Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arrin was excited for battle, but this time she tried to use a little common sense instead of just hurling herself into the fray. She was only armed with a knife and hammer (since she hadn't earned enough dubloons to afford a larger weapon yet) she decided to play it safe and stay near the back, taking care of the enemy fighters who had already been wounded at least.

"Arr, 'tis a good thing I'm not up ahead like some others" she muttered as she slit a fallen pirate's throat. "I'd be fishbait for sure, even if I had some other blade 'sides this knife." It hadn't taken Arrin long to realize that not only was she under-armed compared to some others, she also had a distinct size disadvantage. True, she wasn't that much smaller than the rest of the crew, but some of these enemy pirates were pretty big. All in all, it was probably best for her to stay in the background. After all, someone had to keep the wounded foes from rising again. Still, she would have liked a bigger slice of the action. "Just wait 'till I get me a sword...and a few more inches on me. Then I'll show 'em." Still muttering to herself, Arrin continued about her task.

Captain's Hat +10

The Captain stepped aside nimbly as a large, mostly blunt kitchen knife was thrust angrily at her by a portly sailor. A quick swish of her significantly sharper cutlass and the poor sod was done for.

The crew of the Spanish vessel was truly no match for her own band of untrained but vicious fighters. The Dementia's pirates may be fresh from the cradle but most of them had rudimentary skills with sharpened objects, unlike the crew of the wallowing trader, who were almost universally unfamiliar with any sort of weapon.

It was ridiculously easy. It wasn't pretty, or fair, but that was piracy. Katherine gave the fallen sailor a quick once over for hidden valuables and then headed off to help slaughter the remaining Spaniards.

With the added bonus from getting above 70%, crew shares equal four doubloons.

Ship's boys get one share (four doubloons each), Seamen get one and 1/4 share (five doubloons each) and officers get one and 1/2 share (six doubloons each).

You cannot spend these doubloons until you are next in port.

Since the ship was not heavily damaged, it is possible to sell the ship to a local Ship Yard, or you may sink the ship.

Rachel hears a distict voice she was familiar with, it was the voice of that young boy Gabriel, she goes over to where the voice was coming from, and ran right into Gabriel, "What are you doing out here?" She asks him looking fairly stern, "for all you know we could still have been in battle!" she pauses for a moment to hear what Gabriel has to say for himself.

Rachel sighs, "Yes we will be doing our lesson. Go grab your training sword, and I will meet you down at the training dummies."

She goes over to her room to put away her gun, then heads off to the training dummies to teach Gabriel how to fight.

With the battle over John had returned quickly to the Galley avoiding any of the slippery blood on the deck. He was rather glad he wouldnt have to smell that or clean it. Of course he knew he needed to work fast, the battle had been short but intense and soon many of his fellow shipmates were going to want to eat despite have just removed other peoples innards.personaly as distastefull as it wav he wasn't eating anything more complex than hardtack untill his stomach felt less queasy.

Rachel gets down to the room with the training dummies, to see Gabriel already there waiting for her. She starts marking Large X's on the dimmies.

"Alright Gabriel, this is you last lesson and then I will give you a final test," She smiles, "you have been doing great, and you are almost ready to fight in a real battle!"
