He put his sword back into the scabard.

"I didn't know who Dev was. I'm almost glad that the scum died." Simon muttered to Eduardo. "But, he killed our helmsman. Altherion. I knew him very well, he did not deserve to die like that. He should have died in the arms of one of the women that he loved of old age. Ah well, lady Luck isn't always fair."
To the rest of the ship he yelled, "Do we have another helmsman? Anyone who could steer the ship? If a stowaway is hiding somewhere on this ship, this is your best and your last chance to come out in good standing!"
When no one crawled out of the wood work, Simon sighed, "I'll go check the hold then."

Zayl putted on the mask and the hat, becoming Geralt once more and went outside, where the corpse was. He examined it, and the large pool of blood near the ship.
- A midnight duel? The one who was thrown away- Geralt pointed at the water- could had been saved, but his most vital arteries had been cut. He died from bleeding very quickly. The other... A very nice shot captain, couldn't done better myself. There's still some left I hope- Geralt took out an empty vial and a scalpel. He cutted the vein and filled it with blood.
- I hope it isn't ruined by cheap alcohol.- he said and returned to his cabin.
"Bloody fool delayed the departure, and I could sworn that I saw the emperors agents lurking around town."- Thought geralt as he finished writing in the journal.
- Allright.- Zayl inked the quill- Antidote effects on the poisoned victims, sample one.- He written the line he murmured in the journal. He took out one rat and injected the poison. The vermin started shaking unnaturally. Zayl quickly injected the first antidote sample. The rat squeaked and fainted. There was no pulse.
- Sample one acts as a catalyst for the poison. Death is instant.- Zayl written this in the journal. He then examined the toad which venom was used.
- Oh crap. I used the wrong one. The label is almost rubbed off- he refreshed the letters on the label.- Still this brew will come in handy.- he whispered to himself.

The mercenary frigate Blood Raven was entering the Port Auflin at half speed. The evening mist was so thick you could barely see the ship's bow. Allthough all lanterns was lit and Dareck, the sharpest lookout ever, placed on the bow it was difficult to navigate the ship safely to port.
On the bridge Willhelm or "Looney-Will" as he sometimes was called, stood at the helm with a bitter expression and a hardened resolve to dock the ship with it's crew safe and sound.
-As grim and gloomy night if there ever was one ey, Francis? Willhelm poke to the thin air while keeping his pipe between his teeth. Can't see a bloody d@amn thing. For all I know there coul as well be razor sharp rocks ahea ready to tear tthis blasted hulk apart. Rough chuckling followed by hoarse coughing and said loudly. Would'nt that be something mate, wrecking the ship and sending us to Davy Jones and the locker on our way to port after the last raid of the year? Heh! He smiled coldly at the irony of what he said.
-Looney-Will ye god forsaken maniac! The second-mate Olliver shouted to him from the deck. Would yer shout yer gap and steer us to port allready before i shut ye up for good! He gave Willhelm a menacing glare as he fingered the cat o-nine tails that hang over his right shoulder.
-Aye Aye Olliver, no need to blow yer top off. I was just trying to describe the mood. Willhelm spoke assuringly. D@mn buzzard, should never in hel(l) benn allowed on board. Bloody youngster who can't do d@mn thing ey Francis?! He also murmured to himself in a low tone so Olliver would'nt hear him.
-Pier straight ahead starboard, watch for ship to portside bow. Dareck shouted from the bow. Olliver hurried to the bow for confirmation while the crew rushed to their positiosn feadying for making port.
-Hard to starboard Mr. Willhelm. Came from behind the helm.
-Aye, Aye First-mate. Hard to starboard it is. Willhelm didn't even take a look to see that First-mate Julian stood there as he turned the helm starboard.
SPLASH!
-And that's what you get for-! PANG, DUNK! Suddenly the silence was shattered by the clear sound of what seemed as combat. Used to gunshots fired Both Willhelm and Julian didn't even flinch, but the younger Olliver was taken completely by surprise and jumped and tumbled.
- What the Blazeeee...! He managed to say before tumbling overboard.
-Man overboard! Man overboard! Dareck shouted to the bridge. Second-mate fell into the water!
-D@mn that fool! Julian sneered. Of all the reckless, incompitent foolhardy idiots that ever sailed the seas, why must we be stuck with this this blah! Julian cursed as he made his way to the rail. Where is he? Dareck, can you see him where is he?!
-No sign of him sir. Dareck answered. But he should be allright, te dokcs aren't that far away. And as he looked up and forward he turned white and screamed. Willhelm watch the bow, your to close to the dock! Turn the ship to portside, turn the ship to portside! Turn the bloody ship...! IMPACT!!

