Kor is probably putsing around trying to careen the ship and more importantly fix the left over damage that was ignored in the flight from Blue Elf Island.

What'll ye be wanting with Kor? I'll send him up to the cap'n and first mate.

Well we want to tell you to make the lazy bum crew do some work. But also, we're going to very soon find out Willow isn't in the brig and that'll be your fault, mate. So we'll need to ask ye kindly where she is.

EDIT: Right just read the thread. The crew were supposed to be helping you anyway, but they got distracted with the newcomers. Myself and my mate are going to the brig to see what kind of trash we've picked up this time around I might let some of you out of the brig, depends how y'all act.

Then, after we have a little interaction about Willow, I'll put Earniel on watch, with Sava and Eresse. Then everyone, including me bad self, (so that's Flannery, DIck, Sharkbait, GIII, Rana, Bob (ha!) and me) will give you a hand.

Also, just a note. Shall we keep Sicirus' character in the game? If not, I propose we promote Koroush to Second Mate. So he has a proper role in all his usefullness. After all, Willow, when we forgive her, can do quarter master duties if she stays on. Dick is a good carpenter (is he not? Or was that a good seamstress? ...hmm..) We can give everyone a job instead of having Koroush be the only productive one. I think that way people will know more what they should be doing around the ship when we set sail.

Willow will be delighted to stay on and be quartermaster again.

I agree that everyone should be given a job and should probably do at least a little research into what that job actually entails. More interesting that way. Less chaotic. Not that a little chaos is a bad thing... but we've been having an overload lately.

OKay, I have had a think. Dangerous, I know...but how about this?

Captain
Xenoia Karris

First Mate
Eärniel

Second Mate and Carpenter
Koroush

Navigator
Eärniel

Trimmers (2 or 3) (controlling the sails shapes)
Sava, Eresse

Quarter master
Willow

Master at Arms
Flannery

Cook
Glorfindel III

Deckhands (3 or 4)
Flannery, Kid, Sharkbait, Bob (sort of. He’s often on deck at least)

Helmsman (or woman)
Rana, Enelya

Boatswain
Jack

Gunner
Megil, Eresse (and everyone else during a battle)

Powder Monkey
Elendendil, Jack, Enelya (and whoever is available during battle)

Seamsman ? ... Sewer
Dick

Nippers (to weigh anchor)
Oak Leaf, Megil


Oh, and who's Erenion?

If the position is also in italics, that means you don't need to do that all the time. And so you should have another position you are under to help with. If that makes sense.

well, i guess Jack'd live (for the momment) with third mate (or Boatswain by another name) , but i canna see him bein' a monkey ...

... course' he'd prefer the dual role of quartermaster, or more aptly and specifically ...RUM and grog master

and simultaneously master of arms ...

but adventurers canna always be choosers and third mate or boatswain will do till he hunts down his crew and boat .... or befriends the quartermaster and gets too drunk to bother ...

tho' the lucky third sounds a like ol' Jack ....charmed fer sure ... pr'aps best to point out heirachey was nae'r ee's strong point like ...

Wasn't Erenion TD's character aboard the Nal? Haven't seen TD for months though. His last post was from June.

I've been watching the Hornblower miniseries, very enlighting in that respect. But then again, us being pirates and not tied to any specific sailing aera, I guess we can take some liberties...

Can GIII also be one of the fighting hands, him being an excellent swordsman, archer, knife-handler?

Wow, Kor is an officer! Or something similar....

Hey, he is moving up in the world, though I doubt he knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the NAL.

Well BB, I figured this. The highest positions are taken, and I know Eärniel is First mate and Navigator, but she always has been. As much as Jack may like the Nal she's my ship, if ye gets me drift.

Koroush got Second Mate because of his service to the ship, and his general usefulness. He is also the best carpenter by far, so will remain in charge of that. Though he may now delegate. Also, Willow was our Quartermaster of old, and Koroush stood in for her. Now she's back, once we decide she's tellin the truth she gets her old job back, because she did it well. I gave Jack Bosun, because he's the next most experienced aboard a ship. Fair?

When it comes to a battle, everyone has to fight and be gunners and powder monkeys. But I wanted to have some of you in charge of it, so the rest could be guided. But if Jack ain't happy...well just Bosun for ye, and if ye sits around during a fight know there'll be trouble

So...

Quote:

Yes. See above.

Katt, Dick will probably end up being very useful then. He can help Willow, because she's too small to move the boxes around when taking inventory etc. And obviously, he can fight.

So yeah, that's why I gave some of you certain jobs, if anyone wants to swap or whatever, let me know. Hopefully you're all happy though.

Well when everyone has had a look and seen their jobs, we can work the duty giving into the thread. Kor ought to be mighty happy when he's called into me cabin for promotion.

Regarding my last post here. I figured TD is gone, I might as well do the old Obsidian revenge things by meself. Anyone is welcome to help with these characters, BUT you should know that they are part of the old quest story. So all you lovely shiny new crewmembers, if you don't know why the revenge is set to be had, or who it is for etc, then either read the end of the old quest, or don't try to write plotty revengey posts for Harrow and Harlequin's crew.

Once everyone realises we're being chased, it is highly likely you will all get an explanation. But, they are not in range yet. Not nearly, and Willow's characters also need to be on their way to finding us before Harrow will.

Oh yeah...I forgot what TD's ship was called, was it the Ebony Maid? or Star or somthing? So I called it Emerald Star II so y'all knew what I was talking about

Nice post, Xen. As for the name of Harrow's new ship, it was named the Wraak (Dutch word for revenge). I think some of our RPG-players here made a character in the Wraak crew too.
