The ship has returned to the fortress they had seized to unload the captured citizens. With no worries of the plague, the crew is going on with their business to prepare for the next push.
The whole facility is available to you, but you can talk to the Earth Pony Captain if you have any questions about what you will be doing next or you can go about the ship as you please. Your rooms are now available to be used and the Armorer has cleaned up some of the pieces you have looted.

"Right now, we are just taking count of our supplies and seeing what we'll do with all these people. We might have to send a ship back, since we don't know what the future holds. But the other mercenaries told me you fought with them, is this true? Would you like to keep doing so?"
>>525415

Their food bowl is rather low. There's a few fruits that you were able to acquire from the island that you could offer if they accept their doses.

"Then you'd be willing to sign on to keep fighting? I've got plenty of sailors, but few of them can stomach battle. If you sign up, you'll be offered more privileges and pay."
>>525418
They look at each other for a moment, then bow their heads and wait in the center of the cage.
"No objections, mistress."

You'll only be able to keep one of them big constantly, a second one can stay big for a day, but there's going to be a lot of movement and action, so the crew would prefer not to have to deal with them as much as possible. However, you are docked right now and you can let them all stay normal sized.
>>525421
It takes a bit of work because your hoof is bigger than they are, but they soon take it in and eat some of the fruit you put in there. They'll be ready to go out when you are, but don't forget to leash them.
>>525422
"The Pirates, of course. From those we've captured, we've been attacked by an organized group. Lots of other places have been hit. We could use your help to safeguard our homes and shipping lanes."

"Hmm, if you're getting sick, go see the doctor while we have a chance. I have a few papers you can fill out to properly join us. I'll be offering the civilians we saved the chance to fight, but I don't think we'll have many takers."
He presents you with a few forms that ask for the basics, name, birthplace, next of kin in case of death. Sign it and you'll be an official part of the crew.

"I, I am fine Master. I'm just grateful you were able to prevent the ship from being sunk."
She takes a few deep breathes to calm herself, lowering her voice, smiling, and approaching you.
"I really, truly, am grateful that you are my master."
>>525433
"Many of the sailors here are youths who signed up for adventure, most of the ones who were actually educated are officers or near there in the other ships. Don't worry though, we recruited them in town and already sorted out through them."

She gulps in some air.
"You are my Master. You can do whatever you wish to your servant."
She bows her head to you. Her clipped horn and ear are visible.
>>525467
>>525468
I'm not good with PVP, how about best out of 5? Just roll against each other, the highest number wins. So far, Hopscotch is winning.

"So, one more time. What was your impression of that experience? What parts did you enjoy or not enjoy, was there a point where it stopped being enjoyable, or were you miserable the entire time?"
Not expecting anything but vague or non-direct answers, such as whether she liked ropes, chains, or hates being confined period sort of thing. Sorry for dragging you down this minefield.

"Now that was a good answer." Gently cup her jaw in my hoof so that she's looking me in the eyes.
"I won't lie, my tastes are a bit unusual, so you will be spend time in ropes. However," cut off any protest with a hoof to her lips as I continue, "that does not mean every time will see you restrained, and I'll be sure not to use such absolute-restraints on you. Unless you're being punished, of course."

"Let's. I need the excitement. These pirates have been tamed, maybe you'll be fun."
He leads you back onto the deck of the ship. He tosses you a few rags and rope.
"The Captain won't like me tearing his new pet catbird apart, so put those on so neither of us uses our claws. I'll be a good sport and let you take the first swing."

"Of course. Now, I was just checking up on you before taking care of something else. When I get back, I'm going to take you all to help me with something, so you'll want to wrap up what you're doing in about half an hour."
As I leave, pause at the door. "If you decide to spend some of that time working on your plot to kill me, please keep it at whispered volume. I'd rather not have to deal with any incidents due to you being overheard."
With that, turn and leave before they have a chance to respond.
I don't know for a fact if they're plotting to kill me… but I'd be making plans if I was in their position.
Anyway, I'm headed for the Smith to check on that gear we scavenged.

The room goes silent. Even quieter than it was before.
Going outside, the Smith is a massive Donkey. He only lifts his head to look at you for a moment before going back to his hammering.
"So, what'a you looking for here?"
>>525533
You alternate a bit between growling and then returning to breathing. He laughs again.
"Come on, I'll show you to one of the rooms before you make yourself pass out."

"Obe. It is Germane. Now, the rooms we have left aren't all that to write about. We checked them for hidden weapons, but you'll have to deal with the dust and all that. If you bring any servants here, you can really only fit one or two, any more is a hassle for us to deal with."
>>525538
"Something like it. I had to melt a few and break pieces of other, but I think I managed to outdo myself."
#You can pick any one weapon type and add a +1 to it for standard actions.

"Oh, the Captain didn't tell you? As a Merc who goes out and fights, you get dibs on any of the Pirates we were going to sell. The law lets us have them walk the plank and anything else with scum like them, so making them work for the rest of their stupid lives is a mercy they don't deserve. You can come talk to me if you want any."
>>525541
#Sword added to Inventory
"That one is a combination of three other swords I had to melt. Glad you like it. Put down a few pirates for me." The Donkey says.

You overhear some of the crew talking about the new gryphon that was on the ship.
"You see those two? The Boss got over confident, and that Gryphon showed him what for."
"I'm just glad the catbird is on our side in that case. Wonder how many pirates he took out before they locked him down?"
>>525546
The Dog heads down to the hold, it's just you and your new room now, with a few sailors and Servants walking about.

