Is there any enemies left on the ship?

The Great Sea Is Cursed

Actions

Fantasy: Steer this ship out of here!

(...) Redirecting the sails, you catch the wind and the boat starts to slowly push its way out of the whirlpool! You might just make it...

FW: Get on that damned ship.

(...) You feel your hand grasp the rope above and you pull yourself from the rushing current! You grip the rope with all your might, lest you fall into the vortex below. Wait, aren't you forgetting something?

Fantasy: Use my vast piratical knowledge to get the ship out of the maelstrom. After regaining consciousness, of course.

(...) You jump to your feet, take a swig of rum, and run to the back of the ship. As Frelock guides the sails, you navigate toward the edge of the maelstrom! Wind and rain pound your back as you strain with all your might to hold the wheel steady. Finally, you can feel the ship starting to free itself of the murderous whirlpool!

Fantasy: see if there is a weapons armory.

(...) Running below deck, you find a room with a large stash of weapons! And a crazy guy! With a knife OH GOD. A drunken sailor wielding a huge serrated machete runs at you with his blade raised high!

Fantasy: Carry a bottle with me and check what's going on.

(...) You take a swig of rum and peek over the edge of the railing. Eh. Not much. You fall asleep.

Meta: Make sure Frelock reaches the medbay without passing out, then investigate the storage pods I shattered.

The Great Sea Is Cursed

Actions

FW: Climb onto the deck. Summon George.

(...) Swinging your weight around, you grab the rope with both hands and haul yourself up onto the deck! (...) Figuring George must be underwater right now, you focus your summoning powers and attempt to teleport him back to you. Suddenly, a bubble of water blinks into existence on the deck and washes outward, revealing George! But he's... different. You must have used too much summoning energy and glinched him with a fish when you teleported him!

George now has fins and gills! And he's awesome enough to get his own status info!

Fantasy: Keep a sharp lookout from the crow's nest.

(...) Climbing to the crow's nest, you keep a lookout and assist Edgar in navigating the ship out of the storm.

Fantasy:Run a distance, pull out 3 throwing knifes, and throw them at Mr. Drunken guy.

(...) You toss all twenty throwing daggers at the drunkard, (...) and the wall of blades reduces him to a fine pink mist! The blades ricochet around the room, (...) and one scratches you on the arm! Eventually all the daggers stick in the wooden walls, but not before one bounces off of a hanging battleaxe and showers a small trail of gunpowder with sparks! The gunpowder begins burning. Only now do you realize that this room is also used to store the ship's whole supply of gunpowder, and that burning trail of gunpowder leads right into a leaking barrel!

Fantasy: Sleep through all this.

(...) You have the greatest freaking nap of all time. Seriously, you're a sleeping MACHINE. What's this...? Oh, a dream!
You awake in a brightly lit corridor full of flaming kittens. In fact, someone's using flaming kittens as a lighting fixture. Nice.

Fantasy: Continue sailing into NOT THE MAELSTROM

(...) You regress so deeply into your pirate instincts while navigating the storm that you can hear your pirate ancestors.
Bloodbeard: "Stop bein' such a pansy, Edgar! Push harder! You're a disappointment to the whole family!"
DAMN YOU UNCLE BLOODBEEEEAAAAARRRRD!
You can hear distant directions coming from above. Edgar, there's a rock ahead! Veer right! The wind is shifting! That's it, you've got it! Coming around, you see blue skies in the distance. You turn around and see the maelstrom behind you. You did it!

You know what could have been worse? If HEN used 'Splode on impact.

[Frelock]

Yea, that would have sucked.

Meta: Get medical treatment, then go back and get that blowtorch again.

Fantasy: Sensing danger, run down to the powder-keg room and cut the line of gunpowder.

[Gatleos]

Fantasy: Sensing danger, run down to the powder-keg room and cut the line of gunpowder.

You're going to climb out of the crow's nest, descend the ladder, run across the deck, open the cabin door, descend the stairs, run down the hall, open the door, run across the room and stomp on the gunpowder trail before it reaches the keg?! That's fast.

[Dermonster]

You know you'd really think I'd learn something about magic and summoning from all these six's

RW: Back, open heavy weapons and artillery

FW: Shoot a water blast into the ocean.
