{so we're just waiting for the captain to post I guess...}

[Chicanery]

[Ugh, so sorry for my neglect! School's gotten crazy busy. I'll be posting Snake's daughter either late Friday or sometime Saturday.]

Captain Tatton Reyes

The captain watched with hidden pride as his crew flew to work around. These were his men, and it pleased him to see them working together so well.
Tatton turned his head to answer Beta. "A ballista? Hell, if we can find the men to manage them, we might be able to get two," he said. Then he addressed Calico. "You were right. As soon as we're out of this predicament, perhaps we should head for port."

[Benedick]

(I'll post for the other ship once everyone has said what their character is doing. Lol, talk about starting off with a bang.)

Calico Jack

Calico grinned. "A ballista... ought to be plausible. Maybe throw some rope on the ends of the bolts, we can use them for hunting. Sharks and Ships. In fact those are good names. You draw me up some schematics, The Captain and I can approve and we'll build one on either side of the ship here at the far back. One for Sharks and One for Ships."

Calico liked coming up with stuff like this, and encouraged free thinking in the crew. He couldn't help but thinking how useful a couple of ballista would be now.

"Train the swivels on the sails and the puckels on the masts." He said, relatively quietly, just so the people at the back of the ship with him could hear.

The Stag

The Stag crouched next to a cannon on Portside and slide open the cannon covering marginally, so he could see out. Just as he caught The Ship, three large coverings on the front of the ship shot back into the ship and to the side to reveal three extending chaser cannons. Uh-oh.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" He shouted to the men by the cannons. He knew Calico, and by extention The Captain had said not to fire first, but those were rather large guns, and they'd have no reason to flash them, other than use.

"Topside, Fire!" He shouted as he poked his head above deck, indicated that it was well past time for the smaller guns to attack. One broadside from that big ship is probably all it needed, so the navigator would need to get and keep us behind it. Those front facing chasers weren't messing around either.

"Don't think I'm good enough to man me own balista now, cap'n?" He asked with joking offense and a wide grin. "I'll build me a one right behind da wheel. I dare them navy to try and sneak up!" He said the dare louder as if they would be able to hear him aboard the other ship. "Aye, got a very good vision for them. They'll make this the best pirate warship on sea!" He said proudly with promise in his voice, already itching to build them. Hearing about heading to port he thought as he shot the swivel cannon after the others. "I'll have the schematics done and ready at The Drunken Sailor, there's a mate I've been meaning to see there. Good 'ol sea dog from years back." He added, directing it towards the captain and Calico. He fired another shot, obviously quicker by a few seconds then the others above deck.
