"12! That last one didn't count! You slipped one of the doctor's brews in my drink!" replied Bellerusse angrily.
"We do have the materials, but only enough for a small one." said Arcturus, disregarding Bellerusse's anger. "Save it for later. It could be useful. But for now we must keep going on. We'll be at the Maelstrom tonight according to Bellerusse's calculations."

Eduardo ignored Arcturus and focussed on Bellerusse.
"You dishonorable worm! The Doc was never part of our wager! Hervin was the one pouring the drinks, I never touched the barrels! And only do you lack the manhood to face you humiliating defeat and pay your dues! But you ignoble rat claim foul play!"
Eduardo whipped his Horseman's Pick from his belt and held the pointy end to Bellerusse's chin, only just penetrating the skin and having a single drop of blood form on the tip.
"If you, for once in your life, have the guts of a real man! We will settle this now. And like MEN OF HONOR we will fight! I DEMAND SATISFACTION!"

"Put that down, Eduardo. Remember, you are on MY ship, and thus will abide by MY rules!" said Arcturus sternly. "I will NOT have two of our most important officers at each others throats while we are being pursued by an Imperial Warship and about to enter the eye of a storm! Get your act together and start thinking sensibly!"

Eduardo did not move a muscle.
"No! Not only does this lowlife insult MY HONOR by refusing his fair defeat! He insults Hervin and Geralt, by accusing all three of us of cheating! This DISGRACE is something I CANNOT and WILL NOT stand for! Not now and NEVER. This Cur's tongue needs cutting out for his disgusting SLANDER!"

"He is our navigator! There is none better on this ship than him! Without him, we would be lost!" replied Arcturus. "If I didn't need you here and now, I would have you thrown into the brig for insubordination!"

With an audible crack, Eduardo's gloved fist landed on Bellerusse's nose. The navigator stumbled back, bleeding heavily from his nose. Eduardo hung his pick back on his belt.
"Don't think your debt is repayed, Rat." Eduardo seethed.
Eduardo turned on his heels to face the captain.
"Have someone come down to the gundeck with the exact size of the barrel and I will have a sabot prepared." Eduardo's tone made clear his thoughts.
Again Eduardo turned on his heels and marched to the gundeck.

- I was away when you dueled. Also, I don't keep any of my potions in the infirmary. They're all locked up in my cabin. Even if Eduardo somehow broke into it without me noticing he couldn't tell which brew is which. And no, I didn't gave him anything. There was no personal gain for me from your duel. Just accept your defeat. If you have something against me, we can always settle things in a gentlemanly manner.- Zayl calmly said while smoking his pipe. He reached for Bellerusse's bleeding and broken nose, returned the bone to it's place and stuffed cotton in the nostrils.
- Keep your head lifted up or go lie down for a while.

"Belerus, by all accounts you did lose. Just accept it, pay him and go on living your life. Personal pride is no reason to lose your head. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go play a few songs for the people eating lunch." He bowed to all of the officers. "Goodbye. Come, Aralon. going to go visit Mama Lianna now."
"Ok, Papa." Clinging to Simon's pants leg, the two moved into the mess hall. The sounds of a flute, lyre and voices rang out cheerfully soon after.

Shackled to the helm Willhelm had an excellent view to the scene that unfolding below on the deck. The discussion on how to deal with the pursuing ship, the fierce arguent between the gun-chief and the navigator and the growing tension between the gun-chief and the captain. Willhelm gritted his teeth and looked back towards the distant Man-o-war wich for some reason haven't caught up with them yet.
- It may very well be that we are faster than them against the wind, but still they should have intercepted us by now. Willhelmm murmured. What do you think Francis? Are the Fotrinds up to some kind of trickery, or are they just trying to make us exhaust ourselves.
-Even so with the tension this high amongst the crew, something better be happening soon before we have ourselves a mutiny. He then turned towards the bow and the deck with a grimm look. The way things are now, even if we're boarded we won't stand a chance against the trained, disciplined and well-armed Fortrind Imperial Marines. One of the best sea-combat forces of the world.

Arturus had enough. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Eduardo with his other hand on one of his dirks. "KEEP YOURSELF IN LINE, GUN CHIEF! YOU DO NOT HIT ANOTHER OFFICER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! WHEN WE ARE DONE WITH THIS, YOUR HOME WILL BE THE BRIG! NOW GET BACK TO WORK!"

