”Pitch, not decibels good sir. An ethereal song manipulating the weave itself would not abide by the same rules as the sound of a shout. But to do such a thing would require a bit of power wouldn’t it? And a bit of continuity a single sailor could not provide. Perhaps the engine, in one of these ships would be sufficient?”

“How does an engine move a ship? If we can harness these rotations and tune them to the right frequencies, then the sound itself will cause ripples through the ethereal and befuddle minds, believe me friend, I have studied this topic extensively,”
"Erm.. if you say so, captain. We can get you the framework for this contraption in a few days, but the inner workings are far out of my league. You will have to do that yourselves I'm afraid. As for the upgrade to the Stone, the hull replacement will take two weeks."

A tall but slim woman with short raven-black hair and piercing blue eyes nears the party. "Well met to all of you," she says, "I'm Coriana, an experienced sailor and navigator, with some skill at blades and spells. I'm looking for the crew of the Stone, I'm seekinga new placement, and I think you could use me."

“aye we could and welcome! I’m Captain Cassandra of the Temptress- call me Cass if Ye like Ceesh -this otter folk in the shiny new studded leather is Captain o the stone”. Cass is a beautiful redheaded woman clad in armor and carrying a shield. (OOC welcome, we’re in between missions atm getting our ships and ourselves ready. Feel free to read all of the 2435 posts above to catch up. Or just wing it! :) )

“Birdie” turns and faces the new arrival. At the mention of ‘experienced sailor’, he wanted to see if it was someone he might recognize. Alas, immediate recognition did not occur, but then his brain was trying to access ‘facial recognition’ from nearly a hundred years of ship’s crews, encounters on docks and fuzzy remembrances in hundreds (maybe thousands) of poorly lit bars and taverns scattered among dozens and dozens of ports.
”Ahoy there. I am new to this crew myself. People call me “Birdie”. I’ll have to defer to the Captains to welcome you aboard and all of the responsibilities and benefits associated.”
“Birdie” then uses one hand to slightly raise the automatic pistol in his belt and with his other hand gently taps the chest of his shimmering new armor. His face pulls up on one side with a mischievous half-grin.
(copied to give a physical description:
Eagerly, a dark skinned half-elf takes a step forward. He's average height and lean of build. A Monmouth woven skullcap covers his bald scalp but does not cover the tops of his elvish ears. Several gold"ish" earrings dangle from each ear. His skin is weathered but his eyes are sharp and piercing cobalt blue. His bare arms are muscular but not bulky and display several scars and many ornamental brandings perhaps intended to cover/enhance those scars.
He is beyond middle-aged for a half-elf, but there are many usable years of service left in him. A loose fitting sleeveless tunic hangs off his shoulders and is gathered at the waist by a rather wide leather belt. Snug but flexible breeches extend to just below the knees.
Strapped to the outside of his right thigh is a scabbarded inverse curved blade with a worn but ornate pink coral handle (his gutting knife). On his left hip is a non-descript rapier. Strapped over his left shoulder and ready on his right is a hand crossbow and a heavy crossbow is hanging off his back. )
"Well met." Robin says as the newcomer walks up. "Seems like they are getting a good deal of us new crew members." She is a pretty red-head, with her waist-length hair tied back in a long braid down her back. She currently wears scale mail armor, but a set of shiny half plate lays at her feat, the half plate with shell and sea designs on it. "You should look in that chest there, there may be something left over..." She nods to the chest nearby. "It seems to be giving something to everyone who has reached in so far, so I'd suggest you take a shot as well."
Coriana looks in the chest and spies a suit of studded leather that might just fit perfectly, she smiles snarkily as she see the decorations on the armor have a squid/kraken/tentacle motif. *Too much of an omen to pass up*
(Do you have anything else to do at the docks, or will you continue on to the shop?)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After stowing your gear, you all walk down the street to the Mortar and Pestle, and you are surrounded by a crowd of people, each going about their own business.

Suddenly Cass, Ceesh, and Coriana are hit by a blast of magical energy and take 5, 2, and 2 damage respectively.
When you turn around, you scan the crowd and see a hooded figure in red robes sitting atop what appears to be an iron-clad knight of massive size.

"Birdie" puts his back into it. Hoisting, hauling and storing the items at the direction of the Captains, firstmates or quartermasters. He will also store his personal duffel bag on which ever ship he is assigned to. Those around him would notice that he has a very well practiced repertoire of sea-fairing songs with which he whistles. One of them is particularly catchy, though nobody knows the name to it.
(Even "Birdie" can't recall if he ever heard the name of it.)
