There are figures of Davy Jones everywhere, from statuettes to cloth dolls to painted signs, as if the residents are trying to ward off bad luck.

Gawk at the wide reverse waterfall as it goes up the mountain, or the more regular waterfall that goes down the other side.

Lady Shangxiang? Yeah, she's cute. But she grew up with two tough brothers and a famous warlord for a father, so she's really into fighting. Even her bodyguards - all women, mind - stand in full armor and are ready for battle at any moment.

Sounds to me like we could tell each other a lot of great stories, all night long.

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad grins a little bit.]

We probably could, although I don't have that many stories yet. I will though, someday. I'd love to hear some though!

[youhearthebells]

No? Well, all right, I got more than enough. I could tell ya all about the battle at Ruxukou, where I took a hundred men in against thousands and didn't lose a single one. Or Yiling, where we set the enemy troops on fire...

[borntochangetheworld]

[He leans forward with anticipation.]

I love stories. I have met some of the finest story tellers in my time and each one has completely enthralled me. Were it not for them, I may still be in my small village. Please, tell me any you wish.

[youhearthebells]

Heh! Well, I ain't good with fancy words but I can still spin a tale. [and brag. He tells a slightly more bloody version of the same story he told Ryuuhime over the journals, since a fellow sailor and fighter can handle the actual details of what a hundred men have to do in order to ambush and destroy an army ten times their size. And he's pretty proud of that.]

...course, that wasn't the last we'd ever seen of Cao Cao and his stupid ambition, but that did put a dent in his plans for a while.

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad grins, because he certainly doesn't mind a story where the army gets their asses kicked. Of course, bragging comes with the territory.]

Sounds like they were pretty unprepared. You must be a pretty smart tactician to come up with that and pull it off. It's the best kind of victory when everyone goes home.

[youhearthebells]

Hah! Nah, I'm not the tactician. Sure, I mentioned my ideas to Lu Meng, but he was the one who came up with the plan. That's what we got strategists for, so I don't have to do the thinking.

[and really, Sinbad, you do not want this one trying to think.]

[borntochangetheworld]

As long as you've got one on your side, you should be fine. That's my thing, since it was just me. My kingdom is pretty small so far. [He chuckles lightly.]

Ja'far has promised not to kill me for now.
