Voyage-RP

[WarxePB]

"Ahoy!"

Seemingly, from out of nowhere, a small rowboat comes up alongside the boat. In it - none other than Fau'xlie.

"Ye forgot to tell me yeh're leavin'!" she screams, barely audible over the storm. "Looks like yeh're in a spot o' trouble! Luckily for ye, the great Fau'xlie's comin' to yer rescue!"

She throws off her cloak, wearing nothing more than a bikini underneath. She dives into the water, and shortly after, the boat is lifted up by an unknown force. The wave strikes the hull, damaging it slightly but missing the deck completely. Fau'xlie resurfaces, and climbs up the hull of the boat - her rowboat was demolished by the last wave.

"Go plug the holes in the hull!" she orders. "It be leakin' like a sieve!"

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen: I helped build this ship, so I will head the repairs. I need someone to take the wheel! The storm's not over yet.

[Kinslayer]

Galen hurried to the Captain's side: "Sir, I'll take care of this!" he took the wheel, as they started to repair the ship. The storm was not as fierce as it had been. "It seems that we could take this on, we'll get far!" he thought.

[WarxePB]

"I wouldn' be so sure, mate." Fau'xlie muttered. "I 'erd some old pirate shanties abou' fierce storms wi' calm parts in 'em. Called 'em 'stormwheels' or somein'." She walks over to the edge of the deck, and looks into the waters. "All sorts o' creatures live in'ese waters. Some of 'em are least 20 fathoms long an' eat boats whole, or so I 'erd. If ye need me, shout me name." She jumps off of the boat once more, and a murky shape at least 40 ft. long appears in the water shortly after.

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen grabs a rope and slides down the side of the ship. He looks up and sees Bemnonth looking over the side.

Fallen: Hold this will you? *Throws Jacket up, which Bemnonth catches. Fallen then holds his breath and dissapears under the water.*

[drenrin2120]

Bemnonth: Hm...

He peered into the murky waters, wodnering what either of them were up to. Just then, the storm broke. As if by magic. Bemnonth looked up, stunned. But he quickly noticed they clearing did not go on forever. The clearing was encircled by a wide think volumous fog. Every now and then it would light up with flashes of lightning on the other side, and roll with thunder.

Bemnonth: We're in a "stormwheel".
He said almost mockingly.
Galen: What was that?
Galen shouted down from the wheel.
Bemnonth: It's a hurricane. And a pretty big one.

[Kinslayer]

"I regret what I said before, we are not safe yet!" said Galen. A huge wave was going to strike the ship directly. It fell strongly, hitting the ship and making it move. Galen held the wheel strongly, but scared to hell. He suddenly fell on the floor, he got up and got the wheel again. Loud thunders where sending their devilish screams to the air, the sea waves were getting bigger and bigger as the rain was pouring even faster.

[drenrin2120]

Bemnonth: We're not outta this yet. Back in we go!

Bemnonth wheeled his heavy frame around over the railing. What the blazes are those two doing?

[WarxePB]

Another massive wave struck the hull, angling the ship and knocking a couple of crewmembers off. The murky creature swam over to the sailors, who started screaming in panic. It surfaced beside the sailors - it was a long, dolphin-like creature but with a massive mouth and fins - and submerged again. Fau'xlie resurfaced.
"Aye, ye scurvy landlubbers! Climb aboard the fish ye see if ye want to live to see the shores agin!" she called out. Once again, she dived, and the giant dolphin-like fish leaped out of the water, latching its teeth on the railing on the ship. The sailors, both of whom looked absolutely terrified, climbed up the fish, onto the deck. It let go of the ship, and dived, with Fau'xlie resurfacing.
"Yarr! Throw me some ropes! I'll lead ye thru the storm!" she called out.

[Drace]

J.D. was back on the deck and looked at the dark, gruesome sky.

J.D: "The eye of the storm," he says.

Galen: "J.D! What's that in your hand?!" Galen yells while trying to get a look at it from behind the sight blocking wheel.

J.D.: "Yeah, uhm..., we got a problem. Water is running inside the hulls! I'm looking for stuff to fill the holes with!"

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen surfaces, glances around and shouts upwards.

Fallen: We don't have much time! there's a gash in the side. ... I have a feeling that miss Fau'xlie will see us safely through the storm, but we won't get far if we're sinking. I will try and repair the hull from the outside. When the storm hits again I'll retreat into the hull. Bemnonth, take over the wheel from Galen. Galen and J.D, I'll need your help from the inside, fetch me some wood. And don't drop my coat, whatever you do Benmonth! *Dives again*

[drenrin2120]

Bemnonth: Aye, sir! I got the wheel, Galen.
As the waves roughen, Bemnonth can feel a pull in the wheel, it was constantly wanting to turn East, but they were headed west. At one point, there was a mighty jerk that sent the startled Bemnonth spralling and the wheel spining madly. Bemnonth jumped to his feet and grappled with the wheel. His muscles bulging as he forced it back due west.
He decided it'd be best to just put the captain's coat on. He quickly realized it wasn't gonna fit. So he tied it round his waist, tight as he could, bracing against the whipping winds, crazy waves, and unruley wheel.

[WarxePB]

The dolphin-like creature surfaces, then starts to shift. It gradually gets smaller, fades from an aquatic gray to a dark tan, and grows human-like features. Fau'xlie remains after the transformation is done.
"I'm sure ye all guessed'it by now... and if ye didn't, ye're dumb'sa deck'and!" she calls, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Now throw me some ropes!"
The various crewmen respond, throwing her some ropes, which they tie to the edge of the deck. Fau'xlie swims to the front of the ship, and transforms again. After effectively swallowing the ropes, she begins swimming forward, whatever direction forward might be, and at a reasonable pace, too. She lets out a bat-like screech, and dives just under the surface.

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen reaches to hole in the ship, and climbs through until he is in the flooded cargo hold, with his head above water. He patiently waits for Galen and J.D. to arrive. Suddenly there is a huge jolt and the boat lists to one side. After a few seconds, it rights itself.

Fallen: Well done Bemnonth. Just a little longer...

[Kinslayer]

Galen moves quickly and gets some wood. While J.D. collects some, Galen hurries himself to where the captain was. "Sir! here is some wood! It's all I could get! Any further orders?".
