We start off in the harbor of Caballo Island. Blessed with land and water, is has become a common area of attack for the nearby pirate forces.
Today, the streets are alive with activity of those who seek to safeguard their homes. Buffaloes and Dogs load the ships, while Gryphons and Pegasi prepare sails. Others bring more material, food and weapons aboard.
Our heroes find themselves near a Constable. He is signing up ponies to head off into danger that they may not come back from.
Are you prepared to sign on the dotted line?

With a great deal of effort from all parties, you finally get it up. Below, the others are applauding. One more step taken to help secure your homes.
A blue and white Pegasus flies over. "Thanks kid, we didn't know if we were going to be able to get this darn thing ready. You assigned to the Vaca here?"
>>509808
The Constable looks you over.
"You've got a sturdy enough build, I suppose. Any experience on a ship?"

"Names Foam, Whispy Foam. I've been a sailor all my life. What about you? Since you helped with this, I'm assuming you decided to sign up?"
>>509816
The Constable sighs. "Well, you seem eager enough. Just sign here if you know how to handle a weapon. Head over to the Santa Vaca. They'll be ready to depart soon."

"One big payout instead of a bunch of little ones, eh? If you stick around, you'll probably like the catered meals too." He laughs.
>>509822
You arrive just in time.
A loud whistle can be heard throughout town. It's time to head out on these ships they managed to get. All the people who aren't going scramble to get off, while those that still aren't on-board rush in with what supplies they brought.
After a few hours of rigging and making sure the ship isn't sinking, an officer gathers both of you and brings you over to a cannon.
The Pegasi asks in a loud voice. "Are either of you familiar with firearms or the operation of this here cannon?"

"Well then, it is up to me to teach you a valuable skill." He bellows. "See that ship there, the one that seems to be joining us? It is a pirate vessel. I will not forget its smell after it attacked my previous ship. Thankfully, this here cannon will make short work of the wretched thing and its crew."
"Now, pick up that rod and give the inside of the cannon a good cleaning. We will do this every time after firing."

"Eager, aren't we? Calm yourself, there will be enough action soon enough. Now, after I load the cannonball, I would like you to take aim with the weapon. You are familiar with how arrows fall over distance, so you should have a wing up on the other, raw, recruits we have aboard."
"Now, take aim, and fire off the first shot."
+2 to this roll because of his help.

+2 to this roll because of his help.
A clean shot that goes through a cabin and out the other side. Not much damage to the ship itself, but your Pegasus Officer is pleased.
"You stupid pirates, I'll make sure you get what is coming for you."
"Now…"
>>509839
"Clean the cannon. We must prepare for the next shot before they get in range."
>>509840
"You, I want you to push in the charge. Hurry now!"
Both of you roll a d10.

"Despite the questionable preparations, I am pleased with your skills." Says the Commander as some poor Unicorns horn lands near his hooves. You managed to hit some enemy powder, blowing out a good chunk of the enemy ship that now aims for you with what it has left.
>>509856
"You said you were good with a crossbow right? Prepare it with a rope so we can board them before they can close on our ship."
>>509859
"If you can get some explosives or some way to distract the enemy, that would be fantastic soldier. The less focused they are, the more we can take down in the first volley."

You hear a mare's scream. She's tough and stops for a moment, put she's still attached to the deck. With your good eyes, you can see the enemy crew approach her and pick her up. They summarily throw her into the water.
"Guess we'll have to really on your rope to keep them from trying to escape. Pick off what you can before we board."
>>509887
The goat grumbles, but your doodad laced explosive will amaze him, don't you think? Now, how will you get it over to the enemy ship, or will you wait till they are close enough to board?

The lines taut, but you look like a kitten dopped up on Cocaine and given all the yarn in the world. But at least it held on long enough for the goat to get through. One last chance at tying it down.
>>509924
You try to light the fuse. Then try again, and again. The smoke from the fire is putting out your matches! You've got an angry Donkey approaching, because he thinks your a suicide bomber. You'll have to fend him off or risk getting hit a few times.

I'll use this to let you summon a Minion for now. A dark parody of a gryphon shows up by your side, but the Donkey isn't dissuaded. What will you do next?
>>509929
Just in time, you've got it nice and secure and the rest of the attacking group starts ziplining over to take out the enemy pirates. But now it's up to you to protect them as they zip over! There are three enemies with their own crossbows taking aim at them!

Before the final blow could be struck, you tore a hole through the deck, flinging your body downwards. You've bought yourself some time, better find a good place to light that explosive.
>>509939
Another one, right in the head. The rocking of the boat flings him off to sea. One more enemy to go and all your soldiers make it safely across.
"Prepare yourselves, Equines! The enemy will be close enough to board us!"

He's hit in the leg, which throws off his aim. He still manages to get one of your soldiers, but you can rescue him from the sea later.
>>509942
Opening the first door, a backdraft knows you off your feet and towards a wall. Be careful with your next move, the wall might give way and you'll be in the sea if your not careful.
"BOARDING!" The pirates yell. Grappling hooks appear, and several Pegasi come from above. Hopscotch, do your best to take down the enemies that have just gotten aboard!

