It's been a nice few weeks. You've been able to settle in pretty well. Silver Tooth gave you a tour of his settlement, Libertalia, and you get the idea that he truly believes in this place. Government for the people, by the people... it's a weird concept really, but you think you might be able to get used to it. This day started like any other, sun rising, spices cooking, loud laughter, all things you've really started to enjoy waking up to. As you begin to get ready for your day a young man walks into your room, flips you a couple coins and says; "Silver Tooth told me to give you this. He says get some breakfast and then meet him aboard the Crimson Dagger." You look down at the gold coins, and then back up but the boy has already started to walk away....
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: I assume I am in an inn of some sort and there is a tavern here?
Kuno takes the coin and heads downstairs to the tavern. He finds a table in a corner and sits down waiting for the bar maid to come take his order. He scans the room looking for any familiar or unfriendly faces and just to get a lay of the land.

Kathra grabs her gear and the coins, leaves the room, and heads to the closest tavern barstool. She orders an ale and drinks it in one gulp. Then, Kathra makes her way to the Crimson Dagger.
You make your way to he docks and immediately recognize the Crimson Dagger. You can't miss it. It is a huge vessel, larger than most Galleons. It is made of a dark red wood and the metal hooks and pulleys are beginning to rust. It's bow is carved into the wicked smile of a terrible beast and below the forward pulpit is a colossal cannon. You guess it probably takes two able bodied men just to operate the gun. This ship was built to intimidate anyone whose sorry eyes should befall it, and destroy those that are unphased by it's unholy sight. As you get closer you hear the welcoming voice of Silver Tooth from the deck; "WELL I'LL BE A SIREN'S LULLABY! I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER MAKE IT!" You notice that he is hurriedly tying knots and getting the ship prepared.
Kuno
You don't really notice anything out of the ordinary. This is after all, some sort of pirate utopia, there aren't a lot of things that would strike you as out of place. The bartender comes up to you and offers to take your order. It's an old man. A very old man. He looks like he could be 90 years old, which you know is quite the achievement for humans. His body moves slowly like a chameleon and he walks with a small carved walking stick.
Kuno orders a small meal, eats it, pays the old man and makes his way to the harbor where he see the Crimson Dagger. He walks up the ramp and see's Captain Silver Tooth and another preparing the ship.
Kuno calls out: "Captain Silver Tooth, I have answered your call. It's a pleasure to make you acquaintance. What may I do to be of assistance?"

Kathra grunts at the captain's greeting. She walks to the canon to examine it, wondering if she counted as two able bodied men and could operate it on her own.
She then turns toward the captain, "Are you in need of some help, Silver?"
"Tis' good to see ya. I've got a job for ya. As ye well know, this is a settlement, a real settlement, with a government a populace and businesses." He takes a long drag on his wooden pipe before continuing. "But, tis' still a pirate settlement. We need to procure some supplies, and I have it on good word that a cargo ship from Spinel, headed for Flint. They should practically sail right to us. Board the ship, take the goods, invite the crew to join us. You may remember the process. You will leave in three hours. I unfortunately will not be joining you, but my first mate will guide you." As he says that a hulking figure emerges from below the deck. "Ah, there he is. Meet Krakan." The hulking form merely nods to you as he begins lifting large crates of supplies and moving them back below deck.
Krakan
Kathra
You can easily see that it will require multiple sets of hands to operate this cannon.
Colossal Cannon:
To aim the cannon you will need to make a STR AND DEX check. It takes one round to fire and one round to reload. So to fire in one round, one person needs to roll DEX and one person needs to roll STR, once both actions are complete you can fire as a free action.
Silver Tooth looks at you with a raised eyebrow; "Oh just the usual really. It's a cargo vessel, not a battle ship. Loaded with treasure and supplies. Do try not to harm those on board, we have a reputation to maintain after all."
*OOC: You are correct in assuming that Libertalia is unmapped. It is in the southern portion of the Jasper Ocean. You're not really sure how this island has gone unnoticed for so long. You think that you are about a days travel away from the Spinel - Flint trade route. If you leave now you should be ready to intercept the cargo ship the next evening.
Silver Tooth looks out at the sea and says: "Any business ye got, best be done in 3 hours. You shall set sail then. Krakan will finish the preparations."
*OOC: You can summarize how you spend the three hours, if there is anything crafting or anything you want to buy we can do through PM.
Kuno goes down into the galley and gets a tankard of ale. He then wanders around getting acquainted with the ship. After about an hour Kuno climbs to the crows nest and settles in so he can check his equipment and make sure all his weapons are battle ready. About 30 minutes to departure, Kuno climbs down so he can be present for launch in case the Captain or First mate want to talk to the crew.

The Captain looks at you and chuckles; "Haha, unfortunately no. I just got back from a trip and need to check on the city." He then goes back to his business.
Everyone,
Upon your arrival back at the Crimson Dagger you find that Silver Tooth has left and the only person on deck is Krakkan. As soon as he sees you on the ship he shoves off without warning and you find yourself sailing north. When he needs your help he asks for it but keeps to himself otherwise. After a couple minutes of sailing you hear a small voice yelling below deck. The voice grows louder until the door leading below deck explodes open and a red-faced enraged gnome walks out. "KRAKKAN I TOLD YOU TO WAIT! I WANTED TO GRAB SOME PANCAKES BEFORE WE LEFT, AND YOU KNOW IT!" Krakkan lets out a very deep laugh. The gnome storms around the deck yelling to himself before returning below deck.

"Well " says Dekket " The Cap is calling. Sorry gentelmens..." he stands from the table he has been gamling all night.
" Two more gold pieces... not bad to add to the funds of this losers..." he thinks to himself.
After putting his black hat, adorned wth a red feather, he walks confident and humming towards the ship. The Crimson Dagger.

Dekket jumps into the vessel and runs to help the Captain tying the ropes.
"You were lucky Captain! I was about to visit Madame'ss Trorsty House! But when Captain Silver Tooth calls one has to answer the call!"

Kuno asks: "What kind of opposition should we expect? How about patrols on the water? Do we know where we will strike?"
(OOC: About where is Libertalia on the map? I assume its a unmapped settlement.)

"What else needs to be done before we set sail?" Kathra asks with her eyes shifting between the captain and the first mate.
"Should I help with something? Or can I go get another ale before we sail?"
|PbP: Divisions| Varis Xiloscient | Elf Cleric (3)
Kuno looks from Kathra to the Captain
"I second that. I could use some ale unless you have something for us to do beforehand."

Dekket tries hard not to laugh and says to Krakkan.
”If that was the cook... I will drink from another mans cup for a few days if I would be you”

Kuno eyes the enraged gnome storming around deck and casually avoids him until he disappears below deck.
Kuno then leans against the rail and watches the sea fly by.
