Marooned

[Gam]

*Once more, Trag began sawing at the palm tree with his dirk. He was about halfway through... * SNAP! *The tree broke off and started falling. Trag jumped out of the way. Irritated, Trag flung the dirk into the forest and started back to the beach. Silently, he cursed the men that tossed him overboard the Cargo Ship. He had made it to shore, carrying half the things he had on the ship.*

*Stopping, Trag eyed the shore and the horizon before walking out in the open. Seeing that there was nothing to harm him, he slumped down in the sand.*

*He wasn't sure what had awoken him, but yet, he took caution... It was the middle of the night, the moon was hiding behind the clouds making it completely dark. Trag started crawling up into the shelter of shrubs, pulling his spear out of the sand where he had it. There it was again, somebeast yelling, then the swishing of oars being pulled back out of the water, then the scraping of sand on the bottom of a boat. Trag only knew one thing, he had company.*

*You helped me with my rp so i'll do the same for yours if thats okay with you. *

Firetail wasn't very happy. He was first mate and his ship had just sunk. They had been going easy when they ran right into a rock throwing half the crew overboard and sinking their boat. He, Bluehide, and a slim weasel called Bulgar had been in one of the escape boats when they were caught in a rough current and swept out to sea but they luckily still had their clothes in tact, their food and water supply okay, and their weapons along with a few extras which they grabbed before leaving which for Firetail was a mace and chain along with his regulars, Bluehide a scimitar and his bow 'n arrows, and Bulgar had a sabre and spear. They had just got to an island and were getting on shore when Firetail thought he saw movement. He was the leader of the three and he and Bluehide were friends so when he held up a paw for them to stop they did and he motioned to where he thought he saw something saying "Be careful mates remember those other islands we went to with the canibal savages and monsterous serpents? I think I just saw something and since I on't smell anything and it didn't look big enough it wasn't a snake. Maybe it's a scout or something. Act like nothing happened and were just foraging then surround it and capture." He showed them where to go and when they were all in their spots with drawn weapons they started to creep up on whatever beast was there.

*You can find Bluehide and Firetail's bios in the approved pirates list. Their both ferrets.*

[Gam]

OOC: Modified my post...

*Trag peered out for the foliage at the beasts. Pirates. He would have to be careful. He felt for his bill (A spear type weapon). He tightened his grip around the handel and watched them. He would take them out, one at a time... A ferret looked his way. Quickly, trag jumped back and started off deeper into the forest. I could take their boat... Travel from island to island. Trags thoughts were interrupted by a sudden noise. Drums beating. The jungle echoed with the noise. Shouts and screams were coming from within it. Unknown horrors screamed. Not knowing what to do, Trag ran. He ran out onto the beach and away from the other vermin.*

OOC: Short but... Short.

Firetail and Bluehide ran to help the screaming Bulgar as painted vermin tried to drag him away. Firetail lashed out with the mace and a dagger while Bluehide used his spear. They finally fought them off and ran screaming as they were pursued. They saw something heading towards their boat. It reached it the same time they did and since they saw it wasn't one of the painted ones Firetail grabbed the beast and hauled him in the boat with them as they grabbed the oars and paddled for their lives. Once Firetail judged they were far enough away he stopped and turned to the other beast saying "Hey, you were the one I saw on the shore. Who are you?"

*what kind of beast is he?*

[Gam]

OOC: Trag is a a ferret. Same as you.
BIC:

*Trag answered with a sneer.* It is none of your business. *He moved to the edge of the boat and watched the painted vermin at the edge of the water.* Stay afloat here, out of their reach. We'll wait till night then go back... They may have boats.

OOC: Again, short.

[Moonlit]

* what does OOC and BIC mean?*

"Who do you think you are giving orders!? Im the first mate and leader of this group," Firetail said pulling out a poison dagger. Pushing it under the ferrets throat he said "One pierce and your dead. This daggers poison and you'll tell me who you are or find out what it does when injected. We could have left you to them so be grateful.' Bluehide and Bulgar pulled out their weapons as well.

[Gam]

OOC: OOC means "Out of Character" and BIC means "Back in Character".

*Trag chuckled, pushing the dagger out from under his chin.* They're cannibals. You'll never make it onto that island... Unless you have me with you that is... If you choose to go to sea, you won't have any water... Then what will you do? The next island is miles off and by the time you get there, the cannibals will be on you... See those big males off to the side? See those muscles? That is from years of rowing, and If you haven't noticed, they have archers bringing up from the rear and about two score males just slipped back into the woods, guaranteed to get boats. They are four times the size as this about twenty more rowers and they will have our heads on a platter by tonight if we don't get moving, and I don't know about you but, I want to by alive. So I suggest you start rowing while I figure out what we are going to do. *Trag held onto his dirk, it was hidden under folds of his cloak. If they made any sudden move, it would be spilling their guts out. He looked towards the sun then back at the vermin.* I'd hurry if I were you, they're coming.

[Moonlit]

"I'll say it again, don't give me orders and fine I-" He heard drums, the familar sound of a war drum. He turned and saw scores of paited vermin marching with boats and his eyes widened in fear. If they didn't do something fast they'd be overcome and eaten alive. At least the three of them were good swimmers and could kill themselves before getting eaten. He gulped and shook the ferrets paw "Fine i'll listenh to yer afore I get ate."

[Gam]

*Trag laughed.* Then I suggest you get rowing... Do you have any rope? String, anything? *Trag started taking his cloak and shirt off, revealing many scars and gashes.* Three tugs means bring me back up, if I tug more than ten times, hurry. Oh, I hope you can swim also.

[Moonlit]

"Yarr we can swim. Where you going? Wha-" He turned as Bluehide screeched "Eeeeeeeek!" Firetail and Bulgar turned and started berating the shark that was trying to eat Bluehide. Firetail said "Don't worry mate we got yah," while stabbing the shark with a poison dagger and Bulgar kept hold of Bluehide. They eventually got the shark to let go and panting Firetail turned and said "Here's dat rope."