You hand the explosive to the Pirate Gryphon. With a kiss on his beak, you dive out right before the explosion rocks the boat.
>>509960
He moves with incredible grace, cutting into you before you can even anticipate his attacks. If not for the boat jumping into the air for a bit and starting to come apart, he might have done far worse.
The ship's powder stores are blowing it apart, and you can see the rest of your allies swimming back. This was but a small taste of the hazards to come.
Pause.

Pause.
This time, the crew have found several unsuspecting vessels in the darkness. Each one posess a threat to your entire fleet, so you've been sent in by rowboat to sneak aboard.
You'll be rewarded with loot and food from a captured ship, but destruction was the whole point of this trip.
So which ship do you choose to deal with? The smaller ship with more stallions at hooves, or the larger one with more cannons, but higher ranking individuals?
Your Choice.

The Pegasus Commander addresses you before you take off.
"You all have orders to capture the ships, so we can secure the cargo and retrieve any intelligence" he laughs, "from the pirates. However, you've all been given and explosive courtesy of one of our Goat friends. If you think you're outmatched, scuttle their ships. Less for us to deal with is still victory."
Your rowboat is slowly lowered to sea. Roll for high efficient your rowing is.

Not even a hint of sweat on your brow.
Being up to the enemy ship, you and your crew can see several ways in, each with their own problems. You can try and take the deck, but that opens you up to attacks by the Flyers, or you can force yourself through one of the larger windows, but you'll be surrounded any way you look at it.

A silence falls over the ship. Even the wind is at a standstill. They see you slowly pull out the bolt, and the mechanism that accept make a satisfying click. The cable twings a bit, emphasizing what it can do. The shush motion makes them move their head up and down in agreement.

With this hallway cleared, you're left with a few options. Try to locate the Captain and have him surrender the ship, find the powder room and threaten to take the whole ship down, or thin out the pirates on the deck and the two floors below.

It's dark, with fog obscuring up to about 6 feet above the sea. There are a few torches lighting the top and you can see the shadows of at least two moving pirates.
>>517524
There's a Pegasus with you who can help you get onto the balcony, but you'll have to roll for a sneak attack and not falling off. Otherwise, going through the door is safer.

Let's see, fronthooves tied together, check. tie them between her back legs, check. Tie a spare rope to the base of her tail, loop it over a support beam, draw it taut enough that she has to stand on her toes with her chest on the ground, tie it off, and… done.

"Then you'll keep quiet and do as I tell you."
Poke some air holes in one of the jar lids, then stick her in it and put the lid back on. Grab a sturdy-looking wooden box, too. Just in case.
"And for your sake, I hope this doesn't wear off anytime soon. Besides, I don't want to clean up the puddle you'll be if it does."

She yells out some expletives, but what do you have to worry about such a tiny Zebra-mouse? She rocks the container a bit, but settles down for the moment.
After making sure her lid is secure, you hear the Gryphon lady from earlier tip over a bookshelf on the door. Looks like its just you and her now.

"It's about power. Power over others, specifically. You pirates know all about that. Every time you see another ship, every time you capture a trading vessel, you get to choose the fate of that ship's crew. More often than not, you have not been merciful. I can understand why; prisoners are a hassle to deal with, especially when you don't have a legitimate port of call. Killing the crew is the practical thing to do.
For the same reason, most of the rest of the ponies in our fleet would do the same thing. They'd have just slit your throat and killed the rest of the crew on this ship. It's the faster way; far more efficient too.
That's why I take the time to tie you up. It's why I try to spare as many as possible. Not because you deserve mercy, but as a personal test. I need to do things the difficult way, the hard way. Having you bound and helpless before me, your life in my hands… That's what makes it meaningful when I spare your lives. Not because it's easy or convinient, or even fair… but because it's the right thing to do. and I have to test myself, every day, to make sure that when the time comes, I know I'll do the right thing."
Clap my hooves. "And with that little confession out of the way, I think you need some sleep." Crack her in the head with the pommel of my sword to knock her out.

Your enemies might lack formal training, but they've learned a lot in their career here as criminals. Things like how to set up a barricade.
"You ain't taking us alive, you filthy goverment lovers." You hear one yell.
"So please go away, okay?" You hear a voice respond.
"That isn't threatening you know, pay attention." Responds.
There are a few pirates left between you and the Captain and complete seizure of the ship and all it carries.

All the enemy females suddenly freeze in place. You can hear footsteps approach and a door knob that seems to take forever to twist. The door opens to reveal a Massive, lumbering Diamond Dog. He lifts up the Zebra Mare you tied up earlier with just one arm.
"You git, is this what I feed you for!" He ripps off the bindings with no regards to the poor Zebra's flesh. "I'm cutting your rations for this!"

I also take the time to give the only fatality a proper burial at sea, saying a small prayer as he disappears beneath the waves.

