The Salty [Phalla]: Curse of the Crusty Pearls - VILLAGE VICTORY
Posts
On the deck:
Skyler the Killer (wildwood) has the additional responsibility as the gunner, for the rest of ya bilge rats are no good at it
Shaka Moneymaker (Gandalf)
Bandalor Grieg (Lucedes)
Huffington (Extermatott)
On the sails:
Tim (Phyphor)
Jack Burnhart (Matev)
Salty Bob (Diorinix)
Anthony Anchises (Teurican)
Orokos (Infidel)
Blaine Dread (mEEksa)
With Captain Stoutsparrow the Plunderer at the helm, and the completely hook-handed Rocky Grifterfellow there to keep him entertained with naughty stories about how he hooked up with the governor's twin daughters, the Ten Tanks sets sail out from the limey port of Tortuga, seeking their fortune on the tropical seas of the islands of the Caribbean. The wind at their backs, there's no trouble with the captain's sanity, and he maintains a steady course - the only way things could fall apart is if the crew were somehow... derelict in their duties.
Appointed by the captain to be the gunnery master, Skyler the Killer whips his lads into shape, maintaining the deck's quality, and ensuring the grog flowed freely to all those in dangerous vicinity to the dreaded soberity. Unfortunately, while his back is turned, Bandalor Grieg points at Shaka Moneymaker and says his beard is stupid, and the two break into a fight that leaves them unable to work the decks. Fortunately, things go fine without them. (Decks Check: 5 + 2 = 7, SUCCESS)
On the rigging and sails, Anthony Anchises manages to keep his scrapping feelings to himself, and the ship sails free and clear. (Sails Check: 3 + 6 = 9, SUCCESS)
The ship spots an island on the horizon, and they press forth, eventually making landfall. Captain Stoutsparrow the Plunderer, deciding that there is more adventure to be had if the whole crew explores the island, pushes all the crew of the ship down the gangplank, discovering that they're arrived on...
THE ABANDONED TEMPLE
Walking around the ancient, derelict structure, the crew stumbles upon small caches of treasure, though the place looked as though it had been picked clean over the years by pirates and other scavengers of booty. Still, with the crew's expert eye for stealing, and the captain's love of plunder unmatched on all the seven seas, they make off with a respectable haul. +53 GOLD
The week ends, with all the pirates drinking heartily to their first success. And to many more to come! -12 GROG
END OF WEEK TALLY
BOOTY: 53

We'll give the crew and captain some time to discuss further plans before we begin the new week, shall we?
Arrrrrrr wildwood, it does me heart good to see that a hearty like ye unnerstands so well. It be me fury that be the terror o' marines all along the Spanish Main!
Booty like that gives me a hankering for some grog. Shall we stop into port next?
Roll on the Port Happenings table immediately upon arriving at Port. When the Pirates arrive at Port each of them will spend one Booty on the essentials, which includes enough grog to keep them happy. If they do not have enough Booty they manage to steal enough to get by. After leaving the brothel more Grog may be bought for one Booty a barrel. The crew may also spend one Booty and one Grog to recruit a new Pirate, rolling for their Strength in the same way as with a starting pirate. Any number of pirates can be hired at a Port in this way. Pirates do not drink the ship's grog while in port, as it's included in their "essential" costs.
but first: GROG AND STRUMPETS!
This curse, t'is an evil business, but since I've had me daily ration o' grog, an' liberated the Captain's ration as well, I'm tempora'ly confident that I can overcome 't all, become Captain, an' find a score o' whores ta claim as me own with the captain's share of the booty, which we'll purloin on arr way t' the next port.
An' since democracy be fer the weak and sober, ye should all listen te me and vote 38th Doe te walk th' plank, seein as how I carefully reached out an' flogged the first scallywag I came across this mornin'....or is it afternoon? who can say... an' it was this blimey landlubber. So he must be curs'd.
Alegis
Come ta think of it, thar be alot worse things tha' stealin muh booze, but dey ain't dat much worse!
Its me, the Rusty Iron Fist and I sail the seven seas punching the stuffing out of everyone and leaving them with a nasty series of rust based infections. For some grog and coin, I'll join your side, who ever you be
His avatar is far too cute for a seafarin' lass grabbin' grog drinkin' pirate.
Lock the door to your cabin tonight, Lucedes. The cabin boy is coming....
godmode, because he thinks piratey stuff is confusing.
There still be room on me crew for da oth'errs
Not at all! One could say I savvy the piratey goings-on, but a game within a game with only a certain number of players making their own individual votes for their own actions in their game?
It's messy.
kill them allllll
So long as there be wagerin' goin' on as part o' the game, I won't say nothin' 'gainst it. An' if you have a problem with it, give 'em a good kick in the teeth, ya yellow-livered dirt-eater!
Should I also shoot anyone that keeps us from achieving our goal? For example, if we'd rolled lower on Decks this time, shooting Grieg would have made the difference between success and failure.
What say ye, Captain? Kill the malingerers if they get in the way?
Heffling, you lying sack of whale fat! Has your buggery finally gone so far that your head is completely stuck up your own arse? Have you thrown all your grog away a-wooing the cabin boy, to go about pointing fingers like this?
Get a proper drunk on, man, so we can fight this out proper. I can't abide the weak-minded lies of a man who seems almost... sober. (shudder)
Don't ye be worryin. Ten Tanks sails fer its own adventures, and I no be commandeerin my crew's votes in the Salty Phalla (though it be nice if ringo were ta dance the hempen jig).
When we hit port i'll be recruitin more suitable buccanneers. Got some booty ta spend
DrDinosaur, because I don't trust a doctor without thumbs.

Yarrr... My name be Boatswain Skiddles, and I do be heartily endorsing this message.
'r at least th' delivery.
It do warm me heart almost as much as the grog (an' the cook's questionable food preparation *belch*) t' see a man talk in such a manner, pirate to scurvy dog.
Avast! Don't be shootin ma crew just yet. A dead pirate is a no good pirate. If they be raisin trouble they won't be gettin booty
Understood, Cap'n. Only kill to save others, and as the mood strikes me.
Is there something you'd like to say to the class, Alegis?
I offer you victory in PHA/LLA and your subsequent reaction is to vig me and then vote for me endlessly.
You are most ungrateful
