((...Crap.))

A couple minutes after his statement, Galan is accosted by Varg.

"What'n the... let go of me, ye wretched fool! I worked as a woodworker fer years, I thought I'd known what I were doin'!"

[highmax28]

Woodworker my arse! If you were, then why are we taking in water!? YOU are coming with me to fix this, as long as it takes.

Varg manhandles Galan to the lower decks where Varg makes him help fix the hull.

[Tawa]

"[angered muttering]"

Galan also takes 20 on his check to assist Varg.

[highmax28]

((Varg uses his blackguard power to smite a good thread!

This still going on or is it done for? I actually liked this thing))

[Tawa]

((Me too.

If not, I'm definitely going to recycle Galan, because I just love the idea of a drunken old guy with miserable dexterity who's suspicious of everybody too much to toss him onto the pile of unused characters.))

I didn't get much of a response from the others.  Tell you what, I'm a bit busy atm, but if there's nothing back from the other two by next week, I can just keep the adventure going with the pair of you if need be.

((Can we just toss them overboard if they don't respond? Get new guys? ))

[Tawa]

Well, it's been a week.

[highmax28]

Well, it's been a week.

((Is it keelhaul time yet?))

[Tawa]

Well, it's been a week.

((Is it keelhaul time yet?))

((I hope, this is just dragging. I miss it. ))

[Tawa]

Guys?

Guyyyyyyyyys.

I liked this game.

[Iituem]

The pair of you manage to get the ship into ship shape, so to speak.  With your votes given, Greene becomes the new Captain of the Shallow Hope, which is decided to be repaired and kept as the ship of choice.  His first mandate is to "get rid of the damned freeloaders on my ship" - the bard and soldier are to be dropped off at the next port, but for now you seem to have impressed him enough to stay aboard the ship.

After a little experimentation, you find at first that the wand doesn't seem to do anything - then you accidentally cut your hand on a nail and the next time you try it the cut heals up; you appear to have found a wand of healing!

After a couple of days to get the ship in shape, Greene calls another vote; "Where now?  To harbour, or to take another prize?"

[Tawa]

"I say we 'ead to 'arbor and offload our cargo. No sense 'n carryn' stuff we can't use."

[highmax28]

"I say we 'ead to 'arbor and offload our cargo. No sense 'n carryn' stuff we can't use."

Varg agrees uneasily, with his slight fear of water starting to get the best of his senses now

[3] Greene's attempts to torture the enemy captain bear no fruit.  Frustrated at his unwillingness to talk, he allows Varg to hurl him overboard in tribute to the sea.  [?] By chance or propitiation, the following day the rain eases up, replaced by a steady wind.  This wind carries the newly repaired Shallow Hope safely to the harbour of Vasir, in the Duchy of Vasir, where the ship makes port.

Greene declares a few days' rest while he works on selling off the captured cargo and hiring some new crew.  Meantime, the gold and silver from the haul is divided amongst the crew with Greene taking a triple share as captain.  You each receive 15 ducats in spending money; how would you like to spend your down time?