Torm's bounty
1 Crystal Pony Rogue.
She is in her 20's. She has stubby little legs and a portly stomach. She's blind, but what's left of her ears function fine.
1 Unicorn Pony Paladin.
Also in her 20's. She's from really far away, as you can tell by her now squeaky accent. Her eyes have an almond-y shape, and her snout is odd, in a cute way, because it's shorter than most. She isn't very brave, as she tends to hide for the most part.
1 Pegasus.
Despite being flighty when you fought her, the Pegasus tends to stick close to the other two. There really wasn't any going back for them anyway. When you offered them some pieces of cloth, she took the orange one.
1. Goat
Barely more than a child herself, she was a victim of Piracy who would be shoved into a brig or worse if you had let her stay back on the ship. The Zebra dotes on her.
2 Zebra.
The Zebra with the shrinking potion is still trying to get away. Unfortunately, she tries to use only the things you give her, which resulted in her inflating like a balloon a few days ago. The Goat pushed her around a bit. The second Zebra is less hopeful. She takes great care of the goat, but there isn't much life in her. Who knows how long she has suffered in these ships? In good news, she's eaten a lot more and is getting rather wide now.
#11 Prisoners Remain.
It's rare to see so many boats linked up like this, but the capture of two vessels necessitates it. Everyone is being reassigned, including our heroes.
You've all been sent to the Persimmon, the small ship that was captured. The Officials in charge of this expedition have decided to send all the mercenaries, hunters, and other assorted undesirables into the small ship.
Climbing aboard the small ship, you can see an unkempt Earth Pony trying to handle everyone.
You can also head off towards the improvised barracks if you're tired. They'll be sending staff down there shortly.

"The Fliers, they got two options. Gryphons got those hand things, so their wings got clipped for now. The Pegasi, I just hope they can lift real good. They've got a cannonball strapped to them. Even if they flew off, they'd just sink to the bottom if they landed in water or just starve even if they made it to land."

There are a few ponies still checking the beds when you get down to the second level. They point you towards a few cots they've inspected to make sure there aren't any surprises. There are several trunks you can stack to make a wall.
A prisoner with a shaved mane and cut horn walks in.
"Hello Master, can I get you anything?"
Roll for perception.
>>521451
12 of them did. You already have the papers stamped. You just need to wait to get back to get your prize. But that's still a long way off.
"Most of these are the ones who aren't in a good a condition to work. They may be dirty pirates, but even we have some standards. Any that the crew, or more specifically, you, don't take, will be sold at auction. You caught them, you get to take your pick. Looking for anything specific, or would you like me to pick for you?"
>>521453
There are 4, but Sylt is dropping, so it's you, Campfire, and BDN.

"Servant work. Not much for heavy lifting, but they do what you say, since they can't really hope to run away. They step too far away from you, and."
The captain makes the motion of knife going through his throat.
"We've got one of each, if you're looking. We've got a Gryphon and a Pegasus if you're looking for one who can fly with you, but it's up to you in the end."
>>521466
She walks up to the terrarium where you are keeping the others.
"Please, I'll do anything, just don't make me go back in there."

"He's not much to look at, and it'll take some time before her can really get into the air, so all he has right now are some chains." He calls out, and a Diamond Dog sailor brings one out for you. He isn't struggling much right now.
#Name: Lappet
This is a Male Gryphon, trained as a Knight/Bard. This Gryphon is in their late 40s and hails from rather close by. Noticeably odd ears are a prominent feature, along with their great abundance of Dexterity. The Gryphon has a strong constitution and uses a sword and shield as their primary weapon. Its favorite color is purple. This character's vice and virtue usually are Gluttony and Temperance.
The character is penniless, as in free samples, free hugs, free shrugs, garbage, partially owing to their Doggeland ancestry. The mother, remarried, while the father is still healthy. They were raised with two brothers and two sisters.
>>521477
You look into the terrarium, and then remember that the potion has to be applied regularly. Your unicorn isn't in there.
"Just tell your servant Viatka what you want me to get for you. Just don't put me back."

He bows his head. You can see a lot of damage from his beatings. He might be humble now, but he might not have hesitated to kill you just last night.
"Yes, my lady."
The Diamond Dog gives you the chain and leads you both downstairs. He shows you to your 'room.'
"Don't get too comfy with him. If it were up to me, he'd have been drawn, quartered, and barbequed. He deserves no less for being a dirty pirate."

"Hmph, I took to the drink. Wound up without much, like all sob stories. When the Pirates offered a job, I jumped at the chance. When you're poor like that, you take anything that pays."
He tugs on his collar.
"You, how did someone like you get into this business?"
>>521534
She starts sweating.
"Of course Master. I'd never think of that. You're so merciful, I was just wondering where you came from."

Not much right now. Just a cot connected to a wall. Your servant begins stacking some of the supplies that have been brought aboard into a makeshift wall for you.
>>521596
She bows. "Yes Master"
She tries to use her magic to lift them, but it looks like she's just making angry faces at them.
Would you like to move on to some combat then?

