For the first time Scourge looked uncertain in the face of three-to-one odds - with Jing, Myra and Sandara against him, he reluctantly let go and slunk away with the proverbial tail between his legs, but not without some parting words.<br/><br/><strong>"Fine, I'll let ye go today... but ye'll regret this, by Besmara's bouncing bosom, ye hear me!?"</strong><br/><br/>Sandara spit in Scourge's wake after he fled the scene before turning to face Jing and Myra. "Pah, the Pirate Queen's never going to listen to a coward like that blackguard. Sandara Quinn at your service, faithful servant of Besmara the Pirate Queen, patron goddess of every lawless scallywag to sail the seas. If you ever need any divine aid, I can intercede on your behalf - it's the least I could do." She tipped her tricorn hat.<br/><br/><em>(Relationship level with Sandara Quinn improved to helpful!)</em><br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/U0XIpck.jpg)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Day 2</span><br/><br/>The enlisted crew slept in hammocks strung up in the hold - the same hold where Jing and Myra had first woken up on the first day, in fact. The ship's bell tolled in the mornings to wake up the crew and summon them to the deck for roll call. So the hold was a flurry of activity, pirates taking down and wrapping their hammocks in the faint light of lanterns and rushing up to the deck. In the commotion two pirates blocked Jing's and Myra's path.<br/><br/><strong>"In a hurry? Well ye should be, tardy ones git the lash!"</strong>One of the pirates laughed and pushed Jing in the chest.<br/><br/><strong>"Master Scourge 'as asked us to do a bit o' foreplay, git ye in 'e mood, 'n' we're only too happy t' oblige,"</strong>The other pirates leered at Myra as he cracked his knuckles and raised his fists.<br/><br/>A handful of sailors loitered on the stairs to watch the inevitable brawl. Unfortunately Sandara wasn't among them, having gone ahead to the deck already.<br/><br/><em>(Roll initiative! You act first on a result of 13 or higher.)</em>