This time it's garbled, but you'll definitely like what you hear, about how lucky they are to have you and that they are starting to really, really like you.
Of course, it could be other conversations you are picking up on, because eavesdropping on a crowded ship is still a bad idea.

"Not much, but some of the metals on it are getting rusty. I can fix those, and if you don't mind me experimenting, I might be able to make them a bit more reliable."
>>525566
Naught but some sea shanties, but you do make out that your servants are approaching the door. Make yourself presentable.

Outside, there's a sailor with a bunch of kids around him. The kids are trying to peek into the Smith's shop.
>>525569
And you are out of sight.
"Girls, did you see that?"
"See what?"
"There was a flash, but it was probably some glare. I'm going to go get some extra cloth."

"Oh, its him!" Says a pegasus filly.
"He's big." A goat kid jumps up and down.
"Calm down, just relax, don't bother the nice gryphon." The sailor says.
>>525572
It's the Zebra mare that gave you the potion, Crawshay. She's darting between the supplies, grabbing cloth from them all. She's got quite a mouthful.

>>525575
She looks around, then runs back in. The door is shut quickly.

It's still a nice and bright day. With all the people you helped rescue, this fortress could be mistaken for a small town with all the people wandering about.
You can see the Captain and the Navigator talking over some maps. Obe, the Diamond Dog guard, is supervising the movement of supplies. There's a Crystal pony carrying a few noticeable supplies, and Pegasus overhead dealing with the sails.

She walks up to Obe.
Obe: "So you want to sign up to sail with us? There's payment involved, but there's a good chance you'll get hurt. You okay with that."
She clears her throat. "I was shoved into a cage with lots of other scared ponies. I can't do much, but I can cook for you. Real meals, I know what you sailors consider food."
Obe: "You know the risks. Let me sign you up. Name?"
"It's Iolite." Replies the Crystal pony.
Obe: "I can call some of the cabin kids to help with, that." He points at her bag, nearly bursting at the seams with cooking utensils.

You do surprisingly well for the first few steps, but that might have been the adrenaline, because you have to take quite a few breathers after a few steps. However, you're able to handle the rest of the trip, even if you have to squat low for most of it.
Arriving at the kitchen, you can see that it's pretty bare.
"Thank you for you so much. Are you a sailor here too?" The purple Crystal pony asks.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. That place was terrible, I'm just glad we aren't there any more."
>>528395
It's loud, almost like a bazaar. There's a few ponies cooking food and offering it around. Some kids are running around, a Donkey chasing after them. Some are lined up, giving their information to Sailors in uniform. Some have grouped up, one around a buffalo and another around a goat. There's a brightly Gryphon trying to cheer up some ponies by dancing, but there are lots of them that are just asleep, even in the middle of the day.

Mostly just the basics that you were asked. It's important that they have a good census of who they brought over.
There's a pony working the lines waving at you if you want to go over to him.
>>528402
She hops back to her feet. "Oh yes, I was a great cook back home, before the Pirates took us. I want to get back at those pirates for all they've done, but all I can do is cook, so I'll offer that." She stands firmly, or at least as firmly as a recently rescued Crystal Pony can.

He's a beige Earth Pony. "Sorry to just assume like this, but you speak Hyperborean, right?"
The Gryphon thats with him is really distraught. "¿Por favor, señora, no me puede entender? Me puede decir onde estamos, que quieren con nosotros, cuando nos van a dejar ir…" She goes on for quite a bit.

She giggles and then gets to work. Her speed is blinding, and that's not just referring to her returning shininess reflecting light.
In a jiffy, she's got a nice salad for you, but she's wrapped it in big lettuce leaves, like a vegetarian burrito. "Please, take as many as you'd like!"

She's so giddy, you can probably see her doing a few back flips, then she turns red all over.
"Anything, I'll do anything, I mean, I'll cook anything you want, anytime."
>>528426
"Uh, um, thanks, that'll be all. I can take it from here."
The Gryphon is squawking mad now. Some could say that's an improvement from being scared.

You've heard of tail feathers, but she's taken it to an extreme. She's made herself a dress of brightly colored feathers and clothing. There's a Earthie playing some drums and a Diamond Dog with a rusting trumpet, but they're doing their best to entertain the crowd. The Gryphon on the stage points and waves at you.
>>528439
She can't help but keep her eyes on you, all of you, buth she's turning even redder Mister Sellsword. She's starting to sweat a tad, but that only makes her shine in the light more.

"It's almost like an art to me; figuring out which places are firm and which will give, discovering all the little spots that have her make those little sounds that are always unique…" Gently put a hoof against her cheek.
"Like I said, I'm a traveler. One day soon, we'll part ways and likely never meet again. All this could ever be is a passionate foray, nothing more. Can you live with that?"

You don't recognize the dance or the music, but it is a happy beat. After being locked up for so long, even bad music sounds heavenly. Some of the ponies part out of the way, leaving you with a clear route straight to her.
>>528448
She's going critical. Despite her attempts at keeping a straight face, you can see right through her, and she is all red. Just lead the way and she'll follow.

But I don't-
AHEM. I can totally dance with an attractive ladybird. I can totally do that, especially while a gigantic crowd is watching!
I step up on the stage and do as suave an introductory bow as I can, waiting for a place to join her in the dance.
Rolling for suaveness.