All except the Unicorn. It's obvious she's a slave, since they've cut her mane, tail, an ear, her horn has been damaged, she's branded where her tramstamp is, and she's got chains. The other are in a small terrarium.
>>521658
There's a few more things that they add when making these types, but that is their function. Unicorns have to many options to escape any type of imprisonmnent, as you can attest with your ability to Teleport.

"When we were taking the ship, one of the zebras started throwing some kind of potion at me. I force-fed it to her, and she shrunk. Now that she's told me how to make it, I can make as much as I need. Most of them I just shrunk to make them easier to transport."
>>521680
I doubt it's impossible, but I get the idea. How much privacy will I have when I finish stacking the chests?

With the chests up, you might actually get a little more privacy than a room since you can stack them and add stuff in them to keep noise out.
However, it lacks a door, so anyone can pass by and see you. The Captain mentioned you'll get room once they make sure there aren't spare weapons in them.
>>521689
The potion wears off within a week, depending on factors like Race and Mass.

All the Prisoners are bound to the ship. Literally, chained to it to make sure they have some incentive to keep it afloat.
Those taken as slaves can go around the ship, but they'll be harassed the whole time (they are criminals). Once off the ship after the mission is done, they'll be permanent slaves and be bound to any laws of that wherever you go. Remember, they are branded and physically altered, there won't be any pardons for them.
>>521719
He has claims on 6 of them here:
http://mlpg.coph/509787+50.html#520566
With Lappet taken, there are 10 remaining and you can take 5 more.

"Oy, you heard the lady!"
The Diamond Dog from earlier pulls them out. Without much care, he clamps down their collar and ball.
"Don't be getting any ideas. She gives the word, I get a free lunch." He licks his lips to emphasize.
"You want me to take 'em down for you?" He asks.
>>521757
The Pegasus has wrapped herself in the little orange cloth you gave her. You can see the Goat's hind legs sticking out of the other end.
The Zebra that gave you the potion is floating around again, her hooves kicking against a non-existant floor.. Gravy the Zebra is just eating while looking at you.
Viatka returns with the ingredients.

Not very, the Officials in charge of this expedition made sure of that. You only have the bare minimum of trained sailors, the rest made up of bounty hunters and mercenaries and other undesirables. They'll probably ask that you help around to make sure the ship doesn't sink.
Except for Hopscotch and about 4 other sailors making sure to look the ship over, you have the entire floor to yourself.

"There's a room this ship had come with that no one used, you could try it."
He leads you to it, and opens the door.
"When they captured the ship, we just threw things in here."

The potion can be whipped up in no time. You have to follow the instructions exactly to get the magic in their, but it's the same as following a recipe.

>>521860
"Good enough. Here,s how it goes. First we clean it out with some water. We don't want anything hot or flammable in there right now. Second, we'll get this cotton mass and clean it, leaving it nice and dry. Third, put in the powder. Pack it tight. Finally, get the cannonball in there and fire. Understood?"

"It'll have to do for now. We go over them once we hit land and fresh water. In the meantime, we don't want them to blow on us."
"Now, show me you remember what to do and show me. What's the first thing we do?"
Roll for how good a job you do.
>>521879
"Yes, of course."
She lowers her head bit by bit, just barely above the water.

>>521904
"We were poor, so I always stole stuff, even hurt a few ponies. Got caught and shipped out to sea. Pirates hit our ship and when they offered to let us join, I flew aboard thinking I'd get more out of life. Now look at me."

"See, at least someone else on this ship has their head screwed on right. Thanks for your time and don't forget this. We barely have enough crew as it is, we'll need everyone to put their hooves into making this ship sail."
I'll be pausing soon. Go ahead and complete anything you were working on.

They look at each other. If they thought it was poison, they take to it eagerly.
You can see it take effect. Their fur and feathers stand on end, and in the blink of an eye, there no longer standing in front of you.
Looking down, you can see them on the floor. Their gear, while still normal sized, lies on top of them, inhibiting escape.

"Please don't eat us!" They squeak.

She struggles a bit to smile, then she changes. She starts oggling at you.
"Whatever you say, Master, your slave will do."

*sigh* damnit. That means I'll have to be careful in the future with how far I push her. Point at the bed. "Get on."
Once she's on, use some of the ropes beneath my bed to strap her forehooves against her chest, tie her hindlegs together, and of course, a loop to pin her tail to her back.

"I'm a little dissappointed, actually. I think I accidently triggered some suppressed mental response; one minute she was all unsure and hesitant, the next minute she was in full-on "break me, master" mode. It was really creepy."

"Ah, found it! Here you go!" Pass her the water bowl.

