The weather was lovely. The motion of the ship along the waves was hypnotic, and she could lose herself simply watching the water for hours at a time. And the company! She'd been having such a fun time with the crew, she hadn't even unpacked any clothing in the months they'd been aboard.<br/><br/>And now they were the centre of attention again, which Doxie just loved. The captain was talking about them, calling them by such lovely names, admiring their beauty and their spirit. Doxie lounged comfortably against the mast as the captain made his flowery speech, and...<br/><br/>... and then one of Curva's friends was thrown overboard, dragged up as a ragged corpse, and thrown overboard again. But that meant... <em>oh</em>.<br/><br/>"Curva, something's wrong!" she shrieked. "I think they want to kill us!"<br/><br/>The boom of distant cannon shocked her back to lucidity. She struggled briefly against the thick rope tying her to the mast - how had she not noticed that before? - before giving it up as a lost cause. She couldn't get free that way. But maybe somebody else could.<br/><br/>"Katarina!" she cried out, twisting around to bring the dhampir into her field of view. "You can get us out of this, right? Of course you can. This is easy! Haha... too easy..." She made an air-kiss in Katarina's direction, then trailed off into mad giggling.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>GM Notice:</strong> Doxie uses her Fortune hex on Katarina, then uses the Cackle hex to extend its duration for an extra round.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fortune hex</div><div class="spoiler_body">The witch can grant a creature within 30 feet a bit of good luck for 1 round.

Fortunately with his magic that kind of issue wasn't a problem, and he was a decent fucking cook so he was more or less improving quality of life aboard the ship for the trip. And as for pleasurable company, there was quite the number of options for those with more peculiar tastes. Anything that the girls couldn't provide with their lovely charms, Harper was capable of summoning some measure of entertainment for the lonely soul. Usually they get their freak on in private whilst he was reading in another room to keep concentration for however long it took for the summoned creature to finish the task of fucking a sailor.<br/><br/>Captain Harrow had easily sniffed out the more obvious spell caster which was Thomas. So he wasn't just bound but gagged just to make sure he couldn't get himself free via magic. He didn't understand how Doxie could be so aloof about this situation since it seemed quite hopeless even to a person with divination at their fingertips. Meanwhile they got to witness what was going to be happening to them one by one. Mentally swearing to himself, and that this was bad, he was scrambling in his mind to try and figure a way out of his ropes.<br/><br/>Ironically his odd relationships with fate seemed to kick in. For when the commotion was starting, with the sudden array of cannon fire, this gave them the chance to get away. Thomas was trying to vigorously free himself but the ropes are far too strong for him to break and his head was trying to shake the gag off his mouth. Then Captain Harrow was suddenly blasted out of his boots. Good. He wasn't too keen on being keelhauled himself and the scum frankly deserved worse. He resumed trying to get himself free but he wasn't able to do it. <strong>"hmm MMMmmm!!!"</strong> He was needing some help. <br/><br/><hr/><strong>GM Notice:</strong> Nothing of note<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The wizard remained bound to the ship's mast, his hands tied and his mouth gagged.  This wasn't an uncommon event, not with such delicious company.  Let us see if the wizard's fortunes change within the round.<br/><br/>And indeed, they do, for Katarina cuts the ropes that kept him bound to the mast.  That helped you little, though, since your hands were still tied together and you were still gagged.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333939.msg15902442#msg15902442">Quote from: CurvyKitten on 29-06-2021, 03:09:37</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/011/581/264/medium/foritis-wong-13c.jpg?1530303020)</div> <span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"> Katarina (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2468105)</span></span>[/font][/size]<hr/><em>Lvl 5 Damphir rogue</em><br/><strong>HP:</strong> 45/45<br/><strong>AC:</strong> currently 10 (DAMN BEING NAKED)<br/><strong>Standard Perception:</strong> +9<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong> Curva Sacră, Nessa of the Lash, Jassa the Onyx-eyed, Thomas, Doxie<br/><strong>Temporary effects:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Kat woke up to the bright sun baring down on her naked flesh, thankfully though she’d not