"Great, we haven't been here less than an hour and someone's already wounded. I guess 'tis a pirate life fer all of us," Aravis said. She looked at the wounded pirate in the eyes as to blame him for the delay in exploring the island. Though at first she was hesitant, she now grew anxiously with every passing minute.

ooc- actually, I think we shot at them...

And Grey, I have the same question: are you another pirate that we just met, or are we pretending that you've always been a part of our crew?

And Tiff, I'm not quite sure what you had planned for the mysterious stranger, or if you had anything in particular planned at all... So, tell me to delete if you want to...:D

ic- Fish rolled her eyes at John, knowing full well that he'd never have a gnat's chance in winning a duel against Aravis. And anyway, she was presently more occupied with the now-still figure in the brush. Keeping her hand on her cutlass, she crept forward. She heard heavy breathing from a few feet in front of her as she drew her cutlass and pushed aside the bush...
"Ca--" Fish looked over her shoulder and saw Aravis brandishing her cutlass at John. "Oh, nevermind, ye and Twilight be busy," Fish muttered. "Machia! IOWW! I think ye'd all better come here..." Resheathing her cutlass, Fish again looked down at the terrified person in front of her. "Oh, and Fyn, if ye could be so kind as to bring a medical kit as well..."

ooc- there you are, Machia...:D Run with it if you want to...:D If you have no ideas, then type something and I'll post again...:)

Iam, supposed to fight you guys in a fire fight thats why my guy said open fire to his crew because we saw you and i did not know what was going on
 
Over the other side of the Island Elendil and Cleo were scaling the side of the beached ship.
"I wonder where it came from." Elendil said as she swung herself over the railing. "there's no one on board, but the ship isn't damaged, at all." Elendil took her torch from her belt and lit it with a flint. "Let's explore."

ooc: Haha, aye, I got nothin'....

ic: "Arrr... Don't worry, Fish, I got it here..." The First Mate said pushing his way through the crowd of pirates... He had a pack of medicine slung over his back... He knelt down and took it off of his shoulder... But suddenly he stopped halfway, a confused look coming over his face... "Gar, although how I got it on me back, I don't know... It weren't thar before we arrived on this here island..." After a moment's pause, Machia shook his head and opened the bag.. "Arrrr.. Oh well... Whater we got here, Fish?"

Fish took the bag from Machia and knelt down beside the dark-skinned man. "I think he's a Telmarine," she said. A bullet had grazed his left temple, but as Fish moved to clean the wound, the man clamped his hand to his forehead and tried to scoot backward. "Come now," Fish said kindly, "I be sorry fer what me mates did to ye. The fools never did have enough mind to think before shootin'." The man seemed to relax a little, but still said nothing. Fish continued cheerfully, "in any case, I feel it be me responsibility to try and fix ye up, whether ye want it or not. And though I ain't no medic, I be quite certain ye'll feel better once yer cleaned up. So, what say ye?" She smiled and elbowed Machia in the knee, who at once smiled as well. The man looked from Machia to Fish and back again for a few moments, then finally lowered his hand from his head. "That's more like it!" Fish said. She gently washed the blood from his forehead and wrapped a bandage around his head. As she was securing it, the man spoke. "You--you're from the seas, are you not?" His voice shook. "The stories say th--that nothing good comes from the seas. They talk of people who raid towns and kill everyone they meet. Some stories even talk of--of--of cannibalism." The man seemed to have some sort of fit and managed to scoot himself backward about five feet. Fish didn't know whether to laugh or not. She looked up at Machia, who looked just as confused.
 
"Do you think..." Elendil began slowly, "That this could possible be why Aslan wanted us to come here?"
Cleo shrugged, "It was your dream...didn't he want us to meet someone?"
"This could be their ship though...They might be coming back."
 
ooc: I'm still Azgar, right? I have a couple requests. Can we all try to use correct punctuation, and spelling (if possible), please? Not that I'm asking anybody to be Mr. Super-correct-linguist (these are Pirates, after all), but it's much less confusing when, instead of this:

James walked down the beach he saw a column of smoke on the island he ran there his house was burning

We say:

James walked down the beach. He spotted a column of smoke rising from the island and ran toward it. He arrived just in time to watch his house catcth fire.

