Skulls and Starships

Ashley stares at Fishguts uncomfortably long, as if she was scanning him. Her eyes were white. "And what are your intentions now?"

Toni spends some time trying to get to know the new crew members, hoping to get them on our side.

PERSUASION: 13

Once Thrash was away from the captain he would do his work while also taking note if where the different crew members and officers were planning on sleeping. The lizardfolk would rub the front of his sharp teeth with his lizard-like tongue as he got to work plotting how the group would do in plugg. If Thrash got the chance he would attempt to make some last minute friends.

"A mutiny? Well, I won't tell Plugg or anyone about it, but I'm afraid that I can't do much in the way of physical support." He says, calling attention to the fact that he's in his 50s and hasn't exactly aged gracefully. "I will tell you though that if it works, we better keep our distance from Harrigan. He likely won't be pleased to hear that his first mate and bosun were killed."

Dani spends her time working on her upgrades to her projects. She beams (actually beams! Despite the situation!) when she puts the finishing touches on her armor and slides it on, the bulky armor plates suddenly flattening and lying close against her skin, a pulsing white light visible at the center of her chest. The light occasionally crackles with electricity.

Dani has currently chosen the Infiltrator model for her armor.

Thrash: By this point, you're unable to turn anyone's opinion of you and your friends around.

As Thrash planned his next move, he could feel his body heat rising. Normally he only felt this way while enraged but now... his scales seemed to radiate heat at all times. The lizardfolk would shrug and assume he was just excited about gutting Plugg later that evening and continue his duties throughout the day. Thrash tried to ignore this new heat... this... strength burning inside him, but he found it harder and harder to do as the day went on. It reminded him of when he was a young hatchling. He didn't have many memories from his life before the Crimson bounty. One of the few memories he did have was the only time he had been in trouble with his mother. He remembered a star. A bright star that their ship flew very close to for some reason. When he was young he used to enjoy the large observation deck where he could look at the starts and enjoy the warmth of the sun. He remember his mom telling them they were too close to the sun one day and that he wasn't allowed on the observation deck for a few days until it was safe. The young hatchling didn't listen though. The sun was so bright and its rays felt good... he could feel his temperature rising... and then everything went black... When he woke up he was in the medical bay...

That heat... that strength he felt in the sun as a hatchling had returned. It felt good.

Later that evening, after secretly passing around notes during dinner, Thrash would stand among his companions and the other crewmen that they had managed to befriend on the wormwood. "So! We got ourselves an opportunity my friends. Now I don't know about you all but Plugg and Scourge are two of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever had the misforture to know." He would say with a grin. "Now.. I don't hate em cause they're ruthless and tough... no.. I hate'em because of how they treat their men.. how they treat all of us!" Thrash would continue as he places his hand on his electrified spear and slams the end into the floor. "We have a chance to chart our own course mates! We can run this ship the way we want! I used to be the first mate on the Crimson Bounty... this is what I was lookin for! This opportunity to call the shots! Now I say once we put a bit of distance between ourselves and the wormwood... we take care of Plugg and scourge. Slit their throats and their sleep and kick'em out the air lock. I normally don't like to waste good meat but I don't eat shit." The lizardfolk says with a laugh. "Now what do ya say? You can either serve as slaves under captain butt plugg and sparkle tooth... or you can serve along side me and my friends here" Thrash would say as he gestures to Ashley, Toni, Gin, and Dani. I already showed ya I ain't afraid to take a beating to protect my pals..." Thrash would say as he turns and shows his new scars to the crew that criss-cross along his back from his recent lashing. "And I showed ya I'm tough enough to take on anyone.. even though Plugg tried ta have hatchbuster cave my skull in with a pipe." The lizardfolk would add as he pulls the pipe from his belt and holds it in his other hand. "Not whatta ya all say? Are ya with me lads?

OOC: If we are already far away from the wormwood and the captain is asleep... he would have suggested they attack tonight.

While Trash was talking, Ashley was staring out into space. He was saying something about charting our own course. Opportunity. Killing people. Pieces of shit. Calling us lads. Those sort of things. Half listening, she would think to herself, mostly.

The memories were still locked. She remembered Darren, of course. But why she was here? No idea. What she did before? Still nothing. But, it felt right, what she could do now.

Was I still thinking of ending things?

I'm not sure.

It's still such a jumble. What I can do, that's clear. But what I am, what I was before, no clue.

By this point, the Man's Promise and the Wormwood have gotten out of each other's visual range. Your assembled allies all nod in accord, silently giving their approval to your idea of mutiny.

Toni leans over to Gin, "I think we're really doing it. We're about to overthrow the man. This is going to be great for our music!"

You and your gang of mutineers march over to the Officer's Quarters, ready to kill Plugg and Scourge. You find that the door is locked, because they aren't total morons. 

Dani or Ashley can hack the lock with a Computers check. Roll 1d20+ your Intelligence Modifier+ Proficiency

(OOC: Can they help eachother?)

Gin grins at her sisters words, wholeheartedly agreeing. Her musical juices were already flowing!

When it looks like someone’s will have to get the door open, leans in and whispers to whoever will be making the check. “You totally got this, okay?”

Bardic inspo!

Ashley looks over the computer.

"Hm."

She touches a few of the buttons.

Computers: 24 + 5

Dani watches over Ashley's shoulder offering a few suggestions here and there (if that didn't beat the check, adv so Ash can roll again).

Ashley is able to hack the order and open it. You're able to catch, Plugg, Scourge, and the crewmen hostile to you in the middle of plotting to take you all out. You have a surprise round.

"We wish to have a frank exchange of ideas. And by frank, we mean violent." Ashley says to Plugg, Scourge, and everyone else opposed to us.

Seeing that they were planning the same thing, Thrash would grin in shake his head as he feels his body heat rising. "You sons of *****es!" He would growl as rage consumes him. His orange frill would rise, knocking his had from his head as he races forwards and stabs towards the face of Plugg with his electrified spear!

Bonus action to rage and then!
Electro-spear Attack: 18 Damage: 12

initiative 18

 Dani flexes her fingers and taps the jewel in the center of her chest, which crackles with electricity before firing a bolt of lightning at Plugg.

Attack: 18 Damage: 9

And then init: 22
