Carrhae passed by the kitchen, peering in when she didn't hear any of the music that she usually heard. That's when she noticed that neither Indigo, nor her oversized cookware was in the kitchen. It saddened her to know that her friend was gone, but she was glad to have known Indigo, knowing that her life was all the better for knowing her, even if it was for a little while and that she wouldn't change a thing. She hoped that the tortle would find happiness where she was now and that she might one day open a restaurant that Carrhae might stop by.
She then listened to Syltra when she presented her idea of what to do with the silk. "Yes, that's a wonderful idea. Do you know how to do that?"
Carrhae gives Sloop a temporary release from his duties once Erriviel comes up with his idea. "Take your watch, Sloop. You can clean the graffiti first thing tomorrow morning. Unless Wolf needs your assistance in the kitchen." One thing that wouldn't change was that there wouldn't be anything in the kitchen that would set off Sloops pubescent desires.
Right now:
Carrhae takes a seat on Kali's bed. "Gladly." She lights the Pipe of Remembrance and as she exhales the smoke, she finds that instead of dissipating like normal, the smoke lingers and twists into shapes, depicting a curvy knight slaying various monsters alongside individuals of various races. Carrhae is wide-eyed as she passes the pipe to Kali. "You're seeing all of this too, right?"
Nibbling her lip as watches are assigned, Sana takes a chance and approaches Erriviel quietly. "Mind if I switch watches with Grishkar? I don't usually ask for this kind of thing, but...I'd like to make sure Chandor's okay after yesterday. He seemed...not okay." She shifts a little, clearly uncomfortable with this unusual breach of ship protocol.
Grishkar beams a devious smile to the changeling, "Must've had quite an experience to desire more company, eh? Captain," The intonation of the title dripped with venom, "Or, perhaps for the Acheronian, do tell: how do you plan to attack?" The priest reclined in the chair, crossing his legs and folding his hands in his lap, "Attack in the morning is truly the stuff of strategic prodigies and must be divinely-inspired, but I feel as though I must ask for elaboration. Shall we raise sails after pleasant morning meals and glide alongside the rogues in a daring show of force?"

After inhaling Wolf's scrumpdillyicious dinner, Sloop quickly ran to his personal trunk and gathered up his woolen coat and rain slicker, and scampered up to the top of the crows nest again. Settling in for a long night of watch, he starts to quietly sing a pirate shanty:
Naow whin Oi wuz a little boy an’ so me mother told me, ‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe! That if Oi didn’t kiss the gals me lips would all grow mouldy. ‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
An’ Oi sailed the seas for many a year not knowin’ what Oi wuz missin’, Then Oi sets me sails afore the gales an’ started in a-kissin’.
Oi got meself an Oirish gal an’ her name wuz Flannigan, She stole me boots, she stole me clothes, she pinched me plate an’ pannikin.
Oi courted then a Frenchie gal, she took things free an’ aisy, But naow Oi’ve got an English gal an’ sure she is a daisy.
Oh, King Louis wuz the King o’ France, afore the revolution, But the people cut his big head orf an’ spoiled his constitution.
Oh, once Oi wuz in Oireland a-diggin’ turf an’ taties, But naow Oi’m on a Limejuice ship an’ a-haulin’ on the braces.
Saint Patrick wuz a gintleman, an’ he come of daycent paypul, He built a church in Dublin town an’ on it set a staypul.
From Oireland thin he druv the snakes, then drank up all the whisky, This made him dance an’ sing an’ jig, he felt so fine an’ frisky.
Yiz call yerself a second mate an’ cannot tie a bowline, Ye cannot even stand up straight when the packet she’s a-rollin’.
Sana rolls her eyes at Grishkar's comments. "It's okay, I wouldn't expect you to understand how crew support and teamwork works," she says offhandedly before glancing at Carrhae and Misha. "You guys just let me know when you want me to start firing and hopefully I'll be able to hit the right things." The latter is delivered in a light tone of voice, clearly teasing. She seems fairly confident the guns will work as needed.
Carrhae responds to Grishkar in a very matter of fact tone, but does not convey annoyance. "We'll wake up, bright and early, eat breakfast, and then go into battle. I'm not sure how experienced you are as a fighter, but combat is rather difficult on its own and hunger doesn't make that any easier. An army does march on its stomach, and while we're not an army, it still applies to us. But it won't be as pleasant as you're accustomed to, it'll be quick and simple, since we're going into battle. Do you have anymore questions that you need me to answer, or should I leave you to return to researching the portrait?"