This time, there was visible improvement. Lots more of the crowd joined in, and you finally got the rhythm they were going for in the end. At the end of the song, the crowd lets out a big applause to you as you step off the 'stage'.
"So, why haven't you given me your name yet, handsome?" She asks.

"Now," she jumps towards you, "will the kind Gryphon reveal his name to his eager audience."

"My name, good sir, is Eos! Lady of the Morning Light." Her red feathers shine, she must have put some oil in them.
"Now," she jumps towards you, "will the kind Gryphon reveal his name to his eager audience."

She's in command of this kiss, but she appreciates someone at least trying to follow through.
"So tell me, Mister Hero, where to from here? Are you going to continue this life of excitement? Or would you rather answer with another dance?"
>>528484
She rolls around in the blanket, wrapping herself in it. After a few moments of thought, she asks: "Have you done it before? What do the other mares say?"

"I've done it quite a bit, actually. The response varies… Usually the ones who don't like it have… bad memories of being restrained. Some mares get frustrated with how I like to see how long I can keep them on edge… It comes down to personal preference, in the end."
"Of course," uneasy smile again, "that's not my only… questionable taste."

Lappet the Gryphon and Mallee, your male Pegasus, are playing a game with some strawberry seeds. Cloncurry, the female Pegasus, is using a perch to do some chin ups.
>>528490
She starts thinking it over, but the noise of pots clanging gets her attention.
"I'm needed back in the kitchen, but, we should…"
More clanging. She gives you a kiss and heads out the door. Your servants are all looking away for the moment.

"Feisty, think you can keep up. Slosten, Shibe, another upbeat one!" She leads you back onto the dance floor. Try and keep up.

She's unstoppable on the dance floor. She leaves you tired but she looks like she can go for a few more. But you should remember, her and all the others here were slaves and beaten just a few days ago, you've done a lot to help them all forget their sorrows.
>>528497
Mallee and Cloncurry fly around in excitement, but Lappet just nods and waits for his game partner to return.
>>528498
They're nervous, as they keep sweeping in place. Maybe they're wondering if you'll keep bringing ladies to your room, and how they should properly react when they leave.

There's a few ponies cooking food and offering it around. Some kids are running around, a Donkey chasing after them. Some are lined up, giving their information to Sailors in uniform, one poor Earth Pony is getting yelled at by a Gryphon. Some have grouped up, one around a buffalo and another around a goat. There's a brightly colored Gryphon dancing with Knox, but there are lots of them that are just asleep, even in the middle of the day.
>>528505
Maybe she'll let you lead this time.

You quickly round one of them up and take them back to their tent, but the others take the opportunity to disperse and blow raspberries at you.
After dropping him off, you can see the overlay of the hastily built town/fort here. You can try to find them in the food area, the place where the Buffalo's and the Goat's groups are, over where Knox is and all the dancers, or maybe where some of the other kids are playing with some balls they found.

>>528515
They all look at each other and then downward. "Gossip," two of them say.
"Called her fat when she was too far away to hear," Viatka and Fisher respond.
Citrine, your Crystal pony, raises her hoof and points to her eyes. "Blind, remember?"

You've got two of them there actually. They thought they could blend in, but they didn't count on your expertise. The two are upset the whole way back, but being captured doesn't mean their education has to stop.
One more remains. Where else will you go?
>>528518
She gets in closer, resting her head on your neck during a slow song. "I wish it could stay like this. So much nicer, and funner. Everyone is so happy now despite all we've been through."
Roll to spot.

"So you'd use that as an excuse to feel all over her body?" I ask Citrine teasingly, watching her for a reaction.
"As for the rest of you, it seems you already have a pretty good idea of how to act around them. Don't like them? Feel free to gossip about them behind their back. Feeling friendly? Go ahead and chat it up. Like the sound of what we're getting up to in the room? Feel free to ask if you can join in."

This close, you can see the gaps between her clothing. She's got patches of missing feathers and fur, but she's done her best to cover them up with clothes and make up.
>>528521
Citrine turns red at your playfulness. The others are trying to process everything, but Crawshay, the Zebra who showed you the shrinking potion, is more curious.

Shrug. "All of you already know I'm a pervert. One of the things I enjoy is watching a mare get her world rocked by somepony other than me. Whether that means tying up the mare while you drive her crazy, you getting tied up while she drives you crazy… If you want more conventional methods, I have plenty of toys; double-headed, strap-on, Viakta's experienced the vibrator first-hoof… I'd be involved too, of course. As long as she's enjoying it and you're enjoying it, I can pretty much guarantee I'll be enjoying it."

They take a few more steps back. "You should just, hang out by yourself, Master," Fisher says, "We'll be together when the ship takes off."
You'll have to leash them just to be able to get them off the ship, Obe is up there and he's strict. The people outside are also liable to attack their former tormentors.

"It's the family business, sort of. My parents were cut throats, and the business often caught up with them. They fire bombed our house and some of the material got into my eyes."
She stops for a moment, then continues.
"Don't feel too sad for them, I don't. There were a couple of dead bodies in the house, and we all managed to get out. They threw me out after that, but I managed enough to not die in the street. Joined up with whoever would hire me and now here I am, your servant."
She looks down, takes a breathe, and starts up again.
"But I'm not dead. You'll be my Master for as long as I live, though, but I should take solace that you, or they, didn't kill me. And, and thanks for giving us stuff for the terrarium, I can't see it, but it should help."

