[PP-16] The Swashbuckling Buccaneer - Dibs on the Eye Patch!


Recommended Posts

A flare of white accompanied by angel song followed swiftly as Kiluia's strike stunned their startled foe.  Forgiven Disobedience pierced her armored form and left a substantial notch in the deck boards where she fell.  She was dust in the salty sea breeze an instant later.

"So much for Carla,"  Freyd replied.  Pulling his blade from the planking, he ventured down into the bowels of the ship, where the pirate's leader was sure to be hiding.  Tight quarters would make is harder for him to move and swing down here.  Fortunately, he'd been fighting with this blade more than long enough to figure out that you don't just run around swinging your sword like a baseball bat if you want to be effective.  People underestimated two-handed wielders, thinking that they were safer f they just got in close.  The ship wasn't that large and had only a single door at the stern of its main deck.  There was nowhere else for their opponent to hide.

Catching Kiluia's eye, Freyd gasped his blade like a polearm and made ready to charge.  "On your word..."

Kiluia ran up to the door after Jessamine disappeared. He swung the door open suddenly with his fist swinging. He could of sworn he felt the Quartermaster there. There was legitimately a person there but managed to slip by his fist. He was faster than he had imagined and swore under his breath. “Fuck.” He looked over at Freyd as Burlock laughed at the two. “You think you two are gonna best me without me fightin you little muggats?”

He looked at Freyd again. “What the hell is a muggart?” He glanced over at Freyd before looking back at Burlock. “I’m trying to figure out if he’s fast and lucky…. Or if we are being played.” He frowned slightly.

“You both may of bested my pirates…Lets get goin to yer graves. I’ll throw your body overboard and you’ll be floating out to see!” Burlock boasted at them while Kiluia was shaking his head.

Burlock may have expected Kiluia's fisticuffs, but getting stabbed in the gut by a sword wielded like a spear likely wasn't in his day planner.  Used in this manner, Freyd could still get the benefit of his weapon's reach without having to sacrifice its efficacy.  The startled pirate clearly hadn't expected that particular approach and stumbled backwards into his cabin in a desperate attempt to put some cover between him and his assailants.  

"No quarter requested, and none will be granted."  Freyd advanced into the room, where he could once again resume his customary fighting stance.  Burlock tossed a lantern at him, which Freyd batted aside.  The glass shattered as it hit the ground next to him, and set ablaze an assortment of maps and parchments on a nearby desk.

"Uh, Kil, I think I might have just made things more interesting.  We might want to finish this off as quick as we can."

Watching the flames spreading from one place to another, the ship was slowly burning up. With that situation in mind, he shook his head at Freyd. “Gonna end up burning to death. Or we can jump after we kill this dick” He grinned and took off after Burlock. He missed his first attack but he wouldn’t be missing his flurry of attacks. He rushed and slammed his right foot into the back of Burlock cracking the lower portion. While Burlock bent forward, he pulled back his left palm and hooked it into Burlocks nose pushing him backward into the ground. “Sucks to suck.” He looked at him as his head met full impact motion splintering the wood.

He hopped back and away from Burlock and the approaching flames. “ I really don’t like flames. Heat and I don’t mix very well. I’m also pretty sure you don’t either.” He looked over at Freyd and back at their dilemma.

"Yeah... I hear you."  Freyd took a sideswipe at the burly pirate, but his proved more nimble than expected, throwing him off balance.  Burlock seized his opportunity and swung at Freyd, forcing him to parry and role away to the far corner of the room.  It gave the quartermaster the opportunity he'd wanted, and he was quick to seize it, just as he had this vessel.  Slamming his bulk behind the table in the middle of the space, he caught Kiluia off guard, forcing him directly into the flames, adding a slash to his back with his cutlass just to add insult to injury.  He then fled out the open doorway into the open area of the lower deck.

"Shit!  Kiluia!"  Freyd cleaved the table in two, grabbing his friend's hand and pulling him out of the fire.  "Come on, we have to get after him!"  He wanted to stop and help, but this mob was way too dangerous to let loose.  Their only option was to give chase.

