BACKFLIP ROLL

Ragdollmaster (Troy) [4]:
"And by that I mean, if worst comes to worst, we actually have ridiculous amounts of money at the ready. Not quite ready to publicly discuss that, just telling you so you don't worry about us going bankrupt or something. As for making money, we don't really need to, per se, but at the next town, we can pick up odd jobs or something if really necessary. More likely, if we can find some nice loot to sell, that'll be the way we go."
"Shhh...don't mention that to the peons. They need to be motivated. Make them think they need to risk their lives for money we don't have."
You give him your best mischievous look, then go back to piloting.
Erm.
Where are you going again?

Character


Miggles (Robert Wright) [6]:
You warily watch the mystery machinery for a few more minutes, but they only continue their movement and don't do anything different.
Satisfied that it won't suddenly grow teeth and bite your hands off, you walk over and brush your hands over some of the non-moving parts. Amazing, all of it. Many panels have rows upon rows of very small runes inscribed into them. God, you could spend days just examining the runes and get nowhere. Wait, maybe you're doing this wrong.
You take a step back and examine the machine as a whole. It definitely harvests energy somehow, and sends it to the flotation generators around the ship. The energy is sent through the cables, the cables are connected to... some boxes, and the boxes are connected to the rings with some more cables.
So the rings harvest the energy, send it to the boxes, and the boxes send it out to the flotation gens. The hard part is figuring out how any of them work without taking them apart and shutting the whole engine down.
Well, you can probably make some rudimentary repairs to this. Damaged runes, broken cables, the basic stuff, you can handle. Maybe if you found a proper source of information on modern engine technology.

Character


Fail Flail (Grif Mason) [9]:
Having had enough of this crap, you go back belowdecks and hop into your hammock for a quick nap.
The gentle rocking of the boat quickly sends you off to a restful sleep.

Character


Izen (Sedraxis) [4]:
"I guess we can go treasure hunting. Although I don't know where there's any treasure. Did anybody think to pick up a map while we were in town?"
"No, but I think we should go to the south west, what about you guys?"
You shrug. Not like you've got any better ideas right now.

Character


Maart3n (Mareikura) [5]:
"I guess we can go treasure hunting. Although I don't know where there's any treasure. Did anybody think to pick up a map while we were in town?"
"No, but I think we should go to the south west, what about you guys?"
You loiter around on deck with the others, waiting for something.

Character


Tomaster (James Tiber) [7]:
"And by that I mean, if worst comes to worst, we actually have ridiculous amounts of money at the ready. Not quite ready to publicly discuss that, just telling you so you don't worry about us going bankrupt or something.

"Shhh...don't mention that to the peons. They need to be motivated. Make them think they need to risk their lives for money we don't have."
He gives you a quick *wink wink nudge nudge*, and goes back to paying attention to the controls. Not like the ship is doing anything...
You take another swig anyway because why the hell not, head out to the others on deck, and yell.
"ALRIGHT YOU PANTYWAISTS, WHO WANTS TO SWORDFIGHT?"

Character


Game Events: The ship sits in the sky, waiting for the captain to order it somewhere.

Miggles and Fail Flail~

Continue sleeping? try to level something up with glorious zzz's

ROLLBISCUIT

Ragdollmaster (Troy) [3]:
Before you can set off somewhere, Rob walks in.
"I need to find some information on modern engines, since I know ♥♥♥♥ all about our new one. We should wait, in case something happens, we don't want to be stuck with a broken engine and an incompetent engineer, or worse. Let me quickly look around for someone or something to help before we depart, please."
"Alright. We're still close enough to go back and re-dock."

Character


Miggles (Robert Wright) [4]:
It probably won't break any time soon, but those are famous last words. You head up on deck to the Captain's Cabin, and address him.

Character


Fail Flail (Grif Mason) [5]:
You sleep fitfully for a few more minutes, before waking up from your power-nap, feeling good.

Character


Izen (Sedraxis) [2]:
"I'm pretty sure the only other person on the deck that even has a sword is the captain, so I don't think you'll have many takers."
"You got a spear."
...♥♥♥♥, he's right.

Character


Maart3n (Mareikura) [2]:
You'd repeat your suggestion, but you'd probably just be wasting your breath. Instead, you head down belowdecks and to the engine room.
...Holy ♥♥♥♥, this thing is crazy.

Character


Tomaster (James Tiber) [9]:
"I'm pretty sure the only other person on the deck that even has a sword is the captain, so I don't think you'll have many takers."
"You got a spear. Don't be a pussy. You can fight swords with other weapons."
He shuffles around a bit uncomfortably, neither accepting or denying your swordfight proposal.

Character


Game Events: The Storm Sylph turns around, heading back towards the docks mere minutes after leaving. It docks again without problems, but certainly a lot of confused and interested looks.

Give people any amount of freedom and they're likely to screw around for eternity.

No player is exempt from that rule.

I have so many plans for encounters and questlines and such, how are none of them deployed yet.
