RP Tavern Quest: The Delivery

[Carn]

shakes his head

"A good bit smaller then one of those, but a bull walrus can easily be twice as big as a full grown man, and they've got tusks."

Fishes out a carved walrus tusk from a pocket, its roughly 8 inches long

"They've got two of those, and they keep em sharp.  The ivory will fetch a fair price.  That one is carved for good luck."

[ShadedExalt]

*Shaded has squeezed himself into the small space by the hull, settling down for a nap.*

"I'll be sleeping, [Nathaniel], if you need a break let me know."

[Koali]

*Wakes up to a growling stomach.*

"Urg... I need food."

*Sees the meat.*

"Hmm... Looks good, but... It lacks a certain je ne sais quoi."

*Dons a chef hat.*

"It's time to cook!"

[Carn]

"DO NOT use any of the powders in the hold. Those are not for cooking, those are for making grenades."

[Koali]

*There is a "WHOOMPH" and a blackened [Koali] looks unamusedly at [Carn].*

"In the hold, you say? You didn't bother sweeping up the deck, did you?"

[Carn]

"There may have been some flash powder that i didn't get.  What can i say? I just didn't want you cooking with the stuff, the ones that dont ignite into open fire, would poison us upon ingestion.  There's some dry rations aboard, i was planning on picking more supplies when we reach landmark tomorow."

[Koali]

"What exactly is in these dry rations? And did we bring water?"

[George Mills]

(About the walrus)
"Hmm, that rings a bell. I think I saw one mounted on a decommissioned pyramideon once."
He takes the tusk, study's it, and hands it back.
"For good luck you say? I've got this...it's meant to be a Phoenix claw"
He pulls it out from beneath his shirt.
"But I'm not sure that it is, could be a dust gull."

[Koali]

"There's a way to test that. [George], take the helm for a moment, and hold the talon in your hand."

*George takes the helm.*

"Alright, now give us a little starboard turn."

*The entire ship whirls around faster than a Spire, throwing everyone off balance.*

"STOP! How far did you turn the wheel?"

[George] replies, "About 30 degrees."

"Then yes, it's a Phoenix Claw."

This is where [Nathaniel] kindly asks us what the !@#&% we're doing.

[Carn]

''I'll explain when we land.''

''George careful with that. The engines took some damage from that.''

Chapter 1

"**Inbetween the team's desire to get to Landmark and the Goldfish's odd manouvers, a wild storm approaches from the direction of Abyssal Gulf Sea. While it is distant, both ships can already feel it's effect from miles away."


**Nathaniel flickers in his radio, "Just once, I'd like something in this world to go smoothly. He glances back at the approaching storm a bit, before hailing on his radio again,


"I heard you weren't a fan of deserts, Carn. You may have to reconsider that.

[ShadedExalt]

"Can we outrun it?  Or do we need to change course?"

[MightyKeb]

"We can try, but we'll most likely either smack into something and die or lose a lotta' cargo. Now there's no way in hell I'd give up an ounce of those, we need that money. We can however, try circling through Arashi."

[Carn]

(sorry about the delay, i had church)

"Ah hell!"

Turns course to the desert

"Great, out of the rainstorm and into sandstorms.  Whatever you do, do not pursue any arashi pirates, they like to piss off ships and lure them into sandstorms."

[MightyKeb]

"Does this hunk look like a Galleon to you? We'll fare just fine, chase or not" He says nonchalantly


"But first things first, we can't cross the whole damn desert with just our teeth and paws. How's our water supply looking?"
