Date 719HE/27
Luas postulates a steam weapon that would not hurt the TUWNinny G is not sure it would work.
Karim confesses he doesn't know how many black ships there will be.
Tynwurm tries to developp waterskiing, behind a 3 mast ship... It goes about how you would expect. Annoyed by her failure, she heads below desk in search of the galley, then demands rum and croissants from the cook. She gets rum, with "bits" in...
Ulunuuh shows off(?)
The all see seagulls oin the distance and assume it is Mr. Teeth, which it is. "NO BLACK SAILS" comes his observation, "LAST SEEN 4 SUN's AGO". Mr Teeth leads them towards the island of Al-nab-al-aswad. The surface of the sea if covered in what looks like oil. Tynwurm and Luas test the water, it tastes foul!
The lookout spots 2 black sail ships, about 2 mailes away.
Graxari sees that the crew is nervous and drums up some inspiration.
They can see the black ships have all human crew, all wearing black with masks or cloth wrapped around their heads covering their faces. Battle is engaged, the TDF firing its cannon when in range. The fight heats up as the ships close and the wizrds hurl fireballs into the enmey ships. Szithy fumbles a shot and he hears his bow crack! It still works, just not as effectively. Mr. Teeth rips savagely into the hulls of the black ships.
Tynwurm fumbles a throw of her axe and drops it! She utters an oath to Kray'Vax, hears deep laughter in her head, dives in and gets her axe back. Miraculous!
The two ships finally sink, even before they got close enouhg for a baording action.
The lookout spies a third ship, turning away and heading for the island. With a battered ship, and a moderate loss of crew, Karim orders his men to follow.
