"Yeah, yeah... Can't let a guy feel fancy for once in his life... And what about your rings?" Simon did put everything back... Well, maybe not the ring... Yet. He had grown rather attached to it. He found Aralon and picked the small Durok as he walked towards Lianna's room, which wasn't really that hard as the poor child was confused by all the commotion going on around him. "Wonder what I'll tell Lianna when she sees this..." He began plotting the many different pranks he could pull on her.
He walked into the room unannounced. "Well, my dear, 'thar' has been a changin' of the plans' to quote the gun chief. Honestly, that man becomes more and more of a pirate every day."

"So I hear..." said Lianna as she took off her dress in front of Simon with her back turned to him and the Durok child. When she took it off, she only had her underwear on. Aralon then yawned. Lianna turned around and noticed the Durok kid in Simon's arms. "Simon...what's going on?"

"Well, you know how I'm a half-elf?" He asked in a musing voice, "Did you know that the other half is Durok, my love?" He gave her his manliest pose. (Not very)
"No, just kidding. I'm not even close to strong enough to be half-Durok. Plus, I don't have scales or a tail... I wonder how that would feel. I'll have to ask Kalthak later. Also, it's impossible..." He seemed to just remember her original question again, but Lianna knew Simon well enough to know that he had only been stalling for time to think of the right response. By the stance he took, he had apparently decided to tell the truth.
"Alright, so I'm a bleeding heart and can't stand to see children suffering. Aralon, this is momma Lianna. Can you say hello to mommy, Aralon?" He asked the small Durok. "Oh, also Lianna, would you mind covering up while we have a woman starved crew standing outside of the open door..." Simon closed the door softly so that he and Lianna could talk in private.

- Whatever you say captain- Said Zayl and putted the spyglass in it's holder. He restufed his pipe and started smoking.
- I'll go and check up Bellerusse. He might poisoned himself with the booze.

The Revenant sailed on for weeks with the Eagle's Pride at its tail. Soon enough they neared the Malestrom, and everybody was angry with the Captain.
"Come on you damn slugs! The Eagle's Pride is catching up with us!" yelled Arcturus. "We don't want Imperials swarming on the deck do we? SO GET THIS SHIP MOVING!"
"Captain, according to my calculations, we should be nearing the Maelstrom tomorrow night." said Bellerusse.

As the discontent of the crew grew, that of Eduardo grew as hard if not harder. His agruments with the captain grew ever more frequent. Eduardo was very vocal in his conviction that it was better to die a glorious death in battle than to suffer the humiliation of running like dogs. Never directly insubordinate, as prevented by his military history, he had on multiple occasion accused the captain of cowardice in the more heated arguments.
Eduardo's relation with Bellerusse did not improve much either. Bellerusse claimed that Eduardo had cheated and had refused to pay his end of the wager. Eduardo accused the navigator of unsportsmanship, dishonor and several other things best not mentioned. The captain has thus far stopped both from another duel, as Eduardo had demanded satisfaction often.
As much as he had tried to remain neutral in the beginning, Eduardo had become part of the ship's internal politics.

"Well," Simon muttered to himself, "I'm no sailor, but that ship does seem to be allot closer... Hm..." He began to muse about random things that had happened before today, leading up to this chase. "Well, let's see here, first there was landing on that island, could barely see their ship then, then we found little Aralon on that floating rock, one good thing in a sea of trouble, since the captain is too busy to care about this young Durok stowaway... Next came the poisoned tea idea-"
"Papa!" A young Durok voice cried out. Aralon ran over to Simon, clinging to the bard's leg like a leach to an open wound. "Those men scared me." The young child had picked up the human language quickly, and his physical recovery seemed to be moving at the same rate.
Simon looked at the sailors, who were standing around drinking from a community barrel of Rum. "Tch, they really should be getting back to work, if the captain-" The light bulb in Simon's head lit brightly. "Poison tea, the rum barrels are about large enough to be shot out of the back cannon... I only need one more ingredient." He picked up Aralon, who seemed to have grown a little in weight and height in his weeks aboard the Revenant. "Let's go find the good doctor. Oh, right. Ahoy, scalawags! You might want to hide the booze before the captain summarily exicutes one of you for an example. Just a thought!"
Quickly, the pirates hid their rum and went back to their jobs, Simon made sure he remembered where they hid it and quickly retrieved the mostly full barrel. With Aralon's help, Simon brought this to Geralt's cabin. He knocked on the door and called out, "Doctor, we might have a way to get out of this predicament! We just need a little help, and a little information."

Zayl was snoozing when Simon knocked on the door.
- Uhm... Huh? Who's there?- he asked and fell out of the hammock. Zayl quickly putted on the mask and grabbed his gun. He opened the door aiming the gun at Simon.
- Oh, it's you.- Zayl placed the gun in it's holder- I don't drink rum if that is your intensions. What is it you need?- He asked.

"Well, first off, would you have any poison that is absorbed through the skin that works quickly and can resist degrading in alchohol? And second," He patted the barrel, "Do you think that this could be fired very well from a cannon?"

- All poison I brew retain their full qualities in alcohol.- Zayl remembered countless aristocrats he killed by putting poison in their drink.- however the one's that start working with the skin contact turn into potent painkillers when poured into distilled alcohol like rum or somogon. And they occour naturally.- He nodded at the jars with colorfull frogs in them.
- I do have one brew that'll fullfill your needs. Also, that keg will be dissintegrated on spot when fired from a cannon.