"There's supposed to be a really rich family in Neighpon *hic* that's taking in people who pledge their loyalty to them. Might be a good ticket out of this for me." You hear a pegasus say between shots of whiskey.
"I hope my family is alright. We were poor, so they didn't think much when I said I was single and just took me away." Adds another pegasus.

"Yes Master. I saw lots of people get executed with a sword like this. It just cut through them, like there was nothing there to begin with. There were legs, ears, and…" She gulps. "Lots of heads without a body."
>>528600
Seems you have more look with the Crystal ponies. When you finally get up and open the door, you see that the others have kept their word. There are fresh sheets by the door and a pitcher of water.

>>528607
Plenty about in the ship. It isn't long before you acquire one and bring it back.
>>528603
"This is hard." Says the chubby filly you brought back last.
"No it isn't, just move that over there."
"Nu uh, that's not what teacher said."
"But it's what you gotta do!"
They quickly get into a tussle.

Impressive, you paid lots of attention when you were in school. The children manage to complete all their assigned work.
"Can we go play now?"
"You too, come play with us!"
>>528621
"Yeah, I don't have much to go back for. I might as well sign up and get paid for getting my revenge, you know. And you, are you going to be a sailor too?"
A goat runs up to the Buffalo. "Nili, I think they messed up with our uniforms. This ones yours. Change into it when you get the chance."

"Ooh. Very good. Can you feel it, Amadi? The absolute trust you must place in the weapon, the feeling of being one in purpose, wills combined? Nothing bibds us to our blades faster than the realisation of our vulnerabilities, and having the strength of will to overcome it. I stand down."
Put away th knife and nod.
"And yes, good parry."

They've dug a pit into the ground where children are playing there's lots of toys lying about.
"Come on, we can play with the hoofball!"
"They've got some of the markers over here."
In the trees, there are two sailors keeping an eye on the children, both laughing at what's going on.
>>528626
She's panting, but happy.
"Yes Master, but please, not so suddenly next time. I'm still trying to learn this."

>>528628
"Really!? I was so worried when they took you and the others away. "I'm glad we'll be together. Much better than how we met. Tell me everything that happened and about those on the ship you know."
>>528630
"You're bigger, so it'll be you versus all of us."
"YEAH!"
The kids that were in there start getting together against you. The guards can be heard laughing and a few adults are cheering you on.

The bells are rung and the ships are prepared. There's a flurry of excitement as announcements are made by screaming sailors.
"If you aren't signing up, head to the big ship to be taken back to Caballo Island!"
Of course, all of you are headed back to your small ship to receive your new orders and head out.

"Good thing for us you two decided to stay aboard. We've mapped out a few possible locations for the remaining ships, and we've been assigned to go after a particularly sneaky one."
"Quick question, you up for doing some long distance flying?"
>>530424
"You must have been travelling. It's the town we left from. It's bigger than here, and with all the weapons we took from the pirates, it'll be safer to hoof."

"Good, we are definitely going to need them. Seems the ship we're going after is smaller than us, but hides around some foggy islands up ahead and we don't want it to shoot us in the back. There's a volcano nearby, so it'll be cloaked in steam, but so will we. We'll be needing you flyers to try and find it for use when we get there before it can sink us."
>>530427
Gravy puts her hoof on Desmayo, and then they look at you.
"So, which one of us won't be going into the terrarium for the next few days?"

The Captain thanks you.
"I was worried the other ships that sailed off might try to poach some talent, but looks like they focused on fixing their own ship."
>>530430
"It's gonna be just you mercs. I don't have enough crew to spare for this, and at least you'll know how to defend yourselves."
He has a sailor bring a bag forward.
"These are flare guns. Just point them straight into the air when you spot the ship and we'll take our own shots. I'm hoping we catch them without their horseshoes on, but just in case."

"Guess we didn't explain it as well as we should have, but we got sidetracked by all the people we brought aboard. We started off as three ships that sailed out of Caballo Island. Your friends here helped us capture this one and a bigger one. They docked with us on the other side of the island to fix themselves up and plan where to go next."
>>530433
"Go ahead and get a feel for it now. I'm just hoping we get there before they get a chance to hide."
>>530434
This time, there's no objection or worry as they take their drink and shrink down. Crawshay picks up Desmayo first.

You're able to successfully spot the ship while it was out hunting for you. Even from this distance, you can tell just how small it is. Closing the distance, it starts to maneuver to stay out of the way of your cannons and its crew starts taking shots at you, several of them on its deck with bows and rifles.
Try to take them out before they can hide in the mist, but be wary of the weather!

Gah!
I duck under some cover and try to relight the fuses on my matchlocks! Stupid rain…
I also clear out the charges and replenish them with fresh, dry gunpowder, this time coating the ball in a thicker coating of beeswax to hopefully make it more watertight before ramming it in, repeating the process for the other barrels. Hopefully my other pistols aren't waterlogged…
I try to fire off a test shot at the Diamond Dog.

