Role-Play The Grand Expedition

[Jack Teach]

Jack calls for his quartermaster.

Master Elizah, give that man a cutlass and an unloaded pistol.

The pistol and sword are given to the man. Jack looks to him

Do not injure anyone, only use those weapons during combat. Listen to the quartermaster, he'll take you around the ship.

Jack walks over to vune

What was bothering you earlier?

The men go their stations and the ships sails away

[Meliva]

She looks to the book.

This, is my sisters personal diary. There's something I desperately need to know, and I had hoped that information would be in here. But it appears it is not. At this point, I may need to go to more drastic measures.

She sighs as she stands up and puts on her black mask and speaks

But it is nothing serious. No lives will die, or anyone will suffer from my lack of this knowledge. It is merely a personal quest I undertook, and one I shall fulfill even if it kills me. Is there anything else you would like to ask me about or for? If not, there is places I need to be.

[Jack Teach]

Jack shakes his head

No, and thank you again.

[Meliva]

She just laughs

Your welcome. Though i must admit i feel as if i have forgotten something. Something to do with winter, the Dag, and water. Maybe a horse too? Or was it a man? A centuar? Eh to Hell with it. Speaking of Hell, that will be my next destination. I've checked damn near all over earth for what I seek, and found nothing, so time to go and check down below.

She teleports away, in a puff of flame and smoke. Zephyra looks to the Southwest and calls out.

We should reach the Dag lands In about 2 days.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

Alright. I'll be having a drink or two in the cabin, so you know where to find me.

Jack goes to his cabin and begins to drink. The next day, a sail is sighted off the starboard bow. Jack emerges from the cabin, looking rather happy.

[Meliva]

Before any signals can be sent, the ship immediately fires a volley of cannon shot and sails straight towards them. The people on the ship looking feral and completely insane. They appear to be covered in blood, and warpaint, and they howl as they begin moving toward them. 2 more ships follow, all shouting and howling, as they move to attack. Burt, the native who was forced to join the crew just growls.

Bloody Dag.

Brian and Carl prepare for a battle, as Zephyra just goes to the crows nest to read. She shouts back down

If you need help just shout, but I think you guys got it.

[Jack Teach]

Jack calls:

Clear for action!

In a couple minutes the ship is ready for battle and a red flag is raised, signaling no quarter will be given. The frigate fires its superior 24 pounder long guns at the enemy first enemy vessel sending showers of splinters that kill men. Jack's faster ship sails near the first enemy, firing furious rolling broadsides into her, well placed broadsides with few missed shots. Jack's ship dismasts the enemy, and with the other two enemy ships still several miles off, jack puts on some pistols and holding his sword in one hand and a boarding axe on one hand, he yells as the enemy ship is pulled in:

Boarders away!

Jack jumps on to the deck of the enemy, followed by the boarding party. They meet the enemy crew in battle, hacking, stabbing, punching their enemies. Jack fights like a demon, killing men left and right. They soon kill everyone aboard her. Jack's men set the ship alight and return back to the frigate, jack is covered in blood and is sweating as grinning

Well, that was fun.

The frigate sails forward, preparing to meet the enemy ships in battle

[Meliva]

Some thumping can be heard from below, as a few dozen Dag warriors are swimming in the water, driving spikes into the hulls from below and holding on. The next moment, they all take out airtight bags, smile at the men, and ignite them, blowing themselves up and causing the Spaniard ship to begin to sink. Beneath the waves more are swimming towards the remaining 2 ships. The Dag woman, suddenly realizing that she is not friends with the crew, takes a nearby sailors sword, and cuts the throat of another, Burt, moves in to stop her, his eyes widen as he then smirks and lets her go shouting to Jack with a smug grin.

You said, as I recall do not injure anyone. So, I guess I need to let her go. Don't want to disobey orders.

Before Jack can respond, he jams two wads of cotton in his ears, muffling out any sounds and gives jack the bird, as he stands by watching the Dag woman fight. Zephyra looks at this rather impressed and mumbles to herself

Damn. The fellow isn't as dumb as he seemed. Can't disobey an order if you can't hear it.

With the Spanish ship sinking, Zephrya takes a big breath and quickly freezes the water around it, keeping it from sinking further. The 2 other ships move in closer, as they crew's howl more, and off in the distance Zephyra spots several more ships. Burt laughs at this and shouts

It's a Dag war fleet. Guess they were planning a massive attack on one of their neighbors-and you all got in the way.

[Jack Teach]

jack shoots the dag woman in the back of the head, some brains fly out and she falls dead on the deck. Jack blows the whistle several times, shocking Greg badly. Jack rips the cotton from his ears, looking extremely pissed. Jack barks:

Stand on the quarterdeck and do nothing unless we board or are boarded, then you are to engage the enemy, the dag, and no more cotton or any substance in your ears to block out sound.

Jack has some men take muskets and shoot the oncoming day in the water, as most of their heads touch the surface of the water. They miss a couple of shots, but they are quick loaders and they fire again, killing all but one. Jack's ship continues to sail towards the enemy vessels, jack looks at them with a spyglass. Though they are large, they only carry 12 guns each, and small, outdated six pounders at that.

They are sinkable, most definitely. Still...

How many more ships do we have? I'm rather confused?

[Meliva]

At this point, I think its just Jack's Frigate, Brian's Brig, and the Spaniards ship which just got sunk. Oh, and Leoric's ship, who was Space's character. So, 3 at the moment. Unless im forgetting some from somewhere.

The enemy ships begin sailing towards them, before a sudden gale comes through and stops abruptly. The enemy ships, turn back southwest. a few of them shouting something about Teran taking care of them. Zephyra thinks hard about that muttering to herself

Teran? As in one of the leader's of Plun, no wait she was Terra. Where did I hear that name before.

Brian looks to the fleeing ships before sailing to let the Spaniards board his Brig, Leoric letting some men onto his as well. Zephyra just keeps muttering to herself. Brian calls to Jack

You want to go after them? I don't think they would let us into their lands peacefully.
