Up in his crow's nest, Silas spotted the form of Del Fuaco in the early morning sun. It was still a good bit of distance away. He looked down to the deck, aglow with the orange light of the early morning. "Land ho! Del Fuaco Straight Ahead!" He yelled. He made sure after that to pack away his knives. One in his boot, another in his sleeve, he hid the third one where nobody would find it. He then put on his sheath belt.
"Here goes bloody nothin.." he whispered to himself, hoping that he'd soon get a plan to get out of this mess. _________________ "A long time ago, way back in history, when all there was to drink was naught but cups o' tea, along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops, and he invented a wonderful drink, and he made it out of hops!"
Was sloped and leaning forwards on the Wheel, one compass in her left hand, a bottle of rum in the other. Her head was down, like she was sleeping. When Silas shouted from the crows nest, she blinked, and looked around with a grin.
"Aye! I said I'd get yer rotten scoudrels to Del Fauco! Aye! There's a good Admiral for yer, ain't I?"
She staggers over towards the pole leading to the crows nest and placed a hand over her forehead to sheild from sun.
"Good work, me matey!"
She chuckled and then turned to the others.
"PREPARE THE SHIP FOR DEFENCE!! WE'LL BE PULLING CLOSE TO SHORE!! DO IT NOW, ME MATEYS!" _________________ Aye..I fought two Carthallions an' survived.
He looked to the bow and stern, a weight heavy on his heart. "This is it." He said. He began reeling down the ship penant. He strung the new one up, put on his knife belt and sat in the crows nest, waiting for his change to pull the plan out of his ass. He need only wait to get near enough to the Del Fuaco port for them to see the ship. He secretly did this, so as not to expose his plan prematurely. _________________ "A long time ago, way back in history, when all there was to drink was naught but cups o' tea, along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops, and he invented a wonderful drink, and he made it out of hops!"
