TURN 19! IT'S A TRAP!
We all get to insult Jetsquirrel and his mother before everyone goes to sleep for the first night.
Each member of your crew takes a moment to either insult the ratman, spit at him, or perform some other demeaning act upon him. Good times are had by all.
Return to the ship, then look for a sparring partner that does not have a crazy-awesome sword of F***-you-up
[2] Try as you might, all the crew aboard your vessel seem to be armed to the teeth.
Tell bob to go defend toony's ship, he's to practice wit hthe cannons and hoisting the sails each turn i forget to tell him to do something. and this turn.
Pray to Armok; explain: 'Diakron' cancels kill: running around with spear in side. Ask for armor.
>.< throw ring in fire wait a little pull it out (not with my bare hands or feet OR head parts) examine for words...
[3] Bob faithfully obeys you, but does not learn much from his actions.
[5] Armok hears your plea and sends you a chainmail shirt with his blessings. (+1 to avoid death rolls)
[4] You manage to throw it in and fish it out with a borrowed cutlass, [6] and find an incomprehensible language written on it. Perhaps one of the newcomers to the crew knows what it says?
I'll see if I can cook something with carrots which will improve my eyesight.
[6+2=6] Glad to be back in the kitchen, you instantly form a concoction in your head, and feed it to everyone, and you instantly see a reaction as they marvel at their newfound ability to see greater than they though possible! (+3 to anything involving sight for everyone!)
I get to the crow's nest and watch for persuit.
Since you had to leave that gnome to his fate back at the docks, you turn to more important matters, and watch for any attacking ships, which there should obviously be... [5+3=6] You instantly spot [6] two ships being loaded up on the docks! With your newfound sight, you can count how many are on each ship! [1][2][3][5] They are only small sloops, and most of the crew are dedicated to sailing it. Only 3 on one ship and 5 on the other look prepared to fight you. However, the mysterious man suddenly appears beside you and tells you that they are merely a force sent to delay us at the docks while the main fleet surrounds us and cuts us off.
Read books.
[6] You read an old, dusty tome detailing the rise of the first kingdom of Telessia, led by Robert Tehl in the First Age. He was a chivalrous and charismatic man, and the scattered human tribes flocked to his banner. He learned the crafting of steel from the dwarves, and the making of ships from the elves, and used this, along with the human knowledge of warfare to take the entire continent for himself, and drove all the civilizations off the continent save his own.
However, in an appendix the book notes that his great-grandson, Louis II, lost almost a quarter of his kingdom to the Lizardman chieftain Tartrex in the year 157 of the First Age, when he and his armies arrived from a string of islands to the east. Lizardmen are claimed to be immortal, so you wonder if Tartrex might still survive in one of the scattered tribes of Telessia.
Pray to Armok to change me back
[5][1] He changes you back, no questions asked. However, he admits that if you'd waited it out to amuse him a bit longer, you might have gotten something out of it.
Humm I'll head to the ship, under toony-mans crew, I'll repress my feelings to kill Jet.
You repress them. Barely...
...shrug glare and practice dual wielding my swords. again.
[1] You fail, and slip on a bit of blood from the previous battles aboard this ship. [4] However, you manage to catch yourself, and almost make it look like you intended that.
Make a fire bomb with a piece of cloth stuck in it to prevent it from igniting instantly, and if i want to ignite it i have to burn the cloth and throw it
[5] You manage to craft it equisitely, and it awaits your detonation with glee.
Crappy Plot-Saving Mysterious Stranger's TurnsExplain situation to Captain
ToonyManner is now the Captain in command while Boozebeard is out, so the man appears before him, and explains as suavely as he can that the ships in the dock are just distractions, and that you must flee before the main fleet arrives to destroy your ships. Whether or not you listen is up to you.

He has no idea of his Dwarf name but uses Silverlash (a name from an older dwarf that tuaght him English [or whatever we speak on this world]) now that he is free.

Lookout; Novice Pyromancer
She was sold into slavery to pay off her gambling debts, but the ship she was being taken to her buyer on was destroyed by pirates.

She doesn't gamble any more but has a habit of leaving playing cards that explode.

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. Also Jesus in disguise.

Flintlock Rifle; Plate Armor
Duelist; Novice Wind Mage

Deafening his opponents with his screeching voice.
There's nothing to say that he hasn't already told you, in his own, pain-inflicting way.
Probably something really awesome.
Shrouding Robes; The Sword of Fuck-You-Up
Resistant to Badass Decay (+1 to all rolls after the first ten turns he exists in.)
Environment:The warning bells continue, and the two ships begin to move out from the docks. You can see from here even that they are heavily armed and armored, and even though they are heavily outnumbered they could stand against you in a fight, at least for a time. The helmsmen of both ships turn to ToonyManner for orders, as he is in charge.
Locations:A vicious-looking sloop, with a blood-red paint, carrying 16 cannon and already looted treasures inside!
ToonyManner and all those loyal to him.
A small, sorry-looking sloop, carrying a dozen cannons and is painted white with a green trim. Possibly the ugliest thing you've ever seen float besides its previous incarnation, the Mad Hatter.
Everyone loyal to Boozebeard.
Let me know if I've made any errors.
We have a chance for some epic combat here, but if we do that we may end up becoming trapped. It is a dilemma, what shall you do Toony?
