I and my crew follow you after you, takes some time for us to prepare." Once Mouser does his departures, captain Kazael caresses on the single imperfection of his otherwise handsome face; the long scar which travels over his eye which was milky white while other was beautiful amber in color.<br/><br/>"This is what you stole last from me Erag, but then again I stole your life so were even, you old greedy bastard." His hand clenches on the handle of his cutlass, he remembers that late evening likely the rest of his life. He was the second mate of captain Erag, been loyal, and working hard like everyone else in his crew. They had hit on the king's ransom amount of loot, some peace offering to a king to another country or something. But as they hauled their gains to a nearby island from sinking ship best they could, then captain Erag told them they do not plan honor pirate's code of sharing...only captain Erag and his closest lieutenants would take the spoils and half of the crew while rest would be left without. They included Kazael out, in that situation they had dragon fire cannon aimed at the crew while gunpowder kegs around them, with no escape. If not for Kazael inspire crew then on mutiny over this bullshit and heroic sacrifice of his former familiar; Palsey. He dived right into the cannon carrying a tar bucket. As cannon fired, it blew up and slew dozens of captain Erag's finest men, it was then fairly even fight then.<br/><br/>But Kazael is not sure how long it lasted, captain Erag scarred his face and in response he impaled him and the Erag's crew morale started to drop but overall there were dozens left alive albeit heavily injured, around twenty when counting himself when there was originally forty. But he saw that monsters had assaulted their ship and were approaching the clearing they had battled on and soaked in blood, then he shouted to everyone to stop and pointed out the danger and told everyone to grab what they could and make run for it or else all die there. He grabbed what he could, used his feather token which he had reserved for emergency transport to create elven styled boat, which got loaded by his supporters and their loot and they sailed away from the island. No idea how it went for rest but Kazael gave no damn about them, the<em>Crimson Eyes</em>crew was no more with the death of captain Erag.<br/><br/>Once they hit the shores of Elnera, he and survivors literally took over Broken Mare, partied, and spend gold. He mourned for Palsey, he had been a solid companion for two years, the bravest parrot ever lived. He in stays formed ritual and soon gained another parrot; called Boro, who is not Palsey at all in attitude. More mischievous and horny sort (Del has evaded mounted by him few times by now). He calms down after he takes wine, he can drink hard liquors but he just prefers wine in celebrations. He fingers one gold coins between his fingers, looking at it, it was a rare kind gold coin (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/2d/7d/b22d7d87d4b1625338c18b3137424602.jpg), it was coin given only by the Council of Thirteen, the thirteen greatest pirates who inherit or are chosen into council by their accomplishments. They mint these special coins given to any true-blooded pirate captains, as a show of status in any pirate ports across all seas and acknowledged worthy being pirate captain. Besides granted those coins, you can take them from the existing pirate captain and that in itself is a rite of passage of being acknowledged as well.<br/><br/><em>"Yeah, but what is a pirate captain without a crew? Or without a ship to sail on?"</em><br/><br/>He then looks at the rest space occupied by Broken Mare, only man besides himself being Mouser and innkeeper who is partly nervous bit keeping polite appearances as he is paid handsomely but knows already despite primary gender of his guest being women doesn't mean their any tamer than male sailors in the manner of partying. In curious fate, he had been charming, polite, and popular in female crew under Erag's command and he literally fought his best with women whom he viewed only as 'fuckable wenches' than true crew. But he never viewed women that way, especially female pirates. He still considers it irony he has a harem of sorts around him, but not all these women have slept with him but some have. He lets rumors spread and make others whatever opinions about his crew, it would be their last mistake to underestimate any of these women.<br/><br/>He takes an ale mug, starts to hammer it loudly on his table, and shouts;<strong>"Crew meeting, assemble! Kick your wenches out and close the inn! Don't want any uninvited ears waltzing in!"</strong>Then Kazael waits crew assemble on the table and make attendance known, counting himself he has crew of ten. Needing ten more hired but no point to hire until they get a ship.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>GM Notice:</strong>Assume some past spoils were used to 'rent' Broken Mare for week or two, literally pay innkeeper enough buy entire inn for themselves with nobodies besides guests invited by crew.
