Subject: Krast's explorers and plunderes, over here!

*The vixen stands on the harbour wall in the early morning light, leaning against the gently swaying side of the Waveraider. She watches for all who are coming, waiting. The ship is well provisioned, she has double-checked everything she can think of and all in all Krast is happy.*
Come on, everyone, we haven't got all day! The sun's nearly up!

[> *The searat arrives at the harbor and makes his way across the docks toward Krast's ship, grinning excitedly. He's wearing his usual open black jacket, leather gloves, pikeskin belt, and that gold earring hanging off one ear, along with the small scorpion pendant around his neck. He sits down atop one of the pilings supporting the dock, his tail twitching as the smell of salty mist gets him back into the old spirit of seafaring* It's about time we got out of that sweaty tav and took to the waves again. I was almost beginning to think we all were a bunch of lazy landbeasts. * Shows a toothy grin as he checks his recently sharpened weapons -- two dirks and a short spear* -- Iceclaw Redblaze, formerly of the Scorpion, 14:18:51 07/10/03 Thu

[> [> *Krast grins at the searat and rests her paw on her sabre handle.* Aye, that tavrn is getting too small to hold all of us! Time to go exploring. Anyone else coming? -- Krast, 01:53:05 07/11/03 Fri

[> **The golden-brown wildcat jumped from small building to small building, finally coming to hop onto the wooden plank leading to the ship. He smiled tucking in his furred hands into his black shorts. Taking his hands out he offered a furred golden paw to Krast, revealing a sinewy arm* I'm Heartpiercer, you kin call me HP. It'll be great doing work with ya.**nods to Iceclaw* -- Heartpiercer, 19:02:55 07/16/03 Wed

[> [> *The hedgehog slowly paces his way to the craft taking in its handywork - he is a boatscraftsman himself and knows quality. His glass harmonica catches the red rays of the top half of the rising sun giving a red glow around him* I'll be happy to join you vixen... you aren't prejudiced against creatures of a good nature no? -- Redspike the Wanderer, 04:23:43 07/17/03 Thu

[> [> *Grins at the sight of the wildcat* Good to have a few experienced fighters aboard. *Squints against the morning sunlight as he looks at Redspike* I've seen you in battle and you're good, but I hope you don't mind killing a few of your own kind. -- Icer, 13:01:33 07/17/03 Thu

[> [> [> *Krast takes Heartpiercer's paw and nods.* Glad to have ye along. Got any experiance with boats? *She turns to the hedgehog and is silent for a moment, before shaking her head.* I'm happy to have any good fighting beast with me, as long as they don't turn their coats. Turncoats don't last long in my crew. I'm glad you're coming with us, though. If Icelclaw knows you, that's enough. Right, you three, on board. I'll wait a moment longer to see if Arket comes along, then I'll come aboard and we'll sort out duties etc and get sailing. There are plenty of spare berths, just go and dump your stuff on one of them and come back on deck. -- Krast, 02:40:53 07/18/03 Fri

[> **Frowns to the ground, while making his way towards the boat** That I do... that I do **sighs sadly, but then smiles again** Can't wait to go though. **Takes both knives strapped to his thighs and starts twirling them, while walking** -- Heartpiercer, 14:12:37 07/18/03 Fri

[> *Carries up to the deck a small wooden chest he had brought with him, filled with various random items of loot. Opening the lid a crack, he smiles and peers inside fondly at the leaf-bladed shortsword he kept inside it along with his other treasures.* That's that gift Quickclaw gave me. You remember, don't you, Krast, a couple winters ago? I'm not much of one to fight with a sword -- My talents lie with knives and spears -- but her time'll come eventually, to be sure. *Latches the box again and lays his short spear on top of the flat lid, admiring the spruce-shafted weapon that had served him in battle for years* Now there's the one I owe my life to a hundred times over. -- Icer, 14:40:55 07/18/03 Fri

[> [> *She chuckles as she watches Iceclaw, but shakes her head at his question.* Nay, i haven't been here for several seasons. Don't think I do. *She is silent for a moment, fondling her well-polished sabre hilt. It is an old sabre, well used with three small rubies arranged in the hilt, carved into the grip of an eagle's claw. * Sabre's and daggers do me. This sabre was my mother's. When she was killed I took it. As for my knives, two I took from some hare I killed, a third was given to me and two others I have ...found. *Krast's fangs show in a thin smile as she thinks of her last two daggers.* Any sign of Arket yet from up there, Iceclaw/ I can't see much from down here. -- Krast the Assassin, 02:31:02 07/19/03 Sat

[> [> ooc: Cool, have fun. bic: *Peers across the harbor, then shakes his head* Nah, I don't see him. *Swings himself back over the railing onto the dock* I'll go check the tav real quickly and see if he's there. He may just be still gathering up his stuff. *Makes his way quickly back to the tavern* -- Icer, 12:41:31 07/19/03 Sat

[> [> [> (OOC: OK, have fun! See you then.) *Krast nods as she runs up the gang-plank.* Aye, but be quick, Icey. We'll have to go soon if you want to catch the tide! -- Krast, 05:54:16 07/21/03 Mon

[> [> [> [> *Runs down the hill to the dock with his trunk and cucks it on board before leaping onto the gangplank and bounding up the steps* Well, Im here, did you miss me? Sorry Im late, but I had some people that owed me a few debts, and, can I say, they werent happy to see me, if you know what I mean *winks at the others. Looks Around* Wheres Icey, was that him running towards the tavern just before, I should have shouted out, i thought it looked like him. Oh well, lets get this ship ready to sail hey? -- Arket, 02:12:23 07/22/03 Tue

[> [> [> *Turns around and trudges back, out of breath by the time he gets back to the ship, and heaves himself up on deck* Make me run all the way back and forth fer nothin'....*Grumbles and takes out his compass and puts his nose into the morning breeze, looking for the wind direction* Looks to be wind comin' from the nor'east. Where are we headed, Krast? -- Icer, 10:28:12 07/22/03 Tue

[> [> [> [> *The vixen grins and thumps the grumbling rat on the back.* Well done mate. Er, we're heading south-west to explore the seas out there. And plunder any land we come across! Now, I think we've got everyone. Iceclaw, take the tiller. Arket, take Heartpiercer and let out the main sail. Redspike (that your name?), you and I will haul the anchor up- Iceclaw, you come with us and then when it's up take the tiller. We're short of hands, so everyone has to pitch in and help! Let's go exploring and plundering.. -- Krast, 16:51:13 07/23/03 Wed

[> *Puts one footpaw on the railing for support as he grabs hold of the anchor chain* The southwest seas. Y'know, it's funny, where I come from to the far east -- that is, further east than Mossflower -- beasts thought that Sampetra was as far west as one could go. 'Past the place where the sun sinks in the evening'. How wrong they were, eh? Landbeasts don't know the half of what's out there. -- Icer, 10:33:20 07/24/03 Thu

[> *Hauls himself paw after paw up the rigging, climbing with ease, getting back into the familiar grab pull method of climbing. He had reached the mainsail after an enjoyable minute, and started undoing the sailors knots that were so familiar to him in years past. With four knots down on one side, he moved to the other side along the mainsail, undoing the other knots, he watched as the magnificent red sail unfurled itself. Sliding down a rope to the deck, he grabbed a rope and began tying it down. Looking over to the others at the bow he yells* This is much more fun than living on the land, ay all? -- Arket, 01:20:31 07/29/03 Tue
