Chapter 1

The Dreadship pulls up alongside the Indomitable and the second pirate attack begins. Many of the pirates climb the rigging and prepare to swing over. You notice that not all of the pirates are competent in ship to ship warfare. Many swing to their deaths as they either overshoot or undershoot their mark. Several fall from the rigging, most do not get up. You seize this moment to make your way towards the hold.

@Glorendil
You and Bran loved going to the theatre in Lion’s Gate. You remember a play called The Dutchess and The Pirate’s Daughter. It was a great comedy full of laughter, singing and epic dance routines. You give an amazing performance as Captain Keynes, your accent is perfect and full of pirate lingo. Unfortunately, in the real world pirates don’t speak like that. Even though the pirates are getting ready to attack the Indomitable. One pirate says get him he’s a spy. Four pirates turn and walk menacingly towards you.

@Que as you say the words "take me to your captain" the pirate gives you a long, hard look. The captain? Do you have a death wish? For what reason could you possibly want to speak with her? Then he notices that you’re not wearing a red bandanna. As you turn to walk away, he grabs your elbow wait, you’re not a pirate? He whispers taking off his own bandanna. Quickly wear this before someone notices. I was a sailor on a merchant ship once, before the Dreadship attacked. They gave us a simple choice join or die. Do not try to speak to the captain. She will kill you if you get in her way. Just join the attack on your ship and if you survive then no one will notice.

@Magak
You sneak past most of the crew and make it about ¾ of the way to the hold before you are surrounded by five pirates. One, an ogre of a man, steps in front of you, his face inches from yours and says nice looking axe you got there. Give it to me.

@Harbek, Que and Saris
You make your way without any effort and no one seems to notice that you’re not a member of the crew. You notice that Glorindel and Magak have split off in two different directions and Magak looks to be in serious trouble. This could provide you with an excellent distraction should you decide to disappear into the hold. Remember that the lives of many colonists depend on your actions today.

What do you do?

@Que
You disappear into the hold. @Magak. Your roar echos out across the sounds of battle. One of the pirates turns and runs away. The others look at each other and seem confident in their superiour numbers.

@Harbek
Your performance is legendary. You instantly insinuate yourself amongst the crew and many greet you as if you were an old acquaintance. This allows you to easily manoeuvre yourself next to the pirates surrounding Magak. @Saris
You approach the ogre man and as he turns to look at you, it distracts him long enough for Magak to take a swing at him.

Glorindel
One of the pirates breaks down as your insult cuts through his rough exterior. The others move in to attack.