In the hold, Simon was thrown around as the other ship crashed. "Dear sweet -, you OK in there?" He asked the stowaway in the crate next to him. A dull moan was his answer. "Alright friend, I'm going up to see what is going on up there, alright? Just don't come out yet. Arcturus or Nurgunnen will kill you on sight."
Climbing up onto the deck, Simon took in the wreckage. "What the h#ll kind of helmsman..." For once, Simon ran out of words.

The Blood Raven
As the crewmembers were stambling to their feet and recovering from the impact after crashing into the dock, their captain, the ever so ferocious, Ramon de Cazadoré entered the deck with in a rage.
-WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERE! His ouburst was so loud it carried across the entire harbor. WHAT FORCE IN HEAVEN OR HÆLL FORCED YOU MAGGOTS TO RUN AGROUND MY PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFULL LADY!?
With that he had brought the attention of his entire onto himself. And what a spectacle he was. Not only his face or clothes but even his standing pose was hostile and frightening. there he stood with a steel helmet adorned with a red feather, Curiass and steel gloves and boots. Across the Cuirass a couple of bandoliers holding 12 pistols and 6 daggers. On his left side of the waist are 3 types of swords, a rapierd, a saber and a longsword.
-It's Darecks fault sir! Willhelm exclaimed pale as a ghost. He didn't wacth the bow so he could give me directions. Not until it was too late that is. He bowed down to pick up his pipe.
-AND FOR WHAT REASON WASN'T DARECK ON HIS D@MNED POST DOING HIS BLOODY JOB?! WELL! Ramon stared at the lookout who in turn look down at his feet and the deck ashamed.
-I'm so sorry sir, but young Olliver fell overboard and and and...Julian muttered. I told Dareck to help me look for him. I don't know how close we were to the docks before we hit it.
-IDIOTS. BY GOD I'M SURROUNDED BY INCOMPETENT, USELESS IDIOTS. IF IT WEREN't FOR THE FACT THAT YOU THREE ARE THE SENIOR MEMBERS OF MY CREW, I WOULD HAVE YOU ALL FLOGGED. He took fort a double barrels from his bandoliers and cocked it ready to fire. Now then, if you lot doesn't want to get killed or hurt i suggest you start unloading the ship and inspect her for damage. RIGHT NOW YOU SCUMBAGS! My Lady, oh me poor, poor lady! What have these dumb snows done to you. He caressed the rail and the side of the ship, like a man caresses a lover.
Just then the unfortunate second-mate Olliver climbed aboard wet as a newly caught fish. And standing on the rail:
-By Neptune! What has happened here? Why is the ship smashed to the docks?! He burst out like the dumb oaf that he was. It looks like the "Draug"[sea ghost] has been aboard.
PANG! PANG! SPLASH! Olliver soon fell overboard again but this time with two holes to his chest never to rise again.
-ANYMORE SMART @SSES WHO'D LIKE TO MAKE SOME REMARKS REGARDING OUR SITUATION!! A red-faced Ramon holding a smoking gun yelled out. NO GOOD, THEN GET BACK TO WORK YOU SLUGS!!

"Hey, Arcturus. I found you a new best friend!" Simon yelled over to the captain. Quickly, he disappeared back into the hold to escape Arcturus's wrath, locking and barring the door behind him.

