[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I don't really have much that I can do.

[Archangel]

Spoiler: Can I join? (click to show/hide)

Dan

Description: An insane Arathinian Heavy Infantryman with faint-suntan coloured skin. A 6ft 7, black haired, handsome, insane Arathinian Heavy Infantryman with faint-suntan coloured skin. A 6ft 7, black haired, handsome, insane, bisexual Arathinian Heavy Infantryman with faint-suntan coloured skin. Who has a pink, frilly, bobble topped beanie with a light blue smiley face embroidered on the front. He also has an assault rifle named Bubbles. Oh, and the smiley face breathes fire. And he tries to make jetpack like devices from pretty much everything. If I get in, I'm going to have a  lot of fun.

Clichés Tropes: Badass (2), Space Marine (2), Crazy Awesome (4), MacGyver (1), Hey it's that guy! (1)

[Armok]

I resignedly realize I'm going to have to join these madmen, board the ship, and begin to calculate a heading and a way to make it lift.

[NUKE9.13]

I help sail ye boat.

[EagleV]

So let's go.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm sorry, Archangel, I have 8 players currently, and I'd rather not start bending my own rules. But you are on the waiting list.

Currently on the boat: Nathan, James, Pyro, Gary.

Now that the bartender is weakened, I'll calmly get onto the boat.

You calmly climb up.

I do a flying leap onto the boat in order to talk to the crew, who seem to be the source of all the trouble.

Difficulty:15
Clichés: Special Forces, Theatrics.

5d6 = 15 [5d6:1,2,4,6,2]

You barely reach the boat, and hang on the railing for a moment, when suddenly

I watch for all our men, helping any struggling to get on with a well thrown rope, should that be the case.

a helping hand pulls you aboard.

I don't really have much that I can do.

You do nothing, and you do it with style.

I resignedly realize I'm going to have to join these madmen, board the ship, and begin to calculate a heading and a way to make it lift.

Sail into the skies while singing a pirate tune.

I help sail ye boat.

Difficulty: 45 (boat is wanting to take off, but sailing the skies is not given to everyone...)
Clichés: Armok (Maths, 5); Gruffy (Swashbuckler, 4); Nuke (Fire Mage, 4)

For anyone who is wondering how fire mage applies to air sailing: think turbojet + afterburn.

13d6 = 56 [13d6:5,6,3,3,3,5,5,5,5,1,6,6,3]

56. The average is 13 * 3.5 = 45.5. For 13 dice, going 10 above the average is a lot. Epic stuff happens.

The space-time continuum wraps around the boat as Sanger starts singing Mystic Arcane Formulae Including Derivatives, and while the fabric of reality is torn to pieces, the sails stay strong as Gary swings from rope to rope, including saltos and corckscrews inbetween. An ancient pirate melody starts playing, and defying all laws of nature, the boat starts rocking front and back in time and space, a few meters above the broken table. But then a giant jet of flames comes from the back of the boat, time and space stabilize, and the sloop shoots trough the roof into the skies. Mere seconds after that, the time of the inn winds back, and for a moment you see the inn from all sides at once, including the inside, and everything there goes back to the very start of this adventure.

Luckily, you guys are safe from the vicious circle of time, sailing trough clouds and thunderstorms, swinging from rope to rope, and feeling good.

"Wait... We forgot someone."

[GruffyBears]

"Dammit! That eijit of a sciency wizard chap forgot to get on board!"

He looks to the rest of the party, indecision in his eyes.

"Shall we continue without him?"

[EagleV]

((Actually, you forgot the detective. I hope "That eijit of a sciency wizard chap" forgives you ))

[GruffyBears]

I don't really have much that I can do.

That confused me.

Gary spots James then, leaning against the mani mast. He grins sheepishly.

"Apoligies, matey!"

He examines his crew again, determined not to make a second mistake. After a few seconds, his eyes light up with realisation.

"Oh, the fancy detective bloke is missin'...Right, are we going back for 'im or not?

[NUKE9.13]

Pyro is concentrating on making ye boat go.
Fire jets do not look after themselves.
Well they do but not without unfortunate consequences.
He manages to grunt "Leave him" between clenched teeth.

[Rashilul]

I walk up to Gary and ask him "What devilry is this" then go on long speech condemning him of the evils of destroying a perfectly good tavern.

[Armok]

> Measure current speed, heading, position, etc. And calculate how to get this thing into low orbit. Or if it's easier, how to get to the place were we actually want to go.

[SingularByte]

"It may be his destiny to be but a stepping stone on the quest to greatness, or he may be a keystone of this party. I do not know which. I know for a fact, however, that if he means to join us, he will find a way."

I'm going to add my destiny dice to any attempt he makes to rejoin us.

[tehstefan]

I look dramatically backwards, and shout "A soldier never leaves a man behind! We must go back!"

[EagleV]

((Sending a pm to Katsuun, will go on without him tomorrow around this time if he doesn't respond))

[EagleV]

Katsuun has gotten enough time.

It is too late to turn the sloop around now, as the speed is ridiculously high, the heading is straight north and the position is changing every minute. When one of you would look back, you would see a small detective figure holding what looks like a pink handkerchief, waving and dipping his eyes with it. But then you sail straight into a cloud, and everything turns white.

Taktaktaktaktaktaktak

During a pause in Pyro'zs jet of flames, you clearly hear a strange sound coming from above.

taktaktaktak...tak...pow-psssssht HOLY SHIT

A strange-looking guy crashes on the sloops' deck. on his back is a strange device with wings, but whatever it needed to do, it is completely ruined now. He looks like that guy from, where was it, you could swear you've seen him before...

Spoiler: Dan (click to show/hide)

You currently have an assault rifle named Bubbles with one bullet left, and a smiley face that is supposed to breath fire on your beanie.

You are slightly confused for crashing on a random flying pirate ship.
