TURN 17! ALL HAIL THE GOOD LORD VISTA!
Help Shamus out.
You arrive with the other helpers, and wait for Shamus to explain.
Join the Sidequest
You join. Yay.
Wonder why bob did not practice with the pistol then go join the sidequest with bob
(bob will wrestle for now the pistol will help him become a bodyguard soon 
)
You and Bob head off to join the sidequest. [6] Bob agrees to use wrestling, and throws away his pistol. He then pulls out a shiny, new pistol to use instead.
I find a master who can further instruct me in the way of crossbow-firing.
[6] You find a man named Olgar McFlannigenshabenflibenschutz, the greatest crossbowman to ever live. He agrees to train you! [3] Unfortunately, you don't learn much. Olgar tells you it's all right, [6] and agrees to follow you until you become as great a crossbowman as him.
I acquire a lawn gnome, carry it to the district with the largest houses, plant it in the ground, and...
host a party!
[1] You find a suitable gnome in the Market Streets, but as you pick it up it bites you. Huh. Guess it was a real gnome. And he has some friends. (4 of them)
Agree to help Mr. Sidequest. I then proceed to dump the supplies on the ship (with a note: 'Property of Axle. Touch and be eviscerated') and recruit 'volunteers' from the crew to help me with the sidequest. Then go back to that swordsman and inquire for facts, maps, and other potentially helpful stuff before beginning with the sidequest.
You put your items away, and gather the crew, and ask for help. [2][2][4] and a fellow goblin decides to follow you. His name is Gnarftoof.
I grab some armor from the ships, then join the side quest.
[5] You find a set of plate armor. Sweet! You run over to Shamus, and listen to his tale.
Hummmm, stop the guild sounds like a side-quest to me. I'd like to ask around about "The Guild" and try to find where they are headquartered. I also like how I "Took" the armor instead of buying it, hell ya. Also you never added the armor to my equipment. I'd like to wear the armor.
You look around, and notice you are, in fact, wearing the armor already. Idiot.
[2] You ask about, but find out that even though most seem to know, few are willing to speak of it. [2] You are, sadly, completely unaware of the fact that Shamus is ten feet from you, speaking of it.
i look for someone willing to trade a cutlass for my pistol (if i have the starting equipment... and im realy not sure i do) and tag along for this sidequest
((Yes, you have the starting equipment. It's standard issue.)) [5] You find a passing fellow and trade a pistol for his cutlass. You're not quite sure what you'll do with two cutlasses, but whatever.
>create a fire bomb using alchocol
Apparently you worship Anarchis, the god of discord, insanity, and all around dickery. [5] You take a bottle of booze and a torch and rag. Instant fire bomb! But wait... this will detonate soon! You'd better throw it!
Allied ActionsKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!!
Boozebeard finishes his drink, and begins to scream like a seriously drunk motherfucker. [3] Sadly, the goblins are almost as drunk as he is, and care not for their own safety. [5][4] He swings with a cleaving blow, catching the two closest goblins in the chest! [2][2] However, their armor stops the axe in its tracks. Boozebeard takes opportunity of the ceased action to down another beer.
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!
Shamus explains to you all the story of the Guild, how they began ruling the city 300 years ago under the Don Cassivinci, and his extended family. They still rule today, placing humans above the rest of the species. They are cruel and unjust, taking too much for taxes for all but merchants to survive (they only do by selling to newcomers who the Guild do not wish to inform of the corruption, as the King would likely be notified. Their mansion is up at the top of the highest hill in town, and he will show you the way. However, there is a catch. They are too well-guarded to get inside through sheer force, but Shamus has a plan.
You are all to sneak in during a public ball tonight. (The humans will be guests, and the others their slaves.) You will have to leave your armor on the ship, excluding the "slaves". (In this town, the more well-equipped your bodyguards are, the higher your standing.)
Shamus would be recognized on sight, and thus will take part in the other half of the plan, taking ToonyMan's crew (should he agree, of course) along with Boozebeard's (who has already agreed) up to the top of the mansion roof. One of you will need to open up a secret door to let them in. From there, they will ambush the Guild heads, and take them out before anyone can escape. For this mission, Shamus does not trust you to go alone, and says that the Minotaur slave Rajiv will accompany you, along with whomever you've already taken.
However, he states that there is one problem: He knows the Guild leaders will be attending, but he does not know who they are. You will have to find out their identities during the party, then give him the info when you let him in.
Enemy ActionsKill 'da Stunty!
The four attack Boozebeard, swinging their cutlasses menacingly! [3][4][5][6] Only one misses, as the others strike in various areas of the Captain's body. [6][2][1] Two miss, but the last one cuts into Boozebeard's left arm, [5]
SEVERING IT! [1] Boozebeard falls unconscious from the pain, leaving him easy prey for the goblins...?
Crappy Plot-Saving Mysterious Stranger's TurnsKick ass, take names, introduce self to plot
Upon seeing Boozebeard fall, a mysterious hooded man rises from the bar, and draws a longsword, gripped in both hands. He leaps into the group of goblins, flourishing his blade and striking all four! [4][5][6][1] One ducks under the blade, but his friends are not as lucky, and are all hit. [5][5][4] The throat of one is torn away, leaving him dead on the floor; another's eye is slashed out, [1] along with his brain, slaying him as well. The third is only hit in the torso, [4] and manages to survive despite a few cuts.

Exiled by his own race for being a little nuts, he has taken to become pirate. Has an unhealthy obsession with machinery and technology of all sorts. His ability to actually use two pistols at the same time effectively makes him a valuable asset in each team, as one glance at him tends to make the opponents wish they would have brought their brown pants.