The mechanism works, but nothing comes out except some water that gets in your eyes.
With all the damage the ship has taken and with no one on the wheel, the enemy ship crashes onto the island. And just like their spiritual liege, the ponies that were hiding inside the ship run out and into the fog.
They've lost their ship, but now the ship will have to pass through the misty area to catch up with the rest of the fleet.
Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

"Come down here and have a drink with me!" He yells out as he pulls up a rifle to shoot at you.
>>530549
"You've got skills, but you'll need to do better than this."
>>530550
The donkey won't be causing any of you anymore grief, since you managed to knock him unconscious and bury him under some rubble from your previous attack.
>>530551
"Hey, put some thought into your attacks. Like this!" He shoots you with the same rifle he aimed at Hopscotch.
"And this! You didn't expect me to put out all my chips at once, did you?"
Several other pirates emerge from chests and underneath old rubble.
"Nice work boss!"
"Always planning ahead!"
"That's why you're the boss!"

A terrifying flurry of cuts cause him to drop his guns and himself. "Sorry, boss."

There are mass produced items with more personality. Everything about this donkey says 'Average'. Except for her sword skills, those are lackluster.
>>530573
You blow off the nail portion on his hoof. He'll walk unevenly for a while.
"Okay, okay. Listen, why don't you put the gun away and we surrender?"
>>530575
She just stares at you with angry eyes.

"Well, I'm surrounded, all my crew is down, and you all did it and seem willing to keep going. What would you do?"
>>530579
"There's a horn in my cabinet over there. Blow it and they'll come. If they're smart, they'll probably sail away, but that means less trouble for you and safe escort to your ship for us, right?"

A more successful effort this time.
Several craft float up to your island and their crew of one simply give up and sit on the beach, awaiting their capture.
>>530589
The Pirates are coming to you. The ones that surrendered and ready to be tied up are:
Gender '4d2' 1 = Male
Race '4d10'
Roll #1 2, 2, 1, 1 = 6 / Roll #2 9, 3, 8, 5 = 25

A few trophies and medals line the wall. Probably stolen. Some average quality liquors and some food.
Oh, and a scared, tied up goat lady who looks at you like she's seeing Grogar himself.
>>530595
Obe and some of the crew bring over their raft to help collect the prisoners. Him and the others look upon your work intently.

"I was sailing my father's trade vessel through these waters when the ruffians attacked us. They sent most of the crew away, but the Captain wanted me personally. Not like I can blame him, wouldn't you take me if you had the chance? Anyways, now that you're here, we can head home. Quickly now, I don't want to spend any more time is such an "earthy" place like this."

>>530616
Too far. You're in the Caribbean, that's in a Europe stand in.
"Pity, Father will be ever so worried." She gets in close. "Are you sure you can't change their minds?"
>>530617
"Please, I have to woo her first. What kind of barbarian would I be if I didn't win her love first? Do you think any crew would defend their captain like mine did if I was little more than animal?"

"Erm, here- I have a few things to attend to myself, perhaps you can take the issue up with the captain himself."
I lead her outside and point to the captain.
"I have to… go and ensure all the pirates are secure and aren't going to cause a fuss!"
I start walking away to the lower decks.

>>530622
Despite the still bad weather, her presence remains with you. You can feel her talking as if she was next to you despite being so far.
In the lower decks, you can see some of the prisoners that were used as menial labor locked to the walls. Most lower their heads as they see you, making it easy to see that they are missing manes and an ear. Some of the crew is carrying in more prisoners to the lowest levels. Others are rushing past with supplies to help their ship weather the storm.
>>530623
"Why not? Plenty of action all the time, and if I got bored, I could sail out to find a little fun."

Nothing but the Buffalo. As a Mercenary, part of your benefits package is to claim prisoners. The buffalo could make a valuable asset to you in the future.
>>530628
>>530629
The captain was inside an island. They had hollowed it out to make a fortified area for themselves. Nothing extra special here besides regular supplies.
>>530630
"Just, five more minutes," she says.

"It's Murrah. Um, you wouldn't mind untying me and letting me go, right?"
>>530635
Obe's still dealing with a few unruly ones in his own way, one of his subordinates is handling it for him.
"Sorry, Officers like that Captain are off limits. They don't want to risk them getting away and starting again and they don't want to lose any information they have. We've still got to fill out the forms on some of these new pirates, but we've got a couple others we can assign to you if you're still interested." He's got a list on him.
>>530636
She has lots of tattoos on her. She was quite the canvas for a tattoo artist.

"Sorry, ma'am. Just doing what I've been paid to do. I'm sure you understand. However…"
Look at the ceiling contempatively. "…I might be able to convince one of my friends to claim you. Still not the best standards of living, but… you won't get stuck with the rest of all the unsavory types we've been collecting."

"As long as she isn't one of the high ranking officers or wanted elsewhere, sure. We'll still have to get her processed like the others, but I can put a note on her for you. What'a ya want her for?"
>>530653
There's just some splinters and sea weed. The buffalo was heavy and shattered the deck she was on when it collapsed, and someone was hungry and got themselves a bite to eat.

Numerous prisoners and supplies taken. You won't have to worry about supplies since you've taken a lot off of these pirates. The small pirate ship you followed early on can still be salvaged with a lot of effort, though.
>>530657
>>530658
A little more hoof and horn grease.
>>530656
"Well, just a servant? Lots of mercs buy land with their winnings back where I'm from and have them work the fields too. Stuff like that. They're yours for life, might as well make 'em work for all of it."

Most of the small boats will be taken apart and used as material for repairs. These are tiny things, barely enough for two people. You can sacrifice it to help fix the other ship you captured.
>>530665
7 whole, small ships. The larger ship you chased at the very beginning is in need of repairs. There were a few more that got banged up, but those will probably just end up as firewood.