It's almost noon time when you're new orders are stamped and handed to you.
You've all been sent to the Persimmon, the small ship that was captured. The Officials in charge of this expedition have decided to send all the mercenaries, hunters, and other assorted undesirables into the small ship.
Climbing aboard the small ship, you can see an unkempt Earth Pony trying to handle everyone. He's got a clipboard and is looking at some of his notes, occasionally looking up and around.
You can also head off towards the improvised barracks if you're tired. They'll be sending staff down there shortly.

Downstairs at the moment, is rather active. A couple of sailors are moving supplies everywhere. The rooms you'll be assigned later are being inspected. A good number of Pirates were spared the Plank but forced into working on the ship, and they don't want any surprises.
There's some spare area where you can claim a cot and start working on maintaining your blade.
There's a Diamond Dog hauling a few chained up ponies. He's tugging on their chain, but they seem hesitant to follow him down other stairs.

The Unicorn and Zebra he's trying to pull stop struggling.
"We don…" The Diamond Dog tugs and gets them to move a little.
"We're…" A second tug gets more distance out of them.
"They just want to cause any last bit of trouble, the scum. Thought they could ride the life of piracy, and the worlds just settling in on them. Just help me push 'em down. They need a few more shackles on 'em."

"We don't want to go down there with the others. We know what they'll do to us." Responds the Unicorn. Her horn has been cut off. At the stump is an iron ring.
"We're willing to take any option that keep s out of there, anything, please." Adds the zebra. Both equines have had their manes cut, and their tram stamps have a brand burned on them.
The Dog interjects. "Is that what you want? I can give you to the Gryphon here. She gives the word, and we're having your ribs for dinner." He turns to you. "Whatta you say? You want me to sign these two over to ya? Boss says they ain't fit right now for work, but you can do what you want with them if you sign his papers."

The Dog tugs at their chains, less to move them and more to remind them whose in charge.
"We've got the Pirates all locked up down there while check the area. After the all clear, we'll make 'em work the dirty jobs. UNDER SUPERVISION." He looks at the two mares, points at his eyes, then at them. "They ain't gonna be free anymore in this life, so they can either serve this ship, or someone like you can take them as your servants. They can't run away, any copper with half an eye will quickly know they were dirty, murderous pirates."

They can't run away, any copper with half an eye will quickly know they were dirty, murderous pirates."

"They should'a thought about that when they were raiding out towns. Come with me, the Captain needs to sign off on 'em.
He turns to the mares. "Get out of line once, break any rule, and your life are forfeit, got it? Do what he says, or you get to meet Davy Jones."
He leads you outside and let's the Earth Pony Captain know you've claimed the two.
"If you're willing to take these two, you'll need to know this. It's what we got out of them and we'll have their home papers adjusted to show their crime."
#Servant: Singer
This is a Female Unicorn, trained as a Mage/Smith. This Unicorn is in their late 20s and hails from kind of far off. Noticeably larger arms/front legs are a prominent feature, along with their lack of Intelligence. The Pegasus has a weak constitution and uses a bow as their primary weapon. Its favorite color is yellow. This character's vice and virtue usually are Greed and Fortitude.
The character is destitute, only able to afford terrible food, damaged or defective items, partially owing to their Lethuanian ancestry. The mother, still healthy, while the father has passed away. They were raised with five brothers and three sisters.
#This is a Female Zebra, trained as a Monk/Smith. This Zebra is in their teens and hails from a very close town. Noticeably smaller teeth are a prominent feature, along with their abundance of Confidence. The Zebra has a capable constitution and uses a pair of daggers as their primary weapon. Its favorite color is orange. This character's vice and virtue usually are Envy and Charity.
The character is of below average wealth, purchasing basic weapons, basic food, a night at an average inn, drinks at the pub, and most repair services, partially owing to their Saddle Arabian ancestry. The mother, still healthy, while the father is still healthy. They were raised with four brothers and two sisters.
"You'll still have to lock them up at night or when you don't want them with you. Need anything else? I've got a few more I wouldn't mind taking off my hooves."

No private quarters right now, but they'll be issued soon. Best you can do is stack up some supplies and make a wall to cover your sides, but anyone passing will still be able to look in.
There's just a few sailors shuffling around and another group of ponies talking, but they seem to be preoccupied and can't be talked to right now.

They look at each other, but then sigh. You can feel the despair.
The Unicorn starts. "I've shot into crowds, since I'm not exactly built for getting in close." She's scrawny, not much meat on her. The bruises after the sailors beat her look fresh.
The zebra looks at you, attempting to put on some airs of strength. "I'm a pirate, what do you think we all did? Does it matter now? You're our Master now."
Another Unicorn slave bumps into you. "Forgive me, My Lady." She rushes to the back to ruffle through some containers. You notice she dropped a note.

"Yes, My Lady." Replies the Unicorn.
"We understand, Master." Adds the Unicorn.
Despite the display of your abilities, you'll still have to tie them up at night, either at your cot for now, or have them locked up at the bottom of the boat. The other option is to use the potion if you want to keep them free of chains, but the Sailors won't allow them much else.

