[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm voting to head back to town, purchase some better weapons and armor for the crew, stock up on supplies, and find out if the Government will actually pay us for the raping, burning, and pillaging.

Locations of tendons, arteries, certain nerves,spots between ribs,soft spots in skeletal structure are usually in the same place for all mammals and if you know where a certain tendon is in an arm/leg you could target it with a roll and disable it. Or cause major bleeding in cases of arteries. Instead of slashing wildly at said bear, slashes at arms might disable the arms,and the opening can allow for a strike in between the ribs through the heart/liver/lungs

[javierpwn]

We also don't have to limit the autopsies to animals,or dead specimens. And in the spirit of a good book we could"find the spot where if stabbed with a dagger,severs both the spine and tears apart the heart" would be a pretty nice roll to strike someone there,unless sneaking

[LordBucket]

I'd say acquire a fancy naval uniform and start calling ourselves admiral. If we're going to be privateers rather than pirates, we'll want to look the part. Also, buy some food and supplies for the men. It will benefit us to have loyal troops rather than starving troops.

[My Name is Immaterial]

All three sound like plans. We could even smoke/salt and save the meat.

[javierpwn]

In the mean time we could attempt to find that wolf we slaughtered,if we get a good roll, it isn't touched by decay,and if so we could always ask our men to make leather/sell hidesor we could hoard our leather and use it tofix up the balloon

[My Name is Immaterial]

Making leather takes a long time, to the best of my knowledge. We could always sell it to the leather worker in town.

[javierpwn]

I believe we should go back to town for whatever,but on the way try to find the wolf

[Facekillz058]

Guys, its just a wolf. Calm Down.
Anyway, next turn.

You wake up in the morning, you hear the engineer clunking around, working on the hull.
"Mornin' engineer." You call out.
"Mornin', I got the guns finished. So i've started work on the hull. With the help of the other men, we should be done with it in a day or two."
"This is good. I want you to drop the tools for a few minutes and gather with the men, I have an announcement to make."
"Alright, I'll gather them outside."
A few minutes later, the men are gathered at the base of the wreckage.
"Men! You have worked hard, and for this I commend you! Now, I have a proposition to make! Do you want to protect the land, and live on the edge for your nation?!"
A few whispers are heard
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I mean, we become not mercenaries, but protecters of the land! We work for our government, and destroy any who seek to harm it!"
The crowd is quiet, they want to hear more.
"You can possibly earn a fortune, have whatever you can afford. You get a dashing uniform!"
You have them now.
"Sir, I will do this, as long as it is fair. I do not expect all the spoils, but I certainly expect some!"
"And some you shall have. You will be paid directly proportional to your effort!"
"We will work for you too!" Say the other two men.
"And you engineer, what say you?"
"Well, it's not like I have much else to do, count me in!"
Alright, shits being pulled together here.
"I will head back to town to get us some supplies, and gear. I will return shortly!"
You return to town. You do not see the wolf you killed earlier.
You look down at your coin pouch and figure you can afford some navy uniforms and Steel Longswords.
You first head to the blacksmith, and buy three Steel Longswords.
-150 Gold Coins
+3 Steel Longswords
You now head to the clothier, discover he has navy uniforms on sale, due to a surplus.
You buy uniforms for yourself, and less fancy ones for your crew.
-110 Gold Coins
+ 1 Admiral Uniform
+ 4 Navy Uniforms

You ditch those stupid linen clothes.
- Linen Shit

You go to a gun store and buy a rifle for yourself and the engineer.
-150 Gold Coins
+2 Rifles
You also buy some bullets, dumbass.
-20 Gold Coins
+60 Rifle Bullets

You can go to the palace and request a charter for privateering, or you can go to the tavern and try to recruit a pilot/navigator.


Hull done in 3 turns.

Nuu the wolf corpse1!1!!!11
Anyways we should gain respect from the rest of the town hopefully doing tasks or find animals to stealcommandeer and possibly do the same with some items from a shop.
Or we could also enlist the services of the local blacksmith and/or his apprentice and have a floating forge

[misko27]

Go with getting the charter first, then go and find a hot navigator.

[Facekillz058]

Sorry for having to be so awesome pathetic, but at the moment, I have school, and driver's ed after school, so I can really only update this once a day. At about 6:00 PM EST.
So like, yeah.
This story is going to be take real slow like.
On the bright side though, over the weekend, I should be able to update this every few/several hours.

[My Name is Immaterial]

A charter would help with the persuasion. I also support the blacksmith/apprentice suggestion.

The schedule is fine here. We can be patient.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Lets get the charter first, you never know they might just assign us a pilot due to a surplus or some a lack of ships to put them on, also stow the hat no need to get to fanc yet.

a schedule would be prefect.

[javierpwn]

The only bad part about us getting a charter right now is the fact our ship isn't built yet,and they probe want more ships,I say we commandeer recruit more men at the tavern,we do look like an admiral. And if not we can do some local quests
