Session 45: Pier Pressure
General Summary
After a few weeks of travel, we make it back to Sakatu. We need to learn whether or not the ship had arrived and as TT describes the main ship in the envoy, Harvey is moved to tears. Any mention of damaging or sinking the ship has him protesting as something that beautiful should be taken for ourselves. Unfortunately for him, we can’t make any promises about keeping it intact. With that, we all go our separate ways so TT can sneak into the administration building without having to worry about us tripping over ourselves.
She successfully gets inside and finds the docking logs, learning that the elven envoy arrived a week after we headed out for Winthrop. It intends to return in two days for whatever reason, but that gives us enough time to concoct a new plan. While Julius wants no part in our shenanigans and was hoping to take a much-needed vacation, we rope him anyways. We put together a strike team that includes me, TT, Amelia, Tonari, Inami, and Stabby. The ship carrying the treasure will be guarded by four smaller and faster ships. Amelia will poison the crew of one of these ships, hopefully sending most of them off to a doctor.
With just a skeleton crew left (either figuratively or literally), the strike team will board and commandeer the ship. We’ll throw the remaining crew overboard with nooses around their necks to alert the other guard ships and hopefully lure them out to sea with us. They’ll be led right to our ship that’s waiting to ambush it, Nathan crafting cannonballs full of the gunpowder we stole in Winthrop. These cannonballs will sprinkle the gunpowder over the decks of these ships as they arrive and then Julius will unleash an incendiary cloud that’ll set the gunpowder off.
The strike team will stay in the stolen ship, firing cannons and magic at these ships until they’re all done and dealt with. We’ll then swing back to Sakatu to board the main ship, some of us splitting off for the control room while the others take out the crew and destroy anything guards could use to get aboard to stop us. Those in the control room will hopefully be able to steer it away from the docks and out to sea so we can collect the treasure. We run the plan by the captain and our officers, who are all onboard with it. With that taken care of, we gather up the strike team and prepare before our ship makes its leave.
