"Alright! Captain, would you give me a list of places that the crews would be interested in exploring? I know them all of course, but perhaps there are certain ones they will find more stunning!" Western Wind awaits a response from the Captain of the Guard for tourist attractions/gear and weapon shops within town.

Cassandra smiles and says “ well Yer welcome to join us.  Alrighty then let’s gets ready fer some action-  I be lookin t go to an armory whot has some magic gear- and spend some o this here gold.  Gold be pretty an all - but it can’t keep a girl alive.  An wot use is bein rich if Ye ain’t alive to spend it?!  Let’s find a good one whot won’t be tryin to rip us off though.”

Gianna's head tilts then bobs enthusiastically.

"Just down the street from the shipyard, there is a wonderful little magic shop called The Mortar and Pestle. (OOC- Haha get it?) It is an apothecary and weapons store which I visit often. They are purveyors of the highest quality potions, salves, and naval war equipment. I believe you will be quite pleased with what you find there. As you will be passing it on the way to the magic shop, I highly suggest stopping by the shipyard. I have gotten word that, while sweeping the ship, my men have found a great deal of resources you might want."

"Well then, I'll make sure to walk there with them! Thank you!"  Western Wind does a courteous bow and turns to the party. "So, let's head down to a magical shop. Shall we?"

(ooc-  ok- the group will go to the shipyard to retrieve our salvage, and then go into the shop.  Love the name)

Cass says “Aye-  stopping by the shipyard on the way.  Mayhap there’s more there we can use - or trade if we don’t be needin it!” 

At the shipyard, you see a swarm of people gathering around the ship. Outside the yard, dozens of townspeople are peering at the ship, which is beached on its side in a dry dock. Inside and around the dock, workers and researchers are busy moving and inspecting various parts of the ship. Much of the contents of the ship are lying stacked on the pier, and a large slice of the hull plating is lying on the ground, with more in the process being removed. Next to the pile of goodies from the ship, there is a small cloth pavilion with a blueprint table, surrounded by what look like shipwrights.

The beautiful red headed woman, armored  and carrying her shield, walks boldly up to the tent

“Ahoy there!  Captains Cassandra o’ the Temptress and Captain Ceesh o’ the Skipping Stone and crew here.   We were told Ye gots some things fer us to pick up  from the ships we captured fer Ye all, when we saved the port last night”   

Mr. Wind sort of revels in the fact that his new comrades are eloquent speakers. He lets them go ahead with negotiations while he stands to the side trying not to be noticed. He appears slightly lost in thought.

Kneeling near part of the removed hull is another red-haired woman. her red hair is so dark that, in some lights, it almost appears black. In bright sunlight though the red is obvious. her emerald eyes, intent on the hull in front of her as she was examining it closely, glance up towards the tent at the arrival of the newcomers. Hearing the words spoken, she pushes up to her feet, dusting the hem of her tunic off with a hand, her long cloak opening to reveal a set of scale mail armor under it. She brushes several strands of her long hair behind an ear as she steps towards the tent. She would not interupt the conversation going on, but moves in closer to be able to speak with these newcomers when they are done speaking with the ship builders.

A lean lizardman strolls up next to Cass with a pair of scimitars at his belt. He has scales that are off color from the rest in a few patches, remnants recently healed wounds.  He says in a rasping accent "Make sure the salvagers are careful, those ships were filled with all sorts of spinning and burning metal bits." In a whispered side note to Cass "We might want to also visit the other shop we were at before the fight. They seemed to have a bunch of useful stuff."

"Yes, we were hoping we might be able to gain an advantage or perhaps some insight into our next target. Did you find anything that could tell us a bit more about the Crimson Fleet's plans?" This is said by a dark-furred otter wearing a captain's hat and leather armor with a rapier at one side and a revolver at the other.

The foreman under the pavilion welcomes you.

"Greetings Captains! I am Ruford Quye, Foreman of this scrapyard. I must say, this is a strange thing you took down. I had to purchase more metal cutters for my workers, but this ship will prove to be worth a mountain of profit for the both of us. The city council has instructed me to dismantle the ship, but to let you take any and all parts from the ship. Speaking of which, we have moved most of the supplies from the ship to those pallets next to me. Take what you want, and we'll sell the rest for you. Now, come look at this, my engineers have been working on something I think you will find most interesting."

He steps away from the table and motions towards a blueprint.

"This diagram looks very familiar, no? Yes, yes it is your very own ship, The Skipping Stone. What these blueprints will do is make your ship live up to it's name, and make it tough as stone! In fact, tough as steel! We are currently stripping this ship of its hull plates, and, with your permission, we will bolt them onto The Stone! Now this process will take both time and money, but will render your flagship nigh unsinkable! Do not worry about the cost, there will be much scrap metal left over, which will easily cover the costs of construction. A fine plan, isn't it?"

(Again, apologies for the lack of posts, I'm really tight on time this week, with school starting soon. I will get you the list of loot on the pallets soon)

(OOC no worries.  Im on vacation so also not posting much.  Very cool BTW

“Sounds like a very good deal sir. Thank you,” 

(OOC: Don’t worry about it, real life before the game. We all get it.)

“Birdie” remains in the background trying to not reveal how awestruck he is. He’s an old salt and encountered much over the years but he’s never seen anything like this before.

Robin cocks her head at the sheer size of what is being done for these sailors and moves in to speak with one of them. "So you are the crew that brought this strange ship in?" She asks as she moves up to the group. "I am fasinated by the technology involved here." She glances over to where the dismantled ship lays in the dry dock. Turning back to the group she looks them over. "I am not an overly experienced sailor, so I will say that up front, but would you have need of a wizzard of some skill on your ship?" She meets each of their eyes directly, her emerald eyes intense. "I would like very much to be there if you come across more of these ships, and would love to be able to study the workings of your own ship if that is allowed - once the modifications have been applied to it."

“Aye, of course we could always use an extra set of hands. What do ye think Cass?”

Tuna looks back at Robin and says "The inner workings don't make much sense. There is a glowing red ball, lots of tubes and with some magic they make it so a metal ship floats and can go under water and come back up. It's all way over my head. Luckily their locks are near as tricky as the rest of it. "

Cass says “aye and well met, Robin!  We’d love t ‘ave Ye aboard our crew.  With the devilish business you see here the crimson scum are up to-  we could might rightly use a wizard!  Let’s ‘ave a look at these goodies they gots o’er ere and see whots whot, mayhap yer magic knowledge can help us figure somethin outs”

She moves to the place where the loot/salvaged items are and starts looking.
