Nothing

Nothing

I boasted of becoming a linnorm slayer. And a mermaid slayer. Neither of those things came to pass. In fact, other than some unimportant fish fucks, the only thing I did slay was a member of our crew. I always told myself I'd end up killing one of them ev...

Amongst the Flamespears

I have to say, I was surprised to find an orc I considered attractive. But, there is just something about the allure of a dangerous woman even if she's strong enough to just manhandle me... Still, I cannot help but feel my heart is not in it. The lack ...

Fuckin' orcs. On islands nobody has inhabited for years and of course some giant fucking orca managed to make one ship that didn't sink and end up here. The assholes attacked our small shore party with double our number. But, they soon learned that they didn't have us trapped so much as they simply put me in a target rich environment. If my blade didn't educate them, the Gale's cannons and Captain's pistols certainly helped. Giant green assholes.

Of Pain, Numbness, and Burdens

Most people do not know what true pain is. Pain brought on by the deepest of betrayals. Of love turned to loathing. But, love is where our story begins. Imagine if you will a man. A good man. An honorable man. Who became enamored with an elven warrior...

I've lost fights before. That's life. It happens. Lip up and get back in there, aye? Being beat by Mikael was one thing. I got some hits in, took a bad one back. I can accept that. But that fucking orc just rolled over me. It wasn't a fight. It was an embarrassment. My sword is all I have. Without it I'm nothing but the son of a drunk womanizer and a world famous duelist who gave up. A nobody. This is all I am. The fuck do I do now?

Well Captain is freed, we got the compass back and nobody died. Actually, no that's not true. A score of holy warriors of Faenir bit it. Figure followers of a sea god would know better than to go poking sharks, aye? Tanifa finally got around to talking to us after Captain decided it was time we started using these pieces to our advantage. The sexy and deadly disembodied voice flirted with me. Shame she doesn't have a body. Funny how your mind thinks of strange things when slowly cookin' alive in a volcano. These lava fucks seem ti be making a mess of the rest of the crew with us. I admit they're annoying bastards with no real weak points to target. But, like my mother use to say: Stab something enough and it'll stop moving. Cheers mum!

Guess it's some where in between.

Time to be a big gods damned hero. Or die in a blaze of glory. Either works.

Another Piece of Tanifa found. This time her Eye, which seems to understand when spoken to. A cursed underwater cave that creates a whirlpool guards it along with undead pirates. Their leader spoke of being cursed until it killed another to take its place. It had some sealed letter explaining it that made little sense. The Captain will figure it out I imagine. We returned to the service to find our crew embroiled in a fight against slavers from the desert. Our arrival allowed us to win ou

Captain seems to have brokered a deal with the Imperials. I'm not crazy about it because I think those bastards are owed, but it keeps them off our back for now. Part of me wanted to take our chances against them, but was too likely to get most of us killed. Ship has to come first. Have to say I'm not a big fan of the free cities. We arrived to a modest legitimate paycheck and to continue this hunt for Tanifa's pieces. Allurial left a deed and a key to an old villa that is now in my name. The fuck am I suppose to do with a villa? Can probably sell the thing off for a decent cut for the crew but might as well brag about owning it for a bit. How many pirates can say the own a villa after all? Too bad it turned out to be a run down shit hole. Even if it had been maintained, I've no use for the damn place. Still would have been nice to not walk through dust and dead plants though. A damn trap nearly finished us off. Poisoned darts or something so I was told after. I could barely move or function afterwards which didn't seem to bother the rest of the crew there. Still had enough life in me to notice we were being stalked. Invisible elves, go figure. Stayed in the fight longer than I should have with how banged up I was. Seems like it's becoming a trend. This crew doesn't fight for each other. Gonna get us all killed now that we know there are multiple players after these Pieces. Strange elves and the Emperor wanting this soul eating sea bitch. Figure there's others too. Would have liked more of them to interrogate after taking the time to keep one of the women alive for questioning, but Captain ordered them all dead but one while I was unconscious. Tried to raise the point about being smarter about who we kill outright and don't. Captain took it under advisement. Pallo tried to make it sound like choice should be whatever I decide. Swear that guy has a stick up his ass about me for whatever reason. Can't be over that stupid argument 'bout the necklace still can it? That shit happened weeks ago. Either way, I reckon I need to start looking out for me more. Don't feel like dying just because Pallo doesn't like me or folks think exploring a house is more important than making sure people are alive after a trap nearly kills em. Also don't feel like dying for some spirit that steals souls. The fuck am I suppose to do with that?

We'll kill merchant sailors so there are no witnesses to our deeds, but allow a person being paid to report on us to live. At least being unpredictable will make it harder for the Imperials to catch us.

It was almost a disaster. Lena got bad info that lead to us wasting days waiting for a ship that would never come. And Pallo's bad info sailed us into a ship that was better armed and crewed than we were expecting. Ultimately we escaped with no casualties on our side which is always the end goal of these things. We now have two ships and half a dozen new crew as the survivors were sold on the Captain's speech to join. Seems that special necklace is going to be a problem but for now it's tucked in away in Matao's magic bag. The paranoia inducing necklace is less concerning than the current crew dynamic though. Some people seem to be in a pissing match, others seem to just be assholes. Dunno if it was always there or a result of the new power structure after the vote. Suppose it doesn't matter either way. End of the day certain people need to get their shit together or hop off in the next port. I worry that the job of First Mate might just actually be another phrase for baby sitter. Still can't shake that feeling that someone is gonna have to be dealt with before long. Hopefully it's not one of the ones I like. Ah well. Feel like we should have better split the crew to put all the downers over on this merchanter. Well, all but one or two anyways. Bad company on a slow ship makes for a cranky first mate.

The crew has spoken. Anya will be the new Captain of the Gale. Could be worse. She is at least the carrier of a large, bountiful, and spectacular....education. A captain should be smart. I'm first mate now. And while warranted, I am surprised she picked me based on recent interactions. Perhaps she's just that smart. Suppose I'll know when she decides about the necklace. Wyrran took things well, but he takes everything the same. See how he reacts to questions but Allurial when time comes. Rest of the crew is mostly fine though I'll probably end up killing one of them before long.

Alluria's dead, that sucks. I liked her. Wyrran's in charge now, that sucks. I don't much like him. I feel our magic users would be more useful just healing me as I did most of the work when it came to killing those fish fucks. I really want to put this necklace on.....wonder if Sieg and Fran would be up for some fun. Life is all about the two F's after all.