Misha smiled warmly at Sana’s tease about her aim, and without missing a beat said, “It will be an honor to fight by your side. May Bane shower us with glory. Tomorrow we will bathe in the blood of our enemies.”
"None from me, you've told me everything I need to know." Grishkar put an...odd ephasis on "everything". The doctor turned to the side slightly, "Have you noticed this?" He waved a hand over the ruined half of his face, "Let me tell you I have experienced death, seen what lies beyond, and sent many others through each. None, and I truly mean none of them, can compare to this. I would only say that your...friend is tolerated simply because her Master is a damned ruler in the planes of Hell and I can sympathize with certain sentiments. Tomorrow you may see things that would disturb you, but I will warn that entreating some so-called benevolent power for aid may attract unwanted attention."

"Aye," Kali says idly, plucking the pipe carefully from Carrhae's hand. "Needed to get a good look at it before I made the assumption of what kinda pipe this was. Basically, it reenacts your most heroic achievements." She takes her hit from the pipe as she settles down next to the paladin, and exhales off to the side not to interrupt the current performance. "Only does it once per dawn if I'm not mistaken, so no show from me." She gives a cheeky grin before pointing to the dancing smoke. "Who are they?"

If Grishkar's ramblings have any effect on Carrhae, it doesn't register. "Excellent! Since you understand the plans for tomorrow, I'll leave you to your watch."
Right now:
"Well, the curvy one is me, but you probably already knew that. Those figures"She says, pointing towards four images that resemble female humanoids "were some old friends of mine. And these figures" She says pointing towards a different group of images. "must be all of you." Carrhae smiles wistfully as she looks at the smoke, happy that she has something can serve as an eternal reminder of what she had and something that will record the good memories that were sure to come.

Erriviel shakes his head at Sana’s request and then at her and Grishkar’s bickering, ”Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate such a request. It’s essential that at least one member of the watch have night vision, so as to spot threats without being easily spotted. I did, however, make a mistake in the calling order. I will be taking the final watch with Kali, not Sloop. If you would like to talk to Chandor, I suggest you do it now or in the morning. When you’re on watch I want your attention focused on the sea.”
Syltra replies to Carrhae, “No, Cap’n, I don’t know how to work silk. I think I might have a friend in the city though! I’ll make some inquiries,” she smiles.
Later, after Sloop finishes his song, Syltra asks, “Sloop...where is France?”
”Daw, wanna try date number two with little ol’ me, Erriviel?” Kali quips. “I do enjoy stargazing, I’ll give you that. Maybe you can point out the constellations I can’t spot with my bad eye.” She says before sticking out her tongue playfully.
Getting high before a watch is a good idea:
”Mm,” The hybrid hums lowly after Carrhae explains the smokes performance. “Dunno how what we did was considered ‘impressive’, I’d say this upcoming fight would do that trick right.” Before passing over the pipe to the blonde she takes another hit. “What’s their names n what’d you guys do?”

Carrhae shrugged. "I thought that we did some cool stuff." She begins pointing at the lean female figures. "That one with the crossbow was Mercy. The one with the rapier was Strife. The flying broom rider was Zephyr. The one in the cloak was....I can't remember. Weird. We were given a mission to find some delegates from the five factions who went missing in the mountains, one thing turned into another, and we ended up having to fight cultists who worshipped the elements." Carrhae hadn't planned on telling Kali everything, but the pipe had clearly stoked the Simic's curiosity and Carrhae felt comfortable enough to talk to her about her past. "Strife was the one who introduced me to Bloom Nocturne, by the way."

Sana nods, accepting Erriviel's slight reprimand without complaint. "Yes, sir."
Approaching Chandor, she crosses her arms. "You're going to stop avoiding this conversation. Are you okay? Because after yesterday...it's okay not to be."
Sloop calls down to Syltra in response: "France? Dunno. I always assumed it was a place made up by drunk sailors with nuttin' to do but stare out at the sea and imagine strange fairy tale kingdoms filled creatures like boy and girl mice that look like humans, and their pet dog named after one of those stars up a yonder <he points upwards>. Silly, huh?!"
Kali’s eyebrow raised in interest, leaning forward to watch the figures move and dance more closely. “So that thing you said before, the cultist business thing, you weren’t kiddin’ about that.” Her eye narrows before she turned to Carrhae. The drug was taking some effect but her brain still functioned enough to put two and two together (**** you avrae). “Did... you die? Is that why you and Misha know each other so well?”