"I would prefer it if you were bound by no chains other than your own commitment, but the sailors will not allow you to go unchained at night. So at those times you shall stay with me, and at all other times no tangible chains will bind you. Is that understood? Now, what are each of your skills? Can any of you maintain armour and swords? Cook, or make tea?"

Amadi, the Zebra speaks up first. "Anything requiring strength is something I can do. It's something I've done all my life. I ask that you take Singer here," she points at the Unicorn, "and teach her anything you'd like her to do. She can be slow, at times, but when she learns something, she never forgets."

You shouldn't waste such good tea on these two. Or perhaps you're able to bring out the best in even base tea materials?
Nonetheless, its quality can not be denied and neither can your abilities.
The Zebra speaks up again. "Master, it is getting dark soon, will you bring our chains here, or?" The Unicorn Mare looks at the door leading down and shudders, but quickly returns to a submissive position.

They bow their heads. You are now responsible for these two servants.
One of the Pegasus you worked with earlier passes by with a bird cage and gets into a conversation with the Unicorn Spellsword who helped take the deck.
After some food is brought, the crew turns out the lights and prepares to sleep.

Sigh and rub my temples. "Looks like I have work to do." I start rummaging through my chest of belongings as I talk to the still-bound Viakta.
"You should stay here and wait for the all-clear - don't think you'll have trouble following that instruction. Don't want you getting bored while I'm gone, do we? Right, gag means you can't talk - ah, here we are! This should keep you entertained till I get back." A faint buzzing sound comes from the object as I turn it on and place it. "Now, the charge is good for a few hours, so just relax and enjoy the ride. I'll be back before you know it!"
That taken care of, I grab my sword and make my way to the top deck.

The Sharkpony dives back into the water and removes the two bolts from the Nautilus, which then takes the chains attached to them and starts pulling your ship faster than the wind could carry it.
Feel free to faff for now.

He lifts up the bigger pieces of the Nautilus shell the ponies on the cannon blasted off. He starts positioning them on you.
"He's so old now that he won't be shedding much anymore. Think about it, eve your biggest weapons only managed to shatter it, but lots of pieces remain. He'll probably rebuild what he has and never lose it again."

"Porifera really likes the thick, murky water. So many things to filter and taste. You should see when that happens." He stops, "If you could dive deep enough. The light goes away, so it might be too much for you."
He drops back into the ocean.

Sit down next to him. "Well, I asked her if we could meet again sometime, get to know each other, right? One of your brothers said she likes feeding in thick murky waters, so I have some ideas for food… what other sort of things does she like? I'd like to leave a good impression, considering the whole "trying to kill each other" thing, you know?"

"Heheheh. I thought you would. Still, after what I just went through I need my sleep, so playtime's over for now." I turn the toy off and wrap it in a towel, sticking it back in the chest. I can clean it off later.
Snuggle up against Viakta. "Wow, you're almost as soaked as me! Need a drink?" After a moment, I remember to remove the gag so she can respond.

I can't help but smile at my handiwork as I bring a canteen of water to her lips and gently help her swallow it down. "Drink up, girl. You need your hydration after something like that.
Still, I suppose I'll need to let one of the other girls out while you recover. Don't worry, I'll get some cushions to put next to the bed for you to recover on."
Look into the terrarium as I consider who I want out next.

Whisper to them. "You can all come out now, the crisis is over. Big Nautilus attacked the ship with a bunch of seapony minions. Banged us up pretty good, but we got him in the end. By the way, like my new plating?" Physical proof that I (for all they knew) killed a Nautilus should go a ways in keeping them in line.

"Girls, you should know by now that I always come out on top." Wince and rub my shoulder. "Doesn't mean I don't get banged up along the way. Dang thing hit pretty hard." Looking between them, I finally decide on the crystal pony.
"Citrine, your last dose of potion should wear off sometime tomorrow. Instead of giving you another dose today, I'm going to let the potion wear off so you can replace Viakta while she recovers."

"Excellent. Now, excuse me while I go take a nap to recover from that battle." Yawn widely as I snuggle up against Viakta. "Should probably check for leaks when I wake up."
"Oh, I met a girl. Porifera. Nice girl, hope I get to meet her again. Bit shy though."
…I wonder how Sponges fuck. If I play my cards right, I'll have fun finding out.

After a few hours, your Nautilus-pulled ship is currently faced with a dilemma. The dock the seaponies mentioned, turns out to be two, both occupied by pirates.
Echi lets you know of what they saw. One is a smaller island, not very fortified, but the land ponies were acting weird, at least the ones his brother saw. The one he found had a really big fort on it, to his eyes, and the pirates there were moving in a really tight school.
The Captain sees either option as legitimate, and gives the mercenaries he's going to send out to fight the option to choose which.
So, what will it be? The weird island or the fortress?

"Understood," The Captain says. "We'll say goodbye to the Seaponies and sail in under our own strength when its darkest. Get some rest, there's a chance it'll be your last."
The getting rest part turned out to be a lie, because all the sailors prepared for battle. Getting cannons set up, preparing food, and moving what they could.
The ship stops as soon as the island is in sight and sends you off with a small row boat. There are plenty of explosives, ropes, and materials for any plan you can think of to get inside.
So, how will you?

