RP Tavern Quest: The Delivery

[Carn]

"Gah! I was planning to resupply in Landmark! I know of a few oasis a day or two in, beyond that we may need to send hunting teams, to resupply or food."

[MightyKeb]

"We'll head for that then. I dont trust Arashi's for their intellect, but they'd atleast be smart enough to populate resourceful lands. Expect a fully fledged town and pray they're not hostile. Any last thoughts?"

[Koali]

"Hostiles won't be a problem. Napalm and water supply will, though."

[Carn]

"If we can find some, we should probably get sand cloaks, and something to cover ours faces in the event of sandstorms.  The Arashi are pretty smart, they know how to use the desert to fight for them.  But as long as we pay the coin and leave soon, i dont think they'll be too irritated with us."

[MightyKeb]

"Or perhaps we can try manouvering around those or simply getting to the Oasis as soon as we can. We didn't leave with a fish and squid for no reason."

[Koali]

"Oh, the irony! Two sea creatures, left to search for water!"

[Carn]

"Alright if we burn kerosene constantly we can keep pace with you Nathaniel."

down to the crew

"Pick an engine each of you! I want you to treat that engine like its your child, when it gets hurt fix it, and dont leave it alone!"

starts up kerosene and the two ships start racing to the oasis

[George Mills]

(Sorry for the absence, different time zones etc)
He sticks by the main engine, up by the balloon, and sits down, with his legs trailing off of the side.

[Koali]

*Stands between turning engines, wrench at the ready.*

[MightyKeb]

And our irrelevant heroes take to the Arashi's fierce skies, in search of survival.

(Will start the next chapter tomorrow aswell, this is slowly becoming a daily thing)

[Koali]

"I do hope someone decided to wind up the bartender, he can't go for very long without being wound up by someone else."

[Carn]

"George, take the helm for awhile'

Carn and George swap spots.  Noticing some movement of their port bow, Carn takes out his spyglass

"BLAST!"

Carn runs up to the radio and contacts Nathaniel

"WE'VE GOT RAIDERS TO THE WEST OFF THE PORT BOW,  1 KILOMETER OUT AND CLOSING IN.  1 junker with a sniper sniper aimed at us, and 2 squids.  Looks like they are on an intercept course."

[ShadedExalt]

*Shaded hops up, letting his Spyglass slide out of his sleeve and into his hand.  He raises it to his face and grimaces.*

"Junker looks like it's got a few rockets, a Mercury, and... Oh fuck, a Hades.  Besides that, we have a disable Squid like our own and an attack Squid."

[Carn]

"We've got the heavy flamer and 2 gatlings, and i unfortunately know their leader.  He calls himself the Desert Viper, the kind of guy that would set a baby on fire for fun.  Long story short, my old unit wiped out most of his group but he escaped, now it seems he's reforming."

[MightyKeb]

"Why don't we say hi to him over the radio to see if we can get him sentimental?" Nathaniel smirks, what seems to be a mocking remark soon is realized to be a serious suggestion after a moment of silence.
