"I thought the dress looked great!" he retorts over his shoulder on his way to the meeting room.

[chese780]

As Jacen walks back to the storage room, he finds that the door is already locked. The meeting room is to the left, the door almost perpendicular to the storage room. If the Quartermaster was in there, she must be hiding.

Walking in, he finds that some of the officers are already waiting, but Agemmon and the Quartermaster have yet to arrive.

[spyguy1503]

He knocks on the door of the storage room. "I know you're curious, and I'm only explaining once. I promise no dresses this time! And you can wear my hat!" he calls inside.

[chese780]

As he knocks on the door, the Quartermaster taps him on the shoulder. She is now wearing the attire of a pirate, complete with a skull cap and leather boots. "I knew you'd come for the gunpowder, so I waited. As for your hat, no thank you." She walks into the meeting room, but before she he is out of earshot, she calls. "If anyone puts on a dress this time, it's going to be you!" As she walks in, Agemmon appears from the stairs, also heading towards the meeting room.

-------------------------------
(OOC: There are about four officers, twelve regular crewmen, you, the QM, and your FM. That's your ship. Oh, and the pilot and guy in the crow's nest.. Enjoy.)

[spyguy1503]

"Gunpowder? I thought it was whiskey... " he mutters as he walks into the meeting room. He takes a swig of coffee and begins. "Ladies and gentlepirates, I have a plan. No, it does not involve dresses. I have received word through my informants that the Locust is sailing from {city} to {other city} next Tuesday. Now, that is not interesting in and of itself, but the cargo, yes, the cargo, intrigues me. Obviously, the Locust is a rival of ours. Now, I have also learned that Mance Torres, the fence, has come across with a set of Imperial uniforms. Also, the Empire has passed a 10% tax on all shipments, 20% if any contraband is found, plus all contraband found is confiscated as well. Now, anyone see my plan here? We buy up the uniforms, dress up the Harmony (new name) like a Imperial ship, and come alongside. {Captain of the Locust Mal} Ryan will surrender, he always does. There's no way he pays the tax before leaving, so we "collect" it right then and there. If they have already paid The Man, we pretend that they were the fakes, and show them a seal that we completely made up and tell them that it's official. Now, he knows me, and my face. Most of us will be disguised, but the Quartermaster he has never met. She will be our face, something like... "Colonel Jacklyn Payne" She does the talking, while I will be disguised as a random soldier with different hair and such. We search the ship, take 10% of his cargo. Now, I know that class of ship, and I know all the hiding places. I'll find whatever he's got, and I know he has something. When we find it, we seize it and another 10% of his cargo. Estimated profit is..." he turns to his main numbers guy, Matt Flynn. "Something like two and a half million gp, correct?" Assuming assent, he continues. "Split among the crew, that's about 7500 gp for each man, double for you officers. Questions?"

[chese780]

(OOC: What's a GP? Fine, it's the Harmony now.)

The Quartermaster looks at him, staring. "That's a lot of money. I'll be fine with one-hundred electrum, I don't need anything more."

From this comment, Agemmon looks over, "You would actually turn down a couple thousand electrum? You crazy?" he says, as others star in disbelief. The Quartermaster stares into his face, "Is that a problem? Do you remember the last time?" With that comment, Agemmon and one of the other officers hold their wrists close to their chests. "We remember," they say in unison. She looks around, "Now, anything else?"

Right as she says this, a man bursts in breathing heavily. "We.. have a... problem."

[spyguy1503]

"What's happening, Stevens?" he says, already cocking his pistol.

[chese780]

(OOC: You have named almost every member of your crew, aside from half the crew and two officers.)
--------------------------------
Stevens stands there, seemingly out of breath still. "Pirates... port side..."

Agemmon stands up, "More raiders? What is this, the third time this week?"

The Quartermaster just reclines in her chair, "Wonder who it is this time..." before sighing, "I'll go grab my things..."

The other three officers stand up, preparing their swords.

-------------------------
OOC: C-C-C-Combat!

[spyguy1503]

Jacen sighs heavily, drains the coffee mug, and walks outside, yelling orders. "Prepare the cannons for a port broadside! Prepare to repel boarders from port! ALL HANDS ON DECK!" He snags his hat on the way out. "Let's do this" he mutters.

[chese780]

All of the crewmen, except for the few prepping the cannons, run up to the main deck with cutlass or dagger in hand. As Terro walks up the stairs, he sees a ship of a similar size to his own. However, this ship has no cannons on it, only around two people swinging across on ropes and three already on board.

The Quartermaster walks into storage, grabbing her falchion and dropping of her coat.

========================
(OOC: All of the other crewmen are busy with their own problems atm.)

A crewmen and a pirate both initiate a dagger fight, which leads nowhere.

Two more pirates swing onto the main deck, preparing to enter the fight. Another man, dressed like a captain, and a few more pirates prepare to board. Another pirate and crewmen swing at each other, each making contact. The pirate goes down, and the crewmen is critically injured, and is already moving back to the stairs.

Jacen fires his pistol at a pirate, but misses as the man stumbles, dropping his cutlass. Agemmon also stumbles and drops his cutlass.

The Quartermaster and two more crewmen appear from the stairs.

The dagger combatants both continue their duel, neither making any contact. Another crewmen was moving to assist, but was struck down by a pirate that had just joined the fray.

Other crewmen move to assist, but the pirates do the same.

As the Quartermaster moves, she immediately eyes the captain. She yells "Back!" to Jacen before she takes use of her falchion. A smaller blade swings out of the original, causing the weapon to increase in length by about a foot. Jacen just continues to reload.

Jacen fires at 2, then moves out of the way.

[chese780]

As Agemmon lays there, bleeding out, two more crewmen appear after being alerted by the escaping Crewmen. One of the crewmen moves to him. Three people lay bleeding on the floor, and more continue to do so as the Quartermaster strikes down a pirate in a single blow.

The two dueling with daggers continue to do battle, the pirate finally managing to make contact. Another dagger-holder comes into the fray and stabs a crewmen. A few pirates start moving in to surround the dagger wielding crewmen and his cutlass wielding friend.

The Pirate Captain finally makes his move as he stabs the Quartermaster through the left shoulder. When he tries to pull his cutlass out of her shoulder however, the blade stays in place.