Just a friendly request.

ic: A large albatross settled in a nearby tree. It cocked its head at Aravis and gave a small cry.
"You certainly took your time," she said.
The albatross somehow managed to look injured.
The bird drifted to the ground. As it landed, a shimmering appeared in the air around it. When it cleared, the albatross was gone and Azgar stood there in its place. "Captain," he said to Aravis, "I've been reconnoitering, but I can't see much in the dark. We appear to be on an island, but that's pretty much all I could find out." He then glanced at Fish and Machia. "Who's this fellow?" he asked, indicated the man lying on the ground.
 
OOC-

Olorin, we dropped the other plot and started a new one. We're on the coast of an unknown island in Narnia. We suspect Aslan have brought us back to Narnia and has also appeared to Elindil in a dream. She and Cleo will be waiting for us at the other end of the island on a ship they found. Which, we presume Aslan has left for us.

P.S. Elindil, Good job with your post :)

Growing more impatiently by the minute, Aravis turned to Olorin. "Can't ye heal him quickly?...if any of ye guys are ok with it, I'ma go ahead of ye mateys. I'll DV ye if I suspect of any danger ahead."

"Amazing..." Elendil muttered as she walked over the deck of the ship. "This certainly is a prize!"
The ship was a beautiful piece of work. It had a mermaid for a figure head and the whole thing was decorated with engravings. Most often the theme was a lion. This was making Elendil more and more certain that it was from Aslan.
 
Cleo touched one of the animal carvings reverently. "Beautiful," she whispered. She wondered whether the owners of the ship were coming back soon, and if they'd notice or mind if a small part of their carvings dissappeared. . .

"Well, I think we're in the right place." Cleo said to Elendil. "Now we just need to find the people your dream mentioned." She glanced around nervously.
 
After about 20 minutes Aravis came back running gasping for air. She finally had it with waiting and left the crew take care of the wounded while she went off to explore a bit further what was inland.

"What happened, Cap'n?!" Fish said running towards her.

"Nothing...but I did see a bridge far out in the distance and...well...I heard some cracks and came back running," Aravis said.

The FF rolled their eyes at her and at least one of them laughed.

"Hey! I was alone and without a crew. If I were to die I better die with at least 5 people around me," Aravis replied.

"Oh Cap'n ye shouldn't wish death on anyone fer yer sake,"Fish said throwing a wet cloth over her shoulder.

"I'm a pirate. I couldn't careless." Aravis said. "Now can we at least git to the bridge?"

"are ye sure ye saw one and it wasn't jest yer imagination?" IOWW asked.

Aravis raised her eyebrow at IOWW.

"Fine, fine," IOWW put up her hands resignedly.

Fish finished washing her hands after bandanging the Telmarine who was still cowering against a tree. "Cap'n, what are we doin' about him?" she asked, still bewildered by the man's behavior.

"He isn't saying anythin' about who he is or where he came from?" Aravis asked.

Machia shook his head. "He just keeps muttering about barbarous sea-farers and how they have him surrounded... Utterly mad, I think he is..."
 
Aravis looked down where the man layed. "Aye, jest have Headless Bill carry him over his shoulder. He'll be fine. Jest make sure to tie a bandanna over his mouth. We don't need any unfamiliar attraction towards us," she said.

About two pirates quickly knelt down to where the man was. One held his head while the other tied a bandanna over his mouth. The man still kept uttering nonsense and Headless Bill struck him over the head to keep him quiet.

After they were done and HB had the man over his shoulder they set off to explore the wood.

"Now ye 'ave to be ver' quiet. I think I made a left at this point," Aravis said.

IOWW stopped walking immediately. "Cap'n! ye think?! I thought ye were sure of it!" she said.
 
A light thunder rumbled in the sky, and the air smelled of rain. At the thought of finding their way through unfamiliar woods in the dark and rain, everyone's tempers were running short.

"Yet not helping, IOWW," Fish said curtly. "It's jest the dark; she'll find it."

IOWW opened her mouth to retort, but Machia spoke first. "And unless ye know the way, Fish, ye shouldn't be talkin' either."

"Jest hush, all o' ye," Aravis growled. "I need to think." In front of them was a very large, old tree, that had been withered and twisted over the years. "I remember this tree..." she muttered. "I remember passing to....to the left of it. Let's go."

IOWW muttered something inaudable, and Fish sighed loudly.
 
OOC: Hi there! :D :p
We (the rangers) have discovered a Ship, abandoned right near the bridge on 'our' island, that we grow yew trees on. (they're the best for making bows). I had a dream that Aslan wanted us to come here to meet someone, and we found the ship...and are waiting for the pirates to come back so we can meet them. Got it?
