With a new day came a new
assignment for myself, Wumbo Wamba Jingles III, and for my fellow convict,
Glib. Our assignment today: To go collect lumber for the castle, located on a
distant island. With this new task also came new companions. I was introduced
to Cirrus, Orguk, and Eilinen. They are all volunteers who willingly decided to
join our party. With Captain Norman leading us and Captain Edward James captaining
the ship, we head off towards the island.
On the way, Cirrus attempts to
convince the wind to help the journey go faster, but she instead makes the wind
goes to a halt. In response, Glib decides to start rowing with all 4 of his
arms. Seeing that we are going around in circles, me and Orguk decide to go row
on the other side of the ship to help us to go straight. While hitting some
rough waves, Eilinen fell over the ship, so Myself and Lillith attempted to
throw a rope to her and help Eilinen get back on the ship. In this process,
Lillith also fell overboard, but they both managed to get their way back onto
the ship.
Then suddenly, a group of sharks
appeared! We handled the sharks with ease, including an amazing front flip onto
an alive shark giving it a deathly blow, done by yours truly. After the sharks
were taken care of, a wave hits the ship and various people fall prone, and our
Captain Edward James II hilariously falls overboard, Captain Norman then
decides he will steer the ship. While I went to the “poop deck” Glib managed to
fall of the ship as well as Captain Edward in an attempt to save him. I then
attempted to help them both by pulling the rope attached to Glib, I then fall
off as well and Captain Edward and Glib were in danger in falling. Using the
strength and teamwork of the party still on the ship, Me, Edward, and Glib
managed to get out of the water and back on the ship.
Finally, we arrived on the island,
and a druid was present. The druid then asked who the leader was and I stepped forward
and claimed the role, me and Glib were both shocked by my expense by Captain
Norman. I felt bad and apologized to Glib, casting cure light wounds to help
him feel better. After we loaded the wood onto the ship, we were back off
towards home. The first day passed uneventfully and I decided to play a tune to
lift everyone’s spirits. Eilinen decided to leave her post on the crows nest,
and then suddenly we are confronted by pirates!
As the Pirate captain and Captain
Edward were having a verbal confrontation, I decided to go below deck and ready
my crossbow. Unbeknownst to myself, Edward decided “fuck it” and rammed into
the other ship, causing me to fall out of our ship, into the pirate ship below
deck, and into a jail cell. While I heard various shots and cannon fire going
off above me, I managed to escape my cell and start a fire. I was unaware that
Captain Edward wanted the ship in prime condition. Eventually, we bested the
pirates with no casualties of our own, and Captain Edward James II received a
brand new, badly damaged, ship.
