers. Do you have a problem with me? If so, we can settle that right now. I smile at him, revealing my fangs. Perhaps you would like to join my type and then they'll deal with you too? I don't wait for a response.

I look at Darastrix. You have rightful claim to this ship now, and I will not deny it. You will have no trouble from me, as long as certain conditions are met.

Darastrix has no problems with taking leadership. Not that didn't want it in the first place as the last ship she wasn't when she got kidnapped. She isn't about to pass up this chance. Aye Chain is gone! She spits on where his some of his bones lay. Seeing the condition of a freak'en undead ship, We need to set sail! Anyone that doesn't fair to deal with this can find Dave's Locker.

Appears she wishes to get the ship in ship order and it need cleaning and is going to need supplies. And she doesn't take no for answer to getting that done. She will hunt for maps to figure where the nearest port is.

The pirate that Lord Artemis spoke to begins to reach for his sword. Before he could give a warning, the vampire turns away to speak with Darastix. He took a breath as fear left him, but soon anger returned, and the pirate walked away muttering curses under his breath while keeping an eye on the vampires on board. "Frick'n pale bastards... and their devilish humour. May they sink to The Locker..."

Meanwhile, another pirate came to Darastix. "My Lady! I have with me a map, as you requested. This map may be drawn by my own hand, but it could do for now. As for the nearest port, I believe it's Port Red Fang. However, it has been taken over by the Legion of Dusk, so there may be some issues if we land there. But with some of their citizens onboard, I think they could make it easier to go past their strict bureaucracy." He then looks at the sun, then points to the West. "That way is our is destination. Once you approve, we will set sail!"

Chee-hu’s hands glow a vibrant green color, and a symbol indicating what the weather will be like in the next 24 hours appears as the vibrant colors coalesce.

Darastrix half chuckles on the thought that is a lady, but she lets it pass. There seems to be little about her that is at all lady like other than her body. With a quick glance over the map. Aye. This will have to do. She gives out the order to set sail. To the port we go. She smiles inward as she watches the crew get this undead ship moving.

She picks up old Chain's toy. Looks at it in wonder what power it might have. She believes Chain would only have it if it had some worth about it and it survived better than him.

I make sure to stay close Darastrix, hoping to use friendship as a means to an end.

As Chee-hu casts his spell, the form of a small drizzling grey cloud appears out of thin air in front of his glowing hands.

As Darastix picks up Chain's item by its chain(lol), she noticed something strange.

I'll move forwards time, but you can still post a reaction at that moment if you want.
Despite the decayed appearance of The Embargo, it still is able to float and sail in the waters. The crew worked with energy to make sure everything is running smoothly as the ship travels West. Also, the ship has been properly disposed of bodies and bones as the crew threw them overboard, but not without uttering a few prayers first.

The sky begins to darken with clouds and the light shower of rain starts to fall. Soon, the sun sets, and the moon rises. Its almost time for sleep, and a few pirates have gathered in the ship's cage-filled hold, where they either cracked jokes to pass the time or have begun dozing off.

I stay on deck as the moon rises. The sight of the moon relaxes me.

One of crew anxiously went up to Darastix and try to whisper to her.

During the sunlight hours Agla will take to the air to act as lookout for the ship. With the height she can attain she can see a wider horizon than a mast-head lookout.

in quieted conference, she says, Aye Fairport would be better, I guess that I keep this motely crew together till then. I'm sure our supplies are short. We best make haste.

"I shall inform the others then." The pirate goes to inform the one who is steering the ship to change course.

Soon, morning comes again, and as the crew wakes up and learn of the change of destination, a few grumbled about posibly having to starve before making land, while others are relieved for picking a safer port.

I change my clothes and hang my wet clothes on the side of the ship. I make sure everything is straightened, as to limit the wrinkles.
