Giggling manically (sp?), Amy grabbed the rope and swung on board, landing smoothly on to the merchant ship, before twirling her cutlass around her finger, before hurrying towards Rider's sober opponent, hitching up her long skirt so she didn't trip over. Amy also drew her pistol, her hand shaking slightly.
Before she reached Rider, a Mynci slid down the rope infront of her, and landed, drawing his cutlass aswell. A feirce sword fight between them soon took place. The swords glinted as Amy used her sword skills to try and graze the Mynci, and weaken him. She suceeded in doing this, and the rope he had slid down was still lying on the floor. It tripped him up, and Amy brought her sword down and slashed his arm.

Keng's swing hit her opponent with the broad side of the blade squarely in the head, knocking him out and freeing her to pursue a new opponent, she went for the one with the dagger whom Ventratta was attacking, once again, swinging with the broad of the blade fist.

"Somethin' going on?" Suddenly, Kat found herself nearly knocked off her feet as a Gnorbu blazed past her with a cutlass in his mouth. Arming herself with a cutlass and the wand at her belt, she rushed forward, crossing blades with him.
"I can beat 'em without magic!" she declared, cutting though the air with the cutlass and causing the Gnorbu to dive and roll aside to avoid the attack, but in the process, he dropped his weapon, which Kat kicked aside.

Huntress moved aside a little with her eyes narrowing. Another arrow was ready to go but she had gotten a little thought in the meantime...
"Bob, the flask," she demanded, taking the arrow out. Bob the meepit gave her a smaller, silvery bottle. The girl uncorked it and dipped the arrow in it. When she pulled it out, the steel tip had lost its shape and turned bubbly. But it didn't matter. Huntress loaded the crossbow again and aimed carefully. Southern wind, 'bout twenty grams, lessee... Fzzzzt!
One of the ropes that came from the tip of a yard to the railing shook a little, then the acid from the arrow burned through and the rope broke loose. The yard suddenly turned, ramming into the fore mast and the whole rigging shook violently.
"Guys!" Bob yelled, jumping out of the pouch. He had gotten Huntress's idea. "The braces! Get the braces!" Some meepits dashed over to gnaw on more ropes while some sailors ran to the broken brace to fix it. Huntress grinned. That oughtta keep some of ye busy...

The smart pirates were jumping overboard. The insanely loyal ones were fixing the braces. The Meepits of Rder were nibbling on the pants of those who were fixing the braces.
"Time to start looting!" Rider called. "If anyone still opposes us, cut them down!" She paused. "But we'll leave their Phoenix Down on the ship."
((Hooray for deus ex machinas which keep this RP moral. XD))
Rider ran below deck. The pirates and wenches there didn't give her any trouble. It might have been the way Ventratta stared. In fact, these pirates were giving up a bit too easily. There was something odd about it.
A shine in the corner of her eye. A young female Krawk, well-dressed and well-fed, perhaps a noble-blooded prisoner to be ransomed. She was still wearing her jewels. Rider stopped. Two rings and a locket. That Krawk, where had she seen those features before? "I'll be takin' those jewels."
The Krawkess paused and slowly removed the rings.
"The locket, too, lass."
"I can't. It was a gift from my father."
"Let's see it."
She opened the locket.
Rider's face turned pale.
"Ye can... keep the locket, lass. Alright, me crew, leave the lady alone. Take every other thing of worth on this puny vessel! I know she doesn't exactly have jewels an' spices, but take what she has!"

Keng was busy grabbing what she could carry, she was selective in taking things that appeared the most expensive. Before heading out to take the loot to the White Weewoo, she stopped by Cap'n Rider. "Cap'n, Someone should make sure we leave them enough food for them to get home. And also make sure that they have enough supplies to fix those bracers, with the number of people we have looting, it could be easy to take too many things they'll be needing."

Komori's ears perked. Looting? All right, this'd be the easy part. She headed straight for the deepest part of the ship, hoping to find some nice new tools to add to her collection. "Supplies to fix the bracers?" she laughed as she spotted the ship's repair chest, "Hah, they can row home."

Zylaa clambered up onto the deck when a weasel informed her the battle was one. She inexpertly swung over to the other ship, barely managing to keep her feet on the landing.
"Well... if we're letting them keep the necessary supplies... plus, money corrupts the hearts of men. We'll be doing them a favor taking it," she reasoned with herself as she set off to loot the ship.