"WHAT THE-?" yelled out Arcturus as he pulled out his other gun and randomly shot where the two shots were fired from on impulse.
"GAH!" yelled out the captain of the Blood Raven as his chest was hit by the bullets!
"Ha! Direct hit!" said Arcturus. He nodded at Nurgunnen and said, "Make sure he's really dead."
Nurgunnen pulled out a gun and shot. The bullet hit flesh, and the screaming stopped. "Sounds dead to me, cap'n."
"Do it again just in case"
Nurgunnen fired again. Same result. "I think we're beating a dead horse captain."
"No you're beating a dead man." said Davaian off to the side with a grin.
Arcturus cupped his hands and then yelled, "IS THERE ANYBODY ABOARD WILLING TO BECOME OUR HELMSMAN? WE WILL PROVIDE DOUBLE THE PAY YOU HAVE NOW!"
"Wait. You actually want the helmsman that crashed their ship?!" commented Bellerusse.
"Don't argue with me! I heard their conversation." replied Arcturus as he reloaded his guns.

Pang!
-Gah! Ramon took a couple of steps backwards and put a hand on his chest where he'd been Shot. PANG! PANG! Two more shots was fired and Ramon coughed up blood and fell to his knees. Both shocked and terrified by the qucik and merciless execution of their captain the crew stood stunned and watched as Ramon's body lowered more and ore downwards the deck. He laid there gasping for air and coughing up blood and finally his chest stopped moving and the body lay still.
Silence
Willhelm, Julian and Dareck walked towards their captain knelt down beside him and sat in silence. Soon the entire crew was on deck drawn by the sound of gunshots and all gathered around the corpse and stared at it in awe. The both Willhelm and Julian methodically stripped him for his weapons purse and personal affects. Then with the help of Dareck they carried the corpse the the Captains cabin and laid hi upon the bed.
-IS THERE ANYBODY ABOARD WILLING TO BECOME OUR HELMSMAN? WE WILL PROVIDE DOUBLE THE PAY YOU HAVE NOW! The Cry came from the deck of the other ship and was loud enought to be head in the cabin even with closed doors.
Willhel looked out through the window towards the brigantine anchored on the other side. He then turned, looked around the cabin and gave the dead captain a final look before spitting on the floor and putting his pipe away.
-Well mates! We've been together for many years and had many fine adventures on this ship. But now I think t's time to move on. Both Julian and Dareck looked up in disbelief. Besides this last raid hasn't been so succesful as we'd hoped. So I'll just collect my share gather my things and abandon ship. Just face it. We're never gonna get her seaworthy again. He rubbed his head and looked rather akward. Neither Julian nor Dareck moved a musccles anf just stared at Willhelm as he counted up his fee and left the room. They stood there for several minutes waitng for him to open the door with a smile on his face as if saying only kidding.
Willhelm's belongings wan't much. A pipe with a bag of weeds and matches. A silver watch given to him by the captain. A binoculars, a compass and a couple of ship logs. And a blankett. All wich fitted in a small chest. He made his way to the deck and bid farewell to his closet shipmates before lowering a rowboat and began to row towards what could possibly be his new home and workingplace.
-Ahoy there! Someone called for a helmsman? He shouted as he was by the side of the ship.

The crash of the Blood Raven in the pier had spilled one of Geralt's inj bottles. He quickly dried the table with a sponge.
- More trouble by the minute- he murmured as he took another rat and repeated the process. The second sample stopped the shaking, but the vermin was very apathic. It was put in a 'control' jar.
- Let's see if you survive through the night. - Zayl inked the quill again- Sample two, the results are better. The oil of the goldenleaf sunflower stops the convulsions. Sideeffect- Apathy. Test subject placed for further observation.

Eduardo watched the scene unfold. The other ship crashing into the docks. The shots fired. The death of what seemed to be the captian of the other ship and some of it's crew. And the following recruitment of their helmsman.
Eduardo's right hand was grabbing the grip of his sabre, even though he had not drawn it yet. He was expecting a fight. He might even be itching for one. The guarding of the vizier he had done was particularly boring and comprised mostly of shoving people aside. A good swordfight never had been in the events. Now he might get one in minutes.
"How futile our voyage will be, is something only the prophets and the Gods know. But I am certain that boring it will be not. And that our capitan is a dangerous man, if you surprise him." Eduardo said, still clutching his sabre.
he ran he free hand over his steel breastplate. Not shots had hit him, there were not dents in it. The breastplate had saved his life in the past, but his services were not needed today. Yet.