gained the same sensitivity as some of her kin. Still as Kat woke up she woke up cursing under her breath and straining against her ropes. “What in sam hell is this shit?” She asked but didn’t expect an answer. But it was clear she’d been stripped and bound before the rest of the crew. <br/><br/>Kat watched as there was a man thrown overboard, his body dragged along the bottom of the boat. By the time he was pulled back up onto deck the body was shredded, mangled, and all but pulled apart for them to see. It was clearly an intimidation factor. The only problem was Kat didn’t scare easy, in fact the moment she awoke she was working to get lose from her bindings. Kat looks to Doxie, “<strong>Get us out of these ropes easy, out of this scrape 70/30 split in our favor”</strong> she winked pact at Doxie as she started to work on the ropes that bound them all. <br/><br/>Which for her was an easy task, her nimble fingers made quick work of the ropes binding her hands and soon the ones binding her legs followed. The sudden attack covering her escape easily enough. Though she was still naked and unarmed Kat moved to free the rest of her group’s bindings.<strong> “Fight the pirates, these bastards just had us dead to right. Why the hell would we want to help them?”</strong> Kat grumbled as she worked to free the rest of their merry band. <strong>“I don’t know how to fire a cannon, any of you bitches know how to?”</strong> She asked before reaching for a discarded blade. Feeling the familiar weight in her hand was almost comforting. And despite being naked, with blade in hand Kat didn’t feel so exposed. “<strong>Fine I’ll fight the pirates and then the show these bastards how to tie a proper knot!” </strong><br/><br/><hr/><strong>GM Notice:</strong> freeing any of our people that aren’t free yet and freeing herself escape artist =22    At 2021-06-28 19:50:57, CurvyKitten (uid: 3408) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=154047) <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Following Sacra Curva's lead, the foxy dhampir, scourge of the night, temptress and seductress and killer one and all, slipped the ropes with such nimbleness that one might wonder at her impressive wiriness.  Then, with the cut of a blade, Katarina set her friends free by slashing the rope.  It fell at the feet of her compatriots.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333939.msg15902547#msg15902547">Quote from: Arcanist on 29-06-2021, 05:18:32</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwd1iaXR4p1qejn9ko1_1280.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Nessa of the Lash (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2470737)<br/></span></span><hr/><em>Lvl 5 Cleric of Calistria 5</em><br/><strong>HP:</strong> 48/48<br/><strong>AC:</strong> 13 (Naked) <br/><strong>Standard Perception:</strong> +10<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>  Curva Sacră, Jassa the Onyx-eyed, Thomas Harper, Katarina, Doxie, Captain Harrow (Maybe Dead) and Crew<br/><strong>Temporary effects:</strong> 24 hours Visualisation of the Mind +5 to Charisma Checks (if Possible)<br/><hr/>It was quite rude of the Captain treating them and his crew this way. Nessa was sure that there was a reason in his mind of his. All men always believe they have a good reasoning behind the things that they do, even if they don't. She did not like violence. She preferred to love, well most of the time. But this called for vengeance. Pity the Captain was possibly already dead, but maybe he could still be revived and punished for his actions. She let out a soft sigh as she felt the mast along her naked back and arse. She wiggled a little as she felt the roughness of it caress her skin. She was not as tall as the others, in fact she was quite small. Many of the men and women loved her because of it, that and her expertise with the whip.<br/><br/>Nessa smiled at Katarina then. She was close to her as Katarina worked to free her. Their skin had a similar hue. perhaps hers was a little lighter. <strong>"Thank you Katarina, remind me to reward you later."</strong>, she whispered in her friend's ear. Yes, she definitely deserved a reward. Then again it was a reward for herself too. She stepped out of the ropes as she is finally freed, gently brushing her naked body against Katarina as she does so. It was not accidental, not at all. She paused, then looked at the crew before her. "Curva Sacră is correct. We are your best chance to survive this. With our spells and healing we will turn the tide my loves. Of course when this is over, you will be rewarded." With that, she sashayed calmly to the Captain's cabin meaning to take their items. They would need them in their coming battle. She did not hide her nakedness, frankly she felt quite comfortable but knew it would be a distraction. An advantage now but not so much later.