He was pushed into the flame unexpectantly. His eyes widened as he hated flames and being hot. The system was not cheap when it came to making him feel the flames and heat. To add salt to his injury, he felt the slash come across his back causing all sorts of irritation to him. He rolled off to the side and got up brushing all away the ash. Eyes looked up at his health and he was mad at the fact that he managed to do that much damage to him. He growled at the man running off. Kil couldn’t catch up since he had a head start.

Really? REALLY?!” He shouted at the quartermaster. The man raised his middle finger as the duo ran after him after Kiluia got out of the flames. “Oh, I’m pissed now. I’m extremely pissed off right now.” He charged after the pirate. He looked at Freyd. It was his turn to hit him.

He'd watched a third of Kiluia's health bar vanish in a single swipe, and part of it was his fault.  Something snapped inside and Freyd suddenly turned into a relentless engine of destruction.  His weapon blazed with holy fire and shattered the bulkhead separating the captain's room from the main deck as if it were made of paper.  Burlock's eyes nearly bulged out of his eyes when he saw what was heading towards him.  Angelic choir song resonated strongly in the enclosed space, with white wisps trailing behind Freyd as he stalked forward.  But it was the gleaming glow of red beneath his cowl that terrified the pirate the most.  Kiluia was behind Freyd, at this point, and couldn't quite make out what had shaken the pirate so badly.  

For his part, Burlock watched as an avenging angel of death approached, bent on unleashing celestial wrath in recompense for his previous assault.  He felt far less confident as he raised his sword to defend himself, only to have it knocked clear from his hand.  The cutlass embedded itself a full four inches into one of the narby heavy timber ribs of the ship's structure.  Another slash opened a long red gash across the pirate's torso, running from his left hip right up to his chin.  Were he actually human, his guts would now be spilled all over the floor.  Freyd's fury had been unleashed.

It seemed like Freyd had a handle of things. He didn’t see what the man’s face looked like nor did he have an inkling on how angry Freyd was. He, however, was pretty angry. The flames were already something that he didn’t like but to slash his back while he was in the flames made him angrier. Oh, and the flipping off part didn’t help. He took a deep breath and took off in a full-on sprint after Freyd damaged him. He was going to do something simply. Right hook to the face. It was all that was needed him. Hand drew back and clenched into a fist. His eyes locked onto the man’s jaw and crack.

Burlock had unfortunately turned in the wrong direction and his head snapped back when Kiluia’s fist landed square on the jaw. Freyd had distracted him long enough for him to get a good close range attack in with Burlock. The man’s body slammed into the ground and shattered into thousands of pieces. “THAT’S FOR PUTTING ME IN THE DAMN FIRE” He ranted as he looked over at Freyd. The ship was burning but not as fast. “Let’s get the hell out of here.” (All might -14 EN)

Freyd was about to agree when he noticed a large treasure chest near the prow of the ship.  They had been so focused on finding the pirates that they had both completely overlooked it when they first came below decks. Its construction was completely different in style and material than the rest of the ship and goods, suggesting that it was a later addition to the villains' loot.  It was likely from other pillage and raids conducted since they have stolen this ship from the sailor who had sent them here in the first place.  

"I think we may have found a little bonus, to make up for that shot you took from Burlock.  Sorry about that, by the way.  I should have been more careful about where I deflected the lantern."  Freyd pointed Kiluia towards the heavily banded chest at the far end of the hold.  "Think you can work some magic?"

He looked at the treasure chest that seemed to be sitting casually around them. They hadn’t seen it before and he nodded. “Don’t worry about the lantern too much. If we could predict the things around us, we’d of won this a long time ago and not be in this stupid game.” He remarked as he pulled out tools. He placed a hand on the chest examining if it were warm or cold before beginning. He leaned in toward the lock with his picking tools and began picking and dismantling the lock now quickly. With a few quick movements, a click was heard and the lid opened up.

“It wasn’t a great haul but its something.” He picked up the items and handed them to Freyd. Of course, they would be shared but he was not interested in the consumables. The man could use those materials and resell them to someone. “There ya go.” He nodded at him.