Plenty of small windows to shoot out of, and the top of the wall has a few soldiers patrolling. They're a good distance away from each other, judging from how far away from each other the torch light is. They aren't expecting an attack, they're just doing their duty.

Despite the impressive fortification outside, the inside of the place is pretty bare bones. Some of the huts are barely standing, and most of the pirates are drunk or asleep. There's a lot of them, and fighting them all is not going to be possible, even if you have their boss by the throat.
You'll have to think of some way to distract almost all the pirates here so they don't rush in when you fight their commander.

That could work, but an individual orb isn't that bright. You'd have to gather quite a few, toss them into the air together, and then watch as the Pirates descend on the beacon, you.
But that's only if you do it in the middle of the place, right now. You could take out the Commander and do it afterwards, but that has its own difficulties.

A little fire goes a loooong way.
The materials stored in the distillery quickly catch fire and burst, setting everything nearby on fire. With the ramshackle materials they used to build the inside, it doesn't take long to start smoking.
At the same time, getting the levers to move is harder than you anticipated, but it is giving.

Perhaps it is the hate propelling you, but you manage to get some damage into both. This time, they can't hurt the Buffalo running around.

Your combined actions push the wife against the wall, buying the sailors enough time to get inside and help you hold her down. She won't be escaping.
>>523849
The guilty have been punished. You sever the head in one clean slash.
Despite the Buffalo's strength, the sheer number of sailors means even she can not stand much longer. Removing the armor to bind her, there are numerous cuts and sutures visible on the body, and a few notable ones on the end.
Any other investigation will have to wait till the next day. For now, let the sailors and soldiers do their job and round up what is left.

The sailor is apprehensive. She's far more massive than even the biggest buffalo you've seen out in the world.
"I, I don't know how something like that can be a victim. I don't want to meet whoever did that to her."
>>523856
No evil can stain your blades. They flow back into their sheaths like it was water.

The sailor steels himself. "I have a daughter, she could have been her then if the pirates took her. I'll kill them all before they can even reach our home."
>>523859
"Who would do this to begin, and what kind of armorer would make that?"
He grabs a cloth. "This worked on my neighbor's kid." Putting it over her head, the buffalo seems to calm down.

He paused for a moment to think.
"Listen, you mercs did good. I wouldn't like you otherwise, but I'm glad you're on our side. We're cleaning up here and setting up some beds, get some rest. If you left stuff on the ship, forget about it for now. The Captain is being paranoid and won't let anyone back on."

On today's voyage, you find yourself running with only the bare minimum crew. Fearing the Plague, only a few volunteered to go on this mission.
The Island has been spotted and they've confirmed the ponies walking weirdly. You have a few minutes to prepare while your rowboat is prepped and the ship is anchored.

"Suppose that's our best bet for any answers. Half of the crew is with us, the other half stays and guards the boat. If you're attacked, shove off and wait offshore until we get back. We don't need to lose the only ride off this island."

"Come on, I'll show you where they are. We'll be having cake soon! Chocolate!"
He hops along, leading you towards an outcropping. There are numerous people tied to the floor, in cages, or just wrapped in an absurd number of chains. They stay quiet as you approach.
"See, everyone is here! So its the living room! Everyone, Auntie and Grandpa are here!"

You are quite certain you could take on all the children here at once. If the adults weren't locked up so tightly, they might pose a risk.
"Sis, you gotta be careful. You can't eat yogurt like that." The Donkey fits one of the mares with a feedbag. Lots of the ponies here have them on.
>>524356
"MOMMY, I WANT MY MOMMY!"
4 of them appear around you, causing the locked up children to scream.
"LEAVE US ALONE!"

Primitive. Many of the cages are made from wire and wood you could scavenge from a wrecked ship. The chains are attached to logs, chests, and to whatever piece of debris heavy and sturdy enough their captors could find.
>>524361
"Please, let us go!"
"I want to see my family again!"
"I'm the only one who can work, my mother will starve if I'm not there!"
"Mercy! I beg of you!"
"MOMMA!"
They all erupt into screaming, including the adults.

"*Ahem.* Thank you. Now, my name is Torm. I am a professional sellsword, hired to hunt down every pirate this side of the mainland. In other words, the cavalry has arrived. Please remain quiet until all our questions are answered, and this will all be over in a timely manner."
Single out one of the chained adults. "You there. What is your name?"

"…Ah. This is why it's always important to say exactly what you mean." Remove my blade and start untying him.
"Now hold still while I untie you. Stupid rotapples seemed to think throwing on as many chains as possible made you more secure… Sloppy, is what it is. Sloppy and unprofessional…"

They take off towards the dock.
And then run back behind you.
"Wells, wells, wells, what, do we have here Toggen? Heh, heh, heh…"
"Looks like a jailbreak to me, Saan."
"No matter, we will rectify this."

