As the boat came on the land Rose bowed to the two inside the boat and said "Welcome to Terebinthia. My name is Rose, what are your's?"

ooc: Man, I totally forgot this thread! Since I'm too busy (read: lazy) to read the rest of the thread since I've been gone, could somebody fill me in? Meanwhile, Lord Vulture continues:
ic: Lord Vulture sat in his throne at Cair Paravel. Overthrowing Saruman had been easy - too easy. He felt somehow disappointed that the wizard had not put up more of a fight.
"Just a petty criminal after all," he murmured to himself. True, his minions had been interesting to destroy - but a few illusions had been all they could take. All that remained now for Vulture was consolidating his rule over the rest of Narnia, and turning it into a war factory. For Vulture was not simply planning to rule Narnia, oh no! He wanted the entire world for himself, to rule and terrify, and then - who knew? Maybe other worlds would come next.

"ARRR, ahoy there matey!!" A very nicely dressed Terebinthian walked past the group of pirates and doffed a rather foppish hat. Twilight raised one dark eyebrow and turned to Fish.
"Did the Capn' finally convince Machia to shave and bought him that really big hat's she's been promisin' him, or did some stranger jest come up and "Ahoy!'' us?"
"I be thinkin it was a stranger Twilight..." answered Machia, scratching his stubbly chin. "Rose, what be goin on here? Why be the Terebinthians talkin' like... I dunno... but they sound awfully familiar!"
"Arrr, looky here mateys" said Capn' QA48, motioning them over to the small Terebinthian town signpost. On it was pinned a nicely colored notice.
"International Talk like a Pirate day?!!" IOWW read slowly as the rest of the pirates gathered behind the FF, passing the message along to the pirates that couldn't read.
"Should we be insulted Capn'?" asked Twilight, staring at two young boys who were apparently trying to out "ARRRRRRR!!" each other.
"Nay Twilight, I be thinkin' this small dose O' Pirateyness will be helpin our repuation. After one day they'll never want to stop!" The Capn gleefully strode off to join the celebrating Terebinthians.
"That man still be remindin' me of someone..." Machia muttered as he walked off.
ooc: Happy International Talk like a Pirate Day matyes!! ARRR!!!

Hopefully I will post something soon on here, but if someone else wants to post first be my guest... My plan was to have some of our crew end up in a nearby sea-side inn, where they're looking for new crew members...

"Well matey's lets be headin into this here country and be searchin fer mateys." Twilight spotted a small Inn close to the Dock. As they the noise inside came to a crescendo and something large flew out of the door. A huge man got up, brushed off his clothes and stalked off. An older, self assured woman stood glowering in the doorway. With a nod of satisfactions she turned and continued inside.
Twilight grinned at the rest of the crew. "Recruitin' right ahead mateys. Let's be on our way...But no orderin' grog! We be needin' pirates that be alive, not in a drunken stupor...."