Huntress stood up, sticking the crossbow back into the jungle of belts that formed the back of her corset. She jumped into the nearest ropes of the other ship and climbed down the main rigging. The dark blue meepits surrounded her, ready to watch her back.
"Guys!" a little voice yelled from the railing of the Weewoo. It was the meepit with burned ears. "Get me some pepper if you find any! I'm gonna need all I can get!"
"Oh boy, he's trying to cook up his new version of gunpowder again," Bob grumbled, crawling back to Huntress's pouch. It wasn't easy as the girl was currently running down the stairs, led by the meepits who could smell treasure but eventually he landed in the leather pouch.
"T'might come in handy, y'know," Huntress remarked, smashing a door open. Her eyes lit up. It was a small hold, filled with loot, perhaps some pirate's personal belongings.
"The last time he tried using it, the cannon blew up," Bob stated. "Umpf!" A handful of silver coins had landed on his head. The meepit moved over to make room for the money. Huntress was already giving commands at that time: "Some of ye, go get that pepper. And some go tell the others what we found. I only take silver, ye know that... but it'd be a shame to let all that pretty gold go to waste."

Post by Ikkin on Jun 8, 2006 22:27:26 GMT -5
Ikkin was so curious about Rider's orders to leave the lady Krawk alone that she found it more difficult than it should have been to leave her captain and loot the ship. She tried, but the feeling that she needed to know just wouldn't leave her alone. So, carrying a mostly-intact cutlass and several cannonballs, she returned to her captain to ask.
"What happened between you and that Krawk, that you want us to leave her be? You sounded kind of strange when you gave that order... is she someone you know?" Ikkin asked.

Amy shared the same wonder as Ikkin, but decided she'd ask Ikkin about it later. Shaking herself, Amy grabbed the rope the Mynci had used and climbed up it. Using her feet to manouvre (sp?) herself, Amy swung across, knocking a Techo to the floor.
Then, Amy bent down, and opened a trapdoor she'd spied from above. The room smelt bad. Stepping forward, she squinted in the darkness to see what was there - and then tripped up. She lay there, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. It was where this ship stored their food!
Grinning eagerly, Amy avoided the smelly food (the room was clearly divided into the rotten food and the good food), and piled 3 loaves of bread into her left arm, shoved a few slices of salted pork into her leather pouch and stuck the stalk connecting to the grapes into her mouth. She left her right hand for fighting.
A glint caught Amy's eye as she head towards the light that was beaming down the stairs lesding back up on deck. Amy felt curious, and strode forward before- CLANG. There was a smash and she realised the bottles were full of water to drink. Amy cursed and brushed the glass aside carefully, before rushing back up the stairs, swinging back to the White Weewoo and storing the food safely in the store room. Then, Amy swung back and drew her cutlass again.

((*prods the guild* I see dead people >.> Curse of the White Weewoo xD I gotta watch less PotC. Gotta love 'em DVDs...))
The meepits flooded the deck of the other ship as Huntress returned to the daylight, carrying shiny silver bracelets and rings. She hadn't taken much but what she had was already worth half the Weewoo
"Well, I'm done," she stated, looking around, then squinted at the tiny figure up on the royal yard. "Hrm, this one's lookin' like it has spotted somethin'... mine or Rider's, Bob?"
Bob, who was sitting on her shoulder as the pouch was full, sniffed the air. "It's Bloody Mary, and we're not yours, mind you. But now that I start thinking about it, something's wrong... something's coming... Rider's meepits have spotted it too, methinks." He looked around. The other meepits had frozen all around Huntress, sniffing the air and frowning in confusion.
"I don't smell anything," Justice muttered, sliding towards Huntress's boot as if looking for comfort, "but that's exactly the problem. It's some meepit hunch."
"Suggesting us to get lost ASAP," another meepit added. The others nodded slowly.

((Maybe everyone's busy with the Altador Cup?))
Komori dropped off her loot in the Weewoo and was considering heading back for some actual piratey treasures. When she headed on deck, however, her stomache started to turn sour. Seasickness? No, couldn't be. She decided it was probably that weird Meepit grog. "That'll teach me t' go drinkin' thing I don't have any business drinkin'." she muttered to herself.
She looked towards the pillaged ship. Speaking of Meepits, those little critters were sure actin' funny. Like they were waiting for something. Komori perked her ears. The sea did seem a little... calm.

((Why bother? x3 She can respond later. It's not like we can't do this whole thing without Cap'n Ri- *brick'd, keelhaul'd and maroon'd for mutiny* x.X I mean, I'm just making suggestions for the next step of the storyline, while trying not to press the almighteh Captain's decisions too much. Not that I'm succeeding in it...))
"Bloody Mary!" Huntress shouted. The meepit leaped down from the yard, bounced onto the deck dozens of feet below and rolled over to the railing. His face, as much as meepit faces show expressions, was concerned.
"Ye were higher than any of us, and ye look like ye've seen something," the girl said, boarding the Weewoo again. The other meepits followed her, glaring back at the pirates of the other ship just in case they were planning to try something funny.
Bloody Mary nodded grimly. "The wind is ceasing, which is a bad, scratch that, a very weird thing in the middle of this ocean. And a ship is coming, no more than five miles away."
"A sail ship?" Huntress asked with a frown. "How can that be possible?"
The meepit shrugged. "Beats me. But issa sail ship, all right."
