With a sigh, Henry decides to leave Gobiath for a while, returns to the longboat and returns to the ship.

"Anchors Awiegh" he commands, as the crew heave the capstan and loose the main'sail sheets.

He steers a course south'wards to seek fame and adventure at sea.

As Henry's ship neared the docks, he saw they were devoid of people. "Damn their eyes!" swore Henry. "Weigh Anchor!" he bellowed, and the crew responded, furling the Mainsheets and dropping the anchor. "Fetch a lighter!" he ordered, and a longboat was heaved overside an...

Henry's return

~Open RP to those on the docks~ The wind was blowing Sou'east by east, and the ship "Revenge" was clawing toward Gobiath's Docks on the starboard tack. The crew were moving up the ratlines smoothly, mechanically as if a well-oiled machine. The Captain stood on the Quarterdeck, eyeing the m...

The surviving sailors clamber up the shore and see a man, waiting at the docks. They scamper over and plead for water. The former captain says to the man, "We are from the merchant boat 'Prosperity', bound for here , but we were attacked by pirates. They took our ship and our cargo. Please help...

A small dinghy of 5 surviving sailors arrives at the Docks. They clamber out and look a little tired and thirsty. They look for anyone at the docks they can tell their story to, for a little bit of fresh water.

The battle was over before it began. The merchant boat, hopelessly outclassed, surrendered without a fight. Of the crew, only three volunteered and the rest were set adrift on a dinghy. In the cargo were about 100 bricks, some fur and some horns. There was two passengers on board, and they were offe...

The morning was going well upon the "Ghost". The sails were close-hauled on the starboard tack, making about 12 knots. The crew were busy with light repairs and swabbing the decks. The captain stood on the quarterdeck, holding the rail and thinking how nice it was to be at sea again. Most ...

After a day of sailing, the "Ghost" approached the small island which produced this Volcanic plume. The Captain, asleep in his cabin, was alerted by a crewmember once the Isle was in sight. He awoke with a start, grabbed his coat and dashed up the small ladder leading to the Main Deck. The...

Sailing two days after the raid on the 'Fish-eaters', South by South-west, the "Ghost" had passed the 'Three Sisters' and had just rounded the unoccupied southern coast of Gobiath. The early morning sun shone brightly and warmed the Captain's blood as he stood by the Quarterdeck railing. T...

Desecration of The Lizard Temple

~A story related in the Fluffy Sheep recently by a lizard~ Early in the twilight of the setting sun, a dark shape emerged from the horizon off of the shores of Zzyathis. Barely visible in the dim evening twilight, the ship became invisible as Starlight failed to illuminate it. A slight splash, grunt...

Early yesterday morning, a fog bank rolled near the shores of the island of Tol Vanima. Unlike other fogs in the past, only elven eyes could notice a dark silouette of a ship as it weaved within the fog. 'Ding, Ding' like piercing banshees rang a bell. As the noon sun began to burn the fog back, a s...
