T'skrat grabs the nearest deckhand, and points at the ship.

'Help?'

See what work there is to be done before setting off.

[Sirus]

Jan was unimpressed by the Sea Snake, but didn't say anything about the captain's claims.
"Where do ye need me? I've plenty o'years on the sea, navy and...otherwise."

[ShadowHammer]

Well, I ain't great with ships, but tell me what to do and I'll do it.

Do whatever someone who seems like they know what they're doing tells me to.

[AlleeCat]

"Where do ye need me? I've plenty o'years on the sea, navy and...otherwise."

"Well, we're short a helmsman, as well as several positions around the ship. We got a skeleton crew right now. You and your mates should be a welcome addition after yesterday's... incident."

Do whatever someone who seems like they know what they're doing tells me to.

The captain tells you to get up in the rigging and untangle some lines that got blown around in last night's wind, because "some idiot" forgot to properly fasten them down.
AGL+DEX(9): 5
You clamber up the rigging and start to untangle all the lines from it. It takes at least an hour, and by the time you get down and dust off your hands, the vessel is just about ready to depart, but the captain seems impressed.
"I thought you said you 'weren't great with ships.' I was betting on you getting tangled up there yourself, and unstringing a flailing orc 15 feet above deck is no easy task. I should know."

Kyle looks for something to do.

[AlleeCat]

Kyle looks for something to do.

You lead the crew in a shanty to help the work go quicker. Everyone seems a lot happier with some music, almost as if the events of the previous afternoon have drifted farther away.

[Sirus]

"Well, consider yeself no longer short a helmsman. It'll be good to steer a ship again!"

Jan cracked her knuckles and began to familiarize herself with the ship's wheel (assuming it has one) and rigging. She also puts her new tools in an easily-accessible place.

[kj1225]

Kyle seems to be quite happy to play music for the crew.

[ShadowHammer]

"I thought you said you 'weren't great with ships.' I was betting on you getting tangled up there yourself, and unstringing a flailing orc 15 feet above deck is no easy task. I should know."

Eh, it wasn't all that much harder than untangling the snares from tree branches back when I was with the tribe in Elskar forest.

[Sarrak]

Feeling that he is not really needed now, Kerr'tan stood at starboard side of the Sea Snake, watching the calm sea.

"Well... Perrrfect time to prrray forr a safe voyage."

[AlleeCat]

With everyone on board, and the preparations finished, the Sea Snake sets sail out of port. Jerold comes out from his bar long enough to give a wave goodbye, and Phillip sits on the dock the whole time, forlornly watching the ship sail into the distance.

It will take a few days of sailing in this wind to get to your destination, but it's not long before some ruckus breaks out on deck. What is it about?

[kj1225]

Someone was drunk while on duty obviously and is attempted to avoid punishment ending in a fight.

[Sarrak]

The fight quickly escalated, even weapons got drawn. Sailors, quite unnerved by the target of their voyage, were tense for past two days and now all that tension served to fire up a small incident to a grand scale.

[Sirus]

Jan, up by her position at the wheel, groaned and made sure her cutlass was in an easy-to-reach place.

"Where the hell is the bloody bo'sun? Cap'n, ye ought run down there and reassert order unless ye want a mutiny on yer hands."

[AlleeCat]

"Where the hell is the bloody bo'sun? Cap'n, ye ought run down there and reassert order unless ye want a mutiny on yer hands."

"What in bloody hell do ye think I'm doin'? Swabbin' the deck?" The captain is currently in the middle of the fight and trying to regain order the best way she knows how.