"I at least came very close to dying. I was stabbed more times than I care to count and was struck by lightning. But Misha came and took me back to Acheron. She was ordered to watch over me and keep me safe. But only me. Apparently I'm of some value to them, despite the fact that I don't even worship Bane."Carrhae shrugs. " The Genesis Chamber that Misha talks about being made from is also good for bringing people back from the brink of death. But their bedside manner could use some work. I woke up, nearly naked under a flaming sky with two impossibly tall armored figures. I started panicking because I thought that I had somehow ended up in hell. They put me to sleep and the next thing I knew was that I was strapped to a table and there Misha was. She was with me, helping me work to get strong again. And she grew to be my only friend. I told her stories about me, she told me stories of some missions that she did. When I was allowed to leave Acheron, I didn't expect to see her again, but she was sent here to help us." Carrhae's begun to get really comfortable, kicking off her sandals and propping her feet up on Kali's bed.
As Carrhae speaks, Kali scoots herself up on her bed, just enough for her to lean back on the wall comfortably. “Yeah, getting stabbed and struck my lightning will do that to ya.” She laughs lightly. “I’m sure you consider yourself lucky to be given a second chance like that... Wonder if that’s how Misha managed to bring back the broody one.” The hybrid pauses and shakes her head after remembering how the red head looked after bringing back Erriviel. “No, she didn’t. She wouldn’t have looked so... sad after. Anyways, I’m assuming the same fate came to your friends then, but they weren’t brought back.” Kali eyes Carrhae. “You think about them a lot, don’t you?”

Misha spent some time on the deck watching the sun rise. Every single time she saw it, it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. Her eyes watered at the beauty, for it represented many things to her. The dawn of a new day, another chance to earn glory and honor in His name. She took one last look into the far glass. The Sea Ghost was there, just off the shore by the Haunted House. Her smile lessened knowing soon it would be the time. She had something to eat and stretched a bit to make sure she was combat ready.
She went downstairs into her room and latched into her armor, took her glaive. No shield and hammer this time. She made a mental joke of, instead of meat on a skewer, it would be cultists. She latched the handle of the retracted glaive on to her armor belt, and went topside.
SHIP COMBAT
The Belle is in port at Saltmarsh. Once Carrhae gives the command, and everyone is ready, you will set sail towards the Sea Ghost. There is no breeze today, so the Belle moves at 45' per round. Once the first shot is fired based on initiative, the Belle and the Sea Ghost will exchange five rounds of fire before the ship is close enough to be boarded. Then I will describe the first area of the Sea Ghost. Carrhae will decide who goes on the Sea Ghost. The Belle will be boarded, as well, so there are two battles to manage.
Ship initiative is rolled by Carrhae with a modifier of +3 (-2 ship DEX plus 5 for Crew Quality) once we have shoved off and are in range.
On its turn, the ship can take 2 actions. Fire Cannon.The ship can fire one of it's cannons. Move.The ship can use its helm to move with its sails. Take Aim:As an action, the captain, first mate, or bosun directs the crew’s firing, aiding in aiming one of the ship’s weapons. Select one of the ship’s weapons that is within 10 feet of the officer. It gains advantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of the ship’s next turn.
I will have the Belle's stats always posted when I post so you guys know the status of the ship.
Hull: AC15 HP 300 (15 Threshold) Helm: AC18 HP50 Sails: AC12 HP100 (-5 speed per 25 dmg taken) Speed: 45 ft.; 15 ft. while sailing into the wind; 60 ft. while sailing with the wind Cannons: AC15 HP50 Crew Quality: 5

Misha spent some time on the deck watching the sun rise. Every single time she saw it, it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. Her eyes watered at the beauty, for it represented many things to her. The dawn of a new day, another chance to earn glory and honor in His name. She took one last look into the far glass. The Sea Ghost was there, just off the shore by the Haunted House. Her smile lessened knowing soon it would be the time. She had something to eat and stretched a bit to make sure she was combat ready.
She went downstairs into her room and latched into her armor, took her glaive. No shield and hammer this time. She made a mental joke of, instead of meat on a skewer, it would be cultists. She latched the handle of the retracted glaive on to her armor belt, and went topside.
SHIP COMBAT
The Belle is in port at Saltmarsh. Once Carrhae gives the command, and everyone is ready, you will set sail towards the Sea Ghost. There is no breeze today, so the Belle moves at 45' per round. Once the first shot is fired based on initiative, the Belle and the Sea Ghost will exchange five rounds of fire before the ship is close enough to be boarded. Then I will describe the first area of the Sea Ghost. Carrhae will decide who goes on the Sea Ghost. The Belle will be boarded, as well, so there are two battles to manage.
Ship initiative is rolled by Carrhae with a modifier of +3 (-2 ship DEX plus 5 for Crew Quality) once we have shoved off and are in range.
On its turn, the ship can take 2 actions.
Fire Cannon. The ship can fire one of it's cannons.
Move. The ship can use its helm to move with its sails.
Take Aim: As an action, the captain, first mate, or bosun directs the crew’s firing, aiding in aiming one of the ship’s weapons. Select one of the ship’s weapons that is within 10 feet of the officer. It gains advantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of the ship’s next turn.
I will have the Belle's stats always posted when I post so you guys know the status of the ship.