Simon smiled evilly. "So, then. I have to ask our gun chief when their ship will be in range, don't I?" He left the barrel next to Geralt. "Though, I'll need this particular barrel for an example. Come on, Aralon." They picked up the barrel and moved to find Eduardo.
Simon checked the armory first (I mean he is the Guns Chief... the armory has lots of guns... Logical that his bed should be in there in Simon's warped mind). Eduardo wasn't there. A bit discouraged that his (Not very sound) logic had failed him, Simon and Aralon moved across the deck, still trying to find this one person. The sound of a musket being fired drew Simon like a moth to the flame.
"Good shot, sir!" One of the crewmen complimented the Gun Chief. "I could barely see that one!"
Alaric took up his own pistol, drank down his glass of ale, and yelled, "Pull!" The pirate in charge of throwing out the practice targets sent the small clay pigeon flying out to sea. Alaric waited for almost a minute, and shot it the instant before it hit the water, sending shards flying across the surface. A few pirates clapped. "Told you that I was a good shot, sir. Would you care to try again? Double or nothing."
Simon, not wanting to ruin their fun (A drinking game where they shot a rather small target after taking a drink of rum) decided to set down the barrel and wait for the victor. Making a little bit of noise in the process.

Zayl closed the door and looked the cabinet.
- Now, where did I put that brew?- He asked himself by looking at the army of jars, vials and flasks standing in the cabinet's shelves. He browsed through them looking for one specific flask.
"I really should organise these in a specific order"- He thought and pushed away a jar with dried blossoms in it. Zayl finally found what he was looking for. A flask with a purple liquid in it.
- This should do the trick.- He said to himself.

Eduardo took his time reloading his musketoon. The short barreled gun was another keepsake of his mercenary days.
"You sure don't know when to quit, Alaric. You may be a better shot, but I know I can take more drink than you. Double it is. Double the money, double the drink."
Eduardo handed his tankard to be refilled and downed two fills of ale in quick succesion. He belched and pulled back the dog on the wheellock of his gun. Eduardo held the gun next to his leg.
"Pull!" Eduardo bellowed.
The clay target sailed through the air. Eduardo waited for a bit, then suddenly whipped his gun out, still holding it in one hand. With a thunderous flash the gun fired and Eduardo's arm shot back with the recoil. The target exploded in a rain of splinters. Several of the onlookers whooped and cheered.
"Your turn, compaņero."
Eduardo did not turn.
"Simon, would you hold it against me if I drank your foster-son here into submission. Not the scaly one, mind."

"Oh no, no. Not at all. It would probably teach him a good lesson, after all. Oh, by the way, the good Doctor and I might have figured out a way to knock out the majority of the people on the ship chasing us, if not kill them out right, but go ahead," Simon sat back on the barrel, "Alaric does know what he is doing. It's probably why his pockets are as richly lined as the Old Bear's (Arcturus). I hope you didn't like your money too much Eduardo..."
Alaric cried out, "Pull!" and before that target was even ten feet from the ship yelled "Pull!" again. The first one he glanced at and blew it out of the sky about a hundred meters out, the second one was one hundred and twenty-ish meters out before he whipped out a second pistol and shot that as well. A general chorus of aplause came from the pirates watching. "You know, if I could have my rifle back, I'd be able to give you a better game, Gun Chief. As it is, that happens to be against the rules. Double or nothing?"
"Cause he's the best damn gun on this ship..." Simon finished.

"The best shot he may be," Eduardo said as he raised Allaric's glass, sloshing the small bottom of ale still in it. "but he is a lousy drinker. A lousy drinker who just lost for not finishing his ale. You owe me 30 florins, Allaric."
Eduardo turned to Simon and Aralon.
"Hey there little one. So Simon, what's this plan of yours?"

Alaric sighed and held out his hand to collect the debts of the crew members around him. They mumbled some unintelligible things that are probably better left unsaid and Alaric had thirty Florins in short order. "Here you go, sir."
"Well now, Eduardo. The plan is to launch a barrel of rum, much like this one, from the back cannon on the deck over there at the enemy ship. This barrel should basically disintegrate and just leave the rum itself to crash down on the crew members." He hopped off of the barrel. "Oh, did I mention that the rum will be laced with a poison that works on contact?"

Eduardo looked quizzical at Simon.
"Unless you want to fire a metal casket, that's not gonna work. Yes the barrel will disitegrate, but it will happen inside the cannon and the rum will vaporise due to the heat of the blast. No cooperage will survive a being shot out of a cannon. And I know you can get your grubby little fingers on just about anything, but a metal barrel I doubt very much."
Eduardo pondered it a bit.
"Unless we use a small barrel and a sabot. But I don't if we have the materials for that."

Zayl found Eduardo and Simon discussing the plan.
- How about this. We take some of those canister shots we have so many, remove the pellets and fill them with poisoned rum? That should work right?- He asked while stuffing his pipe.

Arcturus and Bellerusse walked in their conversation.
"What's this about shooting poisoned rum at the Pride? Its a damn good idea if we want them to die now. But we need them for later. Especially Coldraven. Have the shots ready, but do not fire. We don't want to waste an effective weapon like that."

Before answering anything, Eduardo could not stop himself from giving Belleruse a dirty look.
"Canistershot would not work, because, like normal cooperage, most of the actual canister would be destroyed when fired. We'd be spouting fumes of whatever sasperilla you alchemist are preparing. We have to use a barrel in a sabot with a long-fused explosive. Second, I don't know if we have the materials to make an effective sabot. And most of all third," Eduardo pointed at Bellerusse, "you still owe me 25 florins, you weasel."
