The black wildcat climbs the ladder up onto the battlements, it was not long after 5, but the blackened cloud cover had darkened the Fort. He paced up and down the length of the Main Battlement over the gate and looked up at the torrential downpour, the moat was overflowing with the sheets of rain; his leather outer tunic was tight to the fur. He found it also hard to walk forwards for the slipperyness of the tiles. He gets to the gate and looks towards the coast. Earlier that day he had heard the news that his brother was killed in action whilst defending his family's fort. His other brother Tartarussian said he was coming to visit him on behalf of business of inheritance, but that was the last thing that Jokat wanted to think about. It was strange, for all of the hammering rain and wind, there was no sound... the clock tower struck six and at that second lightning struck purple and thunder cracked across the land. He got down and went through the door, everyone looking at him as he stood in the doorway soaking wet and with his tunic looking grey more than silver, there was a large puddle in the doorway, he shut the door "Abandon watches on battlements, and from the Tower instead, you couldn't see a corsair galleon at the front gates in this rain"....
This was the start to the post...since a sailor (Kras) has arrived and we are scuttling a corasir fleet,
MOST RECENT (IC) Posts :
**Turns to Jadefang and does a quick nod of his head then walks toward Jokatgulm** (NT) -- Captain Kras Singlerudder, 21:57:04 04/05/04 Mon
*after splintering a few boards in the side of one of the ships, it starts to slow and list. satisfied with the damage, heads to the next ship* (NT) -- Riff, 15:45:44 04/09/04 Fri
Jokat was already sailing toward the next ship, he steers the rowing boat near the side of the ship and climbs up, he throws a covered torch at the rigging, and soon the deck is a frenzy of confused vermin. The mast toppled over and smashed through the side. He dived off and swam back to Jade and Kras "How many left (coughs up water) now?"OOC: Sorry I was gone so long, I went on a short holiday to Kent... (NT) -- Jokat, 09:53:09 04/10/04 Sat
ooc:so did I..:) BIC: Fevedy barely manages to grasp the running dibbun as he holds him "woah there son,your comin to bed,you can play on the ship in the mornin if you ask the good cap'n nicely.."He turns to kras "the ships will be stopped by my friends,don't worry and thankee for the message. shall i show you to your room?" (NT) -- Fevedy, 10:04:30 04/10/04 Sat
Ah. No thank you I can see where I exited, but I'll stay here an' wait for anythin' to 'appen. (NT) -- Captain Kras Singlerudder (The Window Breaker), 21:52:01 04/10/04 Sat
"ok then..." he watched the ships "if only I could go..." he holds taylor tightly (NT) -- Fevedy, 18:25:08 04/11/04 Sun
He scuttles another, and sails to the next, but gets caught in combat. The ship is sinking and he gets swamped in by the entire crew, he swings his sword and kills as many of them as possible. He gets about three-quarters of the way through when he gets slashed in the back, he then got a battering from the sword of the captain. He then saw something under deck as he was thrown in to the knee deep water, it was a prisoner, but he needed the key to release him. He clibs back up, but the captain slams the trapdoor on him and he falls to the bottom… again...minutes later, he helps the prisoner sneak out and jump off whilst the crew abandon ship. (NT) -- Jokatgulm, 10:46:59 04/12/04 Mon
But the cat wanted the captain's blood on his blade. But a shadowed figure ambushed him from behind and he slid into the depths of the ship, he couldnt feel his tail and he felt a scar the length of his back.....he tried to see, but the boat started to turn and sink he climbed out of a window into the sea and clung to the bottom of another ship where noone knew he was or could see him, the captain thought he was dead and did not look for him, but there was small hole to breathe through. He hoped that the ship wouldnt get scuttled........noone saw...and noone knew... (NT) -- Jokatgulm, 10:48:51 04/12/04 Mon
So Lets continue shall we???

| *after slowing three and sinking one ship, heads to go on the deck of the next ship. sneaks up behind the rat at the helm and takes him out with a right hook, grabbed the limp rat and dropped it over board. turning to the helm he grabs it and makes the ship do a hard right, into the path of one of the damaged ships. then ties it to ram the ship and jumps off.* (NT) | Riff | 05:48:08 05/02/04 Sun |
|
| The wildcat sees through the watery blur the wood of the oher ship heading for the one he was on....he let go and tried to swim out of the way;however a current created by the mass of the ship pushed him back against the hull of his own. The ships collided and the wildcat was crushed between them, then thrust through a new made hole into the blade armoury, where he met a thousand new gashes over his back before collapsing in the water filled room...he stopped moving and stopped breathing...

- **Looks around and then remarks loudly to himself** Wonder where that Jokatgulm go to? (NT) -- Cap'n Kras Singlerudder, 21:59:55 05/04/04 Tue
- *Sari searches furiously for Jokat* Jokat! Jokat! Where are you! *she looks over the forts wall from the battlements and spots the ship knowing he was probably inside.* JOKAT! *she picks up her skirts and runs down the stairs, running for the closest way out, she opens the door and runs out, ripping off a fair large portion of her skirts, she wades in the water, even though she hates water, she slowly swims over to ship and grabs onto a rope from the sail, and climbs up it, she looks around the deck, and then paces down to the second floor of the ship, finding the room starting to fill with water, she spots Jokat and wades over to him, she grabs his shoulder and slowly starts to drag him to the stairs and slowly starts to drag him up stairs, she stops and breaths heavily* Jokat...Jokat...*she places his head on her lap* Jokat...please wake up.......(I kind of got lost in the other one so forgive me if I got this wrong but I wanted Sari to save Jokat.) (NT) -- Sari, 03:23:47 05/09/04 Sun

| He notices the expression on her face; "I won't make it...there are still archers near....I can get to the lifeboat," he coughs up blood as he gets up again, impaled by his own blade he tried to support Sari to the lifeboat, they get in it and Jokat starts trying to paddle for the mountains, out of sight of the corsairs. As they approach the other side of the mountain, Jokat gets onto the shore hurriedly, clutching one arm in the other, he knelt down to try and draw his blade out. But what he saw when he looked up was a tall Captain; his curved blade at Jokat's throat."You'll come with us..or you will die.. resist and you will be sent to the infernal cavern below" he points to an array of archers on the crest of the hills. Jokat, defeated, signals Sari to follow as he throws down his blade and bow on the sand "I'll get you back" he whispers as he walks to the base (OOC:Noone come looking for us...I'll incorporate it into the story a bit later, Ok? Carry on with the battle) (NT) | Jokatgulm | 18:18:34 05/13/04 Thu |

(NT) | Jadar | 21:28:17 06/23/04 Wed |
|
| *picks off a rat and turns to S'rathro* that would be nice, but its not that we need to do close combat, just keep them back from the walls. we need to get the wall fixed and any injured taken care of. find some with slings and bows and have them spread out on the wall. *thinks for a second* hey S'rathro, wheres Jokat and Sari?

| OOC: My browser has had problems gettin' on m-boards like these, anyway, we're back up with a new PC. BIC: The wildcat had assembled a basic flare out of dried grass and struck it against the rotting wood. It reached merely metres above the mountain-top. He walked over to the door and barged it open with his shoulders, he thrust a guard against the wall, almost crushing his neck as he took his keys, and his life. He turns to Sari "C'mon!" he tosses the keys to Sanjay as he starts to climb onto a window-pane and prepares to jump out...OOC: What's the "ich kenne, du kennst nicht" because "Ich kann, und ich kann ziemlich gut , aber was??" Anyways, let's try and get this going again... (NT) | Jokat (Is Sari still around) | 15:38:04 08/01/04 Sun |