Anyways,
uh…
I pick some from the listat random totally intentionally for the remainder of what I can take.
Which I guess is one.
Eeny meeny miny moe…
'1d2' for gender and '1d9' for race. If none exist, then I'll take one of the same race but the opposite gender.
Roll #1 1 = 1 / Roll #2 1 = 1

He goes over his list.
"No male Crystals that I can clear for you right now, but they did take in a few right now. I'll mark it down and give ya word when we're done with them. How's that sound.
>>530668
Crawshay is asleep. You may not have noticed because she was usually tiny, but she snores. The others are covering their ears.

One of the material workers answers. "These small things are good for pieces, but they're too small for anything else. That Unicorn friend of yours and that other griffon, they keep going over to that little ship we were chasing. Maybe they think its still good? Might be a good way to send you guys in without us risking our necks."

"Uh, seems I've got four of those, guess you must be thinking of starting that farm with their labor. Looks like these pups thought that a life of crime would've been a good one for them, but you guys sure showed them what happens when you try it."
>>530679
"Except for the noise when you chased after the small ship, nothing out of the ordinary. I cleaned what mess was left and just waited here for you to return, my lord."

One of them has a sheet attached to it with Torm's name on it. The others that have been gathered just as ready to set sail as any other ship. 6 of them.
>>530682
"Travel without rules. Free flowing liquor, as much as I could drink. And plenty of others to try out my brews on." She does a piroutte on her hoof and a smile on her face.

"The shrinking one as you know was a favorite of some of my suitors amongst the crew, but there was the one that let you change your race, that one was requested often. Of course, some of my brews were uniquely flavored, and some requested those even though I didn't know what they did."
>>530687
Most will be tied to your ship like they were lifeboats. The bigger one you chased down will be tethered while you do repairs.
>>530688
"I've got two runts, a brute, and an average looking one. Just say the word and I'll have them signed off for you."

"Obe still has to give the go ahead, but you're the one with the form in the meantime, he'll be all yours tomorrow. Anything else your looking for?"
>>530691
The pirates kept it clean enough, but most of them are looking worse for wear because of the weather. Maybe a little time and some shining will make it look better?
>>530692

It takes a few days for the crew to chase down any remaining pirates, but this area of sea is now Pirate free thanks to your effort. The ship is docked a little off the fortress island you fought on while they inspect the ship. The volcano seems to be cooperating at the moment, keeping the fog low and the temperature down.
For now, you are free to travel around the ship and fortress.
Knox, your servants are waiting for you.

The Captain is in talks with the Navigator Dog, while Pegasi check the rigging and an overloaded buffalo smiles and brings supplies aboard.
>>530987
The enemies had hollowed out part of an island. Granted, the lot of you left it damaged, but it's purpose was the same. Since that is where they stored supplies, the ship carrying you guys docked in front of it.

"These are yours."
He tugs on the chains to a Diamond Dog and the Buffalo from the other day. Both have had most of their fur shaved off and an ear cut down. Even their tails are exposed, and their chains are a bit on the heavy side.
>>530991
The volcano has kept its calm these last few days. It's barely smoking now, and only a little lava is leaving it.
"Hey, greet your new owner properly. He owns you now. He gives us the word, and you get to go meet Davy Jones, got it?"
The Diamond Dog grumbles, but they both lower their head in deference to you.

"I can shoot well!" Murrah yells out.
Kuvasz just looks at her and sighs. "Just what these give me," he says as he lifts his paws, "but it doesn't look like it'll be as much of a benefit to you. Otherwise, I can dig and write."
>>530998
>>530997
It's not much. There are a few tents set up by some sailors who want to enjoy solid earth beneath their hooves. There are some prisoners being watched as they move supplies around. You're free to look around the island if you'd like or go into the fortress.

He's back at the little area on the island the crew have set up. Seems he's working on someone's sword at the moment.
>>531006
There's another Diamond Dog crew mate inside sniffing around. There are four rooms built into the place, one that had some weapons, two with supplies, and sleeping quarters.

Sorry
That's considerate of you, but servants won't be able to get real beds. They can move some of the supplies to sleep on, they only get a blanket at most. They'll be sleeping on the floor if you keep them in your room.

That's considerate of you, but servants won't be able to get real beds. They can move some of the supplies to sleep on, they only get a blanket at most. They'll be sleeping on the floor if you keep them in your room.

Oh.
W-Well… may-
Nope. Not gonna concern myself with that.
"And here we are. I'm going to go inv-"
I scratch my chin.
"Actually, you two. Come help me search the island."
And off we go to search the island!
Three rolls for the three of us to start off. Me, Murrah, and Kuvasz in that order.
'3d10'
Roll #1 7, 3, 8 = 18

Cloncurry has Mallee in a choke hold. Lappet seems to be refereeing as he keeps moving around them.
>>531012
"Hoof it over."
He looks it all over.
"It's actually in decent condition, just had a bad owner, I'd guess. I can clean it out and replace a few parts that have started to rust from being left out. I can get it back to you at the end of the day."

"Well, color me impressed, a client coming back to thank me for my work. Glad you managed to show those Pirates what happens when they cross a good blade."
>>531017
Murrah finds a small chest that she tries to open, but doesn't budge. Do you want to try your paws at opening it?
>>531018
"It's just us three inside this little cage, we have to keep ourselves occupied." Lappet squeaks to you.
Cloncurry pins Mallee, but Mallee is still struggling to get her off.