- Tell me when you blow out eachothers brain. I could use some fresh organs. Call me when you're finished making the projectile.- Zayl calmly sayd and walked away.
"If this goes on, the captain will have a mutiny to deal with. But if he wants to capture the baron, then I'll have the perfect opportunity to assassinate the prick."- He thought.

Eduardo did not turn around. He rode into volleys of gunfire without blinking, so someone threatening to shoot him was nothing unnerving.
"Arm your pistol before you point it at someone." he said. Referring to the fact that the captain's pistol was still in safety lock. "And my honor is worth more than stay your brig."
Eduardo went down to the gundeck.

Arcturus growled and put his fun back in its holster. He ordered a nearby sailor to help Bellerusse up and to get him to the doc's quarters.
"Geralt. Fix up Bellerusse, please. We our navigator the most at this point." said Arcturus as he knocked on the doc's door.

- I did everything when you threatened to scatter the gunchief's head's content around the floor. For now Bellerusse all needs is to lie down untill the bleeding stops. And I wouldn't touch his nose for about a week. It's broken, but nothing serious. Unless you want him to be called potato nose for the rest of his life that is.

"Alright. You heard the doctor. Take Bellerusse to his quarters and make sure he is comfortable and well." replied Arcturus.
It was nearing dusk, and the winds kicked up while the seas raged and the rain poured.
"We must be nearing the Maelstrom." said Arcturus. "Let's see if we can lose those blighters back there."

Zayl was in the infirmary examining a sailor who had 'strange' aches.
- So, you're saying that both of your legs and your left arm hurts. Show me.- He said.
The sailor touched the limbs with his right pointing finger. Each time he squeaked in pain.
- I see. Does it hurt when I do this?- Zayl grabbed the finger and gripped it quite strongly.
- OW!- the sailor squealed. Zayl almost facepalmed. He prepared a cast for the broken finger and hastily encased it.
- Now. Do not use this finger for two weeks. Unless you want it to be useless.
- Oh, ok, thank you doc.- He said and left. Zayl sighed. Most of the crew weren't really bright.

By this time Bellerusse's nose had stopped bleeding, though it had not completely healed yet. He got out of his hammock, grabbed his cutlass and strode out of the officers' quarters and went down to the gundeck where Eduardo stood by his men. Bellerusse didn't even bother to issue a challenge. He just swung his sword at Eduardo's head as hard as he could just after Shreaveport yelled out, "Captain, duck!"

About nine minutes before...
Simon and Lianna had finished playing to the sailors on their lunch break, Aralon was asleep on the nearest table and everyone had begun to leave, feeling slightly happier and more inspired. Unfortunately, it wasn't anywhere near enough. Mutinous mutterings could be heard around the room, and no one seemed to care, from things like, "Crazy B@stard will get us all killed" To "I'd rather have the bard for my captain right now..."
While the second one was rather flattering, Simon still took insult and began to become worried. One of the gunmen from Eduardo's group asked, rather loudly, "Are we going to stand for-" and then Simon hit him with a rather heavy mug.
"Unfortunately, we are going to have to. For now." He told the assembled crew members. "Because right now the captain is the only one, other than Bellerusse, who has a damn idea where we are. So un-knot your britches and man up, because we still need to work together for a while longer." Mumbles of consent came from the assembled crowd. "Besides. Arcturus is mine." He muttered soft enough that only Lianna heard him.
"Simon, before you do anything stupid, we have to talk." she said, grabbing him by the shoulders.
Perplexed, Simon asked, "About what?"
"Well," Lianna gestured to Aralon, "him, first. And then about us."
The bard pantomimed swallowing nervously. "Ok, I'm ready. Hit me with your-" A sharp slap from Lianna shut him up. "Alright, no jokes. Let's go back to our room and talk."
Simon picked up the young Durok (Who wasn't really too small anymore) and walked back to the room with her. He closed the door for privacy. And they talked. Simon did not record this conversation in his journal. Nor did he talk to anyone about it, Lianna did the same, and Aralon was asleep, so we have no idea what the outcome was, nor the content.
The conversation afterwords, though, was made available to the public.
Simon finally broke off the kiss. "My Flame, your hair seems to be slightly ruffled."
"Well, Singsong, you are entirely too rough with me. It was just a kiss, you know." Nonetheless, Lianna made an effort to straighten it. "Better, Love?"
"Hmm, it's hopeless." She stomped on his foot. Hard. "Not to say that this is a bad thing, you know?" Simon grunted. "Besides, that might have been my last kiss, you know."
Lianna gave Simon a strong hug. "Make sure it isn't, you hear me?" Simon returned it to tell her "Yes." After an minute, she let him go, tears almost in her eyes. "Just come back. That's all I ever wanted from you. Just that you come back."
"I will." He reassured her with a soothing voice. "I'll come back to you if I have to fight heaven, hell and everything in between to come back. You just promise me that you will look after Aralon while I'm gone, all right?" She nodded. "All right. Good. I'll see you soon, my Dearest."
And with that, Simon left to find the captain. Lianna closed and locked their door behind him.
Simon found the belligerent crew member that had almost organized the small mutiny just minutes ago and told him, "Tell the crew you think you can trust that it begins in seven minutes." The gunman looked surprised for a second and then nodded. Simon told Jarod to do the same, though he had to explain that he meant those that would join in overthrowing the captain with him.
"A mutiny?!" Jarod whispered harshly. Alaric moved off to tell everyone he could trust. Simon just nodded.
Jarod took it in for a second and then muttered, "I really hope you know what you are doing, bard boy."
"So do I." They parted and Simon bee-lined for Arcturus's cabin.
2 minutes before Bellerusse's attack. 5 minutes before the planned mutiny.
After being invited in (Slightly due to annoyance) Simon sat down in one of the cabin chairs. "Captain, I've been wondering something... Why do we need that ship to keep following us? It's been bothering me for a while now, as I don't see why we would need them."

