Of late, the Good Fortune had not lived up to her name.  Several ships that would have made good pickings for the pirates had heard whispers of a possible attack, it seemed, and had changed course, leaving the crew with less treasure than they would have liked after several long weeks at sea.  As if this weren't enough, a storm two days ago had damaged the forward mast, leaving them limping along at half-speed for home.

This morning, still worse is discovered.  When the bosun's mate goes to wake the captain at first light as usual, he finds the captain dead, his throat neatly slit.  The crew must have a new captain to bring them home, and quickly; for the ship cannot maneuver as it should, and would be an easy mark for the Royal Navy.  And the crew must also learn who these hidden mutineers are, for as long as they are alive, none will sleep easy in their beds.



The crew:

  • Aiden
  • Circlmastr
  • Josietta
  • Kip
  • LadySky
  • Marguerite
  • Ryven
  • QueenTrippingSerpent
  • Saku
  • Sinera

Remember, this first vote is for a new captain.  Choose wisely, mateys!

With their new captain at the helm, keeping the ship underway, the crew felt more at ease -- but they dared not relax yet.  The previous captain's killer was still unknown, and no one could be easy until the culprits were brought to justice -- the harsh justice of a pirate ship, far from any port.

It was time to decide on who might be guilty of this terrible crime, and send them to Davy Jones' Locker once and for all.


  • Aiden
  • Circlmastr
  • Josietta
  • Kip
  • LadySky
  • Cap'n Marguerite
  • Ryven

There are 3 Mutineers, 1 Ship's Cook, 1 Ship's Surgeon, and 5 Pirates.

Now it's time for a lynching.  Vote carefully, me hearties!

CirclMastr

CirclMastr cast a mean glare across the deck.  "If'n ya ask me, we oughta string up that Ryven!  I don't trust that scalliwag any further'n I can throw 'im!  Just look at 'is name, Ryven, and now we be riven 'tween decent pirate folk and bloody mutineers!  It was bad luck bringin' 'im aboard and the sooner we're ridda 'im, the sooner we're ridda 'is curse!"

"I be but a simple pirate, Circl.  Me name has nary a thing to do with our current plight, but if there be no way of convincing ye otherwise, yer entitled to yer vote.  As for me, I say Josi be a bit of a fast one.  I be keepin' me eye on 'er."

He flips his eyepatch from one eye to the other before pointing one finger at the revealed eye and then pointing it at her.

I've always had a hankerin to see Aiden walk the plank!

Aiden glares at Ladysky and quickly grabs his plank from the outside of his trousers.
"Walk this plank you saucy wench! Ryven you are fast to point the finger at someone else after be accused of something...that is might suspicious to me!"

"No quicker 'en you though it's not yer finger ye be pointin'.  Ye'll see though.  Should I walk the plank and be sent to the briny deep, I'll laugh at ye from below as the Good Fortune is consumed with treachery an' lies!

I change me vote to Aiden!"

Kip

"You be mad.  The lot of ye!  I ne'er seen a crazier, more insane lot.  You be barking up the wrong tree.  The wrong tree, I be telling yeh.  Josi, the wench, be the one we should all be blaming."
