<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Niccolo Swift</span></strong><div class="floatright">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e8/35/06/e83506d9eac6cff8bb1443e9a5dff983.jpg)</div><br/>Human Ranger 3<br/>[Character sheet] (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=840445)<hr/><br/>Umika's presumption was almost correct.  The young rake would have preferred a sandwich board over a placard, but the message would have been the same.  Niccolo didn't register her sudden disregard for his vulgarity, and would have pressed her further but for the Captain's sudden question.<br/><br/>"I love railing things," Niccolo said to the Captain with a sly smirk.  Then, becoming a bit more serious, he added:  "I will begin drafting a plan for a side-to-side rail system.  The last time, I was granted permission to take on some extra crew members for the catapult work.  Could use some extra hands for this job, too, Captain, but I don't anticipate that this will take as long.  Laying down the rail won't be hard, but ensuring that the integrity of the deck isn't compromised will require some extra work.  Last thing I want is for the ballista to fall through the center of the deck during an action cus' it couldn't bare the weight."