Willhelm Climbs Aboard
-Excellent. Now if someone could give me hand with my chest, I'll be with you in a minute. Willhelm called to the deck.
-Allright! Bellerusse help the man up will you?! The captain said to Bellerusse.
-Much oblieged mate. Willhelm said as he handed the chest to the man called Bellerusse, Before climbing aboard the ship.
Safely aboard and on deck he took in the sight of the new ship he was boarding on and the new crew he would be serving. He then took out his pipe an put it in his mouth. He didn't stuff nor lit it. He just looked around, nodding sometimes to himself as if comfirming something. Years of experience on sea also helped him to identify what would likely be the captain of the ship.
-This is a fine ship your commanding Captain. Willhelm turned towards Arcturus and said. A bit untidy perhaps and she has seen better days, but a fine ship nevertheless. It would be my pleasure to take er out to open sea. Willhelm smiled.
-Name's Willhelm. Been crewmember and mercenary aboard the Blood Raven over there for the last 30 years of my life. 10 as helmsman apprentice and the rest as helsman. Now as my pay I don't demand much. Just enough rum or grog to fill this little devil each day, and 10 golden dukats and a small percent of any loot. How small you decide.

"Excellent! Welcome aboard. Hervin will lead you to the main crew quarters where you can take the previous helmsman's hammock and other things. We can discuss the percentage of loot you receive later. As soon as you're done with that, come to the helm and guide our vessel into open water."

A small procession of Stowaways moved out of the store room. Simon followed behind them, belting out commands like a drill sergeant. The group marched off of the ship with the crew watching them curiously.
Simon saluted Arcturus and exclaimed, "All stowaways off board, sir! I'm going to bed now, sir!"
And with that, Simon grabbed his hammock and marched into his cabin.

"Alright. While the new helmsman is getting situated, I'll take this chunk of wood out to sea." said Arcturus as Wilhelm followed Hervin to his quarters. He went towards the steering wheel and draped his gloves over it and then yelled out, "CAST OFF!"
The ship moved out of the harbor into open waters. Eventually Wilhelm took control of the ship and performed to Arcturus's expectations. Arcturus then went over to the head of the poop deck and assembled all of the crew down below with the officers up with him.
"Some say I'm crazy. That I am making a suicide run. That I am leading us all to our deaths. Well despite whatever lies in wait for us, we will go where I say you go! We will make it to Hell's Gate and back! We will become Legends! We will will accomplish this mission and the water's deadly embrace will not stop us! If I must I will swim to the end of the world and back to fulfill this destiny! Now you all will do as I say and be the crew that I need to sail us into the heart of the Maelstrom itself! No leviathan or storm shall stop us! THIS I VOW!"
With that last word Arcturus tossed a skull up into the air and blew it to bits with his gun. "TO YOUR POSTS!"

" I was called only for this pompastic show?- Thought Zayl as he listened to the captain's speech.- "he's worse than the emperor when it comes to this."- Zayl went down to his cabin, and emptied his rucksack looking for a specific tome. Finally he found it. A router that he stole when defecting from Frontrind. Due to the fear that it may fall to the enemy, no copies of it were made. This was the only one.
He took the router and went to the captain's quarters. The book wasn't very standing out. A brown leather cover and yellowish pages. He entered the quarters and found the captain bent over some maps and discussing with the navigator.
- Captain, I have a book that will help us with the journey.- He showed the book.- I think you know what this is.

Eduardo walked up to Davaian after the captains speech. Eduardo had made his views on the mission clear to the other officers and it would undermine the captains position if he had spoken out against the mission again. Though if one had payed close atention to him during the speech, a clear face of dissaproval could be seen beneath his morion helmet.
Eduardo tapped the first mate on his shoulder. Davaian turned around to him.
"You do realise that you hired a Cavalier as your gunchief? I do not know the first thing about sailing."
