Pirates

[Ashleg]

YEAH, AMBER, YOU TELL HER...

[MeadowR]

How're yerr suppose' t' swab the deck now??

*Notices the ship and oncoming cannons*

Arrrr, you lily-livered cowards! Come 'ere an' fight, man t' man!

*Manically waves cutlass about*

[Delthion]

The H.M.S. Fortuitous loads grape shot, and fires across the Pirate's deck.

[Ashleg]

CATCH TH' GRAPES AN' MAKE WINE, YE SCURVY SWABS!

[Russa Nodrey]

*Still in beach chair* No thank you, sir. I'm much too young to drink.

[Lady Amber]

YEAH, AMBER, YOU TELL HER...

HOW CAN I TELL HER IF I DON'T KNOW MYSELF.

[Delthion]

* Delthion facepalms at Ashleg's lack of understanding what grape shot is.

[Ashleg]

You always twist things around to make them go in your benefit, so don't facepalm when I do it.

[Delthion]

Fine!

The gun crews of the Fortuitous load chain shot into the cannons and fire, attempting to bring down the fore and main masts of the pirate's vessel.

(It really needs a name. )

[Ashleg]

I hereby christen this ship the Pirates' Vessel!

*a giant shark jumps out of the water and is hit by the cannons*

[Delthion]

(So how much damage was done to your fore and mainmasts?)

[Ashleg]

A little teeny bit.

But the shark died.

[Delthion]

(I'm in a forty gun frigate, the shark can't take all twenty shots from the larboard side... )

[Ashleg]

It was a HUGE shark.

[Delthion]

...fine... (Is the "Pirates' Vessel a sloop, frigate or a brig?)

The Fortuitous, the broadside of the 18 pound carronades booms out and leaving smoke billowing out in plumes. The shots strike home, splinters from the Pirates' Vessel explode through the air.

(So there was damage, but you choose to what and how much. )