Eduardo ducked just in time, though Bellerusse knocked off his morion-helmet. Still crouching, Eduardo fumbled to unhook his horsemans pick from his belt. Eduardo had to dodge another stroke of the navigator's cutlass before he had he weapon ready to parry the next blow.
The next swing of the blade was met with a swing of the warhammer and the weapons met with a loud, jarring clang. Eduardo had to be carefull not to let the blade of Bellerusse slide of the hilt of his hammer.
Eduardo was quicker to recover from the clash of the weapons and began swinging his pick. The swings were wide and fast and little subtle. Bellerusse had to keep stepping back if he wanted to avoid being hit by the heavy weapon. Eduardo had a longer reach with his pick and could keep Bellerusse at bay. He counted himself lucky that he had trained with this weapon for years. The inexperienced would quickly tire, swinging the heavy hammer around.
Bellerusse kept out of the pick's reach and the gunmen gave them a wide birth to avoid injury. With every swing, Eduardo felt his musketoon bump against his leather backplate. The weapon was useless, as Eduardo had not reloaded it after the bet with Allaric. Then he got an idea. Eduardo ostentatiously reached his free hand around his back. With his other hand he held the hammer wide, ready for a new swing.
"Come, seadog. I'll make this easy for you. Just one hand. See if you can take an old Cavalier then, eh?" Eduardo taunted.
Bellerusse saw his chance and moved in. He was no fool and kept one eye on Eduardo's pick, ready to dodge a new swing. However he did not expect a swing from the hand behind Eduardo's back. Holding it by the barrel, Eduardo swung his musketoon and struck Bellerusse on the jaw with the butt of the gun. The navigator's head jerked to the side.
Turning the momentum downward, Eduardo hammered the butt of his gun on Bellerusse already injured nose. The bleeding began anew and Bellerusse stumbled backward. Eduardo made use of the opening and swung his pick. The point on the pick sank deep into Bellerusse's shoulder. With a moist sucking sound, Eduardo pulled the pick out of the wound.
Bellerusse, loosing his balance on the ever more rocking ship, keeled over backward. With a thud he hit the floor of the gundeck. Blood spilled from his nose and the wound in his shoulder. The gundeck was silent, not knowing wether to cheer or go to Bellerusse's aid.
Eduardo rolled Bellerusse over with his foot. His face pure contempt. He carefully possitioned his booted foot between the shoulderblades and with a sudden shift of pressure caused something to snap with an eerie crack.
Eduardo turned towards the guncrew.
"Compaņeros, I have had all I can take. This cur has insulted my honor for the last time. I am sick and tired of the cowardly ways of some the men on this ship. I have had enough of this fruitless quest for antiquities. And I am especially tired of the Capitan's decision to run like a kicked dog. This is not the way of Pirates. This is not the way of men of honor. I have had enough and I am turning this ship round. Even if I have to die trying. Who is with me?"

Arcturus stood with his back to Simon, facing the windows, looking out in the distance towards the Eagle's Pride.
"That ship was my old ship...before Coldraven stripped me of my rank and honor...and now he's come back for me ever since I killed both of his sons in a little temper tantrum of mine. He's not looking for pirates or justice or treasure. He's looking for me..."