ooc: No! Live thread, live!! "Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the doctor comes to call... everybody lives."
I declare this one of those times when the thread lives!
ic: Machia gave a half smile as he followed Twilight into the inn... It was a cramped dimly lit room, which reeked of unwashed sailors... The First Mate suddenly began to feel a lot better about the personal aroma of his crew and the ship after walking into that room... Most of the Pirates crew started to wander off towards the tables that were scattered about the room... Aravis, Machia, Fish, IOWW and Twilight chose a table in the corner which had one of the few lamps sitting on it...
"Ok, here's the plan..." Twilight began, "Fish, IOWW and I will go an' mingle with local riff-raff an' see if any of them be man enough fer sailin' with our crew... Then we'll send 'em over to ye and Machia, Cap'n an' ye can get their sworn word to be faithful to our crew, an' all that... Jus' get whoever we send over ter say the pledge and I'll worry 'bout shapin' them inter halfway decent sailors once we get 'em aboard the ship... What say ye ter that Cap'n?"
Aravis nodded her agreement and the other three FF members disappeared into the crowd... Machia sat back deeper in the corner, pushed his hat over his eyes and pulled his coat collar up further hiding his face in shadows.... Partially this was to intimidate the new recruits, and partially because his coat
smelled strongly of apples and helped cover the stench of the room...
He watched as IOWW wandered up to the counter and began a conversation with one of sailors sitting there... The First Mate could see the sailor looking back at the Captain and him, and then turned back to ask IOWW something... Machia glanced to another part of the inn and could see Fish talking in a low voice to a couple more pirate prospects at another corner table....
Twilight on the other hand had a different approach to recruiting... She marched right up to the biggest, filthiest, foulest, loudest and most unruly group of sailors in the inn, pulled one of the sailors out of his chair and sat down in the middle of their group... She then proceeded to shove a couple other sailors out of her way and then purposely knocked a mug of grog so it spilled all over the largest of the sailors while he was drinking; laughed about it, cheated while playing cards, challenged each and every one of them while calling them names and shot more of their grog off the table with blanks from her pistols.... She wrapped it all up by flipping the table over, disarming and knocking all the ones to the ground who didn't run out of the inn and then dragged them over to where Aravis and Machia were seated.... Fish and IOWW, after getting a few new recruits and seeing that Twilight was doing fairly well on her own, got their own crew out of the inn and then joined Aravis and the First Mate back at the table...
Twilight made each and every sailor who she'd dragged over to the table, swear by the pirates pledge and sent them off with the rest of the crew... Machia and Fish then helped Twilight while she led the crew back to where they'd left the boats... They oversaw them while they rowed back to the ship then all teleported back to the ship... IOWW and Aravis stayed a little longer in the town (But at a different inn) getting updated maps from some of the sea captains and any news they could give... But either no one could give them any news from Narnia, or they were too scared to... Finally at about three in the morning they headed back to the ship, where Twilight had all the unruly crew members up all night, drinking nothing but cold water and scrubbing the deck over and over again...
Meanwhile, no one noticed a small black ship with a pale faced man who had sat in the crowded inn earlier, sail swiftly in the direction of Narnia...

I'll join
Name: Kael (known as the dreaded DayhawK)
Age: 19
Bio:Kael was an orphan in our world and turned to piracy at an early age. Captain Musang (Japanese Pirate) took her in as his own when he found her stealing from his ship when he ported Ireland. Eversince she sailed with him and knew famous pirates. She met the others a year after Musang died. She wanted to carry out his legacy by proving to her new shipmates that, as a Pirate of the East, she was not to be underestimated.
Skills: She is really good with a katanna (her's is called the Night) and with a glaive.
Personality: DayhawK is a bit of a rogue and a loner, but does what she is told, but if what she's told is wrong to her she won't do it. Fearless and stubborn, and yet has a humorous side, DayhawK is one pirate people don't want to cross.

After Twilight had sent her bleary eyed, cowed and still hairy recruits to bed without supper she turned to the new, classy recruit, Dayhawk.
"Ahoy there Dayhawk! I admire yer kattana, but have ye got outfitted her our piratey ship yet matey? There's a pistol and musket issued to each new recruit, plus a bag O' powder and a bag O' bullets, and if I find ye messin around with yer weapons I snatch em' right back. So no pointin it at anything but an enemy, savvy?" Twilight stood nose to nose with Dayhawk, laying down the rules she had set up as Master Gunner on the ship.
"If ye'd really like to see how yer kattan might work in one O' our piratey battles, I'd be happy to duel ye right now. What do ye say?"
(Ooc: If you want to duel, we can go back and forth with moves. Just don't write something like "Dayhawk chopped off Twilight's arm" or something permanent please. It's just a duel between mateys.

