Battle On Th' High Seas

[highseasmods]

Who: Anyone who wants to partake
Where: In the waters between Turvey Top and Ebony & Ivory
When: October 17th 2pm-6pm
What: Battle, mayhem, treasure and piracy
Warnings: Violence
Status: Very open!


Around 1:45pm, ships gathered in the waters between Turvey Top and Ebony & Ivory will see the gigantic Naval frigate, the Argustos, chugging through the calm waters to destinations unknown. Close by and running a little ahead on the wind is a Naval scout ship, caravel class, named Pantopes.

Sharp eyes will be able to spot the ships on the Argustos' tail, though, and the giant frigate will weigh anchor to prepare for the attack of the Corpse King and his five ship Armada, made of three caravels and two brig sloops.

The Corpse King himself has a brig sloop, Achlys and will be at the back end of the battle, providing cover fire.


Feel free to attack to your heart's content and loot wherever you wish. There's great treasures there for the bold and daring, and most unpleasant deaths for the unwary.

[Elsa isn't very sure about how nobody on the ship could stand against them three, at the very least she's sure the captain would. But she's not going to be pessimistic and is still praying that somehow Hawtrey will be busy somewhere else.]

With the naval battle, he may not even be here if we're lucky. We should be careful with the poison just in case, I'm not sure he would really be the type to care for his own crew.

[And since they are taking a direct approach she conjures two snowmen, quite big and tough looking, ready to bodyguard them and help with the fight.]

[The two of them need to have more faith. A world of grossly unfair options are available to them to exploit!]

Poison powders against the three of us would be a greater risk for his own crew than us, it's true. But if I were a captain who used them, I would inoculate my crew against them, so we should not count on that.

Perhaps we might gain an advantage if you coated the deck in ice? I can fly, and Robin can simply grow hands from the ice to hold herself if need be, yes?

[The two large snowmen were starting to draw attention. Before too many people started looking in their direction, Robin crossed her arms and clutched a swath across the boat, dropping a number of men and women unconscious and sending chaos rippling through Hawtrey's ranks.]

I've handled worse than ice before, yes.

[Another Robin rises out of the ground, giggles and winks at the three of them, and runs into the melee, her own arms crossing and duplicating almost like a dance.]

The state room ought to be just around the corner, provided this ship follows the common layout. Let's go!

[Robin moves around the wall of the aft cabin, hoping Hawtrey wouldn't have kept his quarters below decks.]

[letthestormrageon]

In that case, please let me bring them some early winter joy.

[She slams her foot down and in seconds the full deck is covered in a layer of slippery ice. With a wave one of the snowmen goes after Robin's double to provide further assistance.

She says nothing more before she sets off after the real Robin, for now keeping the other snowman close but ready to send it first towards more enemies.]

If we encounter resistance, hold fast. I will tilt the ship, and put the ice to that much greater use.

[A faint corona of light surrounds the Princess's horn, and if they peer carefully, they might see it around her as well. A duster may be stylish, but magic is far better protection against projectiles.]
