NewToys

Looking at taking their new toy ship on it's first adventure our crew assaults the first overloaded ship they spy and board her!

The initial assault goes well, using momentum, Styx rockets himself into the crows nest on the opposite ship knocking the sailor out and down onto the deck far blow, shattering their tibia.

The battle also goes well for the others as they wipe out the unfortunate Azarketi crew until it becomes obvious several had swum under the Ratt and climbed up the far side, surrounding the crew that remained behind. A bit of touch and go against Tony who limped through by the skin of his teeth, pirate band subdue the crew and loot the ship while she sinks. (Deliberately sunk by the Azarketi since being fish people, was easy enough to float her back up afterward, since their had pounded open several sea doors in the base of the vessel)

Some quick thinking using float bladders and some hefty moving, the crew managed to grab a full cargo hold of trade goods for sale and off to Sinabarr they rushed to sell and buy goodies!

Shine the second mate had overheard Tony wanting to assault a local town with their new found power and happly complied, handing over an old map and an unfinished plan for a town assault created by the previous Captain Slyth

Obviously our new crew decided not to follow the original plan and went for something more traditional stuffing Tony in a box with a two way magical parchment and a flare gun, and telling the locals they were worried their ship was cursed and wanted their treasure safely stored somewhere secure on the island.

Convincing the locals, Chest-Tony was carted off and stored in a local merchants private stores, filled with goodies galore.

Tony crept out of his chest, and fired off the flare to notify the group there was indeed treasure and to tell them where he was. He then heroically hid in the bathroom.

Unfortunately a small group of guards noticed the flare and wandered over to investigate while outside the compound Styx, Sky and Fletcher arrived.

Failing to convince the Guard outside that he was just just having a shit, Tony spends some time having a tug of war with the toilet door and then in a pique of sneakiness allows the door to fling open and throws himself outside while the guard falls inside. Unfortunately a second guard is just standing there watching the entire scene unfold and eventually Tony is beaten into unconsciousness by two guys with clubs.

Outside we see an amazing set of non "shooting big guns" events as the party manages to:

1. Set off another flare to order the Ratt to open fire on the town
2. Convince the main group of soldiers to chase Sky instead claiming he was a pirate and had something to do with the attack (truth in advertising)
3. Convince the guards they find dragging an unconscious and bound Tony that he was in fact the treasure that they were worried about and what the hell had they done with their precious magical cargo
4. Hide from the pursuing patrol as a Tree
5. Convince a troop of soldiers that maybe the battle in town was more important and maybe they should go and see what that was all about
6. Convince the owner of the compound they just wanted to get their treasure back in the magical box and they'd REALLY love a cup of Tea with the old chap
7. Convince two guards that closing the chest would "make a loud bang" when closed so they should shut their eyes and close their ears, before blowing both their heads off and stuffing them in the chest
8. Convince the other guard outside that no, the fact the rat was now two people wasn't unusual, both guards were missing was normal, the large of blood was to be expected and pay no attention to the guy with the bag on his head.
9. Getting the outside guard to actually CONVINCE THEIR OWN TROOPS that the loud bang was fine and look, this was way above everyone's pay grade lets just leave it at that

Lastly we looted everything we could see in the room and..... dun dun duuuuuuuuuun..... wait for next week to see how we can get out of THIS ONE