Most of them have been cleared out and taken to your ship. They don't want the pirates to be able to get their hooves on them and rebel so quickly. However, there are still a few left and some boxes with a few inside. Roll to see what you can find.
>>531021
>>531022
You don't pick the lock so much as your claws cut into it. Inside, there are a handful of candies and a note.
>>531023
Lappet nods, shortly before the other two roll into him.
On the ship, the Captain is in talks with the Navigator Dog and a Crystal pony is talking with a buffalo with empty bags on her. Whispy Foam waves at you from above the sails.

It won't be much of a journey. You see her and a buffalo talking as they come down the bridge to the shore.
>>531027
"Heard what you've done against those pirates. I don't think I'd have had it in me to do any of what you've done. Where'd you go to get so good at all this combat stuff?"

"What kind of flour did you find? Was it fine, do I still have to work on it, what color was it, did you feel it's texture, Nili?" Iolite asks several more questions of the buffalo.
"That's why I went to you. This isn't my forte and I want to make sure you bring in good stuff."
>>531030
Your bird eyes quickly spot a safe underneath a pile of rubbish in the first warehouse room.
Do you want to open it or let one of your servants do so?
>>531031
"That long, gives me the creepers knowing that there are others like you in the world. You'll make a good boogeyhorse when my kids start misbehaving. Say, how would you like me to describe you to 'em? The Hunting Horse, the Impeccable Tracker, anything that sounds nice to you."

Nothing of quality. Mostly old and beat up knives. You could give those to your zebra servant to practice on.
Knox is in the other room you hear from all the moving of stuff.
>>531034
It's a small thing. Putting in the combination, you open it to reveal a set of documents, with lots of notes written on them. Even a few maps.
>>531035
You bonk her in the snout with yours instead. She lifts up her hooves to feel the damage, but her eyes light up when she sees you.
>>531036
"How many of these pirates have you fought? And you said you've been doing this for some time now. Think of it as a calling card, a way to get your name out into the world."

>>531039
It's for a town named Woolwoof's Bluff. There are maps of buildings with X-marks. There are even maps of a fortress guarding it.
>>531040
"Yeah, people will pay good money if they think they're hiring the 'Mare in Black' or something else who always gets her target."

She seems to hover in midair with just the flapping of her ears. The buffalo just gives her a deadpan look.
>>531047
"Well, if you get a name out, you'll have people looking to hire you. I know some of the Officers went to other towns to recruit. Wouldn't it be easier if jobs came to you?"

"I'm just one of the Cabin helpers. The Pirates had a stocked kitchen, so I went to get Iolite to see what we should take."
Your Crystal pony friend is turning a bit red.
"You okay there, not catching a cold are you, Ioloite?" Nili asks.
>>531053
"I'll think of stuff, those kids of mine will probably end up having to get bolted to the ground with the way they run around. It'd do me a world of good if I had someone to put the fear of Celestia into them."

Yes, it's the map of a town and its defending fort. There are a few building names on it.
"The Sign of the Herd of Basilisks"
>AVOID!
"The Angel"
>DEVILS!
The fortress itself has a line bisecting it in two with multi-colored lines coming from them and around the town.

Even if he doesn't, he was with the Navigator on the deck. Odds are good that they'd be able to find it soon enough.
>>531057
He waves again as you fly off. From above, you can see Torm is talking with a Crystal pony and Buffalo, but the other two combat Gryphons are out of sight. There's a few sailors hanging out near the ship, and plenty of others moving stuff around.
>>531059
"OF COURSE!" She says enthusiastically before turning even more red of embarrassment.
Gunhilda is flying out, but Knox and her new servants are still looking around.
>>531060
Kuvasz is stone-faced as always, but Murrah covers herself in a few blankets and other materials that might go good in a room. You'd be able to furnish a small ship with them.
And a few bits fall out of them. That's nice too, isn't it.

>>531112
Fisher flies up to you. "Except for everything being a million times bigger, not really Boss."
>>531113
They're just going through some of the basic supplies. Kuvasz is trying on a capes and coats, but Murrah is just gather the rest on her back.

It's a frail looking Pegasus, but she's got one of the guard uniforms on.
"In this weather, that's a possibility. We're in for a storm and it feels like it's going to get worse, so we're waking up all the passengers in case we anything happens."
"Do you have bring any big belongings with you?"

Spit the morning taste out of my mouth and roll to my feet, grabbing my shovel as I go.
"None worth accounting for."
With that, make for the main stairway. I want to walk down to the bilge. When you're an engineer, the state of the bottom of the ship tells you more about the storm than looking at the clouds.

It'll work, is the best way to put it. It's an older ship that's been repaired numerous times, much more often than a passenger ship should. You can see where the old material has been replaced and where they just used glue instead of taking the time to do it right.
There are tools laying about, and two crew members are just chatting.

Under normal circumstances, it would make a bad sleeping place. Today, it is a terrible place.
You can barely start dozing off before the ships bell starts ringing and the ship takes a harsh turn to the left.

No surprises there. Pure gunfire means they're trying to take the ship without sinking it. Meaning they're after something… valuables, slaves… either way, the first place they'll go is the hold. They'll search the ship, too…
Crouch next to the door to the hold in stealth. As I'm waiting, try to listen to the pitter-patter of hoofsteps, pick them out from the chaos.

