"100! Wait, what? What am I on about?" Demonsul wonders what enchantment crossed his path to force him to say those numbers...

[lol...but anyway, look at post 99 for my map suggestion]

[[OOC: We are following the same route as I said earlier, but that larger map will be useful in later games...]]

Captain Septim gathers the men aboard the Stormborn and they head off, Septim's business had been to buy a ballista, which is now on board and will be usefull in destroying enemy ships. He also bought ten grapple hooks to board enemy ships and a new flag.

Septim sets sail towards the east, where they will strike back against the Easterners.

Septim walks over and looks down upon the crack.

"Fill it with this", he says as he passes Plato a jar full of a bizarre creamy substance.

"Well you were Wrong!!"
Said Salaracen in an typically mean Dark elven way.

He sat back down and grinned at the witty comment he had just said....

Though if you ask me It wasn't very witty.....

Demonsul wondered where they were going. They were heading east, he had definitely seen the towering South Byral Peninsula on the horizon to the left of the ship. "Excuse me, but when are we going to Bronimina?" he asked Septim. "I didn't pay 5000 just to wind up on some voyage! I paid to go home!"

[you should probably just ignore him, to be honest]

*Plato grabs a flask and his bag of gold and follows the card players*

"Hey, can I join in?"

As Septim gives orders on the top deck, the people below play cards, and below that, a creature lurks, about to strike. The ship trembles from a sudden attack, but Septim maintains his balance.

"Prepare for defense! Arm the ballista, the rest of you ready your bows!", yells Septim.

Septim grabs his longbow and his quiver of special arrows and aims one at the beast, he fires and the arrow goes into it's body, the arrow suddenly explodes and makes a small wound on the creatures body. The creature roars and the other crewmen fire their arrows, some go into the creature, some miss, the ballista fires and misses.

"Reload the ballista men! Quick!"

Demonsul has no ranged weapons, and so rushes to aid the ballista crew. He helps them reload the ballista, and they fire again, but the bolt arcs over the creature's head and splashes into the water.

Suddenly, the creature slams the ship again, knocking Demonsul off balance. He slides across the deck and collides with a crate of supplies, which gives way, showering the deck with fruit.

As the mighty serpent lunged at the side of the boat Salaracen with perfect timing rose his sword. The head of the beast impaled onto the cruel blade of the Dark Elf. With its last dying moments the beast coughed and spluttered until a huge spit wad of poison splattered into Salaracens eyes.
The beast was dead but at what cost?
Salaracen fell to the deck unconscious, bringing the serpents body on deck a fair bit as well.

 

*Might sighs at Plato's ineptness and takes some water and pours it on Salaracens eyes cleaning out the poison.*

The sea serpent lunges at a young sailor named Bartimaeus, and Bartimaeus, out of luck, stabs his blade into the creature's eye, and doesn't let go. The creature roars in pain and swings his head back and forth in pain, but Bartimaeus still clings on, Bartimaeus then grabs a dagger from his leg sheath and stabs it into the creature's other eye. The creature swings it's head and Bartimaeus lets go, the creature roars and goes in to attack the ship, but misses and is shot with the ballista. The creature roars and goes down into the sea, not dead, but severely injured. Bartimaeus rises with his arm hanging limply at his side. The crew salutes and congratulates Bartimaeus, and Septim walks over to him.

"Good one", says Septim happily.

[[ How you make this  O.o... ]]

[[ Im getting it now ^-^, coolio =]  ]]

[[OOC: Integrate it into the Dark Elven Island]]

[Why the hell do elves always have islands? Dark Elves have CAVES not ISLANDS.]

{[Dark Elves Don't live in caves! We live in the most densely populated cities in the world! You cant keep billions of Slaves in caves....]}

DESCRIBTION!

Snow falling, like tiny diamonds floating in the wind, winter was starting.  A statue of their main religion (any ideas?) is seen behind the biggest dock.  Buildings, 2 to 3 levels high fill the city, and a spirling tower is seen far back, probably where the ruler here lives.

*walks onto the dock and finds the port master*

"Greetings!  How much to dock?"

"Nothing!  We are a kind people, the god Kalert lives for the good!"

"Erm, okay..."

*slides away from guys very slowly*

"Well, I know we must be in the 'Northern Ice' in the Eastern Lands. The only other place where it snows in July is Bronimina, and we are most definitely not in my homeland. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we are here to get this place's gold or something, because there is no other obvious reason."

*Demonsul suddenly noticed almost everyone in the dock had heard that*

"Oh, damn..."
