Burning Skies Saloon Quest: Past, Present, and Future
RearAdmiralZill:
-Whitesea Operations-
*The three were standing in a locked room, a single table with a mp on it was the focus.*
Well i think we can assume they will be blockading Abyss. The question now is how do we break it?
Squids could run interference and give you time to bust through.
*Yiski shook his head*
They will expect that. And the long range gunners they have arent youre regular powder monkies.
Well, they are after us, not Nova and her gang. In order to blend in with everyone they cant shoot every boat flying around.
Your point?
*Zill smirks.*
My point is you can fly right next to them and disable them then. They dont know youre with us.
That might be crazy enough to work. Are they following us to Guild territory?
We cant. Squids wont make that without support vessels.
Better not to anyway. We dont need a fleet flying around Guild lands.
Then we do this at dusk. Low light will help us with the remaining long range fire.
We arent stopping at Abyss either. We go straight across.
*Zill sticks a knife into the map on Starostrog.*
Then we camp out and let the kids get our fuel.
*Yiski let out a short sigh.*
I still dont like that, but youre right in it being the only safe way.
*They departed the room to prepare.*
Yiski:
--Somewhere in Whitesea--
*Yiski and Zill were coordinating workers in the port to finish up any lingering repairs and resupplying.*
Zill, what are the chances you think the Birdmen haven't tipped off the Guild in tellin' them their two most hated enemies are stoppin' by for a visit?
Well, considering those feather-brains want us and everyone we know as allies dead, pretty high if not definite.
By the skies, have anythin' we've done ever not have problems?
Taking out the raider outpost in Cliffside.
Hmm... no, I remember out ship getting hit by a blizzard, and a lightning storm... within four hours.
*Zill scratched his head.*
Heh... that did happen. Well, I guess you're right.
So what's the plan when both the Guild and Birdmen come after us?
We'll figure it out once we cross the sea.
Fair enough.
--Whitesea Operations Mess Hall--
*Roland sat alone at the end of the table still thinking about what Yiski said earlier.*
I know Yiski is right, but I do not have the minimal training to do what they do. Even if the others do support me, I have never shot a gun until a few days ago, let alone have the ability to kill another. I think Yiski has too much confidence in me.
RearAdmiralZill:
-Whitesea-
*The storm was getting worse. While it would possibly prove advantagious for them to fly through, it was also risking additional damage just before the sea crossing. Zill didnt like it.*
Might as well get comfortable, going through this into a blockade is going to get us killed rather than on our way.
*Yiski grumbled.*
You cant be serious. After all this preparation?
You know better than to second guess my knowledge of these storms. Its not going to pass till dawn, so we might as well rest and be ready for it.
*Yiski was getting impatient but it was understandable. The group wanted this done, including Zill, and to be held back was simply frustrating. Nova chimed in.*
Well if you guys need rooms we have a few spare in the old barracks. A few cots here and there. Not sure how many.
Thanks. We'll manage.
*They all went into the mess hall to grab a bite and relax for the rest of the night.*
(OOC: Im sorry but im diein over here and i cant fathom a fight tonight. Tomorrow Ill at least be prepared for it. ;/)
Shinkurex:
*After securing the weapons on Zill's ship, Shink decides to go to the mess hall and grab a bite to eat. After getting his food, Shink scans the room, and notices Roland sitting all by his self. Shink walks up, and sits down beside him*
"Heya Roland, how are things going?"
Yiski:
--Whitesea Operations Mess Hall--
*Roland see Shink.*
How do you do you... you manage to kill others? Even if I can shoot a pistol, how do you rationalize shooting another person?
--Whitesea Port--
*Yiski was frustrated at the delays.*
First, repairs were supposed to take a day. Now, they finish repairs early only to be delayed by a bloody storm. It still doesn't fix the fact we have to potentially fight our way through... wait a minute.
*Yiski had an idea.*
Zill, I got an idea which may let us get by the Birdmen and Guild altogether.
*Zill rasied and eyebrow.*
We know the symbol they use on their ships right? Why not brand our ships with it too and change some of the colorin' too?
