Jude Terror wrote:The Weasel is standing quietly alone with only his Blanket and his Trenchcoat, pondering his course of action. He has achieved dominance over this tiny vessel, and it will surely be his first step towards dominance over the universe. But first, they must find land. "Trenchcoat, Blanket... it is time that you work together. We must come up with a plan to reach land. As a born leader, I know that it is important that I myself do as little work as possible. Therefore, I must delegate. We must see if any of my minions has a compass and the ability to use one. We must gather makeshift oars, and assign weak-minded but able bodied minions to operate them. Do either of you have any other ideas?"

"I say we try not to get killed by pirates!" says Trench Coat, alerting you to the presence of the Dark Water. You had been so deep in evil meditation that you didn't hear all the hooping and hollering going on around you. Mice squeak, after all.

"Pirates! Excellent. Surely they will recognize me as a kindred evil soul, and I will get them to join me on my quest of domination. But just in case, we will need a suitably evil backup plan, and I may just have one." The Weasel tries to judge how long they have before the ship reaches the raft.

The Weasel draws his spyglass and examines the ship, trying to judge the number of men on board.

Quid pro quo, Jude! You've got monkey wrenches... I've got monkey wrenches!

"Pirates!" River screams out. "This is the last time I go anywhere near the ocean." he says while palming his face.

"Any ideas fellow castaways? Perhaps they are here to.....rescue us?"

It's slowing down so about an hour, and there's no guarantee they'll immediately engage.

Spot check. No DC, just roll. The result will determine how well you see.

Egg Sock the Goblin Warrior agrees, waving his arms wildly and praising the goblinoid gods.

Pinky, you fear this ship may be full of barbarians coming to eat you.

The Weasel reaches into Trenchcoat's pocket, where he keeps his snake (his familiar, perverts!), and clutches it.

(Snakes give bonuses to Bluff checks. Were you looking for a Spot bonus?)

You can make out at least 20 guys on one side of the ship, manning the cannons, scrambling about or climbing the mast, re-furling the sails, etc. You've got angle going against you, though, so there's bound to be many, many more. And did I mention, they're manning the cannons?

(It says +2 on my character sheet for alertness if the familiar is in reach (different from the bluff bonus within one mile I guess) - I don't know about it, but the character generator wrote it there. Doesn't matter to me though.)

The Weasel looks toward River. "You, Rogue... come here. I have a despicably evil plan which may give us a decided advantage in the negotiations we are about to partake in, and it will require your skills to complete. But of course, first things first. How well do you swim?"

The Weasel also calls for Sabo. "Fool, I will require use of the portable hole. Give it to me."

"Does this plan involve you wizards making us invisible to that ship?!" River responds to the clearly delusional goth. "I'm an okay swimmer. What do you have in mind?"

"If these pirates do not surrender to us," the Weasel grins, "you're going to sink their ship."

Pinky sees the ship and turns white as a ghost. His mouth starts moving but no sound comes out. He starts pointing with a shaky hand. "Sh...Sh...Ship...pp pp!" He tries to scream but it comes out as more of a whisper. "Its them! The Barbarians!" He s shaking so badly that you almost expect to see a puddle to start appearing at his feet.
Pinky looks around and sees that almost nobody noticed that he had turned white. Then turns red. Deathly afraid to insanely pissed in less than a second. "EVERYONE TO ARMS!" He screams. "These bloody bastards are going to get what they deserve." He pulls his hammer out and and starts waving it around as if fighting imaginary enemies.
