Dealing with this Werewolf Problem.

Submitted by totallymurphy on Sun, 4/7/2013 at 2:24pm

The Captain awoke from his fairy dust induced hallucinaginic haze and looks around giving thought to the recent goings on and what he could remember of the previous days. He recalled hearing various rumors of a werewolf being sighted lakeside. He even thought he recalled seeing a doglike beast just before he passed out in this.....tree.... "Was I treed by a wolfman?".... The White-Haired Fae thought aloud. After looking about this seemed the only logical conclusion as he was at the lakeside at the top of a tree. I think some investigation might be in order...
"CORSAIRS!!" The Captain called at the top of his lungs knowing that at least a small group of the crew would come to help deal with this werewolf problem.

Bart sprints to the lakeside tree dragging a hammer behind him as he dashes to the captains call. "I'll get ya down captaiiin!"
 Bart grips the hammer and lurches back to slam into the tree, before smashing his great hammer into the great tree, causing tremors and even cracks to appear in the tree.

Zwey had noticed the fairy in the trees while out gathering, but had thought nothing of it, and had gone on his merry way. A loud thump brough Zwey plowing through the bushes and undergrowth, fearing that the tripping fairy had fallen. He bursts forth from a bush, a healing spell on the tip of his tongue, "Thank the Unknown Immortal!", only to find a bloke with a hammer attempting to fell the tree that the fairy was in. 

The Captain stares petrified as he sees Bart running towards him the young dwarf dragging a menacing hammer, RageBreaker Murphy Belle had yet to tell him about the power he holds, The potential locked inside that massive mallet. But The Fae cringed knowing what was going to happen next as the hammer slammed into the tree's base.
"Aw, Sh*t" The tremors made at the base of the hammer were amplified tenfold as the traversed the distance that was the body of the tree.
The top of the tree began to swing back and forth as the white haired fae held on for dear life until the branch Snapped! and flung him with it away from the lake and in the direction of the tavern at unrealistic speeds.

The Captain returned to the lake by way of his wings. Landing near young Bart and addressing the newcomer.
"Don't worry Zwey, he's with me."
The Fae turned to face Bart.
"Bart, today we're going to find the crew a new mascot. How's that sound mate?"

As Syra runs towards the call for the Corsairs she stops dead in her tracks and notices the Captain flying through the air. With the dumb founded look of confusion she isn't sure if she should look for the Captain or go find out how he ended up soaring through the sky. 

Silver dashed through the forest towards the origin of the call.  She could hear a comotion up ahead and then a loud cracking sound, followed by the Captain going flying overhead.  She stopped to listen and was rewarded with the sound of wing beats traveling back to the source of the call.  She quickly resumed her course and came to see the Captain arriving in front of Bart and Zwey, spouting something about a ...mascot? 
 
She slowed her pace and approached at a walk.  "Another spur of the moment misadventure?"  A wry grin crossed her face.  "I suppose being fairy dusted couldn't change the Captain at his core.  I'll tag along, never hurts to have a little support."

"can we make it a puppy? I want a drug addicted angry mangy puppy to eat people" Bart exclaiming in a half inhebriated rage.

"A puppy indeed Bart, but we have to find it and manage to speak with it first, are you up for the task?" The Captain asked Bart while addressing Silver and the approaching Syra as well.

"yeah we'll go talk to a puppy, i wanna name him walthrope and give him table scraps, and feed him fae wings.... oh right, sorry about that..."Picking shreds of wing flakes out of his teeth.

The Captain turned to try and catch a glimpse of his own tattered and chewed wings. "You know you just need a little bit of the dust off of them not bits of my wings."

"yeah, but its more potent with the wings themselves"

Silver smiled at the banter of the dwarf and the fairy as she closed the distance between them.  "You need a fix now, don't you?" *heal 4*  Silver touched the Captain's wings as he toyed with them, restoring them to some semblance of grace.  "I'm up for it if you are.  Sounds like it might turn out to be a little fun too."

"Then we're settled" The fairy said cheerily. "We just need to wait for Syra to get out of the woods and...." The Captain paused for a moment looking about, particularly around Bart, as if something or someone was missing. "Bart, where is Fernando?"

"well its about noon, so we can expect hes just now waking up with a nasty little hangover in a random bed, I hope its a womans bed this time."Bart laughs and winks in respect to a story about fernando from years passed.

"Wait... Shit, did we leave them with that tab in Rica?" The Captain said not guiltily but with a little remorse for his crewmembers that ould have to fight their way into town.

bart thinks back...."yeah its pretty likely that we left em there, but whats the worst that'll happen. ol' fernando ought to be enough to get em 'ere, sides. he could use the excercise

"Ah, well then, if you have your own medic, I will be on my merry way." Zwey pulls out his hatchet in one hand, and a small cask with a leather strap around it fit over his left hand, and proceeds to move through the forest, stopping to drink or loot the woods.

"Well we've nothing else to do now but wait in the tavern for the rest of the crew to get to town." The Captain said. "Although we could stand to ask around about the werewolf in question." The fae turned to leave. "If we're all in agreeance?"

Syra leaning on a tree trunk behind the Captain gives off a devilish smirk. "Maybe I can scare him" she thinks to herself. Syra quickly jumps out in front of Captain "Well, what are we waiting for!?" She says with a big grin.

The Captain whipped around and drew his sidearm pointing it directly at the newcomer. "By the immortals!" He said with a big gun. "I suppose even when you know an elf is coming should they lurk inthe wods you never know behind which tree they rest." The white haired fae laughed heartily at this joke.

"You dear captain, could not simply understand the complexity of the Werebeast. I myself, used to track werebeasts for a living. And even now I do not understand these creatures. And scaring them does not work, they survive on instinct.' Leofrick is walking back and forth on a large brach above the group. "And how do you know if its a werewolf and not some large canine?"

The Captain flew to perch on a branch just above Leofrick's head and looked down at him from between his knees. "We don't Leo, But we won't unless we find the beast now will we?" The Captian said as if prepared to answer such a question. "I figure best case scenario we rid the town of some problem it has. Worst case scenario this problem rids the town of us. Either way doesn't town kinda win?" The White Haired Fae smiled at his twist of phrase.

"As long as it doesn't rip out one of my eyes." Syra giggles. "If we find it and kill it I call dibs on it's right eye." A smile grows wide across her face.

Silver smiles and listens to the friendly banter of her fellow Corsairs.  "The Captain makes a fair point.  Perhaps one of us should stay by the lake for a few days to see if we can confirm this roumor?  But we can always wait for our reinforcements to arrive."  She grinned and looked about with a twinkle in her eye.  "I've never known a Corsair to turn down a chance for a strong drink.  Perhaps just straight to the tavern then." 

"I think we should head to the tavern and do some rumor-gathering whilst we wait for our delayed crew members" The Captain said.

"Well lets go!" Syra said while walking towards the tavern.