With a flurry, the ship seems to dive a few feet deeper as the number of people on the top deck seems to increase. Curses and shouting happens everywhere, it's hard to make out anything specific.
A poorly armored Earth pony falls down the stairs and bumps up against a wall. He's holding a very chipped knife in his mouth.

He shakes his head a little as he starts standing up. You're stealthily hidden under the stairwell, so he passes you by, but you can see him trying to look underneath the doors. He is constantly moving the knife around.
"Come out, my darlings. I promise not to hurt you much." He begins to giggle audibly.

There's lots of blood getting all over the floor. It gets underneath one of the doors and you can hear a Donkey scream.
From upstairs, you can hear a female yelling.
"Oi, Dode, don't you hog all the fun and ladies to yourself like last time."
"Shut up, we got to make sure they don't get out and cause any trouble first, idiot!" You hear coming from another voice.
There is one set of rapidly descending hoof steps, and then another, more cautions set.

The first one is a female Goat. She has a lot of knives on her hooves and a psychopath's smile to boot.
"You're just no fun, you know that Erdea? Why do you think the others keep pulling pranks on you?"
She's heading in the opposite direction as the Earth pony, so she doesn't notice the blood.
"After this, do what you want, but we'll finally have the supplies we need."
Goat Pirate 5 / 5
Warning, she looks fast, so she can retaliate more aggressively than most if you make a mistake against her.

Set up a sabotage '1d10'. First grab some of those ship repair supplies I saw laying around and drive some of those thick three-inch thick nails into the ship floor with my shovel and creep up behind her to tie twine around her legs. If everything goes as planned, I can just pop out and scare her into collapsing on the spikes.
Pls go well '1d10'

The worst part about this plan is the sudden silence. The people stop yelling, and very little noises can be heard, even in this heavy storm.
A Buffalo is flung down the stairs at a high velocity and a Unicorn starts walking down.
"Hehe, so these scaredy colts are our prize? They don't seem like much, but they'll fetch a nice price at the market." He's flanked on both sides by a Diamond Dog and a Gryphon. "Listen here, you keep your yapp shut and we'll be done when we're done with you. It'll help make us stab you less."
A Pegasus pirate flies in.
"Captain, another ship is coming!"
The Captain runs back upstairs. "You two, get to work on tidying up our newest acquisitions!"

You've managed to at least tie up the nail trap to his tail, but he manages to move away before you can fully trigger your dastardly plan. The two get a few feet away from you, but some of the civilians seem more willing to take their chances fighting and are growling back at them.

You quickly start patching up the lower holes, before too much sea water can get in. Unfortunately, you also see the Pirates begin to load up for their next volley. You'll run out of materials to use if this keeps up.
>>532282
The Pirates have gained momentum and are pushing your crew back. Being crazy enough to shoot the ship you are on has that effect on people.

That gives me an idea! Run over to the cargo hold and pull out the sheets of elastic used to line the bilge to prevent water seepage. Then nail those sheets to the walls of the ship. With a little luck, I can Sabotage the ship into making the cannonballs bounce back at the other ship. It may not prevent ours from being damaged, but maybe they'll stop shooting at us!

You teleport to the other side, but some of his men noticed and break off after you.
"I take it back, I'll rip off your horn and use it as a pen!" The Captain yells.
>>532293
The Dog you drugged earlier is the one that responds, Torm has the Captain busy.
"There's nay enough powder on this ship to start a campfire. It's full of passengers, not things worth losing a cannon alone over."
He pulls out a small vial, drinks it. He cracks his paws and rushes towards you.
>>532294
He tries to use his telekinesis to catch your blade, but you're much to fast for him.

You're adding a terrible beat to this already foul weather and situation, but he deserves it.

Torm manages to ride the Lamia, cutting into her more and more, but she finally manages to get the sword out of her tail, seconds before she could really use her magic on Knox.
She loses the rope, Knox is free.
>>532333
You slowly start overpowering the dog. Millimeter by millimeter, you see the shovel cut into the sides of the mouth. He starts gurgling, trying to shake you off, but that seems to make the cuts worse.
At last, your red shovel meets the deck, followed by a thud.

I immediately perk up, realizing what I'm doing and quickly release Torm and pull myself out of his hug.
"Er- uh- I-"
I clear my throat and adopt a deeper voice again.
"I know they can't hurt me anymore! I'm just- I just want to get back there and get back to fighting! Because I know they're going to go cause trouble somewhere else, and hurt more innocent people!"

Surrounded by the chaos of the waves and the noise, I'm in my element. There are places for engineers who can't take pressure: in the workshops, where there is quiet. But there is a place in this world for an engineer who thrives on combat – on battle. An engineer who doesn't feel anymore. Sweat and seawater runs together as the steam and roiling waves put out the fires. Wood becomes like puzzle pieces in the mind, each with its proper place. Puddy here, a nail there. But even with sealed walls, it won't be saved without efforts in the bilge… Pumping furiously, to save it all.

If you ever need me, don't hesitate to come find me… because someday, you may need to do the same for me."

A passenger vessel which I was riding on was attacked brutally by a band of pirates, including a captain who could multiply the strength of his servants and make them get huge, an illusionist helmsman, and a lamia-donkey.
We fought them off. It was thought the passenger ship would be lost, but by virtue of amazing engineering skills, it was narrowly saved and is now stable. We're waiting out the storm before either ship can sail into port.