There is a goat, Sann. He's got two ugly knives.
A pegasus pony stands next to him with a bow, Toggen.
Finally, a big, meaty Buffalo with a great sword.
"Hey, Gilani, can we teach them all a lesson?" The Pegasus asks the buffalo.
It responds with a snort.

Stand over him as I begin tying him up with the chains. "Now, you loop like this-" Wrap a length around his neck. "-Go over the standing part, loop it under-" complete the knot around his neck, then set it up so that every time he pulls at the restraints it tightens. "-and pull it tight."
Keep from completely suffocating him, but make sure he's feeling it. "This knot is important because it's next to impossible to untie once it's pulled tight. I'd advise you to stop struggling if you value your ability to breathe."

>>524422
There were a few chests they were using as weights. Maybe it was in there?

You find a log. It's big, and you're sure it can do some damage. If only you had the strength to lift it.
>>524428
You find where they were stashing some of their recent loot from captured ships. Underneath a tree, a little into the woods. They were probably thinking about selling these off themselves to make more money.
Most of it is starting to rust from being exposed to the elements, but they're functional.
Of course, there are a few nice looking, ornamental weapons you could pilfer with no one being the wiser. They'd be worth a pretty bit or two.
>>524429
You find it along, with the rest of their stolen gear. On top of that, you find a few bits lying around and a nice box of ammunition and powder.

More people in cages. Lots more kids this time. There's a Gryphon, a Unicorn, and a Diamond dog with weird clothes looking at the doors and windows.
>>524446
Correct. Some have additional cuts elsewhere, but they'll take more than your kisses to make the pain go away.

You look over at the three blocking your way.
The Gryphon has a pair of Crystalline wings sown onto it.
The Unicorn has visor, obscuring its eyes and surrounding its horns. There are needles everywhere, with a strange metal arm on its back.
The Diamond Dog is missing an arm. In its place is what can only be described as an oversized swiss army knife.
They're all shaking their heads.
"Oh, care to share notes?"
"Sister, don't respond like that."
"What, they might be just what we're looking for."
"If you can get through our little "projects" there, we'd be glad to meet you."

"Of course, where is our education?"
There's a filly strapped to an operating table.
"We'll be with you shortly."

But they seem to be burning.

You're free, but Knox is completely frozen over.
>>524500
Hope you have good lungs, because even your beak is covered in ice.
>>524501
5 swirl around you. But the Blue Pony is looking at you and there is an ominous magical mass forming in front of her.
Fuego manages to burn out of her manacles.

>>524503
Finally free. Get back into the fight!
>>524504
The magic is a charged spell, it doesn't even block your orbs. You barely manage to avoid Hopscotch's arrow when hitting the blue one.
>>524505
Careful! You almost hit Torm. And you failed to watch out for Fuego's magic.

Their hoof shoes glow, and then where there were two Earth ponies is now one Massive Warhorse.

Good Work Hopscotch, you managed to prevent Torm from getting run over for now, but she isn't as hobbled as she was last time.
>>524530
Her face is exposed, but only on her sides.
Her flanks have weaker armor so she can run properly, those could be a few good areas to strike.

Good hit, you actually managed to send the beast to its knees.
>>524538
A satisfying sound could be heard as you managed to knick her armor.
>>524539
The armor is barely hanging on to them.
And with that, the two Earth Ponies reappear.

But I'm just as tough as that jerk! I'm staying right here.
>>524571
I wince.
"Yeah… I have trai- er, I- I mean, I've learned some stuff from bandaging myself after a fight!"
I walk over to the colt and look him over.
>>524573
>>524574
"Hey! Careful!"
I gently remove the kid from Torm's hold and put her back on the table, dropping my voice to a whisper.
"I- I don't really know what to do… Don't Die On Me? Please?""

"I don't think you're where you think you are. Pirates abducted you, and my associates and I are here to correct that wrong. There were some… disturbing ponies downstairs; I suspect it was those hag's handiwork. Could you tell me more about that?"
>>524583
"Never doubted you for a minute."
>>524584
Go over and try the hug thing again. "Welcome back, shrimp."

"They would open up people and do terrible things to them. Said they were trying to unlock secrets or make a better pony, but they kept changing their answers. A lot of them were really messed up when they were down. We were worried we were next."
The little pony's nose is running. She nods and smiles.

"Do you think there's any hope for those ponies?"
"Stick with Knox here, okay? He'll keep you safe."
>>524589
"Not a different tune, just a clearer message. Before I was pointing out details and technicalities; it's how I was taught. Criticism gives you guidance on what needs improving; it's a sign of respect that I believe you are capable of self-improvement. I am sorry if it came off as dismissive of your skills."

"Right." Look over at the two hags on their surgery tables. "…Get the kids out of… No." Shake my head; pointless retaliation has no place here. "Get the kids outside. There's another group of refugees on the beach. We need these two alive- for now. Could some of the adults help me transport them?"