)"Savvy," she said in response to the rules, "I'll take ya up on de challenge, but I must warn ya I was taught by Musang himself."
She pulled The Night out of it's sheath, it's long and brilliant silver blade gleamed in the fading sunlight. "Ready when ya are."

ooc: Sorry! My computer was being bad and TDL was not letting me on either... Grrr... takes piratey cutlass to cut up computer...
ic: Twilight grinned and inclined her head towards Dayhawk, accepting her challenge. "Arrr, well I can't say ye scare me, but at least ye intrigue me, me hearty... Hold on a sec while I make this a bit more fair..." Twilight held up her hand then took off her coat. Strapped to her body were four muskets. She undid the belt and let them drop to the ground. Dayhawk stood ready again, but Twilight again stopped her with a raised hand. She reached into her boots and produced four very small pistols. Once again Dayhawk brought up her kattana but Twilight was already pulling three pistols out of her belt and reaching into her undershirt and bringing out yet another musket. Finally she brought another pistol that she had nearly forgotten on the back of her belt and Dayhawk wasn't quite sure where she produced the other musket from. "Sorry about that matey, ye have to be prepared when ye land on an island with scallywags bumpin around..." Twilight finally unsheathed her cutlass and stood facing Dayhawk. "I be ready... ARRR!" With a piratey yell Twilight brought her sword through the air to clash against The Night.

(ooc lol thats ok)
DayhawK admired Twilight's prepared-for-anything attitude. Once Twilight's sword clang with The Night, DayhawK quickly pulled away and slung the sword down and then into an upper cut motion toward Twilight's face.

By the way, you helped me do really well in a Scattergories game, I had to think of a weapon starting with a K... Hmmm. ic: Twilight jerked her body to the side, her long hair just whipping out of the way of Dayhawk's weapon. "Har, har, ye do have some tricks up yer sleeves me hearty, but will they be enough? That be the question...." Twilight grinned and brought her sword up to slice at Dayhawk's elbow, changing it's direction at the last moment to swing at her feet.

DayhawK grinned. "Tricks got nothin' to do with, its just skill."
She was swift enough to follow Twilight's sword. As Twilight's sword swung at her feet, DayhawK caught it with hers, lunging upward to bring Twilight's sword abover her head. Then, crouching suddenly, DayhawK swung her sword lighting speed to cut (or at least graze) Twilight's torso.

Now, if I were GKoN, this is the point where I'd have a giant eagle steal Dayhawk's katana or something...
But I'm not.
ic: Lord Vulture look with disgust at the repulsive hag before him. True, Narnia had been full enough of creatures that were willing to serve him, but one had to admit they weren't all that smart...
"Y'see, yer onner," the hag whined, "these pirates've given Narnia trubble b'fore. When Lord Saruman was king, he was obsessed with'm - seems they'd given'm some trubble before. Th'point is, yer onner, we all think it wouldn't be any trubble to go out 'n collect these pirates now, since we're all armed with yer wonder-weapons." The hag finished and waited for Vulture's answer. Of course, the "wonder-weapons" were no weapons at all - Vulture merely produced mass illusions himself and let the creatures think the weapons were doing the job. The problem was, this wasn't likely to work against strong-minded beings, which by all accounts these pirates were.
"Go, summon my governor," Vulture commanded the hag. She scuttled out. "I think..." Vulture murmured to himself, "I think I will destroy these pirates myself."
He laughed then, a chilling, soulless laugh, his servants fled in terror at the sound, cowering in such hiding places as they could find. Vulture stepped off of his throne and strode out.
Leaning on his staff, Azgar watched with tolerant amusement as DayhawK and Twilight battled. Suddenly he gasped, and staggered. A cold, malevolent laugh had reached his mind, as if carried on some evil wind. For a moment he felt dreadfully cold. As he regained his balance, his brows furrowed in thought. What could have caused the immaterial feeling of dread that had suddenly permeated his being?
But I'm not.

Sitting in silence, brooding over malicious plans seemed to be all the wizard Saruman had to do in these times. Quietness had fallen over Narnia, insomuch that he thought both men and Old Narnians had ended their quarrels completely and joined in perfect harmony together.
Nevertheless, he would still go on plotting his old evils, contriving ways of causing division among the men and Old Narnians. Sewing seeds of discord and confusion were his ways now. If there were still a hope that he would turn to goodness, and leave Narnia to its own affairs and head back to his own, it seemed faint and far away.
Until the pirates returned from their mysterious voyage (and disappearance), and he could fully convince the people of Narnia that they were their enemy and the cause for all the division, he would lay low, but never silent.
